点评:This review is on our trip in July 2023.
Our first trip to New York to dig for Herkimer Diamonds was back in 2010. We dug at the Ace of Diamonds mine. Great time & loads of herks to be had. Smashed rocks, sifted through dirt amongst the piles, and walked around plucking them off the ground. We returned multiple times until suddenly the landscape changed and the rock pile was not the same. All there was were rocks from the cliff that the claims people had sheered off to hopefully find pockets in the walls.
We find out in our 2021 trip that the Ace of Diamonds is in a lawsuit and it cannot dig up new material/loads of rock and earth from deep in the mine areas to dump for all of the daily customers to prospect. The place is a waste of time and money now.
Fast forward to today July 2023 and we see they post that they are able to now dig new material and bring it to the piles. We have high hopes that we will get to enjoy this place once again and head out from mid Ohio to see. Upon arrival the pile does not lie...it tells us that nothing has changed. We buy our wrist bands and ask if they have done as they suggested on their website and added new material. They hedge in their answer and claim that they just cant get any of the machines working...I would suggest that you do not post a promise of new material until you are actually able to do this.
Another absolutely sad trip to Ace of Diamonds Mine. I am not sure why anyone would donate to the gofundme. Lesson learned that they are just looking to have people give them money.
翻译:这篇评论是关于我们 2023 年 7 月的旅行。
我们第一次去纽约挖掘赫基默钻石是在 2010 年。我们在 Ace of Diamonds 矿进行了挖掘。美好的时光和大量的乐趣。砸碎岩石,筛出石堆中的泥土,然后四处走动,将它们从地上拔下来。我们多次返回,直到突然地貌发生了变化,岩石堆也不一样了。那里全是悬崖上的岩石,据说人们把这些岩石推下来,希望能在墙上找到凹处。
我们在 2021 年的旅行中发现,Ace of Diamonds 正处于诉讼之中,它无法从矿区深处挖掘新材料/岩石和泥土,然后倾倒给所有日常客户进行勘探。现在这个地方浪费时间和金钱。
快进到今天 2023 年 7 月,我们看到他们发布消息说他们现在能够挖掘新材料并将其堆放起来。我们非常希望能够再次享受这个地方,并从俄亥俄州中部出发去看看。到达后,这堆东西并没有说谎……它告诉我们什么都没有改变。我们购买腕带并询问他们是否按照网站上的建议进行操作并添加了新材料。他们在回答中回避并声称他们无法让任何机器工作......我建议您在真正能够做到这一点之前不要发布新材料的承诺。
又一次绝对令人悲伤的钻石王牌矿之旅。我不知道为什么有人会向 gofundme 捐款。经验教训是,他们只是希望人们给他们钱。
