- I am so excited to finally have gotten back to Hogg Mine in Lagrange, GA for a second time! The first time I went to Hogg Mine, I found tons of Black Tourmaline, some Rose Quartz, and NO BERYL! I couldn't handle that I didn't find any great pieces of Beryl the first time, so this time I really focused hard on finding the Beryl!

What a pleasant comment section to browse thru.
First time ive said that with no sarcasm intended
We have a great and positive community here on this channel that's for sure ☺️
Kyle, your casual enthusiasm and positivity are really enjoyable and your videos totally ease the stress of these chaotic times. Keep up the good work!
This guy should have 100,000 + subscribers he “rocks”
Thank you, and I love the rock pun 😂
You guys made me pray to God that Philippines specifically here where I work have parcels like yours full of gorgeous gemstones. I appreciate much for your sharing those happy inducer vids
This is not a lava flow you are digging in. This is aluvial scree and everything you are showing us has been removed from its matrix, but has not been worn smooth by water. So where is the living rock formation that all this stuff came from?
so, what do you do with that stuff. jewelry, etc????
Ihave those much more stons aquamarine
Kyle, I think Ashley is a beautiful "good luck charm" on your digs, hard worker too. It is such a thrill seeing you unearth these beauties!! New subscriber, looking forward to more WILD adventures with this channel! ⛏⚒⛏
Hey Kavannah! Welcome to the channel and thank you for subscribing! I appreciate you being here. It means a lot 😊✌️
Nice stuff again 👍👍👍
I recently found your channel through dallmyd and absolutely love it , my dad up and till the day he died could look at rock and tell you how it was formed and how it got there ,thankfully my daughters share that same love of geology with me as i did with my dad , thanks kyle,ashley and chris for the wonderful content!
This is awesome! I appreciate you taking the time to check out my channel 😊
@@WILDKYLE Im going to be a long term fan for sure, im sure your channel is gonna grow substantially and wish you well on your adventures but i do have to ask a question . when my dad passed away i inherited his rather large rock collection to include his geodes one of wich he never opened id like to make it into a display but im afraid to open it is there any tips to prevent from shattering the crystal formations inside? :) i do have a respirator as i know silicate dust can be pretty hazardous
Get some teal Gems.
Those pretty
Pretty
worth nothing beryl. mt antero has worlds finest worth 380 per carat from cardwell mine. please donate to rock club for practice
I have lived in LG my whole life and never knew about this mine that’s less than ten minutes from my house 🤦🏼♀️
Kyle: Very nice video. I have just one technical comment (can’t help it as I am a geologist⚒😀). You refer to the host rock of the minerals being collected as being part of a lava flow. A lava flow is an extrusive flow of igneous material on land or sea floor surfaces. The material you are collecting is from deeper, slow cooling (hence the crystals) magmatic origins later exposed by uplift and erosion. You are most likely collecting from pegmatitic zones in an ancient silicic pluton or batholith.
Thanks for the info Donald! That definitely helped me understand this a lot more. Next time I'm here I will be able to use the correct explanation!
Kyle: Thank you so much for your kind words. When it comes to the world of geology there is always something new to learn. Having traveled the world as a geologist I continue to be in awe of the complexity and mystery of our earth’s history. I truly appreciate your excitement over all matters geological and paleontological. It is that kind of enthusiasm that will hopefully excite many of your young viewers to pursue an interest in geology or some related scientific endeavor. Keep up the good work! I look forward to all your future videos.
@@donaldbrizzolara1217 Thank you Donald that means a lot to hear ☺️ I appreciate you being kind in your comment to help me understand these things better. I had a similar comment where someone was just rude and told me to edit out the nonsense. So I appreciate your patience and understanding ☺️
Hit me up if you’re ever in the St Louis area. I’ve found a great location for Missouri druse quartz!
That sounds amazing! I will definitely let you know!
Do you tumble these rocks? How do you use them?
Right at 4:50 a nice hex fell down right on your dirt pile. I yelled "There!" and pointed to it - lol
Hey could you tell me a good place to find fossils
Word Kyle found you now....let's Dance
Another great video
Thank you Sean I appreciate it!
