@@TheCrystalCollector it grinded to a halt lol that's how youtube works when you don't add content at least one every week or two. Hope to get lots of paradise falls time in for 2021 so win-win hehe

Was planning a vacation to Ace of Diamonds because they were willing to accommodate my disabled husbands needs in tools. As it turns out, Ace was closed down by the courts until some ruling on June the 10th when they'll find out if they can open again for the season or not. Currently highly considering a trip to Paradise Falls instead if they can accommodate hubby's needs.

[@TPOTThePowerOfThoughts]

Say Whaaaaaaat??? Stunning man!! Luv it 💎 Luv all your videos! Keep'em comin😁👍

[@josephhumphries6121]

Fantastic finds!! Wonderful video. I already watched That Camping Couple's video about it the other day, so when i saw yours at the beginning, I thought "I wonder if That Camping Couple are there?", and then you yelled "WHAAAT!!" and they replied. LOL The country boy in me keeps thinking of the similarity to finding those herks in the dirt to how I would always look for potatoes in the garden as a boy... with the same excitement and enthusiasm. ;-)

[@megnelizaa8839]

Grading those high end crystals with amazing clarity is super exciting I imagine !!!

My husband wants us to move out of California and I keep suggesting the states where you find the coolest gems. I need crystal digging in my life!

[@TheCrystalCollector]

😆 I can’t blame you 💎🙌💜⚒

[@kmungoven]

Awesome finds. Looks to be a little less work digging them out in soil than rock pockets. Bigger n prettier too

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Yes this location is fun like that, they have slightly decayed out from the rock and into the alluvial soil layer, makes it nice and easy 💯💎

[@sacreverse2962]

"Calm down boy! Were in a pocket!" HAHA Love this!

[@brianmcmanus4286]

Grew up in the area, these crystals and mining for the first time hooked me on rocks for life.

[@GermanGemcutter]

Absolutely fantastic finds😍 Thanks for this very interesting Video👍

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

That was far easier than getting the crystals out of pockets in rock and though moving around to get into the right spot was rather difficult it looked like fun lol. I was surprised not to see Matrix helping to dig, though it wouldn't have been easy to find them after him scrabbling away at the dirt bless him. I have a very cloudy Herkimer Diamond my youngest son gave me, I treasure my crystals and Terry loves watching me with them. We had a terrible night last night with only a few hours sleep so he is resting now and I am going to do the same. Have a lovely evening my friends, good luck and God bless you. Love and hugs to you and Matrix Mary-Ellen UK

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Yes matrix was just hanging out mostly this round near the tree. He was digging all that day and by night he was worn out 😆 I hope y’all get some rest and feel better 💜💎💜

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

[@RasAnuRexNexus]

Hey you should make your own app where different mines are at and what they can find at the mines you could also sell your crystals that were found at the mines with your vids to match the mines since you have so much content just a idea I had for you since you have so much content

[@TheCrystalCollector]

I’m actually working on an app at the moment for that and some other things, hopefully will get done soon! Thank you for the awesome suggestions and support!

[@DigDigDig]

Am I the only one that prefers the small, clear ones over the large ones with cracks or whatever on the inside? The non clear ones just don't excite me much at all. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Although, I'm sure I'd still be excited if I was the one finding them. Lol

So this is off topic from your video but I live in Washington and my aunt has a private creek That's off of the Columbia river by Longview Washington on her property that we have found a ton of amazing specines in the actual creek. But wondering if you could give me some insight on what to look for to find what we are looking for oout of the creek and in to actual soil? Would love to share some of the finds with you but I can't share pictures on here. Is there somewhere I can do that?

Hello Brian. Is that open to public? If not, where would be a good place to go? And when it is good to go?

[@malaikaal-amin2706]

@The Crystal Connector::: I'm a little confused about the excitement caused by finding these crystals???! Are they as valuable as a "Real Earth Mined" or "Kimberlite" Diamond? And if NOT then WHY not? Can they be cut and faceted like a real diamond? Is it legal to call these crystals "diamonds"?

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Sounds like you’ve never been Herkimer mining, it’s super exciting finding these crystals, it’s not about the money, it’s about the sheer pleasure of pulling these beautiful crystals after they have been in the ground for half a billion years. Yes they can be faceted just like diamonds as all gemstones can be. This video I made a while back can help to further answer your questions kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWnPn2yZd9Fmd8U
