Digging Crystals & Gems in Canada & Getting Attacked by Bugs!

Digging Apatite crystals!
OPEN TO PUBLIC LOCATION!!!

Some really cool and unusually crystals were found, check out the entire video to watch all that is unearthed!!

[@dianeprestage9643]

I love crystal. I have never gone digging for them. I would love to try.

[@dillonmech7206]

Hi this is Mr. Mac Skeeter, thanks for coming by and feeding us, we had the BIGGEST appetite of all!

[@cookiecat3426]

When you find something you love and get excited about, i get excited to so keep going and finding some crystals!

[@saffron1996]

*"Welp... im gonna crawl outta this hole"* me after my first retail job...

Janiel Vylet Agatha Machura thanks so much, I look forward to making more videos and spreading the love of rocks and nature around 🙌💎

[@davefiasconaro5681]

Janiel Vylet Agatha Machura Now we know where mosquitoes come from. Canada

[@mysteryguy793]

@Dave Flasconaro No. Those buggers are everywhere. Before you complain go to greece for a week. You'll be grateful that you have got to deal with so much less of them

You have a great personality to do these video’s, you make me laugh but also teach me stuff I did not know....THANKS

[@greenhornmineexploring141]

Wow! Awesome finds and crazy bugs!!

[@Triliton]

Love this video! Makes me even more inspired to search for minerals here in Norway.

[@jaym9529]

Wow on the jolly rancher one. Congrats. Looks like your having fun.

[@JayX7]

3:00 what an awesome find! The shine and colour is so nice

[@itsmedavidd]

I enjoyed the hell out of this video. It's simple but it helps me understand the concept of digging watching you work.

[@cypressesparza1453]

Awesome!! Sort of soothing in a way, not sure how. Totally subbing.

[@GeologyofGemsMinerals]

The titanite at about 3:00 is my favourite. Glad you had a good time up here!

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Geology of Gems & Minerals thanks, I didn't realize at first how nice of a piece it was, it was one of the first things I found on the trip!

Magnificent finds awesome adventure keep the videos coming

[@bunnyakers]

I just came across your channel...wow...I'm in love...what you do it just amazing! Can't stop watching! Wishing you all the luck!

[@CoinandRelicOntario]

Very nice Titanite! But there are bigger ones on Titanite hill! Great digs at the Miller property as well, nice apatites. Some large cluster of Titanite were found there too. Glad you had fun in Ontario!! Appears the bugs liked you as well! LOL!

[@AL_MUSWI]

I learned from you too much special how I see beauty at any stone thanks a lot man .

[@925inder2]

Great finds, congrats!

[@donnahumphriesallen5805]

I like the green ones the best. I always enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot about crystal hunting from watching you dig. Thanks for all you do. Love ya!✌️❤️

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Thanks for watching and the support 💎🙌💎🙌🙌💜💜💜

[@Jacob-fe2sw]

Been there! Lots of bugs for sure haha

[@k-vy5nt]

LUCKY!

[@sewdelights5773]

I love watching your adventure digging lot of stuff. From Philippines here. Hoping for more cool videos keep it up guys

[@cookiecat3426]

Ily crystal collecter and all ur crystals and the legend of zelda intro music!!

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

This was the first video of the Crystal Collector that I saw and started me watching. Your excitement shows just how much you love crystals Bryan, and its contagious lol. Its strange to see no Matrix but they are gorgeous crystals. I don't remember seeing the red crystals but that means I watched it again as if it was the first time lol. I had fun watching the crystals emerge from that hole, I dont think I would have got in there not that I was big when I was young but I dont like tiny spaces. I will try watching some more and wait for a new episode. Love and hugs my friend Mary-Ellen UK

[@lpgascon]

loved it man! great finds i have to head there asap!

[@CarolynDenison]

Next time you want to toss a stone away remember me... lol I'll take any you don't really want. I'm disabled and can't walk or stand. So I have no way to dig my own. God knows how I wish I could.I have a geode with crystal and aquamarine inside, some Amethyst, Quartz Crystals, Onyx, a baby Sapphire, and a tiny little Ruby. One that I have no idea what it is. It's quarts crystal, and looks like it's never been washed. Some of the crystals are orange others are clear or some have what looks like red sand inside the quartz. I have been studying about stones and all there names. I'm getting better at it every day. You Tube is a real good place for me to gin experience with all the varied types. My husband and I will take the tests on stones and when they show the rough stones I say what stone it is. and he tries to guess too. I only missed 3 on my last test. I think my getting old now may have something to do with not remembering 100%. I have been watching your channel almost every day. I subscribed and all that utube jazz. So get to posting, and I'lllet you know when I have finished your video dig's. Bye hon.

