Good for you, Dan, going up that high-altitude despite health issues. Yes, slow and easy is the trick! Awesome scenery and beautiful gems!! Thanks again for sharing your adventure! ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️
Sweet claim! Location Location Location! Colorado still is my home and love the thin air ! It keeps the tourists away from the best places to find your dreams in color!
I absolutely loved watching the prospectors show. It was so well done. Brian and his family seemed like such great people. I always felt for them anytime they had to stop, like when a storm rolled in. This would have been such a fun day. I was glad to see Dana there experiencing it with you.
WE LOVE BRIAN! He has been one of the most influential people in our lives this far. He's been amazing in our journey hunting for crystals and has given such support as we decided to start our business. We are SO happy you two finally got together! Great content, as always, Dan!
Hey Dan, tell Brian to get a cardiac work up if he hasn't already. Stupid but if it saves his life! Myself and 4 colleagues have caught on with hubby's in time they're all still with us! Love you're work!
I know Brian personally, he lives in my home town. I’ve gone over to his shop a few times and made jewelry with him. He’s such and amazing and genuine person! Not to mention he’s VERY knowledgeable
Dan thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures we get to see places and people that just aren't possible any other way its very appreciated .thanks Chris the porch miner
Thank you Brian, we enjoyed the video today. Is the announcement that you have been picked up for another Prospectors show! We loved it too. Thank you for bringing us along Dan and Dana!
Drink water at that altitude!! Lots! I live in Colorado, and would love to bring my granddaughter up to go through tailings!! My hubby, my son and I would move rubble for the ability to let our youngest rock hound go through the rubble!
Good to see you in our neighbor hood, glad the thin air didn't hurt too much. I also used to watch their show quite a bit and also miss it.. I enjoy watching your show also, there is so much gorgeous country to see in Canada and you sure ger around up there. Keep up the good work!
As I remember, air pressure at 14,000 feet is about half the sea level pressure. Some of those pieces shown in the video have the best color to be seen in aqua. When I was in Rio de Janeiro years ago I was privileged to see a cut stone of about 35 carets from the Marta Rocha crystal,. an astonishing deep sea blue found around 1953. (It was in a private collection, a true museum piece.)
I thought this video was awesome, and then, towards the end, it got extremely awesome!! Damn 💎Dan, those were some extraordinary aquas that Brian let you show! Wow! Thanks for sharing this one partner!
I love this collaboration! I got to meet the Busse family at a gem and mineral show in Tucson about 10 years ago. I purchased some druzy rocks from them and got a picture with them and my late fiance. It's one of my favorite memories ❤❤❤
20years ago drove to the top to see the clouds, wnen we got to the top there was a trackhoe working in a pit just off the top. They were busy and didn’t have time to talk, but heard there are some great mines up there
Aquamarine is my birthstone, and I was born in Colorado. It would be wonderful to someday get a pair of earrings and a aquamarine pendant of Colorado Aquamarine. I would love to see the mines, but I don't think I would be able to handle the climb. Thank you, Dan, I enjoy your videos.
Brian Busse, He's really cool. If you ever get to meet the Cardwell Family. They own the claims at the very top of that mountain all the way from approx 13,800ft elevation to the top. They also have their own shop in Colorado called Mount Antero Treasures and even their youtube channel called Mount Antero Treasures is very worth checking it out.
Hallo from Sweden! I love your channel. Tell Brian that I miss all of them. I watched every show of the prospectors untill they stoped here in Sweden. Love you all. Stay safe out there . Love Marie
Thx Dan! Great video! Brian Busse is a legend up here. Hes been mining that mountain for 30+ years! Always awesome adventures on Mt. Antero at 12000ft!
