- This is the same hole that was started in the first video. I continued to pull large plates of Microcline and Quartz Crystals from here. The hole now goes back about 15 feet and more continue to come out.

It would have been nice to see them cleaned up.

Fantastic specimens! Looks like you hit the MOTHERLOAD‼️Worth the work guys. Please do a clean-up video. Would love to see these clean and all purdy. 😉
I would like to see crystals after cleaning ;)
Great video!! It would be awesome to see a video of he cleaned up stones!! You should get some gloves. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
DUDE! WOW! Would really love to see some of those plates after cleaning.
agreed - and yes wow - one day,,. one day!!
What a find! Congrats!
Good job finding them
I absolutely love these videos. I remember watching this year's ago and hoping to go there one day! Well, that day is coming I'm going to Colorado Springs for a week in July! Hopefully I can find some kool crystals!
I will hit you up on Facebook.. See if you still need a spot for prospecting.
Fascinating, thank you for sharing your passion.
Your very welcome. I have a lot more of these to upload. This one seemed to drag on while I was putting it together. Now that I have it out of the way it will free me up to work on a couple of my favorite ones.
Great show!
Good job my brother..!!!
Estou me escrevendo no seu canal dei também laik ativei ó sininho Deus abençoe você é sua família gostei muito das pedras lindas demais parabéns amigo Deus abençoe você é
Hey bud I'm in Denver for six days just wondering if you could me and my nephew on a dig possibly 💯😃👍
Like kids in a candy store..God Blessed You guys with a amazing find !!! Jesus Loves You Be Safe Digging
HOLY *#$!& !!!! Really BIG!! So many crystals, even on the floor!!!
My gosh, really a great find!!!
Wish I could find crystals like that where I live.
Those are BADASS 😎👍
Selamat anda telah menemukan komentar dalam bahasa Indonesia yang baik dan benar 😊
I have watched so many of this type of video that I can tell the good crystals by their shape
Enjoyed this, will you be showing your finds after they had been cleaned up? Interested in seeing what the crystals look like without all the debris and dirt on them. Thanks
Please post them after they are cleaned!So cool!
I will no be cleaning these, except to wash them off. I will save them to cut and polish in the future. The insides are clear and gemmy, but the outer layers very rough.
as a fellow Colorado rockhound I would love to be able to gift you a pair of good quality gloves my friend lol. Great find, get those good gloves amd make finding them easier on your mitts!!
Cuidado!
Great hunt well done
鉱物採取は楽しいですよね。日本にも鉱物採集捗るところがもっと欲しいです
Nothing worse than watching this and seeing a lot of crystals that he's missing haha ouch!
Nice video. Hate to see all the damage.
Very nice
Do you have a video of the crystals after you have cleaned them up? I think that would be a great idea.
For those of you asking to see some washed off or cleaned up...… these crystals are coated with a type of overgrowth that does not clean up well. The best ones from this find will be cut and polished, the insides are still nice and clear and smokie in color.
Thanks, just saw this after I sent my query, a shame they
Don't clean up pretty because they look awesome
What about a mild acid bath of some kind to remove the overgrown gunk?
Its not an overgrowth that can be cleaned off or effectively removed. In fact, it is more like the crystal formed originally, and then at some point began to grow again. This secondary growth is very opaque. The only way to get to the shinny inside is to grind away the outer layers. This type of crystal layering is very common around these parts.

Hey Woody! Glad to see your still making these videos. My boy was watching with me, he's like "I want to go back to Woody's driveway to get more crystal's"! I'm like, your old enough to get out and dig them yourself now.
Hi Mike, Come on back when you can. I put new ones put all the time. Hope you guys are doing well.

To me it seems like you need a vacuum cleaner get it all just laying on the floor
Learning so much

How did you figure out the spot to dig in the surface? Did that seam go all the way up? I’ve been prospecting for a few years now but I still don’t understand the pegmatites and huge pockets like those found in Colorado
Claim jumping. Doing it while the snow is out.
You should dig farther down past the crystal layer topaz is likely below that. Check for pink granite and if you are in a batholith area of the pikes peak range. Much of Colorado is already staked for mining claims in mineral rich areas you check to see before digging.
Looks like love rocks to me.
Oh man, I'd be in there every day if I found a hole like that. Extracting crystals is so rewarding. Too bad some of the bigger plates have damage. Looks like they collapsed against each other at some point. But you found some perfect ones too. The DT singles are ma favorite. :)
I know exactly how you feel. When I first started finding good material years ago, I would dream about it at night. Sometimes I still have dreams like that. That's when you know you you've been bit hard by the rock hounding bug. You are correct, the pocket or seem, has at some point in the past fallen inward causing some damage.
Badger2410 I dream about it too. Pulling beautiful crystals out of pockets. Those are the best dreams. :)

