My son went panning for garnets with his grandmother, my mom, about 22 years ago. He ended up making me beautiful jewelry using wire and tiny jewelry tools. I love your video ❤
Nice! When I was a teenager living in Pr. Rupert, my dad brought home a whole pile of garnets he found while collecting oysters on the beach. He got me interested in rock collecting, finding agates near Monte Lake. All your videos are so educational and enjoyable.
Ditto! But since garnets that small, and in the rough are not crazy expensive, I'll take 5lbs......and no refrigeration needed! (Just a warning sign "Do Not Eat" for the guests!)
Good news it is very easy to do this, I went to a store in my area that sells garnet sand for sandblasting and found some that is very red and beautiful for a good price. I was able to get 50lbs for under 100$. I will be putting a tank together today with no fish or plants for testing just to see what it does with the PH balance and more, If anyone wants the feedback on this I will post the results here.
I bought many amethyst, blue topaz, lapis, aventurine and pink quartz 36” bead strings from the jewelry district downtown for $80. I soaked and stirred them in tap water before placing in my aquarium. I then bought some larger pieces of amethyst to place in the aquarium and the Clown Loaches loves to play with them by moving them around like balls.
We used to find tons of almandine garnets while gold panning in Vermont. I used to save all the big ones but stopped after accumulating a gallon freezer bag full. Some of them were pretty big, nearing walnut sized. Same as in your area though, all the big ones were so dark they looked black. The tiny ones and fragments were a great red color though. Those hardrock specimens you got at the end are awesome!
I just got done panning out some garnet sand from the Baltic sea and I absolutely love how it turned out. The material from the area typically doesn't have too many bigger garnets in there but that doesn't bother me too much. Cool thing about the sand from there is that there are (small) chances of gold, platinum and other gems like zirconia to be found there. Also, this was actually the first time I've ever successfully panned something! I've tried before once but didn't know at all what I was doing. After watching your videos for a while, looking closely at what you're doing while you're panning and thinking a littl about the theory behind it, it finally worked for me!
Excellent comment! As a child and young adult I did a bit of fishing, mostly pond and riverbank. Now I have lived in Washington state, USA for many years and have never fished here. I am hoping to learn enough to go lake fishing this summer. I have never used roe, mostly just red wiggler worms.
@@lilolmecj Stream fishing is more fun (in my opinion). Some of the small creeks have some big fish. I used to go to the pet food store and get a bunch of crickets. I'd get up to the creek I wanted to fish and bring a pole or just some line and hooks, no weights. I'd cut a willow pole about 8 to 10 feet long and tie about twelve feet of line with a hook at the end. You get above a hole that looks good and float A cricket down into the hole and you don't want to let your shadow hit the water. When your cricket gets to the hole if he's paying attention, the boss fish will be the first to hit it and they hit hard. Then you go down to the next hole. I understand that this is kinda primitive way to fish, but its fun and it presents the bait to the fish in a more natural way. In some areas the fish are skittish and won't hit anything, but they'll hit this way. Anyway, have fun and I hope you might try my way. BTW, my way is legal in Washington state. Good luck
Same, but over the years I now have a routine of putting the good ones back, or moving them into an area where small kids are, spreading the love of rock hounding to another lifetime, another generation. I recently downsized, and now carry the core specimens from a lifetime collection, gave away the rest. I plan to rock hound for the rest of my life, just not room in the rv to keep everything anymore 😂

