I'm currently doing a trophy push for Crystal League, and I'm about 60ish trophies away from Crystal III, but I was wondering what the loot is like there and anything that might be good to know. Thanks!

A couple of days ago, I would have said the loot is fantastic, if you look hard. I'm TH8, and was farming for gold and elixer, and found a number of abandoned TH9 and TH10 with full collectors, so got 230-400k+ of each, for at least 4 raids in a row, I just had to hit Next about 50-100 times per raid. I did drop about 100 trophies, though, over about 10 raids.
Last night and this morning though, I wasn't farming but was cycling through a heck of a lot of bases, being very careful who I raided because I needed to up my trophies and stay in Crystal... and I saw no bases in this calibre... the closest I got, after about 100 bases this morning, was one neglected TH9, offering my all-flying army about 250k of each (and I did not get it all, as a two-star victory was more important to me than farming all the loot).
Certainly, at TH7, I beleive you face the possibility of finding some truly amazing loot in abandoned TH10 bases at Crystal... However, I haven't got enough firm evidence yet, to know if you can consistently find it in Crystal 3, or if like many things it comes and goes according to day of week, time of day, etc., or if I was just super lucky!
Last thing - the bases you do find there, with fantastic loot, are all there for a reason - they have been abandoned for some time and "raided up" i.e. people like you and me only farm about 30-40% of the base, get the loot but lose the trophies, so the base slowly but surely increases its trophy count. Ocasionally, you'll find a base that's just been left for a couple of days and so has good loot in collectors, but by far the majority of bases I've seen to date, only have much loot in their very well protected stores, which you'll find quite difficult to prise much out of with level 4 troops.
Good luck though, I can highly recommend it as a good fun thing to try!
If you are purely pushing to get trophies up finding good loot can be tough - as sometimes you have to turn a blind eye to good look as it would simply be too hard to 50% to get cups at the same time.
If possible save a heap of elixir before you push to make life easier up there.
At crystal i got my only 1 mill+ resource raid (i was also th 7). 500k gold, 530k elixer and like 3000 dark elixer. Sometimes the loot sucks, sometimes its good, bases that are hard to beat usually have alot of resources.. So many have 300k-400k of each but are almost impossible for a town hall 7 to get to. Without losing of course.
Might be a bit hard up there, lots of loot, but it wont be easy to get.
