adam Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Got over to the Pala Chief & Ocean view mines for a little rock hounding, and even found a few things. Looking across the valley to the Tourmaline Queen Mine? One of the steep tailings .. My finds.... Triphane, Kunzite, Green Tourmaline etc. Cousin`s finds; she got some great gemmy pinks, and a big quartz crystal from the Oceanview Mine 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Very nice finds!!! Are you able to hunt the area without paying any fees? Or was it a fee dig operation? Edited October 22, 2018 by Morlock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay and they turn you loose on the large tailings of the Pala Chief Mine. San Diego County, CA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_day Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I've seen some stunning pieces come out of those places. The only time I went I got mostly low quality fragments, but I did find a nicely terminated green micromount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
