Hey Guys. Chris with Hogg Mine here! I think its safe to say Ashley kicked ass. Is that why you two big fellows made her carry that big rock? 🤣🤣🤣 Cant wait to have you guys back out again. Let me know when your coming next time and ill have that smoker going with BBQ to feed ya!
Hey Chris! We were walking back in shame after Ashley found that amazing stuff 😂. We're excited to come back and plan on it very soon! Some BBQ sounds incredible!
@@WILDKYLE Glad you had a great time and great finds. And that battle scars were totally preventable. Gloves. :P Thanks for the clean edit too. Everyone hates 4 minutes of camera bouncing around before you get to the point.
WILDKYLE and team--you rock, literally!! My sis and I, both Florida girls, are heading to the Hogg Mine next week. We have never been there and now feel we have a better idea what to expect. We are really hoping to find just a few treasures to take home. We get such a kick out of your videos and learn so much. Love your sense of humor. Thanks for the entertainment!
What awesome finds! Yes please return to Hogg Mine for more exploring in the future! That Rose Quartz is my favorite what gorgeous material you found there! Thanks for sharing Kyle! 🙂
The search for specimen pieces was exciting. I used to bring home rocks all the time and this brings back that joy. Thank You both and Kudos! Ashley (love the dance!!!)
Yep! 👍Ya gotta go back! Great finds! I wanna see your big tourmaline filled rock when its completely cleaned up! You can tell Ashley she only found that beryl & aquamarine because she's used to looking into your eyes and has grown fond of that color! So, she found it because of you! 😆lol
Long, long ago, it was all rock or otherwise mountain. Amazing to me to understand how the geologic processes have turned mountains into dirt and clay that trees and plants grow upon. Now reveal crystals off beauty. Love it! Thanks!
What a fantastic pile of gems! Yes, please do more of that as well as fossil hunting. Your mud recliner looked pretty comfortable. Glad Mr Duck could join you. Thanks for the fun!
Love your crystal hunting videos, hope y’all get to go back to these places when everything is totally open again. Also so glad Ashley took that big mama rose quartz! It was a beauty!
Go to Spruce Pine, North Carolina... You can find Emeralds, Beryl, Aquamarine, Tourmaline, Rubies, Garnets, and sapphires. You can easily pan gold from almost ANY creek, stream, or river, in that area. I was raised there. I am 67 years old and have found several ounces of gold, and dozens of Gem crystals, some, even on our property...
Yeah it's really cool when you find all those crystals love to watch it keep going I'm some Opals and other things go to different places that be cool please please take care and God bless can't wait to see what's next
@@WILDKYLE You all are very inspiring to someone just starting out( just over a month) in rockhounding. Helps me learn and see the great things I can find along the way. Again Thank you from a Northern California rockhound newbie.
I love rose quartz.keep doing your thing I love watching.im going to hog mine lol.i hit blue in blue ridge mountains.l look like blue quartz or Sapphire
That's a big deal to me too. Because that's what makes them so amazing. Also it's mysterious and sometimes a bit scientifically controversial as well. Especially when they sometimes are formed by cataclysmic meteors and such. Keep diggin!
Ya like how does this spot have like 4 diff types of beautiful rocks? I would love to know the science and history behind that. What makes rose quarts form as opposed to rubies or diamonds.
Amazing finds and so jealous of your geography. At some point can you do a video of some of the specimen you have as in the sort of museum quality finds you have gathered over the years.
Hey, Kyle, you guys found some beautiful crystals! Is the beryl more rare than the tourmaline? Ashley definitely has an eye for it! Please do visit here again! Awwww, and Duckman is a daddy...and a baby with tourmaline wings!!!
The Beryl is definitely more rare than the Tourmaline! Ashley did great finding it. I'm slightly jealous 😂. Duck Man loves his child very much hahahahaa
Wow. Nice finds! I grew up in the Atlanta area but wasn't into rockhounding back then. Started once moved to Colorado and even then didn't find any great places - found some nice small quartz points at times. But this place looks great. We live in the Daytona area so not too far of a drive to this mine now. Any others in the southeast you suggest? :)
holy.... cleaning up that piece must have been like Christmas! And careful, I'm SURE there are horror movies where bleeding on crystals can release a demon or three... ;)
This was the first mining I ever did! 1966 and it was called The Big Beryl Mine back then, I found a huge clear piece of Aquamarine as big as the end of my thumb! Unfortunately took it to school where the Teacher was supposed to watch over it but it Disappeared!! Only got to go a few times after that and now that I live 45 minutes away I Hope to be able to go again after this mess is over!
Saaweeeeeeeet clarity on some of those rose quarts, the b. tourmalines were cool(Dan's 3rd fine was near round as your finger, nice'n), but the aquamarine is my favorite(my birthstone). Best find has ta be that big matrix of yours. Did you loose your sole ? 🤣 Nother great vid/treasure hunt Kyle. 👊
Ahhh that's an awesome birthstone to have! That big matrix piece is my favorite find for sure. I want to find a matrix piece with even bigger crystals next time! Maybe I have to sacrifice my "sole" 😉😉😉
I heard from Florida. Have you been to rucks pit down near ft drum, the ft drum crystal mine I think it’s called now? Super fun place here in Florida exclusive fossilized calcite clams
Cool finds Kyle. The temp must have been sweet compared to JXR. When I was out there in May, I only found 3 pieces of Beryl crystal, but scored nicely on the rest. I might hit that site again 1 more time to give Beryl 1 more try. Did it rain heavy just before you got there?
@@WILDKYLE Did you find any BT's that were complete crystals (terminated with no breaks)? If not, then the next question to ask is why were they all broken up? I just love the mineral kingdom because it makes me ask all of these questions about why something is the way that it is (what geologic forces occurred that made these BT's not very big and most of them broken).
Do you pay to dig these places? And if so I need info! I want to plan a trip to a bunch of different places you guys have been to you your videos. I've also learned so much about crystals from your videos!
We do pay! They are only open at certain times so I would go to their Facebook pages to look at the scheduled digs. This one is Hogg Mine in Lagrange, Georgia and we dig Amethyst at Jackson's Crossroads Amethyst Mine in Tignall, Georgia!
@@WILDKYLE a plastic 5 gallon bucket of water would be cool to wash off things. After seeing that cool one with so much I thought about what you left behind. Looks like there is water there, use a cup to fill up bucket and keep it where you work. Think of the things you will find and use the bucket to haul shit out later.

