I live in SC near Columbia. I love hunting the creeks and exploring for new spots. There's a layer that pops up around here with similar hematite, but the ones here rarely have the vugs, but I've gotten some really nice bots. There's a lot of Jasper associated with this layer and the coolest thing I've found from it was where something crazy happened to make the hematite run through the Jasper and it has the look of snake skin. I only got about 15 to 20 pounds of it altogether. I want to see what it would look like cabbed out. I'm sure that there's more in the area. I've just been grabbing it as it's washed out over a few trips. I'm glad that I came across your channel. It's really informative and cool to see your finds from Carolina. Take care.
That is awesome!! It pays to walk the shoreline when you have the opportunity. That material sounds awesome. I love the South Eastern USA minerals. Snake skin Hematite Jasper sounds like a wonderful find . Thanks for the comment and good luck on your adventures.
Hi High Country! Enjoy your videos! Carolina is beautiful. Hope to visit there in 2022. This was fun. Enjoy the views. 40 degrees today. Snow pretty much gone. Enjoyed your specimens. Yeah enjoy the world. I need to get out and see the world. Winter too long.
Thanks for posting. It has been a long winter. My sister and I went to Propst farm after watching your video on it. Had a great time and found about a dozen crystals. Looking forward to your spring and summer videos.
@@HighCountryRocks I'll bet , I'm looking forward to the spring thaw too! Thanks again for the vid, considering you didn't get the footage , turned out real good!
Would be cool to walk that shore at night with a UV light, let those rubies glow.
That was my first thought!!!!!! I think that could of had something to do with the challenge finding the corundum. I like your thinking!!
Yeh, the rubies will shine at night with that UV light.
Who knows what other minerals that might show up walking lake bottoms.
Most lakes bottoms in Western North Carolina are covered in gems. I have seen some crazy stuff while bank fishing. It really surprised me.
Thank you!
Hello High Country. I love your videos. Thank you so much. Hope all is well with you guys. Love all of these and Carolina is beautiful.
Thank you for your comment. Hopefully I have some more North Carolina gems to show in this upcoming year.

You stuck in there to the end.
Thank you for the comments and watching the videos. It has been a long winter. Bring on the warm weather.
Supposed to be Limonite Cubes on Lake Chatuge, but I have never found them. Cool Mica! Btw, it’s Boytroidal!
Lol yeah I wish I would have noticed that a little earlier..... I can't even hardly say that word lol.
I like that green mica
Green Mica is one of my favorite minerals and indicators.
I found some really nice green stuff up at ray’s mine

I love to hear that. I am happy to had the opportunity. It's hard work but well worth the dig. I love this comment!! Bring on the warm weather!!!!
Great video! I just read about people doing that at Lake Chanute and have been meaning to try that myself.
That's very close to the shoreline we were at. The locals get the first pickings when the lake drops. It was still alot of fun.
That was enjoyable! Real nice finds on a beautiful looking day!
Something different ...My Go Pro didn't record alot of the trip. I tried my best to put something together. Thanks for the support.
That 🌞 feels so good after long winter days.

One day I'll get this figured out.... Thank you for the support though.
