The Entire Hillside Shines With Amethyst and Crystals!

[@markpashia7067]

Chris, get a garage sale crock pot. Then find Wood Bleach at a hardware store or woodworker's supply. On low heat with a solution of wood bleach and water cook those clusters for some time and watch the other material cook out leaving the quartz clean as a whistle. Wood bleach is oxylic acid and will eat away that hard clay material that crystals grow in without eating the quartz and host rock they can grow on. You will have to experiment about what heat and how much time based upon your area, but it is the best and easiest way to clean those clusters. I have had some that soaked in cold water for a month and never got clean but in a crock pot on low they cleaned up in a day or less. Naturally I say a cheap garage sale one because after using acid in them, I would not use them for anything else. Oxylic acid is a weak acid but still not something I want to eat.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you.

[@LisaHayes-yj4tp]

Wow those amethysts are pretty; and very cool being able to find them yourselves

[@norsehall309]

G'day Chris, you have the best Christmas ever, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.

[@William_Borgeson]

You seriously need to come to the US and do a meetup with the @TheCrystalCollector. You would be in heaven digging in Arkansas, I'm sure you've seen his video's and I love your finds. Keep it up Chris!

[@bobbyhicks7972]

Amazing what Mother Earth creates and we go nuts searching for them.

[@toddrodgers5108]

Great day. Blessings

[@ThomasHove]

Since you also like agates there are also some limestone caves that are not mapped specifically well and have not been blocked off, over near The boarder of vic and new south whales about 2 hours north of Buchan and the massive stalagmites are just incredible there are so many Agates on the ground it’s just amazing I have been there many times it’s just the extreme 4 wheel drive tracks you have to take to get in there.

[@MikeyIsSoGreen]

You're a smart man, Chris. I started watching your channel for the educational value, and while I was still learning something every video you made, it was diminishing returns. Love the new direction, while also knowing I can re watch the older stuff any time, and most likely still learn something I missed the first time round.

[@MadMarlin1964]

Excited to see the clean versions. What an exciting episode. As always, great video.

[@WHAMaTRON]

Merry Christmas to everyone 🎄🎄🎄

[@Mrjoshuasjourneyzzz10420]

Sweet findzzz!!!

[@Yuckster]

Great finds and you got a spot to dig now

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR ADVENTURES.

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

Thank you Chris for all of your incitefull, educational and not forgetting the mad cap Comedy that yourself and Gadzee & others have added this year hroughout your wonderful video's. So wishing yourself as well as your family the very best for Christmas and lots of luck for next year 😁😉

[@stevechallis5593]

Good watch cheers

[@frenchys_prospecting]

Great stuff, Chris

[@tankmeltedargon8831]

Awesome video Chris, I really enjoyed watching. Merry Xmas and happy new year to you and yours mate.

[@NuggetHunter]

Awesome educational video You shall now be named as vogi wan kenobi. The master of prospecting

[@minerjohnny41]

Not fair. You posted as Gadzee was live, and now I wish I could watch 2 videos at the same time, hahaha

[@Triggerchown]

G'day Chris and Fern. I hope not to offend you but Merry Christmas!!!

[@weekendwarriorprospecting817]

You're fine. He worships the gold gods 😂👍🏻⚒️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@gabivalla6279]

Splitting the dacks first up, but who's worried when you're pulling out lovely crystals, hey. It was so great, Chris, Gadzee and Kyle, seeing three chillaxed temperament individuals get together so easily and dig holes for really nice gems. When you're in a tight hole in company, cracking jokes is best to break the tension ahead of anyone breaking wind. While there's bulk of any type of precious or semi-precious stone, it's the rarity factors that really count, colour, clarity, that aren't found with those giant examples seen on TV recently, nor in bags for twenty bucks at the market, what ends up used in making jewellery. Cheers for a cool Yule and happy new year ahead, inspirations aplenty ahead. 👍🤙🪙✌️

[@mocaman99]

Nice crystals! Cheers for the vid Chris :)

[@gavinhogg6552]

Nice going Chris, you guys cleaned up Merry Christmas to all of you guys and your families, stay safe, enjoy and have a wonderful time Look forward to seeing more of your fantastic adventures Cheers 👍😎✌

[@gold-diggersanonymous1085]

@5:39 broke back prospecting?! TMI !!

[@weekendwarriorprospecting817]

Merry Crystalmas Christopher. 😂 Nah seriously, I really hope that you get chance to relax over the Christmas period. You work bloody hard all year round and deserve a well earned break. Best wishes for the new year. 👍🏻⚒️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@hiddentruth1982]

I bet the best crystals are under the tree.

[@MrJudder413]

You have cactus 🌵 in Australia? Looked like a prickly pear in some of the shots.

[@gabivalla6279]

It had been an invasive species over vast areas of Australia, numbers of other types of cactus that made their way to Victoria Australia by the California '49ers, not the sports team, but folk from 1849 coming for our gold in 1851+. The pears taste okay and the cactus can be prepared and cooked, though I'd hate to gag on a prickle cluster.

[@Hawkeye2001]

Great Video Chris

[@karenjones7111]

Great crystals.

