What does it take for a kid like me to come up to Mt Antero and find Smokey quartz and Aquamarine?
Dude true it would be so much fun
Love this show!!💚💙🗽🇺🇸🙏😁
If you need someone to give your family pointers with the wire wrapping, id be happy to help....

Looks like, from the show in their jewelry store, a young person does the wired jewelry wrapping. She might be a relative
LOVE watching you guys find the blue!!!!
Very happy season 2 is coming out. This is a quality family show done well.
These videos are always so well done. Great job.
My new favorite show
This is as (pardon me,) *polished" a production as the old Weather Channel series, "Prospectors." Well done.
I subscribed to the channel because of how professional the editing is. They do fantastic.
@@tinydinoflock I agree
Yeah I miss that show man I wish I could do some mining with you guys no matter the cost.

Just indulging my taste buds to get back to the Crater of Diamonds yesterday and here you are with season #2. I can't wait to see more of that awesome Antero Blue. Thanks for putting these videos out.
Yes!!! How exciting!!
you do such a GREAT job with these! I love that Season 2 is even a thing!
Yay I'm so glad you're back this year. I loved watching all the episodes of season 1.
Really looking forward to more episodes best job in the whole world 👍
We have season 2, episode 2 coming soon! Stay tuned
Yay!!
That saves me from asking ... which is why I came back to this video .. to post and pose that very question.
I can't wait.
When is the next episode coming?
I love this series. I get really excited when I see ya'll dig up the blue. And seeing those shots where you just have handfuls of the stuff, that feeling must feel incredible. You all are awesome!
I haven’t seen the first season, but now that I’ve seen this episode I love it and now I’m gonna watch the rest, I think I really wanna do this sometime when I’m an adult, I just really love the geology of these thing, like the indicators of some materials and like finding a spot between two types of rock, what can I say it seems perfect. Fun and also earns you money. Can you just note some downsides, so I don’t get to excited? There’s always hard things in a job.
THIS IS AMAZING
Tracie, the first crystal you found as you were walking the mountain path, might mean good things to come. Aside from that a broach loosely wired (thin wire) in white gold would be beautiful, leaving it uncut but polished. It would make a great conversation piece, when you tell people "it's just the way I found it"
I'm just say'in.
many thanks for the upload...love to watch
That's my Cousin Daniel!
Sweet sweet video as always your wife has a great eye score a pocket awesome thank you
I am loving these videos! Makes me totally want join your diggers. I really love how you do as much with that mountain as you can. I would like to try some of the cosmetics that comes out of that MT.
Hard work good find, 👍god bless

Finally you guys are back! Missed your videos much!
I'm so excited I'm waiting for it to watch it
Amazing beautifull
I feel like this is a reality television 📺 show for me for once.
glad see ur back at it again
rocking the blus
Guys, take everybody care of your life. That mountains doesnt look so safe.🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀❤🖐👍
I think it’s awesome what you guys do I would love to dig with you guys 1 day keep up the hard work
Wow! I'm too old and broken to dig all day, but I gotta make my way down and visit your shop to get some faceting material! 👍
Is this an actually tv show or is it only on UA-cam? I'm glad I found this channel, I love the show and hope for many more.
I was watching gold mining vids here on youtube and came across this show. I never heard of Aquamarines before watching this but I like it. They are very pretty and I can see why people like em, they are gorgeous crystal gems. I like watching the process, the digging and all the work that goes into collecting/mining these valuable gems off the mountains.
I'm glad I subscribed and I am hooked. I hope you continue to make more every season.
Good luck mining guys and gals. :)
💎💎💎⛏
Great to see you back online. I love your videos and your Aqua even more.
Someday I hope I can afford to buy a piece to facet.
I'm crippled and poor and cut for a hobby (since Dec '19). If and when they start selling to offset the cost of facet rough, I'm definitely going to be in a market for some nicely colored, transparent blue aqua. I have a few small crystals from Afghanistan and a few more tiny ones from the US. They will cut clear, non-colored stones.
With semi-precious stones, sometimes it can be best to leave them raw. So I'd rather have a crystal like the one @20m, although it looked like it had a fracture rather than being flawless. Or the smokey quartz @25m because it had a nice transition and shape. If they polish up nice, it can be pretty easy to turn them into pendants, broaches etc. Often I think they're more interesting than trying to cut & facet, especially as smaller stones tend not to show the color as well. It's also an easy & cheap(ish) way to get into making jewellery, so get some round-nose pliers, snips and cheap silver plated jeweller's wire to practice on different shaped stones, then move on to silver wire & annealing that once you get better.. Just don't wrap a stone too tight, or you might find yourself with your own clicker..
But I'm weird like that. I can't stand diamonds and think they're boring stones compared to a lot of semi-precious ones. :p
