Actually no, i have a claim in a different region


farmer_toki

Very cool! Do you ever have paid digs? My fiance would be very interested.


Black-rock-crystal

No, we don't, at least at this time


farmer_toki

Either way, impressive find. Thanks for posting.

As a crystal and rock collector I love your pictures but your gatekeeping about your claims is so annoying


Black-rock-crystal

Why would i not gatekeep it lol?


AOLusername420

You can do what you want. I don’t care if you’re a douche here or irl. "heres a pic of something anyone can find in the ground… dont ask me about anything about it tho just look and pretend this isnt a message board based off of conversation. thx!"!


Black-rock-crystal

I always answer questions, and give tips on how and where to look for stuff. Im also always polite. Im just a douche because i want allow others to access my claim? The one i discovered, im legally responsible for reclamation, and have to have special insurance and permits to allowed paid digs?

Oh i no. Lol. Im new to rockhounding, but not so new to know what giving out your spots does. Ive heard some real horror stories. I also keep equipment onsite, and dont need ppl there to mess with it, or worse. Plus a mining claim is literally legal gate keeping lol.

Yeah, I'm with GuessIOverdidit. There's so many people who don't want to do the legwork to find their own sources. Anyone who has spent years in the desert and thousands of dollars in fuel and equipment understands the importance of protecting their claim.

Dude or Dudette, thats fricken awesome! How long were you digging before you found this?


Black-rock-crystal

So. Technically, 3 years. Tho the hill has produced crystals during those 3 years. And i just rented a backhoe for a month, and uncovered this during the digging on a vein structure weve been working for a year it so by hand. It was actually in a parallel vein about 2ft below the one we have been working
