    You're going to need to show me where that stuff is at. I looked all over up there and I couldn't find a thing. I was probably in the wrong areas! All those specimens are beautiful!

      The GPS coordinates for Gold Hill in the video description will get you to the parking area. From there, you will see a trail leading South up the mountain. It's a steep hike, but once you reach the top you will see the main collecting area. The colorful minerals are on the southwest side of the 'pit.' (40°09'40.2"N 113°48'22.7"W is the pit). Good luck!

    Read from another comment that you sometimes go with people from an organized group from FB. Too bad I don’t have that app 😭 otherwise I’d be very happy to join on the outings. What is it you’re finding in this video? Thanks for always being willing to share the coords. As a solo rockhounder, and doing all my own research for UT, ID, WY, MT, AZ & NV rock trip locations, it’s nice to be thrown some freebies every now and then! Great vid, beautiful finds!

      Yeah its a fun group to go with, they get permission to go to some cool spots! In the video I was finding mainly conichalcite (green) and chrysocolla (light blue) on quartz, as well as malachite, azurite, and other copper associated minerals.

      @@utah_rockhoundvery neat and gorgeous specimens! Were these locations places that the group got permission to be at? I’m using a BLM map and these two mines don’t fall into public lands. Just curious, I obviously would never want to step on any claim owners/ private land owners toes. To your knowledge, if you know that info. I know you included the coords but, just to be on the safe side.

    • @utah_rockhound

      My understanding is that they are patented mining claims and the group had permission to go there.

    Good video! What group were you with? Do you ever do meet ups?

    • @utah_rockhound
      @utah_rockhound  Місяць тому +2

      Thanks! The group is a Facebook group called 'Utah Rock Collectors.' They organize field trips to some really cool spots. I personally don't do meet ups, I'm usually just along for the ride lol!
