  • I got a personal invite to a world class mineral gallery in Tucson that had the "Agates from Mexico" display. These are some of the worlds best agates from the Chihuahua area of Mexico. And not only a personal invite into the gallery, also a personal invite to Mexico to go dig them for myself.

    I'm on the road driving so I missed this video live. 😢 But, safety is first. But Dan, when I just watched this, I am blown away at this rare, expensive, collection! Each agate tells its own unique story and colors! Just left me breathless to say the least! 😮😳
    When you showcased the agates which are classified as pseudomorph, those were the ones that I loved the most. The 'Star Wars' faced one looked like a real tongue coated by pink crystals! How unusual is that? It's a masterpiece! And, I agree that I've never seen banding that was completely distinguishable from the next band. Absolutely stunning.... Each and every piece!
    The agate you were gifted is an incredible addition to your collection. I actually saw what the "scene" my eyes tood my brain. Think about your OPS scenes and look at the agate again. It looks like a tree on a high hill, with the purplish-blue background being the sunset colors of the sky. See it?
    I cannot wait to see you at his agate site, digging away....! 😁 Thanks for sharing with all of us and blessings from Alabama ❤️

    Hey Dan. I've been watching your videos for about a year now and I just want to say thanks. I didn't know anything about prospecting but now a little bit wiser. I watch another channel on refining gold and I can see why it's so important to know your rocks and formations.
    From the mountains to the store's it's alot of work finding gold and refining it. But knowledge makes it a little easier. Lol lol . Still learning.
    Thanks Dan. Wish you and your family well. 👍😎🇨🇦

    I have been watching your channel for years and I enjoy that you don’t let the hunt for gold define you, tho I am happy when you find it. I love all the gemstones. For the last 3 years I haven’t even left my very long driveway and have found buckets and buckets of agates, fossils, pet wood, and pet coral. Im pretty sure the drive came from gravel pits here in south MS’sippi. I wish I knew where. The driveway was already here when we bought the property. The closest that I have found to a colored agate was a red, white, and blue agate. And several with red or blue. Black and white ones too. I do live about 3 miles from the Pearl River Swamp. The rock bars are amazing. I have also found 2 petrified seeds. Looks like peach or plum.
