The Mine

OPEN 7 days a week, April 1st - Oct. 31st

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.

Mine from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM

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.
