Thanks for watching & subscribing y’all! I’ve been “sprucing” up my thumbnails to get some outside attention. The videos have and will always remain true to life and all real! Just needed to keep up with TH-cam algorithms so getting a bit playful and having fun with the thumbnails now! Hope y’all are enjoying the videos! Going to Herkimer, NY soon to do more filming!!
I live right near Herkimer, NY. There is a place just 30 min south where you can dig really nice Travertine, Calcite crystals, and find Eurypterid fossils! All for free. If you are ever in Central NY and want to collaborate, I'll show you those spots. I'm going to upload a video showing off the Eurypterid fossils I have found there next Thursday. Great Video, Rocks and Minerals are Awesome!
Except it wasn't going that way. That Terrapin cursed his name as he picked him up. "Wait! What are you doing? I just came from there! It took me all day to get that far. Why don't you just mind your own business, goody 2 shoes." Take your pick of cute turtle voices to read it in.
I love the thought of how much cool stuff is underneath our feet at any given moment. Like when he says “these are the good spots”, there could be so so much more that just hasn’t be unearthed yet.
When I was a little kid I was obsessed with rocks, I had books and a whole rock collection. Now that I’m older I discovered your channel and it’s reminded me that I’m never too old to enjoy this kind of stuff.
You and matrix are such a joy to watch. I am disabled and bedridden so I am living vicariously through you. I love the iridescent Hematite. It is beautiful.
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty Rockhound here... Me too! Isn't this so exciting!! What a world we live in!! Technology and caring people bringing rock hunting to us so we can continue feeling the passion of the hunt. Peace be with you!
As an animal lover thank you so much for saving that turtle, you did exactly what your supposed to do, take it to the direction it was facing and set it down
Your enthusiasm and good-natured attitude really lifts my spirits, fella. Your incredible finds and your lovely dog are the icing on the cake. Best wishes from England. 👍
One thing you do that others dont is explain. Others will show digging and finding but you explain what to look for to find certain specimens. I like that because your vids are educational. Thank you.
Wow, these iridescent hematite crystals from Graves Mt. Georgia are truly stunning! The colors and shimmer of these crystals are simply mesmerizing and it's amazing to think about the natural processes that created such beautiful formations. It's no wonder that Graves Mt. is known for producing some of the world's best iridescent hematite crystals. Thanks for sharing this incredible find with us!"
I find this subject so interesting and the fact that ANYONE could do it makes it all the more appealing. At the moment I watch and absorb as much info as I can get my hands on, I just love the beauty and excitement of finding something beautiful literally in the dirt.
I'm so happy to discover you you showed up in my feed today. Such an exciting experience watching you do this. I'm planning a trip to Graves mountain that's for sure!
Well stop the bus/RV and save that turtle 🐢, and you did! You are a kind person. Those hematite treasures are amazing. I winced when you hit your knuckle with the hammer. Hopefully you didn't break anything, it probably was sore for awhile. Last but definitely not least Matrix is a STAR! Thanks for showing us these earthly treasures.
Just found this video and while I love rocks the part with the turtle made my day. My callsign in the military was Turtle(Then changed to Donatello) and what you did for that turtle earned you my full respect and my sub.
I love rocks and minerals and with my health declining I'm unable to go rock hounding myself anymore and it drives me crazy now that I can't go out in nature anymore and search for them anymore and I just want to say thanks for people like you that makes videos searching for them and I can still see the beauty of the minerals and Crystal's and rocks and bring them into my home through video thanks again for what you do.
Well done for saving the turtle. Those haematite rocks are amazing with all the colours in them. That iridescent green in the pocket was awesome and Matrix had a good day helping.
So fun to view your experience. Thanks for taking us along and sharing your excitement. Best wishes. You really know what you're doing. Keep posting your adventures, guys! Love it.
It's so refreshing to see that loving rocks and gems is not even as uncommon as I thought, and that so many people become ~flabbergasted seeing such amazing specimens come from the Earth! I definitely gotta start mining my own, watching your videos now has really inspired that haha!
Been watching your channel for 4 years, I see every video in my recommended and I’m like,”why not watch it again just one more time.” I finish the video, and I’m like,”just one more time last time I promise.”
