  • Great gemstone hunt with some great friends. Cyle, Pauly and myself spend a day digging at one of my private gemstone claims. and after a slow start we hit it big with some amazing finds. These are some of the best geodes I have seen come from the area.

    There was an amethyst vein out behind my grandmother's farm. When I was a kid, I'd walk through her fields after they plowed and just pick it up off the ground. Big crystals, too. Miss you, grandma.

      Nice. As kids, we walked the fields on my grandparents farm, behind a tractor, puttng the rocks on a wagon, of a ton of rocks, might find a nice looking rock or two, your grandma's place would have been way more fun. Hope you still have a few.

    I recently realized I wanted to go back to college for geology and eventually make fine jewelry with stones and do soil samples. Your channel was the first one that popped up. I love your energy! Your videos feel as if you are showing a friend around and sharing geology facts of the day is one of my favorite parts of your videos. You are enthusiastic and have great vibes. I am a new immigrant to Canada and Canada is a beautiful country. Thank you for sharing the beauty.

    I don’t collect geodes. I don’t collect crystals. I have a minor interest in geology. But I found this fascinating and watched to the end. Every video Dan puts out I watch because I learn something - or he cheers me up. I find Dan absolutely delightful. He’s the brother you want so you can ship your offspring off to Uncle Dan for adventures. Good on you Dan, yer bloods worth bottling. 😊😊😊 shining the lights on them was like shining a light on a potato and finding it was supernatural….

    I live on the Eagle River in Malakwa B.C. I find all kinds of geodes and agates, but no good tools to expose what's inside them. I just collect what I can and hope one day I'll get a buddy to help me with some real tools. Great site! 😁

I'm batteling a bunch of medical problems so laying in bed watching and learning from you brings me an escape and great joy. Medical bills keep me from buying a momento from your store at this time, but I am setting aside a little bit each month so I will be able to get a momento from your site. As a bonus to my year, I was honored too see you one day in your truck at Lynden. It has been the highlight of my year, Keep up the FUNTASTIC job!! And again, I THANK YOU !! : )

    Found some beautiful veins of amy a couple days ago walking the river here in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I was visiting my brother in Fintry a few weeks ago and just missed the fair in Rock Creek! I did get a chance to head out into the bush just south of the Barnes placer area but had to turn back at a waterfall before reaching Barnes Creek. I panned around Cherryville, Kettle and the goat in Creston. Lots of pits filled, fill your holes people.

    Dan,
    I saw the mineral collection at the Museum of Natural History in New York City, many moons ago.
    Nature's minerals and gems are amazing.
    What's more amazing is the way they were formed and the Geology it took to create them.
    Thank you Professor for enlightening us:)
    Cheers,

    but if they would ASK there may be a chance you might let them explore for a time... It's all about RESPECT for another man's property.... Great video as always Dan.!!! Also, HI PAULY & friends.!!!

    it's actually the Basalt that is abigloydial and the agates and other things form inside of the pockets. you get geodes, solid quartz filled, and lots more only depending on the minerals present. The ones i get from lake superior can have chlorite, feldspar, copper, silver, chalcedony, chrscolla, epodite or even crazy mixes of any of that. Chlorastrolite (greenstone), the state gemstone is something that froms in the Basalt ambigloyds. I was wondering if you get any included metals like we do?
    Also ours come out generally very round and it's still called abigloydial. Also i'm sure i misspelled several things in this post.
