You've NEVER SEEN Calcite Crystals Quite Like This! EPIC Florida Fossil Hunting and Rockhounding

This has been something I've really been wanting to do since my buddy Derek showed me some pieces of this incredible calcite he found a couple of years ago. These are fossil coral heads that have been replaced with beautiful pointy calcite crystals! It was a fun adventure searching for these treasures for two warm 80 degree January days here in Florida. Hope y'all enjoy the video!

Kyle, I am an elderly disabled woman who absolutely loves all crystals, rocks/minerals and fossils. I am no longer able to go rock hounding because of my disabilities. So, now I watch videos and I especially love your channel. I watch all of your videos and wish I could get out there. But, it is what it is. So thank you for allowing me to live through your enthusiasm for the love of nature and the wonderful creations this earth holds for us to find. I dont have any coral or calcite and wonder if it is possible to purchase a small one from you. If so how? Thank you for your time and keep on finding awesomeness!

[@cristais_energypedraspreciosas]

Seu amor pelos cristais é algo interessante,, vc coleciona cristal?

[@janetphillips8196]

[@kerinholmstrom250]

I too am an elder woman with a love of the natural world. I've been a rockhound since a small child but sadly do to poor health, I have to enjoy it thru the lens of another generation! 😁🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦

[@christinewalley6829]

Michelle I totally agree with you. I am disabled to and can't do as much as I use to but love going on Kyle's Adventures.

[@hockeyrace]

❤️❤️❤️. Great hunt 🤯. Your humor is awesome. When you two go together, I know I’m going to sit and laugh! You two are my favorite to watch on my KZbin channels. Love it! Gorgeous finds. The large phallus shaped find was the best, in my opinion 😂😂😂. Thanks for sharing 🥰🥰. Stay Crystal 💫 Mari.

[@bokunokintama5523]

I love crystallized coral fossils, they are just so beautiful. These remind me of the ones in Missouri.

[@supernaturewee5442]

You guys found TONS! I wish we could have seen them all cleaned up!! 💚💚

[@WILDKYLE]

I made a video on them all cleaned up :)

[@rickross2709]

Love those coral calcite hedgehog nuggets!!

[@graemero5532]

Great video Kyle. You guys in USA are lucky to have so many cool things to hunt for. Derek "The Rock Master" is a fun guy too. I hope to see some of these cleaned and bleached in another video.

[@icatz]

Whoa. Those are truly amazing! TFS 💖🦅🦅

[@TheoKellison]

Dude those things are NUUUUTS! as if the agatized corals and calcite shells werent cool enough, yall got calcite coral too!?😂 love the shape and structure on those things! Absolutely crazy finds brother! You guys killed it! Im sitting in snowy montana having dreams of sunny florida😂 soon i hope! Epic video as always dude!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Yep I gotta come visit Florida. Maybe next year February… we’ll see…

[@jgriggsby-hn3rq]

Fun looking adventure

[@kimconley4679]

The piece at 12:25 looks like a heart. Great finds again, Kyle. I wish I was able to get out and search for treasures. I appreciate you sharing with us.

[@tinastoddard5411]

Okay Mr. Kyle, because of you and Derek, I am now ripping open a bag of extra toasty Cheez-its. Just what I need. More snacks.

[@oaktree3]

My first fossil hunt here in California was ok - found a couple of things. But oh my goodness! I hope I can travel safely one day and find things as beautiful as those calcite crystal-covered fossils. Thank you so much for sharing your travels and excitement - it's helpful on bad days of isolation here.

[@WILDKYLE]

Glad to know my videos can be helpful my friend! Thank you for watching. Keep on hunting!

[@kylaabegglen1275]

Just amazing calcite crystals!😳🤩 You two guys crack me up, total goofballs sometimes, I love it!😂 Thanks for taking us along on your adventures Kyle, so awesome!✌🤠

[@janetpullen5210]

Beautiful shapes what finds

[@happyangler998]

You've lost me forever with the extra toasty flavor 😁

[@Fuminex]

Yes.

