It's like those crystals captured a bit of the sun and is showing off. Beautiful colors

Those are some beautiful crystals. 😍 Love the golden color. Thanks for the video, sir.

I never get tired of seeing people pull these amazing crystals out of the Earth! Thank you for always sharing these events. It is fun to watch!

This looks incredible! How fun with amazing crystals! I hope I have the $ at Christmas to order some dirt! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: DDD dirt boxes! Genius! As a kid, if Santa left me a Herkimer diamond paydirt box under the tree... i would've thought I died and went to heaven! Heck, I'm gonna order one for myself, too! Bryan... Great show today... Your enthusiasm is contagious! Matrix... you smooth movin' devil, you! Your the greatest co-star, ever!

Loved seeing my friends having so much fun. This family is amazing. Chad, Maggie, and the boys...thank you for letting us share your treasures! I love how these crystals have even more power then any others! Power of pure friendship and Joy! We love you guys. Bryan I'm so happy you were able to go and see for yourself! It's insanity!

The best vibes at DDD. One of my favorite parts was just everyone cheering each other on and celebrating each other’s finds. That and it’s practically a machine dig with Chad having a giant excavator on site to clear the overburden everyday so you start fresh. I’ve spent many days at other mines just clearing material from previous miners to get into good dirt or ledge.

There's gooolllld in them there hills. I love the golden color!!!

Awesome video Bryan! Thank you for sharing!! I love digging for Herkimer Diamonds. Can't wait to go back and dig for more next year.❤❤

Watched till end, thank you. Can't wait to travel and rock hunt

Making this 2nd on my bucket list for 2024. Eclipse dig is #1.

Love my large box! Can't wait to dig there, guys!

This was absolutely the best place to dig! And the owners were super nice!

So awesome!! ❤❤❤

Awesome find

You have so much fun on your adventures. I like watching you at Matrix with your friend.this

I recently heard that crystals form down where a subducting plate meets the mantle. To have them come up and say “Hi” is a miracle. I love your videos Brian. You’re such a sweet person. ❤

I dont think they form as slowly or ss deep as any scientists claim. Some maybe, but not all. I have seen many come out of liquid saturated clays that once had deep waters above them.

Love it! Thank you again Bryan 🙏♥️ Give little adorable Matrix my love always! 🙏♥️

Crazy to think that these can be found so close to the surface!

DDD is the best. I had booked my dig way in advance for my birthday and it just so happen to work out it was when you visited! I had the best time digging alongside Bryan and the crew. It was like a Herkimer time machine for me. I’ve heard story’s from older miners about how dirt digging used to be like this in certain locations. Pulling out palmers by the bucket full. First time I experienced it myself. Definitely a bucket list dig experience.

@@silvergirl7810 I paid $250 for 4hrs on two occasions this year. My second trip I pulled out a 2 pound perfect Crystal that’s worth more alone then what I spent on the two trips. I’ll never sell it though. I enjoyed it so much I tipped the owner in Bison steaks. So the entry may be a lot to some, but you can’t compare DDD to the mines charging $10-20 entry it’s not even the same stratosphere, but everything is relative. I’d also take 4hrs at DDD over two days at the $100 entry mines. This is my hobby and passion. Some people like to golf and wouldn’t hesitate to spend $150 in a day doing that. So I say life’s short do what you love and make memories it’s worth every penny.

@@b9brutality Dozens of large golf ball or larger and several hundred smaller ones. My largest were over 2 pounds. For the me biggest attraction at this particular location is that you are dirt digging. Usually with Herkimers unless your checking tailing piles you need to move lots ledge and hammer and chisel your way into pockets. I’ve spent several days working 8hrs a day very hard labor to hit a pocket containing smaller gemmy crystals. So it’s a dream to take a Geo pick and work the dirt and watch the crystals just expose themselves.

Imagine living there 😮..I would buy one of those houses in a second

My favorite place and people on earth!! Congrats Maggie and Chad! Great things happen to awesome people!!

Great seeing you last week man. Thanks for bringing these out to Haunted Ridge!

Bryan, you love your double headers!

WOW I LOVE THESE HERKIMER DIAMONDS 💕💕💎I see that you don't send the Dirty Diamond Diggers Dirt Box to Norway, so that is sad!!