Garnets vary depending on the quality. A 1-carat garnet with inclusions could cost around $500 while a cleaner garnet with a more rare colour could cost between $2,000 and $7,000 per carat. More rare garnets, like demantoid and tsavorite, will cost more.
theres a beach near me called ruby bay, its an ancient vent for the dead volcano edinburgh castle sits on. you can find garnets if you look hard enough
I think I’ve seen a vid abt searching for gems there- was on a channel abt a mother daughter duo that go gem/fossil hunting & picking thru Victorian-ish era trash dump, usually… their vids look really fun. Lots of things to find in that area! IIRC(?) they’re called the northern mudlarks
As a biologist, I kind of approve of those rules for taking material out. That does seem like it would protect the river from the more unscrupulous greedy people. That said, I'm also one culprit for your depleting garnet supply. I think I should get my order in just a day or two. Cheers from Finland! (We also have garnets here, but I just loved the look of yours.) :D
Dan,thank you for sharing the difference between mines.I didn't know,and live in Gold country.I want to find rocks in our creeks,not gold,so this helps me in talking with the local companies that have claims on the river.I hope they will let me get the tiny amount of rocks that I am interested in.
Dan, I love to watch you & your family gold & gem mining. My grandfather was a lapidary back in the 20's & 30's,40's I dint get to learn much from him because he lived un CAL. , I lived in Washington. I have loved watching & listening to you easily explain & show how this mining is all done. I love the scenery, I LOVE the geology lessons, and I haven't figured out if it's the stunning Ocean Blue stones or the gold, that I love most. Thank you for all of your videos !!
Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: I like to fill tiny baubles with garnets, Montana sapphires, or peridot and make jewelry from that! So fun and colorful!
My birthstone is Garnet and I think it would be awesome to be able to pan for some. Of course that is impossible here in Texas. Thank you for sharing Dan ❤
Interesting, but on my parents' property on Eagle Creek in Oregon. I strangely enough get more big gold flakes mixed with green garnets. I almost thought they were peridot but I took them into a jeweler and they told me it was a garnet. But they seem to be the same color as a Peridot.🤷♂️✌👌
I really appreciate you detailing what the rules are and how you're following them - I often worry when buying a gem how much natural beauty may be being destroyed to find it, and I know if I buy from you exactly how it was harvested and that you're doing what you can to preserve the beauty around you as well.
Only place I've ever been where you could literally scoop up small garnets was near Mount Frosty mine, Mount Isa, Queensland. Garnets were embedded in schist host rock along with Staurolite crystals. We used to look for the crossed crystals (Maltese crosses) and multiply crossed crystals (Fairy cartwheels) there. Almost all the small garnet crystals were perfectly formed. Never found any larger than 2mm in diameter though. There were supposedly other nearby areas where larger garnets could be found but the country was truly rugged and only way in was trekking miles on foot in a very arid environment.
🌸 I love garnets, I have my nana’s necklace & earrings I used to think it was ruby, mom explained it’s garnet It was first time I ever saw it, and it was such a rich vibrant red ❤
Im a rockhound and love geology.... It is sort of why i love living around volcanic areas...there so much to see and get into geology wise.. Have you done a video to tell how garnets are made and formed?? You may have, i dont recall, seen a whole lot of videos.
I have always loved your garnet videos, it's awesome to see you panning for these . I have panned out garnets for few years now. I did craft a sieve but, unfortunately there are no known localities for any gemstones in Estonia, so everytime I go prospecting, I'm kind a looking for everything. Oh I wish I'd find a spot where garnets are laying around like caviar, not hiding in rivers, and inside tough mica shist/quartz kind of matrixes:D . I craft jewelry like you mention 06:30(inlay rings, epoxy and glow powders) - I took it as a mission to find craft worthy materials here in Estonia. I knew it's not an easy task but learning from the best ;P, I have had a more interesting journey that I did expect. No gold yet but calcite, all kinds of quartz, garnets and pyrite everywhere. Not giving up on gold either, one day, I'll find just a single spec to prove them all wrong :D
The spiral bowl reminded me of going to the dentist years ago.... 😁 Beautiful colors in those garnets--- liked seeing this video. Still love the gold, but garnets are just beautiful.
