My boyfriend and I are 19 and one of the things that brought us to be together two years ago was our mutual obsession with rockhounding. Neither of us had ever actually been on a dedicated digging trip until last year when we drove all night to dig in a couple places in N.C. for my graduation trip! Thanks only to your videos, because we'd never have thought it possible for people like us to do, after all, we aren't geologists haha! Now we are planning our second trip from Colorado to Arkansas that is even more intense than the first, and we are watching these videos together in anticipation :) thank you for doing what you do

That’s hilarious!!! But, it’s his calling in life!!! I love your sharing that beautiful memory!!! Thank you! To be honest, I’m just the same way. I just wish I could get a job in the Crystal Collector’s Company. My dreams would come TRUE!!! Coming to America in the beginning of the 1960’s, from my birthplace, West Germany, I was obsessed with digging up some gold. Then, I got a rock polishing set for Hanukkah one year and I made lots and lots of gorgeous gems 💎 - I just wanted to make pretty jewelry for my family and friends, well that was nearly 60 years ago and I’m bitten once again upon viewing the Crystal Collectors’ KZfaq videos!!! (I want a job doing all that - have you ever watched the, ‘Yukon Gold’, TV series??? They’re always doing well in Alaska! (Great series and addicting!). I just think it’s all AWESOME 🤩!!! Thank you for sharing your story! Peace ☮️ ✌🏽🌈🍀😁💎💎💎🍀🍀🍀🤩

Day 2 starts over at Meteor crater and the Petrified Forest National Park ending in Pinetop/Lakeside. Day 3 is the scenic view going back to the valley via the Salt river canyon on hwy 60. That trip never gets old.

Will have to plan to go back to Dobell to hunt myself.

Petwood is my favorite rock and being in Texas my favorite is petrified Palm, as that is our state rock. Living in the Big Bend area we have plenty but not all is agatized. A couple weeks back l came across a Nerf Football sized piece of Yellow Palm, been tumbled by nature for millions of years. My largest piece so far. Have found quite a bit of large very colorful chunks of other species too.
