Oh my!!!! Great find! We're coming in area March 29 - April 2. My husband is alot like you but with fossils of the east coast! I always say to folks that he is Indiana Jones, as they see our bone and fossil collection in our home! Keith's aunt is a geological teacher for Arizona state, he has an eye, but like you, an indearing personality! We would love to collect with you for our experience
This is one of those types of things that I've always wanted to do, but never have. Only $35 per person for the day though?? I need to do this. I've never lived yet, I think it's time to start!
@@Daruma_Studio yes, I did! It was lots of fun 😃 Except the drive there... I didn't know it was an unmaintained dirt path so we took my girlfriend's economy car and it was really tough 😅
@@Daruma_Studio yeah. He did mention it once, but the video is like 20 minutes long or something. So I had forgotten he said that at the beginning of the video 😂 We did make it to the mine and back, thanks to my quick reaction times, but we could've easily been stranded. No cell service on the way there either! And a rock severed our AC belt so it was a hot drive back lol
Always love your videos ❤ thanks fir these, and recognizing other rock hounds. ❤great teamwork and looks like a blast. Yur love for ppl/ and rocks shows true, never stop Brian!😊
Great job Bryan Major! Cool to see you literally “ in the trenches.” Looks really fun and you didn’t have to play Chutes and Ladders like the Vanadinite there! 🧡
considering how small wulfenite usually is, this is not just rare but EXCEPTIONALLY rare! this is comparable to places with small, granular olivine like Hawaii, which is nice but small, and places with large, cut-quality peridot like pakistan, which is not only larger but free of inclusions (most of them). this is cool!
You guys are so lucky to being able to dig up these nice sized crystals. Here in Germany, most minerals are just microscopic in size. There are some exceptions of course, but afaik most of the cool stuff is pretty small.
depend where your dig, you need metamorphic rock a place where there was volcanism/magma closeby or hotspring. the usa have advantage, 1/ no previous dig in the past millenium, its a virgin continent for this kind of exploration 2/ its low populated 3/ they are in high altitude states like utah arizona (2000+meters) without vegetation, its desertic, so its easier to read geology and find the spot, and nobody will forbidde them ground access if they have license. so for find crystal in germany, you need to aim old volcanoes, old hot spring, ignous/metamorphic rick, south west of germany by example...in france we have free geologic map we can download provided by govt, maybe in germany its the same, you just need to know which rock aim for find one type of crystal... in my region(north of france) its essentially quaternar clay/limestone, coal deep, so nothing to find in ground except fossile or calcite crystal.
@@eriklerougeuh5772 yes there is nice stuff to be found here in some places, but it's not easy to get access to these places, because they usually are deep underground, and to get access to these old mining operations that went out of business a long time ago, you have to get in contact with the local mining clubs or whoever else is allowed to enter these locations nowadays. Everything else that is open to the public and can be accessed by paying a small amount of money to obtain a license to dig around, is usually above ground, these are pretty much old mining dumps, and what you can find there is usually very small specimens. It seems not that easy to find good sized specimens here in today's time, at least to my knowledge.
I love your channel! Great content. Always learning. I have 2 suggestions. Could you please wash your gem finds and show them whenever possible. Also, if you could add a suggested valve to your crystals; I think your viewers would love that. I know I would. Thanks again. Keep on digging!
Yes, those are great suggestions, on most videos I always show them washed up almost immediately after they find, this one they don’t look much different, but I understand where you’re coming from. But check out my other videos they show that usually every time. Sometimes I talk about value, but maybe not enough, I don’t want people thinking it’s all about the money, but it’s still fun to talk about what they’re worth, thank you for the suggestion I will try to do more of that in future videos 🙌💎
I hope that Matrix has his rattlesnake bit vaccine. The vaccine lessened the effects of a bite my dachshund got. We still had to rush her to the vet but she recovered and they said had it not been for the vaccines she would not have made it.
Great video Rob, being new to this hobby I've definitely made a couple of mistakes, yet I'm seeing some progress on some of my rocks and some disappointment on others but no problem I'll get it. Can't wait a couple of months and me and the wife will be in Houghton, Hancock, to see the museum at Michigan Tech!
Yes, I post most of my events on my Facebook page, but I do have a membership form here on UA-cam that I just started and will be announcing meet up there for personal meet up groupings
How old would you say the Wolfenite are? Regardless of age, they've been sitting there millions of years possibly waiting to be found. That's exciting. Great video
The side walls are extremely tough and durable. They are digging soft material in a vein. When you're inside the cut it doesn't look or feel dangerous. It does look that way though
It is owned by The Red Cloud mining company. You can find them online and setup a dig with them but the season is short. I think it ends in March or April then starts back up in September or October. It's a long drive through a wash to get there so have good clearance and don't stop on the way.
Urine-marking is a territorial behavior. Matrix feels the need to assert his dominance or ease his anxiety by laying out his boundaries. He does this by depositing small amounts of urine on anything he feels belongs to him-the furniture, the walls, your socks, you or even Elly’s bag!
Yeah, he is really like a watchdog too, always making sure nothing comes up on me. He hasn’t been fixed, I’ve heard that would help but I’m not sure what to do . He is 5
Those were some awesome wulfenite crystal clusters. So orange and perfect blades. Just gorgeous. What a day@
Wow amazing beautiful natural art crystal mind blowing super excited video
Yay!! Arizona!!👋🏜️🌵🌞👋 Beautiful colors!!
Finding summer sunsets inside the mountain! Amazing finds 🤩

