Misleading Experience and Poor Customer Service – Not Worth the Price
Fort Drum Crystal Mine的点评
点评：I had high expectations for my visit to the Ft. Drum Crystal Mine based on past experiences and the promotional material online, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a huge disappointment. Having visited the site years ago under previous ownership, I was excited to return, especially with the promise of high-quality material and a productive dig. However, what I actually experienced was far from what was advertised.
Despite paying $1,000 for two people, we were left to sift through what was essentially bunk material, yielding nothing but broken fragments, seashells, and clam tops with no crystals. Meanwhile, others—especially those associated with the owners—were retrieving full clams and clusters from separate piles we were told not to dig in. The claim that we were given "A-grade material that had never been searched" was simply untrue.
To make matters worse, the hosts were dismissive when concerns were raised. After two hours of fruitless digging, I approached them about the lack of quality specimens, only to be told to "keep digging." Eventually, I walked away after realizing that I had been misled. The final straw was when the owners took off with another group and left us behind without offering to bring us back, which was extremely unprofessional.
This experience was nowhere near worth the price, and I left feeling scammed. If you're a serious rockhound, I strongly advise looking elsewhere. I will be sharing my experience with others to prevent them from making the same mistake.

翻译：根据过去的经历和网上的宣传材料，我对参观 Ft. Drum 水晶矿抱有很高的期望，但不幸的是，结果却令人大失所望。几年前，我曾到过这里，当时矿主承诺会提供高质量的材料和富有成效的挖掘，因此我很高兴再次来这里。然而，我实际体验到的远非广告宣传的那样。
尽管我们为两个人支付了 1,000 美元，但我们只能筛选基本上是铺垫的材料，只得到破碎的碎片、贝壳和没有晶体的蛤蜊盖。与此同时，其他人（尤其是与矿主有关的人）正在从我们被告知不要挖掘的不同堆中取出完整的蛤蜊和成簇的蛤蜊。声称我们得到了“从未搜索过的 A 级材料”完全是假的。
更糟糕的是，当提出担忧时，主人不屑一顾。经过两个小时的徒劳挖掘后，我向他们反映缺乏优质标本的问题，但他们却告诉我“继续挖掘”。最后，我意识到自己被误导了，于是离开了。最让我气愤的是，店主带着另一群人离开了，把我们丢在了那里，没有提出要带我们回来，这非常不专业。
这次体验根本不值这个价钱，我离开时感觉自己被骗了。如果你是一个认真的岩石爱好者，我强烈建议你去别处看看。我会和其他人分享我的经验，以防止他们犯同样的错误。
