Wow, TC, you seem to have done it all. Nice stones being shown. This is something that probably would have interested me in my younger years. I’m able to see what I missed out on. Franklin, NC is a little over 4 hours from me. I see they have a Gem Mineral Museum there, so it must have been an important thing for the area. The flooding probably affected them as well. The arrowheads are awesome as well. Very interesting. We were four- wheeling years ago with the in-laws. We were last in line and I had to use “the tree”. My wife said she was going to look for arrowheads while she waited. The area had been cleared some years earlier and I went behind the pile of brush. She started screaming when she found a perfect arrowhead. I thought she already had it in her pocket and was kidding. Nope, she found it, but gave it to her day. He found quite a few in that cleared lot. Thanks for sharing.
Hey thanks Ken! Something that kinda surprises me is this Sapphire vid has gotten a lot more views than I ever Expected! I did do some cool things as a kid. Franklin is about 8 or 9 hours from here depending on how many stops are made. I used to hate that long ride & as a kid it seemed like forever. That Gem Museum is Awesome & they may have been Affected by the flood. I'll have to check the Web site if they still have one, I know they did as I stumbled on it 10 or so years ago. I do enjoy hunting for Arrow Heads. I think an open field or patch between woods that has not had much or any farming are the best places because they haven't been used much or at all and not been turned. Also the Indians were more likely to use a bow there. The tree you mentioned reminded me of something funny if you mean what I think you mean. "You know you're a Redneck if, you walk your dog and use the same tree he does.......you might be a Redneck.' LOL Thanks again for the comment Ken and have a Merry Christmas morn tomorrow! ☺🎅
Hello , i very interesting video ! When i am outdoor i love pickup some rocks/ stones even if i don't know anything about thoses stuffs. Great you did some mining as a hobby. I would be unable to recognize the Sapphires from the others rocks/stones. Thoses arrowheads are AWESOME ! Thanks you for sharing and Merry Christmas.
Thanks for the Comment Fabien, I hope I got your name correct. I had a lot of fun doing the Gem mining in the late 1970s and later the Gold prospecting from 2002 till 2012 or so. Also I have always been on the lookout for arrowheads since I was about 9 or 10 years old. It didn't take long to recognize what to look for in the gem hunting after doing it all day long, probably first 2 or 3 days I learned. Glad you liked the vid and you have a Merry Christmas! 🎅☺
@@TCsCollectablesCollection Awesome, i always wanted doing some Gem mining and Gold prospecting as some hobbies. I have my pan(ing) kit somewhere in my garage...😁. Happy Holidays.
