Thanks for hanging out friends! 🙌
Love your channel bud! Thanks for taking us along!!
What a fun dig!
Are you heading to Northern California?
Wish I could have joined you.
Yes!! ✨💎🙌
Will you take a look at what I have cuz I have no clue what they are
The energy of crystal diggers is so wholesome. They all just go "oh lawd look at this beautiful piece"
As kids our parents drug us out to hunt for rocks. About 60 years ago it was out to the Pala Mission area to find tourmalines. We found lots of trap door spiders. No tourmaline. We gave up, went back to the car to go home. I almost stepped on a piece of pale lavender sparkling stone with intense pink needles of tourmaline. We knew what we were looking for. We went home with several pink pieces and one rock with green. We didn’t dig anything. Found everything in a parking lot with no one around.
Oh wow!!! What an experience!!!
one mans trash is another mans treasure ...
Finders keepers! huh? XD

De cuarzo que sacas en Arkansas.
I had the same type of experience looking for native Copper in Michigan. My best pieces were on the surface of a dirt road; they had been brought in as part of the gravel for the road surface.
I live like 15 min away from here this place is really cool, the ground is littered with quartz everywhere you step
Oh wow, Probly stuff all over! 💎💎💎
I've been blessed with finding some tiny pockets of the most beautiful Aurora druzy quartz (which mindat claims îs only found in India) here in Southern Cali...Pomona to be more specific. Would you be kind enough to share a specific location where i might be able to find myself some clear quartz? I'd be willing to share some of my tiny Aurora Druzy Quartz , although to be quite honesty my entire correction could fit into the palm of one hand as they are not only scarce, but very difficult for me to extract/retrieve from the host rock. Anyhow, i hope you have an awesome and safe remainder of the week!
crazyy does it cost money?
@@caleahboore6663 yeh i thinks like 75$ fee dig all day unlimited buckets. But you have to reserve your spot on their website also
Nice!!! 😁
I like how he is always happy for other people when they find things
Oh hey I was there last year, I got a qwartz crystle point that was 5 inches wide. I really recommend this place everyone
I live about 30 minutes from the Oceanview Mine and I have been there several times, I always find a few nice pieces. I have also been to The Himalaya Mine in Santa Ysabel which, if you are willing to dig, can be highly productive, you do have to put your back into though, dig, dig, dig, search and dig. I have seen hot dog size full crystals being pulled from the ground. California is filled with Rock hounding locations. You can find chalcedony, jasper, fireagate, petrified wood and a lot more and even coveted Benitoite in San Benito County.
Oh wow, that sounds fun to see them that size found! Went to Himalayan but it was closed, had no idea but they haven’t opened back up yet. Did go to the other location, gems of Pala
I like how you said if he's willing to dig lol!
Wow! Can u suggest a reference for me to plan a road trip? I'm in Washington state.
Oceanview gives these TH-camr’s different stuff to sort than the average public. Do not expect finds like this if you go there.
Had such a blast digging with you! Can't wait to do it again
I'll be waiting for some of these to be added to the store 😁
I’m finally working on it this week! 😁 will add lots of fresh stuff to the eBay! ✨🙏✨💎
@@TheCrystalCollector I'll be checking 😁
I grew up in San Diego and never even heard of this site, but in my defense, I wasn't into rockhounding back then. Will definitely have to check it out when we go back to visit friends/family. Thanks so much for this video. 💚
How was it?
Asalamuallaikum....Woooow Amazing crystal 😇😇😇😇👍👍👍👍💯
My granddaughter and I absolutely love your videos, thank you so much!!!❤
from Japan. Looks very fun 😊👍✨
I never realized in the United States that Tourmaline,Amethyst and other semi precious stones could be found . I find crystals fascinating. Finding Jade is
amazing. The only stone I knew that came from here was Sleeping Beauty. The Tourmaline is beautiful. Jewelers talk about stones coming from exotic places in Brazil; Africa and other continents. I just started watching you . Fascinating.
My Grandfather when he was young probably 120 years ago at least found beautiful Amethyst in central Maine. About an hour away from Milo .
He gave it to me . It was a cluster of separate Amethyst crystals. I have stored it and now I need to find it . He also had a gold rock that his cousins ( The Blue Brothers deadly horse back ride to Pikes Peak from New York I think during the gold rush . One brother made it back . It has actually been written about . A deadly journey poorly planned) my grandfather Blue was given one gold piece from that fatal journey out west . It was bad .
