Man, I'm gonna binge watch every video on your channel. I like the realism all the crew displays. Happy Gem Hunting. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.
I follow so many gem/crystal/gold/rock prospectors on TH-cam and this is beautifully produced. I would say this is TV/Netflix quality, but I think TH-cam deserves this content. Even though I'm not a prospector or even a collector, you've managed to capture the excitement of finding these treasures and make it entertaining for the viewer. :) thanks

Enjoy your Explorations and Discoveries ... Beth NW Tennessee, USA
Finally!!!! A Real Show that tells a story and gives true details of what Mining and Prospecting is all about and the sacrifices and logistics of Exploration. Well done.... 2 Big Thumbs up!!!!!
I love this. I've been mining on and off for about 10 years now. I'm 21. Mining has always been a Hobby of mine, and seeing if turned I to a Livelihood amazes me. I think I know what I want to do with my life now. Thank you guys. These are beautiful specimens
REALLY good production quality and I love to feel there is more of an edge, less "produced" feeling ..means you are making it look easy in an insane hard environment. The direction and comparison from any other show before this is WAY different and a massive improvement btw... AND the golden huge nugget of blue in the end is an awesome unicorn to have documented. Bravo.
This group of people along with a few other groups (think Gold Rush) made up a show which aired on The Weather Channel a couple of years ago. I really enjoyed it...
This is incredible. I dunno why I'm so interested in mining but I think it comes from my love of the universe and stars and planets. There are no mountains near me and I've never seen one in person. Really beautiful. Great finds
Suggestion for getting gems out of very tight cracks is aquascaping tweezers. There are 24 inch long stainless steel tweezers used for planting plants in a fish tank that may be of great service to yall.
After watching all these shows ( this one,Gold mining, diamond mining,and others) I'm SO GLAD I'm happy with what I've got. Nothing against any of the people/shows more power to them. Just saying that I'm happy with what I have.
From Prospectors, loved that show. Ran across this and immediately subscribed. I remember when he was on camera and all his long hair stood up straight. Everyone jumped in the trucks. Lightening in the air.
Really glad to see this on TH-cam - loved Prospectors and it was frustrating that it was canceled though understandable that some people on the show had issues that made production problematic. Lived to see that Blue 💎💎💎
Wow, great show! Excited to watch more. I really like how they made a point of acknowledging the environmental effects mining has on the earth but also how they try their best in the areas they can to be sustainable human beings!
Being from PA about an hr from Pittsburgh I love that he's a Steelers fan. Found this channel through DallmyD and been binge watching videos ever since.
1.3MIL+ views...and I am just discovering this channel...? Yep subscribed and notified! I am 54 yo retired military, I feel i can still do hard work, and this is inspiring me to learn more about mineral and gem prospecting. honestly dont know if my body is up to challenges at this level, (battle injuries) But, nothing has stopped me before....very addicting to see how hard work pays off, stunning gems, just stunning!!! thanks Mrs and Mr Cardwell, step dad is a Bardwell, close enough, LOL!!
How freaking cool!! I love the idea of using Grandpa's treasure map. Can't get enough of this. There should be a reality show about gem hunters. I would actually watch that one! Best of luck to your family on the mountain. I hope you hit the blue over and over. I hope to visit your shop one day and spend some green on your blue!
Thank you for the wonderful compliment! Stop by anytime and see the blue in Historic Buena Vista! We also have a website with some goodies! www.mtanterotreasures.com Thank you again for watching!
LOVE your story of mining being in both sides of your family! I have never explored mining of gem stones and founding your videos so fascinating! Because my birthstone is Aquamarine (and I have been attracted to this stone but find it too pricey for the super high quality ones like you guys mine. However, having coming across HOW you guys mine them really opened up mind big time! In my younger days, I skiied, hiked, camped, climbed the Rockies, so no stranger to high elevations conditions combined short window of time you are faced with! So now I understand why the high quality ones are so pricey :))) … someday I WILL buy one from you guys! And love most the uncut raw clearest ones best! There is a Tahitian Pearl jeweler in Hale’iwa, Oahu who rarely drills into these gorgeous pearls. Instead, he sets them via tension. I have a beautiful Keshe pearl tension set via a flat gold spiral embracing it. So was thinking … because Aquamarine’s hardness is so high, it could also be tension set!
Well happy I stumbled across this, saw the first two seconds of episode 3 and had to find episode 1 so here I am, as I'm typing this I can tell the production is superb, chuffed. 👌👍😁😁
Just said "howdy" to you in the Indian Food restaurant in the Springs. Good Luck this next season. My family owned the Coronado Motel in BV from 1971-1982. My Dad worked at Climax for 35 years, so I especially appreciate your family mining heritage/story. Dont' drive anymore cars off the mountain...and good luck again!
Just found your video, I am elated. I loved watching the Weather Channel episodes and miss seeing them. Keep making videos for us that can't do it anymore.
Hey Rockhounds! Mt. Antero is about to be wide open for the season to begin! A winter of avalanches and summer starting out with mudslides and torrential rains! Would not expect anything less when it comes to Antero! Here we go Antero! Here we go!
North Side Bomber! Wow, very nice! It's really cool that you guys are following history and the Family treasure map. That ring, true stunner,regal💍 Looking forward to more!