Brilliant videos..love seeing these beautiful Crystal's coming straight out of the earth and the joy that comes with it!thankyou for saving the turtle,you and matrix are beautiful travelling spirits crossing the earth and showing it off in all its beauty..just love these videos..THANKYOU from UK ❤
Wow, I’d love to go crystal digging. That place is amazing. And to think the Earth created them millions of years ago. 😲😲. On some of the beaches here in fife Scotland you can pan for small rubies and garnets. They are the most beautiful red. Nothing like the smorgasbord of crystals you have there tho. Thank you for sharing 🤗💕🏴
That is SO cool and beautiful!! Those vibrant colors are so bright that it doesn't look like something one would find in nature. But it is. Also, thanks for saving the turtle!!! I do that too!
It's not. They placed these here and then dug them up. It's made by adding a luster to Hematite. It comes off after time but they shouldn't be selling them as natural when they have added chemicals to make them look this way.
Way cool! Saving that little turtle, and loving your pooch the way you do along with your love of digging and finding the beauty God left us, and last but not least your winning personality keep me loving your channel. Thanks for giving me something to feel good about in this time of uncertainty in our country. God bless you and the ones you love
Those crystals were beautiful! When I worked at the California State mining Museum we had some beautiful examples of hematite but no crystallized form was on display. I found a place to stop on my travels. Thank you.
1st time watching your channel and just u stopping to get that turtle out the road is y I will be continuing to watch your page, because I love watching people dig and find beautiful crystals, but just that act of kindness to nature will have me back for every upload and I’m going to binge watch all your old uploads all night thank you 😊
It's so nice to watch a mining video where people are actually finding genuine gems and minerals out of actual pockets of material!Some of the other videos on YT are so contrived, retrieving gems out of 'host' rock that looks suspiciously like concrete mixed with stucco! Thanks for being real, and saving a turtle to boot!
Yes, I’ve seen those videos, I think that’s actually what they are doing is gluing stuff not rocks then digging them back out again 😆 thanks for the support and watching
Omg.. I've never even heard of this type of Hemitite...it's absolutely stunning!! And I always always always stop and take the tarapens across the road but I usually take them way way up away from the road on whichever side of the road they were going toward and if there's no field or woods or an area big enough so that it won't get turned around and get back into the road after I leave😁I love all animals more so than life itself
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty Rockhound here: Matrix helping rescue the tortoise... What a guy! He's a man's man...a rock hound's ROCK HOUND!! Amazing site! Wonderful dig! I'm buzzing, man! Thank you for taking me with you!
Love this channel. I have to work, all my time spent working. But if I have a minute, I always watch you. I am a rock hound, with no time to do what you do.
I'm new to your channel and I'm so happy I found you. I love what you do and the amazing treasures you find! Makes me smile watching the adventures of you and Matrix. BTW, saving that little turtle was such a cool thing to do. 😎
Bryan I am amazed at the most beautiful colours of the crystals you dug, they are gorgeous sweetheart. I've rarely seen anything like them before. Terry reminded me that we went to the Blue John mine shop I would have loved to have gone down the mine but I was on crutches because of my arthritis and it wasn't safe for me but I was shown a lot of the Blue John and Terry brought a piece for me which I treasure. It has similar colour and that blue is a wonderful shade and it sparkles, lovely. I had to laugh at Matrix making the ledge you made larger and then lying down for a rest on it, he is one cheeky little chap lol. Take care and stay safe please my friend God bless you both love and hugs to you and Matrix Mary-Ellen UK
Yea Matrix is a funny one! 😆 love him dearly 💜 about 10 years ago I found a super large pocket but wasn’t filming anything back then. Your package should be to you soon! Sent an email with tracking pic 💎💜💯⚒💯💎
@@TheCrystalCollector thank you sweetheart and I have read the email, thank you again. You are a very lovely and kind young man. God bless you love and hugs to you and Matrix XOXO
Thanks for saving the turtle and putting him in the direction he was heading, a lot of people don’t realize that if they are heading somewhere you put them in the way they are facing because if you don’t they will just try to do it again which means a second crossing with more potential for harm. So thank you for that. Also, I’ve been watching all your videos recently me and my kids are trying to rock hound, just starting to learn, we live in NH and I know most mountain is a place to go, and I saw dig Maine gems that you have a video of, and also you finding amethyst in Maine we live in the white mountains on a lake, on a campground so we did some rockhounding on the lake and out in the woods where no one knows we go except my parents haha it’s kinda “untouched” it used to be a dump site so we have found a lot of trash- cleaning that up as we go but we have been finding a ton of smoky quarts, obviously granite cuz ya know granite state, and some very pretty other things that I