By far the most interesting video i could watch today. I have never been to any mine but i would love to be one day in such a beautiful place like this one. It's amazing how the crystals get those perfect shapes . I would enjoy like crazy being there. Thank you very much , i have learned a lot with you today.
While watching this video I was just blown away by how amazing those crystals are! And I would like to commend this channel for being so positive and entertaining! I hope to see many more videos from this channel in the future! Thanks, and keep on digging!
Its like Christmas! You never know what will come out of the veins! I love rocks and minerals. I get so excited when you pull them out of the dirt. I love the way the crystals natural fascists gleam in the sunlight! They are outstanding specimens!
Hey, neighbor! I live in LaFollette, TN; about 375 mi. due west of Raleigh-Durham NC. From one rockhound to another, some great crystal finds! I loved watching this video, but would love being the "digger and finder" even more. Great video! Can't wait to see more. Thanks, for uploading. Subscribed!
that is completely AMAZING!! I'm from socal and am moving with my 3 kids to Arkansas not sure where to yet but I'm sure why! 😍 thank you so much for this awesome video and the pointers
Hey Lindsay I too am from socal and now live in AR. Hot Springs or the surrounding area is a great place to raise kids. I moved here with my three kids also in 2006.
Awesome Video! My bf and i are going there next weekend. We are doing a premium dig . Hoping its gonna be worth all the $$ , ive seen mixed reviews , but your video is inspiring to us to try it out! Great Video ! What size pry bar should we bring?
Nice video! That reddish pocket clay made me hungry! Now i need Chinese food.... Red mud got this effect on me! 😀 Was seeing me with chopsticks in one of thoses pockets!
I am trying to decide between the two mines. I'm not wanting to pay a lot for phantom pockets at twin creeks. Would it be more beneficial to go to Ron Coleman instead then to look through the tailings?
How much did you pay for the pocket in the video? I spoke with Bobby and they ranged from $300-$1000 for a pocket. Have you been to or heard anything about Sweet Surrender mine ?
cheapest is 300, and goes up to 2k+ The more you pay the larger your pocket is going to be. worth doing a lot of research if you have never dug a vein before, it's a lot of manual labor.
My hubby and I are looking at going for the Crystal festival there. Do you know if they charge per crystal found as well? I see admission is 100 dollars for admittance into the event.
How do you clean them? We found a bunch in South Carolina recently and have them but no clue how to get all the mud and off. We rinsed in water and soaked for a week or so. Still not coming off. Do you soak in acid or vinegar?
Cool video, great phantoms at the end. What did you use to make the map animation at the start of the video? By the way, nice to see another mineral channel use drone footage. I have the DJI Mavic Pro.
Is that a price per day because $1,500 a day even $500 a day you better get some good stuff that's a hell of a lot of money to pay for one day of digging
Great video! What method did you use to mine the crystals out of the ground (in the Ron Coleman tailings)? Did you dig a large hole or did you just get lucky?
Scott LaBorde no prob! i just went quartz digging last week. smaller "hirkimer diamond" style quartz's In diamond point (payson Arizona) found a nice fat 2" amethyst i was pretty proud of
Scott, I have no idea what the value is of crystals like these. Are they valued by carats, or what? What would be the approximate value of the crystals you guys found on your one day of digging in Arkansas?
Quartz itself is not that valuable. It's only when a crystal specimen has certain features that can make it very valuable -- it is perfect with no damage, the luster is high, the clarity is water clear, the size of the specimen, and other factors like shape or inclusions can add aesthetic value.
We did the coleman mine a few years ago and it seemed infested by rattlesnakes. In one day we saw at least 24. Workers came around warning everyone to look out.
HI THERE could anyone tell me where i can buy mined raw Arkansas quartz crystal please ? I live in Ireland. points or pendants someone who makes them into pendants ? please & thanks . great video btw. thanks.
Scott LaBorde I know it’s all I can talk about!! I’m going for my birthday and paying Bobby for a pocket! And im so excited to get some good high vibe crystals there! 😊😊
@@TheArkansasDiamondMiner yeah i went there on a school trip for the release of the arkansas state quarter, didnt find anything myself but it was still fun

