@@BigfootProtectionAgency ha! Yes, it’s a play on the Herkimer…Arkansas does it with the Arkimer, so I thought it would be funny to try it for Missouri since there are double terminated quartz crystals to be found in southwest Missouri. 👍

@@huntingrocks thank you! Yeah, that was the second time that I’ve bought one of their baskets, and was very happy with them both times. Most of the stuff you get from their tailings piles has a little damage or can be milky, so it’s ice getting material out that’s straight from the pockets, and is water clear, for the most part. Really high quality stuff!

You spend your child's whole upbringing telling them not to do something, then your child grows up and turns out just like you and handles things they shouldn't. The dad in me told him to not do this anymore, and equally, the dad in me is proud of him, too. Either way, I thought that I would share so hopefully people won't instinctively kill them but see them as something that can be harmless if it feels safe. 👍

Happy belated birthday! Hi! I found your content researching digs in the Hot Springs area for a visit I have planned in early November. I have two days I can dedicate to playing in the dirt. What would be your top 2 recommended sites to go to? This will be my first trip to the area. I’ve done some digs in the past in Arizona but that’s a bit different in geography and geological material. I initially thought I’d do Crater of diamonds and Ron Coleman mine but I think the effort and time for my first time in the area would be better spent at Ron Coleman? And something other than Crater of Diamonds? Thank you for any guidance you can give.