I used to watch Prospectors all the time. I just found the show by accident one evening and from then on I watched it every week while it was on. Some of the prospectors did real well and some not that great but it was interesting to watch. Glad you found some stones you liked Dan but even just looking like you said is fun.
😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻 Thank you so very much for sharing your bucket list experience with us. My birthstone is aquamarine. And from the time I was 18. And went panning for gold in the mountains of Tennessee. At a mine that also had gem stone pockets found in it.
One of your best videos, Dan. I lived in Buena Vista for a few years. I used sit in the control room and look at Antero all day. Thanks for bringing it back to me.
Dan, I'm glad you finally made your way to Colorado! I would have loved to have an opportunity to meet you, but seeing you on Mt. Antero is still pretty awesome. Thank you for another great video.
This is too funny! I was just mentioning to a friend yesterday that I missed the TV show where they used to prospect and mine Aquamarine and Blue Barrel. Loved that show.. Thanks Dan for bringing memories back and so happy you checked it off your bucket list!💜
If Brian's not the modern day reincarnation of Yosemite Sam, he should be. What in tarnation??? Great video. Remember the Weather Station videos as well. Still makes me antsy seeing thunderstorms rolling in with nowhere to go!!!😱😱
Dan, Brian has an official Prospectors Beard, which helps enable him to locate those awesome aquamarines with those fabulous flawless colors, some people just don't know how they work! Lol! 💙⛏️⚒️👍🏔️🤠
Beautiful! Both the gems and the landscape! I'd be wandering around the ridges looking at plants. AND rocks. ;-) (Also cringing a bit while watching you pry boulder/slabs, as a forester, with the lack of hard hats and steel toes. 😂)
Prospectors was my favorite Weather Channel show with great characters, gorgeous scenery and beautiful gems! I was sad to see it go.
Happy to see "Thank you Lord!" Mine again! Miss that show and all who were on it.
Something better in the works
@@BrianBusseAmericanGemtracker I loved that show! It sparked my interest in gems as well thank you!
I love watching that show too, I miss it being on TV.
Thanks
I'm glad that Dana was there to keep Dan safe!
She knows "prospectors can get carried away".
I like when Dan stopped caring about the viewers and let other people there talk as he's like "This is going to be good! I'm going to get it!!!"
Dan doesn't realize he is the new Prospectors show!!!
I was wondering when someone(UA-cam Creators), was going to try this!!! Nice Dan!!! Nice, go get ‘em, BuB!!! Good Luck, Happy Hunting!
Loved Prospectors and missed the Busse family. Great to see Brian on the mountain again. Bring the show back, please!
❤❤❤
Thank Mr Busse for bringing us up to his famous Mt Antero mine again! Fantastic views! Awesome video Dan!
Glorious Aquas!! 💎⛏️🤠💎⛏️🤠
Good for you, Dan, going up that high-altitude despite health issues. Yes, slow and easy is the trick! Awesome scenery and beautiful gems!! Thanks again for sharing your adventure! ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️
Dan, I love your videos. Take care of yourself and keep on keepin on
My dad was a gold miner in Alaska. After watching prospectors I got the fever again. Then I found Dan Hurd. Now all I want is gems.
Good to see Brian on here and looking Healthy!! I met him back in 2014 and got to spend the day on the TYL Claim, super cool dude!
Sweet claim! Location Location Location! Colorado still is my home and love the thin air ! It keeps the tourists away from the best places to find your dreams in color!
You are a rockstar of rocks, I have nothing to do with rocks, but you always get me excited and interested in doing some fun stuff like you, Thanks
Welcome to Colorado Dan!!! My home state! So glad you could visit, so many minerals in Colorado!
I absolutely loved watching the prospectors show. It was so well done. Brian and his family seemed like such great people. I always felt for them anytime they had to stop, like when a storm rolled in.

