My Boyfriend and I live in Manchester, CT. We are new to the idea of treasure hunting and are excited about places in Connecticut (if there are any) or areas close by. I have a small amount of experience in panning for gold. We are interested in gem stone and gold treasure hunting. What kind of group are you trying to put together?

I am looking to find people who are interested in finding gem stones. I would definitely be up for looking for gold, but I know a few places to find different types of rocks like Amethyst, garnet, and diffrent color Quartzite. Would you guys be interested?

If the places are close enough for day trips, we would be. saturdays would be the only day we are both available. what time of year were you thinking of going? Have you done it before?What towns/states?

Is the meeting in Springfield in the evening?I'm definitely interested in going, finding time is the problem. what towns in Connecticut and Mass are there places to go find gems? Going with people that are experienced would definitely be helpful- I would have now idea where or what to look for.

I see you are looking for one type of gem. I have not seen danburite, but apon looking into it, i have many that look quite close. I have been to the hurkermer dimond mines, and they are worth visiting.

You all are off to a great start here. a group of us have done what you are trying to do. check out wet in washington or agate addiction and you will get more idea's. make it a three step outing. first pick a known site.second have a guide who has been there before.third pick a date farenough out that people can make plan's and arrangement's and exchange little tid bit's of info suck as accomidation's for shy people. Not every one is comfortable watering the daisies if you know what I mean. Also road conditions and closest town. A tool and clothing list and possible ride sharing from a designated point. I look forward to report's of a group of you making a successful first trip. JUst remember to have fun it is the most important part.Good Luck Tom 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Can you tell me where we can go panning for Gold AND Diamond Mining? A few of us would love to go, but don't know where. We are from Tolland County. We wouldn't mind traveling 1-3 hours. I went to Herkimer, NY and had a great time. We found a few crystals.Thank you. 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
