Rivet Digging at Coleman's

The quality of the red clay is understated. All of your clothing, including shoes should be disposable. It will not wash out! Given that, the Coleman mine in Hot Springs Village is noted for the clarity of the crystals and the number of ghosts or phantoms that you find. The last time I was there a couple from Florida was next to me. They brought their SOB trailer and camped every year. The previous year, the wife found a perfectly clear 27-pound single crystal. I have yet to rival that, but have found some very nice stuff there.
