点评:This review is for people that just want a souvenir or maybe with children. We were coming into Herkimer and had no idea which mine to go to. A regular, after hearing I didn't want to difficult or intense, suggested Crystal Grove. It was a great choice. We bought a bunch of tools, rock hounding kit, sledgehammer, picks, chisels. We started out trying to break the rocks. It's not easy, they don't just fall apart. Then we started finding ones just lying on the ground. I really wanted a diamond stuck in a rock for display, I figured it would be like hitting the lottery, I found several, see photos. Bottom line, unless you are super serious and really want large crystals, you don't need a lot. Pick hammer, screwdriver and hand garden shovel. Bring a baggie for your finds. Wear hiking boots, the field is all rocks, it's tricky to get around. There are 2 areas, we stopped at the first one (black diamond field). Most people were going to the other one, which suggests it's better. I was happy with my finds and didn't check the other one out.
翻译:这篇评论适合那些只想买纪念品或者带着孩子的人。我们即将进入赫基默,但不知道该去哪个矿井。水晶格罗夫(Crystal Grove)听说我不想太困难或太激烈后,建议他成为一名常客。这是一个很好的选择。我们买了一堆工具,岩石猎手工具,大锤,镐,凿子。我们开始尝试打破岩石。这并不容易,他们不会轻易崩溃。然后我们开始寻找那些躺在地上的东西。我真的很想要一颗镶嵌在岩石中的钻石来展示,我想这就像中了彩票一样,我找到了几颗,看照片。最重要的是,除非您非常认真并且真的想要大晶体,否则您不需要太多。镐锤、螺丝刀和手园艺铲。带一个袋子来装你的发现。穿上登山鞋,田野里都是石头,走动很麻烦。有两个区域,我们停在第一个区域(黑钻石区域)。大多数人都去了另一家,这表明它更好。我对自己的发现很满意,没有检查其他的。
