Pulling crystals out of the ground must feel so good. I remember finding some crappy sheets of quartz on a hillside once and thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Herkamer diamond mine is only 1 hour away from my house I found a 2 grand diamond and I will never forget when I found that diamond
Omg you liked it!!!
Awesome 💚
It’s 1 hour away from my house too
@@ema8909 There is no mother gaia, thats programming by polytheist gnostic mother goddess worshipping Babylonian occultists who sacrifice innocent baby's yrly on their Holy days to the earth..
YHWH the CREATOR OF ALL THINGS MATERIAL AND NON MATERIAL CREATED the earth and its not a goddess or a mother its not alive granted it teams with life by the life bringer & CREATOR MOST HIGH GOD CREATED EVERYTHING YOU SEE and don't see in the parallel unseen realm. You worship the creation not the creator, see how that ill logic irrational thinking you were indoctrinated into thinking no original thought 🤔 in that dome. There's still time to WAAAAKE UUUUP seek a wise dome and common sense in the LIVING WORD you despise at this time.
Would you recommend any Authentic Wholesalers or you are? 😊🙏🏻
So much fun!!! Blown away when you showed the reconstructed clusters! Thank you so much! Such an inspiration. I have lived Herkimer diamonds for years. I am so smiles. Biggest ones I have ever seen.
Yeah these reconstructed clusters that Buster has are wild! Thanks for hanging out
@@TheCrystalCollector cek my video citrine quart diamont cut.
I love crystals, diamonds and gemstones, I love watching people find stones, open them, clean them and show their beauty inside.
@Doglover 2021 I didn't understand your question
As a geology undergrad student, I love watching how huge some of these quartz crystals are. I have never in my life found any like this. Very nice.
My mom and I went to Herkimer approximately six years ago (I was 16). It was an amazing experience for both of us. Not including the crystals we got from the gift shop, our two days there gave us about 20 or so crystals of various sizes and weights. Not bad for 12 hours of digging! I know this video is older and I just saw this, but that's my story. We live in Vermont so the only notable mining sites we have are our marble/granite quarries.
Your videos are incredibly informative and entertaining! I could watch them all day. I love watching the full process you go through to locate, mine, and clean specimens, and your explanations are very clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much for the great content! I look forward to the next one!
This guy could walk right onto the set of 'Friends' and you wouldn't think him out of place.
I’m on mega pain killers right now, and this is the best channel when you’re feeling a bit out of this planet 🤒🙃🥶🤤 it’s like you are all delivering crystal babies.
@Jim Loftus NJ, does not have a complete ban on pain medications. Not does any state. All pain meds can only be 5-10 pills doses with one renewal for that one condition. GPS can not right scripts for certain pain medication. Surgerns can for certain surgeries and again they are limited to a certain amount of days.
Only pain management specialists, chemo therapists, and cancer surgeons, and specific condition surgeries where you are hospitalized and under the supervision of the hospital, that can prescribe class 3 pain medication. They mentioned specialists are only dispensed through a national database specifically for that specialist. No handwritten scripts are to be given to the patient for this class of pain medication. In other words, the script is sent directly to the approved pharmacy and only thorough the national database. Your surgeon made the decision not to prescribe you class 3 medication, not a ban. If you were told that, then they were misinformed or it may be a practice-wide policy. There are many different practices that have adopted a policy not to prescribe all pain medications so they can avoid the immense hassle it is for those that do prescribe class 1 or 2 pain medications. It is highly regulated and requires certain certificates and a lot of paperwork for each script written. If you have a legitimate condition requiring a class 3 drug, then your GP can send you to a pain specialist. There you will be required to have had specific tests done and a copy of your file showing a history of said condition. The patient information is reviewed and only then you may be accepted. If you're accepted, you will be subjected to periodic urine tests to check for dosage in your system and the sign for street drugs. (I work in pain specialist practice)
im in pain.
@@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230 Might as well be banned. People that need 'em sure can't get 'em anymore. It's gone too far.
✌️
Any withdraw after the fun? Lmao
So this is how it's done.
As a 16 year old this is pretty cool!
The clarity and number of crystals you are pulling out is amazing. Well done. So inspiring.
🙌💎🙏🙏💜💜💜
Mr. Crystal Collector, this is the BEST crystal finding video I've ever seen ! Thank you.. I so enjoyed it. Luved that water bubble moving around wow!
_i will watch this all day an no body can stop me._
δμsκ & Dawn haha🤣
Don’t stop me now
Don’t stop me
Cuz I’m having a good time
*HaViNg A gOod TiMe*
I'm going to ride my horse to the old town road
😂😹
waaaaat?
This was pretty awesome to see first hand how it's done. Thanks for making this video.
Your "whaaaat" is just as iconic as Owen Wilson saying "wow!"
