| DIAMOND HILL LLC The Diamond Hill, LLC, (DH LLC) owns the Diamond Hill quartz digging area (the "Property") near the town of Antreville in Abbeville County, South Carolina. With prior permission, visitors are allowed to enter the Property and search/dig for rocks and crystals.

Anyone on the Property without proper permission will be subject to arrest and prosecution. 3. You may search for and keep crystals and mineral specimens that you find on the ground surface, or that you dig for. You may dig with hand tools only, such as shovel, pick, hammer, chisel, etc. Not allowed are power tools such as jackhammer, or motorized equipment such as backhoe or bulldozer. 4. Searching and digging for crystals is inherently dangerous. Always take care with your activities, and realize that the DH LLC does not assume liability for any occurrences on the Property. 5. Keep the Property
clean.
Always remove all of your litter. And remove other litter,
too.
When your visit is complete, you should leave the Property as clean as,
or cleaner than, it was when you arrived. 6. Visitors to the Diamond Hill Property should not enter the private property on the opposite side of Diamond Mine Road for any reason! 7. Report any problems immediately to the DH LLC. Problems include such things as: (a) a large amount of pre-existing litter on the Property; (b) presence of unauthorized people on the Property; (c) use of equipment other than hand-tools; (d) any activity that could pose a risk to the safety and health of others; (e) anything else that could conceivably jeopardize keeping the Property open, or that could jeopardize your group from being permitted to return to the Property. 8. If any individual is performing an unlawful or dangerous activity which poses an imminent danger to the health and safety of others, contact law enforcement immediately. 9. If a scheduled visit to the Property must be canceled (because of, for example, bad weather, sickness, etc.), no fees can be refunded, but an alternative date for the visit can be scheduled. If you know that your planned visit will not occur, contact the DH LLC as soon as possible to make alternate arrangements. | |