don’t know what they are I wish I had someone to help identify all cuz now we kinda have a massive collection of rocks, but something the kids and I have found a lot of is meteor pieces I even found a really large one in the lake! My dad couldn’t and wouldn’t believe that my kid had a small meteor piece in between two magnets and my dads like “it’s because it’s so thin it’s just the magnets pulling together.” and I said oh yea? Got a bigger magnet and handed it to him and set quartz and the meteor peices down on the table I said go ahead try the quartz obviously nothing, then here you go try these, and he was then playing with it like a kid. Which was funny sense he didn’t believe us at first. I now have a jar started of all the small pieces I have found my son has some bigger ones the big one I found In The lake is bigger than my hand. Really pretty pinkish colors to it. But we have found a lot of pretty things that I don’t even know the names of. I guess I have a bit of a learning disability and my son has special needs and he’s always loved rocks he will collect them and give them to people as a way of showing love or friendship. He picks ones that makes him think of you. So needless to say anything he finds pretty he picks up, I’m kinda the same way, we can identify granite and rosé granite but there are so many things we don’t know and watching videos are a great resource but looking at something and trying to figure out what it is is fairly hard for me. I have one club I joined but it was fairly advanced group and I was let in because I’m trying to learn and find places local to bring my kids but people don’t want to sit there and be like ok that video your showing me is this or that picture is that. Which makes it really difficult for me because I’m trying but if someone could ID them for me then I can go off of that ID of ok now I know anything that looks like this is….. and so on. But your videos brighten my day and makes me excited to find more things, and find more places to go. I don’t have a lot of money, and I don’t have my kids full time I get them weekends and vacations and summer vacation but I did see that from watching your video of dig Maine gems that you can actually order dirt and when I told my son that he was like can you do that for my birthday but the thing is I know sense both my kids enjoy rock hounding and my oldest wants to be a geologist and is super into looking for fossils they said instead of going to a amusement park of their choice for their birthdays they would rather go on adventures to find fossils and rocks and crystals. My oldest son was a tiny bit mad he didn’t come out with me and my other son this past week, we where on the lake and my kid found an actual arrowhead when he picked it up I was like no way, cuz usually he would pick up pointy rocks and say look is this an arrowhead so when he picked it up I was like no F-ing way! Yes buddy that is an arrowhead my dad took a look and said it has to be at least 100years old. But idk who to go to find out more about it. So we went back out the next day to that spot to see if maybe we could find any more or any other type of artifacts and if not we can at least clean up glass and trash. We had a lot of rain- and all the landlocked areas the lake has now filled up and is all the way back to shore now so even though crystal clear water we can still walk in and look through the water to find things it’s not like going and digging through the silt and mud and clay and stuff looking. But now I found a new spot on the property that the kids haven’t been here this week and so I started digging this spot and I found some really interesting blue shiny thing it’s got layers it’s super weird but really pretty and when I showed my son he was like woah! So needless to say going back there and I’m finding some like greenish color rocks but some have smoky growing off of it. Really pretty. I think my kids and I would really like to find amethyst but yea. I wish I could travel with them and go to a place like this place, my kid would lose his mind finding something so pretty like that and I can picture his face which makes me really want to find something amazing like this because I really know he would love it and my other son would probably freeze looking at something so beautiful. So this year, this summer I’m really hoping we can go legit rockhounding some mountains but first I need to get some essential tools and first aid cuz I’m on a blood thinner and that in itself is an accident waiting to happen. Anywho, I really do enjoy your videos and your finds and the hard work you’ve put into it. I wish I could travel In an rv with my kids and do that. Anyways, keep doing your adventures and rock hounding! I love your videos man! Sorry I rambled and I’m not rereading the whole thing so I apologize for any spelling mistakes or whatever I’m not a really good speller even though I’m 32. Just something I’ve always struggled with. I guess goes with my learning disability, dyslexia really doesn’t help. So I apologize if I put PDBs where one or the other is supposed to go- those are the worst for me haha. Again imma keep watching your videos I also shared them with my kids. They really like them too!
Seriously, those two dudes as your backup audience...too funny. A little over the top with their enthusiasm! Love watching. Long time rock hounder but haven't been for the last 6 years...miss it.
Yeah they were really stoked to be there, it was their first day at this site, and they were tripping out on seeing these iridescent crystals, they are really spectacular!
