We had a great time and the property there is beautiful!

Thanks! The campground is actually owned by different people. It's a pretty nice campground though!

Yeah he had his 4 low locked in😆

Lexington County, South Carolina

Thanks!

I didn't see that! I will have to check it out!

@@ScottandLauren it's on the rock nose eyes

Cheeks and mouth

Chin..looks like a native face any way they are beautiful

We have spoken to a few people in Franklin, and things weren't too terrible for them. They certainly have a long road ahead of them.

Hello! Glad you enjoyed the views and thanks for watching! Looks like we need to take a trip to Texas 🤩

Many areas seem to be recovering quickly, but some areas will certainly take some time to get back to anything remotely normal. Here is an update from the Franklin Chamber of Commerce page on Facebook... facebook.com/share/p/xtrHMy6Q11udrkLp/

That's crazy! I guess they didn't want anyone getting to them. Lol! I'm guessing safety reasons?

Cool Deal! I'll be in touch 👍

Thank you! 😊

Thank You!

Thank you!

The pieces I've seen seem to but we've never polished any ourselves.

Thank You! Glad you enjoyed the video 👍

That's cool! I think they're really neat!

Same

Yeah I think it would be a good idea. I guess we would have to work out the details for sure. I also think having a live stream or something at meetings would be great for those who can't be there.

I reached in and just grabbed some so I don't even know what's there! Glad ya liked them and yeah post em up!

Thank you! We have not had that one worked yet, but we do have it safely stored away for the future. 🙂 We just love the variety that you can bring home from Rio Doce Gem Mine! We really need to start learning how to cab these pieces ourselves!

That's awesome. I'm sure you have an amazing collection. I hear those were the hay days of rockhounding... before so many areas became virtually impossible to access. Thanks for the encouragement and for tuning in!

Hello Lee! It's good to hear from you. Yes, we are so thankful for people like Mr. Patty! November should be a great time to visit the quarry. Good luck out there. I know you'll both find some great pieces to bring home.

You know we were looking! Lol! There were some nice river rocks out there!

Thanks for watching! Definitely worth it 😜

We didn't see any crystals with points but there was some kyanite I believe at the summit probably others also but from my understanding you can't collect from a state Park.

It's amazing how often rocks look like food and food starts looking like rocks!

Sweet! Have fun and be safe!

Yup thanks for the video, we have 2 kids and were wondering about the hike difficulty... this helps!

This is a great trail for kids. To get to the Mica Mine you have to cross the creek at the observation deck. If you follow the trail to the right when you get to the top of the stairs at the falls you can hike to the top of the falls.

How was the trip? Hope everything went well!

Thank You!

I could definitely see that working well!

The rain definitely helps! It makes for a bit of a messy day but it brings out the color and helps to reveal those crystal pockets!

We do have protection but we've never had to worry about using it too much. But it's always better to be safe than sorry!

@@ScottandLauren I watch too many horror movies & cryptic shows.. Terror In The Woods made me a believer!! ❤️

Yes he did!

No, unfortunately, there are no swimming areas. They do allow fishing and kayaking.

The water was very refreshing! We bottled some for ourselves and some for family back home. I already wish we would have brought home more. We will definitely be making another stop here the next time we are in the area.

Yeah it's definitely gonna be a hot one! That lady broke out the smaller chunk and handed it to me and I was like nice then she turned around with that huge chunk! 🤩 She found that digging during the eclipse dig. There's definitely some good stuff at Diamond Hill for sure!

Yeah, I’ve seen a bunch of nice stuff coming out of there lately

This was our third trip to the Emerald Hollow Mine and the first time we actually found crystals. We were very excited to come back to the spot where we had good luck but unfortunately they had chained the area off and had it posted Restricted area No Trespassing. It was very disappointing and we didn't have any luck finding crystals. It's a beautiful location though. Hope you have better luck than we did! Maybe we're not looking in the right place but we have only found crystals one time out of four trips.

@@ScottandLauren the best and easiest way is the sluice buckets. You don't have to dig get the ones already there. That's what I do. I typically walk out with LOTS of crystals and gemstones
