Why are there Garnets Everywhere on this Beach! *New Adventure 2024*

Panning for gemstones - Many Gemstones are heavy just like gold, so you can pan for gemstones just like you pan for gold. However, they are ot as heavy, and more difficult to pan. That is typically why we use a gem sieve rather than a gold pan for gemstones. In this case all I had was the gold pan, and we needed some garnets for our webstore, so today I am panning for garnets! And also checking out a new claim.

Those Garnets look like fish roe

[@janina8559]

I thought caviar from the thumbnail myself 😂

[@Gertyutz]

They're really much smaller.

[@frankleepower2333]

It would be really cool to have an aquarium full of garnets on the bottom!

[@1959Berre]

An aquarium with gurnets swimming in it.

[@ThePondCrusader]

As a gemstone collector and a fish lover now I want to price this for one of my smaller tanks.

[@Rozes301]

🤩🤩🤩 YES!

[@ThePondCrusader]

Good news it is very easy to do this, I went to a store in my area that sells garnet sand for sandblasting and found some that is very red and beautiful for a good price. I was able to get 50lbs for under 100$. I will be putting a tank together today with no fish or plants for testing just to see what it does with the PH balance and more, If anyone wants the feedback on this I will post the results here.

[@BirdTalk13]

I bought many amethyst, blue topaz, lapis, aventurine and pink quartz 36” bead strings from the jewelry district downtown for $80. I soaked and stirred them in tap water before placing in my aquarium. I then bought some larger pieces of amethyst to place in the aquarium and the Clown Loaches loves to play with them by moving them around like balls.

[@whereswendy8544]

Nice! When I was a teenager living in Pr. Rupert, my dad brought home a whole pile of garnets he found while collecting oysters on the beach. He got me interested in rock collecting, finding agates near Monte Lake. All your videos are so educational and enjoyable.

[@GeorgeIharosi-jt1yp]

Hiya Dan and thanks from Ontario. Seeing all those garnets just prompted me to thaw out some roe for fishing tonight👍

[@Danhurd]

Have fun

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

I’m on the way to the Japanese grocery to get Masago!! On a bagel with cream cheese!

[@lilolmecj]

Excellent comment! As a child and young adult I did a bit of fishing, mostly pond and riverbank. Now I have lived in Washington state, USA for many years and have never fished here. I am hoping to learn enough to go lake fishing this summer. I have never used roe, mostly just red wiggler worms.

[@mikeblair2594]

@@lilolmecj Stream fishing is more fun (in my opinion). Some of the small creeks have some big fish. I used to go to the pet food store and get a bunch of crickets. I'd get up to the creek I wanted to fish and bring a pole or just some line and hooks, no weights. I'd cut a willow pole about 8 to 10 feet long and tie about twelve feet of line with a hook at the end. You get above a hole that looks good and float A cricket down into the hole and you don't want to let your shadow hit the water. When your cricket gets to the hole if he's paying attention, the boss fish will be the first to hit it and they hit hard. Then you go down to the next hole. I understand that this is kinda primitive way to fish, but its fun and it presents the bait to the fish in a more natural way. In some areas the fish are skittish and won't hit anything, but they'll hit this way. Anyway, have fun and I hope you might try my way. BTW, my way is legal in Washington state. Good luck

[@skehleben7699]

I'm profoundly rock n mineral obsessed and can't go anywhere without bringing A rock back!

[@Seahorse1414]

Me too , doing it 64 years now...the rocks are smaller now , I have no room left !

[@PeaceJourney...]

Same, but over the years I now have a routine of putting the good ones back, or moving them into an area where small kids are, spreading the love of rock hounding to another lifetime, another generation. I recently downsized, and now carry the core specimens from a lifetime collection, gave away the rest. I plan to rock hound for the rest of my life, just not room in the rv to keep everything anymore 😂

[@ivonalivalot4035]

@@Seahorse1414 hahaha. my hubby put me on rock restriction after our last move lol (but I still grab one or two smaller-fist sized- now and then :-)

[@dizzious]

We used to find tons of almandine garnets while gold panning in Vermont. I used to save all the big ones but stopped after accumulating a gallon freezer bag full. Some of them were pretty big, nearing walnut sized. Same as in your area though, all the big ones were so dark they looked black. The tiny ones and fragments were a great red color though. Those hardrock specimens you got at the end are awesome!

