Field CollectingDiopside at the Pickering Valley Golf Course

Does anyone have experience in this location and is able to clear this up for me? It was a 2 1/2 hour drive and I would be willing to return if I can come home with some fine thumbnails or better...
Thank you!!

One location is near the stack that you speak of. the other is off the end of hole 13 in the woods. This location requires a lot of digging. If you let me know when you are in the area, I would be happy to show you around . The are many spots to collect on the property!

I have found many large Quartz points and all the typical lead minerals of theses locations. As far as Diopside goes, there haven't ever been any reported finds of that mineral there as far as I know. Because this location is very old and has been collected for over a century, good finds take a bit of digging.
