Do it at night, bring a UV light, and the gems will light up. Cash in. Done.
only ruby light up saludos
@felful Every gemstone light differently under UV light
I was thinking the samething.
Light up the ones you have and see how they light up.
The tide may be too high or high enough for difficult conditions. Instead create a box, with fabric head hole and mount lights inside.
There's a Diamond. State Park in America, in. The state of Arkansas where you pay $15 and search all day, And any diamonds you find you keep, they will offer to buy them, A kid found an 8 carat, last year a woman found 3.2 carat diamond
The Crater of Diamonds State park is actually in the southwestern part of Arkansas. It is a very fun place to hunt!
Mufreesboro Arkansas has the diamonds and Murfreesboro Tennessee has a Harry Potter spa
That's so cool! I gotta check it one day haha.
I've been there! It's in Arkansas.
Lori Mangold I used to live not to far from there and always lived to find all sorts of wonderful things!
I love beaches, I could spend hours at the beach, I collect glass marbles, rocks, drift woods...you name it. One day I followed by a bee right to the water as it was guarding me, it was so cute!, then I found the perfect shape of triangle rock, and keep it till this day. It must've meant something spiritually, the way how it happened. So I thanked the bee for leading me to the finding :-) it was beautiful moment.
The rarest colour of sea glass that you can actually find is dark blue
Idk why but the bee brought tears to my eyes 💀
Srikandi Warion There is a beach in Florida called Sanibel and they find lots of seashells there, it’s so fun to set there and go through the shells and collect them.
A friend of mine Always find heart shaped rocks at the beach and everywhere, she has a whole garden of beautiful shaped Hearts amongst her plants and flowers, Spirit will guide you toward What you expect to find
@@wassupmahdudes8407 Colbalt Blue, years ago, lots of medicine bottles had Colbalt blue, in America, Milk of Magnesia, was made with Colbalt Blue Glass
I’m a gemologist and my grandmother was a geologist- we went everywhere together rock hunting -the adventures we had! This brings back such good memories- something about being connected to the earth. It also makes me wonder in ages past if other people collected them on this very beach you were on as well and made beautiful jewelry with them- maybe the ones who lived in the castle that was once on the hill- and maybe there’s a treasure chest waiting for someone not to far from there..You never know...in the meantime, keep up all the great work and enjoy the moments!
The garnets are beautiful to be sure, but the true treasure is the beautiful area they were found in! Love from the US!
And the Real Treasure which the memories Will last far more than Anything material, is doing something with your Mother, a shared Hobby, or interest, quiet time spent on the Beach together,
You two are awesome love watching you
I absolutely love how you spend time with your mom searching for natures treasures. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us❤️
Completely second this!
I enjoy seeing what you find, but the true treasure is seeing you and your mother do things together. I hope you both know what an amazing blessing you have in each other. May you have many more years of adventuring together. 💞
Took me 57 years to find true peace, and I think it just happened today while watching your videos, lol. The beauty of nature, the music you choose, and your dear mum out there with you hunting for treasures make these videos a true pleasure to watch.
Hi everyone! I forgot to explain in the video that this bay is named 'Ruby Bay' which is in a small place called Elie. It's on the East coast of Scotland in the kingdom of Fife. Thank you for your likes and comments! Don't forget to subscribe to be kept up to date with all our latest releases and news! Gail & Alex xx

Northern Mudlarks Hi! Me and my daughter (she’s 7) we watch your videos together and we’re going to explore here in the hopefully not faraway future!! Thanks for the inspiration. We want to get a camper so we can explore our beautiful country together. I did a bit of this with my grandparents when I was younger and they had their camper, but would love to do it more fully now. Thanks for the lovely videos, you’re both so lovely 😊
Beautiful place and amazing video
HEY!!! YOU MISSED ONE GEMSTONE THERE!! LOOK AT 9:08 I SAW ONE JUST THERE WHILE YOU WERE SHAKING THOSE PEBBLES!!!! 😱🙈
Watch the video at half speed you'll see it!!!!
The green stone could be periodot, as they are found in volcanic rock...
Periodt.
garnet can be green or orange as well as many shades of red
Sea glass
@@vibe5326 Buckfast bottles?
Peridot... my favourite of the crystal gems :^)
I love how she uses the natural stone shapes in her jewelry! Very pretty!
