Arbuckle mountains southern Ok here! Thanks for sharing man! Doing something more than me for sure so I'm not judging at all. I started rock hounding spring of 2024 and fell in love! And I always wanted to video my hounds but I'm not a good speaker and have bad accent so nobody would understand what I'm saying like Teeter on Yellowstone! Lol so hats off to you for doing it and sharing it! Thats a task in itself. I tried it once and on the first shot I dropped the camera so many times in the water too! So again I gave up lol hats off! I'm impressed with what all I can find in the short time been hounding. I'm tumbling them now and can't wait to see results! I found some beautiful stones!! Mainly chert/jasper/fossils/quartz/feldspar/flint/ a whole lot of granite and flint and whole lot less of gold specs lol keep hounding and keep sharing my friend peace ✌️ and love ❤

2 Lots of 30+ Double Terminated and Arkimer crystals available, along with Rose Rocks (clusters and singles), and some small phantom clusters. Here are the DT’s, the rose rocks and the small phantom clusters are surprises. 😊 $125 shipped anywhere in the US. Only 2 boxes available. All self collected. I’ll send an invoice through PayPal. Once payment is complete, I’ll send the package the next day with shipping info with expected arrival date. This is to fund a future rockhounding trip!! Thanks so much!! -Joe

@ the last weekend of March and the first two weekends of April I have shows that I am contracted for. So unfortunately I would miss you guys. Gah! You’ll get more immediate results and gratification from a crystal mine, but I do love the diamond mine, though I understand it isn’t for everyone. There are a lot of other neat rocks to be found there…everything from conglomerates and agates, to japers and volcanic tuff, to various types of lamproite, amethyst, etc.