[@andrewmunchkin7212]

I think I have clear and yellowish clear garnets in my brook in Vermont. Tiny like half a rice.

[@maunarose]

My son went panning for garnets with his grandmother, my mom, about 22 years ago. He ended up making me beautiful jewelry using wire and tiny jewelry tools. I love your video ❤

[@tobiasfrey2793]

I just got done panning out some garnet sand from the Baltic sea and I absolutely love how it turned out. The material from the area typically doesn't have too many bigger garnets in there but that doesn't bother me too much. Cool thing about the sand from there is that there are (small) chances of gold, platinum and other gems like zirconia to be found there. Also, this was actually the first time I've ever successfully panned something! I've tried before once but didn't know at all what I was doing. After watching your videos for a while, looking closely at what you're doing while you're panning and thinking a littl about the theory behind it, it finally worked for me!

[@mfcker]

theres a beach near me called ruby bay, its an ancient vent for the dead volcano edinburgh castle sits on. you can find garnets if you look hard enough

[@RambleOn.]

I think I’ve seen a vid abt searching for gems there- was on a channel abt a mother daughter duo that go gem/fossil hunting & picking thru Victorian-ish era trash dump, usually… their vids look really fun. Lots of things to find in that area! IIRC(?) they’re called the northern mudlarks

[@mrharry8466]

Garnets vary depending on the quality. A 1-carat garnet with inclusions could cost around $500 while a cleaner garnet with a more rare colour could cost between $2,000 and $7,000 per carat. More rare garnets, like demantoid and tsavorite, will cost more.

[@rinna3719]

As a biologist, I kind of approve of those rules for taking material out. That does seem like it would protect the river from the more unscrupulous greedy people. That said, I'm also one culprit for your depleting garnet supply. I think I should get my order in just a day or two. Cheers from Finland! (We also have garnets here, but I just loved the look of yours.) :D

[@Jesse-zk9ge]

Interesting, but on my parents' property on Eagle Creek in Oregon. I strangely enough get more big gold flakes mixed with green garnets. I almost thought they were peridot but I took them into a jeweler and they told me it was a garnet. But they seem to be the same color as a Peridot.🤷‍♂️✌👌

[@geradkavanagh8240]

Only place I've ever been where you could literally scoop up small garnets was near Mount Frosty mine, Mount Isa, Queensland. Garnets were embedded in schist host rock along with Staurolite crystals. We used to look for the crossed crystals (Maltese crosses) and multiply crossed crystals (Fairy cartwheels) there. Almost all the small garnet crystals were perfectly formed. Never found any larger than 2mm in diameter though. There were supposedly other nearby areas where larger garnets could be found but the country was truly rugged and only way in was trekking miles on foot in a very arid environment.

[@amberbydreamsart5467]

I really appreciate you detailing what the rules are and how you're following them - I often worry when buying a gem how much natural beauty may be being destroyed to find it, and I know if I buy from you exactly how it was harvested and that you're doing what you can to preserve the beauty around you as well.

[@northernerinnc3179]

[@martsiidar7427]

I have always loved your garnet videos, it's awesome to see you panning for these . I have panned out garnets for few years now. I did craft a sieve but, unfortunately there are no known localities for any gemstones in Estonia, so everytime I go prospecting, I'm kind a looking for everything. Oh I wish I'd find a spot where garnets are laying around like caviar, not hiding in rivers, and inside tough mica shist/quartz kind of matrixes:D . I craft jewelry like you mention 06:30(inlay rings, epoxy and glow powders) - I took it as a mission to find craft worthy materials here in Estonia. I knew it's not an easy task but learning from the best ;P, I have had a more interesting journey that I did expect. No gold yet but calcite, all kinds of quartz, garnets and pyrite everywhere. Not giving up on gold either, one day, I'll find just a single spec to prove them all wrong :D

[@metalhead0274]

Im a rockhound and love geology.... It is sort of why i love living around volcanic areas...there so much to see and get into geology wise.. Have you done a video to tell how garnets are made and formed?? You may have, i dont recall, seen a whole lot of videos.