Nice video! 👍🏼👋🏻😊
como se ha se la plata de dolar
Man i never find any crystals lol, ive been looking in the surrounding las vegas desert, i probably just suck at it lol. Really nice fimd brother, congrats!
So...… a little food for thought here... I know there are some very interesting minerals near the Vegas area. They may not be in CRYSTAL form, but they are interesting none the less. Find a local mineral club and maybe join-up with them. They can led you to furthering you knowledge of local minerals...… and maybe eventually... crystals.
@@ColoradoGhostCreek hey thanks man, yeah ive grabbed alot of cool lookin rocks, one i cant tell is pirite or gold lol. U guys ever in vegas area and wanna go geod hunting message me! Take care!
@@emperoraries622 Thanks for the offer, same to you if you find yourself in Central Colorado.
So whats the plan man you gonna make a mine?
Naw, I'll let some one else have a little fun. No need to dig them all out.
@@ColoradoGhostCreek can feel that man thats dope
Wow! pocket, after pocket
Any recommendations for the non-geologist on where to claim and dig for quartz or amethyst in Colorado? I'm starting a crystal and gem shop and would love to be my own supplier!
There are only a couple of places in Colorado noted for producing Amethyst, Quartz on the other hand is quite abundant. I would suggest joining a local mineral club and going from there. I belong to an "Internet-Club" called Colorado Prospector. It is full of information from all parts of Colorado.
Think gold , go-to a stream bed , look at what's there , quarts is very common, very tough, quarts comes in many forms , check below falls , and where currents slow , check after heavy rains ,again . Undercuts ,road cuts ,check anywhere you don't have to dig , fence posts , graveyards , check under the metiorites!
Amethyst is my birth stone I would love to dig for some but my health is poor I see u are finding many of them and wish I can I have small one to turn into a reckless is it possible that u can send a small one I dont get much on my ssi to afford anything but I would love to have one .
I've found quartz crystals up on Pike's Peak with that purplish coating on it, what is it, and how do you get it off?
If it is a really nice crystal, I clean it with Super Iron Out! You can find that product at the major supermarkets and big box stores. as far as to "What is it?", the staining on most crystals is a residue left over from gas that was present when the pocket originally formed. Anytime you see this staining, you can assume that piece can from a pocket that is probably close by.
I disliked video cause there was no clean up
a question, What do you do with these crystals? do you keep? is there a market? Universities, Museums, retail, jewelry makers......are they valuable? so many questions
Most of the items I find I keep in my own personnel collection, I don't sell them. I have made some good looking jewelry from some of the specimens and gave them away as gifts to family and friends.
Muito legal...só não sei que tipo de pedra eles encontraram??
brazil is shait!
😍😮😮😓💎💎
Quero one I. present? please!
Piva zemlja što ima ovakve rudnike to je bogata zemlja
I've seen this before, maybe even commented before, but wanted to say I was just thinking about this exact video when I was hounding and digging Friday near the South Platte. I was thinking PLEASE open up into something like that one... THIS ONE^ =)
I’m gettin a break from school and thinkin about headin up to Colorado to try my luck at some crystal hunting. Do you know any good locations? Like what’s south platte? I’d rlly like to find somewhere that’s like not an organized mining spot but you won’t get in trouble for digging there
You have the right tools for excavating the crystals. That is so good for collection. Awesome tool choice. Good and careful job.
đá này là đá gì ?? có giá trị không vậy .? chỗ tôi có nhiều lắm .
Be careful that upper area don't cave in on you with your head down I that hole!
I would never leave that place its the entrance to the fairy kingdom
I haven't been back to it in perhaps 3 years. I bet lots of animals use it. It wouldn't surprise me to know that bear even hibernate in that cave during the winter time now.
Nice unearthing
It'd be cool to see them cleaned up!!!
Actually I think you would be disappointed. Just cleaning them up does not make them look very good. The best ones however, are clear or Smokey inside. If I grind away all the outer "onion" layer, I can make some real nice faceted jewelry stones.
I enjoyed this! Been to colorado once, looks like i need to go back!
Great admin!
what the use of that stones
If you found it on the 17th that was my 60th birthday. Wish I could see it cleaned. God bless guys.
That's awesome! Is this on claimed land? I live in Canon City and I wanna get out and do some digging but I'm not sure if there's any area not under claim that would produce anything
