Digging Up a $1000 Crystal Pocket...You WON'T Believe What We Found!

The Crystal Collector visits the magical location of Fisher Mountain in Arkansas. This location is a premiere spot to find world class museum quality clear quartz crystals! Some of the best and most prized crystals found from around the world has came from this actual mine!

[@diamondhunterTv5]

After watching the video "Digging Up a $1000 Crystal Pocket...You WON'T Believe What We Found," I have to say that I was blown away by the amazing crystals that were unearthed! The excitement and anticipation of the group as they dug deeper into the earth and eventually hit the crystal pocket was truly infectious.

[@aurarus5140]

Really conflicting from a mining standpoint, it’s cool to say you dug up an amazing piece but on the other hand knowing there’s a high potential you can’t afford to keep what you dug up would really hurt just as bad. Hope you had a good time man and keep up the great work!

Hi there. Gigi and Ru here from the UK. BIG FANS. We have watched almost all of your videos. This was our absolute favourite. WE LOVE IT WHEN YOU CLEAN THE CRYSTALS after finding them - great stuff.

After watching several of your videos I thought crystal digging would be a fun thing to do. Your videos are very entertaining. But now that I see how the system works, not so much. If they retain the right to whatever is found, they can hire EMPLOYEES to dig it our for them. I can safely scratch digging from my list of vacation ideas. At least now I know.

[@jasm8913]

I agree- so Walmart gets us to scan our own groceries....next we’ll be paying to stock their shelves. I’m not working my butt off to make the mine owners money...that’s just asinine. I’ll stick to the honest, hard, and exciting work of prospecting my own crystals, even if they aren’t worth thousands.

[@thepaulexperience2429]

sounds like you would want to go to Fisher mountain. Then. you can find crazy finds there. For a daily fee. 30 bucks.

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

[@middleagecrazy4234]

Wow I want to dig again. So much fun!

[@donnahumphriesallen5805]

Still don't understand how they can charge $1000 and not let you keep what you find. I would NEVER go to this mine.

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Did you watch the entire video where I explained exactly why this is? As a Mine owner you can’t let people come in to your location and just dig everything up for nothing. He’s offering a lifetime experience that others mines this size don’t even offer.

[@SpiritualNerdGems]

I can see why it would seem like paying $1000.00 would seem steep to pay but after collecting minerals for many years the moment of pulling it out of the ground is more valuable than keeping it on display and the mine owner dedicates his life to chasing these pockets and puts you right on a world class pocket. It may seem steep but the amount of money he spends unearthing these is pretty high.

[@agapelove992]

@@TheCrystalCollector when it was Stanley mines (Ocus Stanley) on Fisher Mt.(Mrs Stanley was a Fisher by birth) They charged peanuts and we could keep everything we found. I'm curious about the backhoes you use. Do you work for Avant? Ocus' son told me who was buying up the mines back in 2001. We had hand tools not the equipment I see in these videos. Clusters, tailings etc...were more than abundant for us rockhounds. I also met Ocus when he was still living.

[@spacecowboy2k]

I get that - at first, I recoiled at the idea, but if you read on the website, they *guarantee* you will leave with $1000 in wholesale value in crystals, if you found more than $1000, I'm sure you could buy more, but the retail value is quite a bit higher, so if you're looking to find & flip, you'll be virtually guaranteed to come out ahead. I would even venture a guess they would help you pick the best $1000 bit(s) if that was your desire. I think that's fair. It's not public land. This mine could easily be closed off and run as a completely private enterprise. Worst case scenario, you paid $350 to cover the costs associated with the mine in the time you spent there, and that's only if you refused to take anything with you, but you've had a day of unearthing some of the best stuff ever. I think this is probably the best of both worlds, because you're being given access to something truly rare and special, and you aren't having to own the land, deal with mining regs, OSHA, etc. You just pop in and out, and are virtually guaranteed to be paid for your time.

[@annakeye]

I have to admit to being a little bit conflicted on the way things are done there. I can see why they're doing it that way. I guess it's part of the reason they own the place, because they can set their own prices and they don't have to get down and dirty unless they want too. That gorgeous cluster you valued at US$100,000 - I'd be so annoyed if I pulled that out because there's no way I have anywhere near that sort of money to play around with and yet they get the reward of the digging individuals hard work. But then I figure that it's like anyone that works for a mining company in some ways, so there-in is why I'm conflicted. From what you've said Brian, people still get really good deals, so.., anyway, thanks for sharing this with us. Now, all I have to say is, wow! They are some absolutely gorgeous gifts from the Earth. I've always wanted to have a wall of quartz crystals for a water feature in my garden.

[@coletfodt]

Hey Brian, another insane video. Sorry but Im still unclear after watching and reading the comments, if you do find and pull crystals, how much do yo get to keep for the 1000.00? Seems like you would at least get to keep the smaller clusters. Or is that just the fee to be there? My daughter has been hounding me for years to visit one of these minds in your videos. We live in Utah and rockhound a lot but have been frothing to get muddy and dig crystals. Been to Topaz several times. Ready to drop in on a slightly bigger adventure. Thanks!

My goodness Brian you’re doing really well. I just wish I could afford to go traveling around a little bit to somebody’s places I’m not able to since I spoke with you last event it’s been a few minutes had a stroke. Kind of sent me back a little bit then I had some contractors in doing some work and they were in my workspace down in the basement and I lost quite a bit of my crystals and stones. I went down after they finish the job that day and found out the little bastards had stolen. A lot of my stuff that was in bags that I had put in boxes. so beautiful rainbow fluorite couple pieces of beautiful Jade meg tooth some Tanzanite some rose quartz. Now I’m gonna have to go and buy some replace everything a little jerk stole. I spoke to the boss about it. Oh my gosh don’t steal anything OK if you say so there was a couple thousand dollars worth of stuff stolen but I didn’t have cameras down there so I can’t say anything because he claims his guys don’t steal yeah

[@balesjo]

Grace, I can feel your pain about not being able to travel to some of these sites due to health, as I suffered a major heart attack 5 weeks ago and had to go through a quintuple bypass. It's going to be a while at least before I'm able to resume things like this. Really frustrating as I live only about 100 miles fron the Mt.Ida area. Best of luck in your recovery, and sorry to hear about the stolen mineral specimens.

Hello Mr. Brian, I will be out in AR. for a multi mine dig and I am wondering if you would like to go halfs on a dig like this one?

[@adventureinventors]

It's a perspective thing folks. People are paying more for an Iphone, and more for a Television. Some people pay $1000 to go to Disney, some $1000 to do fossil digs, or for a ski/snowboard vacation, etc. It's not the price it's the experience as he says so stop knocking the mine and owners. Are there tins of cheaper/free digs out there? Yes. None will offer you this experience so really it's priceless in a way.

I was there in 96 too! And many other occasions.

Yes, the pockets are opened up by large machinery, machines that cost half million to purchase. Then you have mining expensive. Besides, the machine cost, claim cost, employee cost, all kinds of money it takes to dig these crystals out at this level

These crystals are found where they grew, the reason they are in dirt is because the dirt is the granite that has decayed into dirt after millions of years. These crystals form within just a few inches or feet from where we are finding them.
