[@rixtrix11]

Cool finding all these stones, gems etc lying on the ground. Thanks for sharing!

[@paleocat6354]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: That's part of my old haunts...I've cried those tears...still have some! Still have a couple of gemmy garnets in situ. Thank you for letting me revisit a beloved rockhounding and meditation spot.

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

Ok, you are a true Rock Hound!! Oww , oh look obsidian!! Ow, ow, oh another obsidian!!! Love it!!

[@cherieducotebreaux3804]

I’m a jewelry maker and I like working with Obsidian and other natural stones! Thanks for sharing. This was interesting

[@jajphotog77]

From Google search: Step 1: Two tablespoons medium grit (150/220) per pound of rock and ceramics, enough water to cover the rocks. For tumbling whole Apache tears, run four or five days. ... Step 3: Two tablespoons of TXP or #61 Rapid Polish per pound of rock and ceramic, enough water to cover the rocks, tumble for seven days

[@joelwilbanks1165]

I just started watching but your title says slipping off the mountains. I have learned a lot from you and really enjoy your content, be safe so I can continue to watch and follow you.

[@rockhoundhunter6973]

I would love to have them for my 9 grandchildren that love to follow pawpaw around rockhounding. Please stay safe my friend and I hope you have a blessed evening. Thank you for the videos.

[@bonniewinkler5825]

I just started learning about different rocks and find it so fascinating. Please keep your great finds coming!

[@faybrunk5181]

Your a true rockhound when you fall, hurt yourself and keep looking for rocks. Love your videos so please be careful and stay hydrated.

[@ArcsandAlloysLLC]

Thats some cool footage. Now thats something that i could get into.

[@sondraread]

Right on! Glad I found your video!! This is my home!! My stomping grounds you could say! 30 years ago it was much differen. I'd be telling y'all kind of stories and history about the land. My mom you would take us picnicking, on Ruby mountain. This was before that house was built.... You could dig on that westside.... GOOD TIMES ⛏️ STILL GO THERE TODAY!!!

[@lauriecarlucci9011]

1st I wanna say please stay safe my heart went and skipped a beat when I saw you fall thank God you're OK. I enjoyed watching you today on this video and the view through your Cameron's was gorgeous. I love also the cactus that bloomed the yellow flowers. Please stay well and watch your step I really love your videos and would not want to see something bad happen to you thank you again for sharing.

[@mariapark2374]

Gorgeous sky, steep mountains, a rock hound, what's not to like? Thanks for sharing your adventure Jason! ❣️

[@lydiabiggs6920]

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful videos! I love how adventurous you are and encouraging to all who watch. Even a tiny gemstone is a huge treat to find.

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support

[@lydiabiggs6920]

No, Thank you for sharing your excursions with the world. I love this stuff, I get so excited when you find any gem, whether it’s worth millions of dollars or just a penny. It’s all so good for me to watch your videos. How long have you been posting? Keep up the great work!

[@alesiaw4364]

Nice video...great finds!....Lol at 41:25 I started hearing a cricket. I kept pausing the video waiting to hear it chirp so I could find It and let it out the house.. It wouldn't so I'd un-pause the video and instantly hear it again. . Well, I laughed really hard at myself when after 3 times I finally realized its crickets in the video. OM Goodness. I really need to get outdoors more often!

[@davetaylor7322]

Another nice day out in Nature. Except for the slip. Thanks for the video.

[@noellewinters4693]

[@tammyhargis7954]

You find the most beautiful places, I am glad you are ok!

[@eddieh1731]

Ow ow ow! Oooooh look! Obsidian. That reminded me of a crying child who suddenly sees candy. Lol

[@BrianneLasalle]

I would love to go there one day. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@michellepernula872]

Looks like a bunch of garnet crystals forms on that. Awesome.

[@amberfolly957]

You’re the best mine on KZbin! Glad you keep it real, unlike some other KZbin channels.who wants to be lied to? I don’t. Thanks DMI for being real.

[@bltbree]

As one that suffers from anxiety and depression I sure could use those. I have no clue that some gems other that crystals help led with certain unseen illnesses. I Have Multiple Sclerosis and people just look at me my is she parking in handicap. If they only knew. You be careful out there. I was waiting for a rattler to show up. I just found the link for patrons. Last night. I will join next month.

