One MILLION DOLLAR crystal pocket!

- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- We were called back to the same crystal pocket we were digging yesterday, because the pocket of world class quartz crystals went from epic, to OUT OF THIS WORLD. And the miners said we had to come back and see what they found. And they were not joking. the amazing quartz crystals coming of of this private dig site are beyond words. This pocket of crystals was estimated to hold over one million dollars worth of world class collector crystals. Appraised by the experts in the industry, not me
Huge thanks to @The Crystal Collector for inviting me out for this trip and @Avant Mining for hosting us at their amazing facility and mine sites.

I absolutely adore how the more excited Dan gets, the more he goes full Canadian!
Lol I gotta watch for that.
🗝️🌍👀👩🏾🦯✅📸🙏😻😻📷📷👍
excitement drool... how you know someone is losing their marbles
These are white diamond not crystal i do know a lot about diamond
He rocks😜
Thanks!
Dan, you never fail to surprise me with your videos. I am 100% disabled after my last deployment and a stroke after returning home. I cannot get out and do these things anymore.
Would love to visit that site, willing to even pay a fee to dig a few of those crystals. I do want one of those big ones for my display shelf.
Thanks for another great video.
Love it! This is like watching a bunch of kids opening an endless mountain of Christmas presents.
Now that is EXCITING!! Just being there to watch them come out of the earth and into the light of day for the first time in millions of years. A chance of a life time!
THE most exciting video I’ve seen ever. Mother Earth has given up her bounty on this day to some very happy crew members. Thank you Dave Hurd for being in the right place at the right time.
Thank you so much for allowing us to share in the excitement! Quartz is my favorite and the only thing better than this film would be actually being there and holding those magnificent crystals.
You know this is a big deal when you see all these fine folks together! This made my day and made me want a very large crystal quartz!
@@DiamondMinerIvins what are you laughing about???????
@@DiamondMinerIvins I cannot take people who make fun of others how disgusting 😡
Hi Dan 👋 😁..I want thank you,Brian, Jake and Paulie for posting ur videos for every day that y'all were there!! I'm a huge fan of all 4 of you..it was awesome to see all of you together on a fantabulous dig, the size of the crystals are astounding!! Luv y'all ✌😁
It's like a crystal collectors dream !!!
They just keep coming out & the wall is glistening with a seemingly endless bounty.
Way to go guys & gals !!!
Now *that* - is just stunning! And the enthusiasm of you all, just makes my daughter and I grin! Very many thanks Dan for bringing us with you to this spectacular crystal mine! Best always, Wendi and young Molly.
Nice video zbrdst minds blowing super excited video 📷👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
We NEED to see them CLEANED UP too…… please make a video about that too Dan
That's them all cleaned up on the tables right at the end of the vid - I'd love to know the value of them all though, some huge crystals there!
🗝️🌍👀👩🏾🦯✅📸🙏😻📷👍
@@purplepotato3592
Exagerated value or real value?
How many did they find total?
@@purplepotato3592 (
Woohoo great video, thank you for sharing. God bless, take care and stay safe and well 🙏🥰👍👍👏👏💖💖
Incredible Pocket! Wow!
A great day for sure!
Fun to see all the RUclips miners together!
Yesss I'm back viewing you all rystals and gold's hunters.
So long I've stop viewing you all because I'm in a Kereoke online singing of StarMaker and WeSing.
Thank you for this vedio.
God bless you all ...🙏😇❤️❣️🌹💋🌟
Wow, those are a bunch of Epic Quartz Chrystals. I know I have never seen anything that Big. Absolutely Astonishing finds.I can see how you guys had so much fun.
DAN , YOUR ENTHUSIASM IS INFECTIOUS MY FRIEND.!! LOVE PANNING AND LOVE GEOLOGY AS WELL.!! TOO COOL.!!! 💯💯💯
Man these are absolutely incredible museum quality pieces! What a dream being able to see such gorgeous pieces revealed from the earth! As a disabled mineralogy lover it's mostly a dream of mine to pull something like that myself haha, I can hardly get around my own backyard these days. The real tragedy imo is how I doubt most anyone could afford these lmao; I feel all you fellas deserve a freebee for helping pull so many out :P
I feel you every day is agony, it's even harder accepting limitations. I keep pushing my self to get a little adventure in here and there. just make time for stops and rest, some of my best finds are from my own yard 😅 but I still try to get to the river and let the wife and kids do the looking they grab whatever looks out of place. then I lose myself in the wonder of how they formed!
LOVE your videos Dan. Such a warm hearted happy go lucky guy on every video.... 24:30 "While they are over there on the big on imma pull this small little guy. No one seen me pull this... I'm RUNNIN! Oh, never mind... Theres the boss..." lol
Wow, this is sooooo amazing! I'm in awe of these gorgeous crystals. Thanks Dan for the outstanding video, the content is out of this world !