I'm glad to see Brian is still digging! I really liked the show Prospectors and the prospectors they showcased! Thanks!
So good to see Brian again, I hope him and the family are doing well.
I know jack all about mining, prospecting or panning for gold, but your energy is so damn infectious, I keep watching!
I remember the Busse Family and I loved Dwayne Hall! 🥰That was a fantastic show! I'll be looking up Bryan Busse on all the social medias!!! ☺️💙💙💙💙💙💙🥰
Prospectors was a great show so they take it off
Nice to see an old familiar face. I really miss that show - it was great!
I like rocks, and i like learning. This is the perfect channel 🎉
Thank you Brian, we enjoyed the video today. Is the announcement that you have been picked up for another Prospectors show! We loved it too. Thank you for bringing us along Dan and Dana!
I am working on a independent film

Drink water at that altitude!! Lots! I live in Colorado, and would love to bring my granddaughter up to go through tailings!! My hubby, my son and I would move rubble for the ability to let our youngest rock hound go through the rubble!
I'm glad to see Brian looking good and walking up a mountain 🙂
My Birfstone! Good luck on finding the biggest, shiniest beauties!!! ☺️
Good to see you in our neighbor hood, glad the thin air didn't hurt too much. I also used to watch their show quite a bit and also miss it.. I enjoy watching your show also, there is so much gorgeous country to see in Canada and you sure ger around up there. Keep up the good work!

I'll bet a thunderstorm up there is FEROCIOUS.
I thought this video was awesome, and then, towards the end, it got extremely awesome!! Damn 💎Dan, those were some extraordinary aquas that Brian let you show! Wow!
Thanks for sharing this one partner!
Ive watched Prospectors, great show. Happy to see Brian still Hunting for aquas. I hope all of his family is doing good. Thanks Dan for this episode
I've watched both your channel and the Mpunt Antero stuff, too! This is the cross--over episode I never knew I needed!
I love this collaboration! I got to meet the Busse family at a gem and mineral show in Tucson about 10 years ago. I purchased some druzy rocks from them and got a picture with them and my late fiance. It's one of my favorite memories ❤❤❤
Imagine what a wild land firefighter feels when hiking up a smoky mountain, glad to see you can still do it Dan
Awesome....... I bought some crystal aqua from Brian and his family at the Denver gem and mineral show a few years back.
ya know dan is no slouch... he puts in the work to do what he does... that alone is worth the watch
Welcome to my neck of the woods Dan. So many good rock hunting sites in my lovely state of Colorado.
i loved him and his family on that show.great people..
I went up Mount Antero and got to meet Amanda and the Bussies. Dan had a blast I'm sure!!
It is an absolute thrill being on Mt Antero. I haven't seen a climb or dig in a long time. I would be so sick at that elevation...wow !
Nice to see Brian Busse again.
Thanks 👍 for sharing this with us. 👍

What a surprise.. loved Prospectors....
Hope you enjoyed your trip to my home state of Colorado. I've seen Mt. Antero from a distance, driving down by the Arkansas River.
I really appreciate you Dan, From your Neighbor in Washington State.
the tiny crytal you found at the star is the same size as my tiniest paper airplane ever
Beautiful crystals...the aqua blue color is stunning!!
Brian Busse, He's really cool. If you ever get to meet the Cardwell Family. They own the claims at the very top of that mountain all the way from approx 13,800ft elevation to the top.

I live not far from here and also watched Prospectors. Remember the family Busse.
Dan, I’ve enjoyed watching your channel for a couple years and absolutely love your energy and personality, thank you!
I remember watching this show it was like the first show to make me interested in gems and rocks

Thank you so very much for sharing your bucket list experience with us.
My birthstone is aquamarine. And from the time I was 18. And went panning for gold in the mountains of Tennessee. At a mine that also had gem stone pockets found in it.
Oh wow, I knew I recognized Brian's voice! I love that show.
One of your best videos, Dan. I lived in Buena Vista for a few years. I used sit in the control room and look at Antero all day. Thanks for bringing it back to me.
Miss those shows

If Brian's not the modern day reincarnation of Yosemite Sam, he should be. What in tarnation??? Great video. Remember the Weather Station videos as well. Still makes me antsy seeing thunderstorms rolling in with nowhere to go!!!😱😱
10:38 - They mined tons of that material in the 1950's for weapons applications. It's beryllium ore.
Dan, Brian has an official Prospectors Beard, which helps enable him to locate those awesome aquamarines with those fabulous flawless colors, some people just don't know how they work! Lol! 💙⛏️⚒️👍🏔️🤠
