4am and being a man alone with a metal hook and a bucket in front of the most expensive stores in new york is definitely a reason to be paranoid

[@addicted367]

The cops need to leave him alone 😡

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

When I was in college, there was a jeweler who swept his sidewalks and vacuumed the cracks once a week. And he deposited the results in a separate account just for his vacation every year!!

[@comfeefort]

😆

[@jameskenney5623]

I love that you didn't answer the "how did it all get there" question and just told them that they clearly didn't watch the first few minutes of your original video and if they want to know that answer they can go back and rewatch it. That's the perfect response!

[@Klesh]

Exactly!!

[@RedHotMessResell]

Haha exactly. He literally said it’s because it’s in the Diamond district where people drop stuff and where the jewelry makers kick up some gold dust. And I mean I could see people dropping pieces of jewelry because maybe they gave a piece that needs fixing and on their way in a piece falls off it or something.

[@lisamanrique1770]

Gold does not just flake off and crumble if it's stepped on and kicked around. It's malleable. If an earring drops and is stepped on, it's going to squash the prongs or bend the post and maybe eventually work into a blob of mangled gold. But gold dust or the flour gold? It would take forever for a small bit of gold to be trampled into flour gold.

[@Klesh]

@@lisamanrique1770 This is correct, gold is malleable. And as I explain in the video I explain exactly why there is dust of gold

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

I always thought that the old miners bit gold nuggets with their teeth and if it left an imprint it was gold, but apparently it's the other way around?

[@kristineteall368]

The weird one you thought was cut strange, looks like an antique rose cut. Typically they're from late 18th to early 20th century and therfore more valuable to jewelers.

[@Klesh]

Oh awesome!

[@jamiewatkins4178]

Very informative thanks👍

[@jaratt85]

The funny part is that cleaning the sidewalks might actually be the only legal way of prospecting in New York. NY has a law that states that all minerals and precious metals found in the state (even on your property) belong to the state and you can not remove them.

[@tamispock3617]

That's terrible. What are you buying... land or air?

[@groyperfuhr4871]

@@tamispock3617 basically just buying permission to live there considering you don't own the physical rights to the earth. so renting but more expensive

[@foca2002]

In Brazil buying land only give you rights to build and everything above the ground, but others can have mineral rights on your property. Anything you find digging belongs to the government. Here we like to take the worst ideas from outside of Brazil and implement.

[@avamasquerade]

I'd rather spend my final moments smuggling all my discovered treasures to every corner of the developing world for the sole purpose of distributing them to random passersby than give a fraction of an infinitesimally tiny fraction to *any* government whatsoever. Catch meh, dare ya.

[@StonemanRocks]

Ya bet me! If i found gold on my property you think i would just give it to the state? Yer nutz! Im keeping 100% of that sht!

[@adamcook5358]

This is the real deal people. He’s been doing this stuff for years now! Legend!

[@Moonsauc3]

I also thought about maybe wearing a hi-vis vest while cleaning those cracks in New York. I don't think anyone would question you then. Awesome video man.

[@Astorath_the_Grim]

And a hard hat.

[@Nicolchu_]

I can only imagine what the jewellery store owners we're thinking while reviewing the security cam footage the next day.... Is this guy trying to dig his way under our shop or vacuum some jewels out through our letterbox 😁

[@myrandomthoughts9106]

I volunteer to lean on a shovel for the next one! I’ll even hold my thermos and doughnut, pass as a union crew for sure!

[@keegandelaney1535]

I concur! I've seen several "experiments" where people are granted access to "secure areas" just by having on a yellow "safety 🦺 vest"... We tend to just assume that person belongs wherever it may be.

[@StonemanRocks]

I thot the same thing!

[@md-eq9sj]

Use the gold and stones to make a ring. That would make a great video! Love your content 👍keep up the good work.

[@jonathanpurcell5425]

I always love watching your videos Klesh! I think it’s pretty cool how you got a better tester to prove that they were genuine diamonds. Keep up the great content!!!

[@Gospelmusiccovers]

I found your videos from that New York video and I’ve already gone down the rabbit hole To watch your past videos. So grateful to have found this channel I love what you do.

