Come prepared for outdoor activity, rain or shine. Wear old clothes, shoes suitable for climbing over rocks and walking in mud, gloves, hats, safety glasses, collecting containers, sun block or rain ponchos. Bring your own hammers, chisels, and small garden tools, if you have them. However, we do sell or rent prospector’s tools. Power tools are not allowed.
Mining for Herkimer Diamonds is an outdoor activity enjoyed by people of all ages. Prospector tools are available for rent or for sale. They are desirable, but much can be accomplished with small hammers and garden tools. Visitors should come in clothing suitable for digging in the earth. We also have a 150 foot long sluice (water trough) available, allowing you to sift for crystals using our sluice kit.
If you like, bring your lunch and rest in our picnic area. The
Rock Shop keeps cold soda, ice cream, candy, etc., available for a quick snack.
Everyone who enters the mining area must have a ticket. Mining is allowed between the hours of 9:00AM and 5:00PM. Diggers may take home all the Herkimer Diamonds and rock specimens they find for no additional cost.
You are welcome to bring your own hand tools (up to a 12 lb. hammer), but tools are also available to rent or purchase.
Most small tools are available to rent for only $1.00 each.
Sledge hammers range in weight from 8 lbs to 12 lbs.
Includes 1 course screen, 1 fine screen, 1 plastic scoop.
*For sanitary reasons, gloves and safety glasses are available for purchase, but are not available to rent.
Didn't bring any tools? No problem! We have plenty of tools available for rent or purchase. We also have gloves and safety glasses available for purchase.
