Wow, what an amazing place to dig! My 85-year-old father has been a rockhound forever, but can't walk very well anymore. He lives in Oregon - this would be a great place to take him for a little bit of rocking fun!

My wife and I went to that same mine and dug in a virgin pit and in an hour we got close to 2 thousand sun stones and we only dug about 1/3 of our pit. A pit size is 36"×36..If you dig the whole pit you should have ALOT OF SUNSTONES. It was 100+ degrees when we got there and there was no breeze at all and we had to leave after awhile. My advice is to get there early and bring a large outdoor table umbrella and lots of water, a long flat head screwdriver that has a 1/2" thick shaft thats about 18" long and a 3 pound hammer. Good luck and happy hunting.

The spectrum mine has beautiful stones and many options for customers . I've been going there for years and met people from all over the world there to dig sunstones

I have never heard of these before and I shall have to ask my son if he has heard of them. They are beautiful, the blending of the colours is so lovely especially when held up to the light. Thank you for showing us these little beauties, I've learned something new again. Take care my friend, Mary-Ellen UK

Couldnt help but notice the game songs. Your probably a gamer on your time off huh. When your not collecting crystals, your playing fallout. 🎮😎 Keep it going though. I Enjoy your vids. Makes me want to go collect some crystals too

Great video,you are an inspiration.cant wait to try my luck at finding some crystals.What a fun teacher you are

I love the music. I am going to be going over to the Spectrum Mine soon. I like the Fallout as you zoom in on the great Sunstones at the end.

Those Sunstones that you found are nice!

I just bought a gorgeous sunstone ring while in Boston. It’s not from Oregon. India I believe. A nice orange with copper inclusions. I never heard of sunstone. So I researched and found it was mined in Oregon! Guess who has a brother in Portland?? I will definitely check out this mine and the other mine on BLM land.

Nintendo, curby and Mario lol. You guys are awesome!

This video made me smile. Thank you.

My son gave me a ton of big “ rocks” full of sun stones. I haven’t got them put yet. I’m really excited to see what’s all in there

I’m digging your videos man...brilliant stuff

Look in the rivers in Indiana I have a great collection of Quartz crystals, Feldspar, Agate, Moonstone, and fossils. Look for were the stones pile up and when the water is low splash the rocks with water and you will find treasures.

I love sunstones

I've been a rockhound, and especially a crystal collector since I was a little kid. Well, I'm so glad I've been going back through your videos. This one called to me because of the image you used for the primary photo of this video. I was amazed, and a little upset. See, several years ago I got interested again in rocks and crystals, as I was about to retire, and ready to spend some time doing more things I enjoyed, not just so much dumb s*** I had to do for 20+ years on my job. I bought some rocks that I thought sounded cool, and some awesome quartz crystals. But I also bought a couple of "sunstones." I had never seen any, and really should have Googled it. I got two rocks, but seeing the images of the sunstones you are digging out of the ground, well, oops. Somebody sent me a couple of nice tumbled...orange rocks. Some kind of agate-ish quartz. Thanks for this nice lesson in checking things out better and a learning experience in how awesome is sunstone!

Almost had my chance to go to Oregon this past July. My husband had a business trip but our work was being weird about it. I wasn’t going to bother him much, really! I was going to rent a truck and take off for glass butte for a day or so. Wanted to bring back my son all the different types of obsidian. I admit it. I’m a bit jealous! 👍

hi gothic just wondering... i live in the MUCH wetter part of Oregon (Coastal Mountain Range) and I almost never see mosquitoes. Were you joking or was the area you were looking in really mosquito ridden? Seems strange, especially if you were looking in the high desert areas near Plush... but, then again, there is a lake nearby sooooo... I dunno, just wondering. Hope you found a happy place to land with a kick ass mine nearby ;)
