My 5 year old granddaughter loves her Paleo Pack! Every time she comes over, we sift through it little by little. She already found some really cool stuff. She especially likes to find the tiny shark teeth. Thank you ❤️

[@cmsjca]

PaloeCris - I got them, like them, sent you email to ask a few questions and show off my finds. Sadly you have not replied. Can you look for it? Is from cmi@ (rest kept out of public)

[@overtons3]

My son love the pack I got him last yr for his birthday. You have any suggestions on where we could go to find sharks teeth? We are coming down from Va to stay on the Rainbow River soon and wanted to take the kids digging.

[@PaleoCris]

VA is an excellent state, actually. The banks of the Potomac river are great for multiple different age shark teeth. Try googling “va cliffs shark teeth”, “Potomac river shark teeth” and other variations of those searches...if you read a bit, you can find specific spots to go. The Rainbow River can have shark teeth of Eocene age, but you’ll need to dive for them. Gainesville creeks (tributaries of Hogtown Creek) are excellent surface hunting places for smaller shark teeth. Do not dig there. The laws have recently changed (or been reinterpreted, to be more accurate) and they are cracking down on any digging in that county.

No two people on the planet look more like their names than Kyle and Cris.

[@julietaylor7297]

I lived in Florida for 58 years. Never did I ever find such wonderful treasures. Small Sharks teeth at Manasota Beach, but nothing else. You find such cool and fabulous fossils.

[@cindyheimdahl227]

Wild Iris!!! Beautiful

[@coltana5041]

Kyle's echoing screech was amazing and hilarious

[@HAPPYPUMPKN]

Nice to see THE A TEAM together again 👍

[@TheAdventurousRealtor]

I love that you show nature stuff too. It's so pretty.

[@kaylahtd4life]

I swear Wild Kyle is so funny I love when y'all film together always make me smile and laughed

[@melodyhart1331]

I love hearing you guys laugh,the skunk ape is probably watching you .

[@jasonc7823]

Glad to see theirs stuff to find in florida

[@dawnsmith7936]

Those pretty purple flowers i believe looked like Irises.

[@bonniegiebfried278]

Cool 😎 Florescent video of foliage

[@craftspagan]

Love the shots of the Blue Flag Iris. Nice native wild flower find.

[@kastah]

The flowers are called blue iris in Norway!! Lovely fossils. B E U T I FUL Sunset.

[@danellecox2588]

Old fashioned Iris!! Beautiful!! Along with the crystals!!!

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Beautiful opening. The flower is a wild day lily. Great shells...it would be hard to stop.

[@bonniegiebfried278]

Love wood iris, comes up every 7+ years and great finds

[@ineedanewname9595944]

I'm sorry for so many comments, but that sunset was lovely!❤

[@davidstoner7448]

Those Crystal formations you like, where the crystals radiate out.... that's called a spray crystal cluster. One of my favorites also. Especially Tourmaline spray clusters. The earth is Amazing. Give Wild Kyle a big high five for me. Cool video. Take it easy y'all.....💎🤙

[@kittylevee4662]

The flower is an iris‼️ 💜💙💚💛🧡❤

[@TheoKellison]

My gosh this looked like way too much fun! Love it when you guys collab! That calcite, those amazing big clam fossils! Just WOW! I would be losing my mind! incredible video as always!😄

[@maryoneill5070]

Great video. You guys crack me up. 34:08 the crystals look like a childs handprint. ✌❤😃🙏

[@r3244v]

Crazy, fun glowing rocks!

You two are hilarious! I’m sure Sasquatch is rolling his eyes and shaking his head right now 😂🤣

[@mellomelo119]

Allright you guys, lets do some more of these ones !!!!!!! Love it, and you kids are so having fun. It makes allof us wish we were there ! This was seriousely fun, if thats possible ! Love you both. and Derick too !

[@jessicamermaid2438]

I always love a Chris and Kyle video! You guys are so awesome together. Kyle with that pickaxe has all the finesse of a 4th Century Hun, though. LOL.😁

[@TiffYG2133]

A wild Derek has appeared!! Derek used Rock Throw - It's not very effective . . .

[@PaleoCris]

🤣

[@tjzambonischwartz]

That Hastalis tooth in matrix was a hell of a find.

[@AmyRach1979]

I love your enthusiasm. I laugh when I watch you because when you find amazing things you sound just like me😁 I live in Indiana right on the border of Michigan so I have ALOT of amazing places to go rock hounding

[@PaleoCris]

I’m glad you can understand the sometimes over the top enthusiasm. 🤣 You are definitely in a great location for rockhounding. I can’t wait to get back to Michigan later this year for more rockhounding.

