Thanks so much for watching! For sure check this location out, it’s one of the only locations that lets you keep anything you find and is open year-round! Diamond Hill mine has so many varieties of quartz it keeps you going back. I dig there for many years when I first started digging crystals, you always find something on any given day! Thanks again for the support 🙌

Wow at 5:29 I was there like a week ago and that “fresh dirt” was from me. Lol I was so close to that vein and didn’t even know it

My wife and i first went here when it was piring rain and ended up having a great time. We found over 200 pieces that day and were able to keep it all. We were even surprised to fin a few light colored amethyst once we cleaned the dirt off. Awesome place.

I found an amethyst here this past weekend just by walking and scanning the ground. The sun hit it just perfect and caught my eye :)

This was my first place I ever went a dig crystals! I had a great time. I mostly just walked around and picked stuff off the surface. I got some really nice crystals and small clusters.

I saw Brian digging here years ago and it inspired me to take a trip to Diamond Hill and I had a blast! Came home with so many beautiful skeletal clusters. Thank you Crystal Collector for continuing to give the community inspiration and information to dig this amazing Earth!

If i didn't know any better I'd think you owned a share of the mine!

It’s great you’re full of knowledge about the sites and you give them good publicity.

Thank you for the video! I don't have much anymore and I know I couldn't go and do this. I pass out going to the grocery. But it sure does make me happy! I used to live in Colorado and we would find a ton of Mica and quartz but I had no idea what I was doing. Thank you again. 💖

You love our comments? Whaaaat! We love your videos.💓 That's why everybody that sees this comment is going to share this video. 💪😎🤳

Really love watching your shows .Me and my wife went to Tucson this year for the gem show was amazing to see .We are in Shady Cove Oregon we are gonna start looking for places to get out there and find our amazing crystal. Thank you so much for all the inspiration.

Life goal is just to be able to go out and dig with you. Forreal 😫

Love your videos so much! They show the amazing treasures that you can find right in our own backyard, no need to leave the USA or Canada for amazing adventures. Thank you for bringing us along. Be safe, stay healthy and 💜 from 🇨🇦

A wonderful walk around the mine Bryan, and lending your experience there to others which I'm sure is a big help. I love seeing the crystals before and after they are cleaned, the difference is amazing and the colours are beautiful. I enjoyed the video and seeing Matrix at the end was great, he looked full of fun as usual lol. Take care and stay safe please my friend, good luck and happy fossicking Mary-Ellen UK

Thank you for mapping out the mine! We are headed that was today for our first ever dig, super excited!

Very awesome! Looks like I need a vacation 😁👍 Thank you for the information Bryan! Thank the owner for the awesome opportunities.... Give little adorable Matrix love's for me & Much respect always! 🙏❤💕

Watched video about this mine and was excited. So me and the kids went from N.C., 4 1/2 hr drive to do some digging. After being there all day Digging and looking I was so disappointed with this mine. I could of stayed home and dug in the backyard. If your looking for a place to go and let your kids get their energy out and climbs mounds of dirt then this is a good place. But if you are a true rock hound, don’t waste your time here.

Wow! Great video, the dig sites should pay you to do these videos. Dhm was already on our list but now I'm ready to go this week!

Man! I wish I lived in South Carolina so I could go digging!

I really appreciate you showing where to rockhound without getting in trouble thanks!

We were just there on Friday 6/12, and we mentioned the Crystal Collector channel to just about everyone we met. It's amazing how many people you have influenced throughout the years to go out and explore.

i love how kind he is. He just leaves them for people to find later. It shows he's doing this because he loves it. Not for money.

What an amazing place to walk round. Would be so good to go there. Lovely to think you planted that rose and returned to see it grown. There was some great finds there. Thank you for showing us over the site

I agree its great place to dig! Ive been there cpl tims and found several nice specimens.

My birthstone 💜💜what a dream it'd be to..go dig!!

super cool tour, u did an amazing job explaining things!

