If you join the Mountain Area Gem & Mineral Association (magma) you can get discounted fees there. I've been up there a couple times. It's a good place to take the kids after school.

Hey Bud, I'd like to see you do a demo on how you polish up those Garnets one day

@@TheCrystalCollector I have quite a few chunks of the mica schist that contain garnets but not sure how to get the garments out with any kind of ease.

Hello!!! Absolutely enjoy your videos and have learned what to look for and how too's for mining. Unfortunately the mine is now closed permanently. This past summer some people went into the mine and started removing plates of schist from the ceiling causing a collapse. The tellings are still plentiful with garnets However I don't believe this will last long. Thank you for your videos and all that you do to post them.

I really like Amethyst but I also love garnets. I actually found a large garnet about 2years ago I stepped on it.The point was sticking out of the ground. I wasn't looking for anything ,just was walking and thought it was a regular rock. I looked closer and realized I truly had something special. I didn't have it cut I just had it wire wrapped into a necklace. Love it...😘

Love coming on your adventures. Always excited to watch when I see you post a video. Thank you for bringing us along.

I was just thinking about your channel glad you posted a video!

never stop making videos!!!

Nice finds and nice fig tree behind you!

Love your videos

Hello Bryan, I love watching you find the crystals and showing them to us partially or fully cleaned and polished. The garnets you found in this video are a colour I've never seen before, and larger as well. Take care my friend, good luck and happy hunting for those wonderful crystals Mary-Ellen UK

I’m working on a video soon showing the polishing process and the bigger ones after they were polished, each one of them has you so much uniqueness

Your channel is my new obsession! Love from Scotland!

Love seeing polished finished products 💕

The density of that particular pegmatite is mind scorching! It rivals the pegmatites in the San Diego area. Wow, the amazing geological history of that region must be a tale for the ages! Those garnets are beyond huge an there are so many! Great dig Bryan!

Awesome vid man!! We have a similar occurrence in Northern Ontario. To get any residual mica off I use a textile gun, works great. Keep up the great vids!! Andrew

Got a few when I was younger out of this mine. One was the size of a grapefruit. Inspired me to get into lapidary and jewelry work. Would love to come back soon!

Amazing garnets Bryan , WWWHHHAAATTT !!!!!!!!

I always enjoy watching your videos!

My husband and I love watching your channel!! We are currently living in Washington State, and have had some luck with garnets in the Leavenworth area. You hike 3 miles, 1034 elevation gain, and are greeted with a beautiful lake, Heather Lake. It quiet, peaceful, secluded...and riddled with garnets!! Wahoo! The hard work is always worth the reward. We will be moving to the east coast, Virginia, by the end of the year, and cannot wait to explore a whole new world of digging and amazing gems. ( I think I'm going to go nuts!!) Thank you for sharing your adventures with all of us. Could you also share with us your method of polishing your garnets? That would be neat to see!

I look forward to each video. Something from the midwest would peek my interest even more

Love how you put in illuminate music in the backround as the camera turned around towards the for a second triangular shaped cave.

U really deserve a lot more views for your amazing content!!!!

Garnets are my favourite 💗 GREAT video

Great job!! Can't wait to see them all polished up!!! Love your vids whaaaaaaaat!!

Really love your videos!!!!

I just went there yesterday because of your video. The whole family had a great time. Unfortunately the mine was closed, not sure why. Could have been the heavy rainfall a few days back. But the dump piles had great garnets in them. We filled up a whole bucket of definetes and possibles. Looking forward to cleaning them up and seeing what we got. Thanks for the channel!!! You have re- kindled my love for gemstones and we will travel to more locations around the country🥰

Wow some great garnets! I really am enjoying your content. Keep up the great job!

WOW! That's amazing, great video! The size of the stones are huge, I'm speechless in Mississippi!

You may have already gotten it, but be ready for the bonus piece, it’s a piece of amethyst right out of the mine still with the original dirt and mud on it, they’re fun to clean up and be the first person to see and you’ll be able to do that, be sure to open it outside

Nice keep up the gd work thanks for sharing WHAAAAAAT!!

Ugh I'm so jealous. I wish I had mines like this in Washington 💔

Darn it! That`s a big garnet!

My birthstone is garnet. I enjoyed the discovery!!! Maybe you will do another video on garnets because they come in many colors and there are several types ☺

Hi, Handsome! Any mines near Maggie Valley!? My sister moved there recently...I might have to go visit! Love your work!

After seeing this video and many of your other videos I was so inspired and excited to dig here but, it seems that it has collapsed while someone was digging at a support column...So your only aloud to dig the tillings if you pay for the 3 hour horse ride. Going to checkout two of your other mine videos I saw near here in NC!

You need to do a personal collection video to show us what you have collected over the years.

I went to that mine once and I found a garnet about the size of the first one you where showing but it was in the floor in a small part of the cave

Wow huge garnet

Nice

Maravilhoso!!!!

Muito bom essas pedras e chou

Beautiful Garnets...now what do you do with them? Do you make jewelry or sell the stone? Thank you for sharing patricia

Raw garnets are fun. They work with the root and sacral chakras

North Carolina seems to have awesome large crystal decomposing bedrock locations I want to get out there so bad.

The garnets are really large, but is there any parts of them clear enough you could facet a nice red stone? Either a large stone or perhaps several small ones? Always wondered. Thanks for the great video!

So big! . Unbelievable! I found garnetts max 5mm...

cool vid l.p. is next on my list have you tried mason mine in franklin nc for their sapphires?

WOW!
