Definetly a life list. I gotta go

Nice finds, Anthony!

Nice roadside finds! What easy-pickings! I would have taken so much home! I like the finds, but not so much the music. 😊

When I win the lottery I’m gonna get that quarry that the chalcopyrite comes from 😂

عندي حجر تتوهج في اليل با للون الأخضر هل لها قمية ؟

Have you been to Mohawk before this trip? I think it's overrated and over priced... I've been there several times and haven't really found much. Occasionally, some people do pretty well, but it's mostly a guessing game. For the rookies, this is my methodology: Find a wall/location with plenty of vugs (voids/cavities in the rock) that's filled with hydrocarbon (black specs within the void), and that's weathered enough to break apart. Find fractures in the bedrock to embed a wedge, use the wedge and a sledge to increase the size of the fracture, use a prybar to eventually remove the rock from the wall, then break apart the removed rock until not much is remaining. This methodology works really well for me... If I had to rank my favorite places (best to least favorite): Dirty Diamond Diggers (incredibly easy to find large, weathered crystals), Crystal Grove (cheapest of all the other options, with a weathered wall to work on), Mohawk Valley Mineral Mine (can occasionally do well with plenty of locations to mine... Guessing game and expensive), Diamond Mountain (mainly smaller crystals and as expensive as Mohawk), Ace of Diamonds (no longer in business)... I've been to all of these places. A $100 entrance fee for all locations except DDD isn't worth it.

How many times digging did it take for you to find an enhydro? :)

I’m impressed with the uv calcite

Thanks so much for this video! I've been looking for a video on cleaning up/removing gems from the matrix they're in. And coincidentally garnets are the exact stone that I'm dealing with ATM!

There are commercial mines in Indian River County and Brevard County pulling up tonnes of calcite material. You can buy truckloads and sort through it and find some good stuff.

The schist really takes a great polish too. It's so amazing you're in Elmore county.. I have polished the garnet too.. Now I'm going back to make a video 🤣...you really did a great job of making it look so beautiful.

WOW! I live here..well, I've been going there all my life...

NEW 397 I am Ron O , nice vidio , looks like a lot of famly fun.

I live in Alabama and would love to go look for the crystalized petrified wood... I know the city, but I don't know where I can look without trespassing on private property... Please help me if you can... Thank you for the video... I really appreciate it

It's all part of the hunt!!! The good and the bad, but each trip = learning experiences!! Keep up the great work and the videos!! Thank you! 😊

LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Some days are better than other digs. That's how it goes sometimes. Got to be patient for that sweet score.

looks like you were able to find a couple of really great herks! thanks for showing everything !

Let's go

Bummer. Better luck on your next adventure❣️

Beautiful pieces you guys found. Thanks for sharing. 🌞

I love druzy crystals! You got some pretty ones!

Thanks for showing us the hunt, even if the results are disappointing.

Thanks for the video and the honest review...I have been wanting to try this place and Dirty Diamond Diggers as well. It's nice to see a little more of the location and what us average folks can expect to get out of there with a hard day's work. With my family dynamic, I doubt I would be able to make it up there for at least a couple of years, so hopefully it'll still be producing at that point. Thanks again for the video!!

After digging up there For a week. i now plan on adding wedges, 6 foot bars and short handled heavy sledges

Let's go!!

Thanks for sharing this awesomeness

Wow absolutely amazing brother 👏👏👏

I have a calcite mine

Excellent spot and finds! You got some fantastic specimens!

Awesome of the owner to open things up! Rock on

Yeah I think that's red barite. It's really confusing to me because it looks so similar to the limonite after marcasite that you find a little further south around Potosi.

Great video, Anthony! I have yet to go hounding for geodes, so this looks like a fun place. I don't recall you saying it in the video, but where is Vicker's located? I find a lot of duds in my rockhounding experiences too.

Love it!!!

Love me some geodes!!

What about the peace river or Hillsborough river

Let's GO!!! I usually watch your videos as soon as I see a new one, but this one slipped by. Thanks for the videos Anthony! Maybe I'll win and I can ask you about that druzy wood spot in Alabama 😀

Let's get it! LETS GO!!!

DuuUUuudeee...you got some NICE finds on that trip! I'm loving those blue druzy vugs you found, and everything else, too!

Thanks for the video, Anthony! I have only ever done the $25 dig at Twin Creek, and didn't make a video of it, unfortunately. I have been wanting to get back there and try a $300 pocket and see how it goes, so I really appreciate you sharing what it's like. Yeah, that seems a little like a tease about the veins being 20 feet high that you have access to, but can't really work it because it's like a cliff verses a slope that's easy to climb to work the material. Thanks again, my friend!!

Not crinoids. Acrocyathus fossil coral. It's similar (a little older) than the coral that are the potoski stones.

Hey they are a rare score but Union road agates are found in the same area as that type of fossil coral in chert.

Looks like you got some amazing specimens! What a variety of great finds!

Very nice finds. How fun!

nice specimens

I'm dying To go here!!!!

Let's GooOOOoooOOOoooo!!!! Don't enter me in the he contest, but I would still love a chance to dig with you one day! Next time you're coming to AR, let me know. If it works out in my schedule, I'll do what I can to make it. This is a great idea and a fun opportunity...thanks for giving back!!

That’s a place I dream of going for sure

My favorite thing to do looking for rocks

Lets goooo! We met one of the times you were at Rucks Pit- love seeing the channel grow!