Enjoyed the presence of the Crystal Collector in the earthy delivery of crystals.
That big old pocket(s) of crystal is the most incredible I've ever seen. Each one was a miracle of nature...and so many. It was a joy to see all you all so excited and overjoyed. So amazing.
That was a gorgeous find! I’m so happy for everyone involved! 💛
Looks like so much fun. Thanks for producing these all you guys and ladies. Good wholesome stuff. Hope I can find something like that here in the mountains. Cheers!
I'm going this weekend. 3/9/23. I'm so excited. We are going after a huge rain these past 2 days. I know what I am getting every time but it never gets old. Covered head to toe in mud is just the sprinkles on the cupcake!! Happy digging y'all!!
I almost jumped out of my chair when that big cluster broke into 3 huge pieces!!! So glad everyone was there to help and experience such amazing finds. Thanks Dan!

Dan Hurd, I enjoy watching anyting that you're involved in. Your enthusiasm is infectious. If you ever in the Gilbert Arizona area, please let me know. There is a San tan mountain range area near me I just has all kinds of quartz ledges
in it. There are two old miners buried up there than their graves are well-marked. They spent many years looking for Golden I don't know if he ever found any. I think it would be worth looking at if we've heard nothing else the value for your show. Keep up the great work, your friend, Carl
Yay a midweek drop! Thanks Dan!!!
Some people have flying dreams. My version of a 'flying dream' is this vid. Finding crystal after crystal. Pure joy.
Absolutely stunning! CONGRATS! 🥳
Ein ganzer Berg voller Kristalle ,es ist nicht zu glauben aber es geschieht vor unseren Augen ! So eine ausbeuten, freue mich sehr für EUCH! Danke das wir dabeisein durften ,ein unvergesslicher Anblick !Mutter Natur ,und die Zeit beschert Euch ein Wunder, nach dem anderen !👍😎🍀🍀💎💎💎💎💎💎
That moment at 23:29 when all of them are cheering, and then suddenly they remember to call out their catch phrases, lol. It's such a beautiful coming together of content creators, celebrating the "birth" of that monster crystal. :) So happy for all of you that you could be there to participate in this awesome event.
"Whaaaaaat", "Hey, Can you dig it!", "Noice!", "Just incredible".
You proved that grown men can get excited like kids.
The size of these crystals are amazing! Can’t believe how clear they are⛏🏴
Alas, they were creating a crystal resonance chamber that was imprisoning an ancient wendigo! NOW IT'S FREE!! :O (And this becomes the new B-movie horror flick plot from Blumhouse, lol)
Perfect for chi amplification and purification
Where u in scotland pal?
@@Alondro77 dan and blumhouse could be amazing unheard of combo
Xabsolutely brilliant Dan, pleased you were called back to see them pull those wonderful crystals out of that clay. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
That's insane wow in believable pieces for sure out of another world great job getting this out to us I will speak for everyone lol we all love the content . Woo Hoooooooo. It's like grown men in a hobby store love it
They are not that expensive ...
@@yaykruser I don't care about the price it's the find. Simple people I tell ya
Dan and Pauly....Come on, sour candy? ROCK CANDY!!! Yeesh. With those rocks, you could have some super insane new vampire teeth.... :P
What an amazing experience you all had.👍😁
Dan so excited he is drooling on himself.... LMAO And in my Backyard at that...
What I wouldn't give to get to meet up with all of you guys and go on an amazing Rockhounding adventure! In Arkansas I went to the gym Coleman mine and got to dig through the tailing piles. One of the greatest rock hunting memories of my life. I'm not exactly sure where you guys are now but I have a blast when I was there!
Thank you for sharing that. What a privilege and joy to be part of that harvest!
Hi Dan, This was amazing and I love to see you all working on digs together. Would be great to see the biggies cleaned up too. Watching from Birmingham, UK ... you absolutely earned my subscription, seeing as I've been binge-watching your channel.
That was so cool, I got chilly and had to put on a sweater! (Or maybe it is because the temperature is dropping? - nah!).
always love Dan's energy 😀
That is absolutely amazing, heck of a pocket. Thanks for sharing Dan👋👍👍👍😃
This trip is going to be hard to top!💜
LOL, bulls in the crystal shop! GREAT DIGS!
Loving this mini-series on the quartz, it's really inspiring and educational to see the wide variety of crystals, minerals, and other valuables you extract and collect!
I was wondering, would it not be a little easier/more efficient an extraction of these crystals if you were to use water to wash away the clay between crystals and simultaneously rinse them to see their true form?
