​@@MushroomMagpie the rules are actually "mineral collecting and ground disturbance" are only allowed inside of the marked boundary areas. The same goes for neighboring Lord Hill which is also great for prospecting and directly next to this location deerhill. They are both on each other's Maps. They really don't care if you're digging or just walking around picking up off the surface, they don't want you to do it unless you're in the designated area. Better to follow the rules then work in the not allowed rules for the better of everyone involved now and in the future. All of us collectors guarantee there are better specimens in the not allowed areas but we don't go there. Same goes for private property. If you see something amazing leave it unless you have permission to take it

I lived and mined in Maine for 14 years. I did go to Deer Hill once, but did not find much. In all, I visited 12 mines during my time in Maine. We spent most of our time at the Newry and Mount Mica Mines. We went to the Bennett Quary, the Harvard Quarry, and a bunch more that I can't remember. One funny thing that happened is that we had friends who lived in Georgetown which is where the pegmatite band that goes through Maine and into New Hampshire ends, and we visited there for a weekend. The next morning, I got up and went for a walk on the road, and I started finding black tourmalines, aquamarines and a bunch of other stuff. I thought "wow" these people built their house on a gold mine! As it turns out, there is a quarry right at the edge of the water, and we found out how to get there. We went the next weekend, but didn't find anything. I really wanted to walk on the private roads of the people who lived around there because there are probably a bunch of great minerals in their roads!

Matrix is so lucky.
