Wow! That’s some amazing specimens! Absolutely stunning crystals, love the colors. I bet there is something awesome inside of that big one!

[@ThirdPlanetRocks]

Thank you! Yes, I am hoping to get some nice Estwing chisels and a punch to work that big one down over the winter.

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

You found some really nice specimens!

[@ThirdPlanetRocks]

Thank you! It's so much fun up there.

It was great meeting you last week at Vermillion! We took up your suggestion on going to the amethyst mine around Thunder bay and found some really good pieces. Thanks again and good luck hunting!

[@ThirdPlanetRocks]

@@ckt3061 No way - that’s awesome! I’m glad you guys were able to make the drive and find some great pieces. Thanks for keeping in touch!

Our club recently did a field trip there but I couldn't make it, now that I've watched this I will definitely go the next time. I'm in Ontario but it's a 15 hour drive for me. Jordan's footwear made me cringe. 😲

[@ThirdPlanetRocks]

It was a 10 hour drive for me. Totally worth it if you can hit the north shore of Minnesota in the states as well! Jordan’s feet are certainly battle tested haha

[@dustinfindsrocks]

So jealous!!! How much did the mines charge?

[@ThirdPlanetRocks]

I believe it's $25 or 30 CAD for a full bucket and $15 for half? The mines are similarly priced. It's an incredible deal

[@dustinfindsrocks]

@@ThirdPlanetRocks Awesome thank you

[@mattgohlke8216]

[@ThirdPlanetRocks]
