That could be one of my happy places. Matrix could show me where to dig 🐶 he's such a character. That is a fair price for a bucket of petrified wood.

Yeah I had no idea you can go out and find such a nice stuff so easily, we are going back soon!
My boyfriend and I are 19 and one of the things that brought us to be together two years ago was our mutual obsession with rockhounding. Neither of us had ever actually been on a dedicated digging trip until last year when we drove all night to dig in a couple places in N.C. for my graduation trip! Thanks only to your videos, because we'd never have thought it possible for people like us to do, after all, we aren't geologists haha! Now we are planning our second trip from Colorado to Arkansas that is even more intense than the first, and we are watching these videos together in anticipation :) thank you for doing what you do

That’s hilarious!!! But, it’s his calling in life!!! I love your sharing that beautiful memory!!! Thank you! To be honest, I’m just the same way. I just wish I could get a job in the Crystal Collector’s Company. My dreams would come TRUE!!! Coming to America in the beginning of the 1960’s, from my birthplace, West Germany, I was obsessed with digging up some gold. Then, I got a rock polishing set for Hanukkah one year and I made lots and lots of gorgeous gems 💎 - I just wanted to make pretty jewelry for my family and friends, well that was nearly 60 years ago and I’m bitten once again upon viewing the Crystal Collectors’ KZread videos!!! (I want a job doing all that - have you ever watched the, ‘Yukon Gold’, TV series??? They’re always doing well in Alaska! (Great series and addicting!). I just think it’s all AWESOME 🤩!!! Thank you for sharing your story! Peace ☮️ ✌🏽🌈🍀😁💎💎💎🍀🍀🍀🤩

I had no idea North America had so many minerals. Really interesting content. Keep up the good work. 💐
Wow that's amazing!!! The first piece you've got.. That orange. Perfection!
Matrix is the best assistant ever! He gets so excited 🤣. I’ve been to a lot of these places when I was a kid. Memories that last a lifetime!
My first and late husband and I were there in 1975.......I have a picture of him posing on top of one of the HUGE pieces.........pictures do not do it justice.........this is an amazing place to visit!!!!
I have thought about going to this place, but now after watching your video it moved up on my bucket list. Thanks
Really enjoyed seeing the colors of the petrified wood. Thanks for the fun video.
It was incredible my idol, great!!!
I had no idea petrified wood had all those colors. I’d love to have ANY of those small pieces that were in your hand. Hopefully Toni will get a box of them from you for us to buy!

Really Beautiful colors, I don't know much about petrified wood and have probably walked over some while looking for Native Artifacts but not like this stuff, I don't think I would have missed something so pretty, I've always had tunnel vision while looking for Native Artifacts and not paying much attention to what else is laying around like petrified wood and fossils and such but I'm on the lookout now, Man it's Amazing to me the huge variety of Beautiful Jewels and Artifacts laying around on this planet we share waiting to be found, it's such a joy to get out and explore and treasure hunt especially with Loved Ones, I Love It.
Lets go new video 😍🥳
Thanks for sharing with us Bryan and Matrix. The colors are awesome and I wonder if the colors are the same for all types of trees. Hmmmm. Next stop northern California at Peterson mountain. WHAAATTT. Lol. Can't blame a girl for trying
My wife and I were there. A big problem they have had is petrified wood poachers.
OMG!!!!! I NEED SOME O DAT!!!
I live in Phoenix AZ and do the loop when visitors come. I drive them up to Flagstaff on Day 1 stopping at Montezuma Castle National Monument. Day 2 starts over at Meteor crater and the Petrified Forest National Park ending in Pinetop/Lakeside. Day 3 is the scenic view going back to the valley via the Salt river canyon on hwy 60. That trip never gets old.
Dang! I was just by there a few days ago. I wood have stopped if I knew there was a place to dig 👍✌. Awesome video😊
True Rockhound you have there my friend 😎 Really cool place thanks for sharing 👍💯
Amazing location, just beautiful.

about 10 years ago i was at a garage sale and got a 6x6x2inch piece for 1.00!! i felt like i hit the jackpot the one s you found so cool so many colors

Awesome!!!!! 👏🏼👍🏼😄❤️🐬
Wow that is absolutely beautiful! This forest is on my bucket list for sure.
I have a few pieces that they let me pick up off the reservation when I visited back in 07! It was EVERYWHERE! You found some prettier pieces though. WHHAAAAAAATT?!!!
Epic! Favorite💗 Thank you for the walk thru. What a catastrophe it must have been to take the forest down. Maybe the same time the dinosaurs perished. Yikes! Matrix! I think the trees needed watering 😆🐾

It’s unlikely you broke that one piece in the beginning. It was probably already cracked in the ground from the land shifting around it. Great finds! This area is my old stomping grounds. 😁👍🏻

Petwood is my favorite rock and being in Texas my favorite is petrified Palm, as that is our state rock. Living in the Big Bend area we have plenty but not all is agatized. A couple weeks back l came across a Nerf Football sized piece of Yellow Palm, been tumbled by nature for millions of years. My largest piece so far. Have found quite a bit of large very colorful chunks of other species too.
I live 67 miles from here dry by all the time when I go to Flagstaff and have been to the places you were at
the pw forest is crazy , i have some slabs of arizona pet wood in my collection , now i need to add some rough chunks after watching this lol
Wow what a nice find
Fantastic adventure score beautiful pieces of petrified wood amazing colours scared 🤣🤣 beautiful and amazing area thank u
That stuff looks amazing!
Yay AZ!
Iv been there and the older lady was amazing! If your into pet wood and want a great price go to her . I had got a trunk full and she even traded me a full round for something I had.

To anyone that might wonder, fungus hasn't always been a thing, so way way back then, fallen wood would just lay on the ground and never rot or compose.
Very interesting place.
That is amazing😍 Just came across your channel and subbed straight away👌🏻⛏🏴
Those are beautiful
That's pretty
Who knew that wood got that colorfied 😎👌?
Just realized one of the pieces I have is petrified wood! I have miss identified it all these years. Im so happy, thank-you! I noticed Matrix was driving at the top of the video...don't you think he's a little to young to be behind the wheel?
Very cool video. We went to that area in 2004, didn’t know about the mining place. Now I want to go back.
That is some nice petrified wood
One of my uncles dug up a huge piece of the prettiest most insane rainbow colored petrified wood from there back in the 70s.. he passed away and it went to my dad. ...One day!
That place looks amazing, I would love just an hour long walk through of that place
I have 3 rocks that are petrified wood. various. Not those bright. As children our parents always too us out to hunt for arrowheads and petrified wood. Lots of awesome fun vations.
Great colors
Lol it's not the only spot, tho. I just got a bunch about a month ago accidentally trespassing on this nice gentleman's ranch. He ended up telling me where a bunch of nice pieces were, and his special cows he's breeding😅💜real nice guy, glad I didn't get shot
Bryan, you SERIOUSLY need to pitch yourself to the Discovery Channel for your own TV show! I love to see you travel the US for minerals and watching Matrix's antics makes me so happy! Just imagine, you could have Mike Rowe be the voice-over narrator guy!
Great video thanks for bringing us along Bryan!
