Wear old clothes, shoes suitable for climbing over rocks and walking in mud, gloves, hats, safety glasses, collecting containers, sun block or rain ponchos.

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. For the more serious mineral collectors we also offer guided mineral collecting.

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.
