Gem Club Series Part 1 We are in with the New Jersey Gem Clubs that sponsored this trip. Clubs are a great way to meet new people and go out to new locations to dig crystals! Check out these clubs on their website and facebook pages!
no nO NO!! You can't stop this video after just 9 and a halv minute....🥺 Many videos out there on You Tube are long enough after 10 minutes, but yours are not.... I could sit here and watch videos from you for hours👌 so remember that next time sir😁 - Btw, thank you so much for sharing this mate🙏 Excellent work👍X1000
Just caught this video. I have always loved crystals but never thought about going out and look for my own until recently. I actually live in Pennsylvania. Between the Allegheny range and Laurel Highlands area. My husband and I are looking forward to warmer weather so we can go rock hounding. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with everyone. Hopefully we have as much luck as those who were at this site with you.
I am so surprised! I have been living in Pennsylvania my entire life and collect rocks I have never knew there are Amethyst here I always thought they were only down south!
I am amazed how close to the surface the crystals were, take a shovel and a pick and get digging lol. Some lovely clusters and singles and those really dark ones are a colour I've never seen before Bryan, like you said almost black!! Thank you for sharing your time with us, take care my friend Mary-Ellen UK
I love the 1 piece you showed at the end, where the purple of the amethyst runs up the sides to the tip. So beautiful! I have a piece that is a slab and almost every point is like that. Very wonderful to watch your videos Always 💜🙌💎💜
I am so glad I discovered your channel. I have always loved rocks. Collected rocks from all my trips when I was younger. I like the fact also that you give good information about the websites and places to go. It’s always been on my bucket list to go to some of these places but I’ve never been able to do. I’ve been going back through all your videos and watching them. Please keep them coming thank you
Hey Crystal Collector! First, I just want to say thank you for your awesome channel. My wife and I find you super fun to watch and we catch ourselves saying Whaaaat! all the time now. The purple heart mine is fascinating! We live in South Dakota and are seriously considering taking a road trip to a public dig thanks to you. Here, we go looking for fairburn agates but we'd love to find some gemmy crystals. Keep up the great work. Much support and respect.
Thank you so much for getting me out there and look at treasure like these after so many years trying to deal with depression your video really help me like some other RU-vid people I became a treasure hunter
Sweeet brother! Yea there is lots of fun stuff to do in this world, sometimes we get set back and makes it tough to enjoy them. I’m glad your back having a good time🙌💎🙏😊
So cool! We are in SC now and hope to find a place to have a digging adventure! Our options are limited so we might have to check out the diamond hill mine. We want to stay in SC. :)
Great big hello-hugs from me and mom in Pennsylvania! Mom’s a big fan of yours. She and I both got SO excited when we saw you did a video in PA - If only we knew you were here! However, this looks maybe like Lancaster-ish which isn’t ‘exactly’ where we are. Still super fun tho! 🌷
🤗🤗🤗 Yes it’s in the area, but the only way to get theirs to the clubs. Check out the Virginia location on Digging now wants to do the video, it will be open to the public all the time!
I absolutely love your videos. I would love to have you come down to Llano County in Texas. The river beds are covered in quartz and Micah. Also if you're lucky you can find blue and Imperial topaz. I live in Austin which is a 2 hour drive from the main topaz area. Keep up the good work.
I grew up in Lancaster county and every year, after teh Amish plow you can literally walk any fields and find crystals. I have pulled a lot of amethyst and smolkies from areas just south of Rt. 30 in Paradise twp. This REALLY looks like that area... Excellent video(s)!! Please keep up the great work!
@@SCgurl1213 I tihnk it's cool if you get the farmers permission. I grew up in Kinzers and you could literally walk the fields and pull crystals. Best time is in the spring though after the first plow and when the corn starts coming up.
Amazing area! like as dig up sweet potatoes. I think that amethyst under this field detached from parent rock, transported, and deposited low-gradient area or under the action of denudation, transported by water, deposited in this field. First is eluvial deposit and second is alluvial deposit.
I've been watching your older videos, and I've never seen anyone who can just walk through a big pile of dirt and find crystals like you do. I think you misnamed your channel. You should call yourself the "Crystal Whisperer."
