      ​@@peterbennett1286personally I think it's a shame that people have to be so stingy that they can't share at least an approximate location where these are being found! I live in the Montana mountains, so I know how big these areas can be, so to me telling people an approximate area is not going to hurt anything, because there's so much area these people that know about this spot will never ever in their lifetime dig up that massive of an area! I despise people who won't allow fellow Montanan's to know where to find some of these! The one good thing is that I know what these guys look like, and so I will keep an eye out for them, and I will just follow them to this area! 👍

      @@TheCrystalCollector Would the hike be about equivalent to Crystal Vista in AR, in distance and steepness? It is less of a clear path it looked like there in Montana.
      I would LOVE to get the chance to dig with you again this year. That was a ton of fun. You did a great job making sure everyone had awesome stuff and were happy with their experience. You set the high bar!
      My wife's family lives in eastern WA, and I'm planning on going out to the PNW this summer to visit them. I have been watching some of your other Montana videos too, trying to get an idea of places I can stop along the way between AR and WA. You had one video with Nico and Jesse Stewart, and that's a spot I may stop at for a bit too.

I had a whole bunch of beautiful display specimens that I bought over the years, but unfortunately lost most of my collection when our landlord that we rented our storage unit through, decided to take everything because we were supposedly several months behind when we never missed a payment... If my dad hadn't have let me start getting my crystal orders sent to his apartment, I wouldn't have anything left 😢 I miss him so much, he loved crystals just as much as I did, he passed away last year 💔

    Hi Bryan and friends.
    Have just found your u-tubes, watched the jerkier dig from 2 years ago, and now this.
    Are you familiar with Morello Smoky Quartz?
    They’re only found near the Grampians in Victoria Australia.
    Mostly small compared with the large Herkimers,
    They are double pointed
    and gloriously filled with rainbows.
    I bought about 20 from a geologist who excavated them 18 feet down.
    They too seem to occur in pockets.
    Just love rocks and crystals of any shapes and sizes.
    From age 2-3 I had a designated box in our car to put my collections in!
    Best regards Ruth

    Montana is loaded with so many cool rocks. Maybe even more than Missouri! 😂 nah it is. I think there’s probably more quartz in Missouri and Arkansas but nothing like this. I think that makes Quartz so fun there’s so much variety. What do you think am I right about Missouri/Arkansas or is there somewhere else in the country that has more quartz? You’ve been around more than me what do you think?

      I'm currently in Michigan, U.S.A. I live with my kids. I was never physically able to rockhound up here... but I've obtained a few rocks from up here by online shopping. Prior to that, I've lived in several locations throughout the Western U.S.! One of my favorite areas to hunt is Mt. Ida, Arkansas, and do mining of the quartz crystals. My other favorite crystal/mineral collecting sites are in Idaho, Montana, and Colorado in the U.S.
      Do you rockhound? Where and for what?
      Nice to meet you,