Constant summer, I'd be happy. Im freezing my ass here in Canada, keep up the good videos, love them all 👌
I definitely embrace the warmth!
Yep! 👍Ya gotta go back! Great finds! I wanna see your big tourmaline filled rock when its completely cleaned up!

Wow! You all cleaned up on that site and some excellent finds! You all need to hit that again! Take care & H.H.!
Planning on heading back for sure! It's a great site!
I luv watchin ur guys videos!!!!
Thank you Amanda! ☺
Yw, Kyle
Thought this mine was closed. Visited there a decade ago, came away with 20 pounds of great rose quartz. Glad to see it is open again.
I’m a lapidary and a lot of what I collected was facet grade material.
Long, long ago, it was all rock or otherwise mountain. Amazing to me to understand how the geologic processes have turned mountains into dirt and clay that trees and plants grow upon. Now reveal crystals off beauty. Love it! Thanks!
The story behind these gems and minerals is absolutely incredible and a HUGE part of why I do this. It is all so humbling. ❤
What a fantastic pile of gems! Yes, please do more of that as well as fossil hunting. Your mud recliner looked pretty comfortable. Glad Mr Duck could join you. Thanks for the fun!
Thank you Gwynn! Lots more of this and fossils planned for sure... and lots of Duck Man 😂😂😂
Can you make a video of you guys hunting for fossils on the coast, great video by the way 🖒🖒🖒
Oh Yes right up my ally now. I love gemology. And or gem prospecting. Great finds!!!
This stuff has been growing on me a LOT lately! Thanks for watching ✌
@@WILDKYLE yeah I have been doing this kind of stuff ever since I was a kid and I am 50 years old now so probably close to 40 years or so.
Great video! So funny that Chris called you out on doing this long before viewers. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure with you!
Bahaaaaa 😂 Thanks so much for watching!
You should definitely go back! Great finds love the black tourmaline, rose quartz and the aquamarine! Thanks for sharing Kyle.
Thanks Thayne! I gotta go back and find myself a huge Beryl 😂😂😂

