Thanks for watching and moonstone is awesome!

[@lindalarsen2157]

What a beautiful experience. It looked like hard work but so exciting to find the treasures!

[@WavyOnMobile]

This is my favorite place I've ever gone to dig. Some of my best stones have come from this location!

[@Rubyglass59-]

Nicole have you ever tried using a surf chair or a stadiun seat for when u want to sit on ground?some have arms and might offer you a little more stability . Just something to maybe look into. Might not work.. Love you guys!. I'm a rockhound which is how I found your channel last year. Keep on digging! ❤

[@jillcarlson8142]

Beautiful area you are in!

[@NicholetteBrian]

Right?! North Carolina is such a beautiful state to visit

[@RockHunterMark]

Thanks for sharing! I gotta get out there someday.

[@skorpian34]

It's fantastic you're able to get out and collect again. :) Some of those mines will have a gemcutter there and if you find something nice enough they'll cut it for you.

[@NicholetteBrian]

This one didn’t have one but we will cut some of our finds and some will be kept natural for jewelry!

[@victoriabroom2246]

What an amazing experience you both had. I look forward to next week’s video

[@kendaroberts5665]

Where is your puppy opal?

[@kathrynmilesfenton2755]

Loved this video! Great haul!!! I was actually wondering if by all the moving around and lifting you do while mining if it strengthens your core? I am so happy that you love doing this! My mom was a rock hound and we used to go out looking for treasures.

[@NicholetteBrian]

Yes it does strengthen my core! That’s one good aspect of it but I have to be careful not to sit too long and shift while mining so we have our own unique way of doing it 🫶🏼

[@kathrynmilesfenton2755]

@@NicholetteBrian You have a "work around" for a lot of things you have to do! Thank you both for your videos and taking us all along on your adventures!

[@jeniferp7435]

Which mine was this? Looks like a fun day My birthstone is ruby!

[@NicholetteBrian]

This is the Cherokee Ruby & sapphire mine near Franklin North Carolina!

[@jenniferw1595]

[@NicholetteBrian]
