アメジスト発見‼【群馬県沼田市 戸神山（戸神鉱山）】水晶もいっぱい、水晶の露頭もあったぞ！

I was surprised to find such beautiful amethysts on a hiking trail! After about nine hours of exploration, I discovered the 12 entrances to the Togami mine and an outcrop containing crystals.

[Collection method] Collect from the surface using tailings or dig up boulders. If you break a large piece of quartz, you'll find quartz and other minerals inside. Quartz can also be found inside quartz and green stones. [Climbing route] I have provided a link to Yamappu at the bottom of this description, so it is convenient to search for the climbing route of Mt. Togami using the Yamappu or Yamareco app. [Collection and observation points] I have also written the coordinates of each point at the bottom of the description, so please bookmark the coordinates in advance on Google Maps, or use a GPS app such as Yamappu, Yamappu, or Maproid. [Access] Only by car, no buses. To get to the trailhead below Kokuzo Bosatsudo on Mt. Togami by car, it is a 20-minute (14km) drive from Numata Interchange on the Kan'etsu Expressway. By the way, there is a Togamicho bus stop at the foot of the mountain, but it only runs once a day and is not suitable for climbing hours, so it cannot be used. [Parking] *There is no parking at the trailhead this time. The parking lot in front of the trailhead is described as the trailhead parking lot on some blogs, but it is actually owned by the temple and parking is prohibited for anyone other than those involved. So please refrain from parking there if you are a climber. If you park here, please do so at your own risk. *Parking is strictly prohibited during the grave-visiting seasons of Obon, New Year's Eve, Higan, and Golden Week.

Leave the crystal outcrops untouched for future visitors. 4. If the mountain administrator is present, please follow his/her instructions. 5. The rocks are very dangerous, so please refrain from excessive activity. 6. If children are using hammers, please wear gloves and goggles if possible. ===================================== [Each coordinate] There may be some error in these coordinates, so please use these coordinates as a guide to find the locations shown in the video. ===== From the trailhead to the mine ruins direct course ===== ▲ Trailhead Google Maps: https://x.gd/Ozh65 36.675676847362496, 139.05511778260416 ▲Many animal sculptures 36.677635,139.05539 ▲Shortcut entrance on the way to the direct course 36.6787336,139.0534651　 ▲The junction between the direct course and the forest road course 36.6792672,139.0535554 ▲Twelve-sacred shrine 36.679799,139.05358 ▲White sign at the site of the mine on the direct course 36.67986388888889,139.0538638888889 ▲The site of the mine on the direct course Plateau (collection location) 36.6800371,139.0538424 ▲Entrance to the 4-way tunnel on the plateau on the direct route 36.68010711669922,139.05410766601562 ▲The lowest tunnel entrance on the same route 36.680362701416016,139.0540771484375 ▲Entrance to the 5th tunnel entrance on the direct route 36.68045425415039,139.054443359375 ▲The 5th tunnel entrance on the same route 36.680716,139.054481 ===== From the West Ridge Course to the summit ===== ▲First mine site on the West Ridge Course 36.6804292,139.0534108 ▲Second mine site on the West Ridge Course (Plateau where amethyst was found) 36.6812932,139.0531213 ▲Crystal outcrop on the west side of the plateau on the West Ridge Course 36.6814079284668 ,139.05238342285156 ▲Natural cave on the West Ridge Course 36.68153762817383,139.05320739746094 ▲Confluence of the ridges on the West Ridge Course 36.682179,139.0536156 ▲Togamiyama Peak 36.6820864,139.0552986 ===== Descending the forest road from the peak ===== ▲Signboard showing 5 minutes to the summit...
