A bit older video and a very good one at that. Good channel. Those are unripe BLACKBERRIES.... (Edit- because I called them blueberries.....typo...LOL). I live in North Georgia and forage quite often. I'm an avid gold prospector trying to learn more about rocks, gems, and minerals. Take care.
Bumping this comment - unripe blackberries! When blackberry season hits, they’re all over the place and it’s good eating! Watch out for muscadine grapes as well
It’s like Haunted Ridge South! Definitely very cool stuff there man! It’s fascinating to compare quartz. there were multiple hydrothermal events across the southeast United States. It’s crazy I can see the similarities in agate crystals and geodes from Georgia and Missouri. The different bedrock produced different formations. Very cool when you start comparing the material. If you’re ever back in Missouri I’ll have to take you to the crazy geode creek I found. It’s right by my house!!!
Lol I live right down the road from where you're hunting in this video. I have tons of beautiful spotted and lacey agates from there. The place was a much better spot around 2012. And yes, those are black berries.
I found scorpions in ga some faint gold quartz. I finally after moving to NC sble to camp ky tenn and ga agatized fossils ky some banded sunset agate my first but the corals red jasper so cool i gotta go mtns Georgia probably creeks steams great video real spectacular banding.
Yeah, wild raspberries. I had some growing on a homestead property once. They are delicious. I would suggest getting some ripe berries if u ever go back and plant.
Okay, the Borat “very nice” cracked me up! Beautiful agates!! I’m in Tennessee and usually hunt in the creeks in Kentucky, but I didn’t know there were such gorgeous agates in north Georgia! Wow! I’ll have to check out some creeks down there. Would you mind telling me what county you were in? I’m not going to find your dig spot, I promise! I like only creeks and rivers. Very nice (say in Borat voice) video! Subbed! 👍🏼
Lol very nice! This was in Chattooga County. I'll be up in NC later this week, but not gonna get a chance to hunt much lol just a relaxing trip this time with the wife and my mom. May slip over to Tennessee and hunt a couple hours lol not sure yet tho
14:50 I think those red streaks are limonite pseudomorph similar to Haunted Ridge. I’m finding that same limonite pseudomorph in some of the geodes by my house too
I have no idea. Nobody has been able to identify it yet. The guy I know that used to work there said him and the owner have seen similar pieces while digging with the machines, but nothing the size I found. Amazing find anyway. I love it.
I would love to have some of that material. All of your toss aways would look great on my shelf LOL but seriously I'll pay you if you want to collect some for me and send them my way? Maybe?
If I ever sell any, it'll be in my fb group "Rockhounds World-Wide" lol I actually posted one I cut open a while back. Haven't had too much time to mess with this material since I've been so busy with everything else 😕
Can you post a tutorial video for how you polish the Georgia agate??? I've tried so many different ways but it just falls apart in my tumblers and when I try to do it by hand. It definitely seems softer than other agate.
Hey, I just found your channel & subbed. Just happened to be searching for Georgia agate information. Any chance that quarry is public? I recently moved south & would love to get my hands on some of that material
Yeah, if you ever do a private dig I would definitely try to go, I’m over by diamond hill in SC, so Georgia isn’t too far, it only took me like an hour to get to Graves mountain
Those are blackberries I live in Dahlonega Georgia and I am fortunate to have about 20 acres to explore on and I never ran out of crystals it's amazing there's Garnet quartz I have found pieces of quartz with kyanite tourmaline and agate found a few arrowheads everyone here looks for gold but I just want the freaking quartz
Nice! I ran into one of my subscribers there once as I was driving out and said hey as I left lol they didn't realize it was me til I drove off. Maybe I'll see ya out there one day!
They Blackberries that ain't ripe. Raspberries have red hairs and no thorn on the bracks. The stuff that looks kinda like it's been in a fire. Is it really chalky and brittle? It looks like soda does when in contact with vinegar
The material is from way deep in the ground and was exposed because of an earthquake event a long time ago. That's why it's close enough to the surface to where they're hitting it
I am in the East hermitage mining district we bought 5 acres on top of Armstrong mountain and are surrounded by multiple mines ... my neighbors have also found opal

@eriksoutdoors7243 Hell yeah. Love blackberries. Maybe I'll get back up there someday and find that bush and pick em lol
Nice Vid and cool agates! I was wondering were in Georgia did you mine the agates?

Nice. Thank you! Yeah I love this place. I live like 9 hours away tho sadly. I hardly ever get up that way 😞
@Bercus could you tell us around where y’all are riding those agates? Or maybe close?
Oh I'd slab the heck out of every single one of those. Those are stunning. Just unbelievable. You Rock!
I need to get to slicing some up for sure! Lol just been going coral crazy lately! 🤪
@@DigLifeCrisis we need to do a rock trade January/February 2022!

