I sure appreciate this comment but, no way I could’ve done it alone. These guys work so hard for every ton of sand that hits the ground! Thank y’all so much for watching!!!
@@TheRealMrDiGG fella I’m 51 years old and have worked for some great leaders. I am a welder by trade but also am a heavy equipment operator. I would come work for you no question asked if I was in your area. Someone who likes to think outside the box, appreciate your input and encourages growth. Your business looks like a playground to me, somewhere good people can thrive!!! Man keep doing what you are doing and the sky is the limit. Also I enjoy your content. Top 3 I look forward to every day is yours, DP, and litsdig18. Your channel should explode, just keep being you and it will happen.
He had an employee make a mistake that could have damaged equipment big time. Never got mad at him, they fixed the mistake and told him it happens, no big deal.
Wanna see the maintenance shop. Must be impressive to keep everything operational! Monthly electric and fuel bills......don't even wanna think about them! Phew! Thanks, Chris! 👏👍
I worked in a sand and gravel operation for a short time.We had a dragline pulling material out of the water,and stockpile.Drove a 6 wheeler.Wonderful machine!! Just put in all wheel drive,and go !!!
Mr Digg is the sum of many parts........He's part great guy, part businessman, part scientist, part eco warrior and above all, the part he is playing in providing the service for the local community via employment and resources. A truly marvelous set of videos from Chris and Mike. I would love a follow up chat about how, when and why it all started. I would love to know how many staff he employ's. It may be rude to ask, but I would love a rough estimate of the total yearly cost of such an amazing operation. Brilliant stuff.
Wowza. Every time I think that you & Mike have shown Ryan's full production, you show another aspect. That's an amazing business and enterprise there. Congrats Mr. Digg. Well done all the way around. Thank you Chris & Mike for introducing him to us all. And thanks Chris for sharing this episode.
Love seeing operations like his... A lot of water volume, too, for that's about a medium-sized tank trailer a minute. That's a lot of material per hour compared to the old days, eh? Thanks for sharing.
What a fantastic explanation of where we get our sand from. An enormous undertaking. Thanks so much for taking us on this journey . Greetings from Australia
I’m on a river dredging project right now on night shift with a D5 pushing to the dredge. We’re widening a river. We’re contracted to move about 800,00 cubic yards
I have a sand pit in FL and I hit kaolin at 18’. It’s crazy how the layers run. The biggest buyer of kaolin is Kodak film. The sheen on gloss paper is kaolin.
I have an idea for your friend to separate the clay balls from the rocks. Have him look at how the Northern Minnesota Iron Orr mining plants do it with their product.
@@dump_truckvlogHis dad started it with the landfill. Go to A Few points from perfect podcast on here and they talk to MR digg more about how it all got started and progress .
I used to work midnight to 0800 on a 14x12 hydraulic cutter head dredge on the intercoastal waterway. We typically could do 3000 cu yards in 24 hours, depending on material and distance. We often had over a mile and a half discharge line. Used draglines to build the disposal areas (dikes around settling ponds). Very similar to what you saw, but add tidal currents continually working to rip all the pipe apart. It was a privilege to work with them, and I learned a lifetime in those years. So much to break and fix and understand! Brutally hard and cold and hot work, some of the best memories of my younger life. Done correctly, amazingly efficient. Done poorly, gigantic dangerous money pit. Nothing in between.
Really interesting to see how this is done in other parts of the country. Out west, where I live, "our" plant like this is in a gravel bed from an old river...sand, aggregate, all come from the plant to be used for gravel roads, concrete, etc. They even recover a wee bit of gold from the operation.
Been watching for many years. The video where you’re cussing out a long reach excavator with the wrong pattern (waaaaayyyyyy back) and this one are in my top five favorites. This dude is awesome and I’m going to follow his channel for sure.
Looked like you were in your element there. What a fabulous sight/site. I could watch this all day and not get bored. Thank you for allowing us to see something so magnificent.
Knew a local family harvesting sand here, they had lung problems curious to know that aspect of his operation. Looks like he had the dust under control.
You have asked a lot of excellent questions and made good observations along the way Chris. One question I have is how often do they need to change that pump impeller?Appreciate your taking the time to do these videos, enjoyed them. Excellent recycle system they have in operation, fun watching.