Garnet is my birthstone! I just discovered your channel and subscribed fast; I love your energy! I live in the PNW and have always been fascinated by nature; it’s always nice to find someone sharing knowledge while doing what they’re passionate about!
Dan, if you want Garnett's, I have many, 10% of them just smaller then a marble. All of them as big as a pencil eraser. I can get pounds of them if you are interested.
And it's just like when you're hunting for mushrooms. You don't find THEM... They SHOW themselves to you! You kind of just skim your eyes over the surface of the area you're panning and before you know it... YOU'RE A PRO!!🏆🥇
My birthstone is Garnet so this video caught my eye... They are so pretty... keep your diamonds, emeralds and sapphires, give my Garnets.. I have a bunch of small ones that I panned at my uncle's Gold Mine when I was about 9 or 10. Was excited that I found them. Enjoyed this video.. I just down in Seattle, I need to come up to Garnet Beach.. :)
I bought some garnets from you for my rock collection. The single large garnet you sent me was huge! What size is the biggest garnet you ever found so far? This is so much fun! Thanks Dan! ❤
Dan, I've been a sub for awhile now, really enjoy all your videos, I'm a rock, gem, mineral hound, I'm newish at it, have panned gold here and there, I live in Northern Colorado, I pack into the back country on my horses, camp and then do my thing, I'm growing, getting a new tumbler and my first rock saw, wish me luck....keep up all your interesting adventures 🎉🎉❤❤
I have a demon head shaped bottle I bought at Halloween last year, and every time I see one of Dan's garnet videos, I think about how cool that bottle would look filed with garnet sand. Or gemstone sand of any kind.
I live on two acres of garnets and mica with a creek full of them. Mostly small, but some large ones on land next door up to an inch and a quarter in diameter. I have a tube full of them. Was a large mica mine next door that belonged to Sangamo Electric CO. I did know where there was a mine full of green garnets on Eastatoee River in Pickens County, SC.
That's like panning here in north Idaho along the St. Joe river and St. Maries rivers(where Buzzard Massie got started). I think I could support the sandpaper business in an afternoon....lol
"Ruby Gap Gorge" in the Northern Territory, Australia, has garnets everywhere. I took some home to Melbourne with me. If you ever get to Aus, I recommend it.
Good morning, Mr. Sayed Al-Dahab in Al-Anhar, you are truly a professional, and what you present is interesting and motivating. I follow you from Morocco, and I really hope to get equipment like the ones you have, such as the frying pan, the sieve, and then the rotating fryer, which makes the work easier.
@@Danhurd ... That's out here on the Trinity River in north California, we used to dredge on it back when that was legal. I never kept any of the garnets but we used to get some good gemmy little ones, like these but darker red.
If I stumbled on a strip of beach made entirely of garnet granules, like the screenshot suggests, I'd probably put up a 'CLOSED' sign in the nearest parking lot and then return with a shovel and a bucket! Yee-haw!
I'm down the line from you, Upper Northern California along the Sacramento River - we've been finding some good sized, beautiful garnets and other gems!!
Dan, I was wondering if you check the classifier before you dump them. I ask, because there (could be) the chance you could find quarter+ garnet. Or am I showing my ignorance on this topic.
Little oh me want same . I'll put them in my tinny jars that I put crystals in. Your going to give me some of the best gift of this year I swear, if it happens . I live in ky I have a crystal garden and having them will be a pulse
If I were to guess, I'd assume that the concentration rule might be there to deter folks from tearing up river banks. By requiring concentrates, it may necessitate more modest activity along the river?
My son went panning for garnets with his grandmother, my mom, about 22 years ago. He ended up making me beautiful jewelry using wire and tiny jewelry tools. I love your video ❤
Nice! When I was a teenager living in Pr. Rupert, my dad brought home a whole pile of garnets he found while collecting oysters on the beach. He got me interested in rock collecting, finding agates near Monte Lake. All your videos are so educational and enjoyable.
Those Garnets look like fish roe
I thought caviar from the thumbnail myself 😂
They're really much smaller.
I'd have had em in my mouth b4 figuring out they're stones. XD
I was going to say that!
Ditto! But since garnets that small, and in the rough are not crazy expensive, I'll take 5lbs......and no refrigeration needed! (Just a warning sign "Do Not Eat" for the guests!)
It would be really cool to have an aquarium full of garnets on the bottom!
An aquarium with gurnets swimming in it.
As a gemstone collector and a fish lover now I want to price this for one of my smaller tanks.
🤩🤩🤩 YES!