Anyway I love what you are doing and teaching .
Dang it!!! I knew when you said you'd be here in so. Cal you were goin to see the Chief and play at my favorite place to get dirty and gemmy!!! So glad you had fun, I always have great finds & never want to leave!
Come back soon!!! 🤙
Thank you very much for sharing! I enjoyed your adventure almost as much as you did! I must admit, I'm jealous as a green toad wanting to get out there & dig! Keep up the amazing work. You have a lifelong viewer fan in me! Namaste
Thanks for watching and hanging out 🙌💎✨💜🙏✨
Yes what a fun place! Love this area!
If you're still in California you should go to Davis Creek up by the California Oregon border & get some obsidian needles and rainbow obsidian!! Beautiful country as well!
oh cool! May just check it out! Will be there soon’, thanks!!
@@TheCrystalCollector we live in susanville California. if u go to up to Davis creek look up Glass mountain as well monda of pumice, obsidian. The obsidian is in the side of the hill & it looks like Ribbon xmas candy. Pretty awesome!
Finally the video I’ve been waiting for!!!! Glad you went to Pala. Southern California has a lot of beautiful gems. Come back soon!
Yes wish I had more time!! One of my favorite areas to be 🙌💎
California!!! Awww. The crystals are beautiful 😍 the last one the girl found was the best and I would love to see it washed up.
Yes it was amazing the pieces that were found! Beautiful colors!
I took my son here for his 5th birthday 2 years ago - so stoked to show him this video! We found lots of kunzite, mica, some quartz and some aquamarine. Also, thank you for writing him some special birthday messages with his ultra rocks (and for the extras). We couldn’t love your channel more!
Thanks for watching and the support!! That’s awesome! 💎
Wow. Didn't even know this existed here in CA.
Yea it’s a cool location! Check it out!
Me either! What do they charge to dig?
@@andreabontempo643 According to their website:
Adults ($75 each)
Children 5-11 years old ($60 each) [4 and under free].
Kevin Luo thank you!
This looks so fun! I hope one day I could mine and find crystals.
That’s my goal aswell :)
Of course you guys can! Just start by searching your local area for crystal mines and spots to dig! Also there are local prospecting/rock collecting clubs that are full of like minded individuals with lots of knowledge. And who knows, you may make some lifelong friends!
OH MAN THE BEAUTIFUL PEICES ,ITS SO MUCH FUN JUST TO WATCH YOU.
My daughter and I are going November 21, I can’t wait!! We live 16 miles from there
Thank you for coming back to Tube! It needed more loving kindness! I love your show and the wonderful folks you have on with you. Especially the "camping couple" Blessings, Carolyn Havens/ Hawaii
So many beautiful colours that show once they are cleaned, I love the purple and the pink. It looks like a place you could spend hours in working the tailings and such lovely people having fun finding the crystals on a beautiful day. Its been raining on and off for a few days here and it was so lovely to see you all enjoying the sun. Take care and stay safe please my friends God bless you all love and hugs to you Bryan, Matrix and Dylan Mary-Ellen UK
Yes it was a really fun time with a great view! I was up half the night the the day before working on a video, so was was kind of tired during the dig. Ended up sleeping the rest of the day, 😆
It was super fun and hope to see all the great fines was exciting! Hope y’all are doing great!
@@TheCrystalCollector we are all well and Terry and I have had both our covid inoculations, Steve my disabled son has had his first and the only reaction was we were very tired for about 36 hours otherwise we are fine. The inoculations are the only way of keeping safe and more importantly of stopping the spread of the virus and staying safe and well. Terry and Steve still wear their masks when they go out but only to be lawful lol. I haven't been awake long and am now going to have my first cup of tea lol so cheerio Bryan, enjoy yourself and have a wonderful day Mary-Ellen
Best Lepidolite I’ve ever seen. The Kunzite piece was incredible and of course Tourmaline what’s not to love … thank you 😊
YaHoo. I was there 4 years ago. I didn't find anything, but it was a dream of a lifetime to go there...lol I had the buffet at the Pala Casino. Great time.
Ohhhh, next time I’ll check out that buffet!
