Treasure hunting, crystal faces and fluorite, Colorado 2018 - how to rock hound

[@TheEnduringGardener]

what an amazing part of the world ! I used to collect rocks when I was a kid but it's something that I haven;t even thought about for years. Maybe I need to get back on it....

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

If you do, let me know if I can help =) - start out by looking for quartz that is connected to the ground

[@hempwick8203]

hey i live in CO and ive been watching these dig videos for two days

[@burningsandsexploration3711]

Nice video. I love to rockhound. I am in the Nevada desert and have explored a couple old mines. I found some beautiful blue Azurite in a copper mine. When I first noticed your thumbnail, I thought it was Azurite. Thank you.

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

Thank you. My most popular video on this channel is just me digging and talking. So I did a part two basically, here. It came out really blue on the camera, I figured why change it, it gets attention. Even on site, when looking at the film, it looked blue. That's like how Fluorite acts accept opposite; its blue or green and wonderful in real life, then on film it looks like nothing (getting it wet helps).

[@mray1255]

Denis The Menace once said “I had a great rock collection until I got a slingshot for my birthday”. 😄😄😄

[@symonsheppard5519]

I said you needed another person with you! Personally I would go to the last car park you went too and forget the rockhounding, just gather up the cameras sitting around. I liked it .

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

lol!!!

[@soccermastax]

That spider was 100% a black widow btw. Very good you noticed it and didn't get bit.

[@cyrusblackwood33]

I literally drove by on hwy. 67 yesterday and saw that exact piece of rock you dislodged. I remembered it from watching this video about a year ago.

[@grncreek]

Scraggy View, A buddy and I have panned/fished a lot of that river, all the way from where tarryall hits the platte down to strontia springs. Best spot I've seen for gold is further down stream about a quarter mile past the giant boulders in the river. (dirt road section)

[@kellyashworth3536]

Some wonderful mineralization on that quartz right after you saw the spider. I would have followed that seem too! Great luck catching that large flock of turkeys on video.😉

[@kellyashworth3536]

Do you not believe that the seem would have gone on up the hill?

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

Hey all - sorry it ended suddenly, my SD card was full, my back up SD card was in my computer. I accidentally forgot it, left it behind in my computer.

[@Chompchompyerded]

Poor ol' Colorado just isn't what it was when I was a kid growing up there back in the 1920's. Breaks my heart. At least I don't have long to live with it. Colorado will have to live with its scars for as long as there is an earth.

[@NomadXplorer]

You're over 100 years old commenting on youtube?

[@xanthiafantom]

I usually would not put in that much time or effort digging unless I seen well formed crystal points or amazonite trace.

[@mctron22rd]

Dude you can dig! I have seen movie stars acting like they can dig or even use a shovel with no skill. You know how to use a shovel and you just dig and dig like it ain't no thang! I would like to go rock and crystal hunting soon before it gets way to hot in New Mexico!

[@Tropicalfishcrazechannel]

nice video enjoyed full driving and digging

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

Thank you. These videos seem to do the best, so I will go out digging this week and find some better stuff and share it. If I think of more tips I will share them too =) - Thanks as always!

[@anthonylacombe837]

Thanks for sharing. It would be awesome to see you ethically do some reclamation work as well.

[@mikealphin]

Great Channel my friend I grew up in Arvada and worked as a stagehand at the Red Rocks as a rigger lighting technician I support and follow your channel now

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

Thank you so much. I rockhound, explore, and now apparently run into bigfoots from time to time lol

[@mikealphin]

@@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot I love that content maybe you could include some of your Sky captures if they look really cool like mine I love seeing Skies from around the world I miss Colorado

[@mikealphin]

@@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot LOL I'm still watching this is great that aunt was very cool that's how it gets in Amber

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

I've got some good drone footage of the sky, trees, etc, on the channel if that's what you mean, this video has a somewhat abrupt end - sorry, was the cameras and batteries.

