I’m new to rock hounding and I find your videos very helpful and informative! You had a great 2024! Hoping we all have a good 2025!! Thanks for sharing and it is great that you do the give aways.
Super finds, Aidan!!! I couldn't choose a favorite, as they are all awesome. That clam and the pyroxene plate stood out for me. Happy New year and all the best in 2025!!
Happy New Year Aiden! It looks like you had another great year exploring, finding gems and enjoying time with people sharing similar interests. Thanks for the video!
Well done Aidan, looks like it was a great year, really great specimens. Hard to pick a favorite, but I love that big cluster of Smokey Quartz and the fossil clam with calcite is amazing! Happy New Year to you and I hope this year is just as successful! Keep up the great work
wonderful collecting season! I like Florida calcite, very difficult to choose among these different crystals, all beautiful. thank you for the chance to win this prize! happy new year 2025 for the finds
@ lol, somehow that comment went to the wrong video, I started typing when I was watching your new video, it must’ve gone to a different one before I hit send
Nice pyrites from the limestone quarry. Disappointed I missed that trip! And make sure to shout out your collecting buddy d Joyce minerals when you can!
Yeah shame you couldn't make it out on the. Haha will definitely do. I should be releasing a video on the graphite spot you took me to hopefully in the next month so you'll definitely get one there.
Great looking stuff as always, but especially the titanite! Also your ability to identify all these specimens is incredible, and I try to learn as much as I can when watching your videos. Happy new year!
Thanks, I wouldn't say I am the best at it, but I do try to put in some work to research sites and when I find stuff I don't recognize I do the couple test I can to get more info and the reach out to more knowledgeable acquaintances.
As a fellow rockhound, I always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for posting them. My favorites are the terminated crystals. I always find those fascinating, regardless of the actual mineral.
Hello, I am a fellow rockhounder, mineral enthusiast and geology student from Quebec. I love your fluorites! I tried the Schikler’s occurence (I probably butchered its name) last summer, I found mediocre specimens at best. I would love to see a video on that spot. Good content, keep it up.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. I do have a couple videos on the location, I would say I didn't have the greatest luck there either. My 1st video I ever posted is a trip to Schicklers. Then last year I also posted another video on it. I would say my 1st trip was better, ppl have really done a number on the site.

Some great specimens there. Can I ask where in Norland the Amazonite is found? Fine, of course, if you can't tell me. I live very close to there is why I'm asking. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thanks Kathi, i can tell you about this spot in the future, currently me and a couple friends are doing some work there collecting some interesting stuff.

I love the finds. I collect minerals, but am not (yet?) a rockhound. I've been watching your videos for a while, but haven't previously subscribed.
