点评:Went down during a DIG. Extra $ for dig days but I thought it was worth every penny. I got some really interesting rocks. I go to Arkansas a lot and I found some different pieces here with heavy manganese and others with rose quartz and a few with heavy iron but I swear the latter makes the rock look like orange calcite. IRON OUT does nothing to it since it is deep inside the rock. Love it.
Parking is easy. Drank a ton of water but did not have to use the restroom but there is one.
Lots of room to spread out with different areas to dig so I did not feel cramped.
Do not come too early. I arrived about 10 minutes before, and the gate was not open. Not much room for more than two cars to back up before you are waiting in the road.
There was a gentleman to come around from the BBQ place up the road (about an hour after opening) and ask if I wanted to order lunch. I had brought something in my cooler so did not, but I will next time since I now know that service exists. Not sure if he comes for the weekend public digs.
I spent about 5 hours and enjoyed myself. Chris is really nice and informative.
If you have never been to this area, forget about going back into Atlanta. OMG. It has gotten too crowded and crazy for driving. I used to love going to the big city, but I avoided it after having come from there.
翻译:在一次挖掘期间去了。挖掘日需要额外付费,但我觉得物超所值。我找到了一些非常有趣的岩石。我经常去阿肯色州,在这里发现了一些含重锰的岩石,另一些含玫瑰石英,还有一些含重铁,但我敢肯定后者让岩石看起来像橙色方解石。由于铁元素位于岩石深处,所以“IRON OUT”对它没有任何影响。我很喜欢。
停车很方便。喝了很多水,但没用洗手间,不过那里有洗手间。
空间很大,可以分散开来,有多个区域可以挖掘,所以我并不觉得拥挤。
不要来得太早。我大约提前10分钟到,大门还没开。两辆车倒车的空间很小,然后你就得在路边等着了。
有一位先生从路边的烧烤店过来(大约开门一个小时后),问我是否想点午餐。我冷藏箱里带了点东西,所以没去,不过下次我知道有这项服务了,我会去的。不知道周末公共挖掘的时候他会不会来。
我待了大约5个小时,玩得很开心。Chris人很好,知识也很渊博。
如果你没去过这个地区,就别想再回亚特兰大了。我的天哪。现在开车都太拥挤太疯狂了。我以前很喜欢去大城市,但从那里来之后就尽量避开了。
