      The Caldwells and Justin Morrison were all on the Weather Channel Prospectors show.. Where Rockhounding and gem mining blew up about 5-6 years ago.. pretty sure they decided to do their own thing and have their own camera crew instead of the drama of MSM.. but yeah I wish there were definitely more than one episode a month!

      Totally agree!!! He genuinely cares for their safety and wellbeing as well as their livelihood. I love how they take turns choosing for their cut of the pickins. Everyone needs to make a living and he makes sure that his team gets what they deserve. Y'all keep up the amazing work, stay safe, and I can't wait to see the next video!!!!

      That would be great but it only works if you can trust the people. Some would picked half those gems and not say anything. Which is very dirty because he’s letting them use his claim he’s paid crazy money to own. There’s som serious trust and screening in this process. The average “no moral” person off the street has no business here. Unfortunately that’s a big risk to take. So an hourly wage is needed to keep the playing field even with risk. those gems may seem abundant but the wrong person will see that as “ ill pocket this one it won’t hurt no one”

    People say youtube is better than TV a lot, but I mean it genuinely, the production value is so high here for such a small team. You've got all the greatness of a show you'd see on Discovery, but with all the dramatic (unneeded imo) chaff cut out. Each episode is short, yet packed full of content from start to end, the editing is so on point, I'm definitely learning from y'all. You've nailed the genuine personality that internet content achieves while also using the best qualities of reality shows, and I really cannot believe that y'all only have 53k subscribers, I genuinely hope this channel blows up soon, because more people need to see this!

He was such a sweetheart...took lots of time to talk with us about mining and living up there, answered all of our questions, and showed us some of his beautiful finds. It was one of those moments that, as a parent, I'm so glad my son gets to experience the kindness of strangers. What a treat!