[@doctorofart]

Two buckets per person makes the carry much smoother. So does some cut off chunks of garden hose thrown over the handle.

[@maryoneill5070]

You found a lot this trip. Everything is so beautiful just like #wildkyle ✌🏻❤️🙂🙏

[@WILDKYLE]

Thank you Mary you are too kind 😊❤️

[@stephanieanderson5893]

Great video. Wish I could get a little piece from you for my fossil/ rock collection 🙂

[@clintonmorris8222]

Be great to see those under UV

[@Heather-zm6hx]

I had watched one of your previous videos about finding agate and other fossil sea stuffs…found a place to hunt for some and at first I thought was maybe was bs but when I went today I actually did find agate, some agate with drusy, fossilized coral, fossilized sand dollars….but had to stop cause was too hot…can’t wait to go back and find more, was awesome! 😊

[@metteudengaard8831]

You need a little wagon for heavy rocks 😉

[@JenniferMarohn]

Just got done shoveling snow and looked at my phone and there is a video from somewhere much warmer. 🥶

[@TheoKellison]

Im so early! On to watching😂

[@WILDKYLE]

Hey you are earlier than usual! Hahaha!

[@garnettoll9317]

I would love to go there!

[@valiantwarrior4517]

That calcite structure looks just like a coconut frosting my mom made for cake sometimes. Probably not good to try to eat them as frosting OR chicken nuggets. Thanks for the cool video, sir. I’d never seen that stuff before.

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

Cool❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Justin-ci2nq]

dude i've been going to this same spot for years. big for sale sign on the property now. i wish it could be saved and left alone. i've found some crazy stuff back there! love your channel by the way.

[@mikejohnson515]

I've got a piece you could make dirty jokes about....it looks EXACTLY like one!!

[@WILDKYLE]

Oh trust me I know the one you're talking about 😂

[@sterling8298]

When i'm rockhounding for geodes and crystals and I take Everything I can home. That way whatever I don't want I'll give away to people in my neighborhood so they can enjoy crystals also.😊

[@mclane606]

Awesome finds I would suggest to soak in maratic acid for 3 seconds then water wash them and watch the colors come alive especially in that shell piece 🙂👍

[@Mz.Stephanie]

LMAO! I dig your sense of humor

[@matthewgullifor3319]

Off 2the races Kyle and friends..

[@ihadenough1]

Are yall in SW FL? Cause that boat looks like it's the same one I see when we go 4 wheeling......the area looks like it ... omg I just got to the point in the video that you said it. Please let me know cause I would love to go out and dig there.

[@veronicamoore3777]

How deep do you think the ones that are in embedded in the ground are?

[@benitagrattan193]

I can't remember but have you & the Crystal collector gone out looking for Crystal's before??????

[@WILDKYLE]

Yes we have a couple of times! Gotta get with him again soon though!

[@vickimeyer8610]

Can we see these cleaned up?

[@lois4329]

Hope he let you eat 🤣

[@TheInsultInvestor]

Damn Kyle you lookin good these days lol

[@Sirshackleton]

It’s so sad to see all the trash in that beautiful area. 😢

[@WILDKYLE]

It really is terrible :(

[@MareEgretsMoose]

Kyle - any idea if the calcite crystals would be salt water aquarium compatible? Great field trip!

[@wynja77]

I'm wondering something... I have a shark tooth that I bought a long time ago at some fair, but forgot to ask what kind it was... it's curved, very sharp and it has to small teeth on either side, pointing outwards from the main tooth. the main tooth isn't much longer than a thumb's nail, maybe 2 cm... is it possible to identify it from just that...?

[@tjzambonischwartz]

17:45 WILDKYLE: UNCUT AND UNCENSORED

[@laurashibuya]

Some of those pieces looked like spiny pineapple to me.