💙👍🐠🤿🇦🇺dan
🤟🤟🤟
What’s the price for each. Of aquamarine beryl
Not for sale I'm sorry!
Does Hogg Mine allow wagons? For hauling tools and finds? How much are you allowed to take? I'm going in July and am looking for reliable info. New to rock hounding.
Yep you can bring a wagon to haul your stuff! I believe you can take as much as you want.
Millions and millions of years ago. Ha. Need a Sunday school lesson pard. Nice rocks tho!
Cool
GENIAL, DE ARGENTINA , 🙋💖👍👍👍
Genialisimo 🎉
Awesome haul and what beautiful stones. One day I hope to get to do that, along with shark tooth, and bottle hunting lol. BTW I'm so jealous if your hair. 😊
Thank you Michele! I've been growing it over a year now. I really need a trim and a touch up hahaha.
9:24 Wow this piece is fantastic. Wonderful color💙
❤️❤️❤️
Your so lucky to get to do this
Steven Universe!
Beautiful beryl! The blue is gorgeous, but it is all so unique and amazing. I received my agatized coral today, and it is lovely! Thanks, Kyle!😁💖
I can't wait to go back for more Beryl! Glad you like the coral Cynthia! It's beautiful stuff. ☺️
WILD KYLE IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL!!! Haha.
Ill trade you some columbia basin agates for some of that aquamarine-blue beryl and/or rose quartz! The more blue and pink the better.
i am so glad i watch palio chris he told me to come here and i am so so glad i do we need to get you to 100000 subscribers
Thank you 😊 I will get there! Just gotta be patient and work hard!
@@WILDKYLE we neeed to get you there
Hey Wild kyle wich friend of your is selling some mistery box fossil i forgot his name! Well if you do too that will be great.
I saw the comment/question below about polishing/cabbing or turning the stone in jewelry, and your response that you like to keep them in the form that you found them. So what is the end game there? Do you have buckets and shelves or display cases around your house with all the stuff that sits there for the next decade? Do you sell your findings to those who do lapidary work? I ask because I rock hound some myself and I cut and polish some myself too, but I am having the issue of running out of space and not being able to enjoy all the specimens that I find and keep house around. Also a good polish can bring out additional beauty of the stone. Want to know if the Beryl you found is typically used in jewelry or cut stones and has value for such?
I typically keep my favorite pieces in my collection and display them. I have a bunch of stuff I do with items I don't keep. I put some on my eBay store, I send some to my Patreon supporters, and I give lots away to my friends. I should have specified I like the beryl as I find it. When I find things like agatized coral I like to clean them up, and cut the geodes, and have the edges polished.
@@WILDKYLE I didn't see the link to your ebay store in the description, I would love to browse your selection
I wonder if there are any places to find cool stuff like that in southeast Texas??? Anyone know of anything?
I'm sure there's something cool to be found! I've not search there so I'm not sure. If anyone watching is from TX please chime in!
All help would be appreciated greatly. I've only lived here for 2 years. I'm originally from southeast NC and I will say I miss all the opportunities to find cool stuff.
my husband and I have been there, we had a blast. found a huge barrel
I am really wanting to checkout this place. GREAT video guys, loved it
I love rock hounding. I’m a little jealous.
You from GA we live down in the south will be taking our first trip up to hogg mine this coming up weekend thanks your video is helping get a grasp on what to look for
How was your visit? I live in Georgia also and wanna plan a trip.
@@fellbetke9304 its was alot of fun really enjoyed it, I recommend cooler weather!
You gotta go to Jackson's Crossroads mine in Georgia!!! Amethyst everywhere :)
I've been there a few times! Sadly they no longer allow filming there. 😩
Quick question Kyle, do you cut and polish those beautiful blue specimens or leave them as is? I can imagine that lining a gorgeous Bentwood ring or Pendant.
I like to keep them as I find them, but I agree that they could make some amazing jewelry!
@@WILDKYLE They really do tell a better story about our beautiful planet the way they are. I'm glad to see you preserve that history.
You found some absolutely beautiful stuff, glad you got more beryl this time. Another fabulous video!!
Thank you Jane! I told myself I wouldn't leave until I found a lot of Beryl to redeem myself from the last time I was there 😂
Hey, review your video.... At 4:48 mark while digging with the pick you flipped out about a three inch octagon which is plainly visible in the pile of dirt before you cover it up....