[@liliagonzalez599]

Yes! Its amazing!

[@Randers654]

I have started collecting crystals for the same reason.... trying to learn how they can help.... let me know if they work for you or what you found that does! Just getting out has to be a big help and watching videos like this are inspiring ...

[@michelepratt4384]

I lived very close to there I Salida, but physically couldn’t hike up far enough. Really miss rock hounding. I enjoy your videos so much , feels like I there!

[@michelepratt4384]

True rock hound, picking up rocks as you set hurt.

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Me too! These wonderful KZbin rockhounds' videos helps me smell, taste, feel, and relive good times! 👍

[@michellemacdonald6868]

Thank you for the videos. Keep them coming. And welcome to colorful Colorado.

[@elsiewalton2774]

You find some really neat things , I love watching and wondering what you will find next

[@laurat5143]

Amazing finds. Thank you for your time and sharing with other's 😊.

[@nancyhainline2517]

Went to Topaz Mtn in Utah in July '18 byself. Was 76 yrs old. Had no idea how/where to look. Didn't see another soul. Big tilted rock slabs coated with loose grit. Went up, but nearly didn't get down. Heat was... bad. Finally decided I was stupid and was leaving and saw a sparkle in the road. Stopped to see and it was a tiny topaz. Yea. Would like to go again, but not alone. Congrats on your Apache tears hunt. Glad you didn't roll down the mtn.

[@firechicken455adventures]

Fun watching your adventures. They give me ideas for my own. Thanks for sharing.

[@crystalcrutchfield24]

Ive never subscribed to any of these channels this the first but i watch a lot of the crater of diamond videos to so hope I get lucky!

[@markzinzilieta8927]

Wow what great finds. Such a great specimen area.

[@bobbimorris1819]

Thanks for taking us along. Beautiful finds! Glad you didn’t have to deal with a mountain lion! 😳

[@rockymountainlifeprospecti4423]

Glad you made it back ok,definitely some big cats around! Nice you had some good results! Thanks for the video! Liked, shared and already subscribed!

[@bradleyott3117]

I’m going to try to make it there soon hopefully, that is if I make it to Colorado soon. It’s been a year.

[@devinbryne9208]

I love Ruby mountain, such a fun place. I was collecting obsidian in that exact same spot on the mountain 2 weeks ago. Didn't have time to head to the top for the garnets but I'll get there next time.

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Oh cool! Thanks for watching

[@devinbryne9208]

@@DiamondMinerIvins Thank you for the content!

[@lilliepearl91]

[@ronnietatum4627]

That mountain looks like fun. That altitude will get to ya. Hope to see some of you finds in the give always.

[@WildBill86]

Glad you weren't hurt! Awesome video man!

[@ginajust-me2445]

Those are just super cool looking, I've got lots of Obsidian that I got from Arizona when I did allot of rockhounding out there, but these ones you find are quite cool.

[@kmann0027]

I have found many full animal skeletons in the valleys type areas around the mountain, pretty freaky !

[@liliagonzalez599]

Use your pick hammer-/pick-ax on construction workers belt, some pants have a little loop on them too . Some people use two of them at the same time to climb a steep mountain.

[@beckyhuffman]

I’m glad you didn’t fall off the mountain. But I was really hoping you would find some topaz since thats my birthstone. Take care. Catch you on the next one.

[@jaygree2700]

Keep dropping these awesome videos. My grandma loves apache tears!! Would truly be a amazing gift 2 give her.

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

[@philiphinkle4280]

good finds! keep up the good work.. those could be clam or muscle fossils I used to live in Buena Vista not to far from Salida .. so yeah you'll find sea fossils up there..

[@Sleepyjew]

Haha another awesome fun and funny video man! Hope your ankle is well! I beefed it hard yesterday looking for pyrite and I've got a bruised leg and bum, and the way you slipped in this vid is the same way I did yesterday! Stay safe friend! PS loving the longer length video!

[@lydiabiggs6920]

Try not to trip over those big black ants, man!! I’m so sorry you had that fall! As soon as you fell, I hollered out loud “OUCH!!!” I hope you are okay?

[@ShinyNix86]

Love the vid as always! Be safe so you can keep making more! 😁 Hopefully will be ordering from your store soon. Kiddos are begging us to order some bags for us to search through & practice with. Looking forward to the next video!! ❤

[@amiestorch8577]

Where is this Ruby Mountain? I know theres a Ruby mountain in NV and another in CO..

