The gem museum in Franklin is a great source of information. They also plan trips up there to teach people.
I guess it's quite off topic but does anyone know of a good website to stream newly released movies online ?
@Trevor Louis flixportal
@Niko Aldo Thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it!
@Trevor Louis you are welcome :D
The green rock/mineral is called smargadite. Clay County is well known for its beautiful Ruby in Smargadite specimens.
I'm currently enrolled in a undergraduate Geoscience program. I live in Asheville NC not very far from where you guys were I think. Id love to get out and check things out.
You can go in any creek in that area and highbank with A suction dredge and find great gold and other gemstone..
I live in NC and would love to make a trip out there to do some rock housing. I’m new to it and just love it
Looks very interesting! Can't wait for a follow up video!
SC I would want at least a two pound hammer but of course then you have to swing it. I never heard of these rocks they are pretty. Great video buddy
David Raines definately need a mallet when I go back
Ben has a good eye on him from watching his Indian relic videos.
Is this what is called float?Can you trace the float back to the source?
Thanks for the video. I won't sat that I am an expert on the locations, but I have been there many dozens of times and have brought back a lot of nice material. If you go back drop me a message and maybe we can meet up there.
how can i message you? ive been looking for a way to reach out to you but this is the only way so far ive been able to find
Had a lot of fun! We’ll get back up there soon!
Where exactly is this. I love in franklin. I can't find it. Would love to go.
You can google chunky gal mountain. That’s where it is.
Wow! That is awesome! Looked like quite the hike there! Very beautiful there too!Glad you found some of what your looking for! I look forward to seeing what kind of equipment you take with you next time! Thank you for sharing! God bless! O:-)
Good to see you two together. Great job on the video too Greg!
I live in this area. My new fascination. I love stones. Even the part your breaking off is beautiful and used in other ways. I just see beauty in the rocks.
Looks like fun, right up my alley!
I live in clay county not far from here just now getting into these gems. I was born and raised in the area great video guys
Keep in mind if you think your going to make money rockhounding your wrong. You do rockhounding for the fun, hobby, and adventures you get. You'll spend lots more money looking for them than just going put and buy the rough stones on line.
It’s not the looking that cost money but tools to cut with, polisher etc. you can find some great finds. We have so many rivers and nature around to find many neat rocks. It doesn’t cost to just find them unless you go to the mines you have to pay.
Does any of that have value once you shine it up?
We take tours up there at night with UV lights, and the rubies glow red like a stop light!
Have done that. Cool experience!
Nice to see you both! You guys need to do a collaboration there with MeMiner!!
I'd be game for that. I might be in NC next week. ;-)
Get proper hammers and safety glasses.You don't want to loose an eye.
and bicycles
Great , beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.
