Just commented on the creek run video of the gem mine in hiddenite, glad to see yall had already visited. 👍

Knew exactly where yall were, yall was in my home town. Did yall chk out the log cabin while yall were there?. Also theres a gem mine in hiddenite up off hwy 90 just one more exit back west.

Hello Scott and Lauren. As always I watch just about all of your videos and enjoy them a great deal. This particular video though needs a mention that this particular mime is offering buckets that are " salted " which means the owner of the mine adds various gem minerals to the bucket along with soil and non-valuable rock. That's all well and good as long as the mine owner has a statement somewhere letting people know that these buckets do not contain material from the area where all of these various gem minerals are common. Sometimes they will use the word, enriched but most people don't know what that means. It's a fun experience for a family, however, and I'm well aware that many people go to roadside mines with flumes and do screenings like this and have a great deal of fun. It also turns on kids to geology and gemology and has great educational value for the whole family as well as vacation fun. I just think it might have been good if you mentioned that in your video so that people understand that there are not places where one can just scoop up a load of gravel and find all kinds of gemstones like this. Also most of these gemstones can be bought online for as little as $8 or $10 per pound. The one mineral you had difficulty identifying Scott, the one with the peacock-like iridescent colors across its face was labradorite. Keep making your great videos but I think it's a good idea to mention things like salting to your viewers. Also something you might want to add to your full length videos would be the date and in some cases the location as many of us would find that very helpful. Keep digging, keep sharing your videos, and by all means keep having fun.

Do you know how far it is from the road where you stopped to the top where you ended up looking for rocks? I reached the top on Monday but I haven’t been able to find out how far that rocky trail actually is in feet or miles…

Beautiful rocks! How hard was it to find material of this calibrr at the site?

Good video keep it up

That turned out to be a pretty good one, got it sitting in the plant window now, thanks guys 🙏

Great video folks

I love a big garnet… went to a dig this past weekend & didn’t have much luck, I hope the Arkansas trip was good

What a fun adventure. Thanks for taking us along for the fun and doing all the hard work for us. Great finds 🎉

Which one of the ruby digs would you say you did better at? We still haven’t been up there to check any out

Nice to see the big boulder still in the pit.

I'll never forget seeing the huge Rubies we found in Cherokee in 1959

👍nice

Sick

Dang, that’s a freaking honker if I’ve ever seen one 👍🔥

I absolutely love garnet I live in ct and there is a very quiet spot where I sit and sift

Where was the location of the find?

A hillbilly with a hair lip😂

👍✌️

We still haven’t been able to get after the rubies yet, looks like a good time

YUM!

Dang, those steaks over the fire looked amazing, I haven’t been there yet & didn’t realize they had a campground there too

Max didn't seem to be struggling at all!

Where is this location at?

Very nice e

Did anykne see the face to the left?

I'm down in there somewhere. We get our NPR signal from near there.

I was there a month ago. What a gorgeous place! I've wondered how they've fared in Franklin, Sylva, and Dillsboro as well.

Thank you for the beautiful view, we have a few ourselves here at Big Bend Ranch State Park....a Ranger says hi.

Ive been trying to find videos on how this sylva, Dillsboro all the way out to this area did. I know the river goes through all those towns.

Awesome activity with the beloved family ❤❤

When I worked at the NRA National Park Service we were told to fill these caves under the ok-a-bah marina bldg with cement and the caves had a whole lot of crystals in them.

Great scores, I got some good news on a spot today!!!

That’s a cool one, I got a little news on a spot I found a while back

It's beautiful like Lauren 🤩

❤😊wicked find congratulations 🎉
