    I really appreciate the complete absence of personal drama. The production quality is on par with cable tv, but I don't have to deal with the forced suspense of inter-personal conflicts that are pretty much standard on those types of show. Well done.

    A tip from crystal digger to another, try using reinforcing walls to keep the scree in check. I have been digging crystals for just over 10 years now, including Aquamarine, Fluorite, Opal, Quartz crystals, Tourmaline, Amazonite and Topaz.
    Also I use a wooden dowel for probing clay seams, its more effective then having to hand rinse the surface; just collect everything crystal like and sort it off site.

      @@rivchick I have, not recently...
      I have been digging double terminated quartz crystals out of sandstone vugs as of lately.
      For the more exotic minerals it's been a few years:
      Topaz/Fluorite/Beryl/Kyanite 2011
      Opal with fire, 2012
      Amazonite/Tourmaline 2015
      Double Terminated Quartz and Epidote crystals almost every year (including last month).
      To the reason for the wooden dowel is to probe clay vugs without breaking the crystals (used to use a screwdriver with distorious results, broke a golf ball sized double term).
      As for the onsite vs offsite washing, I just collect all the clay "gumballs" I find and wash them when I get home/to-camp. Its more time efficient then burning daylight on the side of mountain.
      PS: All the sites I have dug are in British Columbia, Canada.

    When I was a kid I used to go fishing at an old clay quarry and found an enormous lump of pink gypsum, at the time I thought I had found something precious but quickly found out it was not worth very much money at all but I loved to look at it and show my friends what I had found, when I took geology at school I donated it to the rock collection