This is one one of my favorite locations to collect. I have never seen such large pieces come out of there o like on this video. For those that know, please don’t divulge. It is on private land. Love your channel btw
@@TheCrystalCollector Back when I was growing up in Pittsburgh I would have joined a club to do this if I had to sell my blood for dues. All I really had was the ballast on railroad tracks to look through. They used crushed granite full of very interesting pegmatitic inclusions. I wish I still had some of the cryrals I found. Pieces of what I now know to be calcite 3 inches across water clear! But, I wanted to be the one to actually dig it out. Now, I am retired, rebuilding my Xterra and planning. Your videos have been extremely helpful in adding to must go destinations. Thanks dude!
Hello my friend, I love your videos , this is what I want to do when I'm ready. Thank RU-vid for putting him on my suggestion feed now I'm so hooked.😊 I just have one question, I've been watching some videos of some severe Rocky landslides, and then they finally settle after the disaster. Is that a good time to mine for gems after a whole side of a mountain just slid down? I was just curious. Thank you
Just promise me you're not gonna retire anytime soon..........I need to work on getting back strength and mobility SOON and would LOVE to follow you on a dig!!!!!! PA........my home base!
My local mineral group (Lancaster fossil and mineral) brings us here at least once a year. This is one of our “backyard” localities! I believe I see a familiar face.. Kerri!
@@TheCrystalCollector Thanks! It’s a crazy cool spot! So can’t wait to hit this up again, as well as the local gap nickel mine. Upon some my research on rocks and minerals in PA. I stumbled upon a prospect in Ashland, PA called the smoky mountain prospect. Mindat shows that this location has produced some absolutely gorgeous smokies. I’m digging deep to find more info but hitting some blocks. Have you heard anything about this location? Also, this has been said by many others already. But I greatly appreciate your videos! Before my wife and I traveled from PA to SC to dig.. we watched your Diamond hill video on repeat haha. I would say that it definitely prepared us for it! That heat though Saturday!
Absolutely blows my mind that they are literally just in the ground like that... I thought for sure you'd have to pry them out of large chunks of rock matrix, but no, you can pretty much just peel them out of the dirt!! :) I am planning my first excavation in San Diego because of your videos, I am so excited! :)
Looks like the Bart Township, PA, ive heard some used to find Amethyst off Mt. Pleasant rd, Its all just farms though, nothing public, you would have to know someone there and get permission, and after crops are planted im sure you wouldnt be able to look, untill after they are harvested.
What part of PA is this? Just went on an Obsidian hunt this weekend in Schuylkill county. Walked creek beds and scored 10 lbs of Anthropogenic Obsidian
I knew there were amethyst in PA. If you go searching where 2b stone has been brought in from the local quarry, you will find a little. My question is how did the amethyst come to be deposited here? Is this the only place you can find it in a field in PA?
Me and my daughter would love to do this kind of thing she is so interested in stones and such we have a collection but she would love to find some her self I hope one of the clubs let's kids in too
I didn't know you could find stuff like this in Pennsylvania very close by to me... I'm sure if I research it I can find a public mine to dig..those dark amethyst are absolutely amazing remind me of a juicy purple grape.. gosh I want some now... and to be able to pull it out of the ground with your own hands what pleasure!! and do you keep all of your finds?
There is no public mind for amethyst in Pennsylvania but I’m working one in Virginia this week, I highly suggest making a visit here. I’m turning around a bunch of piles in the amethyst are coming out all over the place, very similar to the Pennsylvania spot but way better even, and it’s open to the public for $15 per day. I’m gonna be here for a couple more days, maybe three but it’s open all the time🙏🙌
I'm just outside Harrisburg and I've always wanted to go digging. I just have no idea where to go. Whenever I've asked people for help on where to go.....they laugh and just say good luck any suggestions?
Where in PA can you dig for Amethyst?my youngest boy(12) is so into this and I would love to take him on a dig... even if it was a bit of a roadtrip to get too. Can anyone give me some information/locations? Thanks in advance
