We have moved to Tennant Creek from NZ&we were interested to findout about the mines here,so we searched UA-cam and found you!!we are sooo inspired by your work,which has driven us to want to discover more!we are so grateful for your amazing videos THANK YOU!!!!
You're welcome Jason and thank you for watching. I'm glad our videos have inspired you to get out there and enjoy the great outdoors. Wishing you all the very best and happy hunting. Cheers, Liz
Patricia Schwab In this video, we were away for nearly 4 months prospecting. The problem is not how much is allowed(fair share). It's how much we can take in the car. From this area, we have driven at least 10,000 km. to other gold and gem fields along the way before we got home. Cheers, Liz
Thank you for your videos. They keep me inspired while I'm in recovery for mental and physical health illnesses. I hope to get out in my lovely country soon x
Hi Liz I'm so blown away by your video and would love to know were it is in NT as we are heading that way in February .I am so gratefull that you take the time to share all your videos with us all
+Robert Hodges Hi Rob, Probably the worst time to go in this area. November to April is high humidity, monsoonal rains and storm. May to October is the best time. Link below. Good luck and Happy Hunting. Cheers, Liz www.nt.gov.au/d/fossicking/wave-hill.cfm
+Liz Kreate Hi Liz thanks for the heads up on the seasons and the link as well hope you keep up these amazing videos had happy fossicking and make the stones keep you forever inspired
Brittany Zeman Hi Brittany, These particular ones was soaked in water with a little bit of detergent and brushed. I have a video on cleaning crystals for the more stubborn dirt. Cheers, Liz
That is very helpful for someone who is about to try your passion. We live in the Whitsundays and have found amethyst (small very weathered pieces), washed up on a beach on an island, how do we find out if there is more there. I couldn’t find how to message you. Thank you.
Hi Michelle, I've never been to the Whitsundays so it's difficult to suggest anything but if I was in your scenario, I'd probably try to look for the source inland. Creeks and rivers that feed into the ocean sometimes carries gemstones when there's heavy rain. Look for crevices in bedrocks or structures that will hold the gems. They act like breadcrumbs to follow up river into the banks. Hope this helps. Happy hunting. Cheers, Liz
I wish I could be there with you. I would probably end up screaming and jumping with joy when I find my first find. I live in Malta and the only stone we have here is calcite unfortunately so you're always finding the same stone.
I too love rose quartz Lisa. Unfortunately, I haven't found any resources regarding rose quartz locations in Australia. But one never knows what one might find in the great outdoors. Here's hoping. Cheers, Liz
Hi Kate, I live in Perth and when borders open again I hope to do some crystal and gem hunting around the country and I would love if you would be so kine to consider telling me when this spot was. I have seen you reply to a previous comment asking them to message you and for some reason i can't fine the button on your channel to do so I have only just starting looking into good spots in perth region but I don't think there are many prospesting areas in WA at all so interstate hunting seems like the best option
Hi Shaniah, My name is Liz. Not sure if you're commenting to me or to someone name Kate. This place is called Wave Hill Station in Northern Territory. It's a designated fossicking area and more info are available on the net. Just type in fossicking for gems in Northern Territory. Cheers, Liz
Hi Liz is 100% what i meant to say, omg I am so embarrased and sincerely sorry for that mistake!! I was half asleep whilst writing that comment and it shows in that ridiculous mistake of mine I am really sorry! Wow I feel silly 🤦♀️
Hi there,could you help me out,I live in New Plymouth NZ do you know if there is any where at all I could go geode hunting? My daughter son and I love crystals of all types and collected them,thanks for your great videos
Finding gems/geode requires local knowledge. I've never been to NZ and don't know of any areas at all. But if I were to go gem hunting there, the first thing I would do is to do some research. The best starting point is to contact your nearest local lapidary clubs (contact details available online), as they do have regular trips to different gem fields. Had a quick google online and also found a lot of info on gems and their locations. Good luck and wish you all the very best. Happy Hunting. Cheers, Liz
Liz Kreate wow you answered me so fast,thank you so much for taking the time to tell me so much info,I had tryed to google where to find geodes but couldn't get any good info so thought maybe you can't find them here in NZ,but I would love to search and collect any types of crystals,you know so much about them,thank you so much X
Hi there are some places in the South Island that I know of, down around Canterbury. At Mount Somers you can find agates and at the nearby Rakaia Gorge there is some Amethyst found. There a few Rock and Mineral Clubs that have great information. I go to the Otago Club, there is one in Wellington, which is a bit far for you probably but if you look up the clubs web sites they have a lot of information on where they have found gems and crystasl etc. Happy Hunting. Love your videos Liz Kreate, thanks
Ben Williams Hi Ben, Please send me a private message as due to some people not doing the right thing, I don't want to give the location here where everyone can see. Cheers, Liz
Outback Nikos Please send me a private message Nikos and I'll let you know the exact location as I don't wanna advertise these locations over the net. Cheers, Liz
Most of the time. But sometimes the temperature can get up to 45 degrees Celsius. Then you start asking yourself some serious question. :-) Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Liz
Here in Washington state, in good US pacific northwest, it's just is spring is it summer. The weather here just that. I love it. Its home. Where the Sun? As always love your video. Yack
Australian folks are the toughest people that have ever stood on the earth. Some Texans think we're the toughest breed on the planet. Not close. Just being out looking for crystals, I bet there's some animal that can kill you just by looking at it. I love the crystals. I love the people.
REBEL , you don't have to be the toughest people on Earth nor the brightest to stay alive in Australia. You just have to be tough enough to walk off the pavement and smart enough to avoid things which advertise they will kill you in no discreet terms. After seeing recently how the fine people of Texas handled hurricane Harvey devastating almost their entire State underwater, I saw how their general toughness, ingenuity, and goodwill towards their neighborhoods fared far better than most any other people after a major disaster than I have ever seen in my lifetime. I hope that response of the Texan's toughness, in your opinion 6 months ago, has changed a bit compared to now with an Australian's just to walk in the bushes and look for rocks without being bitten by something poisonous. If not, I would wonder of your standards on things like choosing a spouse, beauty in general, cute babies of strangers, family cordiality, compassion and, good sex! Lol Aussies are good, salt of the Earth people but, don't sell your Texan people short, you never know how they might surprise you someday. Plus, Texans have crocodiles, alligators, sharks, rays, and all types of poisonous reptiles and sea creatures with marsupials to boot as much as Aussies do too, just a tad difference in species. Hope all is working out in your part of the world.
+Miguel Franco Thanks for watching Miguel. We only prospect here in Australia and can't tell you anything about geode locations in the Philippines. Some research will give you some idea especially areas that are currently being actively mined. Rivers and streams can also give some indication of minerals that are present in an area. Good luck and wish you all the very best. Cheers, Liz
Your bird and the relationship you have with him makes me long for my friend he was a peach face love bird I don't know how to spell the name I gave him. It's like saying bully but it's boll-ly I know Im crazy man

I would be happy to have some crystals and geodes from the discard pile!
Right??
We are limited with how much we can take. So we have to pick the best we can find. Cheers, Liz
Liz Kreate Are you limited by laws or just space?
Patricia Schwab In this video, we were away for nearly 4 months prospecting. The problem is not how much is allowed(fair share). It's how much we can take in the car. From this area, we have driven at least 10,000 km. to other gold and gem fields along the way before we got home. Cheers, Liz
