My 2 month old, teething, nephew, slept long enough for me to watch this awesome video. It makes me want to camp for a weekend at Herkimer diamond mines, upstate NY. I found so much the 1st time I went. That was decades ago. I still have my finds. Nothing big but all beautiful. I love the aquamarine. And black tourmaline. ✌❤❤❤❤☺🙏
@@WILDKYLE we were going to rent our campsite with our own personal digging lot, last year. I hope we can still do it. This raccoon bug has put a end to everything enjoyable.
Kyle, your casual enthusiasm and positivity are really enjoyable and your videos totally ease the stress of these chaotic times. Keep up the good work!
You guys made me pray to God that Philippines specifically here where I work have parcels like yours full of gorgeous gemstones. I appreciate much for your sharing those happy inducer vids
Very much enjoy your videos. Thank you for doing all the investigating on where we can find cool rocks and minerals and sharing your knowledge with us. Always fun to watch when you can't get out to do it yourself.
Kyle: Very nice video. I have just one technical comment (can’t help it as I am a geologist⚒😀). You refer to the host rock of the minerals being collected as being part of a lava flow. A lava flow is an extrusive flow of igneous material on land or sea floor surfaces. The material you are collecting is from deeper, slow cooling (hence the crystals) magmatic origins later exposed by uplift and erosion. You are most likely collecting from pegmatitic zones in an ancient silicic pluton or batholith.
Kyle: Thank you so much for your kind words. When it comes to the world of geology there is always something new to learn. Having traveled the world as a geologist I continue to be in awe of the complexity and mystery of our earth’s history. I truly appreciate your excitement over all matters geological and paleontological. It is that kind of enthusiasm that will hopefully excite many of your young viewers to pursue an interest in geology or some related scientific endeavor. Keep up the good work! I look forward to all your future videos.
@@donaldbrizzolara1217 Thank you Donald that means a lot to hear ☺️ I appreciate you being kind in your comment to help me understand these things better. I had a similar comment where someone was just rude and told me to edit out the nonsense. So I appreciate your patience and understanding ☺️
You from GA we live down in the south will be taking our first trip up to hogg mine this coming up weekend thanks your video is helping get a grasp on what to look for
Awesome haul and what beautiful stones. One day I hope to get to do that, along with shark tooth, and bottle hunting lol. BTW I'm so jealous if your hair. 😊
Kyle, I think Ashley is a beautiful "good luck charm" on your digs, hard worker too. It is such a thrill seeing you unearth these beauties!! New subscriber, looking forward to more WILD adventures with this channel! ⛏⚒⛏
what the hex(agon) Kyle this is so cool!! All of those rocks are so awesome!! If I had been there I would've picked up so much! probably more than I could've carried lol 😱🥰
I recently found your channel through dallmyd and absolutely love it , my dad up and till the day he died could look at rock and tell you how it was formed and how it got there ,thankfully my daughters share that same love of geology with me as i did with my dad , thanks kyle,ashley and chris for the wonderful content!
@@WILDKYLE Im going to be a long term fan for sure, im sure your channel is gonna grow substantially and wish you well on your adventures but i do have to ask a question . when my dad passed away i inherited his rather large rock collection to include his geodes one of wich he never opened id like to make it into a display but im afraid to open it is there any tips to prevent from shattering the crystal formations inside? :) i do have a respirator as i know silicate dust can be pretty hazardous
The stones are really beautiful. But, I kind of cracked up, when you said it was "freezing cold". I think "freezing cold" in Florida would be a warm to cool day in Pennsylvania, where I'm from. Lol. You made me think of when my fiancé said, that he was "frigging freezing", when the temperature was in the low 60's. He was born & raised in southern California. And, he totally couldn't understand how I could sit outside, when it was only 30 degrees and not complain about it being freezing. Lol.
So jealous, I wish there were crystal mines here, in the uk. I think the closest one might be in Scotland... nearly 900 miles from me. 😬🤯Awesome video as always! ☺️
Might have to take a trip to Georgia soon! So awesome. In North Texas (Dallas area), I mostly find calcite and septarian nodules. I just got my first tumbler and the septarian comes out wicked cool! Would be happy to send you some raw and tumbled pieces. Not sure that FL has much septarian, if any, but you’d find them along Cretaceous Period formations, since it’s both a fossil and semi-precious gemstone. 🤙🏼
