I went to the Harvard Quarry in the late 80's, and I definitely Remember how steep it was. I found some black tourmalines, but because there were so many other mines to go to that were easier than the HQ, I only went to the HQ that one time.
So, your video was recorded in 2018, and it is now June 29, 2024. I called one of the Dobell family members about 4 months ago and asked several questions regarding the cost of material, camping, and the size of pieces one may collect. He said you can take whatever size you can afford and fit in your vehicle. Good answer! I live in Tacoma, Washington, and plan to drive there, probably later this summer. Nice video, thanks. Don Wilson.
I just went hiking here last week. I haven't been to the lower quarries, but I have been to the Harvard Quarry at the top of the mountain
We have a massive 13000 cerified star sapphire glassy crystal with golden sheen and cats eye effect in one stone

Damn, these dudes are super super cringe. It hurts.
Young people are so funny. Being embarrassed by your opening comment. 😂
Karena tidak bisa menunjukan foto jadi susah
I’m from Northwest TN. A family friend told us about this area. My family from MI have went multiple times. I, too, have gone around 6 times and found at least 30 teeth in 1.5hrs last time. I have a collection of goblin and crow shark teeth. It’s like a high when you find that first one! ❤
I enjoy watching your awesome video too , and I always watch the crystal collector Bryan Major on the KZread channel
Maine has such beautiful pieces. The Harvard quarry tourmalines are absolutely amazing. U won't find black tourmalines (schorl) like them anywhere else.
We are going there in less than 2 weeks. I am so stinking excited. Living in MN we have no fossils so this is a fulfillment of a life long dream for me. How much material do they let you keep and do they charge to cut down the slabs to make them into smaller sections? Any helpful tips or information is very much appreciated. Thanks for the great video.
🎉❤🎉🎉
Awesome finds, I have thousands of world class horn corals and crinoid fossils, and maybe the largest horn coral in the world,all of them ,I just surface pick them, it's untelling how much more,is under the dirt, when I start digging for them
Squalicorax is a childhood favorite shark of mine. The first fossil I ever got was a Squalicorax pristodontus tooth from Morocco.
Decades ago, my two oldest sons and I spent many Sundays knee-deep in this creek. Those were some of the happiest days of my life.
Any new videos planned?
maaf saya mempunyai batu black star of quenslands sapphier sebesar 5 carat apabila ada yang berminat akan saya jual
Stupid music ruining the video. Just awful.
Love this !!
Awesome me and my dad are going to try and book a trip out there!
Nice!
Thank you so much for sharing this information!
When you get a nice geode like some of those that you've shown with calcite inside, do you bath it in acid to get rid of the calcite?
Those were some awesome finds. That big broken one was a shame. I have a couple spots near whitewater. I live just south of cape girardeau. There are hundreds if not thousands of spots to hunt in the old swamp.
What state USA?
Living in Steamboat Springs I've been to that Ammonite protected site 4-5 times. Its an amazing location! And yes, mid summer can be quite buggy! Fall is a good time.
Good job 👍
And deep down under the mud flood you'll find large pieces of the tree...
And these pieces look like they're from cedar... And look at different size grains of sand you'll see that those are also petrified wood...and these are pieces of giant trees... You can see more in the dakotas... Only these are of a different type of tree found in the Dakota's...
Headed there soon!! Thank you for the video and suggestions!!!
It’s like they are all stolen
i am on my way!
Just went here, so many fossils! Unfortunately there were a lot of ticks; the best time to visit would definitely be during the winter months.
loaded with poison ivy and poison oak! be careful fellow hunters and copper heads plus small lizards. some banana spiders.
Looks like a lot of fun..great video..really enjoyed
I never knew this was just a short trip away! Thanks for the video!
Looks like Mike n Linda’s house! Great finds!!
great video,im from sw wisconsin,many years ago when i was a kid between potosi and dickeyville wi hiighway 133 a roadcut i found fossils of seashells in the chunks of limestone
Thank you for this video, I’m headed there today… wish me luck… if you see this before I get there is there anything else I should know?
I always used to look for these with my mom when I was a kid, and she called them "Indian beads" ... it wasn't until I was an adult I learned that what we were finding was actually fossilized Crinoid stems. Now I look for them with my kids in Central Illinois!
want to go here also
i want to go there so bad. i creek hunt for arrowheads here in ne kansas and find small petty wood pieces often but very rare do i find colorfull pieces. thanks for your video!!

Dang I waited 2 years to visit this place, finally stopped there after collecting druzy at haunted ridge. There's purple paint all along the treeline. Didn't see any no trespassing signs, only saw the paint, but we all know what that means.
That music dude! Ugh!
