this is one of the few rare times we get to see how those exibit wothy crystals are extracted from the ground . . . truly amazing sight also your calm nature and the friendly atmospere makes these vids feel so much nicer . . . than if they were just about mining and pulling money out of the ground

That first big Herk that came out of that first pocket shown reminded me of a tooth almost. The tooth right behind the K-9s but in front of the molars. Golems Tooth is what I would call it.

Where can you go and find these? I am considering traveling to the USA this year and either going fossil hunting in florida or herkimer hunting in NY. I am considering a few other options as well.

Whaaaaaattt??? Incredible find! Just another reminder that we have no freakin' clue what the heck could be under our feet in mother earth! I am glad you got to be there to experience this, and I am glad that you did this video so we could all see that humongous Herkie come out of the earth.

Absolutely beautiful. I'm not crazy about the sites that you post where the public can't come in, even on a paying basis, but this one is definitely worth seeing. Thanks for your great work, and helping to get kids and even more adults into rockhounding. Simply wonderful. It's such a vicarious thrill for us old, crippled- up rockhounds. Thank you and Matrix for sharing with us.

This is only possible on private land in the Adirondacks. Try this on public land and it could end in fines or worse. There are some loose ones on the river banks after the spring thaw. I haven't found anything as big as that really big one though.

@@TheCrystalCollector my partner and I have been searching for a public place to mine gemstones for our wedding rings. We are located in Ohio and found the hiddenite mine but there don’t seem to be any gemstones worth digging. Just salted buckets. Is there a public place you would recommend? Looking at herkimer diamonds but open to any true gemstones. Thanks!

Oh Bryan! 1) You need longer arms. Lol! 2) If this is the video you were working on for the last two days, it was worth every single minute! Totally incredible! While that monster was mind blowing, my favorite one was, I think, the last one you pulled where you saw it just sticking up. It was about the size of both your fists and DT and perfect. What a fun video. Congratulations to all! 🥹

That was such a shame to miss the live Bryan, you found some beauties as did others but that was a monster that was the last big one found. I have a small cloudy one that was a gift from our youngest son and I can hold it easily, that one I wouldn't even want on my lap lol. Matrix was very protective there, he is so lovely and I love watching him. Now I have to go as I missed the live as my phone needed charging which always happens at the wrong time. Good luck and take care please my friends God bless you and Matrix love and hugs Mary-Ellen UK

I wish I understood what I was looking at here! I am an agate hunter specifically but I would love to be able to go find something real awesome!😊
That was an excellent day for you. I have several large quartz stones of sizes similar to the prize find. Living on top of a glacially formed coastline has many stone collecting possibilities.
This is one of my favorite ones
fantastic finds ❤
Hi Bryan, well you picked the right day to be there, the pocket you were working was providing some great crystals then that crystal boulder happened, how awesome. Great video. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
That is the exploration of a lifetime. Amazing results and a blessing from above to have such beauty to behold compliments of Mother Nature.
Absolutely fabulous 🤗😆

I'd give my right arm to go on a dig like this... STUNNING finds. We brought our granddaughter to the Herkimer Mine a couple of years back mostly surface finds. But I would love to go back and check out other spots and actually spend time finding a pocket and dig out a beauty like one of these 😊👍
I can't wait to hear what happens with that Herk! It has to be a record! Clearly a museum piece that needs to be displayed and not just sat somewhere in a private collection.

If there is such clear, slow cooled quartz at the surface, then the sulphides must be much deeper.