Love your crystal hunting videos, hope y’all get to go back to these places when everything is totally open again. Also so glad Ashley took that big mama rose quartz! It was a beauty!

@@WILDKYLE Probably late-April through mid October...

You guys are by far my favorite RUclipsrs! Whenever you guys make your videos it brightens my day! 🦈🐚🦖🦕

Awesome love crystals , awesome finds ❤️
Thanks Paige! 😊
I enjoy going to Guthrie Oklahoma and find rose rocks
Great finds keep up the great work
Thank you Trevor!
Awesome video! Wish I could teleport myself across the ocean to join y'all!
We might have teleportation devices in the near future the way technology is growing! 😂
@@WILDKYLE Oh I wish! I'd teleport over to Florida all the time!
Would love to see you return to Hogg mine!
We are gonna do it ASAP!
I would love for you to explain how the different crystals are formed as you're finding them.
That's a big deal to me too. Because that's what makes them so amazing. Also it's mysterious and sometimes a bit scientifically controversial as well. Especially when they sometimes are formed by cataclysmic meteors and such. Keep diggin!

Amazing finds and so jealous of your geography. At some point can you do a video of some of the specimen you have as in the sort of museum quality finds you have gathered over the years.
I think I might make that part of my 10,000 Subscriber video when I hit it!
It’s my fave find too! 🤩
🙌🙌🙌
You MUST go back again! Find some more aquamarine!
That's my goal for next time!!!
Very nice Video.☺️ you are the best RUclipsr ever ❤️❤️❤️❗️❗️❗️
Thanks for watching Maxi 😄😄😄
Thanks for the Heart

What amazing finds!!
Yes more please !!!!!!!
Wow. Nice finds! I grew up in the Atlanta area but wasn't into rockhounding back then.