Also, is the crystal more valuable if it is completely clear and glassy, or are they more valuable with phantoms, or sandy parts, or other inclusions?
Hydraulic mining is incredibly destructive.
@@jonlavigne3270 As Jon says hydraulic mining is environmentally destructive and would also result in more damage to the crystals. So what you may gain in productivity, you will loose far more in lost value and therefore lost money.
Ye it’s not just gold or diamonds
😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏
What a once in a lifetime experience. That's some of that good karma you have stored up there. Thank you for all you do and sharing it with us.
What a blessing, for the mine to have you guys there in the 1st place. But then to call you back, to check out what they came across after you left, wow. That speaks very highly of their character As well as your's, Jake's, Pauley's and Brian's.
HOLY CRAP Dan. Quartz is my favorite gemstone. My 9th grade earth science teacher had a smokey quartz cluster in a display case. It was amazing. Loved them ever sense
So, forgive my ignorance here, but I have a couple of questions. I completely get the treasure hunt aspect of this and the excitement that goes with it. But if these are just ordinary crystals and not gemstones, how/why are they worth as much as you're saying they are? Who buys plain crystals for that much money? Now, I'm saying "plain" and "ordinary" because they're not gemstones, not because they're not beautiful, which they clearly are. Also, how does one come to own a "private crystal pit?" How would you even know where to dig for stuff like this? Do these sorts of crystals occur everywhere across the country, or only in certain places? I find this all really fascinating. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Dan, I'd like a video explaining the "hows and whys" of crystal formation.
@@pinned_byxrpchiz3339 I don't believe you are Dan. He doesn't push his whatapp under his main account
@Eric Williams, make sure you report Spam. It will get removed.
🗝️🌍👀👩🏾🦯📸🙏😻👍
Having had a couple of geology courses in college, I would love to be able to go crystal hunting once or twice, but I have goats and chickens to feed. I have purchased small crystals over the years and just looking at them makes me happy.
It was fun watching you all get high on rock crystal. Absolutely fabulous pieces. I had a client that had a 4" by 8" by 5" quartz crystal. Inside the clear was a castle like inclusion including a winding path up to the castle. The most fascinating rock I ever was given the privilege to hold..
These guys said Crystal more times than a Alabama trailer park.
Lmao
😂😂😂
Excellent 🤗🤗💎💎💎💎💎
I’m wondering if the use of a water jet hose wouldn’t make things easier
hello my friend I hope you are well wonderful prospecting very good result bravo ✨✨👌
There is a limit to the demand for quarts crystals. The more you flood the market the less valuable they become.
Right, Bob. It's simple supply and command.
@@evilknot5667 supply and demand is the economic phrase!
@@markfryer9880 Mmm, nope I'm pretty sure its supply and command.
I’ve never bought one. I’m 60 years old and I don’t think I’ve missed anything. 🤷🏻♂️
Looks like Orrefors might be getting a call. $$$
Wow. Never knew Quartz Crystals were worth such big bucks! Gees Dan this makes Gold prospecting look kinda weeny.......heh heh heh. Love your channel, keep it rolling! 😎
They are not....
Actually they are not!!! Lol none of those points exceed $5000 if they are lucky!!!
I’d really like to see more of the clean ups as well after the video. It’s cool to see them pull it but it’s a let down when you don’t get to see the end product.
I even showed my wife! who agreed how amazing that find is 🌟 congratulations, nice work
They are only worth as much as you can sell them for. The crystal collector came and set up at a big flea market near me. He was trying to sell large quarts crystals for $100-$150 but everybody is like why? What good are they? He ended up selling a lot of little $10-$20 crystals to get gas money.
The truth, bro. That pocket is not worth 1 mil. He has bombarded RUclips with many videos trying to hype those crystals, he seems desperate, lol. He would be very lucky to get 20K, for that pocket.
On my bucket list... I'd love to come play in the dirt with you awesome folks for a few days.... The SPIRITUAL ENERGY at this mine must be out of this world.
Doesnt showing the general public how big the crystals can be and their abundance depreciate the value of the smaller crystals??
I think the point of the video, is an attempt to inflate the prices. 1 mil.? I am still laughing at that whopper, hahaha.
Another CoOl vid Dan 🤩👒💎⛏👒 👍
These valuations there throwing around just don’t seem right to me. I mean if they were these people must be billionaires. Seems like they are just too common out of this out for them to be worth the 30-50-100k evaluations that are being thrown out.
I just am having a hard time believing these are woth more then things like black opal and diamonds
You are correct, they are not worth that much.
Unbelievable. I am so happy to see something this joyful happening with all the negative stuff going on these days. Hi from a fellow Canadian on the East coast.
