Summer Rock Hound Tour

Hunt for treasure with the professionals at McCoy Minerals! Last year, people found emerald, citrine, mandarin quartz, moonstone, peridot, and more. There is a creek on the property that people get into to look for stones, so come ready to get wet and muddy; a change of clothing is recommended.