Lmao i was thinking he sounds just like him
Herkimer's beauty and energy is insane 💜
✨✨💎💎💎💎✨✨💎💎💜💜💜💜💜
Love the video man, those were some great finds! My father and I have been digging for these crystals for almost ten years now and it's really become a bonding experience for us. Hunting for these things gets addicting.
I would buy a shirt that says "Look at that.....whaaaaat" his excitement makes me so happy
That air bubble in the liquid inclusion has to be the rarest of them all.
Yes, it’s pretty rare to have the air in the liquid, around 350 million year old stuff
@@TheCrystalCollector Do y'all sale these?
How cool is it that in the millions of years those sat there to be the first person to ever see it.
I absolutely love these things but who else at 22:00 minutes was more interested to see the dog roll around having fun? Haha :-)
Ha ha yeah! I had to rewind to have a look at the crystal! (PS: Thanks for the time stamp)
I’ve been digging there for years. Great fun, great finds.
I love Mother Nature, every crystal is Beautiful ❤️💖❤️
Absolutely beautiful. I found your channel by accident and I'm so glad I did. Thanks for sharing.
I'm learning so much from watching your videos, thanks so much for all your hard work! Sure hope to have this experience in my life time!
Thank you for watching, be sure to check out the Crystal Collector on Facebook. We are having a public dig event in Missouri in a few weeks for a Crystal location! And there will be more events, be sure to check it out and join us!
Once you see these different types of crystals, you fall in love with them ❤
Gosh I really would LOVE to go with you to one of these digs! It is absolutely amazing to see how the crystals forms and comes out of the earth. Thank you so much for the videos! I always appreciate it.
I loves going to this mine!My favorite mining tool was my tweezers!Tiny most perfect crystals I ever found!
no one:
absolutely no one:
The Crystal Collector: "WhAaAaAt"
What do u mean Emerson ? For WhAaAaAT!!???
*That "WhaAaAaT" is very Cringy*
Whaaatttt?
Whaaaaaaaat !!! You muted the video !!
✌️
Wow i couldn't imagine how joy I am when i have some diamond like that... Its totally amazing
Could make a drinking game of his "whaaaaattttt?"
Im glad i wasnt the only one thinkin that!
holy shit I understand his excitement but it's so annoying >_>
@@kavemustermann it's like he thinks its still the 90's.
Just amazing! The size and quantity of herkimer diamonds you found blew me away. I wish I was there, it looks so much fun!
Yes sometimes the pockets just get pretty wild! Makes up for the many many days of digging finding nothing, I don’t ever show that stuff, LOL, it’s just too boring, 😆
@@TheCrystalCollector Too true! Back breaking to work that table layer. There used to be boulders in the dump area that were 'easy' to split with a cold chisel, wedge, and 20lb sledge. Just pounding a few times with the hammer in the right place would induce a hairline crack. Took a few tries but once there was a crack, cold chisel would make it run and then the wedge did the rest. 10% of the time there'd be a vug exposed, with 1-5 perfect small crystals. Eventually break down the boulder to softball sized rocks and go home with 10-20 diamonds, 1/4"-2" range. I only did day trips to the Middleville mines so that worked for me. There were also mines in Fonda, 45 minutes east, which combined camping and digging. Good times with my daughters when they were young. In 1993 my daughter and I lucked into a pocket at Hickory Hill just removing dirt with a shovel. It was above the frost line so the larger ones were often fractured, but we pulled out hundreds of crystals up to 5"x7", and exhausted oversevles in 2 days so we let some others have the pocket and they took out a whole lot more. Camping was free at Hickory Hill and digging was $1.00 a day free for kids. I guess it is closed now. It was only open to the general public on the 3 holidays (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day).
It is my dreamto go crystal hunting one day, I have been collecting them since I was 12.
22:03 I am living for the fur baby rolling around in the background! 💕
The "twinned" crystal looks so beautiful. Those small stones are amazing! Great video. I love they way you explain the process as you go along. Thank you for this vid. Can't wait to see more. New subscriber.
Thanks Buster...great guy to share!
Slow motion: Haaaa..... haaa..... haaaaaaaaaaa
30fps cam trying to Slomo things😂😂😂😂😂😂
Whuuuuuuuuuttttt.... rock on you crazy Herkimer crystal wizards!
Absolutely love these videos
First time youtube recommendations were actually useful 😂
Sweeeet! I’m glad the RUclips recommendations are working out for both of us🙌👏🙏
The Crystal Collector Ik righttttt!!!! 🙏🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
as all of us I believe when very young would collect all the pretty rocks. I someway always tried to see . Know. Origin Of Crystals gemstones. Don't know how but very happy found your channel
Happy to have you hanging out! Thanks for the support 🙌
Whaaatt! Love those pieces! This is now on my bucket list!!!!
That stone that had the bubble in the water……just wow!!!
