Tracie and I wanted to thank all of you who support us! we also want to thank our production crew! Danny & Crew, the Bluestar Crew for the incredible hard work they put in to the project! ROCKIN A LIFESTYLE! Proud of you ALL!
How would I inquire about working with the crew?
i have been watching you guys for a couple yrs now please let me go look up there with you guys 1 day im a super noob but looks awesome
thank you for sharing it with us just wish there was more episodes and longer but thank you
Hope to see the show back next year!
I came to your shop January it was a pleasure too meet the both of you! I'm still wearing my necklace that I bought!! You guys are amazing can't wait to visit again. Goodluck with the next season!
The best family show by far. A group of people working hard, making sacrifices and chasing their dreams. Thanks for taking us along.
Chasing dreams just having a monopoly threw his rich father everyday people work harder in twelve hours for scratch than he ever has thru Daddy I notice all they glory is his Bullshit
Oh my god more of a family taking credit of being born rich arrogant probably can’t wipe his ass and never will
This producton was so good I thought it was a Netflix show
That would be because its not overproduced, click-bait, or excessively repeated footage. Isnt it wonderful?!
Can't wait for next season hopefully there's a third in the works
Loved watching seasons 1&2, hopefully a season 3 is around the corner. Amazing job you guys all do. Fingers crossed next season is even better for you x
I love watching your videos. Aquamarine is my birthstone. Im in California I've beed crystal mining few times. This tho is on another level.
Can't wait to see season 3.
Craig, you're doing it right! You often reflect back and mention how your Grandad worked hard to get this all started, his initial efforts were paramount in a family legacy that continues to this day. Imagine if you will his enjoyment knowing you are continuing that lineage and passing it down to the next generation. It speaks well of you that you are not simply harvesting the material and focusing on the profit margin. We all know that Mt Antero Aqua is the standard by which the rest of the gem world measures by, but riches can come from more than just money. I envoy you sir.. not only in the awesome finds, but also in handing down a lasting heritage that will be well documented and remembered for a long time to come.. you're doing it right! Take care, Woody.
Woody! That was the greatest compliment anyone had ever gave me. Thank you for the comment. My family past efforts keep me humble, grateful and grounded. Thank you again Woody.
I have huge respect for the way y’all are harvesting those beautiful crystals. The fact that you are not leveling the mountain with shake charge the way most people would approach getting to the treasure is beautiful. Y’all have respect for the land and are keeping it that way!!! I truly believe that is why your experiencing great rewards! Your love and passion shine as bright as those crystals. Thanks for your respect of Gods creations and keeping beautiful land beautiful. I enjoy watching your success and it’s great to see how you have maintained your humbleness!!!!
Thank you Patrick. That means allot to our family! Thank you so much for supporting us. That's the treasure! Fans like you! Thanks again!
Came here after watching DALLMYD, and had wished i saw his channel earlier! These vids are treasures! Its my dream to mine crystals.. i wanna experience that.
I've loved watching your seasons, it's incredible to see all the hard work that goes into it.
I'd never find a single aqua though simply because I'd forever be looking at that breathtaking view off the mountain.
Omg I live in Colorado and I’m obsessed with crystals and crystal hounding. This show is amazing and the quality of the crystals is amazing😍
Got so excited for this episodes. Dropped everything to sit down and watch. My favorite show by far
Great show and finds! Looking forward to seeing more content. Good luck this season...👊
Every pocket is amazing. Its so awesome finding minerals!
Although I like these when they come out.... I sort of hope for more. It seems like this entire episode was just close-ups of pulling stones out of the oatmeal. Can we get more info on the miners, the selling process, the cutting process... maybe even more about this history of the mountain? Can we have a tour of the specimen collection?
Yess I agree
Omg please never stop making these.
Oh noo Still so long to wait :/
How about you throw a video or two in the months between how everyone is? Maybe a bit of the shop and processing of the gems?
Absolutely love what you guys have going here! I wanna go prospecting here in colorado once the snow clears up. I'm very eager to learn the ways! Stay safe and thank you for sharing your experiences with us all.