Hahaha Matrix is talking again hahaha. He’s awesome! Love the Crystal adventures you guys have.
Awe little Matrix thought he was marking his lunch bag 😂 always love your adventures Bryan! Give little Matrix my love 🙏♥️
💎🙌💎🙌
Wow, some awesome specimens without going underground. Nice.
This place has so much to offer! I still think you have the best job in the world lol!
Check out this crazy shovel! *proceeds to show regular shovel 🤣 haha loved this dig!
Absolutely gorgeous specimens. WOWZA
Orange is my favorite color.... that's mind blowing...
I’d like to have heard more about this particular type. I’ve never heard of it before. I always love how u give info on everything u show in videos 👌👌
Thanks so much for watching! I’m hoping to go back to this site in a few months and make a even better video, 🙌💎💎💎
That Wulfenite is unreal
Wow very beautiful sharing 👍
"Adz" is the "crazy shovel" and it's also number 48 on my top 100 all-around zombie apocalypse weapon-tools...
They're awesome coloured crystals amongst the grey rock. Amazing finds there.
The beauty of the terrain in addition to the excitement of finding the crystals always makes my day! I wish I could join you. Hopefully one day.
Wow you found some amazing pieces in that pocket! Thanks for another great video!
Increíble amigos. Enhorabuena!!!!
Beautiful Crystal and country.
Wulfenite has a gorgeous natural Fanta orange color and it was designated as Arizona's official state mineral in 2017 :)
Those are some incredible wulfenites! Way to go!
This is one of those types of things that I've always wanted to do, but never have. Only $35 per person for the day though?? I need to do this. I've never lived yet, I think it's time to start!
Its been a year later, I hope you've gone by now!
@@Daruma_Studio yes, I did! It was lots of fun 😃 Except the drive there... I didn't know it was an unmaintained dirt path so we took my girlfriend's economy car and it was really tough 😅
@@trumpatier Oh! Thats important information. I do with Brian would talk a little bit about getting out to these locations in his videos more.
@@Daruma_Studio yeah. He did mention it once, but the video is like 20 minutes long or something. So I had forgotten he said that at the beginning of the video 😂