[@Xmiikkii3X]

Loving the way it looks embedded in the calcite

[@combellack1]

I see you missed the approximately 36-48 hr window in the spring between the weather getting nice and the hoard of bloodthirsty emerging. Nice to see the perspective of someone from outside the area checking out some of the deposits in this part of ontario as i think all to often we take them for granted. Thanks for posting

[@emmathomas5385]

Beautiful

[@shimmeronfoxclaw5549]

So happy to see a video!!!! 👌🏼

[@tmrider60]

The Appatite inside of the light pink Calcite is such a beautiful color combination!

[@Samseed]

I've been going up to that area my entire life. But I only started rockhounding last year. Thanks for the great video man! I love your show now, and it's amazing that you were up here. I have a couple videos on my own page of other locations you might find interesting. Amazing minerals everywhere in that area.

[@davidedgar2818]

Very nice giant biotite crystal 👍👍👍👍

[@mwoods6528]

Aaahhhhhh! Welcome to Canada friend!~ ❤

[@anggrekindonesia9098]

I like Kanada

[@anggrekindonesia9098]

Canada very nice

[@jeanneamato8278]

Spectacular!

[@collasan4730]

used to want to be a geologist or something like that because of things like this. Super cool what you do. Hope to see more vids, just saw like 5 of them jajaja and will eventually see them all.

[@keLLyGurL2303]

Thx for using the Mario Bros song....lol....memories....love it...Canada rovks!!! WHAT? Lol...awesome crystal finds...

[@meMiner]

You picked the worst year in a very long time for bugs up here. Normally, by now they are mostly burned off. I have been to that location many times, but still greatly enjoyed watching your adventure and I am pleased that you found some nice crystals.

[@brighthottstarr]

Looks like fun

[@CAMO-hb8wc]

Good Job Guys!

[@TheCrystalCollector]

How is the volume? Works ok on my phone but low on laptop

[@findlydesign]

The Crystal Collector sounds good! The level is a bit low but I just turned up my volume all the way. Great video! Looks like it was an exciting dig!

[@pickleboris1583]

Hi

[@blueiceshards3106]

The Crystal Collector the sounds pretty good

[@TONCHY-rw1sq]

The Crystal Collector have you gone to Washington near Seattle to mine

[@itsmedavidd]

Could be slightly higher but it's bearable.

[@wynweeardo0593]

I am so jealous,.. I wish I could go rockhounding and find some great specimens..

[@davidhubert3807]

Man those titanites are awesome! Would love one for the collection lol

[@TheCrystalCollector]

I sell everything I find on my eBay store, Google search ultra rocks eBay to locate it. But you can go out and dig these yourself if you can make it up to Canada!

[@typicalrockhound9887]

awesome video man , should make a return trip , those samples look wicked ! ive never found anything close to looking like that haha

[@vegetariangiovani2240]

Nice video. Thanks

[@Matty8x8]

Thank you so much for playing Saria’s Song at the beginning 😂

[@anggrekindonesia9098]

Wow nice

[@rockcrazygal5166]

Hey, I've collected here! Great spot eh!!!

[@gregoryjohnson7964]

man i like your videos your the coolist and you find some nice stuff

[@TheCrystalCollector]

🙌🙏

[@7XHARDER]

The more I watch this video the hungrier I keep getting, and now I hear something called an apetite crystal! Making more popcorn, keep up the great work!

[@Caver461]

Headed there tomorrow - I see you are tapping into some of my old diggings

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Caver461 sweet deal! Wish I was able to dig more there, it was an exciting trip!

[@akamillad431]

Caver461 where is this? I'm in Ontario Canada, :)

[@Caver461]

Gibson property near Tory Hill. He's got us saying Whaaat now - LOL

[@Caver461]

Sad to have missed you, both my rockhound partner and I are avid watchers of your channel. Wish we had quartz in Ontario like you find in the US.

