Thanks everyone for watching!! This is a fun video! If you enjoyed throw me a thumbs up and maybe a share! I've been working on volume control and learning more each video, this video was fairly smooth but could have used one more round of loudness for some devices. To do that I must run it thru another program, and it takes a while but in the future I'll have it even more dialed in. I really appreciate the support and couldn't and wouldn't be doing this without y'all!! Thanks again!! Bryan Major

I've never been disappointed when gem hunting in Franklin. The Mason mine or the Rose Creek mine always produce good quality rubies, sapphires and garnets. Plus, the kids have a blast in the mud!

Id love to see some of the crystals you find all cleaned up faceted and polished. Can you do that for the fans? That would be amazing to see.

YES TO KYANITE PILE! I LOOOOOOOOVE KYANITE! I just bought a beautiful huge cluster of kyanite and I love the color and formation! 💙

I’m going there tomorrow. I can’t wait!!!!! Btw, Brian, if you are ever interested, I could hook you up with a friend of mine in Georgia whose entire yard is amazing quartz formations, and I mean literally his entire yard. He’s also found quartz arrowheads, quartz points that has a similar color to rose quartz and he’s starting to see some purple in with the quartz. He is in the amethyst belt area.

Great finds and polish up to extremely beautiful rubies and the bigger garnets pop with brilliant hot pink to purple pink colors!

YES to the Kyanite "piles".........simply LOVE the pinkish/purple colors you found!!!

Whaaattttt???? really nice stones you got there Buddy....cannot wait to see those beauty polished.

Love the ENTHUSIASM 💗💗💗 Finding crystals seems to do this to us guys that appreciate their beauty hey... 😉

Yes, 2 piles!!!!!!! Going to Mason Mountain next week!!!

Beautiful gemstones Brian especially the Kyanite!! Those rubies are huge!! The Rhodalite Garnets are just beautiful and gemmy in color and great quality.

Oh yeah, add my vote to adding a nice juicy pile of kyanite gravel! Gorgeous material..

I’m goin there. I’m amazed at how your videos keep me interested. I don’t keep interest very long but whene I watch u tube I check here for the videos I want to watch first

Awesome finds! Can't wait to see them polished and in there glory 😍

Most people don't know this but Ruby and Sapphire are the same stones, but different colors, different names. :) love the videos collector! Can't wait to see what you got for us next!

I think people would love to get the kyanite as well.

MAKE TWO PILES!!!

I am obsessed with your vids great stuff man very informative and entertaining I get excited every time I see a new vid!!!!

The garnets in the mica matrix are my favorite---beautiful pieces. Love your videos, thank you.

Hi crystal collector you are my favorite youtuber

Oh my goodness YES PLEASE! on a kyanite pile or two! Everything you found is scrumptious, Bryan.

I love GARNETS !

These are beautiful gemstones! Please do tell the owner to begin a kyanite pile, I think most people would be interested. I can't wait to see these stones polished, although it'd be hard for them to get any prettier!

Gorgeous Garnets! Can't wait to see the Rubies polished!

That Ruby is amazing! I love Ruby! Such a amazing variety of Corundum

I love your videos!!!!!!😊 Thank you for creating educational, fun, satisfying content. Much love from New Zealand

Great vid Bryan! I come here for the fine minerals, but I mostly come here for you. Your enthusiasm is fun and contagious. Love you, 😍🤣😂😂😘. Big hugs, Gin

That’s the mine from my home town I started my obsession with. Always good finds

Definitely a place to add to the bucket list.

Love kyanite ... soothing, healing crystal that never needs cleansing (energy) Thank you very much 😎

Love the vid Thanks for sharing with us

Thank you. Planning a gem mining trip in the future and this video really helped. We are interested more in this kind of mining or buying natural unsalted buckets.

Awesome adventure some beautiful finds and yes he should have two piles would be great to find some of them also thank u be safe big guy

Dig it all up TCC, gems are gems, i love your vlogs, it fill my day. Thanks

Ship one of those Ruby’s out to me Bryan! 😝 Great video! Like always!

Beautiful & Awesome! 🙏❤

If the mine owner feels he can recoup his cost in fuel to dig a separate pile, I'd go for it! I'll certainly watch videos on it--love this location! Hugs to Matrix and the rest of the family!

Your editing skillz are improving my friend! Not that that is why I watch your videos. They have always been entertaining!

My family LOVES the little town of Franklin, NC! I’ll have to look this place up on our next visit.