Anywhere you can find gold, you can find platinum. It’s like a 1 part to 100,000 for gold to platinum, or something ridiculous like that.
Hiya Dan and thanks from Ontario. Seeing all those garnets just prompted me to thaw out some roe for fishing tonight👍
Have fun
I’m on the way to the Japanese grocery to get Masago!! On a bagel with cream cheese!

As a kid I used to hunt tiny red garnets in the sand of the dry Rillito River bed in Tucson, we called them "sand rubies".
I love the name "sand rubies." Very fitting!
I'm profoundly rock n mineral obsessed and can't go anywhere without bringing A rock back!
Me too , doing it 64 years now...the rocks are smaller now , I have no room left !
Same, but over the years I now have a routine of putting the good ones back, or moving them into an area where small kids are, spreading the love of rock hounding to another lifetime, another generation.

@@Seahorse1414 hahaha. my hubby put me on rock restriction after our last move lol (but I still grab one or two smaller-fist sized- now and then :-)
If you ever travel by Arkansas, check out Ron coalmans mine, $25 a person and you keep all the quartz you find.

How big is a carat?
🌸 goodness me I didn’t know that 😊
@@IM2awsme🌸 Google it, very hard to describe that size
It’s like standard lady solitaire engagement ring size and I am sure you saw one
The editing skills are on another level. It adds so much to the viewing experience.

Hello from Michigan. Moved here from the lower mainland of BC. Love watching your content. All of it.😊
Awesome! Thank you!
The gravel is so pretty once you got the sand off and was mostly garnets. The garnets in the rock is also very pretty. Thank you for sharing. ❤
You had me at 'prospecting, panning and metal detecting'. These are just some of my hobbies !

a single layer of garnets or other gems could be used between two sheets of glass, for colored glass, light, lamp shade.

Pfeiffer Beach in California is known for its purple sand due to the concentration of garnets. I'm going to get there one of these days!
I love how you enjoy this and how you stick with the rules
Your awesome Dan Hurd. Love how your so knowledgeable in Gold/Gems and Geology. Love ❤️ your videos
Good afternoon from Ireland 🇮🇪

I love how happy this guy is doing what he loves! ❤😊
Love you💖 and your videos!! Beautiful garnets!! Those were my Moms gemstone! Thanks for sharing your time!!😀😀😍😘💐💐🌈🌈🙏🕊🍀🍀
Glad you like them!
Where do most facetable garnets come from? I've done some searching around and only ever see people finding highly fractured or very small ones.
I have a claim over by nelson that has facatable garnets. I also work with a miner from africa who has a whole mine for facatable garnets.
bonjour from Québec ......every Time is a masterpiece.......24 min its not enough✌️👌
The Mtn Man in me sees a lifetime supply of firewood : ) The specimens are so cool.
All the best Dan I hope you and your family are doing brilliantly.
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks, Dan for everything you do.
Enjoyed watching your process and learning about distinctions of placer, mineral etc. Bless you and yours
Gorgeous spring day 😊
You work hard for sure, Mr. Dan and I have really loved the adventure.
Those are beautiful garnets! Thanks for sharing Dan!
I have always loved your garnet videos, it's awesome to see you panning for these . I have panned out garnets for few years now.
I did craft a sieve but, unfortunately there are no known localities for any gemstones in Estonia, so everytime I go prospecting, I'm kind a looking for everything.
Oh I wish I'd find a spot where garnets are laying around like caviar, not hiding in rivers, and inside tough mica shist/quartz kind of matrixes:D .

Morning!
Dan, if you want Garnett's, I have many, 10% of them just smaller then a marble. All of them as big as a pencil eraser. I can get pounds of them if you are interested.
I’m in western Washington and a lot of our rivers are chock full of garnet too. Nice videos!
Hi Dan, would you tell Jason from MBMMLLC. To be careful of Sasquatch when he walks alone in the woods. The knocking he heard was most likely one.
And it's just like when you're hunting for mushrooms. You don't find THEM... They SHOW themselves to you! You kind of just skim your eyes over the surface of the area you're panning and before you know it... YOU'RE A PRO!!🏆🥇

They are awfully small. Just like the garnet sands where I found gold in lower Michigan. I found some large ones in the UP but not good colors.
You and Jason make great videos

Dan,
I was wondering if you check the classifier before you dump them. I ask, because there (could be) the chance you could find quarter+ garnet. Or am I showing my ignorance on this topic.
Can you heat up those garnets and turn them into glass, like you can with sand or silica?
If you can would the garnet glass end up being a red color?
