@maxinemarcia - Cape May diamonds are clear quartz the size of tiny jelly beans. You can see through them (though distorted). If you were combing Sunset Beach, you surely would have found them there. Hang in there, I hope the heat exhaustion doesn't deter you from beach combing again. Thanks for watching - Paul

@@dirtsandandrocks it won't!! thanks.

@myeyesseainblue - They're pretty tough to find this far north. If I remember correctly, we found that one on West Cape May beach (on the other side of the ferry inlet). Good luck the next time you're out beach combing and thanks again for watching - Paul

@@dirtsandandrocks Today I uploaded the video of our trip last week and we hit Island Beach State Park. You can see the load of shells on the beach and I wish we would have spent more time there combing the beach. Towards the end of the video I show what we found on and off camera. Got friends in Cape May and will definitely hit those beaches soon.

@myeyesseainblue - Way to go!! Finding a sand dollar is not easy. I'm super happy for you. Thanks for watching and thanks also for the comment - Paul

@tigereye508 - Thank you! I think we timed that visit just right - low tide, hardly any other visitors, clear weather - If you're ever up in that area, you should definitely check it out. It won't be a disappointment. Thanks for watching - Paul

@mikefaller5840 - I'm happy to read that we're not alone when it comes to rockhounding that old mine area. It's worth checking out every so often. Thanks for watching - Paul

@WreckerGirl-ec2sc It WAS in pretty good shape, but now it's been demolished. Thanks for watching - Paul

@abpccpba - Agreed... putting a RR on a beach is slapping Mother Nature in the face. I'm happy she outlasted the RR. She always will. BTW, did you know your TH-cam handle - abpccpba - is a palindrome? I reckon you did. Thanks for watching - Paul

I’m fairly certain the beach was not there when the tracks were built.

@williamthompson4171 Wow! Thank you for the recommendations! Those are all a bit of a drive for us, but I'll keep them all in mind for the next time I'm up in those areas. Thanks for watching and please check back again soon - Paul

@EthanLenz-gb7pv That video is from a few years back and I truly don't remember what else I found those trips. I do remember there were a couple of plastic toys, leather shoes and auto parts I found. I know I didn't show them in the wrap up because they honestly weren't that interesting. Check out the dump digging videos from this past winter I posted - it's the same dump as this video. Thanks for watching and the comment - Paul

@scottmorrow7552 - Thanks for the intel! I'll keep an eye out for them this winter when I head back there again, unfortunately dump digging season is over here in Pennsylvania. Too green, too ticky anyway, thanks for watching and the comment - Paul

@coldpond - Love Higbee Beach, love Sunset Beach, Love Cape May! Sad to see the crate in ruins. Anyway, thanks for watching and the comment - Paul

@masonmercmetaldetecting - Thanks for watching. Good luck next time you're out with your metal detector. I hope you find silver - Paul

No one saved it. It was buried in a glass dump. I put it back where it belonged. If it turns to sand, then that's what's supposed to happen.

The first line of the description says it was - WINTER FOOTAGE -

@chrissettles4127 - Thanks for watching and the comments, I appreciate the info. Please check back again sometime soon - Paul

@nikidgm18 - Yes! I guess it could be. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment - Paul

@jackieh925 - I found two that day but haven't found another since then. I think they are a pretty rare find in NJ. But it's sad too. Thanks for the comment and thanks also for watching - Paul

@markmcintosh9448 - Thanks for watching, and the comment -Paul

@KT-rl1dy - I'm sorry I don't tell you where I am in this video (or most of my videos), but if you do a little research on the internet, you can find that location pretty easily. My fear is that if I tell people exactly where we're rockhounding on the internet, that place will get crowded and eventually ruined by too many people going there. Thanks for watching though - Paul

@j.roach-evans1010 - Thank you! You understand exactly where I'm coming from - Paul

@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340 - Hello from across the Atlantic! Thanks for watching and the comment. Please check back again sometime soon - Paul

@j.roach-evans1010 - Thanks for watching and the comment - Paul

@j.roach-evans1010 - Hey, thanks very much for the subscription. Thanks also for the ID! We normally beachcomb in NJ, so shark's eyes are more prevalent there. Thanks for watching and please check back again soon - Paul

Happy to help! I'm always learning too 🙂

@yahwhay - Here are a few tips - Stay off private property unless you get the owner's permission. You can't take anything from any National Park, so Valley Forge is off limits even though the rockhounding there is pretty good (look, but DON'T take). State parks, township parks and waterways are you're best choice for rockhounding. We try to be very selective and only take a few samples (taking too much gets heavy anyway). If you have access to a spot and can make return trips, you can even return samples you've photographed and checked out already, but make sure it goes back where you found it and not someplace else (otherwise you're making a mess for future rockhounders) . Finally, try carrying out a bucket of trash while you're out collecting. There's never any shortage of trash practically anywhere you go. Waterways are the worst in my opinion which is pretty sad. Thanks for watching - Paul

@williamstewart1378 - Wow! way to go William! They are tough to find. I hope yours was in better condition then mine! At least I hope you treated it with more care then I did. Good luck with your next hunt - Paul

@@dirtsandandrocks I wish I could share a picture it's Awesome in my book

Thank you@@dirtsandandrocks

@kiddkarnelian3723 - Wow! It sounds like you're a pro! Thanks for watching my video and the comments. I will check out those spots you mention the next time I'm there. Thanks for the information - Paul

@masonmercmetaldetecting - Thanks for checking out my channel and the sub - Paul

@airosasco3639 - Thank you for watching and the positive comment! I appreciate the encouragement. There's more too come - Paul

@lizarrrdbeth - Thanks for that info. I checked it out on line and it looks like they don't use it anymore? Thanks for watching and the comment - Paul

@coldpond - Thanks for watching & the comment - Paul

@chrissettles4127 - I don't take stuff from the abandoned places I check out. I just record the decay and waste before they get demolished and are gone forever. Thanks for watching

I thought that was a cool find too!

No, it was a valve stem cover

Welcome - Thanks for the subscription

@chrissettles4127 - Wow, thanks for the information.

@aborchert7 Wow! That's TWO heavy collections! Thanks for watching & for the comment - Paul

@spudspuddy - Carrying out two buckets of bottles was plenty for me. That dump isn't the easiest to access - lots of bushwhacking and it's at least a mile from a place to park, so we had to be selective about what we took. Anyway, thanks for watching & the comment - Paul

@@dirtsandandrocks ok didn't know where it was, i often sell dump stuff crafters buy bags and boxes of shards for mosaics, driftwood, broken glass, they can't be bothered to leave there houses lol
