That's a fun place, spent a little over 2 hours digging and filled a 5 gallon bucket last time I went
Awesome! It's crazy how much you can find. Thanks for watching.
Really Really cool
Thank you!
Beautiful sharing 😊
Thank you!
We watched your LIfe videos too/a blessing to my daughter during Covid. Thx!
Aww, thanks Rhonda! That makes me so happy! 😁
Amazing crystals found
Thank you!
Super rad video! Dang that place is sweet! Great video 🤩

🙌🙌🙌
Love the video. Have been gem mining in North Carolina. Ready to do this now!
Awesome! I would love to go other places to dig. Thanks for watching!
Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain
😅
These crystals are AWESOME! I definitely need to go down to Oklahoma and mine the salt flats some time!
It's a fun experience! I'm hoping to mine in Arkansas next!
Katie, need to stop at road cuts. Never know what you may find.
One place in Arizona, in a road cut, was not expecting, beautiful Aragonite crystals.
Arkansas road cuts, found beautiful fossils embedded. Many places to check out. Have fun.
I was recently out there and I was surprised of the crystals that I got from out of that area. As you said they are very delicate when they come out. It was well worth the trip going out there.
Glad it was worth the trip! It's a fun experience.
Exactly.
Just came home today and got 7 little samples 🤷♀️
Aww bummer! Any good ones?
Grew up about 10 miles from there... dug crystal many many times
Very cool!!
Who says you can only take home ten pounds. I'll take home as much as i please.😈
Thanks so much for watching. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife lists the rules for the Crystal Digging. Here's the link! www.fws.gov/refuge/salt-plains/crystal-digging :-) Hope you find lots!!
What do you do with the crystals once you find them?
I made jewelry!

Great video, we really enjoyed it, except for the flashes to black and white and back to color, we found those annoying.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback. Appreciate it!
Gyp crystals are about everywhere and not nearly as far away.