Haven’t been there in 15 years, my spots are all gone now. Thanks for the great update on the site!

I loved the walk about today. Thank you for sharing your Knowledge on all these awesome finds. My daughter & Son n law are both into collecting rocks & Crystals I call gems.. I shared on my FB told the kids ROAD TRIP...

I was just there! ♥️ I loved it 🥰

We were there just a couple of weeks ago. We had a great time and look forward to going back. Didn't find any amethyst, but found quite a bit of small quartz clusters.

Just got back from here. First time at this mine ever. I loved every second of it. I will be returning here soon. @5:12 I was digging away that spot and found a huge pocket, unfortunately, whatever was there broke into shards on me, I decided to leave it exposed for someone else who doesn't feel like digging as much =). If you're reading this now, go ahead and take it all, should be a couple pounds of amethyst "slices"

Was just there!!! missed you by two days! Found some cool stuff for only being there for 3 hours. Going down by the creek we found some Garnets. Great Place!!!

I live 3 hours from there and I’m super excited to take a visit. Love the content, great information

Great video! I am planning my trip and wanted to watch a few videos to help set expectations and scout the terrain and this was super, super helpful.

This was the first place I ever dug after watching one of your videos. We ran around like crazy people, just looking for things, but couldn’t find crystals. I was being lazy and wanted to find a place to sit while hounding, so I started feverishly digging a hole in a hill to sit in. Quartz clusters just started falling out everywhere. We filled up a whole shoebox! 😂

You have inspired so many people to get into rockhounding and when we meet by chance at dig sites you are always the major topic! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and I cant wait to one day meet you!

I love the rose bush story.

I absolutely love watching your videos of the places you adventure to and the gems you collect. It would be awesome to run into you somewhere out there.

That is amazing for sure! Very cool, Brian! I hope i can get down their some day!... I would love to be able to travel around and hunt minerals and precious metals , hit coin shows and such. That would be epic.

This is awesome ive been wanting to visit

Such gorgeous amethyst! I dug my first crystals at Bear Canyon with a couple other KZfaqrs last weekend - I think I might be addicted. :D

Love the rose bush story your leaving beauty everywhere u go omg I can't help but get little kid excited wThing your reports .....and that monster smokey quarts WHHHAAAATTTTTTT

I can’t wait to go next week! Thanks for being so informative :)

Went there last week found alot of quartz clusters. I wish there was more port a jons on location but otherwise its a awesome dig spot

When the crystal collector looks like Jesus

When you were in the aquamarine pit (around 3:30), there was a green stone sticking out of that vein you were showing us.

Whatttt!!!! Look at them beautiful

I would like that to be my vacation. Spending time mining my own crystals for my collection.

Yay awesome crystals awesome video

Cristais perfeitos. Find precious my dear. Wow

Going here this summer v for vacation hope we find some great crystals, and have great moments😊

I caught that "stick figure" cameo. Im bummed they canceled the tour this year. I watch all your videos. Id love to go out on a dig. Looks like so much fun man!!

My husband and I have been twice its really fun!

Just went here for the first time yesterday and 4 hours was NOT long enough. This is an ALL day place. I learned so much my first visit but this visit is going to help put me in a totally different bracket for next time. I was hitting pegmatite ALL day and I felt so defeated thinking I was just hitting regular rock and to think I was THAT CLOSE to potential pockets is insane. If you could give any more SC suggestions that would be fantastic. I’m going to invest the 8 hours next time or just a whole weekend.

I need to make a map.. start from Herkimer NY and travel south

Thanks for sharing what type is mostly found! @The Crystal Collector I will find amethyst and that aquamarine and they will be my bonus! LOL🙂 Finding ones like the crystal collection toward the end are beautiful finds too. I can imagine using some of these type gems in fairy gardens . It will be my first real dig. The info on the website is crucial and informative too!! Especially for newbie rockhound digger like me.. I'm definitely going to go this weekend (Calling first with hope they will be open). I am super excited after seeing this video and especially after you talked about the good upkeep. Nice to know they turn the grounds! YAY @Nice touch that you added your history and story of the beautiful rose bush too!