Hi Chris yet another fantastic video at Mr Digg's reclamation establishment, after watching this video today I'm absolutely blown away by this massive operation Mr Digg has got a handle on many aspects of reclamation and recycling and thinking of how to recover more with the reclaimed river rock, thank's Chris for another fantastic video.
Another fascinating video into what most people will never see in their lives. Presumably the start up of the machinery each working day must be sequential? A to B to C and so on.The host man is very impressive - concise with his words, very knowledgeable, and extremely polite. Simple and easy to undertand American English without emphasis and devoid of repetative sentences. One of the better quality documentary videos that tehnically minded people will enjoy watching. Well done.
I watched Dirt Perfects video first. I have to say his was cool, but yours was amazing. Entertaining Video Vs. Documentary...lol. This operation is simply mind blowing! Now I'm subscribed to another Channel. @Therealmrdigg is a genius! You can tell his entire team takes pride in what they do, and produces High Quality product. This is what makes America so great.
Screen on shaker deck has some holes and needs maintenance. Good to see use of electric motors to lower costs to operate fixed position equip. This operator uses his land well. How many acres in aggregate?
Amazing stuff Chris, thanks for bringing it to us. There is SO much more involved in pouring your backyard patio or anything else than anyone outside the industry could ever imagine. I wonder how many times per year Mr.Digg has to decline the chinese offers to buy his operations....AMERICA FIRST!
Chris thank you for a really interesting and informative series on land fill, recovery and reuse! You truly found the right person to learn from! Again thank you both for sharing this!! what an amazing stack of videos !!
I find these types of videos extremely interesting. Thanks to the owner who gave clear definitions of all the processes he operates. Not very many people have access to see these actual processes running.
Really curious about masonry sand, is it simply smaller particulate of the same material that is cement sand ? He mentioned mortar also as part of the operation ? Interesting video, and good camera footage!
That is a very impressive operation he has going on. Thank you and Mike for the awesome videos of his operation. I am subscribed to his channel and will be watching lots more of his videos. Thank yall so much and enjoy the rest of your vacation.
This whole series with this man’s various companies has been incredibly enlightening and fun to learn! Great series as always, but a really cool in depth variation from the normal goodness. Thanks, Chris!
It to bad that each state doesn't have an operation like this one. We should have an operation some what like this for house whole trash it would be less land being wasted on landfills
Man glad you got to come down and see what all Ryan has his hands in. An outstanding guy that is super resourceful. We use his concrete sand on our golf course for sanding fairways to help keep them firm. He is always willing to help us out any way he can.
@@TheRealMrDiGG hey man glad to see your doing well and really catching traction on your channel. Couldn’t be happening to a better guy!! Keep up the great content.
Very diverse operation that old boy has. These past few videos have been very interesting to me. @TheRealMrDigg certainly has a good handle on his operation and reuses as much as he can. Good stuff.
What an Amazing place, He could just about start another business by selling tours through the plant, I am sure many many people would pay good money to go and see all that you have showern us, such amazing process. So many different sides to it to from garbage to wood chips and sand, thankyou all for taking the time to show us this Amazing setup,
Ever since Chris and Dirt Perfect first introduced us to Mr. Digg I have been watching his videos. It is mind boggling everything this man does. Very educational.
This has been an amazing series to watch Chris. Thank you, for sharing this all with us and spending the time to put it all together. It is greatly appreciated :). Mr Digg certainly has a great operation there. He has put a lot of thought into it and it shows. It also shows he has invested an awful lot of money into that operation. None of that equipment looked cheap and then there is ongoing maintenance and running costs. While it is true one could "skip" maintenance it is not wise as it will bite you later on. Mr Digg does not look like the sort of man who mistreats equipment but instead keeps it in top notch working order ( Nor tolerates those who mistreat equipment ). Was thinking in that regard he appears to be very much the same as you Chris :)
This guy has thought of everything!!! Really knows his business and what it takes to get everything nickle out!! Appreciate the video!!
@costaht that what makes it even sweeter
I sure appreciate this comment but, no way I could’ve done it alone. These guys work so hard for every ton of sand that hits the ground! Thank y’all so much for watching!!!
@@TheRealMrDiGG Thank you
Go to his channel and just watch how appreciative he is of his employees. This man knows who is important in his operation. A true leader!!!