[@jondavis7948]

Next time you come back to Michigan let me go with ya, lol

[@maryhutt4263]

I like cheer it's too m too, haha don't bite Kyle!! Haha I like that flower too, I like that one too,yellow??its pointed on top like it,are those, red rubies on the end?

[@AlouciaFaye]

What's your method for cleaning them? In case I find some of my own :D

[@teeteepalooza]

so what was the foil at the end about? preservation during the trip? thx!

[@Mz.Stephanie]

i have found lots of those in my moms drive way, lol! It's from where ever they got the rocks for her driveway. What's the best way to clean them up?

[@teeteepalooza]

i squealed “a foot” almost at the same time

[@okay7325]

Frank and beans calcite crystal

[@historyhunter5146]

Will you share what’s city this is in Florida?

[@KathyDonohue]

Is this the same stuff he sent Theo?

[@WILDKYLE]

I think he may have sent him some pieces of this?

[@chrisbgifford7387]

The crystals remind me of shark teeth.

[@davidsanders5788]

what was the aluminum foil for at the end of the video?

[@WILDKYLE]

Wrapping the crystals for transportation so they don't scratch against each other :)

[@maliaecho]

Why do the crystals remind me of Pokemon 😂

[@KCoda1248]

Just water and a toothbrush to clean?

[@thomassmith6344]

Hello Kathy

[@nickalouscromer9082]

17:06 It looks like a duck

[@LogicBeforeAuthorityOFFICIAL]

@WILDKYLE Calcite was the top final layer that was on the Pyramids in Egypt. However is was removed by the Romans and used to build castles and Bacillicas around europe. Calcite has magnetic qualities and and concentrates light if shaped and polished correctly.

[@sleighridefishing9027]

Yes! My favorite fossil and crystal collecting Duo! You guys always put a smile on my face and never disappoint with your finds!

[@MichiganRocks]

Hot dogs, chicken nuggets, pancakes, I think I need a snack now.

[@nancymcshane3501]

I’ll bet they’re not just Fluorescent, but Phosporescent as well!

[@storytimewithunclebill1998]

Amazing how that is just sitting there waiting for you to pick it up. Really nice finds. Was fun to watch. Great video

[@jgriggsby-hn3rq]

Nice

[@kaylanitreasurehunter1262]

good luck friend...i am looking for Indonesian crystal stones..good luck and given physical and spiritual health❤👍🔔🙏

[@lois4329]

….and then out came the cheeseits

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Nice video my friend!! Thank you for sharing, full support from us to you!!

[@gracewashburn8276]

Probably find more meg teeth mastodon teeth or even a hidden cave with all those beautiful crystals and calcified treasures maybe even some ancient Sea urchins or sand dollars

[@kurtmckelvey9478]

I'll stick with my Arkansas crystals !!!!! Nice find's 😕 👍

[@normawinton6832]

I want too see the final bleaching job. That one huge one u found will be awesome with a light attached somehow to it! Fun hunt. Wish I could get one but I'm in missery if ya know what I mean..too far away🥺

[@gracewashburn8276]

Well you should enjoy the beautiful weather because we’re a mat in Massachusetts today’s high is gonna be about 30° the last few weeks I want to see the last two weeks it’s been two below to 10 below so it’s been cold here for a while and it’s finally up in the 30s and it feels like summer

[@TiffYG2133]

12:30 This is my favorite piece, it's almost heart shaped 17:30 that one is very phallic looking 🤣

[@WILDKYLE]

Oh yes. We immediately were laughing at the phallic one 😂

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Hot dogs, chicken nuggets, pancakes, meatballs, (hungry?) and even hedgehogs and porcupines! Great coral crystals and descriptions! Thanks Kyle and Derek! It sure is fun going along on the hunt with you!

[@keithkraushaar8127]

What would it cost for you to ship me that LARGE coral??????

