I FOUND $40,000 IN GEMSTONES 3 HOURS!!

Took another trip back to the Ocean Picture Stone Quarry and collected almost 1000 lbs of the most beautiful gem stone. We have found that many lapidary artist and jewelers want this stone for making sculptures and jewelry. And are willing to pay for it. So at last after so many years of prospecting I finally get a big payday. It takes a lot of work and a lot of time to sell this material, but the collecting sure is fun!

    @@stephaniemarchant4644 Pretty ignorant comment. Considering mine was constructive criticism and was to help him reach wider audience. I've never had motion sickness in my life, I can only assume the medication your suggesting random people to take with no medical insight on a stranger is an otc medicine for motion sickness. Regardless, It was unbearable to watch, mostly giving me a headache. He could also use a camera mount, even a body one. If he cant simply ask his son to hold the camera since he's there anyway. But he's literally drilling with 1 hand, and filming with the other. Entire way of production you say? like increasing the viewing audience and producing better quality videos would be soooo detrimental for him. Regardless of the method pursued. Albeit extremely simple to get much better quality. You seem like your simping hard for this dude, and attack anybody who says anything negative, and you criticize me for suggesting changes that would help him, but also tell me what I should be doing. Again, Pretty ignorant.

    I worked with a lapidary cutting and polishing stones with expensive equipment it was really intensive rewarding work. I felt priveledged seeing the stone transform the art of cutting a cube into a ball smooth perfectly round polished. The grains flaws become a distinctive signature on each piece of art.

    It looks like there was a gate on the property, and it was a fairly obscure location. Given the fact that other prospectors clearly did drill holes to check for mineralization and passed up the gem values, It's probably fairly safe. Probably a good idea to harvest as much as you can in a season and stock it up in storage, but most of the values on this earth remain the ground because it takes hard work to know it and get it.