Hey btw this sort of mineralization doesn't occur in volcanoes. What you're mining is most likely a decomposed pegmatite. Pegmatite is igneous, but forms as an intrusion into metamorphic rock and cools very very slowly. Such slow rates of cooling aren't possible at the surface where volcanoes form
Does Hogg Mine allow wagons? For hauling tools and finds? How much are you allowed to take? I'm going in July and am looking for reliable info. New to rock hounding.
Quick question Kyle, do you cut and polish those beautiful blue specimens or leave them as is? I can imagine that lining a gorgeous Bentwood ring or Pendant.
I saw the comment/question below about polishing/cabbing or turning the stone in jewelry, and your response that you like to keep them in the form that you found them. So what is the end game there? Do you have buckets and shelves or display cases around your house with all the stuff that sits there for the next decade? Do you sell your findings to those who do lapidary work? I ask because I rock hound some myself and I cut and polish some myself too, but I am having the issue of running out of space and not being able to enjoy all the specimens that I find and keep house around. Also a good polish can bring out additional beauty of the stone. Want to know if the Beryl you found is typically used in jewelry or cut stones and has value for such?
I typically keep my favorite pieces in my collection and display them. I have a bunch of stuff I do with items I don't keep. I put some on my eBay store, I send some to my Patreon supporters, and I give lots away to my friends. I should have specified I like the beryl as I find it. When I find things like agatized coral I like to clean them up, and cut the geodes, and have the edges polished.
This is not a lava flow you are digging in. This is aluvial scree and everything you are showing us has been removed from its matrix, but has not been worn smooth by water. So where is the living rock formation that all this stuff came from?
Great video man, love your editing style! I'm a wildlife videographer from NC who just got into rockhounding and fossil collecting this year, we should totally meet up somewhere in the Southeast and film a collab video sometime. Just let me know if you'd be interested!
Hey, review your video.... At 4:48 mark while digging with the pick you flipped out about a three inch octagon which is plainly visible in the pile of dirt before you cover it up....
Ashley found some incredible color! You guys have been doing some good rock-hounding. I have enjoyed the videos but, what the heck is going on with Chris? He hasn't put out a new video in like a month and I miss your bro-mance too. You guys are hilarious together. Sorry, not complaining, I'm really glad you have been able to put out videos regularly, again. I will watch and enjoy anything you put out but a Paleo/Wild Florida fossil video will always be my favorite. 😁
Ashley always finds the best stuff haha! Cris and I were actually out filming together yesterday 🙂 He's been busy with some other stuff hence the lack of videos, but we've got some coming out together very soon! ☺️
You could read books. Research it. Write about it. You can't rely on others to do something for you in life. If you're just going to wait. Then, nothing will go your way. You control your destiny. Did Albert Einstein, Teddy Roosevelt, Alan Turing, President 5-star General Supreme Commander Dwight D Eisenhower, Abraham Lincoln, President Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, George Washington, MLK, JFK, Bill Nye, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Conan (Harvard grad to show host right now) , Confucius, Socrates, Sir Issac Newton, Plato, Darwin, and Leif Erikson etc. wait for things to happen? Nope! If you want something , go get it. I mean, I love all of that. Physics, meteorology, geography, history, the whole nine yards. Don't just comment about this shit. Its just downright stupid. Figure it out dude.
Go to college and study those topics like : Geology ( mineralogy is a sub category of it) , Archaeology, Chemistry. One video isn't going to do anything bud. Now me, I'm going to college after high school to community college for my associates in nursing to then, attain both my Bachelor's and Master's degree in the same likeness. To become a pain management nurse. Whom, will make over 100k while other people will only make 45-60k.
All help would be appreciated greatly. I've only lived here for 2 years. I'm originally from southeast NC and I will say I miss all the opportunities to find cool stuff.