Yea digging is like that fir me many days, no finds. Just never show that stuff 😬
Amazing area and how you know all the crystals. You the luckiest guy to go and look for these and others. I like tourmaline esp the watermelon one. Awesome job
Thanks, yes it’s a blessing. There are lots more locations in the world that I could imagine
Beautiful Tourmaline. I almost mistake pink Tourmaline as A Rose Quartz
That Hallelujah Junction is just before the actual Peterson's Ridge off of Hwy 395 where the Amethyst is.
Very kool Minerals and crystals! That Watermelon is amazing!!!!
I've always been enamored with gems and crystals, and I only learned today that there were some great rockhunter places nearby! It will be my first attempt, but I think I'm going to hit up Pala Chief Mine this year. Very excited! I love the energy of the people here!
I love the way they root for each other
BOOTIFUL CRYSTALS , WOWWW😳 OMG , LOVE PINK 💖 That view is GORGEOUS 😍
THANKS FOR A GREAT VIDEO
The black stuff doesn’t do it for me but... oh baby those greens and reds 💎👀🤩💯
Yea those colors will get you like that 😂🤩💎✨💥
We like your Bucky's hat
Thanks for washing up the crystals and showing what it looks like after the dig! It's my favorite part!
Imma slide into your trunk 🤣 pop out like LETS FIND EM
1:20 had me like woaaahhh~~~ I'd always seen textbook photos of the rocks, now I'm unconsciously trying to add a layer or two of dirt :)))
Love that you are rocking a Buc-ee's hat on this dig!
Yea it’s an awesome place!
Okay, that scepter from Hallelujah Junction is FREAKING UNREAL!!! No offense to the tourmalines, but, just... wow!
Yea it was an amazing time!
Love that you stay out of the youtube drama and always bring an upbeat attitude. Some people dont seem to understand that the algorithm that suggests videos isnt rigged. Beautiful crystals as always.
Omg I love watching these videos
love the intense music in the beginning... rly matches my anticipation to see these finds >:)
Thanks for letting me be a part of that, it was great to meet you! Keep rockin’! 💎⛏🤓
Dude it was so awesome if a day for me, thanks so much !! 🙌
@@TheCrystalCollector Any time! I hope to see you on the mountain again!
What a rock and mineral 🌈 rainbow
Fun videos to watch, you make it feel like I am there in person....!
Thanks so much 💜✨🙌
That pink montmorillonite is beautiful!
I've been looking for some informative videos about where and how to find (diy) stones.Thank you! I'm in love with Tourmaline also,I understand and it comes in many colors.
You have the same energy as a dad vlogging something with his kids and I love it
Never been this Early... Wow crystal party 🎉
Holy cow Bryan! I have been looking forward to you getting out here for years! Welcome to the West!
Thanks 🙏 love it out here!
Wow thanks for sharing your fun journey with us! In my youth I would have so loved to do what you all do!
Holy smokes, im 23 mins from here!
That big one you found @4:49 or so is STUNNING all cleaned up! Amazing!
Awesome adventure wow awesome area magnificent finds great crew sweet video awesome awesome thank you
One of my bucket list things to do is go on a dig with u I have never been on a dig I don't know what to even to to figure it out I have tryed n every time I have read about a place n went by myself only to get there n find out it's not even there for a long time trying the beaches, state parks, n one place wanted a 100 buck for a hour n was a few blocks away iam disabled n use a cane n Walker to try n get to a spot n I am not sure even where to dig. Almost every thing I have is from buying it. I would love just one time before I die or can't walk anymore is to fulfill 1dream of digging n finally get to find something really good n nice that iam proud of a once in a lifetime experience. So I hope to receive a response from you God willing of course. U give us all inspirational video s they r magical n beautiful I hope God blesses you always n keeps u safe forever more n Jesus name Amen

You may enjoy the Oregon Sunstone‘s, I’m going to be up there myself around late summer, if you are on Facebook, give me a follow, or you can join our private clubhouse. We do meet ups several times per year all around the country! Thank you for the support and watching and hopefully we can all meet up and dig together!
I absolutely loved this video ! Awesome finds and variety of colors !!!
Love you findings ❤ there beautiful
We were there last October for my birthday. We had a great time. I bet you got to go inside the mine!
He was actually going to give me a tour but I was up editing a video very late the night before and just was too tired. Hoping to go back next year and have more time and be nice and rested up
What a delightful video! Ty for posting 😁👍🏻🌺
🙌💎✨
Amazing Area, wonderful specimens. Few Months ago i cut a beautiful blue green Tourmaline Cab from the near Himalaya Mine. Thanks for the great Video, super interesting👍
We're going next weekend! I'm sooo excited!
