[@dustinfindsrocks]

Yeah really awesome break on this one!

[@johnsaucerhunter]

What a wonderful time you must have had. And everyone appeared to be having a great time too. I always love to see the kids getting in the dirt and digging for rocks. Always enjoy your video's Dustin.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Yep always a great time! Thank you 😊

[@RockHunterMark]

Had a great time see ya. Beautiful finds! Catch ya soon.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Come out to Perouqe creek today 😆

[@JeanSchnoor]

Hey Dustin, my name is Nikki. Please excuse me being on my mom's KZbin profile but I just shattered my phone and wanted to reach out before it got to late. Cause I am planning a trip down to haunted ridge for next weekend, from Wisconsin and I was hoping I could get some tips from you. I watch your channel all the time and it's actually your haunted ridge vids that have made me decide to come down and go there. I'm super excited. Maybe we'll see you there.

[@wrightrocks6303]

Thanks for the shoutout, Dustin! It was a blast out there that weekend!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Ugh man I’m sorry I wasn’t able to make it Saturday. I know I missed some cool stuff. Anyway… I’m sending you some stuff

[@southcountysurvival5216]

It was my first time there and I was hunting next to you on Saturday where Brian was digging. I pulled out some great pieces and saw you doing the same. Was a great experience and cannot wait to go back! Hopping over to your channel now to see what you got. I’m still cleaning!

[@MichiganRocks]

That's some cool stuff, Dustin. After you mentioned this spot, I thought I should check it out.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re in the area! The owners are super friendly also. There’s also several other places nearby opening up. You can find tons of geodes just a few hours drive north also. Thanks so much for checking it out Rob!

[@Coldbloodedrocks]

This is Karen and Roy. We met you on Friday at Haunted Ridge. Thanks so much for the advice and for the two pieces you left for us. We had a great time, and meeting you was a great bonus! Thanks for getting us started on this adventure!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

No problem! Thanks so much for coming out and I feel honored to have inspired you. 😊

[@406findings]

Holy hell!! Those are some big crystal plates 🔥 beautiful finds and its always nice getting extra stuff from other rock hounds.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Yeah man! Some fantastic finds! I did alright but I should’ve been digging more. I’m super happy with the one piece I found though. That one alone was worth the trip for a day

[@joedadbod8450]

Great finds, my friend! I so wish I could have come to this dig, but unfortunately had a show that I already committed to go to that weekend. One of these days I'll get out there! The stuff from Haunted Ridge is very beautiful, and pretty diverse in what it's like in coloring and formations...really cool.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Yeah man! The individual crystals are generally small but there’s some LARGE pieces. Some people complain because they’re expecting Arkansas 🤷🏻‍♂️ whatever. Almost infinite variety in the formations also. Some interesting combo minerals too. Yeah you gotta come sometime! I’m hoping to get down your way this spring.

[@JimHerbertOutdoors]

Awesome video👍 Its cool how these events are getting bigger and better every year - People really do love this place and word is spreading. Glad you liked the AR stuff & flourite - Thanks for the shout out i really appreciate it.. I've got a video mostly edited but still have to clean and film some pieces .. sucks getting home from work and its dark out 😅✌️

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Yeah man I feel you on that the time change SUCKS! Super appreciate the cool crystals. Makes me want to do a pocket dig for sure. Your short you made already is awesome I’m sure the video will be good. You found some good ones

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Celebrity rockhounding right there. Liz said she'd be starstruck to meet Matrix. 😂 Cool finds and purchases.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Yeah I was planning on being there Saturday and getting Bryan in the video more but stuff came up. He was actually right beside me when Matrix was there but I was more interested in completing that challenge to find something than get him on film 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 It’s always cool seeing Bryan and I think I really scored on that one piece. Probably gonna polish the back of that in the future.

[@TheAdventureCloset]

@dustinfindsrocks That would be cool to polish that baby up. We were pretty starstruck to see DustinFindsRocks, btw.

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Thank you 😊

[@ravend5405]

Absolutely mind-blowing stuff. Thank you so much for sharing this, I'm about to take an impromptu trip to Missouri from North iowa.🎉

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Thank you 😊 Hope you find something awesome!

[@keithcunningham7925]

Yes you definitely live up to your name you do find the best stuff there my favorite is the one that has all the agate on the back of love the agate there I just love agate period lol thanks for a great video

[@dustinfindsrocks]

I’m going to pack up some stuff today 👍🏻 I’ll send you some agate! 😆

[@keithcunningham7925]

@@dustinfindsrocks awesome can't wait did you like what I sent you I hope

[@JnVrockhounding]

Awesome finds, awesome gifts, awesome dude. Lol. I so wish I could have been there. I will make it out there next year. Maybe we will see ya out there. Would love to go out with you and Jeff and look for some calcite and geodes too.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

For sure reach out if you’re in the St. Louis area. We’re down 👍🏻

[@JnVrockhounding]

@@dustinfindsrocks I will for sure.

[@huntingrocks]

Man it looks like you had an awesome day .. wish I could have been there but I'm glad to see the big rock is finally out we need to hit that spot and dig a little deeper cause when you first hit that area we got some killer clusters

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Yeah there’s probably more there somewhere but… I say we just wait for the next big rainstorm and then check all the dig areas this spring. Maybe try some wall digging on root beer hill. Man I saw some nice plates come outta there!

[@evelynallmon1445]

Your shadow looks like you are Easter egg hunting!

[@fossicking]

Awesome finds man! I’m heading to USA April next year. I may have to come to the area!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

What?! No way! Yeah if you’re going to be in the St. Louis area definitely get ahold of me and Jeff HuntingRocks.

[@fossicking]

@@dustinfindsrocks yeah for sure! I’d love to! I am spending most my time in Arizona however I’ll be there for 5 weeks so I think a flight over may be in order :)

[@dustinfindsrocks]

@@fossicking ooooh you'll most definitely need to meet up with AZ rockhound expeditions!!! But yeah if you want for sure! I believe there's going to be an eclipse in April! Not sure on the dates.

[@blondefire90]

Hey there! My family and I plan to visit this location when they open. What tools would be needed to bring, if any?

[@dustinfindsrocks]

I like to bring a rock hammer for digging and prying and some other pry bars. Nothing too fancy. You can find a good amount just looking around and surface collecting. Wet weather is actually easier for digging but it is messy so prepare for that
