48-Hour Dig Event @ Fort Drum Crystal Mine Allows Access to the Following 4 Dig Options!

(Dig All Day & All Night!)

Grizzly Screen

Quickly process material with our heavy-duty “Grizzly Screen”.

Screen is loaded by machine with fossil-bearing dirt. The large screen readily removes sand and rock, allowing you to search through tons of material.

Using a hose, wash material and search through rock with a hand rake.

Larger specimens are found with this option, such as Fossilized, Calcified Clams and Whelks.

This process is how we commercially mine.

*Unlimited scoops - search through as much material as you can!

Screen Table

Screen is loaded by machine with fossil-bearing dirt. The screen removes sand and rock, allowing you to search through material.

Using a hose, wash material and search through rock with a hand rake.

Smaller specimens are found with this option, with a wide variety, such as: Fossilized, Calcified Clams, Whelks, Snails, Olive Shells, Sharks Teeth, Bone, Coral, Barnacles, Sand Dollars, Sea Urchins, and more! Plus, more Calcite Crystals than you can handle!
