Finding Crystal Pockets and Druzy Quartz!!

This dig was from a little over a week ago. This video is just straight up finding rocks, digging them out and showing some of the process along the way. Nothing fancy, and is sort of a follow-up to one of my later videos as this is the same location.
I personally like videos that are a little longer, as I have an office job and having something play in the background helps the time go by faster as I do my work. So, this video is a little over a half an hour so you can see more of the rocks being dug/pulled, and a little more of the process along the way.
Let me know in the comments below if you like longer videos, or if you would rather keep them at about 10-15 minutes!
Hope you enjoy, and thanks for watching!! God bless!

Let me know in the comments if you prefer longer (half a hour or more) or shorter rockhounding videos! I usually trim out a lot of material on most of my videos. I left a little more in on this one though. Any feedback is appreciated! Hope you enjoy!

Personally, I find videos up to a maximum of 30 minutes quite exciting, I often postpone watching longer videos for lack of time and then unfortunately forget them. With my own videos, I make the experience that usually only the first minutes are watched and then fast-forward to certain places in the video. In any case, praise for this revealing video.

Thank you!! I have an office job during the day, so I will often put on a YT video to play in the background while I keep doing my work. The shorter the videos, the more I get distracted from my work looking for something else, so I actually like the longer ones that I can engage in. I know everyone has their own preferences though. :) Thanks again!

Here in south west virginia are right on top of ground very large and high quality. Just new to all of this . Brett

Ya know I spent 8 month 1.5 hours away from here never went exploring 😖 our mountain kept me busy but now I must return!!!!!!!

Incredible! That rock with the crystal pockets is just amazing!

[@joedadbod8450]

I know! Most of the druzy on the surface had worn off, but my mom said she wanted it, so I let her have it. There is a spot on it about the size of a softball that I am guessing is another pocket with crystals that just needs to be broken up to reveal them, but it wasn’t meant to be. It’s in Ohio now, and I am several states away. 😂

Ok I have to go here sometime! You got me with the crystal fossil piece!

[@joedadbod8450]

I’ve actually found a number of these!! I am surprised at how many fossils I have found in that chert.

[@andymyers8560]

I don't mind longer videos. Showing a little of everything that location had to offer is so interesting. Thanks for sharing

[@joedadbod8450]

Thank you!! Just when I think I may have exhausted that one spot, it produced even more for me on this trip!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

As long as stuff is happening I enjoy the longer videos 👍🏽 definitely very interesting material in this location. The luster is fantastic on these pieces

[@wrightrocks6303]

Another awesome trip out there! That pocket of the larger ones was a great find. We’ve been waitin to find something like that out there.

[@joedadbod8450]

Thanks so much, Chris! If you make it out there this weekend, I hope you come away with some amazing finds!!

[@frenkoutdistrict8160]

I hope you find a lots of crystals. 👍 Gr. from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

[@joedadbod8450]

Thank you so much!!

[@markzinzilieta8927]

Great finds. So pretty and great sparkles !!!!

[@joedadbod8450]

Thank you!!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Man those larger points are really exciting!

[@joedadbod8450]

I know! I can get a little “fix” since it’s such a long drive down to the Mt. Ida area, I can just travel here and get some points instead.

[@bartbetnar5860]

Thank you for sharing! So exciting to find crystals and druzy up here (NWA). I'll keep my eye out a little sharper...

[@joedadbod8450]

This is actually just a little over on the Missouri side, not too far from the border.

[@joedadbod8450]

I am guessing that there is pieces like these on the Arkansas side, since it’s so close.

[@birdmarsh5517]

Great video again! What location was this? Hope to get there someday, long drive from MN. Lol

[@jefftrag1956]

Where is this place?

[@joedadbod8450]

Right off of the northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri border, probably about 40 minutes from Rogers. I can’t give the exact spot, as this was shared with me from a friend, and for now we are keeping it as undisclosed.
