Finding Golden Healers and Other Crystals at Avatar Crystal Mine!!

- Last Saturday, March 4th, I was fortunate enough to visit the Avatar Crystal Mine for my very first time. It's located outside of Mt. Ida, Arkansas nestled between Wegner Crystal Mine and Crystal Vista.
The digging area is nearly a half mile off the road along a gravel drive going back to the mine. The road is pretty easy until you get to the gate, then it starts to get a little more rough.
You can surface search, dig in tailings piles, or find a vein in a wall.
For this video, I primarily show surface searching and working a section of a wall getting into a vein.
I had a wonderful time at the Avatar Crystal Mine, and would definitely go back!
Blessings!

Maybe investing in a battery powered hammer drill and a few feather and wedges to help pop off those bigger sections of limestone.
Awesome video! This was a fun day exploring a mine we hadn’t been to yet. It was great being out there with you, my friend. We all went home with some nice finds!
I know it didn’t quite start out the way we were hoping, but by the end of the day I was having a lot of fun. We need to go dig again soon. 😊
Hey Joe, the crystals you mentioned with the extra side that are a diamond shape are called window crystals. Nice finds!
Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you, my friend!!
Nice to meet you that day.. I hear my voice and seen the last 3 that I found… happy hounding!!!
Well shoot , I have never been to that mine , looks like you added a new spot for me to hit
It rained a lot prior to us coming, so the road back got a little rough after you pass through the gate. So if you do go, take Dustin’s car. 🤣
@@joedadbod8450 🤣🤣🤣 Will do ( hope he dont read this 😅)
@@huntingrocks 🤣😂
Badass brother
Loved the cartoon as a kid. I don’t remember much of it, other than a character being killed off the first episode. High stakes out the gate.
Hi joe! First of all thank you for the video it was fun to watch as usual. It was fun digging with you and wright rocks at this mine. The crystal tip Abby hase it is a smoke fantom she really enjoyed digging with us all. She said you were so nice even when you too were poking fun at each other 😂. Thanks for the great time. See you soon at the gim a mineral show in April. Till next time keep on digging. Again great time. Cant wait to we do it again.
It was my pleasure to get to dig with you guys and get to know you a bit more. I had a lot of fun!! 😊
What type of tools are you using to break into the sandstone? You mentioned a drill, what type of bits would you use. Great video and info!
Eat your heart out Aura quartz. This is the REAL deal. Great video! Yeah you need a hammer drill lol.
Thanks Dustin!! When are you coming down to some of the mines in Arkansas this spring?
@@joedadbod8450 I’m not sure! I was looking at my schedule yesterday… eventually I’m just going to have to pick a time. I keep having things come up that are expensive. Car and home repairs have been really hitting me hard lately! I’m going to have to sell some rocks or something 🤪 to get more rocks 😂
Found you recently and I’m loving your videos! I’d love to take my seven year old granddaughter to dig for crystals this summer. We’ve never been. Where in Arkansas would you recommend the two of us novices begin? Any other suggestions? We welcome your thoughts. Thanks so much.
I know this is an old question, but: Coleman's, Avant Mining Fisher Mountain & of course Crater of Diamonds.
What tools, picks? Shovels? Knives? .. allowed?
As far as I know, you can use any hand tool. I mainly used a pick, rock hammer, a couple of chisels, and a 3 foot crowbar. I had a larger pick that I used for a little bit, but I don’t think it was necessary to have it at all.
A 3 pronged garden cultivator tool could be good for going through the piles.
Also, parts are wide open to sun exposure, so consider headwear and possibly a cushion to sit on (the good Lord made me a little extra padded already, so I was fine 🤣).
How much was it to dig?
I hate to see the word heal associated with crystals
