@@TheRealMrDigg fella I’m 51 years old and have worked for some great leaders. I am a welder by trade but also am a heavy equipment operator. I would come work for you no question asked if I was in your area. Someone who likes to think outside the box, appreciate your input and encourages growth. Your business looks like a playground to me, somewhere good people can thrive!!! Man keep doing what you are doing and the sky is the limit. Also I enjoy your content. Top 3 I look forward to every day is yours, DP, and litsdig18. Your channel should explode, just keep being you and it will happen.

He had an employee make a mistake that could have damaged equipment big time. Never got mad at him, they fixed the mistake and told him it happens, no big deal.

[@paulstevens8378]

Mr Digg is the sum of many parts........He's part great guy, part businessman, part scientist, part eco warrior and above all, the part he is playing in providing the service for the local community via employment and resources. A truly marvelous set of videos from Chris and Mike. I would love a follow up chat about how, when and why it all started. I would love to know how many staff he employ's. It may be rude to ask, but I would love a rough estimate of the total yearly cost of such an amazing operation. Brilliant stuff.

My vote, this is the coolest video you have done. Worked in a green sand foundry for 20 years, know all about what sand does to steel.

You have asked a lot of excellent questions and made good observations along the way Chris. One question I have is how often do they need to change that pump impeller?Appreciate your taking the time to do these videos, enjoyed them. Excellent recycle system they have in operation, fun watching.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

At least every 6 months

[@5914DL]

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

[@GeorgeKeith-fc2lp]

Most excellent video, Chris. You relate to all that's happening at the plant. I relate to working at such a plant. Thank you.

[@BrianFullerton]

I used to work midnight to 0800 on a 14x12 hydraulic cutter head dredge on the intercoastal waterway. We typically could do 3000 cu yards in 24 hours, depending on material and distance. We often had over a mile and a half discharge line. Used draglines to build the disposal areas (dikes around settling ponds). Very similar to what you saw, but add tidal currents continually working to rip all the pipe apart. It was a privilege to work with them, and I learned a lifetime in those years. So much to break and fix and understand! Brutally hard and cold and hot work, some of the best memories of my younger life. Done correctly, amazingly efficient. Done poorly, gigantic dangerous money pit. Nothing in between.

[@AndrewMoizer]

These tours are absolutely fascinating. Real world engineering at it's best. Thanks for putting them together.

[@rodneywroten2994]

[@archstanton9206]

Really interesting to see how this is done in other parts of the country. Out west, where I live, "our" plant like this is in a gravel bed from an old river...sand, aggregate, all come from the plant to be used for gravel roads, concrete, etc. They even recover a wee bit of gold from the operation.

[@toadhall1951]

Amazing drone footage. Watching from England.

Hi Chris yet another fantastic video at Mr Digg's reclamation establishment, after watching this video today I'm absolutely blown away by this massive operation Mr Digg has got a handle on many aspects of reclamation and recycling and thinking of how to recover more with the reclaimed river rock, thank's Chris for another fantastic video.

Amazing stuff Chris, thanks for bringing it to us. There is SO much more involved in pouring your backyard patio or anything else than anyone outside the industry could ever imagine. I wonder how many times per year Mr.Digg has to decline the chinese offers to buy his operations....AMERICA FIRST!

Been watching for many years. The video where you’re cussing out a long reach excavator with the wrong pattern (waaaaayyyyyy back) and this one are in my top five favorites. This dude is awesome and I’m going to follow his channel for sure.

Another fascinating video into what most people will never see in their lives. Presumably the start up of the machinery each working day must be sequential? A to B to C and so on.The host man is very impressive - concise with his words, very knowledgeable, and extremely polite. Simple and easy to undertand American English without emphasis and devoid of repetative sentences. One of the better quality documentary videos that tehnically minded people will enjoy watching. Well done.

If you ever start pulling up black sand you might want to do a test miners pan looking for the yellow stuff. haha! Jed Clampett struck Texas Tea. You just never know.
