Dredging and mining for precious gems on Mt. Antero | Mt. Antero Treasures S3:E3

Craig seems like an excellent dude. Says a lot when you care about your workers like he does.

If you've ever been down on luck in life and given a 2nd chance by people like this to be a man and provide for your kids I can tell u it brings tears of joy

[@holdencoffman6930]

Such a cool series. None of the annoying scripted drama of other reality shows, just an actual window into their day to day, which ends up being far more interesting.

[@WowCoolHorse]

People say youtube is better than TV a lot, but I mean it genuinely, the production value is so high here for such a small team. You've got all the greatness of a show you'd see on Discovery, but with all the dramatic (unneeded imo) chaff cut out. Each episode is short, yet packed full of content from start to end, the editing is so on point, I'm definitely learning from y'all. You've nailed the genuine personality that internet content achieves while also using the best qualities of reality shows, and I really cannot believe that y'all only have 53k subscribers, I genuinely hope this channel blows up soon, because more people need to see this!

It’s so satisfying when a gem comes out of the ground.

[@brandiblade6]

My 12 year old son and I ran into Micheal up at the Blue Star camp on our hike part way up Antero yesterday. He was such a sweetheart...took lots of time to talk with us about mining and living up there, answered all of our questions, and showed us some of his beautiful finds. It was one of those moments that, as a parent, I'm so glad my son gets to experience the kindness of strangers. What a treat!

[@matinagenttner3705]

Please upload more when you're able I know you guys are busy but I just love watching them and I'm wishing you all the best success and safety and well wishes from Canada❤🇨🇦🇨🇦

Wish u guys uploaded more! Love u guys content n BEYOND top of line production and editing keep this up idk how yall aren't on discovery channel or sumthing similar!!

[@chewy9725]

The Caldwells and Justin Morrison were all on the Weather Channel Prospectors show.. Where Rockhounding and gem mining blew up about 5-6 years ago.. pretty sure they decided to do their own thing and have their own camera crew instead of the drama of MSM.. but yeah I wish there were definitely more than one episode a month!

[@herokillerinc]

You guys saying they should do more crack me up. You live here in Florida and you knew just how short the season up at the top of antara was you see that they're busting their ass to put out what they do

[@cupcakejg1]

Same, I wish there was more follow through with the different projects and reactions from showing eachother the finds reporting back. Y’all would explode, discovery channel level content.

Wow! It is so amazing to watch you guys both on the mountain and off it, and great to see your guys trying different approaches, not just slamming it the same way, but using the pump, using the dredge, bringing it up to the next level and trying different approaches! So great to watch you and your team. Great stuff and I hope you continue to do well and thank you for including us in part of the journey with you!

Imagine if more people treated their help the way this guy does

[@weirdo8643]

Totally agree!!! He genuinely cares for their safety and wellbeing as well as their livelihood. I love how they take turns choosing for their cut of the pickins. Everyone needs to make a living and he makes sure that his team gets what they deserve. Y'all keep up the amazing work, stay safe, and I can't wait to see the next video!!!!

[@daddyschainsjewelry]

That would be great but it only works if you can trust the people. Some would picked half those gems and not say anything. Which is very dirty because he’s letting them use his claim he’s paid crazy money to own. There’s som serious trust and screening in this process. The average “no moral” person off the street has no business here. Unfortunately that’s a big risk to take. So an hourly wage is needed to keep the playing field even with risk. those gems may seem abundant but the wrong person will see that as “ ill pocket this one it won’t hurt no one”

[@roddingham]

Watched you guys on Prospectors and was so disappointed when that show wasn’t continued. Just happened to do a KZbin search on gem mining in Colorado up you popped. A very pleasant surprise. Great to see the Cardwells doing well and the shows production is wonderful. Would love to see the episodes expanded to include more.

[@chrishart3718]

Just curious I don't know anything. But I've been in the trades my whole life and I work up in Aspen where it gets really cold. During the winter we use heating thermal blankets to defrost the ground. Would that help in your circumstance? It uses their black thermal pads that you put over the dirt and it uses the sun to heat the dirt underneath.

Treasures come in many forms. I believe I found a type of Treasure (not the normal what you'd expect). What I found are pictures and together they form a story about something. I found this on a map and made it my featured video. If interested come see. Nothing is monetized (promise). I just wanted to share what I found.