Just like the Beryl Pit in Ontario. Get there right after it has rained, dodge the mosquitoes, and collect lots of nice rocks.
There is a ton of Cat's Eye Aquamarine/Beryl at Hogg Mine
Thanks for your video can you help me thnw to clean Aquamarine and your you can sale it please and thank
Kyle - It looked like you & Ashley an amazing & fun time! Some gorgeous stones! Do you think that you will tumble or polish any of it?
Someone reading this, please tell me where you can do this in Europe! 🙏
And keep digging...both of you Cheers !!!!!
Have you found any gem quality minerals at Hogg mountain?
So jealous, I wish there were crystal mines here, in the uk. I think the closest one might be in Scotland... nearly 900 miles from me. 😬🤯Awesome video as always! ☺️
Thanks so much for watching Gerli! That's a long drive... might be worth it haha!
I LOVE the aquamarine! I can't wait to go to Hog Mine. Love your videos!
Hey man big fan love your videos I’ve been watching you for a long time keep up the good work
Thanks so much Ethan that means a lot! I appreciate you being here 😊
Love ur vids but could u make a tutorial how to get into mineralogy
Great idea!
Or geology... or archeology... or biology... or chemistry... or astronomy .. for pete's sake
You could read books. Research it. Write about it. You can't rely on others to do something for you in life. If you're just going to wait. Then, nothing will go your way. You control your destiny. Did Albert Einstein, Teddy Roosevelt, Alan Turing, President 5-star General Supreme Commander Dwight D Eisenhower, Abraham Lincoln, President Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, George Washington, MLK, JFK, Bill Nye, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Conan (Harvard grad to show host right now) , Confucius, Socrates, Sir Issac Newton, Plato, Darwin, and Leif Erikson etc. wait for things to happen? Nope! If you want something , go get it. I mean, I love all of that. Physics, meteorology, geography, history, the whole nine yards. Don't just comment about this shit. Its just downright stupid. Figure it out dude.
Go to college and study those topics like : Geology ( mineralogy is a sub category of it) , Archaeology, Chemistry. One video isn't going to do anything bud. Now me, I'm going to college after high school to community college for my associates in nursing to then, attain both my Bachelor's and Master's degree in the same likeness. To become a pain management nurse. Whom, will make over 100k while other people will only make 45-60k.
Might have to take a trip to Georgia soon! So awesome. In North Texas (Dallas area), I mostly find calcite and septarian nodules. I just got my first tumbler and the septarian comes out wicked cool! Would be happy to send you some raw and tumbled pieces. Not sure that FL has much septarian, if any, but you’d find them along Cretaceous Period formations, since it’s both a fossil and semi-precious gemstone. 🤙🏼
Go Ashley! Beautiful pieces.! Kyle that one stone was spectacular!
80 million years ago, really? Prove it
Thank you 😊
Hope to check it out !
Yall are killing it! Great video as always brother, thanksnfir bringing us along ive heard about that place.
Lmao kyle just dead half the video 😂
Great video man, love your editing style! I'm a wildlife videographer from NC who just got into rockhounding and fossil collecting this year, we should totally meet up somewhere in the Southeast and film a collab video sometime. Just let me know if you'd be interested!
Gorgeous pieces, Kyle! I'm envious right now. Thank you for the lesson on how the cryatals were formed.
So nice to watch your new style. Love it.
New subscriber. love you style wild Kyle :-) Super fun hunt, thanks for sharing. cricket
Thank you for joining this community! It is much appreciated 🙂
Another great video ! Keep em coming !
Thanks so much Mark! 🙂
what the hex(agon) Kyle this is so cool!! All of those rocks are so awesome!! If I had been there I would've picked up so much! probably more than I could've carried lol 😱🥰
Also, Ashley looks cute af in this video!
The stones are really beautiful. But, I kind of cracked up, when you said it was "freezing cold". I think "freezing cold" in Florida would be a warm to cool day in Pennsylvania, where I'm from. Lol. You made me think of when my fiancé said, that he was "frigging freezing", when the temperature was in the low 60's. He was born & raised in southern California. And, he totally couldn't understand how I could sit outside, when it was only 30 degrees and not complain about it being freezing. Lol.
