Howdy Treasure hunters,
Ruby hill for red garnets, gold in the Arkansas River, Aquamarines on Mt. White and Mt. Antero, you can see all of them from either nathrop or Buena Vista.
If you really want to hunt for gemstones come with us this July. 22-25th we are scheduling a field trip to hunt for Diamonds and Gold in the state line district. Find out how to identify and prospect for Diamonds, hall of fame geologist Dan Hausel and I will take a few lucky prospectors and teach them all the in's and out's of prospecting for Diamonds and Gold. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity... access to these areas is granted only rarely. (this trip is the only time I've ever heard of)
Professional lectures on geology and the incredable history of the old west. Lost mines, burried treasure, indian wars, cavelry outposts, overland stage stations, robbers roost, the list is huge... come on out you'll be glad you did!
Call me soon, only 10 lucky prospectors will go with us!
