Hi! Speaking as someone with quite an extensive knowledge of gemstones: 1. Those rubies aren’t for watches - they are faceted, and in such a way that they maximise carat weight. I am very familiar with this shape, it is generally considered a low quality cut, but probably means that the material is generally valuable. 2. While those white gems that aren’t diamonds, could be cz, it’s very possible they are white sapphire, a common alternative to diamond. 3. If you take these gems to a jeweller with any kind of gemology equipment they will be able to tell you exactly what each gem is, and I think it’s likely that not many are cz Very cool video :)

The little rubys are called balance gems or jewel bearings. They are used in watches as pivots to reduce friction on rotating parts.

But those does look very differently, they're not cut like real gem stones, but they're usually in the shape of an o-ring with no edges.

I spent a year working at a commercial tourist attraction gold mine in N.C. some years ago. Spending every day panning was great, and we had an east coast gold vein on site, so we also had a very large wash plant more on the scale of the ones you see on TV. We would bring out 20-30 ounces a season all told, and we didn't track what the tourists found or what staff found on days off and didn't mention either. Good times. Not getting rich, but having the experience of a lifetime. Your idea to hit sidewalks in NY or really any major city is genius. Also you talk about jeweler clothing and aprons spilling dust, but honestly I bet you are panning decades of jewelers and metal smiths sweeping their shop floors out the front door with a broom too.

Watch jewels, sometimes known as jewel bearings, are tiny pieces of synthetic ruby or sapphire set into holes within a watch movement. These gems primarily help to reduce friction and provide a hard, smooth surface to allow metal components such as the wheel train to rotate freely.

Hey I came across your video on my random KZbin suggestions and had a quick suggestion for you (or viewers that go out and do this): Pick up a "High-Viz" Vest (High Visibility) from Lowes or Home Depot to wear during the street cleaning. If you're wearing a vest and maybe even put up a few cones with Caution Tape, the police and citizens will likely never mess with you. If they do, just say you're with the "Citizens For Cleaner Sidewalks Group" and that way you're not pretending to be a governnent official in any way - which IS a crime.

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

what have u found of value? or that u like?

[@susanturcotte3176]

This is my first time commenting on any video. I was absolutely thrilled about an incredible idea! Stayed on the edge of my search watching all the gold and gems you pulled out of the cracks! Wow! Regardless of how much value you assigned to the materials, I thought it was worth more just to share this 'goodie collection' with everyone! Thank you so much and happy vacuuming!

[@Klesh]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Whether-Man]

I’ve never been metal collecting or hunting but your channel makes me want to start. Looks like a really fun hobby. One that helps the pocket instead of hurting it haha cheers

Very Cool Video... Really enjoyed it! 👍👍

[@youcantshimshamthezimmzamm5712]

It’s crazy what and where you can find if you know what you’re looking for. I remember learning about people finding gold with a pan like this back in the California gold rush but I didn’t know it was still the best way to do this

[@renaissanceman5847]

You can use a UV light (small pen light used for automotive use) to test the rubies as they fluoresce… some diamonds do as well.

[@RhysoTV]

This is craaaazy. That's way more than I was expecting you to find.

[@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968]

That was fascinating, I'd like to see the refining process on that final dust pile and how the different metals in there are separated.

U put them all in a bucket mix potion and wait three days and all the metals seperate into a pie graph

Used to pan for gold with my grandpa out behind my house in the river. We definitely found a decent amount of gold. Hes to old to go out and pan anymore but he still wants to do it! Awesome video guy.

hmm dont you take your grandpa out then anymore? like in a wheelchair so atleats he could watch for example. Or you go with him to the river let him sit and watch you grab the dirt and stuff then go back inside place everything on the table so you and your grandpa can pan again!

[@yoBradyO11]

The rubies inside watches are synthetic rubies and are extremely small. You'd never see them with the naked eye in dirt like that. I'm a watchmaker. That all is an unbelievable score! Good job!