Hahahaha yes it's crazy how living in Florida it starts to feel cold when it's 60 😂
WOW love the green-blue color! :-)
I didn't know that finding beryl turns people german? (6:12) ;)
OMG 😂😂😂
Hey btw this sort of mineralization doesn't occur in volcanoes. What you're mining is most likely a decomposed pegmatite. Pegmatite is igneous, but forms as an intrusion into metamorphic rock and cools very very slowly. Such slow rates of cooling aren't possible at the surface where volcanoes form
cooled magma, not cooled lava.
“Freezing”...for a Floridian! Lmao
😂
Yes 😂😂😂
I would love to have some of that Rose quartz
Mining all day is legit hard work! You found some very nice color there. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! ☺️
Nice green man
So beautiful.
I'm obsessed with the beryl! Hahaha
One more place to add to my East Coast Rock & Fossil trip, date TBD. Thanks for the delicious content!
Awesome! You'll definitely enjoy yourself at Hogg Mine. Such a good place!
I love your videos. I never realized rock hounding interested me until I started watching you. Thank you for that☺️
That's great to hear! Rockhounding is just one of the best hobbies there is hahaha.
Thanks for another video! What do you make with them and/or how do you display them?
I don't really make anything with them. I have displayed my favorite pieces on a shelf along with some fossils!
VERY COOL FINDS!! AQUAMARINE IS MY BIRTHSTONE.
That's awesome! It's such a beautiful stone.
Besides the awesome videos, you always have the best trucker hats when you wear them!
Thanks so much Alan hahaha! I consider myself a trucker hat connoisseur!
Your videos are incredible great finding beautiful rocks
Thank you Kayla! ☺️
another great video, Kyle. Keep doing them. It makes a world of difference to those who can't get out.
Thank you Karen! I've always hoped my videos could be a place where people feel like they are in the adventure with me, even from their home 🙂
I’m going
Ashley found some incredible color! You guys have been doing some good rock-hounding. I have enjoyed the videos but, what the heck is going on with Chris? He hasn't put out a new video in like a month and I miss your bro-mance too. You guys are hilarious together. Sorry, not complaining, I'm really glad you have been able to put out videos regularly, again. I will watch and enjoy anything you put out but a Paleo/Wild Florida fossil video will always be my favorite. 😁
Ashley always finds the best stuff haha! Cris and I were actually out filming together yesterday 🙂 He's been busy with some other stuff hence the lack of videos, but we've got some coming out together very soon! ☺️
@@WILDKYLE YES!!!!
Love that I want one
beautiful pieces great picks. love your videos
Thank you for watching them Lynn 🙂
こういう鉱物が手軽に手に入るところがうらやましすぎる
My 2 month old, teething, nephew, slept long enough for me to watch this awesome video. It makes me want to camp for a weekend at Herkimer diamond mines, upstate NY. I found so much the 1st time I went. That was decades ago. I still have my finds. Nothing big but all beautiful. I love the aquamarine. And black tourmaline. ✌❤❤❤❤☺🙏
I want to go look for Herkimer diamonds so bad!
@@WILDKYLE we were going to rent our campsite with our own personal digging lot, last year. I hope we can still do it. This raccoon bug has put a end to everything enjoyable.
Take a shot (of water) every time Kyle says Beryl.
That would be far too much hydration 😂
Found this on my land can you tell me if it is aquamarine beryl
Won’t let me
Send pic
Had fun
Ashley always finds the really good stuff hahaha.
I knoooowwwww! 😭 Hahahhaa
@@WILDKYLE You know, those hexagons y'all found remind me of turtle scutes. If I could draw, I'd make y'all a turtle with beryl scutes.
Those are sooo bretty! Good job, Kyle! Stay safe :)
Thank you Regina 😊
hi kyle!i LOVE going crystal hunting and finding pretty pretty crystals
I went in October and was so proud to find my little piece of beryl. I wasn’t finding pieces like the ones you did holy crap!!
You're turning me into a rock hound. Keep up the great work!
Glad to hear that man! Rockhounding is so much fun!
