Digging Rainbow Fossil Wood | Petrified Forest National Park

[@bjwalters8385]

I would live to go on a roadtrip like this. What a dream to live that way!

I did it a few years back 5 thousand miles and 4 National parks

[@avagrego3195]

Do it, it's fun.

[@smishsrawnaturereview8528]

I used to do it for 3 weeks every summer living in CO! That is why I love the wild west

[@TheCrystalCollector]

This was fun times y’all! Highly recommend and will be doing a private supporter page dig at this location soon!! See the Facebook “the crystal collector supporter page” if your interested in meeting up there!! facebook.com/groups/405946380113012/?ref=share Whaaaaaaaaaat! Thanks for watching!!! 🙌💎💜⚒

Yer Not Paying MATRIX Enough ! That Dog Can Dig ! Enjoy All Yer Videos !

[@MidnightCyanide]

My boyfriend and I are 19 and one of the things that brought us to be together two years ago was our mutual obsession with rockhounding. Neither of us had ever actually been on a dedicated digging trip until last year when we drove all night to dig in a couple places in N.C. for my graduation trip! Thanks only to your videos, because we'd never have thought it possible for people like us to do, after all, we aren't geologists haha! Now we are planning our second trip from Colorado to Arkansas that is even more intense than the first, and we are watching these videos together in anticipation :) thank you for doing what you do

[@chehystpewpur4754]

[@thegeorgiacreekwalker491]

Really Beautiful colors, I don't know much about petrified wood and have probably walked over some while looking for Native Artifacts but not like this stuff, I don't think I would have missed something so pretty, I've always had tunnel vision while looking for Native Artifacts and not paying much attention to what else is laying around like petrified wood and fossils and such but I'm on the lookout now, Man it's Amazing to me the huge variety of Beautiful Jewels and Artifacts laying around on this planet we share waiting to be found, it's such a joy to get out and explore and treasure hunt especially with Loved Ones, I Love It.

I live in Phoenix AZ and do the loop when visitors come. I drive them up to Flagstaff on Day 1 stopping at Montezuma Castle National Monument. Day 2 starts over at Meteor crater and the Petrified Forest National Park ending in Pinetop/Lakeside. Day 3 is the scenic view going back to the valley via the Salt river canyon on hwy 60. That trip never gets old.

Matrix is the best assistant ever! He gets so excited 🤣. I’ve been to a lot of these places when I was a kid. Memories that last a lifetime!

[@ChameleonArtist1555]

Wow!! This is amazing!!! Petrified wood is so fascinating because trees are living things, but we do not feel like they are living, so using petrified wood as proof is very cool! Those petrified wood pieces were literally like the best petrified wood pieces I have EVER seen! I never expected petrified wood too look as pretty as a cartoon wood piece. Like dang!

I just wish I could get a job in the Crystal Collector’s Company. My dreams would come TRUE!!! Coming to America in the beginning of the 1960’s, from my birthplace, West Germany, I was obsessed with digging up some gold. Then, I got a rock polishing set for Hanukkah one year and I made lots and lots of gorgeous gems 💎 - I just wanted to make pretty jewelry for my family and friends, well that was nearly 60 years ago and I’m bitten once again upon viewing the Crystal Collectors’ KZbin videos!!!

Great tour of the private dig and the public park.

I found this absolutely riveting to watch Bryan, I have seen petrified tree stumps on a beach in Southwest England and walked among them, I was fascinated by them as I was your video. I know that more forests of petrified trees have been discovered on the beaches in Wales too. The colours of the pieces you, Dillon and Matrix found are gorgeous, until you cleaned them I didn't realise how beautiful the colours could be. That area is one I would have loved to explore when I was able but at least you have showed me and I can tell and show Terry later. Take care and stay safe please all of you, God bless you all love and hugs to you Matrix and Dillon Mary-Ellen UK

Oh wow, I didn’t realize they were petrified wood on the beach is there, I bet that is beautiful! Yes I had no idea until we clean them that they were going to look so good, we are going back I’m gonna dig for several days! God bless y’all 💜💎💜💎💜