OMG!!!! This was the best!!!! 😻😻😻 thank you Dude!!!
Such fun times!!
Can’t wait for our next adventure !
Matrix licks rocks too! What a day!
Stunning looking crystals Bryan, congrats . Keep Safe
Wow! Beautiful! Thank you for posting ✌🏼✌🏼
That was rad, what an incredible pocket.
wulfenite is my favorite mineral !! reminds me of caramel candy
My very fav! Wulfenite has such amazing color
Wonderful video! Amazing pieces!! Congrats!!
stunning color!
The colors of these crystals are impressive.
Always love your videos ❤ thanks fir these, and recognizing other rock hounds. ❤great teamwork and looks like a blast. Yur love for ppl/ and rocks shows true, never stop Brian!😊
Just subbed to her, love how excited she got! Y'all make a great team. Awesome finds!
Great job Bryan Major! Cool to see you literally “ in the trenches.” Looks really fun and you didn’t have to play Chutes and Ladders like the Vanadinite there! 🧡

Wow! What amazing finds!
Just beautiful cryatals
She was more hyped than you with that first find I didnt know that was possible😅. Im just pulling your strings. Love the video as always
The color is so incredible! Congrats
Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
The real Wulfenite specimens are way underground. Good job you two. Elly is hot and Matrix is bad!😂

Love. Singular large wolfenite crystals
WHOO HOOO FROM CALIFORNIA JOHNNY AND CANDY WHAT !!!!!❤
Awesomeness indeed!
Wow nice place❤
Anytime your'e in Maryland I gotta make it out to one of your digs. Be cool to see what MD has to offer!
Elly is the gem you need to collect, buddy.
She sounded like she was having a big O when she found the one he missed.
😮 so sad you were here and I missed you 😢 💔 😔 .. but really beautiful stuff 😍
I would definitely ere on the side of caution with a respirator or particle filter type face mask if digging wolfenite. Happy adventuring, though!
The red of this mineral is just crazy
Very nice!👌👏
Awesome thanks 😊
Great video Rob, being new to this hobby I've definitely made a couple of mistakes, yet I'm seeing some progress on some of my rocks and some disappointment on others but no problem I'll get it.

It’s absolutely stunning reminds me of crocoite
It looks so spectacular
Awesome. I've collected at Rowley 30 years ago. Too bad they're so fragile.
Do you allow others to come and mine with you? Or some designated areas? If so do people get to keep what the dig up?
Yes, I post most of my events on my Facebook page, but I do have a membership form here on UA-cam that I just started and will be announcing meet up there for personal meet up groupings
How old would you say the Wolfenite are?
Regardless of age, they've been sitting there millions of years possibly waiting to be found.
That's exciting.
Great video
Wonderful
Beautiful finds ❤ but make me nervous watching because could the walls cave in on you?
The side walls are extremely tough and durable. They are digging soft material in a vein. When you're inside the cut it doesn't look or feel dangerous. It does look that way though
👌wow superb
I think Matrix was jealous of Elly. 😂
super nice 👍👍
Que preciosas están 😍❤❤❤
Matrix surly has evolved. 😆
You guys killed it!
Love that fire
So are you able to just go out and dig up crystals? Or do you need a license of some sort?
Parabéns gosto muito de vocês um abraço meu Luciano com essa grande aqui de Morro da Fumaça Santa Catarina
Is that expensive or just cents😊
You guys have great partnership energy. Wulfenite is so gorgeous. Is Matrix okay?
Is this a private site? I will be going to Arizona soon and I wanna go here

@@SpiritualNerdGems okay thank you
Já estávamos com saudades
Looks like most mines, wanting equipment to remove the blocking material to make it available.
how fresh
4:34 the forbidden earth nugget
Give Matrix a treat from us
How old is Matrix?
Is it worth anything and where are you
The cristal hunting and Tintin dog
How would like to call orange color crystal????
Y love! ❤
👏🏻😍👏🏻
OMG I WOULD LOVE TO DIG
Come on out with us one day, I do public events all over the USA
❤❤❤❤
Wowee!!
Let's get it done ✅ Matrix said
Matrix is guarding the Wulfinite
This is the yelow Gold bro.