Thank you for sharing another amazing adventure. May God bless you and your's.
I’m so glad I just found this account... I remember what the little kid in me always wanted to do... gonna venture out pretty soon not sure where... maybe Opal Hill
Sweet, yeah it’s a fun hobby do you have, and good for the mind body
Fell in love with green tourmaline years ago...Always wanted to go south to search.
Yes it’s so much fun, those greens are nice, wait till next tourmaline video coming out soon 🙌💎🌱
wow thats some sweet rock candy right there , need to make a trip there dont have any tourmaline in my collection
Loved the aquamarine, it's my birthstone. I'd love to dig and find crystals.
I almost went to this mine today. Appreciate the tour - now I know what to expect!
Welcome to our neck of the woods! Gotta love Oceanview mine- it was the first place we hit when we moved to San Diego!
Yes it’s such a fun place! I wouldn’t mind going back again!
Love your videos and Matrix is so cute!!
That is wonderful, good for you!!!
Awesome finds
I really like the owner. I haven’t been out there in 10 years, but it was fun.
Awesome video! Cute doggie!
Thanks for the video! I found our next vacation!
Wow 🤩 awesome!!! Looks like I will have to be on the lookout for that next subscriber box!!! Much love Bryan and Dylan! Hope the vehicle situation works out 👍🏼
Yea we are gonna look for something this week here in Reno. He may get a minivan for the duration

What's that. Very Amazing findings. I enjoy your findings again and again.

This place is on my bucket list for this year.I can't wait !!
Super cool gemklasters, nice video
Madre mía que preciosidades sacáis!!!😍😍👏👏👏
Si no son hermosas 🥰
Amazing vid man👌🏻 You really do see some amazing places😀Thanks for sharing⛏🏴
🙌✨💎⚒
bro wtf imagine how much work that guy will have to do to get that gem from his huge water tanks
🤣🤣🤣 I thought the same thing
Awesome video loved the music!!
Loved the video! I'm going to the Oceanview mine on July 10th and July 11th! Thinking of hitting up the Pala Chief mine on July 11th instead - and doing some digging! ⚒️
Yes the pala is epic, I want to go back too!
I want to do this so bad! This is my dream vacation 😍
Great video my friend!!
Awesome day!
Sweet finds!!
Just found you by accident...so fascinating, will be watching 😀💪👍❤
Bryan, I’m so happy to see you made it to the West Coast & in my neck of the woods! Wish we crossed paths...maybe one day 😉 Enjoy your digs & give Matrix 🐶 some back scratchies for me!!! Much love 💕! 🤗
Yes I love the West Coast, still out in Santa Cruz area, my RV broke down so getting it looked at
Geez, sorry for the late reply! Santa Cruz is great, I also used to live all around near the San Francisco Bay Area, too. Too bad I didn’t see this earlier, I would have suggested Marianne’s ice cream as a must-stop in Santa Cruz. Bummer you broke down, but by the looks of all your recent posts, I’m sure you’re up & running now. In the future do you think you’d be up for a paid “hitch-a-ride-with-me and dig,” then we’d fly back home from wherever after some stops? You’re living part of my dream to rv travel in the U.S. Come on, I’d make a great pillow for Matrix 😉😜🐶 Anyhow, glad to see you going non-stop! Happy travels!
Take a bright light to that black tourmaline! You probably have some deep blues and greens in there!!
Absolutely beautiful
Nice TOUR.......👍👍👍👍
Very nice video, I had a smile on my face while looking at your findings.
I love you guys I wish I could be there right now but I am to sick thank you so much love Sue 😀♥️♥️
Will be back at this location in a few weeks, can’t wait! Maybe we’ll see you there!
Great Finds
At school when i was in like, year 2, when we found like the TINIEST bit of clear quartz everyone would be like OMG OMG I FOND A CRYSTAL. I was the only one who didn’t believe that it was an ultra rare, really valuable crystal. No one believed me that it a normal thing u could find anywhere, anytimw
So happy to dig with you guys!
It was awesome to dig and meet you Ron! Y’all have a great place there!
@@TheCrystalCollector thanks! I'd love to join you on other treks when you're out this way! I grew up in Mississippi, where, as you may know, there are no rocks! :P
