I want to thank you for the 100% honest review. I am an employee as well as a friend of Mr Wegner. As the person responsible for mining and making sure our areas for the public are top notch, this video makes me feel awesome! I had absolutely no idea you were coming to one of our mines.... we did nothing special to prep the place for you. So glad you had a good time.

Thanks so much for the kind words! Yes, I want to try my best to articulate to the best of my abilities an honest review when I do these things. I always try to keep everything positive regardless, and at Wagner‘s location that was very easy to do because everything was positive! It was a very last-minute idea, I was there for a few days and decided that I could get footage in and we had just a couple of hours but got it done. Such a fun place!

Are you guys open this Saturday and Sunday

I watched this video a year ago and went to Wegner's as soon as I could. We had a fabulous time and are going again in 2 weeks. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos!

So nice! I can’t travel around like I would love to ... so I travel virtually through your videos! Thanks for taking us along!

The integrity of this mine, when it comes to being environmentally conscious and considerate of how they operate, is what really makes it such an inspiration and example to crystal collectors all over the world.. it TRULY stands OUT among the rest, not only for it's spectacular Quartz quality, but for how it's such an extraordinarily honorable and noble operation with ethics and morals (which has become so rare these days😒).. knowing how our crystals are mined is extremely essential to collectors like myself.. loved this vid sooo much!💯💯💗💗🌈🌈👼👼😍😍🌠🌠💖💖✌️✌️ #WegnerMinesRock

Waaaaaaaaaat!!!! Amazing specimens of quartz crystals!!

Chase and I visited Wegners a few years back...we had similar results. Nice clarity, plenty of smaller points in the tailings, and good opportunities in the hardrock mining. Excellent video as always!

I love crystals thank you for your KZread channel it’s awesome

I LOVE those small clusters! They’re so delicate - like faerie crystals. ❤️🧚

I'm a HUGE fan. I want to go to Arkansas! Thank you for sharing your fun work with us. Bless you all.

His "good contacts" come about from years of building his reputation up in the "rock/crystal/mineral" community. For one, being honest and hardworking. Only a handful of folks can truly cut it(mining minerals/crystals full-time)...day in and day out.. You'd be surprised at how people shy away from hauling flats of crystals out of a big hole...lol. His willingness to take risk and possibly not reap the reward(typically mining is pricey...machine, gas, supplies, etc.), and its never a guarantee you'll find anything.....that is another reason TCC has earned a spot digging with the big boys ;) The biggest reason, in my opinion, that he has good contacts & spots to dig at, is mainly due to his heavyinvolvement in the local & national rockhounding/mining scene. Immerse yourself as much as he has into something, such as the crystal mining stuff (surfing too), and the good stuff will soon follow

Thanks for taking us with you. Greetings from Denmark ❤️

I'm fairly new to your channel. Ihave had so much fun watching you. I saw a young man who had dug 400 lbs of some crystal can't remember the name. He had one crystal 18 inches long and 2 more over a foot each. The man interviewing him sounded bored and the young man looked like his face would shatter if he tried to smile. Smoky Quartz in Colorado I just remembered. He had all these huge crystals I'd be jumping up and down singing and dancing for joy. Besides the Smoky Quartz he had all sorts of things I can't pronounce but they were wilde looking one looked like miniture logs all piled in a jumble. I couldn't finish watching I was getting depressed. I watch you and your so happy you get excited when you find something cool. And you explain the rock types which I need so much cause I don't know much here I've found buckets of cool stuff, fossils, I think jasper, fossilierous agate. Took me along time to say that word and to spell it lolz. I've been watching several of your digs and if I wasn't old enough to be your mama I'd be callin you up for a date cause on top of all your knowledge about rocks and the cute way you say wwhhaaaat your a good lookint young man. 30 years ago I was pretty hot looking lol. I still catch men checking out my backside as they ride the little minibikes after their wives LMAO. But all teasing aside you have an awesome channel I 💝💓💞😊☕

Great video! The Coleman quartz mine in Arkansas always displays and sells at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show. Some of their specimens and amazing. Mount Ida quartz hunting is on my bucket list....

Thanks for sharing !!!!! Wonderful spot !!!! 💎💎💎💎🍃

I live in Arkansas about an hour away from this mine and I will say that it is absolutely amazing! There are so many pretty quarts crystals that you can find. This place is awesome!

Wegner is one of our favorites. We also like their rock shop for other things than crystals.

I've only been to Sweet Surrender Mine and Twin Creek Crystal Mine. I've done excellent at both. Good folks up that way.

Nice video. I love this channel. A video digging obsidians would be nice.

Just went there almost in the same outfit as you, found some quartz that is so clear that it almost doesn’t even look real, there really are some gorgeous pieces out there, the only con about this place is how muddy it can get, lol, but that’s all part of crystal mining, some of the pieces I saw in your video were still there so I grabbed them immediately.

Awesome found a wizards window on that crystal

Beautiful

I am going this weekend starting my Crystal journey wish me luck !

Question: how do you carry the crystals without damaging them when you find a whole lot?

@TheCrystalCollector

5 жыл бұрын

Pack them in old newspaper or packing paper of sorts. Them place them in flats or boxes. It’s about the best way I’ve come up with to do it cheaply.

Leaving in an hour. Be in Arkadelphia tonight and digging first thing tomorrow morning

Beautiful pieces. My land has alot of crystals and milky quartz on the surface. Small sized usually. So I pick areas to dig, but I never find anything when digging. I went a bit over 3 feet deep into some clay and nothing. The small ones are always lying about. I don't understand lol.

You should come dig golden phantom selenite here in Utah.

This looks like such a great place to go mining! I'm hoping to visit this July and do some hard rock mining. What tools will I need? Would a sledgehammer, chisels, and mattock suffice?

I'm going to to a public crystal mine like this one tommorow

Have you ever tried dousing rods. They work very well

Man i want to hunt with you someday

Do you know of a good spot in Långban, Sweden. I realy like you channel, keep up the good work!👍

It looks like Wegner Mine is flat, we hunted at Twin Creek Crystal Mine, sheesh we felt like mountain goats! There was NO flat area. Which mine do you prefer?

How exactly do public mines like this work? Is there an admission fee? Do you have to purchase all the minerals you collect at the very end?

@rockhoundingusa8207

Most of them require an upfront free (anywhere from $20-$30). Keep all you find. Some mines will only let you collect what you can fit in a normal 5-gallon bucket. It just depends on the mine.
