Anyone and Everyone can find Crystals. Here is how!

This is the Hamilton Hill Mine site Public dig put on by Brian Majors, "The Crystal Collector" and Avant Mining. It was a 2 day dig with over 500 people attending and everyone found something with a few finding some GREAT quartz crystal treasures.
Huge thanks to @The Crystal Collector for inviting me out for this trip and @Avant Mining for hosting us at their amazing mine sites.

I really got reinspired watching the Arkansas trip. We live 40 minutes from the Herkimer Diamond Mine here in NYS. The last time I went was in 2002 with my then 12 year old son. We went several times and had a great time digging and hammering. I need to go back there again.

Hey Dan, I just watched a video of some claim jumpers at Pickerton. They had found about 14 oz of gold in one hot pocket. Just kidding, but you never know what is happening while the cat is away and the mice want to play.

[@bambibrosemer1597]

That's cool that he's opened it up to the public for a couple of days. That's going to help create a love for the crystals by so many more and hopefully more clients for his business as well.

[@christhompson4270]

Its nice to see all the stuff everybody else found , to be honest I dug all day and only found 1 bigger point and 2 or 3 small points. A lot of people were saying that the dirt didnt have much in it, but this video proves otherwise. Guess I shoulda kept digging ! Sure was cool seeing all the bigger youtubers out there ✌

Family and the love for humanity is everything.this mine is 300 miles away from me, I'm in Fort Worth Texas my half brother is in Arkansas. I'm going to save up some money and take my first vacation in my life to visit this mine. I'm a maintenance man for apartments for over 26 years. We are always on call and we are under paid. I never get too go anywhere. Many years ago I use to get too go hunting. But today I'm just a slave. I work 24 hour's a day and 7 day's a week for about 1,400 too 1,600 every two weeks. I do Ac, plumbing, painting, electrical, everything too keep a home running.

[@juliesczesny90]

Rock hunting with my sister and niece last July? Put me at the right place, to get her to the hospital, when she had an Aphasic stroke. Which in turn, enabled the EMTs to bypass the ER, straight into the Stroke Unit, 2 days later! My mom & Stepdad taught me how to Facet & Cab up to Sapphires. We went rock hunting together. Mom couldn't go with us, in the heat. But at least with KZbin, she can watch you and others do it!!

[@johnnybushman651]

Looked like a lot of fun Dan , when I retire in the next 12 months ,I Plan to get out and do the fun things you do. Just got into gold panning this last summer and found some along the Ohio river, just a little, but not enough to retire early 😔 Love watching your videos, it’s a blast , thanks so much.
