Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: If I were able bodied...I would so BE THERE with Bryan, Matrix, and club!!! Thank you for letting me experience this event remotely via RU-vid. Bryan, Matrix, and my fellow rockhounders...peace, safety, and best wishes to you all.

@William Coleman That's the right attitude.!!! 🤜🤛💯🙏🏻

@WavyOnMobile Год назад

If you are wheelchair bound by chance, the owners told me it is wheelchair accessible! I'm sure they wouldn't mind digging you a few buckets, but I could bring someone along to assist you! Happy Hunting!

@Tina-mt9cl Год назад

Still worth the trip in a wheelchair if you can team up with one or two more able bodied rockhounds to go hunting with. Easy access, not down a long trail. Not to mention while you are there you can visit the nearby Gem and Mineral Museum in Franklin, NC. Get in contact with some locals that share the same passion in your area if you aren't too far away and you will surely find an easygoing crew to team up with for a final expedition or two :)

Matrix is the cutest little boy in the entire world. He sure loves his daddy! And we sure love watching y’all!!

That dog probably doesn’t realize how lucky he is to travel the country and hang outdoors and socialize with lot’s of enthusiast rock hounds. What a life! Matrix is a lucky dog. 😊

I used to have a little dog your little buddy would have loved. She looked just like him. I miss her.

I SEE ME!!!!!!!!! The owner said the next time we come out to find him and he will take us to the old piles!! Much love! Had a great dig!! Willow

@TheCrystalCollector Год назад

I can’t wait to go back, I’m thinking this fall, and I’m gonna really try to do a lot of buckets! We plan to go back on the back section!

@WillowGypsy13 Год назад

Most definitely! I put my blacklight on some of the rocks from here I was showing you when we were there. I've got one that glows light pink on one part. No idea what that means lol😅

@50zezima Год назад

I saw how your channel has grown so much recently. Thats so awesome and I love to see passionate people get progress like that. Ive been subscribed only for a couple years now. Love your videos and I always find myself coming back. You got me interested in gem mining a couple years ago but I still haven't had the chance to do it. One day it'll happen! Good luck on your adventures and thanks for the content!

@scottsharp7562 Год назад

It was a awesome day of digging. Very fun and dirty. 😁

@teresawilliams2855 Год назад

Thank you so much for making that weekend the best. Getting to meet you and talk a little was awesome. 😊

@SuperSushidog 5 месяцев назад

A few years back I found a 25-carat octagonal ruby there. It cut out to a 6 1/2 carat star ruby. Absolutely gorgeous! It was a fun experience too.

@robertporch8895 10 месяцев назад

Been there. We took our kids when they were growing up several times. Still have they stones we found. Love it!

@TheKimworldwide Год назад

That's awesome! Would love to do that sometime... Thank you for sharing all your adventures Bryan! Give little adorable Matrix my love 🙏♥️ Much respect always!

@imari2305 Год назад

My mother (RIP) was from St. Matthews S.C. Beautiful rubies and sapphires. I never knew about "salted" and "unsalted" mines. Thanks Brian for always taking us along on your adventures.

@tomcurl8034 Год назад

Franklin North Carolina is also home to the annual gem and lapidary wholesale show which is not as big as the show in Tucson but it’s the next biggest after Tucson and if you can’t go to Tucson but you can go to Franklin North Carolina. It’s worth your while. Franklin, North Carolina is also home to the worlds largest sapphire in the museum section of the local gem shop.

@merk9569 Год назад

I am from NC but from the eastern side. I did not know that we had a big gem show. Thank you so much for posting that information! I can’t travel to Tucson but I now live only 5.5 hours from Cherokee. Road trip!

@Kensh1D Год назад

Appreciate the info. Would be nice to find a hiddenite specimen.

@andrewwong3825 Год назад

It will be great if you can post some videos on your cutting & polishing of the gems you found, and show us those amazing finds 👍

@rogersmith7475 Год назад

Yes!💪 love you guys! And MATRIX 🐕 too! So excited and proud of you guys!