[@justinicenhower9834]

Do you clean up your crystal's in an acid bath overnight? If you don't. Try it in an old crockpot.

[@gracewashburn8276]

I was going to make a comment but I won’t it was a clean comment oh my Lord look at the size of that there’s going to be beautiful as a display piece

[@shrimpycrossing9870]

We're u are it doesn't look like there would be anything to find but what u are find6 are nice.thanks for taking us along

[@towonajohnson3484]

Will you show us these crystals when they're all cleaned up?

[@veronicamoore3777]

Love your long hair. Looks healthy. That being said, I love the way you zoom in on the videos and give us a chance to look.

[@mirkatu3249]

Hah! I always had a feeling that bad food gives a person superpowers, you just confirmed it! :-)

[@peachylife8419]

Bro , I'm so happy is hear your higher pitched voice when you find the beauties. Lol 🤟🤜🤛

[@barbymccain2436]

How much would you charge for a Walmart basket full of calcite?

[@okay7325]

Yes Derek is the keeper to the museum, LOL night at the Museum kind a looks like that dude

[@jonretzlaff5624]

I heard those fluoresce, if they do can you post some pictures?

[@robbybobby6483]

What else does a man look for his whole life...good processed cheese flavored squares. I like the foreshadowing, Derek is a man of mystery. Delicious Calcite clams on the half shell. Is this considered honey calcite? That looks like the Walmart shopping carts they use in the one by me....actually better. I liked Dereks impression of roadkill. But your head in the bucket...what do you call that, WildBile? Lol!

[@SWWisconsinMetalDetecting]

👍 Wow, great video 👍

[@randallw2324]

Great video as always! Employ a company like P r o m o s m!

[@shelygrimmer3344]

Really great vid. Wish there were places up in nwi to find those. I also found that if you soak your rocks in sudsy ammonia and dawn over night they clean really nice and are bright and shiny.

[@beckyjo8745]

Man!!!! Kyle I'm so jealous!!! I have loved rocks and crystals my entire life!!! I would love to have (buy) a few LITTLE pieces!!!! Of different colors. If possible?????????

[@deniseboese6724]

Awesome! First! ♥️♥️

[@WILDKYLE]

Good job Mom! Haha!

[@barbymccain2436]

[@rockreader4298]

Kyle, my fave, as well as yours is the flora-looking piece you found, also the one you called a "flower of calcite" and Derek's hedgehog.

[@The1BlackKrow]

Wow what a great haul of sharp pointy things!! Excited to hear about the museum, looking forward to seeing that put together. Must have cheez-its!! The dynamic duo strikes again. Thanks for taking us all along on the field trip. Would have liked to have a closer look at that shell conglomerate, thought it was very cool also. :D

[@gracewashburn8276]

Oh my goodness you got Derick the rock master with you oh fantastic I can just imagine the shells with all that Drewsey Crystal in them and the calcites I know we’re going to someplace special today and you’ll have to send me something I can’t stand that you guys are finding all these goodie goodies and I’m snowbound up here in Massachusetts yuck

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Those are awesome fossils, Kyle! Calcite is gorgeous!💖

[@cristais_energypedraspreciosas]

Verdade, são lindas mesmo

[@anniemenard5578]

Niceeeee! Cristal + fossil ❤️🤟👍👏

[@largent45]

Wow! Those are absolutely awesome finds! And of course, everything is made more fun when Derek the rock master, is with you! Those crystal corals were amazing, and it looked like they were everywhere! Im handicapped and live vicariously through people like you! Thank you for all your hard work and videos!

[@tinastoddard5411]

I love calcite. I hope you show them after they're bleached. Regardless, they're beautiful as is. You two are so funny.

[@naomimakin1908]

Oh Gosh where to start... You and TheRockMaster bring out the best and worst in each other an absolute joy to watch.... AND those crystals man they're beautiful.

[@MatthewBaran]

More more more!!! Loved the finds. Thanks wk!!
