| Garnets |
There is a garnet mine in Brookfield, CT called Green Farms Garnet Mine. It's on private property but the mine is open to the public for $5 per car, left under the doormat. You walk past the homeowners garage through a little trail and then you are on top of the mine. Garnet is found all over, in and out of these rocks. You can find them on the trails and it doesn't take but a minute until you find your first garnet. All you need are safety glasses, a hammer and a pick or chisel. Larger garnets are found in the harder rock which requires some professional tools to extract. But smaller garnets are found all over in softer rock that you can chip away at with a hammer or even pull off with your fingers.