I am ready and excited to be going next weekend! tomorrow booking hotel for a 2 night stay but 3 days mining! AAAHHH! Gen the gem collector is back in action! Reminds me of my first 2 stones, I found a desert rose in illinois AND a fossilized mini honeycomb. Any-who this will be my husbands first time mining and soon he will feel the thrilling RUSH that is gemstone hunting!!
Omg I dont really leave comments like this but Man! Thank you for saving that turtle.I think thats why mother nature is good for taking care of her creatures. Thats why she blesses you with beautiful crystals! Your awesome bro! 😀🐢
I enjoy all of your videos, but this one has been the most surprising in color. It is always interesting to learn about host rocks and patters of earth for locating the gems and minerals. You make learning very fun!
Wow, The Ebay Store is gonna be getting a nice influx of specimens when you get these cleaned up. Those are off the chain! Graves Mountain is one of those places where it's like the Earth just belched up everything it had in inside at one time. Which is a good thing.
O.K., so me and the rest of your audience LOVE our turtles! 🐢 Thanks again for saving the little guy! You're a champ!! Matrix adds a whole new meaning to the term "rock hound"!!! 😄😄😅😅🤩
Thanks for watching & subscribing y’all!

Beautiful Hematite crystals. Learning so much from you Brian. Can't wait to see what's next.
Saving the turtle earned you points in my book. I appreciate that.
Don't turtles live in water? I think that one was a tortoise, but I might be wrong. Edit: He still earns the points though! lol

Nobody is, I've been getting back into pokemon cards and gaming again
Yes, when I was a kid I collect colour full rock then its disappear. My mom do throw it away 🥲
YEEESSSS :D
What sucks about being interested in rocks and minerals as a kid is you can't go rock hunting in good places like mountains
I didn’t collect rocks I collected sticks
As a geologist i have to say finding these crystals is an amazing feeling
As an astronaut, I say I agree.

Also, I’ve been watching all your videos recently me and my kids are trying to rock hound, just starting to learn, we live in NH and I know most mountain is a place to go, and I saw dig Maine gems that you have a video of, and also you finding amethyst in Maine we live in the white mountains on a lake, on a campground so we did some rockhounding on the lake and out in the woods where no one knows we go except my parents haha it’s kinda “untouched” it used to be a dump site so we have found a lot of trash- cleaning that up as we go but we have been finding a ton of smoky quarts, obviously granite cuz ya know granite state, and some very pretty other things that I don’t know what they are I wish I had someone to help identify all cuz now we kinda have a massive collection of rocks, but something the kids and I have found a lot of is meteor pieces I even found a really large one in the lake! My dad couldn’t and wouldn’t believe that my kid had a small meteor piece in between two magnets and my dads like “it’s because it’s so thin it’s just the magnets pulling together.” and I said oh yea? Got a bigger magnet and handed it to him and set quartz and the meteor peices down on the table I said go ahead try the quartz obviously nothing, then here you go try these, and he was then playing with it like a kid. Which was funny sense he didn’t believe us at first. I now have a jar started of all the small pieces I have found my son has some bigger ones the big one I found In The lake is bigger than my hand. Really pretty pinkish colors to it. But we have found a lot of pretty things that I don’t even know the names of. I guess I have a bit of a learning disability and my son has special needs and he’s always loved rocks he will collect them and give them to people as a way of showing love or friendship. He picks ones that makes him think of you. So needless to say anything he finds pretty he picks up, I’m kinda the same way, we can identify granite and rosé granite but there are so many things we don’t know and watching videos are a great resource but looking at something and trying to figure out what it is is fairly hard for me. I have one club I joined but it was fairly advanced group and I was let in because I’m trying to learn and find places local to bring my kids but people don’t want to sit there and be like ok that video your showing me is this or that picture is that. Which makes it really difficult for me because I’m trying but if someone could ID them for me then I can go off of that ID of ok now I know anything that looks like this is….. and so on. But your videos brighten my day and makes me excited to find more things, and find more places to go. I don’t have a lot of money, and I don’t have my kids full time I get them weekends and vacations and summer vacation but I did see that from watching your video of dig Maine gems that you can actually order dirt and when I told my son that he was like can you do that for my birthday but the thing is I know sense both my kids enjoy rock hounding and my oldest wants to be a geologist and is super into looking for fossils they said instead of going to a amusement park of their choice for their birthdays they would rather go on adventures to find fossils and rocks and crystals. My oldest son