Right at 4:50 a nice hex fell down right on your dirt pile. I yelled "There!" and pointed to it - lol
VERY COOL FINDS!! AQUAMARINE IS MY BIRTHSTONE.
That's awesome! It's such a beautiful stone.

And keep digging...both of you Cheers !!!!!
9:24 Wow this piece is fantastic. Wonderful color💙
❤️❤️❤️
my husband and I have been there, we had a blast. found a huge barrel
So beautiful.
I'm obsessed with the beryl! Hahaha
Kyle, your casual enthusiasm and positivity are really enjoyable and your videos totally ease the stress of these chaotic times. Keep up the good work!
Mining all day is legit hard work! You found some very nice color there. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! ☺️
Besides the awesome videos, you always have the best trucker hats when you wear them!
Thanks so much Alan hahaha! I consider myself a trucker hat connoisseur!
WILD KYLE IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL!!! Haha.
So nice to watch your new style. Love it.
Just like the Beryl Pit in Ontario. Get there right after it has rained, dodge the mosquitoes, and collect lots of nice rocks.
You guys made me pray to God that Philippines specifically here where I work have parcels like yours full of gorgeous gemstones. I appreciate much for your sharing those happy inducer vids
Love!!!! Cant wait till I can make it there, too!! Must plan....
You would love it I'm sure!
Heading there in July. So excited
You found some absolutely beautiful stuff, glad you got more beryl this time. Another fabulous video!!
Thank you Jane! I told myself I wouldn't leave until I found a lot of Beryl to redeem myself from the last time I was there 😂
Pretty
Beautiful beryl! The blue is gorgeous, but it is all so unique and amazing. I received my agatized coral today, and it is lovely! Thanks, Kyle!😁💖
I can't wait to go back for more Beryl! Glad you like the coral Cynthia! It's beautiful stuff. ☺️
Go Ashley! Beautiful pieces.! Kyle that one stone was spectacular!
I LOVE the aquamarine! I can't wait to go to Hog Mine. Love your videos!
Another great video ! Keep em coming !
Thanks so much Mark! 🙂
One more place to add to my East Coast Rock & Fossil trip, date TBD. Thanks for the delicious content!
Awesome! You'll definitely enjoy yourself at Hogg Mine. Such a good place!
Those pretty
Your so lucky to get to do this
Gorgeous pieces, Kyle! I'm envious right now. Thank you for the lesson on how the cryatals were formed.
I am really wanting to checkout this place. GREAT video guys, loved it
WOW love the green-blue color! :-)
Thanks for another awesome video. I love watching them.
I appreciate you Christine. Thank you for being here. 😊

another great video, Kyle. Keep doing them. It makes a world of difference to those who can't get out.
Thank you Karen! I've always hoped my videos could be a place where people feel like they are in the adventure with me, even from their home 🙂

Had fun
Ashley always finds the really good stuff hahaha.
I knoooowwwww! 😭 Hahahhaa
@@WILDKYLE You know, those hexagons y'all found remind me of turtle scutes. If I could draw, I'd make y'all a turtle with beryl scutes.

I went in October and was so proud to find my little piece of beryl. I wasn’t finding pieces like the ones you did holy crap!!
Nice finds.❤✌👣🌲🌳
Thank you Elizabeth! 😊
こういう鉱物が手軽に手に入るところがうらやましすぎる
hi kyle!i LOVE going crystal hunting and finding pretty pretty crystals
Word Kyle found you now....let's Dance

Hahahaha yes it's crazy how living in Florida it starts to feel cold when it's 60 😂
What a pleasant comment section to browse thru.
First time ive said that with no sarcasm intended
We have a great and positive community here on this channel that's for sure ☺️

Do you tumble these rocks? How do you use them?
Another great video
Thank you Sean I appreciate it!
so, what do you do with that stuff. jewelry, etc????
Thanks for another video! What do you make with them and/or how do you display them?
I don't really make anything with them. I have displayed my favorite pieces on a shelf along with some fossils!
Cool
Ihave those much more stons aquamarine
You gotta go to Jackson's Crossroads mine in Georgia!!! Amethyst everywhere :)
I've been there a few times! Sadly they no longer allow filming there. 😩
I would love to have some of that Rose quartz
Kyle - It looked like you & Ashley an amazing & fun time! Some gorgeous stones! Do you think that you will tumble or polish any of it?
GENIAL, DE ARGENTINA , 🙋💖👍👍👍

Ill trade you some columbia basin agates for some of that aquamarine-blue beryl and/or rose quartz! The more blue and pink the better.

Does Hogg Mine allow wagons? For hauling tools and finds? How much are you allowed to take? I'm going in July and am looking for reliable info. New to rock hounding.
Yep you can bring a wagon to haul your stuff! I believe you can take as much as you want.
Nice green man
Quick question Kyle, do you cut and polish those beautiful blue specimens or leave them as is? I can imagine that lining a gorgeous Bentwood ring or Pendant.
I like to keep them as I find them, but I agree that they could make some amazing jewelry!
@@WILDKYLE They really do tell a better story about our beautiful planet the way they are. I'm glad to see you preserve that history.

Not for sale I'm sorry!
Hey, review your video.... At 4:48 mark while digging with the pick you flipped out about a three inch octagon which is plainly visible in the pile of dirt before you cover it up....
