This is one of my favorite little weekend getaways to dig around for quartz crystal clusters and scepters. Long ago a massive glacier swept through this section of the central valley leaving large deposits of these crystals which now reside on farm land. 2 weekends out of the month this one section is opened and you are allowed to search areas in which the land owner has deposited piles of dirt. Here are some images of Hornitos and some samples of crystals found there.