Here we found recently new ore of Aquamarine stones Huze stones area was found which was un officially govt. Still not recognised. It's recently founded by researchers of University students who are doing PhD on geology It was known by them in their research that sample stones are pure Aquamarine stones
I miss living in salida and seeing Antero every day. My friend Dave bussey and his family made a LOT of money doing what you guys do. Great to actually see footage of how those crazy big stones came down the mountain.
Love the show Craig, and so happy for you and Tracie! I've been rockhounding in Colorado but not on this scale. Very exciting! The husband and I are going to look at real estate for a business in the near future, I hope, and hopefully we can stop in and take a look around in your shop. Hugs! Melinda
I thought this was well done. I used to watch Prospectors when that show was airing, hope this will have less drama. Looking forward to future episodes.
Lovely video! What a joy to watch, but a little painful too, get those bamboo sticks in those pockets, so much easier to maneuver the loose mud and not damage the gems! Best of luck to you, and touch base if you ever have a place for an experienced loner!
Wow love ❤️ watching your episodes! Insaw you through Dallmyd and since then im hooked i love what beautiful people you are! Live from South Africa! 🇿🇦
@@lazerman121 Yes....Craig & Tracie were on the show "Prospectors", which was hosted on the Weather Channel on TV. The weather channel didn't just do weather, they did Prospectors, Alaskan Railroad, American Supernatural....etc Prospectors included miners like Craig and Tracie and Amanda Adkins, Steve Brancato, Joe Dorris, Krystle Dorris, Brian & Yolanda Busse and family. Extreme conditions and gorgeous gems....under the gun of the weather and the treacherous geography of Antero and the likes. Aquamarine, amazonite, smokey quartz, fluorite, calcite, topaz....etc. Was a fabulous show. I miss it!
Very professionally done video Craig and Team. As a Gemologist, I sure enjoyed seeing you guys unearth your 'treasures'. I didn't know that Colorado had Aquamarine bearing mountains. "Go Steelers"!!!
I’ve truly stumbled upon this “gem” on Mt. TH-cam and it’s pretty cool. Look forward to binging more videos. Also, video production is like Discovery Channel level - I thought this was previously aired it.
I hope it involves more tweakers and fake planted discoveries of bullshit stones no one wants. Just so you can product pitch ugly jewelry and fat ugly wife skin care products. Yeah great video........
Blue Beryl is aquamarine, I would be interested in knowing what they consider the differences, and what that blue beryl means geologically. Great uploads, these are amazing.
"I've been mining since I was 2" "I was born into a mining family" Uses Hammer and screwdriver from her Ikea tool kit to dig out Aquamarine. I think she has been mining a very different kind of "crystal" Lately
You don’t have to use expensive tools. Whatever works. It’s not like they’re mining deep underground requiring specialized tools. They’re surface mining. A hammer and a screwdriver would work well in that setting.
@@MrTangent I would've at least brought a 2.5 lb mini sledge to crack rock out of the way if needed that little drywall hammer really cant do a whole lot.. she could have opened up that gap alot wider with a bigger hammer and a chisel and gotten alot deeper to where stuff hasn't been washed out or blown out
@@stonemason9063 I'd be taking the lightest kit I could at over 12,000 feet. The oxygen starts to get really thin that high and every gram of extra kit takes a lot more effort to haul.
Holy moly! Hi kids! This is Kim Wolinski, your friendly Innkeeper at the Old Town Guesthouse in Old Colorado City. I tried to email you from our reservation system, but we had to get a new one and it dumped most of the emails. OCH! I was thinking about you and "Prospectors" show the other day the vwalla!, there was the article in our Gazette newspaper all about what you're doing and your youtube show! so, here I am...Bravo! I hope all's going so very well for you this year... and always! Hope to see you sometime again! Kim (and Dave!)... I'm not on the computer much except for facebook and work, but Iook forward to catching up on your youtube episodes! Be safe! Stay happy! And find lots of gems.
I'm surprised that there's no comments on the hyper-inflated values. $175 for an aquamarine just like the $15 piece I bought at the last rock show - or $150 for the smoky quartz like the $10 piece I just bought
Depending on the location, some people pay big bucks for pretty rocks. But most Gem & Mineral Shows offer drastically less expensive specimens that are equally as good in quality.
SnowTiger45 it is in some cases but I seen plenty of people deal in Mr. Antero material selling a single smoky point for $10-25. Those feldspar clusters are a different story tho.
Yes, some of those "values" are just plain silly. Maybe they're using ancient Greece pricing, Amethyst was considered a precious gemstone then. A nice large twin smokey in a amazonite matrix, sure 45$ and above, Those things? 9.99-15.00.
Man, I'm gonna binge watch every video on your channel. I like the realism all the crew displays. Happy Gem Hunting. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.

22:27 is anyone else see that blue crystal has tiny hole on both up and down ...as when it is made to make a jewelry
appears to look like that but it could be a trick of light as it bounces inside the ends making a brighter spot appear? not 100% sure
It sure was clean considering it just got pulled out of a mountain side.
@@Scy I mean considering it is tiny, not buried but hidden in a crevice, and the exposure to the elements includes rain its not really a shocker.
It looks like internal cracks that are about parallel to the ends. Probably happened when the crystal originally broke.
You've clearly never mined up on Antero before
