I’ve discovered a couple of great unclaimed (I am considering staking claims in the Fall after exploratory digging) sites in the greater Colorado Springs area, and while my friends have fun tagging along when they can, I’m looking for a local, reliable & honest mining buddy, Preferably with a 4x4 vehicle and can pick me up in Colorado Springs, and drive us to the trailhead or we can check out some cool more remote places in the future. (I have a truck, but it needs some work before I can drive it). Also preferably available on week days as I usually have plans on weekends, but weekdays free

So far what I have been finding is Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Microcline & Amethyst, hope to soon find Topaz & Amazonite among other specimens. I have only done a few hikes to site A, where I have found the above minerals in matrix single and double terminations, some with interesting re-healing of the crystals, and I believe I found a double termination (however I cracked a termination tip in excavation) smoky with a phantom inside. (their currently cleaning)

Anyhow, I’m hoping to spend most of the spring/summer/fall mining in the Rockies and am looking for someone that can semi-frequently join me on semi-local (under 2hrs from Colorado Springs; Several within 45min drive) mining expeditions. It will usually involve hiking 4-8 miles in a day, and involve working at higher altitudes. Someone up for camping for several days would be great, especially on weekdays. Need to have your own gear & tools.

Also anyone interested needs to be honest & trustworthy, not only will we be working together in the back country and will need to trust each other & rely on each other in an emergency, but also I have not claimed several of these locations yet, but either intend to or am considering staking a claim, so I need folks that will not stake a claim on my find, or tell anyone where the area is, and keep it secret to themselves. In exchange you keep any minerals you find and haul back with you.

So yeah! If your interested, live in the Colorado Springs area, have a vehicle and are up for an adventure, drop me a line!

(Will post some pictures after specimens are clean) :)