[@warrenlightning8137]

Caver461 - Where are the crystals in Strathcona county AB canada

[@AngelAnimations]

Cool video dogging for gems looks fun mabey I will try once

[@AngelAnimations]

Digging*

[@brianstevens3858]

Usually just watch and like but had to comment, Still waiting to see the Bugs Digging for crystals.

[@Righthere39]

Where are all those flies coming from? So many… It’s amazing how you find (and your companions) so many different type crystals, gems, etc. Takes a lot of dedication and long hours and hard work but well worth it in the end.

[@mctron22rd]

I would love to dig in Canada!! Such a beautiful place! I love the natural world and the crystals that form. I would love to find the perfect rock from somewhere I love, i would have it faceted and wear it on my wedding ring and it would not matter if it is not precious.it would only.

[@Fox1nDen]

love to watch your videos. adding whaaaaauht? to my vocabulary LOL

[@malach8011]

DEUS !!!! A MINHA FAMÍLIA, a natureza, é tudo que eu quero para a minha VIDA !! é a felicidade PLENA !!

Omg I want to go crystal hunting 😎

[@florasastrealfaro90]

Es increibleeee!!! Jajajaja que forma dd scar

[@ImaginationHobbies]

oh my got that titanite is insane!!!

[@baileyallard85]

We ran into you in Quadeville at the Beryl mine. Are you coming back at all this year? Were heading up for our rock hounding trip this Saturday! Can't wait to get back up there.

[@cirquePERDIEM]

great video

[@RichardHubbuck]

I find this fascinating! It's amazing to see what's in the ground. However, I haven't seen any of your other videos, but just one question - do you ever put the land back to the way it was?

[@jeanneamato8278]

It would be great if sometime you could do some some lessons on how certain crystals are formed. You are great at teaching.

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Yes I am going to start talking about that more often in my videos about how they form and stuff

[@warrenlightning8137]

Where can I search for gems and chyrstals in the area outside of Edmonton Alberta Canada?

[@shannonlevo1433]

God bless Merry Christmas Happy New Year.

[@MN-xi1nb]

Absolutely addicted to your videos...feel like I am with you guys on your adventures... WHAAAT!!! Lol Think you can use your expertise in your field to make an app for rocks and crystals to help us identify when on diggings ...you get one for plants all you do is take a picture of the leave and it identify the plants and give you the name...this will be so super cool 👍⛏️💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

[@oliviacard5800]

That would have to include a lot of crazy mineral isotope dating techniques, and because color doesnt really help identify a mineral I almost think that would be impossible for a long time

[@MrAnthrocite]

if you are ever in maine you should come to my mine in Falmouth! nice quartz plates

[@resmas5658]

I love your Videos. Crystals are my passion too. Maybe you have heard about the “Grube Clara“ in Germany. I was there some weeks ago and found some very nice pieces.

[@davidedgar2818]

I've been in northern Canada fishing, the mosquitoes are miserable and the black flies will literally take chunks out of your skin. We used a bear grease repellent that stank like doo doo, but it worked very well. After about the 3rd day you didn't notice the stink so bad, everyone else was wearing it. I hear that there's a newer version available without stink. I know by experience that the original version worked very well.

[@NBornais]

Zelda - Love that song. Where abouts are you digging in ontario? know of any locations around eastern ontario?

[@proletariategg]

I love your dedication to Sarias song. lol

[@dinabolques6669]

Casey Gramz is that song from final fantasy?

[@stevebell6454]

turd mac version

[@proletariategg]

It's from Zelda

[@dinabolques6669]

Casey Gramz I knew I heard that song from a game I played when I was a kid ....thanks I was wondering about that song and I just couldn't remember where it was from

[@valeriecollins5284]

I'm new to your Channel and I really appreciate your videos and it's giving me a new hobby and when I go on vacation this would be some of the stuff I'll be doing and thank you so much

[@TheCrystalCollector]

That’s awesome! Thanks so much for watching and your support, I hope to bring out new videos especially for public locations for everyone to go and check out them selves

[@MrKraft-fg7dh]

Yore videos are getting better and better and I’m sure it’s just a question of time when you’re channel is going to explode As always I wish I could dig those stones to

[@abdelkrimlaagad]

very good

[@waynehennie1002]

May I ask how did you know about Titanite Hill in Ontario Canada ? and that Smart Mine ? Is there a publication that mentions these sort of places ?

