[@TheCrystalCollector]

Thanks y’all so much getting ready for videos every week!!! Whaaaaat!!

[@missypolk71]

How exciting! Can't wait!!🙌

[@desckUgah000]

will it still be open to digging in july this year??

[@desckUgah000]

I commented on the turqoise video..im planning on coming to Arkansas to dig in june or july.

[@bradleyfouts272]

@@desckUgah000nope! The lease is up on this property the end of February. Then they are building here. Surely we will be digging somewhere else though!

[@jonlennon3348]

Do you get to keep what you find or does the owner decide what you get in these situations.

[@jeanneamato8278]

I love the way you make young ones proud of their finds. You are a sweetheart.

[@deb_DC]

Nice work Bailey in the editing!!!!! The new content is just great as far as education on how crystals are formed. Well done guys!!

[@madiB3881]

It’s almost comical how huge this crystal is. Insane location. Love it

[@TheKimworldwide]

Amazing finds like always! Give little adorable Matrix my love 🙏♥️ stay safe always!

[@Tsip89]

Fantastic!!!

Gosto muito dos seus vídeos esse cachorrinho é a coisa mais linda do mundo e as pedras são muito bonita

[@frenchcrystalhunter]

Amazing discovery

[@janicegelbhaar7352]

Wow those are some awesome crystals ❤

[@katherinepoulson3457]

I am itching to dig! Hello from Maine!💎🤩👏💖

[@deb_DC]

Piece #1 is awesome-est lol!

[@Skyriad]

It's a very unusual shape for brookites... I have always seen them form thin plates, not thick bi-pyramids like that. Are you sure it's not anatase instead ? Same chemical composition, but the shape is exactly like the ones you found. It's rarer that brookite and the only difference is that it crystalises at higher temperatures. I have found both minerals in the alps in nice quantities so that's why I have some doubts.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

The cluster you pulled out at 13:01 will make a beautiful display piece. And of course $$ cha-ching! $$.

[@jamesblake7338]

That’s just insane! ❤

Top my friends

[@rebeccawhite7448]

How come they are closing down this section when the crystals seems to be so prolific and amazing?😊

[@jeanneamato8278]

It would be great if you wrote a book on how you got started. I’ll be the first to buy. 🥰

[@sk8eranna]

Thanks for the geological explanation at the beginning of the video. Great finds!

[@wandaminicka-wojturska1128]

SWEET finds, so why is it going to be shut down ?

Watcher of "January 31, 2025" here! Awesome video! KZbin's Gem and Mineral feed wouldn't exist without you!

[@TheCrystalCollector]

It means so much to have you watching, Thanks for the kind words!

[@jansubocz3145]

Super,Super

[@activedogzz100]

Wow

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

I can't make the Feb. 8th dig, but I look forward to a Spring dig. Thank you Brian for all of the information you pass along. It's always so informative!. When was this dig filmed? You are in a T-shirt!

[@waheedpix]

Hi! How do I find out about the dig on Feb. 8th? Thanks!

[@OH.A.M.]

Seems like Matrix is the guardian of the Crystal forest you’re on. Whaaaat!

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Yes, he does like to guard things and sit up top and be a lookout 😆 🐶

[@HamzaFTW-pb1xl]

Gotta love the long hair !

[@imari2305]

Bryan how come the mine won't be around anymore? I'm behind watching your videos as my health has not been so good and just started watching again trying to catch up.

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Avant Mining had a year lease only location, and it runs out in a month, we are doing one more dig next Saturday for the public and that will be it. It is a really small deposit so it is about finished.

[@imari2305]

@@TheCrystalCollector Aww that's so sad for Avant Mining. They have been so much apart of your digs there. I wish I could join you all. Physically I can't but I'll be there in spirit.

[@doreenflannery8270]

Welcome back. Missed your videos. How can I join your trips?

[@TheCrystalCollector]

I have a Facebook page that I post most of my events, we are doing this location one last time next Saturday. I also do more private smaller digs with my clubhouse group, which is the membership program here on KZbin.

[@richardpastor8839]

I chose #1 I think it is a better looking piece

[@도라에몽-m4m]

😊👍

[@bigjm3143]

Why is it closing ?

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Avant money had a year lease and it is running out towards the end of the month, what would you be doing one more public event here on 8 February which is next Saturday. You could find more info out on the Facebook page.

[@Bobsbedazzlingrocks]

you win

[@russelllary4023]

What would a crystal that size be worth

[@TheCrystalCollector]

I’m really not sure, I know at least 10 K, just because it’s one of the largest, if not the largest and its condition to be found in Arkansas that smoky

[@attilarivera]

😱

[@natebyars2439]

😍🤩👍👍🥳🥳🥳

[@pamelapilling6996]

#1 Is my choice. Too bad they are closing Magnet Cove. That is so sad.

[@thacorruptor4472]

As someone just learning about this cool stuff, and trying to teach my daughter, how do you find these ? and is there any like this ever in Ontario Canada? I have so many questions about this stuff

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Every location around the world has a different type of minerals and crystals available. I’ve done a few videos in Canada, you may want to check them out, there’s a lot of places to go dig for Crystals there!

[@thacorruptor4472]

@@TheCrystalCollector Ive watched the videos in Canada already, kinda binged most of them one day lol. How do you find out about them before hand to go? How much do they cost? I know a few places here in Ontario from your previous vids but even in the US close to the border would be worth a drive. Just have to find out how to know about these cool events with enough notice

[@lundysden6781]

@@thacorruptor4472 hi there, geologist from NY here. To be honest it may be better to buy a few Roadside Geology books and mineral collecting books and simply go exploring with your daughter! She would love it. You may not find giant crystals but even a few small ones would be awesome. There are great sites in northern NY and Herkimer diamond mines around Herkimer NY. Maine also has a ton of great sites.

[@CricketsBay]

I Google phrases like "public dig crystals Arkansas" and "public dig Trilobites Wyoming/Utah" to find pay-to-dig sites in the U.S. Also, local, county, and state rockhounding groups are great resources.

[@sandyv4770]

I learn so much watching your channel. Appreciate you!😊

[@TheCrystalCollector]

I appreciate you watching! 🙏💜💎

[@joshbenoit2859]

That quartz is bigger than matrix.

[@renaissanceman8424]

Was this part of an open public dig or a pocket dig? 🤔

[@CricketsBay]

It was a public dig. The last 1 is Saturday, February 8, 2025.

[@binayveersandhu1688]

5:55 you know what else is massive

[@weetbred]

Massive?

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Yes, one of the largest Smokies ever found on record out of Arkansas, you can see it being pulled in this very video!

[@weetbred]

@ i know theyre huge

[@patrickkillilea5225]

Sickness!

Get to the point!! haha

[@Dontworryaboutit45]

I’m getting a KZbin ad every minute. What’s going on?

[@CK800-f9m]

Hey Mr. Collector, just wanted to ask, can you still pawn a crystal even if it were repaired? 🪨⛏️💎
