Finding Sphalerite & Fluorite Crystals In Niagara Falls (Rockhounding for Gems & Minerals)

Join me (Jeff) Off The Beaten Path Crystals on my search for Sphalerite Crystals at the famous Montrose Dumps in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This Rockhounding and mineral collecting site never disappoints me as I always seem to come away with at least one good crystal.
Collect, rock hound, explore, dig and hike at your own risk.

I am never disappointed when I visit these parts, always a crystal treasure to find. I still treasure my quarter sized sphalerites

Found some beauties there in the past. Great area. Love the sphalerites, fluorites and calcites there.

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

Its a good spot. I got a feeling they will be building soon on some of the dumps.

Autumn is good there when the foliage is almost non-existent and the ground isnt quite frozen yet. Further east to the hydro canal lots of beautiful minerals there aswell.

This is an awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

Great finds Jeff, the hill there also used to be the city dump for a time. That airplane used to hold candy and is probably from the 60's. Should have called me up, could have met up with you.

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

There seemed to be lots of old glass there, might be worth poking around in the dumps for treasure and not just crystals.

@@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals Yeah it's mostly 50-60's stuff. I'm sure there would be some cool stuff though.

Glad I found your channel. I've been watching you and Mick for years now on his channel. You guys always get me inspired and I just went up to Midland area for a few days to collect crystals. He hasn't posted a video in a while so been watching lots of old stuff. Saw you on me miners video and he shared your youtube name so super happy to have found it and glad you're still out doing what you love and inspiring people. Nice finds btw 💎😁

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

Thanks. Nothing beats the look of a nice little transparent gemmy Sphalerite Crystal.

Great start to the season, Jeff! Nice finds. They'll look very nice in that new cabinet of yours!