I was in Scotland when I was 14 with my mom and dad. I am 68 now and would love nothing more than to return someday. It was a wonderful, magical trip and I have such fond memories. I am an avid jewelry fan so I was enchanted watching you pull these lovely garnets right out of the sand! Thank you for sharing your adventure. Jen
There's gold to be found too
First of all, the background music sounds so medieval fitting
Too bad theres no flutes or xylophones made from human bones, from your true culture. LOL
Its amazing how beautiful the world can be ! . From stunning scenery to tiny gems beneath your feet that can bring so much joy. Thankyou so much to both of you for taking the time to show us with a very well made video.😀😀😀
Thank you so much Justin! I'm so happy you liked it 😊
The rough cut ring is a treasure!! It's so beautiful!! I really enjoy the raw beauty of the stones. 💖
when i was a boy my mother and i would search for rocks along the beach. my mother found stone facinating. guess it's a human thing. enjoyed. thank yew
Gary Chynne we enjoy things that are beautiful and we sometimes want more
I have very similar memories myself. Always fun to see what nature has hidden for us to find.
Garnet is my birth stone. I
am of Scot-Irish ancestry and to visit Scotland AND explore that beach would be a dream come to fruition! Thank you for taking me along for the hunt.
I could easily spend my whole day in there! If i live there i will be by that place daily! 🤩🤩🤩
Scotland has so many beautiful places like this! I love Scotland!!!
Definitely gonna have to take my girls up here. I love beach combing, it’s so satisfying finding all the little bits and bobs whether it be a fossil, sea glass or a beautiful rock/stone but this will be like finding treasure, the colour of them is beautiful
Beautiful Gems.
Scotland is so beautiful.
Just discovered your channel after watching Nicola's latest video and ended up watching all of your videos, back to back. The quality of some of the video editing and choice of camera angles really impressed me for someone new to content making. Personally I found them just the right length and a good combination of on-site discovery and historical research. Sound will no doubt be your biggest problem, especially outdoors and with 2 people, rather than just solo. I especially enjoyed watching your excitement with the bottle digging videos as it brought back my own memories from the 80's when I used to go bottle digging with my mate. I remember having the same feelings when I found my first poison, my first pot lid etc... they were great days that I get to re-live a bit now, watching others doing it on TH-cam! That stoneware ginger beer bottle was definitely a lovely find! Your comment about the 60's Lego being 'really old!' made me feel a bit decrepit though as I used to play with that stuff when it was new!! lol.
Anyway, thanks for the excellent videos and I hope there will be many more to come.
I could not agree more with Lez Marwick's statement. My husband and I just love your adventures. You go above and beyond just finding things. You teach, give background info and history of your finds. Well done. Cheers!
Hi Lez! Thank you so much for the comment! I'm so pleased you like our videos so far. I have never edited or filmed anything in my life until now, It was frustrating at first but I'm getting better at it. Wind noise has been a challenge and I recently figured we need a better-suited mic (lapel mics) to catch both of us speaking but they are too expensive for me at the moment. Anyway! I'm glad to hear you like the mix of research and hunting, I wasn't sure I had the balance right (I don't want to blab on too much!) I got pretty excited with that dump haha, its great fun! I grew up playing with original 60's lego actually, we still have a big box full of it. Who knows it could come in hand one day 😊 All the best, Alex & Gail
Woah that's the longest comment I've ever seen how long you've been typing this?
Ladies, what a lovely outing, and what beautiful rewards! The garnets are so pretty in their bottles with the sun shining through. And congratulations, Gail, on the gorgeous ring! I enjoyed the video very much!
Thank you Cynthia! Mum says thank you!!! We have the garnets displayed in their bottles in the window :) I'm so glad you enjoyed it yt again.
That was a lot of work too find your jewels. Thanks you for sharing, always such a delight to see mum and daughter working together. Happy Day🌺🐊🐢🐗🐴🐷🐕🐈
I don’t know how this video was recommended to me but I’m glad it is ❤️
Beach combing is so relaxing! And I LOVE the jewellery that your mum makes!
Well you just gave me a new location to put on my bucket list.
Much love from Washington State USA 🇺🇸
Check out Sloan creek in darrington or Idaho star garnets also Hansen creek quartz crystals
I want to do that too! I loooooooooooovvvvvvvvveeeeee that these two appreciate this time together, so very nice neat, cool, sweet, awesome!
