It must be hard on your gear and hands working frozen ground like that. While others wait for the thaw the digdigdig team are out there finding pockets. The fish bowl (thingie) lens is cool, it took a little getting used to but it takes the wobble and scatter out of the video and kind of floats which is awesome. Great work Shawn and pretty finds once again 🌟👍🏼
It would be great, the crystals all cleaned up. It's kind of hard to get a good look at them in the video,. I am in Californa atm but am from Reading Pa. I think it's great your finding Crystals. :)
In california. Have good. Cristals. I founded one. Better the cuartzo. Is one un cut diamon. Is really. I have. With my mother. Pas añl text. For. Good diamond. Is here in california. Plus i fuonded to many cuartzos diferentes colors and i don't. Do like the guys in the video. Just where i worck. The animals push out ground.
I'd love to know how to get out and start finding stuff like this, i had a few knee surgeries and can't do any types of contact sports anymore, i feel like this is something i could really enjoy. i'd love just a little info to get started
The clay was frozen, and most of the exact spots I was hammering into had little to no crystals....the crystals were mostly just to the right or to the left....I was riding the line of the meat of the pocket...which was mostly just small to medium points and clusters.
Jason Patrick. Your probably from a place like Florida or Southern California where you get no ice. If he hit soft, the ice wouldn’t break away and he’d be there for twice as long. He was also hammering to the side of the vain, not in it where you’d find the best crystals
My mom grew up there and there use to be big beautiful caves she would find and go into and collect a bunch of AMAZING crystals that some has never seen before. Now it's a shame because people tore them caves out to build. Sad ....if only they knew what they destroyed.
I have found I can get into the pit. Putz around. Find lots of little points. I can find old seams folks seem to have found. I am certain many pockets remain but thus far I only find smalls.
Hey Shawn, I just moved out to weatherly and was curious about this location. Where exactly is it? My family and I usually go hunting in nj and upstate ny
For Pennsylvania quartz, this was an average to above average pocket..Herkimer area NY & Arkansas are a bit more productive than PA for quartz crystals.
Hey Shawn! I love to mine for crystals and fossils but I’m usually doing it alone. Would love to meet up and mine with you if you are interested! I found a pocket of quartz by my house in the Poconos pa we can mine too.
Blur, gloves. More blur and a headache trying to spot the crystals. Train your camera person, get a better camera, do something, or honey, don't bother filming.
I like very much Shawn!! Very cool.... so much fun is all I see!!

These are friends, the Area 51 team....I wont dig under 40 degrees lol....60 degrees minimum if we have the baby with us.

Debra Brooks some highlights are here Quartz Crystals(and Mining Them) in McAdoo, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.

@Bill- Yeah the White Haven locality is off the bike path about a mile south of the tannery bridge...can't miss the sparklies on a sunny day.
I wouldn't dig like this there though haha....it is patrolled and under state park regs.

Close-up shots of the gloves, almost no view of the crystals.
@Michael Schleckser - We're digging in sandstone which lies above a coal seam(at a big old strip mine pit)
Shawn can describe the geology of were you are digging, why are there quartz crystals there....thanks
This makes me really want to go crystal mining. I can't think of a place here in Indiana to do that, though.
but seriously though he is hammering into that very carelessly

Should bring a screen-sieve/classifier with you.
👍💎👍 good job 👍 stone crystal in very good video
I wish that I lived near where you can mine for crystals
Do you think the mountains near Halifax would be a good place to look for crystals???
Are crystals always associated with that type if clay? -Venango County
Yes it absolutely is. Roots love the clay too because it holds moisture.
are the deposited area in small patches or in large one lump area?
They form in veins that could be tiny or run for miles.
Hello..my husband and I have been there but couldn't find a way to get down. Are there any accessible areas for those of us with physical limitations?
My mom grew up there and there use to be big beautiful caves she would find and go into and collect a bunch of AMAZING crystals that some has never seen before. Now it's a shame because people tore them caves out to build. Sad ....if only they knew what they destroyed.
Such a shame. I am going to McAdoo for the first time in a few weeks. I would love to come hme withe the crystals your mom got.
I've been to McAdoo a couple times and would be really interested to know how you find an actual pocket/seam? Are you at the echo?
I have found I can get into the pit. Putz around. Find lots of little points. I can find old seams folks seem to have found. I am certain many pockets remain but thus far I only find smalls.

Cool channel I smashed the Bell 🔔😎👍
Would of been nice to see the crystals after cleaning.
www.mcadooquartz.com has some of the nicer examples from the locality.
These were mainly small clusters and small to medium points...nothing to write home about this day.
At the same time, this is one of the most interesting and most boring vids I've ever seen.
For Pennsylvania quartz, this was an average to above average pocket..Herkimer area NY & Arkansas are a bit more productive than PA for quartz crystals.
Shawn i Have a spot in Palmerton with water clear solution quartz crystals wondering if the crystals from this area are similar
weezle2371 the spot by the pool? yep, they are similar to Palmerton and White Haven.
interesting research
I have a satanic cucaracho in my living room
Technically its not in McAdoo.. super easy collecting.
WOULD LOVE TO FIND CRYSTALS. CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE THIS IS??
❤️❤️⭐💎⭐💎
Like amigo
can someone please message me the directions to the White Haven site? I haven't had any luck : [
Its called the echo. near McAdoo, Pa.
This is expensive can get money I have lot of stones
Inscrito,1385,,,super like,,,bonitas drusas,,,👍👍🇧🇷
is this from the echo or the working mine?
The working one, when they were open.
Hey Shawn! I love to mine for crystals and fossils but I’m usually doing it alone. Would love to meet up and mine with you if you are interested! I found a pocket of quartz by my house in the Poconos pa we can mine too.
Lindsey, I live in upper Bucks county. Just starting to hunt. If you still are intrested,, , I would love to hunt with you.
No after cleaning wow 😮
This was 6 years ago...I'll try to do cleanup shots for future vids, especially the PA stuff that is so muddy coming out...
DigDigDig that would be amazing man everyone likes to watch that dirty crystals being cleaned up at the end of the video 👌🏻😊