The most priceless gem I got out of going there in 1975 and camping out the night before on a cold March weekend was that is the weekend I conceived my Beautiful one and only Child My Daughter ! Went the first weekend in March and she arrived Dec 3rd 1975 !!!! Her name in Native American means Valley and that is where we were camped !! Yes my precious " DENA "

Not again...I love that place. I'll be dreaming about picking them all up now!😀 I'd be going back there too if I could. Look forward to seeing some of those beauties all polished up! Who hoo!👍

Rubies are my all time favorite gemstone.

Yes ! I would like to see it too.! Wow ! So fun.

As a kid my family went to Franklin and the ruby mines. Great memories.

Cool! Thanks for sharing!

Another excellent video!!! Thanks brudda!

just saw your van at a sheetz in Virginia, searched you! soooo cool! so glad I found you!

Awesome find kyanite ❤️Awesome finds

Great findings!!!

Yes! Make multiple piles!!🖤🖤 💎

I just discovered these videos and I immediately went to see if there was a mine near-ish to me. Unfortunately there is only 1 in all of Canada, it's a couple hours from me but I'm not that interested in opal. I'll just have to live vicariously through this content

I would love to go through both piles! I just learned that I live an hour and a half away from this mine. I will be visiting soon 😁

Love you're videos! Keep up the good work

Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

i from lenoir nc and have been rockhounding the yadkin river. all im finding is small garnets but they are plentiful. cant wait to find the motherload. thanks for the videos. awesome.

Do you think you could cut one of the rubies in half to see what the interior looks like? And great video keep up the good work!

Spectacular finds

Thanks for sharing! 🤙🏼

You are just finding a lot of stuff keep up the great work

Thank you for yet another wonderful video buddy! Your stuff is always a joy to watch... 🥰 And yes, a second pile would be awesome! Oh and better quality video as in better resolution to see rock details on site is always a bonus but don't stress over getting all KZfaq-Y with production tricks etc... your content is 💯 real. That's rare.... the Zelda vibe is all good 😉

I am in Nc and U am excited too! I am so going there!!!

Superb work

Ruby, garnet, kyanite! Yeah, put it in the piles! 😍

My son and I drove down from Ohio because of your huge carnet video from NC. Is there any way you could summarize your process for polishing the one you showed in video? My wife's birthstone is garnet and I wanted process a larger one for her birthday. Your tips and info on the mine created a great Father Son experience. He hammered for hours in the mine! You inspired him a great deal. Pretty good for a teenager.

Hi, I'm happy to follow you on youtube. It has to be something beautiful, amazing to travel and find minerals. I'm from the Czech Republic and looking for minerals in the Czech Republic. You have big mineral deposits in the USA. We have smaller sites, but more rare minerals.

Nice job on finds and video!!

Definitely put another pile down there. Great video as always! Keep on sweating!

They should definitely have a Kyanite pile! They look so cool and I'm sure people would love to find some for themselves.

love your videos my dude! the stoke is real!

That is just something that larger boulder would be so awesome in a garden or a rec pond! As a kid you really could have gone on a treasure hunt there!

Maybe sometime you should try the Sapphire mine in Montana.

Love your videos! I would like to visit the US one day to see these gems for myself.

Nice finds! I should make another trip over to Franklin. I only live 100 miles away.............

I have subscribed and have watched all of your videos!! I'm 26 and grew up playing Zelda and Mario games.. every time I hear one of ur intros with those theme songs all I want to do is either go mining or play an old school game! You and your videos are amazing!! I wish you could pick subscribers to come mine with you it would be a dream come true. Keep it up man!! LOVE IT...WHAAAT!

Definitely, kyanite dirt piles!💙💙💙

Yep. I'm all over the kyanite, if it's available. Two piles sounds good to me!

my birthstone! I want to visit the mine next time I go east

Oh yes!! Bring out the Kyanite dump piles!!! I plan on taking g a trip out this summer if possible??🤞 hope to sift thru some great dirt🤗 ✌💜💎💫

A second pile of kyanite dirt sounds amazing!!!

Love the kyanite! So pretty!

Ah My home state...That’s why I love NC Beautiful absolutely beautiful

"WHAT!!!" I like that.

Being able to pan for some of that beautiful Kyanite would be so great!

I love your channel! I hope to go for a dig sometime soon, it just can't happen right away because I live in Florida and there aren't many very good dig sites here :( I hope to go to JXR hopefully (fingers crossed!) its an 8 hr drive for me but I think I could make it happen😁