No this area is not under claim. You raise a good question and that is one thing you have to be sure of before you start heading out to dig. I learned how to do land research from the club that I belong to. It's called Colorado Prospector. You can find it on line. if you become familiar with that process, it will help you identify where to go. But yes, there is open land available to dig.
Badger2410 thanks for the info!
I know of several places with these minerals in Montana currently working a great dig myself !!!
There's a lot of good stuff out where you're at in Canon City, but up by Gold Camp road, on the south side of Pikes Peak there's some great places to dig.
If you find something good, it only costs $160.00 to file your own claim-- it's demonstrably worth it!
What a pocket
Anybody watched this how much do you think they have found n the price
They certainly are beautiful...but what the heck do you guys do with them?
Come here in Philippines and you would see a mountain of Cristal, 100%
NATURA ESTE O MARE ENIGMA!!!! NOI FACEM PARTE DIN EA !!! 😊❤
Would be nice to see some of that washed off.
I didn't really do much as far as cleaning these up goes, just washed them off. Most of them are not that, "Gemmy". Most of them have a hard, natural secondary growth on the outside. If I was to break one open, it would look real nice and Smokie on the inside.
@@ColoradoGhostCreek Ya, I was thinking the same thing. I was dying to see a beautiful cleanup shot but as you said sometimes getting them "clean" won't happen or takes chemicals and time.
@@ColoradoGhostCreek Would vinegar damage the gems?
@@beccag3871 No, aside from soap and water Vinegar is about as gentle of a solution that you can use to clean most Quartz Crystals. I prefer to use a product called , "Super Iron Out" SOI for short. It is a cleaning powder found in most large stores. One of the reasons that I like it is because I can control the strength. For a gentle cleaning I only use a little powder, for a more aggressive cleaning I use more powder.
i envious for that crystal you share me impossible to come in some your crystal maybe if sureprise me ammazing
Great video
Okey
Badger, If your ever looking for someone to go with you, I live in the Springs and would luv to go with someone who has the lay of the land. I would go up there to hunt crystals but it looks like there are a lot of claims and I don't want to claim jump, if you have any suggestions on where I could go they would be much appreciated. Thanks Jeff
Please see my posts about joining a club familiar with your area. I am a lifetime member of the Colorado Prospector Club. It helped me to understand the process of filling a claim and something like that is a great place for most people to start.
FANTASTIC POCKET. NEARLY EVERY PIECE MUSEUM QUALITY GREAT FIND.. YOU LUCKY DOGS.
Thank You!
جميل جدا.. ما اروع خبايا الأرض
What a find! That was really cool to watch even got a little anxiety waiting to see what would come out next!
Awesome seam of crystals! Can't wait for the next video!
speaking of that, I wonder if they find these often or this is once in a lifetime type discovery for them...
É preciso ter muito cuidado pra poder entrar num buraco como esse, devido desmoronamento. Não vale arriscar muito.
nice
WHERE SHOULD I GO TO DIG? I want to learn what to look for and how to get to them.
Email me at Badger4life@q.com that will be a good place to start.
Yes neme Sudir aceh
Great video. Have you thought about getting a GoPro camera so you don't have to hold the camera?
So I actually do have a Go Pro. I don't think it is very good for close up video. I wish it had a focus feature, I'd probably use it more.
SubhanAllah
Otimo video +1like😉👍 +1 inscrito magnifica drusa 🤗
nice nice nice
ما شاء الله
Can you help me prospect this area?
Sure.... Email me at Michael.g.wood@hotmail.com, if nothing else I can give you a location you can check out on your own. Whatever you are comfortable with. Have a good one, Woody.
wow, you need a chinook helicopter, it can lift it's own weight in cargo.. make the climb a short one... enjoy your photo work!!!!!!
That's funny! If I had one of those I'd be in trouble, my back yard is already over-flowing with rocks.
fantastique !!!!! sublime !!!!!

I'm not very familiar with crystals, do they clean up nice or is that about it?
Some will clean up exceptionally well, most from this hole are shaped well but not very clear. The best ones come out of the ground and look perfect instantly.
How do you know where to look ?
ever heard of gloves? Painful to watch. But beauty hole.
What are some public places to do this In Colorado?
That's a tricky question with no short answer, lots to consider before you go out looking at the ground. If you are serious about learning, I suggest a local rock hound club. They are pretty good about introducing others to all the rules and regs.