[@markzinzilieta8927]

Love the pictures of the Rams moving around too !

[@memoryrinehart]

"Is that a mountain lion?" " I saw a big cat." Lol. Yip- you are a cool cucumber.

[@nicolefaris1812]

I heard that there was a giveaway with you and Josh Bartley! Love both of your channels.

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Yes everyone that comments on my latest video will be entered in a GAW. It’s kinda a secret GAW 🤫

[@ShortbowSB1]

I hope to make it out to CO in August. Plan on doing a little panning and hopefully hit up ruby mountain. Very crazy story! The history we uncover amazes me!!!!

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

awesome! Good luck 🍀

[@davidmurray9844]

Awesome adventure thank you for sharing.

[@sandraezelle2696]

Love your videos. Hopefully I will get back to crater of Diamonds soon so I can use some of the information on your other videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@Bv3017rocket]

Always enjoy the adventures you go on. It seems like I'm right there with you. Really wish I was...some day mayby

[@jimpeuster8096]

Enjoyed your video. Learned a lot. Thank you for sharing

[@willadeanvorisek813]

I like watching you find those gems

[@vakakeyma]

Thanks a lot!

Bucket list destination.

[@genesmothers470]

Awesome findings, We always enjoy your adventures!

[@bryantross6125]

I am glad you did not die.

[@wille5080]

The garnets and obsidian nodules are cool, but the hidden area of almost neon pink tuff breccia on the north side was always my favorite.

[@ttehan1]

Outstanding video, thanks for sharing.

[@barrymorgan3383]

I have to be one of the longest existing patreons here (well past a year) to never have been the lucky recipient of a drawing. Is this finally it???

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Almost there are two ahead of you! I thought you’ve won before on Patrons? Maybe it was a number game, Thanks for the long term support!!

[@johnandrew9501]

Got loads of obsidian! Glad you didn't die!!

[@russellharris5984]

Cool finds. Lov the group of shells. Have you ever been to Obsidian dome north of Mammoth Lakes CA?

[@pattimoore5729]

I used to go here as a child., I don’t know what happened to the Apache tears I collected (they may have been obsidian)

[@ladonnascheel4394]

So glad you didn’t slide all that way.

[@timothychack9276]

Wow. How awesome it must be to actually get out and experience something like this.

[@ashleyhickman422]

Love your channel. Love the new knowledge learned

[@macmcabee328]

I think the thing is to identify the mineral / chemical formula of the film or crust and then you can know what chemical or acid will work to remove it. JUST SAYING. Hey, I am a big fan in Missouri. Hope to meet you someday. Good luck. Mac

[@SuperKatheline]

I'm ready to get those obsidians!

[@sagegirvin3342]

Awesome videos! Love watching other people dig up gems ☺️

[@darrenswan728]

Nice pieces of obsidian would make a nice ring wildflowers are nice to

[@simonandrews8923]

Wish I lived in the states. Best we get way down south is jade and gold. Americans are so lucky to have this at there back door

[@donnamitchell7707]

Great finds today Jason. I'm so happy that you didn't fall down there. I hope you and your family have a wonderful 4th of July.

[@dba750]

Might have to get climbing gear and tie off to a tree to get the best areas

[@EllandrillNcrbane]

Glad you are ok.

[@andreakessler227]

I have samples of obsidian my father found in the mountains of California 70 years ago. They are not tiny like the ones you are finding but are about the size of a golf ball and very black and shiny inside. Any idea why the obsidian you are mining on Ruby Mountain are so small and mine are so much larger?

[@debbiemitchell6055]

Mammoth Mountain once over the summit the rest area/restrooms/picnic area you start finding HUGE BEAUTIFUL OBSIDIAN! Then the town of Walker there are Garnets everywhere the river spits them out too!

[@satoriivy175]

SSH- don’t tell them about the Rockhounding in Walker please.

[@Frosty_adventure]

Awesome video! Keep digging on!

[@Phoenix_Enterprises]

Haha, been a few decades and found some killer specimens of garnets. No topaz. Luck of the draw....more apache tears than I could count.

[@dylanb2302]

For the white film I think maybe try CLR calcium limescale rust works great on those

[@richgoff9737]