[@mikealphin]

@@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot cool do you think you could drop me a link here to those videos

[@nhragold1922]

Looks like it is a productive area. Might check it out this summer

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

I found a spot up river that has good gold, some chunky tiny pieces, but still its better than flour, and some small pickers too

[@nhragold1922]

Rockhounding with Bigfoot! Excellent! Looks like a promising area for sure. Maybe see you out there

[@noreenebailey-treece7634]

They are no joke to mess with.

[@maxgrabenstein9072]

Your Tundra is sick. Love those models

[@KNBARON]

Your close to one of dons secret spots.......crystals galore. With sparkling ✨ inclusions

[@kiamichiozarks7056]

Great video, nice views... even the 'Scraggly' one.

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

Scraggly is where the gold is at!!! =)

[@0ptimal]

Lmao holy shit man, your bitching at 19:14 sounds EXACTLY like me. I hear ya tho, that's some shit luck all that damn road and the truck had to be in the way during that split second lol. Same type of shit happens to me everyday, and I def bitch about it😂

[@carlnelson8532]

Dude, you had Gold right behind the Black Widow Spider!

[@rocksdonteat6210]

Rofl. You had encounter. Google the "girl singer eaten by coyote in canada". More than likely the bear didnt know you were there. He winded you and what you heard was him leaving. Hard and fast. And you cant really tell, unless you can read tracks. If you can read tracks they will tell you what's up. I think your in between pine and Buena vista. I think I have looked at that bench myself.

[@RedmanOutdoors366]

Wow cool Video bud BLACK WIDOW ALERT 🚨 HAHA 😂😂 looks like fun 😎👍

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

Thank you, I will do more and have a better ending. My SD card was full and my back up, I forgot to bring =(

well done on the finds gl&hh

[@VANBEARSLOTS]

Great video

[@Mrz.Z]

Hey man, I doubt you'll end up reading this any time soon but I was wondering if you have tips for beginning rockhounders. I just recently got into gemology and minerals and all that but I don't have much experience with anything like this stuff.

[@bunk9991]

Dude, where is your rock hammer?

[@Fugitive24]

Great video, Thx for sharing

[@tinapavone8711]

I head out to Colorado usually every April. Colorado is the hardest place to find legal free digs. Any advice for a Colorado visitor who can’t sign up for field trips :(? And btw awesome video with loads of knowledge too! Thanks in advance

[@kauhanen99]

have to say really intresting video, new friend here, full view becose it was so intresting, but you video stopped suddenly, you have done long time that? so what was that white one in there hill? when coming new video? 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍, like 8. there was that black spider, mayby it was black widow, but not sure.

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

I know I am sorry, my SD card was full. And I left my back up SD card at home. I was trying to find some B-Roll to put into the ending but I couldn't find much - sorry about that. I will do more this week, and show the digs, and share tips, and I will find some better stuff for you guys =) - thank you a ton

[@RedmanOutdoors366]

Hey bud I'm in town from Oklahoma if you wanna hunt some Chrystal I could sure use a good dig my first time in Colorado can you help a brother out ?

[@janinel9500]

Love the black widow 😍

[@RC_Colorado]

KILL IT!

[@thiah1951]

I mistook you for my aquatinted Bigfoot... good news on the bear!

[@somastarscreations]

That baby spider is a juvenile black widow.

[@somastarscreations]

And, you should go to the gift shop in Hartsel, the owners may sell you a pass to dig barite on their hill.

[@wvtreasurehunters2319]

Nice video enjoy

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

Thank you. I was not sure about this, too much facetime, lol. I will do more of rockhounding and finding good rocks.

[@richardtaihitu6157]

you dig a rock near a tree ... later if there is a rainstorm . ..that tree can collapse.

[@daddyjoemakesit1412]

Hi, could you let us know, what are the regulations for going out digging like this?. I mean do you need permits or is it ok to just go dig anyplace except privert land ?? thanks

[@ironmonkey1512]

if it is national forest you are allowed to collect a certain amount of rocks for non-commercial use and/or prospect. Really nobody cares unless you make a nuisance of yourself.