[@AmyRach1979]

@@PaleoCris if you'd like you can find me on Facebook we do group hunts to some pretty cool places

[@Objective-Observer]

The Purple Flowers are Dutch Iris, which proabably means there was a home there at some point in time. They are a popular flower with florists. Cool adventure! Thanks for taking us along.

[@RocksForBrains]

Could they be blue flag iris? Those are native to FL.

[@Objective-Observer]

@@RocksForBrains I don't know, for certain. I'm not familiar with the Blue Flag Iris.

[@thatmeanpersononlineoffend9376]

14:51 Those are Iris flowers.

[@zazzerzuzu69]

OMG, you Kyle you crack me up!

Oh, I love it when people know their stuff ! ! !

[@barbymccain2436]

Great video! Love when you crazy guys get together and hear voices 😂

[@bobvonk4873]

I enjoy you and Kyle together so much. The fun you Guys have is nice. The UV stuff is really insane, hope you do more of them. Cant wait for your next adventure!

[@dawnsmith7936]

Great finds guy's! Loved watching ! Thank you, great video !

[@ms.michealhodge1243]

Love love love this video!!!😊

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Great video, I love hunting with uv lights. It’s like hunting on another planet lol. Super cool

[@chattanoogasports]

You guys are great. Keep the videos coming !! Thanks

[@brendadeason9456]

I agree that the small crystals are the prettiest. For me it is because you can see their individual structure and light. The two that formed in a fan pattern are unique, differing in structure from the other calcite.

[@loumarlow7295]

Thanks so much for sharing your nocturnal UV adventure!So beautiful! 🤣And fun as always!!

[@lovebiota286]

Loads of fun! Thanks!

[@carltonphelps8088]

Fun to watch and video.

[@jonathanmattson3640]

Like the glow. That was awsome. Gonna have to find some and try it

[@ineedanewname9595944]

Those purple flowers are beautiful!!!

[@SandMarcusJ]

Well this was a fun one to watch!

[@AngieDoesStuff]

All those crushed up pieces would look really pretty sealed up in a small jar filled with mineral oil. Y'all did good!

[@wilbondcajunrockhound5758]

thats some cool crystals , love that color , i thought you had found the skunk ape when you turned on the uv light but it was just kyle lol

[@dawnthemetaldetective3083]

Just look at the flowers!

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

You guys were having too much fun, you had me laughing all the way through! Those UV lights are amazing. I like those individual crystals!💖

[@tacklebox6331]

Love you videos. And want to say again how awesome the paleo packs are for anyone thinking about getting one i 100% recommend it!!

[@michaelboyle9889]

That was a weird trip you guys were on I was just waiting for a sasqautch to jump out great video guys 👍👍

[@gagemclaughlin8992]

The little ones in kyles hand look like tiny green kyber crystals

[@seashelltreasures6466]

Very neat!!! Reminds me with the UV light the green glow of Superman's weakness... kryptonite. Thanks for sharing

[@shinykazzadragon]

My watching, and my jaw fell open. I wish I had that kind of calcite stuff where I am...

[@JaneEllenMusic]

PaleoCris: "It's getting weird here, my friends!" KZbin channel: "More! More! More!" Awesome video, and so much fun. Hope you guys eventually got some food and some sleep. Can't wait to see the next one!

[@ineedanewname9595944]

Love wild kyle!!

[@brandonmyers4078]

Been waiting for another video 💪🏼

[@darkowloffroad]

Could you list the make/model of UV lights and other equipment you use? Please?

[@megankimber8772]

This was a GREAT show tonight. Love watching you and Kyle because your happiness and excitement is contagious! You make me smile. Interesting and EDUCATIONAL show tonight. Love also the red leaves that were UV exposed......Thanks, my lovely science nerds! Oh CRIS be sure to re-check your insta DMs from me from Xmas regarding the echinoids Im looking for! (Nudge nudge) Take care guys!

[@PaleoCris]

Will do Megan! I was actually thinking about that today. I have too much in the mental queue lately for some things not to slip out. I’ll check and reply soon. Thanks for watching the vid and commenting!

[@stacymcardle]

The passion you have for this is awesome!

[@deeanderson4440]

That was crazy amazing 😮 I loved seeing you guys playing with the UV lights out there. I had no idea the effects it would have on everything. Ii would love to see more like this. You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your enlightening adventure with us 😊

[@lynncooper1781]

Crystals it is,I'm finding lots of crystals on roads and backyard.Love those agates. Awesome video.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidraines2873]

Those are some great looking Chrystals. The flowers are irises known by different names wood, marsh and I’m sure others also. Great video guys y’all seem to feed off each other’s energy

[@patifagan6774]

Good work

[@Hey-Jo]

I’m digging the uv spooky crystal hunting. I do this on our beaches

[@triplexlcosplay1184]

Love watching you guys hunting. Just bought one of ur gravel packs, excited to pick through it

[@bigbensarrowheadchannel2739]

Yall are a blast! Love you and Wild Kyle's channel. Awesome finds as usual. Rock on brother! 🤙

[@lynelutz]

OMG....I am SOOO jealous of your night time digging!!! I wonder if there's anything to compare in Northern Michigan!?! They have the "Yooperlite" up in the Upper Peninsula.... Great job, guys!