[@J.DeLaPoer]

Also a watchmaker here. What stood out to me is that watch movement jewels are more like little micro hockey pucks with holes through their centers 99% of the time. Like perfectly smooth little rings almost, other than the capstones and even then.... You'll never see these big, facet-cut cabochon style rubies in a watch. Some of the really early pocket watches did use relatively huge, natural diamonds as balance capstones though!

[@bed562]

well i took basic jewelry making and i can tell u watches dont crack...thats a weld i think that seals it. like swiss made watches and rolexs, not solder. those gems are fully mounted, ive seen it. they do not fall out..only fakes and its hard to tell here in california. the rain washes that shit right off the street if it were real diamonds or gems...as the street divide is too metric and small. i think watches in the industry are far more expensive and complicated than jewelry...those diamonds are insured i think. like rolex's... the term ur thinking of is fabricated...also a jewelry making term. you have fabricated diamonds nowadays too...

[@kenyonbissett3512]

Several years ago I offered my niece heirloom jewelry I had inherited. The value of the 2 rings was about $6,000. The only catch was she had to have them looked over by a jeweler to tighten the prongs. She ended up spending a couple of hundred to tighten them up (140yr old rings). Much cheaper than replacing the stones.

[@Klesh]

Cool story!

[@janetstreet7264]

I inherited a blue sapphire ring about 12 years ago that I eventually passed on to my daughter-in-law. The stones are gorgeous! Vivid blue, not the "midnight blue" of so many modern sapphires. So much "life" in the stones, too -- sparkles of beautiful blues. So pretty.

[@Akos843]

In the future, maybe in 1000-2000 years later, a scientist will think about the people lived in New York, while she/he studies the ruins and abandoned streets of the once big and famous city. "People must be very rich that time. The Golden era. They walked in gold dust and on gemstones. Must be a wonderful time for everybody a time when they lived without poverty and deprivation."

This is one of the coolest gold hunting videos I’ve seen I’ve never thought of checking sidewalk cracks you just got a new subscriber for sure

[@akiyajapan]

Pretty interesting! Now I'm wondering if the street cracks in Tokyo are dingy enough to try this. haha! Last year, I bought an abandoned house in Hiroshima and have been cleaning, sorting, and treasure hunting what's been left behind. I found a quarter karat diamond that still had the original paperwork and case. I had it authenticated with a gem master in the city. Unfortunately, the pearl necklace was fake, but I have also found nearly 200 old coins from the 1950s and early 1960s, 13 old 1000-yen bills (valued at about $25 up each), and old 10,000 yen note, and -- wait for it -- a WWII officer's katana! There's some other stuff but these are the biggest items so far. Currently, the local police board is investigating my katana to be sure it isn't connected to any criminal activity. If all goes well, I will be able to register it and keep it. The value is roughly $2000.

[@Klesh]

Cool story! I’d love to visit Japan again. Talk about my last trip every day.

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

My family and I have done some prospecting here in Wisconsin, we typically find a fair amount of flower gold.( we dont live far from the flower gold wizard) In 15ish trips out to the big lake we have just about 27 grams of gold that we are saving for a Disney trip.

[@MsTwissy]

Wow! I’m from Minnesota and I’ve been thinking of trying the hobby out. I like repetitive hands on work like this but never had the guts to buy the supplies. I feel like some people would make fun of me but it’s so cool people nearby are doing this for fun too! Good luck on Disney trip!!!!!!!!!!

[@wilkefarms6784]

When my family and I started we definitely looked like a bunch of doorknobs but you have to remember it's a learned art to gold mining and it's going to take some time to get your rythm but once you do it's a great way to spend time with your family or friends, and the added bonus is my kids are getting to see the value in hard work. My deal with my kids is once we hit 2oz of gold we will go to Disney using gold money and whatever else I have to chip in is worth it to me for all their hard work

[@MsTwissy]

A question what are you doing with the diamonds afterwards? Are you selling them or are you reuse them in jewelry? Because it looks more like you’re more interested in the gold.

Its probably more likely you pan more gold here in the city than you are out somewhere like iowa or anywhere midwest just because of the VAST amount of gold and jewelry in general that flow in and out every day, every hour on these streets.
