Ive wanted to do that for awhile. various places Ive seen and heard of where mining and camping are combined. a dedicated digger can easily fund their trip based on what they find. gold, opals, diamonds, emeralds....even fossils

yeah, I could totally do that.

Me too! I've wanted to, there is a tourmaline mine or something like that (I'm bad with remembering what stone is what) near LA area. Do not know if they are an open to the public mine or not.

That's what we were going to do for our vacation in 2 weeks, but gas prices have forced us to steer closer to home. We were going to Montana to dig for sapphires and pan for gold, but instead we'll do garnets right here near home. The kids are pretty excited about this trip! We'll be camping too, hopefully it stops raining soon :P

I saw soemthing on Travel Channel some time back about this. 3 spots in San Diego area Capt. jack, as I recall!

Himalaya Mine - www.highdesertgemsandminerals.com
Oceanview Mine - www.digforgems.com
Cryo-Genie Mine - www.cryo-geniemine.com

Again, I'd love to do this, too!

I am hoping to make Camp Swank 2010. I'd be coming from far away and it doesn't make sense to bring a bunch of equipment (that I don't have currently and I'd have to buy in 2 years time BTW). How could I not be a moocher? And no, saying "Screw it" and not coming is not an acceptable option though it could be an option depending on what happens between now and then. I don't want to be considered a moocher.