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Wayne Hennie I was just asked to go up by some friends, not sure how they heard about it but a lot of the locals seem to know because there was a lot of people at both places

[@valiantwarrior4517]

Finding apatites AND appetites! Excellent! Seems like big appetites can be found almost everywhere. 😏 I grew up not far from Utah Lake. When the water was high, it would flood fields for miles and miles around. Talk about mosquito heaven. Fun fact: only female mosquitos suck blood. The males eat plant matter.

[@ashleypearce6090]

OMG this video makes my skin itchy. Haha

[@rockhunter6260]

Great finds guys. You didn't show any cleaned up Mica Books👍🏻

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Rockhunter62 was going to show some but forgot, mostly still uncleared, been too busy to clean 😅🙌🙌

[@dj_blitzt]

be carful in those trails guys bugs arent the only thing out there we get cougars and mountain lions as well as wolves i have run into all 3 so far in the years i lived in the area also be wary of toxic plants that will give you burns

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Oh wow, I didn’t even think about that, definitely would not want to get caught out there with a bunch of big cats 🐈!!!! 😳😳😳

Absolutely amazing!!!!! When can i go with you??? :)

[@SilentSaturn]

What part of Ontario were you in in this video?

[@amycuevas6007]

oh wow

[@heathercarter9741]

Very cool. Are you going to list any of the apatite in your ebay store?

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Heather Carter yes hopefully in the next day or two !! 🙌💎👍

[@chrisknowlton8735]

Dang it, I spent some time up in bancroft and all I got was some sodalite (nice pieces too) and some nice boulder feldspar and some green stone with quartz veins (and a little feldspar) in it that is amazing. But I asked around at about 10 places about mining for crystals and there was no help to be had. Where do I find the place you were at?

[@meMiner]

Chris - IMHO 1st stop should be the Bancroft Chamber of Commerce. They run tours and are an excellent way to get started. Otherwise, they have info on the larger public sites in the area that you can do "self directed".

[@DarkAK2]

damn you have the coolest job ever

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Thanks yes it’s enjoyable 🙏🙏🙏🙌⛏⛏💎

[@k-vy5nt]

If you need a home for any of your crystals I’m here! Lol

[@TheCrystalCollector]

They all need a good home🙌🙏💎

[@orionnash3135]

Hey! I have a big forest for my backyard with two rock quarries in sight, and I live in New Brunswick, a bit outside of the capital. Do you think thered be a possibility of finding something hidden by the brook/river or within the forest ?

[@TheCrystalCollector]

I’m not sure the geology; it may be worth checking out though 🙌💎🙏😮⛏⛏⛏

[@mommyandmerock2622]

With all the rocks/and crystals you have found and collected, do you still get the same rush of excitement with every find. no matter how small? I know for me it doesn’t get old But than again I haven’t found anything close to what you have

[@JohnSmith-ll5nd]

Y'all funny 😂 sell shirts with the words "look at that!" "whaaaaat!"

[@KanadaVCK]

that pile of apatite reminds me of depression glass

[@debbieibrahim685]

Where is this place while on holidays looking to go and experience digging some pretty gems on our own...can you give me the location?

[@TheCrystalCollector]

This location is right outside of Bancroft Canada, I don’t have the exact address, when up there only spoke with some friends

[@ledaleighton5706]

Are there any public dig sites in Georgia?

[@Yourname3000]

This is a nice business. The investment in equipment, heavy machinery, storage, and transportation as well as mining permits are worth it for professional prospectors. Average folks can not afford such large scale investments. Still worth the entertainment value is there with the quirky commentary from the show host. Cheers~

[@sugarmoongarden8710]

Ur deff. Working up an appetite I'm sure lol

[@edyjones6907]

I was at the titanite hill location a couple days ago and found a massive feldspar about the size of a football and an apitite larger than a foot long sub

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Edy Jones that place is great! I enjoy digging with others and there seemed to be many people digging there! Makes it fun 💎🙌

[@edyjones6907]

The Crystal Collector ..yea both places are great I have fantastic pieces from both locations.. is there a place I can share photos of my finds with you? I believe I have a few you'd be interested in seeing esp. From the smart mine

[@ayoubelmoutaouakil3318]

[@jinchun2268]

Fact of the day most "foot long subs" are actually 11inches