[@scotthultin7769]

470 👍's up VGP thank you for sharing 🤗

[@CORE1.8MINISTERIES]

The state of Maine has beautiful amethysts

[@AndrewChandler-zp6nf]

Good results after coming into Kyle's hole 😂😂😂 Always crack up watching your channel. Churs for the entertainment 😂

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Well done Chris. Bad enough working out where the gold is in the creek but to try to figure out where the crystals are on a hill!!!! Did well mate 😁👍

[@brandonwallace2118]

sweet love the video man

[@Rasulkarteron]

Love the Bulbasaur socks

[@bizmalarky7216]

Need to get your hands on a sonic cleaner

[@skwervin1]

You should try Mortlake Victoria for peridot inside a type of geode found during scoria mining

[@gabivalla6279]

We'd found one at our high school in Springvale, grey scoria boulder and seemed strange for being much heavier than you'd think, inside mostly tight-packed but crumbled peridot, but a few larger pieces, and the local indigenous story of mountains throwing rocks at each other turns out right by the geological actions figured at 20,000 years ago, along with small volcanoes at Berwick which were the source for most of the laid ballast under most of Victoria's rail tracks. Cheers for the tip with Mortlake and peridot.

[@skwervin1]

@gabivalla6279 You need to contact the mine there and get permission to enter the site. I think they are open to the public one weekend a month and byo tools. Good hunting!

[@alexdrockhound9497]

I found an 8 pound smokey quartz a few weeks ago. Best crystal ive ever found by far.

[@TalRohan]

That i s a very nice prickly pear marking where your crystals come from......If you found a feldspar layer you could also find moonstone in those holes (gem quality feldspar) Oohh I saw some phantoms in those ones you found...lovely job.....

[@VoGusProspecting]

Thanks for the tip!

[@hardknocksphd7696]

The great pockets of amethyst here in Colorado are about 10’ down. That’s were the goods are. Dig deeper moldy

[@kevyy_k8444]

HI MATT!!!°

[@michealbrothers4457]

Chris I have bowls, never leave home without it... I go with hybrids,...

[@williamrust8638]

Have you ever tried sampling the dirt from there?

[@HMccafferty-tg7es]

There is an Amethyst mine in Ontario Canada that you can pick them off a public area right off the ground. Then you can buy them by the pound , Spent less than $5 for a ziplock bag that i chose/picked. Very purple.

[@maunumber1]

Thanks for the video. Could I ask how you left the dig site once you left?

[@weekendwarriorprospecting817]

He's a professional with ethics and etiquette. I'm prepared to bet my life that he filled in the holes.

[@defn0s]

I'm glad I found you my friend 🤘

[@Rasulkarteron]

As I have dubbed you on Buckshot Prospecting you are Sénior BigBrain😂😂😂

[@gregnz1]

When are you going to take Pauli from Canada for your Australian Tourismisms hobby just wondering from Auckland,

[@GregoryBeck-g7o]

🎉gem bumping screen. Maybe work for amethyst.

[@rexhaney9806]

Yeah man you're doing something that you really love and enjoy just like your prospecting the gold and one day I got a box to send you with a rock in it it was for your dog and it's an agent type of a rocket it's really nice it come from Wyoming

[@shawnbait]

Quack quack at 14:04

[@kevyy_k8444]

Bwahahaaha had more luck in my home town of MT Isa. Yeh u mighta heard of it b4!!!!!!

[@LuciferMorningstar-wk8qu]

Is the ground just decomposed rock? Is that why the amethyst is just jumbled in with the soil?

[@onwardsandupwardsrockhounding]

Nice socks, 11.16 ..lol... j/k... great job!!

[@ghostprepper5859]

When you start finding Precious stones, well let me know. IE Diamonds, rare stone's im all in There's a 1,000 channels of KZbinrs looking for rocks 🥌 I love watching the Gold 🥇🪙 Well good luck with the new venture and may you enjoy it as much. Peace ✌️ out

[@PowRKord]

^5!

[@trevdyer173]

HahHa you missed a 🦆 at about the 14:15 mark

[@0nesinner]

It's -8 c here in New York. Make yourself some wooden pokey tools for digging crystals. Get a piece of hardwood and you can turn it into a chisel on a grinder.

[@ccccarriemchardy9216]

You need a good water pik (dental flosser), to clean the crystals out of hard to reach dirt.

[@inesbahl69]

I want to apologize up front and I really don’t want to insult Kyle, BUT I‘m painfully reminded of Prince Harry when looking at him, wondering if Meghan Markle let him out or if he fled to Australia, looking for his new fortune. Are you sure his name is Kyle? In the US people are wondering why nobody hears from them anymore😂😂😂 I will not tell anybody. Your secret is safe, specially on YT.

[@Scarecrowe42]

He's Matt now

[@kyle-hx8qk]

Shhhh stop telling everyone 😂. I've.. I've got that a lot lol.

[@CrazyChipmunk78]

It you'd ever in the US in around Oregon, let me know as i have a rather fairly rich gold claim I'd love to let you play on.

[@krisgalusha9820]

Just an idea is to take some cons home and see if gold is traveling with it.

[@gregcollis9688]

Snap I hope kyle's alright.

[@tonymeman9041]

Can confirm, confirmedly is a word, according to google search.

[@gazzasharley]

Live in Central Queensland find these crystals in my driveway after heavy rain

[@hiddentruth1982]

What happens in the bush stays in the bush.

[@WHAMaTRON]

God he looks like prince harry lol

[@jamesschank3833]

That's cool Chris, in this kuntry they only look for crystal meth. Merry Christmas goofy bro

[@BeMoreGooderPeople]

I love the channel. Never miss a video. That said.... Even $10 is to much for a rock or mineral. Even a pretty rock. Just don't get it at all. A lot of nuts in the world hoarding stuff that the kids get to toss out when you die.

[@alexdrockhound9497]

You’ve clearly never seen a museum grade mineral then.

[@BeMoreGooderPeople]

@alexdrockhound9497 Well, I have and own a few nice specimens. They were gifts from the kids. Yes, I did tell them to not waste their money on this stuff. I do like them I just wouldn't buy them myself. I have 15 grandkids. They love rock hounding, heck I do too. I just don't buy them.