We live in the Daytona area so not too far of a drive to this mine now. Any others in the southeast you suggest? :)
Great work 👍
Thank you Dan!
holy.... cleaning up that piece must have been like Christmas!
And careful, I'm SURE there are horror movies where bleeding on crystals can release a demon or three... ;)
Hahahaa didn't think about that! Scary 👻👹😈💀👽
My brand new favorite..
This was the first mining I ever did! 1966 and it was called The Big Beryl Mine back then, I found a huge clear piece of Aquamarine as big as the end of my thumb! Unfortunately took it to school where the Teacher was supposed to watch over it but it Disappeared!! Only got to go a few times after that and now that I live 45 minutes away I Hope to be able to go again after this mess is over!
Y ou helped me identify a 20 lb piece of Rose Quartz my husband gave me! It looks just like the big one Ashlee found!
That is awesome! I bet you were super excited for that. Sounds like a great gift! 😊
My birthstone is tourmaline! Wow!
Saaweeeeeeeet clarity on some of those rose quarts, the b. tourmalines were cool(Dan's 3rd fine was near round as your finger, nice'n), but the aquamarine is my favorite(my birthstone). Best find has ta be that big matrix of yours. Did you loose your sole ? 🤣 Nother great vid/treasure hunt Kyle. 👊
Ahhh that's an awesome birthstone to have! That big matrix piece is my favorite find for sure. I want to find a matrix piece with even bigger crystals next time! Maybe I have to sacrifice my "sole" 😉😉😉
Cool spot !
We're hoping to go back very soon!
I Love Crystals !!!!
Sweeeet finds guys!
Thank you!
I need freins lmao it would be really cool to see a duck man in my parts!!
Where going back love to see more cool stuff
とても楽しそうな鉱物採集。仲間がたくさんいるのがうらやましいです
I heard from Florida. Have you been to rucks pit down near ft drum, the ft drum crystal mine I think it’s called now? Super fun place here in Florida exclusive fossilized calcite clams
Wish we could find crystals by mining in the uk 😍
Rock solid video bro......😆
Thank you brother 😂😂😂
Check those crystals out with Chris's black light! You will be surprised!
I wrote that before I saw the spray bottle hahaha
We're planning on going when visiting family in AL. Did you all do the public day or a guided private day? Loved the video!!!
Good
✌✌✌
I need big tourmaline..... 15 carats maybe.. How much. And where i can buy
Cool finds Kyle. The temp must have been sweet compared to JXR. When I was out there in May, I only found 3 pieces of Beryl crystal, but scored nicely on the rest. I might hit that site again 1 more time to give Beryl 1 more try. Did it rain heavy just before you got there?
It did rain just before we got there! The weather was absolutely incredible. I didn't feel uncomfortable all day!
Morning kyle
9:37 wait... duckman had a child?
He did 😂😂😂
@@WILDKYLE Must've hatched from a Thunder Egg! (But Kyle, we all want to know who the mama was!)
There should be beryl everywhere at that site.
It seemed to be pretty hard to come by!
Awesome!! Love this location. You guys should definitely go back!
Also pretty sure Ashley is the best fossil/crystal Hunter 😂😂
I think you're right 😂😂😂 Ashley rules!
@@WILDKYLE out there making you boys look weak 🤷🤷
so you can actually take them to your selves? do you pay for them?
Ouchy obsessed is never a bad thing got do what u love and hunting for crystal is awesome keep doing it :)and ware gloves cause cuts are not fun ouchy
Nice
I found it interesting that the black tourmaline pieces were so small. I wonder why that is at this mine.
They are just broken up for some reason!
@@WILDKYLE Did you find any BT's that were complete crystals (terminated with no breaks)? If not, then the next question to ask is why were they all broken up? I just love the mineral kingdom because it makes me ask all of these questions about why something is the way that it is (what geologic forces occurred that made these BT's not very big and most of them broken).
6:09 After that, I wouldn't let you into my car🤨... 😄
Hahahaa I don't blame you 😂
Want more videos on quartz
Will do!
Load up that huge rose quartz for me, will ya? ;)
I can do that 😂
Ok question(s) do you only pay for the entry or do you pay for your loot upon leaving also? And did you rent the tools or bring your own?
Do you pay to dig these places? And if so I need info! I want to plan a trip to a bunch of different places you guys have been to you your videos. I've also learned so much about crystals from your videos!
We do pay! They are only open at certain times so I would go to their Facebook pages to look at the scheduled digs. This one is Hogg Mine in Lagrange, Georgia and we dig Amethyst at Jackson's Crossroads Amethyst Mine in Tignall, Georgia!
@@WILDKYLE jacksons crossroads is definitely on the list! I will check them out, thank you!
Is it common to find a barrel in aqua marine? I am assuming is a quartz formation? Lol I am made of questions right now 😂
The correct spelling is beryl
@@19gregske55 oh ok, thanks
Please go back
We shall!!!
All we have to do here in Georgia to find quartz is go in a spot of our yard where there is no grass.
Where is you sifter? Use a sifter and a spray bottle of water. After sifting spray with water and the crystals will jump out and bite you face.
We talked about possibly bringing a sifter for next time!
@@WILDKYLE a plastic 5 gallon bucket of water would be cool to wash off things. After seeing that cool one with so much I thought about what you left behind. Looks like there is water there, use a cup to fill up bucket and keep it where you work. Think of the things you will find and use the bucket to haul shit out later.