[@nunyabees4150]

You’re content is awesome! I’ve been a fan watching Dan hurd’s KZbin channel and learning about old school mining but living in the center of a huge city this appeals to me so much because it’s something I can literally just walk 2 blocks to the jewelry, coin, and pawn shops and still have an adventure without having to drive for miles and bring a lot of gear! Thanks a lot for the new hobby!

[@rickielee3264]

You answered that situation very well.I would suggest to all new viewers to watch your videos from the first episode forward to now.I did and learned that quality and integrity are extremely important to you,thank you for the work you do,and thanks for the hard work you do

[@keithbarlow9701]

Your responses at the beginning are great. The time you put into making quality content is definitely appreciated. You're good at this!

[@sparrowgodschild150]

Hi Shane. The 'street cleaning' thing is pretty cool. I really want to try it this summer. Thanks for the adventures! Love ya!

[@lefroy1]

WOW! Kudos to all your viewers who recommended you getting that new tester, and kudos to you for going ahead and getting one.. to discover your pouch of gemstones got a lot nicer. So happy for you 🤗

[@morpheusjohnson9347]

Seems the other tester worked quite well too. The new one is cool cause it speaks english and not beepish!

[@ScottishGoldHunter]

Nice vid Shane👍🏻 Was great to see you buy another tester and check them again! Really nice finds⛏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@juliesczesny90]

Yellow diamond looks old mine, rose cut. Congratulations! I've been cutting stones up to Sapphires, since a teenager, for fun & profit and yes - they fall everywhere. As of late, been eyeing a way to repair diamonds - but that takes more than diamond paste and the laps I do have.

[@Klesh]

Sounds great!

[@michaelchaney5909]

Pretty sure there’s other factors at play with their doubts. That’s not your fault. Great content.

[@podsaveengland]

It's absolutely amazing you actually found these. For a start I did believe you were just putting them in, but I guess stones do fall out, and with the foot fall, they have to drop out somewhere. Fair play to you mate for doing it. Seem these streets are paved with gold and gems after all. Great show BTW. Only seen two but you appear a decent bloke, which goes along way into watching others of yours. Keep it up bud 👊

[@Klesh]

Hey Pod Save England, thanks and yes I have lots of interesting (i hope) videos from around the world - even treasure hunting in the UK! I miss having your breakfasts !

[@insederec]

jeweler here - you would be astounded just how far and how fast diamonds will enter the shadow realm, I say all the time that 50% of your time as a jeweler is spent on your swept clean floor searching for stones you dropped

[@mikaellindqvist5599]

My engangementring lost its stone.. Even worse my fiancee lost her whole engangementring wich had a much bigger diamond in it than mine did.

[@brianblank9921]

Congrats on the video blowing up brother! I did enjoy the urban prospecting video. Thanks for going to all the effort to bring us that content.

[@firechicken455adventures]

Great videos Klesh. Keep them coming.

[@jamesdunlap8794]

Just started watching your vids but I enjoy content like this. Just doing something you enjoy and finding gems, keep it up!

[@MannyBlaaze]

You're great! I love how well you explain everything. I don't know anything at all and this is just really awesome.

[@fieldie]

Always gotta watch the whole video, right from the beginning to the very end, plus no skipping/FF through the video, doing all that really helps the KZbin algorithm!

[@tabethadavis107]

I found a big shiny CZ on a sidewalk crack in Columbia, SC, right in front of a bridal event I was attending with my engaged daughter. We enjoyed dreaming it was a diamond right up until the jeweler shot down our hopes when we had it checked. Fun memory! Love your style of urban rockhounding! 😅

[@briankrouch430]

Another awesome video Shane. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@tracybrightlitecraftyartis1178]

I totally believe in your findings. Its quite clear due to your knowledge and plain authentic moral person you seem to be! I love watching youlll

[@TheKeystoneChannel]

I just happened upon your channel, glad I did! I find this so interesting

[@TylerJadeye]

great stuff man. thanks for all you do sir. Look forward to the next one.

