Ive been trying to find out just where this place is . Long Hollow, somewhere south of Devil's Head. Im thinken its just SW of Topaz Point but how far I don't know. Id would like to do a walk through, cause I have nothing better to do right now. Any help out there?

It's that area where I've been digging. That's actuallly Long Hollow. But a ranger a couple weeks ago that I was talking with said that's further to the south, near the quartz mines... which I have yet to find myself. Not sure if there's two long hollows or what, but it's titled that in my mapbook. So I dunno - will say, love to get out there with you sometime in the near future.. lets look together.

y'all be careful out there! lol



BigFoot Reporting!

Why you say that, Crusty? I've done my research for claims, so I'm NOT claim jumping. Dunno bout this other guy.. but he seems legit thus far.

Ha! You crack me up Crusty. Crusty was telling you to be careful because of the Big Foot sighting in that area. Did you click the link NewRockHounder?

Have fun out there this weekend guys and I hope you hit a huge pocket!

Bigfoot owns a claim up there.

That's what I live for... to give folks a reason to laugh, with me or at me!

Now guys, my cousin BF don't have any claims out there.... He's way to shy to file one!

Maybe Dan was up there scouting for new CP areas?

don't be meesin' with Sasquatch

Ah so... I did not click the BF link.

Badtoad, are you only wanting to look in the Devils Head area? Are you looking for Topaz and/or Smokys?

Ive been all over getting the feel on just how hard I want to work to find something cool. Im looking for anything n everything. Ive been to Lake George, Ruby mountain, Crystal mountain, and up in Rocky mountain national. Im getting the leg work and knowledge base down on what areas to look at next year. I seem to find good looking points everywhere but never the whole thing BUT I know where to look.

Mineral collection/prospecting of any kind is illegal in RMNP.
Please do your due diligence and check legalities before prospecting anywhere. We can help you with that.

I know it's illegal , I was just looking while hiking there , that's not illegal yet. I'm living in a tent right now till the bank makes up its mind to let us sign the papers on the house. Getting old, they always come up with something else to jump through. Cant wait to get moved in then get back to diggen . I'd like to hit Lake George north but can't find a way in. Unless there in a side road off of 94 back there that isn't private land.

Be careful out there - lot of claims. Do your research -

I know I know

From what I have found this may be the spot...

It is located near the start of Forest Service Road 348 about 5 miles south of Devils Head

This may help a little more. Long hollow This will lead you up to the old quarry.

Not sure though. Seems that people refer to the old quarry as long hollow. Is there some mysterious second long hollow that we dont know about....