Emma’s pocket!.. mom and Pops gotta get you back out there ASAP! The look on your face was priceless 😁... You hit it big. Mom and pops are rockin! Way to go team cardwell. I see all your hard work 💯 diggin the vibes❤️
Just came across this series, and I've thoroughly enjoyed it! I recall seeing you all on Prospectors back when we had cable, and I loved watching then. But this has been wonderful. It really seems like you all run a top notch, caring business!
I like how you give reasonable prices instead of super ridiculous appraisals that are bogus
Great video! Really informative.
Great music!
Love this channel! The landscape is so unique and refreshing.
Such a beautiful project!. WOOOOOOOOO!
Way to go guys! Congratulations on the great year. I cant wait to see more of that blue. Absolutely beautiful
I would love to go prospecting there. I hope that you thank the mountains and mumma Gaia and your forefathers and mothers for the gifts given to you. My mum's name was Beryl I've been trying to find some but have only found morganite. Stay blessed.
To a guy stuck in gem-less Minnesota, this show is the next best thing to finding it; what a dream to be the one to pull aquas from the ground. Looks like hard work but a blessed life, thanks for sharing and don't stop making these videos!
Minnesota has some of the most gorgeous agates in the world!
@@canadiangemstones7636 We do have some great Superior agates, however, my primary love has always been crystals and a couple other things. I also have many of these agates and precious few of those crystals I prize - I prefer to find them, not buy them since I enjoy the thrill of the hunt!
Just beautiful!
Those round snow pellets are called grauple
Hey Mike Great Video. It was good to meet you. Hope you enjoyed your trip!
Its nice to see mining in my old stomping grounds......I grew up and lived in Poncha Springs my whole life....In Az now.....no more shoveling snow and being cold! Thx Folks!
Back in the mod 1970's a mining engineering prof at CSM named C. O. Frush mentioned beryllium deposits high up on Mt Antero. I never thought of it again until I saw this video
Hey Chip. My father and Charles Frush were great friends and he helped our family with countless geological reports and field work efforts. Would love to speak with you more if you have time. My email is craig.cardwell@gemclay.com
I love this stuff. I own a blue opal claim in Idaho and i would give that up just to move to Colorado and pull some aqua with you guys. Gotta try to get there by next season haha.
Thank you
fave series
this is incredible . im inspired. ty
There needs to be more episodes! I wanna see moreeee!
Awesome !
Really though why are you guys not on Netflix. Fursure would be a hit. It is very good production 👏
I agree... it was easily as good as any Netflix documentary
Hello 👋. How are you doing today..
@@ericksonwall7369
Good thanks. Been a while since I commented on this video.
@@ruthiematteson6827 yeah. Nice meeting you. Where do you live. I live in Atlanta and you
@@ericksonwall7369 Rhode Island
@@ruthiematteson6827 I have to say you have a beautiful smile and a lovely name
Congratulations on your record setting year I hope next year is even better
This is like crystal pimple popping to me
Fantastic end to the season.
I really hope you document more and put it up here on youtube in the future.
All the best guys.
There is no waste. I love that there are multiple businesses created just from the extraction of aquamarine. I am watching & its inspiring. Ideas on what could be done with the leftover material is really limitless.
Looks like your still getting some good ones off the mountain.
Hello 👋. How are you doing today..
You guys ever thought about trying to bring back a prospectors type show like the one that was on the weather channel?
Seems like that is what they are doing.
Looking back at the path up the mountain shows all the hard work and progress you've made. Congratulations on the great season!
Wishing you all the best in 2021.
Stay safe and stay well.
See you on the mountain...
Be sure to keep Danny and Crew. Fantastic movie work and content. Hope y'all make some showing more of the what goes on after the weather shuts you off the mountain.
You are the luckiest people I know, I could dig all day, everyday and I don't even have gemstones where I live so I can only imagine the draw here. Such excitement and I love how the Snow Patch and North face have given such success.
