Excellent. Thanks for the information and super video. I will definitely make this trip. A great opportunity for sure.

This place is so wonderful. I dream about hopping back into those tunnels and hillsides all the time! Roger and Bryan are really fun to hang out with.

[@riopalgem3734]

As a long time mineral collector in Maine and NH area, you are absolutely correct about currently open collecting locations being closed in the future. These famous mines are great locations to take advantage of while still open to collecting. Wish I was closer! Beautiful specimens and informative video.

[@Bodybuildingcore]

Yeah I love mineral collecting and I’ve been meaning to get out to the red cloud mine, but in the summer it’s just so damn hot out there. Those are some beauties and will make some nice display pieces. Hope you can upload more mineral vids 🤞

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

In talking with the owner, he generally leaves for the summer. so you should get out there in the spring. I may try to go again in April

[@illeagle6024]

State mineral. Nice!

[@rollandsaxton]

Dang that landscape was weird, does look like sea floor. Great videos guys. Everytime I talk to people about prospecting they ask about you guys and how you find so much so I asked Andy who vouched for you guys. That's so awesome keep up the great work

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thank you for making sure we were legit 🤣🤣 Good luck out there ⛏

[@rollandsaxton]

@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK hey when people find the great specimens and nuggets like you do it's usually planted. But Andy from (Andy and Amy's Arizona adventure) we went out this last weekend with our new AXIOM's and I mention your videos , he had nothing but the utmost respect for you guys.

[@SpiritualNerdGems]

I'm surprised Roger let you dig in that vein. He usually asks people not to. I'm glad you had a good time though.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

@@SpiritualNerdGems I moved a lot of material in just a couple hours. I’m sure it opened doors for new specimens

[@hollynoelleAbductedUfologist]

That seafloor is Tailings Piles from the mine! PS..have You a geiger counter?

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

That area was right by the Colorado river. A place called painted rock park or something. Not mine tailings

[@jamesolson4420]

Even looks like crystalize coral

[@Red-et2rd]

Great video! I think we are headed out that way sometime soon. I have a quick question for you on gold prospecting. I am starting to fine a little gold but it is very very fine, any suggestions on finding a little more chunky stuff. I have been finding the fine stuff on inside corners of the drywashes. Thanks Red

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Some areas can be completely void of chunky gold, and only have fine gold. The opposite stands true as well. If you are dry washing, it could be too much air or too steep of an angle on the tray. Bigger gold will drop out before smaller gold. Sometimes the gut of the creek can have good size gold. Or you may just have to find a new area that has chunky or gold.

[@jamesgreenler8225]

Sweet

[@mattbarber7645]

headed for AZ on the 20th for a month. have you used wireless Bluetooth with your detectors? seems like everyone fights with cords. i'm going to give it a try. it would be great to run into you guys. let me know if you are in the Quartzsite area. its going to be great to get out of the snow for a bit.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Was in Quartzsite over the weekend. Super nice out there! As for the Bluetooth, no I prefer to keep things simpler than that. I don’t really struggle with my cords at all and it’s only one anyway.

[@mattbarber7645]

great ! video. what have those crystals been used for?

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

I think these were originally silver mines

[@AvalonDreamz]

The link up top tells you, it's like $60. a day per person from what I could see.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Yes up to 100.00 a day depending on which options you choose

[@brianthayer9784]

Love wulfenite have 3 specimen when ever I find it it comes home but here have to get at ahows

[@jamesolson4420]

Yep looks like the bottom of the ocean

Hey were you aloud to keep all the specimens you found in the mines?

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Yes, but they did not let you dig in the really nice pockets

Howdy, yeah it’s been a wet cold winter but I’ll be back at it soon. Boulder dash recently found a frikin massive nugget

[@yeetyeet8365]

So what do you do with this if it is so fragile.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Once you get them home, it’s ok. After that you can mount the specimens in perky boxes, acrylic, or just store them. It’s the miles of dirt roads that are the threat

[@Review-This]

Are those worth money?

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Actually, they are worth pretty good money when they are high-quality. These are pretty good, so yes.

[@AB7524EVA]

Can you melt that stuff and turn it into pure stuff

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

No but it’s much nicer looking than gold 😊

[@garykramer597]

Where are the new videos

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

I know , I know .....not much detecting the last month or so

[@exploreAZ]

Is it open to public to collect?

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Yes , its a fee dig . You need to contact them to set up a time to visit.

@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK sorry I jumped gun on commenting. I watched till the end and you mentioned the same.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thanks for the comment. wind can certainly be a problem.

[@d4anzig]

filmed with a go protato in some shots

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Yeah I had some settings screwed up here and there , sorry ….but I assure you it’s no POS GoPro

[@kenmargel1693]

You walk through a mine, then arrive at a ladder with a bag of rocks which magically appeared in your bag !? Why don't you film the specimens removal ???

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

I felt wierd setting up a tripod in mixed company. I totally agree though. I really wanted to get some collecting footage

[@rrrrsorry8408]

The question needs more clarification since I run the red cloud mines group, I’m the one that you will be seeing if and when you come out to collect I’m always getting asked why I don’t film myself removing mineral specimens whether it be at the redcloudmine or one of our other mines? That’s quite a simple answer. I only have two hands. I would much rather have both of those hands free to extract, high value, mineral specimens without damage. Believe me when I tell you, we’ve tried we have strapped go pros to our heads, our helmets, our chest, rigs, arm, rigs, and even had people trying to film over our shoulder. It is just impractical I can tell you from first-hand experience most of the extraction videos you see are either staged and/or done where the mineral specimens are hard enough to go after with one hand, having no fear of damage.
