Mineral Talks LIVE - Episode 72 - Jeff Swanger; Owner/Operator, OceanView Mine, Pala, CA, USA

Welcome to the 72nd episode of Mineral Talks LIVE!!! In this episode we travel back to Southern California and head over to the Pala gem mining region. In this beautiful area in North San Diego County, we have the two major gem and mineral producing mines that have been consistently providing us with amazing new material over the years - the OceanView and the Pala Chief Mines.

Joining us for this exciting show is Mine Owner and Operator Mr. Jeff Swanger. Jeff has been a long-time fixture in the mineral world and he shares with us some history, photos and great stories behind the OceanView and Pala Chief Mines.

In this episode, we also talk about Jeff’s company DigForGems.com which is a pay-to-dig operation going on at the OceanView and Pala Chief Mines. So if you want to visit the mines, dig your own gems AND possibly do an underground tour, this is where you can do it all and more!!!

So join us now as we sit down and chat mines and mining with California’s own Jeff Swanger!!!