Awesomeness! 😀
Set the reminder and looking forward to the show.
Man you’ve got a good team!
Nice season
Bon travail et trés jolie aquamarine
great season. I would love to get into prospecting. Are you guys offering any tours or mentoring?
Omg so cool one day I don't know when but I will be up their and buy a good peace of gem from u guys from your shop and hopefully meet you guys
Let’s go!!! New episode!!!
Cool! I experienced this once 😊💎 magical
So awesome Shannon! 😊
Tracie’s the good luck charm
She sure is! Amazing wife and a tuff boss! hahahaha!
This is AHHHHMAZING!! ❣️✨Love the VIBES✨✨SUBSCRIBED❣️✨
That was awesome thanks for sharing.😁❤️ And blue is literally my favorite color.💙💙💙
love the videos
This is like Dog, the gem hunter! 🙂😆
Yes! I’ve been waiting 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕
i used to camp at hancock lakes at the base of mt. antero
Great show, thank you
How long does it take a crew member to acclimate to the altitude? It really can be a painstaking job. The decomposing rock really can hide pieces of the Aqua. Like me, I'm sure there are others screaming to the right! You missed one! lol.
That's a great Question! about a week
There are some folks that can never adjust to it tho. I lived out In Colorado and spent a lot of time in the 14ers out there and it can be rough on some folks and others can adjust in a week or less
I really love this show!!!
Looking forward!
Awesome awesome wow fantastic score of aquamarine beautiful more knowledge sweet awesome crew what a way to end the season thank you for sharing this adventure
Can't wait to see that blue
Gemmy!
Anybody else get so giddy when a new video comes out?! I love your guys series!
Essa galera estão milionários já
Nice lodi
2021 baby blue!
it seems a PRESSURE WASHER would make sense. The (heated) water could MELT THE ICE. Separate the sandy gravel from the stones. IF YOU CAN GET EXCAVATORS UP THERE, what's a few water trucks for the sprayers ?????
Top
I'm a broken record by now, but great job. No drama, great leadership, showing trust, fantastic job of a healthy work environment. Please show us the after season reels of screening back at the warehouse, fun to see what is sitting in the tailings!
Do you guys replace and fill in the pockets after you are done?
Love watching y’all. Congratulations on a fantastic season. Would love to try it one day.
I love aquamarine had a few pieces made with aquamarines
This channels NEED more MOre subscribers. I LOVED IT. it was a lovely season. Waiting for the next
I want to eat the crystals lol. They look like the ultimate blue flavor candy.
So wish I was there diggin with U guys
Hello 👋. How are you doing today..
@@ericksonwall7369 Great but rather be Hunting
Nice meeting you. Where do you live. I live in Atlanta. And you
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this series. Sad it’s so short mind. Well done to you all. Take care and catch you on the next one 🙌🙌🙏🏻
Hello 👋. How are you doing today..
mantappp
Can’t wait😂👍👍👍💎💎💎
100,000 carats is no joke! Hopefully it's all high quality stuff
Would love to know when you will start showing your 2021 videos?
👏👏
Wow
is the whole mountain privately owned or are there places anyone can go look
Love to see that palm full of the blue, incredible ...@19:08...wow!
💙💙💙
I'm curious about how bad the conditions get on this mountain that prevent working year round. I would imagine if they could devise a way to do that it would be incredibly profitable.
Frozen solid for 9 months out of the year! HARSH sub zero condition in the winter. Great question!!
I am dying and faced with hard hard decisions I drove to mountians to think. I made fun of a guy for getting mad cuz of all the cars at a 4 way stop and I m sorry I think that's childish I laughed hard and then he followed me for an hour I finally lost him turning on dirt paths off roading. I found rubies cuz I ended up a river bed all dried up. I had a friend with me because it was intense it was crazy. I also found an antique cup made from a 6,000 year old giant clamshell. One the most beautiful days ive ever had. I try hard to find it and I havent found it.
music is too loud when it plays
fan from the Philippines!