Aww, thank you so much! We love what we do together!
Just found you! I’m older and I can’t go treasure hunting now but enjoy watching y’all.
I forgot to tell you, I from the United States.
Thank you so much for watching! Have a Happy New Year! xx
Hi Eva! I'm a 65 yo widow in Duluth, MN. I'm actually a hippie wild child stuck in this old body. I occasionally look for seaglass at the beach. I have MS, so I don't do as much. Watching this video makes me want to pack up and move to Scotland to search the beach! My sisters did DNA testing, and we're Scottish on our father's side, Czech on mom's. The videos are like therapy, I love them. At least we can hunt with you all through your videos.
Jan Nash I agree
Lovely video once again, perhaps you could film Mum making a ring like yours one day? I would love to watch her making jewelry from her finds, Stay safe beautiful ladies. Big hugs for you both. Louie. xx
That is just magical when they appear through all the greyness! What a nice outing you both had. It is gorgeous there, so relaxing! Thanks very much for sharing your adventure. HH and GL on the next one! God Bless.🙏🏼🍀👍🏼🧡💎⭕️😊 Btw, I love the sweet, tiny, ring your Mom made with the beautiful stone that she found. That was so kind of her to make you a memory of the day at the beach. A keepsake momentum.....Just precious!❣️💟
How fun! I am a gather and hunter also. Love nature. Your mom has some serious jewelry making skills. So lovely. 💕💍💕
You gals are really fun watching and Gail makes really beautiful jewelry! 🐈👌👍🍀
So isn’t it amazing that you can find them so easily!!
The garnets are beautiful. Did not know that you could find gems in Scotland. Watching your videos back to back.
Are garnets Ruby’s or a different gem
@@ericanderson735 hi
You and your mum are a breath of fresh air.
This might be my favorite video of yours. I don't know how many times I've re watched it. It's so whimsical, scenic and adventurous and I love Gail's jewelry at the end. Just lovely ❤
You two are so lucky to be able to spend times like this with each other, Treasured memories. Love the ring, you should make more and sell them. A beautiful beach too. Had fun and I’ll see you in your next video.
We are thinking about making and selling jewellery made with our finds. We are very lucky to be so close and enjoy the same hobbies together. Thank you very much Lynn!
Red garnets are getting rare. Garnett is my birthstone and my husband was looking for a ring or necklace for a gift. The jeweler told him most garnets you find now are more purple.
I would also love to buy a garnett ring it was so cute & dainty ♥️
I love garnets. I have an uncut one that my dad bought for me. I also have several peices of jewellery from my dad and my husband. I am very lucky.
Alaskan pyrope garnets are very red, most garnets on the market today are alamandine and are more purple, but the variety found in Alaska are more the colour they were finding.
There not rare at gore mtn New York State. They are mined as aggregate by truckloads and the river gravels are up to 20% almandine garnet in some key spots.
Shop Australian sites for Garnets. Hart Range garnets can be stunning Pinks, or look for a Reds And Green from other areas. If you want Beautiful Natural Zircon, we have then too.
Oh I love the Garnets! That’s my birthstone. How fun that trip must have been! Thank you for the fabulous virtual trip❤️
JoAnn Hempen in America their are places in Washington State where you can go mine for gem quality Garnets Gorgeous, and BIG the size of a dime
I just did my DNA test and found out I’m a large percentage Scottish. I had no idea so it’s nice to see these videos! Thank you
Man these vids remind me of my childhood going to every end of the U.K- I’ve not been out of it for 20 years and there’s still so much to find.
lloniannau.
I enjoyed watching you and your mom find the stones. The ring your mom made is pretty.
She is so talented.
I love tuning in to watch you ladies wander, looking for treasure. I do this often myself, although I've never been to an area that has garnets (my birthstone) - so I pick up interesting pieces of beach-glass and broken pottery with softened edges. I often take them home, add gold leaf to the edges, and glue a pin-back onto them to make myself lovely little broaches. I also enjoy that you are a mother & daughter who are also friends, just as my mother & I are. We love creating things together as well - it's such a special relationship, to be able to make things together and be part of a creative family. Enjoy! And thanks for sharing!! 💜💙💜
Two jewels spending the day collecting gems...lovely!
