I found some in Austin Texas. Several big ones. Had no way to haul it . it was behind a golf club across a creek. Austin is full of dinasour bones anf fossils.

[@gregp6148]

I can’t believe my eye! Those fossils are humongous!! Thanks for sharing! Love all your videos, can’t wait to see watch you do next!

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Thank you for watching, I’m glad your enjoyed it!

[@PingerProspecting]

Man DMI, that was a cool show. Those Ammonites were everywhere. I can't imagine what it must have been like when they were alive !!!!

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Right! I would hate to see how big people were back then! Lol Thank you for watching, I’m glad your enjoyed it!

[@BlGGESTBROTHER]

@@DiamondMinerIvins People weren't alive "back then". Ammonites went extinct millions of years before we evolved as a species.

[@coreyhunt3107]

I recognize where you are at in north texas . I've been to this creek many times and found many ammonites. I love the creek been up and down this creek sense I was a kid.

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

oh nice!! Thanks for watching the video 👍

[@ralphstarr9904]

CoreyHunt, where is this location? I want to teach my grandkids and this would be a great teaching experience. I’m coming from Dallas.

[@dannylowe8932]

I am green with envy LOL great video once more man I would love to find even one of those big ones for my collection I can't afford to buy one they charge to much for my fixed income you are so lucky to have a place like that to hunt. Peace and be kind to each other. cheers

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@laurat5143]

Hello! I loved watching this video. I enjoy them there amazing. I had gone camping with my daughter and found some foot prints of a bird or small dinosaur. I don't know what I did with the print now though. The area we were at was a lake shore resort outside NewYork. I even picked up some shell's.

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Very cool! Thank you so much for the support!

[@debbiemitchell6055]

How cool is this!! I've been so jealous about Canada having them, and wow these are unbelievable find's! Thank you so much!

Oh my gosh how beautiful they are even the imprints are cool. 💜

Thanks for taking the time to watch my video, aren’t they something!! Can’t wait to go back!

[@bingobaddies]

We get those too! My folks have thousands of them all over their property in North Texas near Decatur.

[@dragonslayer4heavensent234]

Would they allow an East Texan to come find one or two to bring home???

[@dalmatiangirl61]

In Texas, 70 degrees is a cold front, you should visit in August sometime!

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

I was born and raised in Texas. spent many hours in attics during the summer doing electrical work, also in corrugated box plants by a corrugator. lol

[@Str8Bidness]

The tube thing was made out of the same material as the grey shale so it must have been marine in origin. If it were chalky and crumbly and from the much higher layers I'd say Mastadon Tusk, but I saw no central ring in the end you showed.

[@LifeisBetterExploring]

Wow! Amazing to find these. Thanks for sharing!

V.G.V Prospecting thank you for the kind words! Thanks for watching the video I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@whittlesstone]

Thanks for showing your videos. I used to collect in Texas and this reminds me of what I am missing. One comment is that I wish you would have kept that ammonite (14 minutes in) intact in the matrix. I know it is hard to carry out but that was an amazing artistic piece. Also you lost the point of the keel that went out over the entrance of the ammonite - these are not common and would have been so nice to see intact. Great videos - thanks - Jack from whittlesstone.

[@DigginIt]

Nice job Man, Keep it up! Sweet finds. :) Good Luck & Happy Huntin' All! :)

[@jeffcarney5155]

Very nice finds

[@haroldpainter9841]

Love this video. You are.blessed,over to.have one.

[@frankedgar6694]

Just my opinion but when I can collect the fossil AND the impression it sits in, I always try to keep both parts. There’s nothing like picking up an ammonite from its resting place in the rock then being able to do that once both are on you shelf.

[@nancykennon310]

Was the long thing you found palm tree. Found similar on a creek in Crocket Texas where they were digging a pond. Cut it open and it. Was blackish inside. Check the next one you find and take it home and cut it. To bad you didnt take it home. Looked exactly like yours. It was around 9:13

[@BenzoGold79]

Killer video, I would have fun there. I'm thinking of lots of cool things to do with those. Need a big eye to put in that one with the hole. Make a yard serpent with few half rounds. 😁🍻

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Thanks Benzo Bonanza Mining&Prospecting it’s a lot of fun for sure! You have a good idea! Might do that to some of the Ammonites . Thanks for watching bud!

This is my friend’s KZbin, lots of us hunt in the area. Look at locations on the map near and around Paris Texas crossing the North Sulphur River. You can will find tons of fossils and points. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4e9o513qb-GicU

[@lindalewis5066]

Hi 🙋, first time viewer. I'm a fossil & geode/agate collector. Those ammonites are impressive! The biggest I've seen! I'd hurt my back carrying out all the one's I'd want to keep! Hint, the golden colored one's are usually hard to find. 9:20 Didn't get a good enough look. Do closer, slower camera views at all angles for answer's. You know you can use a Dremel grinder & sealant for the cracks to perfect your finds. Just sayin'. 🤷 You made me cringe when you said you were going to cut those ammonites! 😱

check out your store. awesome 👏

All the ammonites u have found can be repaired if the other parts are not missing look for round rocks they contain the good quality ammonites Look for other kind of fossils such as shark teeth or fish bones

[@kenrussell1093]

Was that a pay site you were on? When I was in Cub Scouts, my den mother took us out on their property to a dry, rocky creekbed where we found several, with one of them very large and complete. Since we were kids, we couldn't lift it, so we left it there. Now I have an eight year old son who is interested in learning about fossils and mining gemstones. We live just south of Dallas, so I know there are these types of fossils in the area. Now that it's getting cold and I don't have to worry so much about rattlers and copperheads, I am going to start taking him fossil hunting. I can't wait till he sees your video, hopefully this will get him off of Roblox and Fortnite!

[@kenrussell1093]

Is that a pay for access site you are on there?

Nice! I think these particular ammonites are around the Mosasaurs age. very rare and old! Thanks for watching !

[@lindyl1105]

I think Canada has ammoLite. Same animal but the colors come from a chemical reaction to the ammonite. Korite (company name) has the Canadian mines where the jewelry comes from. Beautiful pieces! You’re very lucky to own it!!! 🥰🥰🥰

What’s the best way to clean them? Been struggling to find a way

You are an amateur. You are leaving samples that you have destroyed that other people may treasure. You don’t come equipped. You leave your boots in the car you leave your hammer and tools in the car when you’re out looking for fossils. You’re not ready to be a fossil hunter.

Lmao! Funny, that place is off limits. Gathering at this spot will get you in prison. And your right I’m not a fossil hunter, I’m a diamond miner!
