Area 52 Ticket 8-29
The Crystal Collector Clubhouse has been invited to dig at the famous Area 52 Herkimer Diamond Mine in New York!
While the owner has recently begun allowing a few select clubs onto the property, this is the first time our Clubhouse has been invited, and we’re excited to make it a memorable weekend. This event has a 50 people maximum per day.
⛏️ EVENT DATES
📅 Saturday, August 29
📅 Sunday, August 30
You can attend one day or both days!
🎟️ ADMISSION
💵 $50 CASH per person, per day
Paid directly to the property owner upon arrival.
🎫 $7 Clubhouse Ticket (per person, per day)
A Clubhouse ticket is required for each person attending, for each day (Saturday and/or Sunday). These ticket proceeds help cover a bit of machine fuel, the Crystal collector will personally be flipping lots of piles just for this dig!
🚜 FRESH GROUND ALL WEEKEND
I’ll have an excavator on-site opening fresh material throughout the event, giving everyone new areas to search and fresh hard rock to work.
There will also be tailing piles (dump piles) lined up specifically for Clubhouse members, giving you plenty of opportunities to find beautiful Herkimer Diamonds right on the surface.
If we get a little rain beforehand… even better! Wet conditions often make those crystal faces sparkle, making surface finds even easier to spot.
⛏️ DIG YOUR WAY
Whether you enjoy easy collecting or challenging hard-rock digging, this event has something for you.
Bring your favorite hard-rock tools if you’d like to break into solid rock, or spend the day searching the fresh tailing piles and newly excavated material.
No matter how you like to hunt, there will be plenty of fresh ground waiting.
💎 KEEP EVERYTHING YOU FIND
Every Herkimer Diamond you find is yours to keep.
No limits. No sorting. No extra fees.
If you find it, it’s yours!
⚠️ AGE REQUIREMENT
This event is strictly for ages 18 and older.
Due to the use of large excavation equipment and active machinery throughout the dig, no one under 18 years old will be permitted on the property.
We appreciate everyone’s understanding as safety is our highest priority.
