    As a geology student and prospector, I love how genuine this show is. It really captures the reality of small scale mining operations, and manages to be exciting and entertaining without playing things up too much. Keep up the good work guys!

      Mount Antero, white mountain, Jones peak and Mt. Shavano was my geology thesis area for my M.S. degree at Oklahoma State.
      Brought back lots of memories of three months hard work. A side benefit at the end I was in great physical shape.
      Great show!! The aquamarine activity in 1968 was minor compared to what I’m seeing now.

    As a geologist and retired gold prospector, I can fully appreciate the hard work it takes to pull precious minerals from the Earth, but our work was never in such precarious locations or high altitudes. Congratulations on the exquisite finds up on Antero! Blue stones are my favorite and I wish I could come over to Buena Vista and shop! Such beauty to behold!

    Wow! Y'all are dedicated. Great videos. Having hunted on
    Mt. Antero before ('60's & '70's)... I suffered high altitude cerebral edema and had to descend to a safer altitude. If people haven't experienced high altitude issues before, they may not appreciate the amount of effort and energy required to function at that altitude level. My hat's off to y'all!!!
    Rock on!!!

    G'day.
    Got hooked on Prospectors back in the day, bummed when it was cancelled.
    So really excited to see one of the originals from that show still going strong.
    Good luck with it all guys, hope you are able to keep your family tradition going strong for generations to come.

    As a viewer who is interested in crystals, gems, and mining, I love to see what you are doing here, showing the people how you find and collect these beautiful aquamarines but I would love to see more of the cleanup. This is the really exciting part :D. I would also love to see more of the gems and how you process them and how they are turned from rough stones into pieces of jewelry.
    Keep going and dig on :D

    To avoid the issues associated with newer excavators, buy the older ones, make sure the frame, and body are in excellent condition, replace all of the vital parts, and have the engine rebuilt and upgraded so that it produces more power. You end up with an excavator that is basically brand new, that digs like one of the newer models, but doesn't have the same issues that the newer ones do. They just run and run all day long.

    I always wonder, is it not possible to camp closer to the sites? It seems like it would be easier to stay at one elevation rather than go up and down, and save a lot of time. You'd think there would be some sort of 'pod' tents that would be safe in lightning storms so that they would be shelter when something rolls in fast, too...