Every time he says “whaaaaat” I start dying of laughter
I have really big interest in stones and it's just so beautiful to see em all fresh from the pocket😍
About 20 years ago, herkimer diamond crystals were inexpensive. I have a couple of really nice pieces, and my husband has a couple too. I love the way they grow. And I love that they are so clear and pretty. Not long after we bought ours, the prices skyrocketed. I'm glad we were able to get ours before they were "discovered." I have heard of the Herkimer diamond mine in new York. So glad to watch your video and see how they are found. Thanks so much.
Peace&Love 8402085093
Awesome. We love watching these videos. You and your crew are amazing. Keep the videos coming!!
You should break that crystal and drink the multimillion year old water. Probably give you super powers.
Shane K Or give him dinosaur ebola
Or the squirts.
Arctic Hawk Dino Ebola, squirts vs possible T-Rex arm superpowers......👈👉???????
water would probaly have dead stuff :(
Or titanoboa venom lol
oh my gosh Herkimer is my fav crystal out there! So perfectly gorgeous!😍
22:39 "after we glue them together"
"YES, that is the definition of CLUSTER"
First you sniff the glue, then follow your vision, millions of years back in time, to know how the crystals formed together..it makes perfect sense!..Now buy them on eBay!!!
My girl said she wanted a diamond for her birthday so I took her down the road from Ace to Herkimer diamond mine and we enjoyed it. Unfortunately it burned down shortly thereafter. We never got a chance to dig but it is definitely planned in the future. Love it!
Something very similar to those are found in Michigan, in big chunks of this white chalky substance, but the diamond like chunks come out in perfect cut squares right off the rock..
Oh wow! Sounds like the mineral “fluorite” that’s amazing g
I've dug there and this is some of the toughest material to break. I can't recall tougher material. Great video, thanks.
Who ever the dude is with the goatee and long hair, you are GORGEOUS!
One of my wishes in life is to search some of those with you sir. A dream that I've always wanted. Hmmmmm....... This so awesome...
What a video! Showing the process, digging the pocket, washing the crystals and even showcasing the museum quality reconstructed Herks. Great job!
I've been digging for those a few times and found a good inch one once just laying on the ground after a rain. Really fun to do, and it's one of the only things you can dig for in NY
You can dig for Gaints in n.y. just keep your find to yourself or it will disappear
unfortunately NY is number #1 in lawsuits, I cant imagine how much liability insurance would be for letting the public dig.
That was soooo cool when it blew up it startled me....I jumped....lol...so cool I want to do this some day. Until that day.....ive enjoyed your video.....you are very knowledgeable a great teacher.
Thanks
Mary
Bravo! 👏 Very impressive, Brian! Best video you've ever produced! I really loved the format of this episode. I wouldn't be surprised if you got your own show on Discovery or NatGeo someday! Amazing job! 💎🙌👍👐
Rob Hill thanks so much! I’m taking more time with the filming and editing, hoping to make them better every time🙌
Love the diamonds! Or the crystals or whatever you call them. But to have a huge crystal ring would be nice. HAPPY PANDEMIC! Stay safe! 👽🦚💜🍀👾🍇👽🦚💜🍀👾🍇👽🦚💜🍀👾🍇👽🦚💜🍀👾🍇👽🦚💜🍀👾🍇👽🦚💜🍀👾🍇👽🦚💜🍀👾🍇👽🦚💜🍀👾🍇👽🦚💜🍀👾🍇
My favourite gem channel, Peace and love from Australia.
You can really tell that they all enjoy what they do
I REALLY LEARNED ALOT FROM THIS .
Very nice, very entertaining. God is blessing you with these crystals.
✨🙏🙌💎💜
Oh wow! This is my first out of pocket experience!
that slow mo laugh fucking brilliant, what a gem
13:27 should be a meme--
"That's wild-"
"wHaTtTtttTtt" I agree lel
I have many small and a few quarter size Herkimer diamonds I mined as a kid with my Dad. I treasure those little things to this day.
He's like the Steve Irwin of crystals
Great observation, Samantha!
Samantha Richey couldn't have said it better myself 😄
@@kylopyote6680 سلام البته من انگلیسی بلد نیستم ولی به نظرم شما فرمودید اینا کریستال هستن اگه اینا کریستال بودندبایدپس از آزمایش گرمادهی وانداختن در آب سرد خردمیشد واگرکریستال بودند چرا اونا رو سرقت کردند را یک شهرک رابرای مزدوری گرفتند چرا بارها قفل ولولای درب منزل را شکسته بودند چرا شبها پشت خانه من نگهبانی می دادند چرا لامپهای نورافکن قوی به همسایگان من داده بودند تا وقتی من چراغهارو خاموش میکردم بخاطر دوربین مخفی اونا دید داشته باشه همزمان لامپهاراروشن میکردند بعد این وزنی که من گفتم سنگ راف الماس هست نه الماس تراش خورده

Wow 🤩 much respect for you guys 👏🏽. My dad gave me crystals when I was young and now they are a big part of my life. Thank you 😊 for your hard work 😓.
love it..so fantastic guys ..more power to all of you .. "GOD BLESS "
Nossos cristais de rocha , aqui no Brasil, são totalmente cristalinos sem trinca e rachaduras. Tiramos pinos enormes. Aqui encontramos cristais, caminhando nas estradas de todo o país.