This was one of the most complete operations of this type I've seen is there anything He didn't think of thanks for taking us here Chris
Sure appreciate you watching!
I find this video totally fascinating! Many thanks for posting this!
That was a good series. Very informative
Thanks Chris and Mr. Digg for the tour. Very interesting. God Bless.
Mr dig sure has it all under control when it comes to the dirt business great video thanks Chris

This guy is awesome. What a cool operation. Thanks for giving us a tour.
What a massive operation, Your narration was spot on.
My vote, this is the coolest video you have done. Worked in a green sand foundry for 20 years, know all about what sand does to steel.
Great tour. He explains very well and you ask great questions. Thanks!
Most excellent video, Chris. You relate to all that's happening at the plant. I relate to working at such a plant. Thank you.
fascinating series, Chris! Thank you for taking us along with you!

Dude! Nice drone work, & that music had me rocking along! Thanks so much for coming to Atomic Sand!!!! 😃
truly amazing thank you for the tour. As always with Chris content worth watching.
Thank you for sharing this information Chris! What a fantastic operation!
MR DIGG has a large investment in his operation.... THANK YOU!!!!!
except he can't fix the hole in his screen deck 😂
Thank you for watching!
@@middletnpyrolol, which one?!! Hahahaha
@@TheRealMrDiGG lol the upper most screen at the 1st operation he shows 😉

Still gotta show his garden center.

Incredible - brilliant operation and forward thinking the Real Mr Digg. Thanks for showing this operation in the detail you have LetsDig18.
Thanks so much for watching!
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome series. Thanks! Very interesting what goes on around a dump. Love the business model in a concept anyway - assume decently profitable.
Amazing drone footage. Watching from England.
What a fantastic explanation of where we get our sand from. An enormous undertaking. Thanks so much for taking us on this journey . Greetings from Australia

Your boss called he said for you to get back to work, and to get off of UA-cam on company time!
@@armoredsaint6639this made me seriously lol!
Huge construction
I have a sand pit in FL and I hit kaolin at 18’. It’s crazy how the layers run. The biggest buyer of kaolin is Kodak film. The sheen on gloss paper is kaolin.
Wow, like a picture with all the colors in the sand. What an impressive place.
I have an idea for your friend to separate the clay balls from the rocks. Have him look at how the Northern Minnesota Iron Orr mining plants do it with their product.
Chris - you knocked the drone coverage out-of-the-park! Lol
Drone footage was BADASS!

Got to be careful of the silica

At least every 6 months
@@TheRealMrDiGG
Thanks for answering that, it was the one answer I was looking for in the video.
wow Now I know where the cost of concrete stems from. Its an expensive process! great video once again!
I could sit and watch this kind of stuff all day. Thanks for sharing Chris
Must have a team of engineers running around keeping it all running, one thing fails it all go's pear shaped. Amazing.
Hi Chris yet another fantastic video at Mr Digg's reclamation establishment, after watching this video today I'm absolutely blown away by this massive operation

intresting video chris very nice dredging operation
These tours are absolutely fascinating. Real world engineering at it's best. Thanks for putting them together.
Ohhh there it is! THANK YOU Ryan! Fast delivery of requested footage! Going to watch it now!!
I asked Mr digg for this kind of footage last week, amazing that it was already shot before I even asked. Thank you Chris for scratching this itch!
Great video great presentation from Mr Digg. What an operation!
Great tour and great music with the drone. Thanks for sharing your vacation
Music was awesome!
Absolutely amazing operation thanks for the tour Chris

Kaolin is also an ingredient in kaopectate, so when he says it plugs things up, he's right!
Cheers Chris Ryan has an awesome setup for sure. Thanks for taking us along. Safe travels. Ken.