Sweet sweet fantastic finds like that awesome thank you and Jeanna

I love your videos keep up the good work man

He loves the word Matrix so much he says it every episode. He even named his dog Matrix.

I'm enjoying this so much!

Hey, I enjoyed the tour! I have been there a few times and have never walked towards that Pine tree. Now I know how it looks like behind that wall!

I bet I can build a tiny house with all that Quartz :) New subber in here !!

Thanks for all of the help, tips, and happiness. Love your videos!!

Damn bri you have been busy! Good stuff yo🖒

Just got back from Graves mt. W. Some good finds. Gonna head here next!

I was there this fall and flipped a rock near the treeline - found a black widow on the other side! be careful!

Oh snap!!! My state, SC and my favorite band Stick Figure!!! I have to come visit in the fall.

Some fantastic looking pieces! I must go to this mine.

Whaaaaaat? 3 views and 11 likes. WOW. Thanks for the entertainment.

Thanks a lot. ❤️

Definitely planning a trip here. Did find a decent amount of geodes along Percy Priest Lake here in Tennessee

that place is on my bucket list...

I love aqua marine I love your videos

Very cool. Never knew.

Oh man, just missed you by one day! Would have been awesome to dig with you.

Its been another 2 years, you haavveee to go again

I have GOT to go! Great video.

Well their goes my savings lol u have gotten me Carolina excited for couple years now guess it's time to do some more research and buy some plane tickets lol prob have to drive home considering the weight

GREAT video! Thanks for the info and tips. Hoping to make it out there in the next year or two.

Great tour, Bryan!

Man, those are cool! I’m so glad I found your channel. Do you just go around and hunt crystals full time?

Hey man I'm a SC local I love gem huntimg but I have no idea where to sell any good specimens! Especially with the state of the world I need anything for some extra $

Me and my family have been here many times, we've found so many, that we have pallets of them in the backyard. Me personally, I spend more time looking at surface level, around veins. And I found a lot. You could dig, but look for veins and places where not many people are, typically you'll find more.

Love your shows .men.

Some of that quartz looked like it was carved from sugar cubes.

This place is cool I wish I could go but I live up in New England! Will you make it up here?!

This guy has found so much crystals and stuff like that... And all I found is a citrine:c

8:13 call it "fire on the mountain"

Was there a few weeks ago!!! 👍🏼😍😍😍 question. I found the ones at the end of your video. The iron yellow ones. Can they be cleaned with iron out? Or is that it’s natural color?

I am I am coming as soon as my money hits my card... I have made up my mind... So exciting...

Warmest greetings from Poland!

go to wal mart and buy a big jug of iron out and soak them brown crystals. alot of ground scores there

I love your videos!! Also I’m like an amateur at mining for crystals I’ve only been once but how easy or what’s the skill level to get some nice crystals from this location?

Anyone looking to camp near there, check out other local campgrounds, there's a lot of nice parks nearby. ✌️

Take me with youuuuu stop playing 🥰

I am Japanese.Compared to Japanese crystals, there are a lot of very large crystals in your country!I am very envious Very good (∩´ω`∩)✨✨✨

Amazing videos, really.

Someday this stone will Worth millions.

Would love to head down there sometime. I've gone to a place called Apatite Mountain a few months ago and found a ton of garnets and I've been hooked since. Would love to find out how/where to sell pieces (garnet, amethyst) and how to get my own mining claim.

I don't know if you'll answer but I've always been into Crystals and rocks and fossils but since I live in Ohio it felt like there was just fossils and not much else. I just wanted to know of any places in Ohio or close to there that might be good places to look for Crystals and things like that.