Absolutely loving the videos something nice and innocent and interesting to watch for a change looking forward to the next thank you
Wow, nice chunky "nugs" you and your Mum found! Here in America, when you find garnets, gold is usually found. I read where Scottish gold is the most valued gold around! (I wonder why that is!?) Keep up the great vids, they are always a joy to watch!
because of the purity of the gold!
Garnets are a type of silica much like other gemstones. Quartz is another one that is often found with gold. Gold seems to appear with volcanic activity and so do the silica gems. That is why they are often found together, although not always. Wire gold from quartz is amazing stuff. It forms in cracks and as the quartz wears away it is released.
What a great way to spend the day, searching for gems on a lovely beach with a loved one.
Wow you’re living the life I want. I love your videos , your mum and you see like amazing woman I wish I could be treasure hunting beside! So so fascinating :)
I would give anything to live there and hunt stones all day. I'm in Minnesota on Lake Superior, but it's just not the same.
@@jannash8334 I'm in southern Ontario, surrounded by so many lakes... definitely not the same
very nice! fun that you hunt your own stones and glass gems!
Lovely footage! Your garnet ring is beautiful.
Thank you! Scotland is so beautiful to film :) Mum says thank you about her ring.
This is the best video on TH-cam.
U 2 just the sweetest! How cool is your mom! Very special to have a piece of jewelry that she made for u from the stones you 2 hunted! Yur country is very beautiful ❤️, and blessed u can go there to find minerals ❣️ Thanks for sharing and I look forward to more adventures with u both!
Been longing for a real garnet ring because it’s my birthstone. I love this video!
I've always thought that I would love to go to Scotland but now I have another reason to go. I would truly love to take a walk on your beach and see if I could find some garnets. That would be so awesome.
Nice ring that has the day you spent with your mother attached to it . Beautiful.
That is so amazing to spend a day with your mum treasure hunting. Such memorable times to treasure with gems of jewellery. More precious the memories than the gems.
I love garnets 💜💯
That looks like so much fun. The ring is absolutely beautiful!
So saw the ring and the necklace your mother made from the garnet and the sea glass your mother is very talented and it's wonderful to have something made that you can use and wear instead of just the stuff sitting in a bowl in the house although I love to set the stuff in Bowls in the house to be seen But it makes that much more exciting
What a sweet ring! I would love to see you ladies in a video and showing how you make jewelry from your finds. I imagined a pipe stem necklace :D
Your Ring that your mom made for you looks nice. Take care, not to loose him. Have a nice weekend...🖐
Love everything about your videos; your Mum, the music, the scenery, the beachcombing (being an avid beachcomber myself), your voice, the little history bits. Came across you when I was watching Nicola's mudlarking. Yours are wonderful and special; and perhaps for me especially because I had a very close relationship with my Mum. This is a treasure.
Love to hear your voice greating here from philippines.
I’m planning on a trip to Scotland within the next couple of years to trace my roots. This looks like it would be a fantastic day on the beach and something fun to do as well! Thank you for sharing
Yeah, Go back to Scotland (Europe),more like go back to AFRICA , lol😄. Enjoy💞
hi
..I'm in love with just the natural gravel washed stone the garnets are hiding in..
What fun that would be to go searching for these garnets. What a beautiful memory in that ring and that it was made for you by your mom.
The ring is beautiful, love the rough stone. You make a great team and are really doing and excellent job with your videos. Looking forward t o more treasure hunts!
I JUST SAW ONE GEMSTONE RIGHT THERE AT 9:08 WHEN SHE WAS SWISHING THOSE PEBBLES!!! WATCH THE VIDEO AT HALF THE SPEED YOU'LL SEE IT!!.... 🤣🤣🤣
I did too
@@domonicpoores1267 I did too but she didn't hear me saying "get that one!"
That was just a red stone ...
You have such a lovely soft sweet voice and you sound so cute when showing us your collected Treasures🥰 I thinks wonderful you have such an adorable Hobby that you share with your mother. I hope you have many fun times with your mum finding Treasures, keep up your hard work🇦🇺🦐
How wonderful to live somewhere you can find such treasures. I'm not a big fan of the color red, but I have always loved Garnets. Thanks so much for sharing. The ring is perfect.
Hi, stumbled upon your channel by chance, and i must say what an enjoyable video. Well presented, superb filming and you have such a calming and soothing voice. Also what a wonderful way to spend a day, fresh sea air, doing something you enjoy and with your mother.