was a tiny bit mad he didn’t come out with me and my other son this past week, we where on the lake and my kid found an actual arrowhead when he picked it up I was like no way, cuz usually he would pick up pointy rocks and say look is this an arrowhead so when he picked it up I was like no F-ing way! Yes buddy that is an arrowhead my dad took a look and said it has to be at least 100years old. But idk who to go to find out more about it. So we went back out the next day to that spot to see if maybe we could find any more or any other type of artifacts and if not we can at least clean up glass and trash. We had a lot of rain- and all the landlocked areas the lake has now filled up and is all the way back to shore now so even though crystal clear water we can still walk in and look through the water to find things it’s not like going and digging through the silt and mud and clay and stuff looking. But now I found a new spot on the property that the kids haven’t been here this week and so I started digging this spot and I found some really interesting blue shiny thing it’s got layers it’s super weird but really pretty and when I showed my son he was like woah! So needless to say going back there and I’m finding some like greenish color rocks but some have smoky growing off of it. Really pretty. I think my kids and I would really like to find amethyst but yea. I wish I could travel with them and go to a place like this place, my kid would lose his mind finding something so pretty like that and I can picture his face which makes me really want to find something amazing like this because I really know he would love it and my other son would probably freeze looking at something so beautiful. So this year, this summer I’m really hoping we can go legit rockhounding some mountains but first I need to get some essential tools and first aid cuz I’m on a blood thinner and that in itself is an accident waiting to happen. Anywho, I really do enjoy your videos and your finds and the hard work you’ve put into it. I wish I could travel In an rv with my kids and do that. Anyways, keep doing your adventures and rock hounding! I love your videos man! Sorry I rambled and I’m not rereading the whole thing so I apologize for any spelling mistakes or whatever I’m not a really good speller even though I’m 32. Just something I’ve always struggled with. I guess goes with my learning disability, dyslexia really doesn’t help. So I apologize if I put PDBs where one or the other is supposed to go- those are the worst for me haha. Again imma keep watching your videos I also shared them with my kids. They really like them too!
bro wrote a whole essay
props for the effort
This guy talks exactly like Tree Trunks from Adventure Time, and I love it.
Now this is the guy that could make you understand crystals, not some teenager with a few plastic rocks, explaining that it gives you powers and such.
I love your channel! I love crystals! I loveeee matrix!!! You are hilarious 🤣 ♥️
Seriously, those two dudes as your backup audience...too funny. A little over the top with their enthusiasm! Love watching. Long time rock hounder but haven't been for the last 6 years...miss it.
I just love going on adventures with you and Matrix it is such fun and interesting at the same time. :)
The reaction from your friends is the best part of this video. They are so happy for you!
Yeah they were really stoked to be there, it was their first day at this site, and they were tripping out on seeing these iridescent crystals, they are really spectacular!
The sweetest looking Hematite I ever seen. What information too. More Please!!!
I am ready and excited to be going next weekend! tomorrow booking hotel for a 2 night stay but 3 days mining! AAAHHH! Gen the gem collector is back in action! Reminds me of my first 2 stones, I found a desert rose in illinois AND a fossilized mini honeycomb. Any-who this will be my husbands first time mining and soon he will feel the thrilling RUSH that is gemstone hunting!!
Absolutely obsessed with you and matrix, so cute!
Не все понимают перевод надо
Amazing. The earth is beautiful!!
Love your little dog, so cute ❤
You had me at iridescent!😍❤😁......And saving the turtle, I do that all the time😀
dude, i love you, anyone who is an animal lover has the kindest hearts, may sunshine always shine on you!!!!
My God, every single one of these are absolutely beautiful! Even the less brightly coloured ones!
Omg I dont really leave comments like this but Man! Thank you for saving that turtle.I think thats why mother nature is good for taking care of her creatures. Thats why she blesses you with beautiful crystals! Your awesome bro! 😀🐢
I enjoy all of your videos, but this one has been the most surprising in color. It is always interesting to learn about host rocks and patters of earth for locating the gems and minerals. You make learning very fun!
Came here from a scam fake crystals video.. Your channel it's unbelievably beautiful! Thanks for this real footage of your excavation!!
Matrix is the cutest, happiest doggo! Living the life

Wow, The Ebay Store is gonna be getting a nice influx of specimens when you get these cleaned up. Those are off the chain!
Graves Mountain is one of those places where it's like the Earth just belched up everything it had in inside at one time. Which is a good thing.
