Helmet dudes need to make an alarm clock so I can wake up as stoked as they are.

Aquamarine is so damn pretty! Massive thanks to all of the miners that unearth these beautiful specimens for us to enjoy.

I don’t know how I only just found this series but it’s so good! I’m so glad there’s a lot more of it to watch. I’m so glad Tracie is okay, she’s a very strong woman. Thank you for making this series, can’t wait to see the rest!

I'm no miner but I am a Jeeper, and the road up Mount Antero is one of the most spectacular Jeep trails I've driven. I guess we have you folks to thank for building that road and making sure the Forest Service keeps it open. Thanks for doing that and helping to ensure this spectacular mountain remains open to public access.

I really enjoyed this series, the quality of it was so professional and it was really interesting to learn more about where these gems come from--I'd love to follow the lives of these Prospectors the other half of the year when the season is done. My favorite was watching the smaller two-man teams such as Ian/Jason their ethics on the outdoors and wildlife is to be admired.

@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230 3 года назад

I too love this series. The people are real with real problems and real accomplishments. They are a tough breed to work in such a place that is both beautiful and dangerous. The director and cameramen are brave as well to be filming in this harsh environment and we appreciate and it adds another level of awe to the show. So glad to see the show is continuing. Keep them coming!!

Watching often goldrush, Aussie opal hunters. But your videos belong on that list also. So real and exciting to watch. I hope the videos will boost your store sales and open new futures, i think people would pay to prospect alongside you guys. I hope all is well and more videos will be out soon.

@terryo1463 4 года назад

Ian and Jason, I like how you both get excited for each other and share in finding aqua and how happy and positive you both are. Aquamarine is my birthstone and I love it. Thanks guys for mining it!

@EquippedDelight 4 года назад

Thank you so much Teresa for the comment, and for watching. We are very honored and excited to work for the Cardwell family. And with that being said, we are very happy. my buddy and I just have a lot of love for life in general. And with that love for life and opportunities we carry that with us wherever we go. We get so excited and so happy to find anywhere between tiny millimeter stones to inch stones.. we are just energetic type.. And with a short window of time to spend on that mountain. all we have is 3 or 4 months. So we work hard to find such great stones and it is truly fun and hard work. If you are ever in Colorado and you would like some aqua go to the beautiful town of Buena Vista Colorado and on main street there is a shop called Mount Antero Treasures on Main Street. They have all kinds of Jewelry in Aquamarine you can imagine. Or you can also get a hold of Ian and I to get some as well. We are all on Facebook 😁. Thanks again so much for the love and watching!

Love the back story how your grandfather pioneered and created a lifeline for so many families, and the surveys which gave back to your country -patriotism at its finest. Wish i lived in the states so i could see first hand the geography where you work and maybe visit your store. Family business is the only business to be in, thats why im doing what im doing gives me something to pass on to my little ones 💯. Best of luck in your future endeavours, and i wish your wife a speedy recovery (probably years behind lol)

@somastarscreations 4 года назад

Take a very soft bristled brush with you, it's a good way to GENTLY remove the water (Big Boy) so you can see what you are dealing with before you run your hands across it, I'd love to see what the lay of the minerals is before you start taking them out. And I believe a gentle brush will allow you to see the blue in the mud. Good pockets are so rare, but good pictures of them (the pockets in situ) are equally rare and good for mineralogical studies!