[@billatnip6425]

BLM land Nations Forests but sometimes have been closed because people do too much or don't respect area pack it in pack it out fill your holes .local gem and mineral club. Would be a good place lace to start .many books available with locations

[@mikemalo6336]

he was so freaked out by a normal full size black widow spider then at 34.10, he's reaching into a pocket of fluorites and he disent even notice that there were 3 black widow egg sacs right in that pocket, at leasrt he had on gloves.

[@slimpickens8529]

You and spiders my friend. You wouldn't like FL man. That spider is tiny.

[@williamwyer8520]

I am not claiming to know more than you about what you do. But the more intact the more exspencive

[@noelholland2297]

@Alex Laisney yeah define intact?

[@mctron22rd]

Probably a Sasquatch, I have seen one tear a tree that was about 3 or four feet wide right out of the ground, like it was nothing! P.s. those were black widows!

[@noreenebailey-treece7634]

I believe you that it was Sasquatch. You described the exact feeling and response. I've had visual encounters of them.

[@jasonwarwick633]

That is a black widow my friend

[@72fordmaverick]

You ever wanna team up ona hunt I will be going thru there may 1st or so on a road trip

[@ohjohnnie69]

That's hard work

[@MarkOBrienmarkspage1]

Does anybody know of any areas around Leadville good for Crystal collecting? Me and the family will be up there camping over the next couple weeks. Thank you so much

[@ኢትዮጵያሀገ]

Hey bud I 'd like to join this interesting job. So , what you advise me ? I ' am living in denver, co.

[@Nygge1982]

31:00 is the dead tree some sort of protection against falling rocks or stability to the ground, or just some wind shelter?

[@KingKatRider]

This Ol' vet would have moved that rock looked down at that spider and either emptied all 15 rnds or screamed and ran like a lil girl and didn't stop till I had the truck started. d;{-

Black widow btw

[@Bemadabava]

This is a great video I am visiting family in CO Springs in a few months would you be willing to give me some good areas to go rockhounding while I am there? We are also making a trip to Denver for the day so anything different there would be great. Also My daughter and I Love rocks. We will have my brother who knows the area, but he isn’t into rocks so he would have no clue on that. Thanks for your time

[@RC_Colorado]

we offer contracts for people to come up and dig on our 1600 acre claim on Mt.Antero. com'on up next time you're in CO.

[@tinapavone8711]

@@RC_Colorado yeah?! I’d be interested in More info on that?

[@kristiehopkins2697]

What part of Colorado are u digging in?

[@CA-cg3uf]

Since you gave Bigfoot in your title, have you ever seen one up there or elsewhere?

[@richardtaihitu6157]

The real big foot ?

[@mikecampbell9249]

Its a black widow and its a baby one! They get 6 or 7 times bigger than that one

[@eureka-puzzleliebhaber]

Nice video, when coming new video? Support and follow your channel now! You are amazing.

[@melissastewart247]

I'm in Canon City Colorado and I wish I knew what to look for.

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

One super easy thing to start with, you need to start somewhere right, (your in a great area BTW), is Quartz!! Not quartz anywhere. But find quartz still attached to the ground, that means this is it's home, this is where it came up out of the earth. Now, obviously the more the better, but it doesn't matter the color (white or clear). Just find one of these spots, and start digging around it.

[@DARKNIGHTFELIX]

Black widow becareful bro

[@floydhobbs9904]

Just curious but who does that property belong to?

[@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot]

no worries - National Forest. Before I really got into this, I wasn't digging but I was finding some minerals along a road. A ranger came and he was a dick at first, after he saw I wasn't a delinquent drunk dirt biker /party camping litter bug, he was cool. He told me I was allowed to dig anywhere I wanted as long as it was not near a road. And if I was going to take anything with me, it had to be the amount of a 5g bucket per day or less. I was like - hell yea!!! =)

[@Nygge1982]

@@Rockhounding-with-Bigfoot the reason why said ranger might given you some attitude at the start was most likely that the reason why he found you, was because someone of those fishermans had reported you. So the ranger had to leave his food and the TV-show he was watching to drive out to for 1 hour, and check out what you were doing. Trust me... people are dicks like that and report others... the ranger is just doing his job.
