Dedicated to my Mom - she was diagnosed with terminal stage 4 breast cancer around the time of this trip and passed away 2 months later, on December 13, 2023 ❤️ Life is short - it's amazing how quick things can change. Tell your loved ones you love them.
In this video, we purchase a private pocket dig at Twin Creek Crystal mine, located in the Quartz Crystal Capitol of the WORLD : Mt Ida, Arkansas. This is by far, in my opinion, the BEST crystal mine in Arkansas - from the $25 area which has dozens of crystals - to the pocket digs that leave you going home with actual buried treasures. 💎
Watch as my dog Izzy and make a dream come true and dig up some absolutely stunning crystals as clear as glass, deep in the Ouachita National forest, that no human has ever seen or touched. Twin Creek is one of only a few mines that offer pocket digs, and it is the only mine that lets you keep ALL that you find, no questions asked.
Pricing starts out at $300 for small pockets with smaller jewelry sized crystals and goes into the thousands of dollars for larger pockets. This video is what you can SOMEWHAT expect from a $500-$1000 pocket IF YOU WORK HARD AND KNOW HOW TO WORK POCKETS. These are not for beginner level diggers. Contact Bobby by phone to book a pocket dig. He works all day and cell service is hard to come by at the mine so call after 5pm. 870-490-2890 .
Tools recommended : sledge hammers , chisels, pry bars/rock bars, small plastic pry tools, gloves, safety glasses, boots, pants, buckets, newspaper to wrap the good crystals, food & drinks, Deer Antler.
There are a few primitive campsites east and west of Twin Creek literally right down the road. The top 3 campgrounds nearby that I recommend are 1. Crystal Recreation Area, 2. Big Fir Public Use Area and 3. Hickory Nut Mountain. They are all FREE, first come first serve. 14 day maximum stay. Crystal Recreation area has a spring to fill your water jugs . It comes out cold and drinkable, not steaming hot like in Hot Springs. There is also another spring down the road at "Collier Springs". I drink it daily while in the area and fill empty jugs so I can bring some home...... $0 for drinking water all year long and we make our coffee with Ouachita natural spring water back in Illinois.