Loved
Nice video! That reddish pocket clay made me hungry!
Now i need Chinese food....
Red mud got this effect on me! 😀
Was seeing me with chopsticks in one of thoses
pockets!
Awesome!
Thanks 🙏
I am trying to decide between the two mines. I'm not wanting to pay a lot for phantom pockets at twin creeks. Would it be more beneficial to go to Ron Coleman instead then to look through the tailings?
I do this .call me in box and you will see how much I can off you in South Africa. 0027761245621
How much did you pay for the pocket in the video? I spoke with Bobby and they ranged from $300-$1000 for a pocket. Have you been to or heard anything about Sweet Surrender mine ?
Awesome !!!!
My family and I are almost at The Coleman mine. Do you know how often they dump fresh tailings out like you went through?
Scott LaBorde they put out fresh tailings during our visit awesome place!
how much did it cost to reserve a temporary claim
cheapest is 300, and goes up to 2k+ The more you pay the larger your pocket is going to be. worth doing a lot of research if you have never dug a vein before, it's a lot of manual labor.
My hubby and I are looking at going for the Crystal festival there. Do you know if they charge per crystal found as well? I see admission is 100 dollars for admittance into the event.
This is such an orgasmic high❣️ I just LOVE IT SO MUCH ❣️❣️❣️
Good video thanks
How do you clean them? We found a bunch in South Carolina recently and have them but no clue how to get all the mud and off. We rinsed in water and soaked for a week or so. Still not coming off. Do you soak in acid or vinegar?
Now I am understand about crystals and there lookalikes, so thanks by Scott.
Nice drone video
Cool video, great phantoms at the end. What did you use to make the map animation at the start of the video?
By the way, nice to see another mineral channel use drone footage. I have the DJI Mavic Pro.
It's an amazing drone. Previous drones had too poor range, battery life, and bulk to really be useful in the field.
Great video!
If you had only half a day with younger children, not being opposed to paying for a premium dig, which mine would you recommend? Thanks
Please subscribe my youtube channel to see many beautiful quartz crystals
Just awesome! Great narration and music. When you mentioned the premium price. What is that price?
Is that a price per day because $1,500 a day even $500 a day you better get some good stuff that's a hell of a lot of money to pay for one day of digging
Hi Scott....would you be our guide for the mines if we make it to Arkansas?
I wonder if you guys might have a website or some type of shop to purchase a smaller set of rocks I'm not ritch I just love natural stones💗💕💗
Search Ron Coleman on Facebook, they have a shop where you can purchase direct from their mine.
Great video! What method did you use to mine the crystals out of the ground (in the Ron Coleman tailings)? Did you dig a large hole or did you just get lucky?
It was luck. I just picked a pile and started digging through it. 👍
awesome finds guys!
Scott LaBorde no prob! i just went quartz digging last week. smaller "hirkimer diamond" style quartz's In diamond point (payson Arizona) found a nice fat 2" amethyst i was pretty proud of
I would be climbing those mountain strait up when I was younger now I'm 67 no go
My dream is to go go to a mine and find my own! My first vacation next year is to South Carolina.
Same
Vire good
Scott, I have no idea what the value is of crystals like these. Are they valued by carats, or what? What would be the approximate value of the crystals you guys found on your one day of digging in Arkansas?

Awesome
Lindos cristais maravilhosos show super like abraços
Would like o know how you clean and separate the crystals from their host rocks
Great finds
We did the coleman mine a few years ago and it seemed infested by rattlesnakes. In one day we saw at least 24. Workers came around warning everyone to look out.
I dislike the thought of any one getting snake bitten, but I do kind of favor rattlesnakes over the rest.
HI THERE could anyone tell me where i can buy mined raw Arkansas quartz crystal please ? I live in Ireland. points or pendants someone who makes them into pendants ? please & thanks . great video btw. thanks.
Did you guys find any blue devil crystals while digging?
No, unfortunately not.
I can’t wait to go!!?
Scott LaBorde I know it’s all I can talk about!! I’m going for my birthday and paying Bobby for a pocket! And im so excited to get some good high vibe crystals there! 😊😊

@@TheArkansasDiamondMiner yeah i went there on a school trip for the release of the arkansas state quarter, didnt find anything myself but it was still fun
Are the crystals worth anything?
Most crystals are worth more the further you get from the source. I know some people that dig and sell, and some of the mines wholesale as well.
Wow I love it ..please l went life aria