Thank you for taking the time and the effort of making your videos. a new subscriber. Thank you and kind regards, key.
Thank you so much for watching! So happy that you like our videos! We've been doing things like this for many years and recently decided to share our adventures with the world. x
Wow To be honest I never knew you could find little gems like these just on the sand.
I used to hunt garnets and fossils at Shiprock NM back about 25 years ago. In Arizona I camped out in the desert and I would get up at sunrise when the floor was still damp with dew and look for anything I could sell at the flea markets. When I and my cat first went west and I was struggling to try and sell antiques some friends taught me rocks, fossils , bones and how to make pipes and dream catchers. Im from NY! The first time someone came into my booth and bought 60 dollars worth of rocks, ROCKS!!, I was hooked. Now I am retired and back in NY.
I could listen to you talk all day. You seem like a very warm hearted young lady. Good luck on your adventures.
I’m glad your channel ended up as a recommendation. This is really fun to watch and you’re just adorable. ☺️ And a huge thank you for editing in actual beautiful music, not the cookie cutter synthetic irritating “ music “ found on so many channels!
I concur!!! Very professional; relaxing and exciting at the same time.
The best time to come up to Elie is after a good storm to find those garnets.
A few year back a guy from further down the coast proposed to his girlfriend, the wedding ring he designed was made from material found in Scotland. He got the gold from a certain river, smoky quartz from where he lives and rubies from Elie aka, ruby bay. His name is Adam McIntosh, he has been on the One show a good few times and all the stuff about the ring was on there.
That ring is really beautiful! Something I would totally wear.
Born in January, Garnet is my birthstone, as it was my mother and her Scottish Mother's. Loved this mudlark!
Wow, I absolutely love the scenery and your voice!
Watching this made me homesick! I'd not yet heard of Ruby Bay, so the next time we're on holidays in Bonnie Scotland, we'll be sure to pop by there! :-)
It'a at a little place called Elie. Thanks so much for watching!
hi please can i ask u please
I love the ring at the end. It's such a beautiful piece. And a beautiful way to commemorate quality time with family!! Beautiful!
Nature's gifts are so beautiful.
Great job, I love finding garnets. I found a whole bunch of them in central Washington while looking for gold. I collected quite a bit.
Reminds me on collecting amber on the west coast of denmark back in the days. Same size stones but other color :-)
I love that your mom made you something so special!
What a relaxing time. So meditative.
Wow, i found your channel today and it was fascinating! I had no idea you could find garnet on the beach. Good vid!
There was only one gem in this video and that was your voice. Loved the video. Keep up the good work!
Its really nice to hear your voice its so sweet and you both are lucky you're in a place where you can go easily to find treasure gems.
The treasures you and mum find are beautiful but the one treasure you both have is spending time together I really enjoy watching your wonderful videos stay safe.
Thanks so much
When I lived in Nevada, we went to Garnet Hill, and found lots of garnets, that were also ruby red, but they looked like they were faceted!
Wow! they sound amazing xx
There’s a “gem mining” place in Helen GA where you can find tons of huge uncut garnets, bigger than quarters!
The yellow stone, or gem, may be a "citrine". Semi-precious, and beautiful. You may want to look it up.
You put a big smile on my face every time. Yay
What a beautiful little ring. Garnet is my birthstone. Such nice memories of the search for it and special time spent with each other.
the building at 7:42 looks like a big coffee mug lol
4:08
Yer clapping the grun hen.
😜
I really enjoyed this video. The ring your mom made is absolutely beautiful! I love that the garnet was left rough and the simple, yet lovely metal work compliments the stone perfectly!
Garnets are my most favorite stone. I like it more than diamonds. The different colors very from blood red to auburn brown . I'm so envious that you have these wonderful places that you find such treasures of the past. I love your talent of repurposing old broken bits and turning them into such wonderful things. Bless and prayers to your whole family .
Nice, very nice. Nicola White recommended you. I' m glad she did.
How interesting and fun.
I was shifting for tourmalines in San Deigo, CA when one of my table partners gave me the advice of wearing polarized sunglasses to enhance the ability to see the crystals. I am curious if that would work for you.
Great video.
Lovely scenery, beautiful day, makes us forget the stress for a while! Thanks ladies!
Hugs to you both for taking us along. Such fun. God bless you both.
