      @@lordeagle100 10-15k that he names in the vid is kind of bs, no one ever sells herks this quality for that much, hell the "window of opportunity" herk is now for sale at 15k and doesn't have any buyers, and its much nicer than these. The only herks that go for huge money are the old stock waterclears and the best of the best of these new skeletals from mowhawk area 52 and a few other small places.

      Those are some incredible stones, how much did you guys pay for the week there including the excavator?
      How many of those stones did they let you keep if you were invited free for advertising the place?

      @@TheCrystalCollector Right!? It’s really wild seeing all the different types of Herks that come from the different regions from your classic Ace/Middleville water clear flawless floaters to the little falls area black stem scepters, to Fonda footballs and DDD to now these incredible Area 52 finds. They all are so unique and special in their own ways.
      I used to think some of the best mining was done decades ago. But after the last few seasons I’m blown away by what’s still to be discovered! I’ll see you out there, I got to dig alongside you a few days at Chads last year.

    Should be retitled “Bryan and Shane Play in the Mud.” After my original comment when watching the Live dig - “Go Long, Bryan!” - all the other giant Herks looked like “Aww…isn’t that one cute!” even though they were still really big and beautiful! Before this series of digs, a “huge” Herk to me was about an inch and a half.

    Most of the time, I don't even think about the money, but with so many tens of thousands of dollars pulled out of the ground, I'm very curious about it. Does Area 51 guy own the land, and is letting you come make these fantastic pulls just out of generosity? Do you dig them out, and then buy them for a bit less than you'll eventually sell them for? Is it all just for the fun and the footage, and you have to give everything up at the end?