I personally am not a fan of the recent run of these crystal videos and seeing so many discovered doesn’t seem to indicate any kind of rarity in them to fetch any sort of high market value, if anything the market is likely being flooded with them if they are that ripe for the picking. If gold wasn’t rare it wouldn’t have much value and would just be an alloy for something else more rare and precious or it would be used as the primary metal for all our household items and the made in China dollar store items. I just don’t see the appeal and all the fuss about harvesting something that seems so plentiful, and don’t understand why it’s so valuable.
There's nearly 8 billion people on the planet. If only 0.1% of us (1 in a thousand) want to buy a big crystal, that's 8 million big crystals. In the video, they unearthed maybe 10 or 20 of the really big ones. I think they made it plain that this was a highly unusual day, so they're not getting ones like that every day. Those 8 million people will bid up the price for the few big crystals available, so yes, they will likely be really valuable.
@Josey Wilds That would make you one of the 99.9% that don't want them. I'm part of the 8 million that love them. But I don't need to own one at this time so I won't be buying any either.
@@craftsmanwoodturner respectively speaking here, I would dare say that far less than 1 in a thousand would be interested in purchasing an expensive crystal, especially in our current economy. The only crystals that appear to be trending or even remotely mainstream are the gimmicky, healing crystals and those are $5-$100 depending on the craft idea that the crystals are incorporated with. I am likely being narrow minded because I don’t have any interest in crystals, gemstones, etc, therefore it just may be difficult for me to understand the appeal. But you can’t deny that something doesn’t seem rare when it’s being harvested out of the earth like a seasonal vegetable crop.
Crystals are admired first and foremost for aesthetic beauty, and sometimes it's not some people's jam and that's fine! With crystals like these it's less about amount and more about how hard it is to get to and finding something that fits the quality scale that makes it 'rare'- i.e. finding pieces that aren't damaged, the way they grew, and how 'quality' they are- they care more about how dazzling people see them visually. It's like a lottery of nature harboring the right conditions to make them 'valuable' because the shape and formation is what can be rare; certain types of growing rates, conditions, inclusions etc. are the rarity factor- but not always!
long story short, it's mostly a perceived value over actual 'rarity'- there's hardly any real rarity with a lot of materials when you get to the bottom of it, it's just hard to get to it which makes it expensive.
That being said, imo the amount or lack thereof isn't what makes something special, it's the unique qualities of every piece; scarcity is often manufactured for most materials anyways!
Just grab a bucket of popcorn and stuff your mouth.
WHAT AN EPIC TIME!!!
Thank you for this video...
1 million dollar pocket? Not even close. Until they are done with the lies I will keep telling the truth. Those crystals are NOT worth $50-100,000. They go for what ppl will pay for them. They are not rare but the land they are on is rare because it’s owned by people that sometimes do not mine for this 247. Similar crystals are a few hundred dollars for the huge ones seen in this video
You speak the truth, bro.
*Your videos that you make are worthy of the 1 million club Dan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻*
Great video Dan Hurt. GREETINGS FROM DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Probably the most awe-inspiring video I've ever had the privilege of witnessing.!
In my language we call the midwife an “earth mother”. Seeing you all press and pull to get these crystals into the light, was like seeing Mother Earth give birth. What a precious gift she gave you, just witnessing this multitude of crystals is a gift on its own.
.love love love it. I have dug Herkimers and was excited can't imagine pulling one of these beauties. Thanks for sharing.
Dan this is amazing 🤩 loved it! Thank you for bringing us along
It is amazing! I am excited just watching. Thank you for sharing.
That. Was. NUTTERS! Man, talk about living the dream!
Such an incredible video. I've been watching Brian for years before I found you. It's soo cool seeing a collab of sorts with Pauly, Brian and the great Dan Hurd!😀 Love it! 💛
Very Nice video Dan!! Thx for Sharing!! JJ

Never watched this guy, but first thing. Love that he said “ hope to earn your subscription today “ that’s class
WOW, JUST... WOW😮
WHAAAAT THATS CRAAAZY.. they are beautiful .... I WANT ONE... 🙃🙃👍👍

You guys need hardhats. ☝☝☝ That's my finger wagging at you shame shame. Lol. Great video. Did you get to keep any souvenirs?
you the world class youtuber
great video
Overwhelming Dan! Thank you…. haven’t felt this way in awhile.
Amazing finds! You get what you pay for at the mines. If you find a million dollar piece you aren't the owner you have the option to buy. But for the money you get your moneys worth!
nice to see Strider, the true king of gondor, enjoying some crystal finds
Loving these videos! Every time someone pulls one it’s just like when fireworks go off, Oooo, Ahh….. these crystals are amazing.