@biggrex Год назад

My family ran the Jacob's Ruby Mine from around 1995 to 2001. (Right next to Shuler, Holbrook and Gibson, the 3 original mines.) Most of the unsalted mines are gone. Glad there's a little left. The heyday was probably 1950's to 1990's although lots of salted mines the last few decades in that time range.

@TheCrystalCollector Год назад

Oh cool, that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!

@minahammonds7511 Год назад

You should visit hogg mine in Georgia. Im going in autumn. They have classic crystals, tormaline, emerald i think or amethyst, baryl, aquamarine, and blue star quartz.

we used to go there in the summers as kids..my two brothers went back 2 yrs ago and got some of the most beautiful garnets you ever saw..one was so big it made a ring and earrings so nice set in gold art deco style you can find so much there!! love it

@mannyricketson4517 11 месяцев назад

Hey guy I had to resubscribe for some reason always love the finds

@jameswelch1054 Год назад

I love your videos, and 1 a week excites me. Are any of the sapphires "facet grade"? Great that the mine is not salted. I just watched a meMiner video, and his dog Shelby, also is a rockhound. I was thinking that he and Matrix, would become good friends, because they both love rockhounding.

@JeffBrazeel-fe4wc 7 месяцев назад

Really Great Find if that Sapphire turns out to be a Star Sapphire. Great find!

@susansmith6680 Год назад

Rubies, Sapphires and Matrix oh my!!!🎉

@mikelawrence274 Год назад

You should have your own TV show, they could call it "Geology Rocks!". Great video as always mate.

@sethchapman8001 Год назад

I am also from SC. I have thought about going to this mine, but was worried it would be salted, so glad to hear it is not!

@JohnWarner-lu8rq 10 месяцев назад

That looks like a great location to find gold, too.

@anjaanja7684 Год назад

Great video! Looks like so much fun 😊 Just wanted to say that ruby and many other gemstones are okay to put in your mouth if you really have to lol 😉, however there are quite a few toxic rocks out there plus sometimes theres toxic stuff in the dirt naturally or via polution.

@Dontworryaboutit45 Год назад

Do more of this! This is a great video

@tranceemerson8325 Год назад

hoo boy, now you're getting the real big stuff! this is the biggest thing since your diamond!

@robertbanks5762 Год назад

When you shake down the stones and wash them, the gems go to the bottom. Yes a piece of furniture foam cut to fit your screen and flip it over on the foam. Gems will be on top.

@robertmaxey2158 Год назад

My wife and I stopped there on our way back to Massachusetts last year. The hole was allot smaller then but we still found some. This year we are off to Herkimer NY for some Diamonds

@ryanburns3921 Год назад

Had no idea that you're in SC like me. New to the channel. Thought you were from Arkansas for some reason. Just got back from Franklin, NC. Have you checked out the Rose Creek Mine up there? You can dig your own native or get salted buckets. Can't wait to go back and check out some of the other mines. I just found out there's a mine in Antreville, SC. Diamond Hill mine. Might check that out sometime.

@KCoda1248 Год назад

I wish I could have been there Bryan. Looks like so much fun! How far down did you have to dig to get to that garnet layer? Was there dirt to dig as opposed to mud? Was one better than the other for finding crystals? Loved it!

@KCoda1248 Год назад

Oh - Also about how old are these gems and did that gray piece end up being a sapphire?

@WavyOnMobile 7 месяцев назад

No, thats a piece of rutile@KCoda1248

@ElGatoLoco698 Год назад

I've got about 1000 carats of a deep red facet grade ruby boules sitting here. I've toyed around with trying to cab some of it. It's just too damn hard. It's so hard it takes ages to even tumble polish.

@kathykirstine281 Год назад

When you have such small rubies, sapphires and garnets, what do you do with them? I assume they’re too small to be cut and may have fractures.