[@petezahman3914]

Fun fact, Rubies and Sapphire’s are both corundum. The only difference between a pink sapphire and a ruby is the color. Bright red corundum is a ruby, as the color lightens and hits a certain shade, it has now become a pink sapphire. Great video!

[@juliesczesny90]

I'm pretty sure he knew that 🤣 I've many alleged blue sapphires, which delighted me, in turning out to be purple sapphires, my favorite! Especially ones the color of deep Amethyst.

[@petezahman3914]

@@juliesczesny90 you’re probably right, but perhaps someone reading the comments might have been enlightened by that tidbit of info😉

[@lostcontrol1981]

I lost a tiny moissanite stone - about 1.5mm diameter - from an eternity band. I can see how they are so easy to lose - and they look like a grain of sand or rock outside. Good for you for taking the time to seek them out!

[@markhubbard9165]

Sir, you are a straight -up guy. I enjoy watching your vids because I know you won't go "bogus" on us unless you label it as parody (that was funny when you found $100 bills!). Keep fighting the good fight!

Have been watching for years and the sidewalk pickings were my favorites. I knew you were legit bc you're one of the honest and down to earth people on KZbin. You always tell it like it's. Maybe folks should go back and watch your older videos. BTW how is your garage/shop coming along? Congrats to all the winners. You're awesome, Shane. You da man ! 🤗💓

Love the video as always!

[@Willowtree82]

so happy to see you retest these

[@Angels4justice]

Loving this channel!

[@adopt_a_dog]

I wonder if the yellow one is an older diamond. When I had my grandmother's engagement ring appraised they explained that diamonds were cut differently back then. She was born in 1883 so I guess her ring was from the early 20th century

[@russellcunningham5050]

Love this video as always

I just ordered 5 bags of NYC Skudge! I can’t wait to see what I find 👍 Keep up all the great work!

There are always a few in every crowd. Great job on your videos!!👍😁

[@simplyintricate4160]

I'm so glad to see you bought a new diamond tester. I had the same tester and found it to be extremely unreliable, but I'm not the sort to go spam a video with "Omg those things suck your diamonds might be fake!!111!!!" since I assumed someone else already did. Can't wait to see more interesting content bring it in to play over the years.

[@sassyme6208]

That yellow one looks like it was cut for a pave setting. Super cool. Congrats to the winners!

Cool!! I was a lil disappointed the last vid cause I thought for sure, that one weird cut one was a diamond by how the off-color wasn't quite uniform. Glad that new tester worked out. 👍

[@alisadickson225]

I totally enjoy watching this video It has gave me a new hobby Thank you

[@DogzD4]

Hey man. Love your content. Your NYC suburban mining video was the first video that drew me to your channel. Love the Channel man. Keep up the great work! I currently live only about a half hour from NYC. I've been down to the diamond district in Manhattan before as well. Of course Manhattan is not the only place in the city where there is an abundance of gold shops and jewelry shops all on the same street. The logic that these guys cut and grind gold and jewelry and such, and drop the dust on the street outside the shops actually makes perfect sense. Obviously a build up over many years would be the only reason you'd be able to get so much back after panning through the materials. But I must commend you on thinking like that, it's pure genius! I would love to see more urban mining videos in the future. They are definitely some of my favorite videos. Maybe do something the same, but different next time. Like if you plan another trip to NYC again in the future. Instead of going back to Manhattan in the Diamond District. You should try a new area such as East Tremont in the Bronx. There is many gold and jewelry shops on certain parts of the strip and I'm sure many others in different areas. But anyways. Keep up the great work man! You've inspired me to take a crack at it myself someday. I might just hit up New York City and go panning for gold in the future. Thanks again!

[@RedHotMessResell]

I’d love to see you stock up a bunch of this stuff you find panning, cleaning sidewalks, and metal detecting and make a guitar out of it all. Like the colored pencil guitar and the jaw breaker guitar here on KZbin. It’d be cool to use coins, buttons, gold, gemstones, and set them in a layer of lacquer on top of some wood for the body of the guitar. I’m new to this channel though and maybe you have done something like this in the past and I just haven’t seen it yet. But still, I’m really enjoying your videos. I think your last viral video got suggested to me and I’ve been watching for a week or so solid.