I’ve always loved rocks crystals and stuff like that and I used to have a rock collection when I was younger and I always loved the more white shiny rocks and now i really like crystals and stuff like that
Wow, Awesome!!! That so beautiful
RUclips recommendations with another banger 👍

That pocket had some great crystals. You guys rock!
Best video yet
MrAmethystguy Haha rock good pun
Can anyone go to that mine or do you gotta find someone with a claim.
MrAmethystguy literally😂😂
That's clear crystal. !! Another name rock crystals; the most powerful crystal in the world!!
Handsome, charming, rugged, manly man with a Carolina accent and a sense of humor, doing scientific 'ciphering' while digging into dirt and rock to pull out massive, gorgeous gemstones!
... WHAAAAAT!
THAT'S JUST HOT!
Best RUclips channel EVER!
BRIAN ROCKS!
Bet you find Pee Wee Herman hot as well.
Works for me!
DUDE.... YOU ARE SUCH A FANTASTIC ROCK HOUND... SOOOO COOOL....
YOU LIVE THE DREAM THAT I HAVE BUT DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO GO DO....
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO....
Makes me wanna get out & go rock hunting....hubby already laffs at me for picking thru the stone in our driveway & front yard, but I can't help myself!!
I know the feeling I've been doing that since I was little LOL
People they are called MINERALS
Same! im always looking for cool rocks everywhere i go! and yes, my bf and everyone else i know is always teasing me about it. lol. im also constantly carrying various rocks and crystals into our bedroom and forgetting them in there haha. just cause i already happen to have one in my hand, & i come into the room to grab something else. but then alot of the time ill get distracted, or start doing something else so ill set them down on the bed, wander off and forget all about it. then later on when its time for bed, suprise! (oh right, thats where i put that! hehehe) my boyfriends always finding forgotten crystals in the bed. he once told my mom.. you know your daughters a little weird, right? (she likes to sleep with rocks!) lmfao 😇😂😎
Awesome demonstration of what it really takes to do a project at the Ace
:0 i love enhydro crystals! i always mean to buy one somewhere!! amazing find:)
I found one once at Crystal Grove (a few miles from Ace of Diamonds). It was a bummer because over a year or so the water drained out / evaporated. it had a small leak somewhere :(
Good jobs 👍
Wow so cool and so beauty this amazing stone 😍
The power in the crystals would be so historic! I would love to hold one directly out of the land so I could feel the vibrations first person! 🥰
Love to see a peace pipe made from one of those.
My sister was watching this with me.
She now wants to find diamonds.
BY DIGGING IN OUR BACK YARD!
Lets be real, nobody of us searched for this
The brainwashing is real.
i was searching for crystal meth i don´t know how i got here...
dude i even had to look up what these things were
I actually did...
whaaaaaaat
Absolutely adore them. Thank u for sharing ! Very lucky!
watch out for wild parsnip there. It will ruin your summer. Poison ivy to. My daughter told the guy who manages Herkimer Diamonds about the parsnip. He didn't say a word. No reaction at all. Then left.
wow so amazing cristal clear... thanks for sharing
Oh how I wish I could live in America! Just for crystals 😍 love your videos! This is what I watch when I’m in a bad mood 😂😍
Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad they can help to cheer you up🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌💜💜
Another video most of us are watching while being up very late.
Good to know that meth isn’t the only thing Herkimer county is known for
How do you think they buy the meth..Whuuut
..
Whos to say this isnt a cover video with a secret message, showing off the new cooking recipe?! It might all be meth!
@@tatmantony ...Lol!..Whuut?😆😂🤣
it couldve been a better joke, finnaly crystal from Herkimer other than meth perhaps
Predrag Prebeg no, that sound awkward and not funny. Besides, I wasn’t trying to make a joke. I grew up in the neighboring county. I know it well.
This is a nice business. The investment in equipment, heavy machinery, storage, and transportation as well as mining permits are worth it for professional prospectors. Average folks can not afford such large scale investments. Still worth the entertainment value is there with the quirky commentary from the show host. Cheers~
Could get hammered having a beer Everytime he says whaaat like he's high
This is AMAZING to watch!!!!
Thank you =)
Hello from New Zealand
Reminds me of cape May diamonds
Pretty cool. Like the camera work its like im there. Looks like fun.📡👽🇺🇸
Mesmerizing!