[@KrisWood]

I think those are probably Iris cristata... which seems appropriate for PaleoCris... Iris Paleocristata!!

[@crystalminerrocks6122]

Great times... Great finds. Love that calcite. The small Gemmy ones are just as nice as the large pieces when you get the right ones!

[@xspacerose]

love the blacklight exploring!!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

I’m thinking Florida road trip January next year... I have one of these clams so cool! So many cool fossils in Florida! And... it’s warm!!! 😂

[@babypanda4174]

Nice!!! Keep it up sir😁

[@leonragsdale7439]

Chris ,That flower is called blue flag. Y'all always finding some awesome stuff!✌😁

[@joanneriley3899]

They are called iris in uk.

[@chrisbgifford7387]

They have the prettiest yellow gold color. Would love to find one myself. the small crystals that have broken away would make some beautiful jewelry. Could grind some up and add to paint pigment, would love to try that with a small amount to see how it would look in a wave painting in the foamy white caps!

[@albaugh1818]

The flower is a Dutch Iris. Love your work keep on rocking man !

[@jacobsamland7844]

Here i thought i was alone when i get geeked out finding a horde of calcite!( mostly honey and rootbeer calcite) Its fun hunting for it at night, but i also find lots of scorpions, which are also fun to chase!

[@lindalewis5066]

15:05 Those are Iris flower's. Break rock's along the sides in case of fossils... you know that. 😅 Beautiful sunset! Seeing those flowers under UV light makes me want to buy one! 🤩

[@wandacason1792]

Loving that I found your channel.

[@MissPennyhapenny]

Hi Chris, The flowers are Blue flag, Iris Virginica. It loves moist swampy areas so perfect for Florida. 😊 Btw, the flower you thought was opening was a finished one. Loving your finds too! 😍

[@khall999]

Such great adventures !!! Thank you 😊

[@lunakatt429]

Are the crystals worth money ? I love your videos and your finds , but I especially love the scenery .

[@savagesquirrel9828]

It’s the swamp dolls creeping up on you. Never, NEVER watch the doll scene from, “Barbarella!”

[@jasperscott5426]

Amazing you can find some keeper specimens in material for a road😊❗

[@michaelvarney.]

31:13 "Let me get that in my hand." "Oooh yeah..."

[@JordanR_479]

😂😂 I read that as I was watching that part lol!

[@veggiesarefruits]

A couple of your finds looked like they could be honey calcite, which are some of my favorite gems. Yummy yummy calcite!

[@Muonium1]

You boys are in love even if y'all don't know it yet! 🥰🤝🥰 Some really beautiful pieces here. Something of a mystery as to what's causing the fluor/phosphorescence though. Typically the activator element in fluorescent and phosphorescent calcite is manganese which gives an orange fluorescence under longwave 365nm UV such as used here, but so far as I can see no one really seems to know what causes green like you observe. Best guesses are organic contaminants (which make sense given that this is certainly a marine derived karstic calcite, confirmed by the shark tooth find), but another albeit remote possibility is uranium. I think it's unlikely but couldn't hurt to check it with a geiger counter. In any case, get yourself a shortwave UV light to check the pieces again, they will almost certainly fluoresce a different color AND phosphoresce a different and much longer lived color. For a real treat, source some liquid nitrogen from a welding supply to put some samples in and check the phosphorescence again while cold, the brilliance and increased lifetime will most assuredly be incredible.

[@jemzeldab7086]

You should download the Seek app- we use it to identify plants whenever we go rock hounding or hiking and it’s a lot of fun to build a collection. It can do animals too but we’ve found it’s more accurate with plants. It’s also saved us from picking up some crystals in a nettle bush!

[@silverymoon5516]

Great show! I believe the flower is an Iris.

[@TheAdventurousRealtor]

I "like" every video I watch of yours and Kyle's. And comment on most if not all lol Support the dream right!

[@PaleoCris]

I very much appreciate that!

[@Bahzing1]

By now you probably know those beautiful flowers are irises, and the one you thought was going to bloom actually had already bloomed...was going to seed.

[@elisartmind]

the flowers are Iris, the one you tought was starting to bloom is actually on the oposite a finished flower dying !

[@gracemccoy1970]

I want some of what you guys are smoking!

[@KellyScott11]

Those purple flowers are a type of dwarf iris. I had them in my pond bog!

[@katehall3015]

Those are Iris! I believe that one in particular is a Blue Iris.