God made us a amazing planet to live on. So much beauty in so many ways.

Beautyful crystals👍👏

Wow. These Herks are huge! Mine are tiny and took me half a day to dig 32 years ago

Such an amazing place!! Matrix and Finnick are buddies!!!❤

Excellent video, Bryan! Chad, if you're reading this, I want to visit your location next spring/summer if I'm able!

Wow that a lot 😮

I ordered the dirty Dimond diggers it was amazing

I would LOVE to have any of these Herks.

That's cool

Hey Bryan just watched the video and ordered a box to see if we want to visit and dig. Thanks!

N/West Tennessee, only thing here to dig are Arrowheads or metal detector signals. Hard Orange Clay Dirt. But Kentucky has opportunities

Great

MATRIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do we get something like that in green as well?

How do you know which areas have them?

what does it cost to dig at the site? Looking to hang out in NY State this year

What a shame they don't send to Australia. I would so love one for Christmas!

Do you get to keep the crystals?

Dear lord I would literally fall out if I was to pull out one of those but since I live in NC I’ll never have the chance to and I definitely don’t have the money for one of those boxes I’ll keep enjoying your videos

Hi there. I am looking to go do some rock hounding to find things like amethyst, agates, geodes, just all kinds of fun crystals. I am hoping to do it during Christmas time, but I am not sure where there is to go. I live in FL and was wondering if you knew any places where I could go, would N.Carolina be a great place?

Its been a month i hope you still got control of this account.happy belated thanksgiving to y'all. From AUSTRALIA.

Sorry I haven’t been around lately I’ve been pretty busy and back in December I had Covid and strep throat all in one which was horrible. I lost someone recently that I didn’t get a long with and one of my favorite KZreadrs so it’s been pretty tough.

Idk if u can but i dare you to go to the labradorite location where it has these cool stones

😘😘😘

OK what happened to you gonna tell me how I could get Herkimer dirt with crystals in it shipped to my house did they run out or is it because there’s snow?

Wow!! This spot is new to me and seems great!! I went to their site..seems a little pricey tho...not sure why?? In a 4 hour dig what would the value of these herks be? Obviously it's for a supervised rock hounding experience, and I fully understand why the service is worth it. BUT, if my crew of 4 houndin' adults want to patronize this establishment $1,000 for 4 hours is totally unrealistic. We are experienced amateurs hounding for about 10yrs in the NJ/NY/PA area and some of the pay sites are totally worth the cost of admission...$250 a person just seems like a tourist trap. NO DISRESPECT INTENDED. I'm sure the owners know what they have and their prices are what they should be, just unattainable for a lot of people. UNLESS there is a reason why IT ISNT overpriced?!?!? Would love some more inside info/opinion about this.🍻💎💎💎

@TheCrystalCollector

I understand where you’re coming from and actually they are having to go up on their price next year because for the price they have said people are getting way way more than they’re paying for like 10 times the amount sometimes, the site is probably the best site I’ve seen for getting tons of herks out. He may even not open up next year because of the unbalancing and what people paying what they take out. If this site in four hours you want to find more herks you find all year going to other places if you went every day . It’s kind of a wild place. I found three to $4000 worth of herks in just that short amount of time. So I think at this point the owners, not sure what to do, he’s going to focus on the boxes right now that you seen in the end.

Price out machine digs at other Herkimer mines and $250 is a giveaway. (Many of those machine digs also don’t guarantee anything or they cap you at the amount found) You’re practically getting a machine dig here with Chad having a large excavator on site to clear the overburden and piles from past miners. So you’re not wasting anytime here you get right into it and Chad makes sure you leave happy.

I’d love to do this but unfortunately don’t know where to start nor have anyone else that wants to do it with me

Crystal collector, I have never found a crystal and I keep trying to find one

man i wanna go dig for these, but i aint got the time or money!

Lower quality herkimer's aren't worth much, I see them sold cheaply. But I heard that big ones that are very clear can be worth a fair amount?

Why are you always trying to put people's crystals in your pocket?it just shows your personality

Please stop calling it a diamond, you can do so much better.

Were do you find the crystals????? 🫣😨🤨