Wow. I am in South Florida. We don't have good spots like this.
You're great fun to follow around.
Thank you. I don't post as much as I used to sadly 😞 I need to get back on it!
Great video! You do a great job showing the variety of rocks at that location.
It really is an amazing place man!
You found a treasure trove. Nice pieces.
Thanks!
Omg you're in rockhound heaven!!!
Graves mountain in NE Georgia is rockhound heaven 😀 check out my 2 videos from there lol
You got some really cool looking stuff, I cant wait to see them polished up.
Yes they're going to be epic bro!
Looks like a great hunt to me!!
Heck yeah man!
Yeah, wild raspberries. I had some growing on a homestead property once. They are delicious. I would suggest getting some ripe berries if u ever go back and plant.
I'll definitely look next time I'm in that area

@@DigLifeCrisis So, Hamilton county, right? Chattanooga! Thanks! I’ve heard there are good agates in NC! Good luck!
@@mria621 Chattooga County Georgia
That's some really nice material!! Crazy lace isn't too common in my area so it's really cool to see how it's formed!!
It's some pretty wild stuff. Love going up there when I'm in the area
😯 Wow!Those are some nice raspberries! Oh, and the agates aren't bad either. 🤣
😆🤣😂
they're blackberries 😂
@@83KJack 🤣🤣
Oh wow nice! I thought the crazy lace agate was only found in Mexico!
I've found same quality in Missouri too. Place called haunted ridge rocks. It's a public dig site
It's blackberries that have not ripened yet. I live in Rome, Ga. not far from where you are.
Thank you. I thought they looked similar to the blackberries we picked as kids
Yooo hey! I also live in rome. Have any good hunting spots?
Awesome material, this agate is crazy!! 🤪
I love it. Not crazy enough to drive for 9 hours for it but I always make sure to hit that place whenever I'm near it lol
I thought the only place there was crazy lace was mexico.Mexico.
That is nice stuff.
Thank you 😊 I've found some really nice ones there
I NEED to find this place! 😍😍

Dennis the Agate Menace!! Enjoyed the vid ! What were they mining there?? KEEP EM COMIN DOOD!!
They mine construction material there or something. Not sure really. They use it for base for building I think
those are unripe blackberries my friend... and I hope you have some bear mace 🐻 be safe!
Thank you 😊

This is actually a private business my buddy took me to. He knows the owners so he has permission.
Yeah, if you ever do a private dig I would definitely try to go, I’m over by diamond hill in SC, so Georgia isn’t too far, it only took me like an hour to get to Graves mountain
@@diggingappalachia954 nice. It's an 8 hour drive for me lol
Man does that stuff ever polish up nice, our rock club is taking a trip there soon
what a difference between north and south georgia, i have to find ANY rock of any kind where i live, its all clay and sand.
This lace stuff is from some geological event way back that pushed this material up from deep in the earth where they are mining it
Hey brother, Headed out to hunt on the 10th for a week or so. Got places you havent seen if you wanna join in.
Not in the water right? Lol water still freezing. What ya got goin on?

Nice! Always nice to have a private place like that to hunt to yourself! 😀
This is my hunting spot. I love it there.
Nice! I ran into one of my subscribers there once as I was driving out and said hey as I left lol they didn't realize it was me til I drove off. Maybe I'll see ya out there one day!
@@DigLifeCrisis That's highly possible. I live walking distance and my family and I are there often.
@@charoletterush5569 that's awesome. I wish I could go more but it's like 9 hours from me :(
@@DigLifeCrisis The best find there I've had so far is fossilized coral!
@@charoletterush5569 dang, I haven't ever found coral there :)
Who makes that pick tour using
It's an Estwing rock pick
Seems like they may be the only company that makes that style of pick
Whereabouts in GA is this?
Where is this?
I need a few pieces of this to cut and tumble
I have lots of this stuff 😀 message me on fb? My name is Dennis Singletary
@@DigLifeCrisis it me Stacey Brunson
Oh ok lol I'll have to dig some out with the lace and send some pics as soon as I get a chance :)

Thanks 😊
@@DigLifeCrisis no problem brobro...
Where is this little spot ? If it's not too top secret.
It's top secret. They would come for my family if I told
😆@@DigLifeCrisis
You did not say where this is, or anything.
If I did, the place would be overrun with people and its a private business, so I cant do that to em 😞
Those are blackberries. Not ripe yet
Nice

Where are you?

Not ripe yet. Watch and smell for bear!
