so cool I used to live in Superior way back in like 1956 or so Dad was a doctor at the Copper Queen Hospital if i remember correctly we used to find Apache Tears all the time. the cliff in the background was called Apache's Leap man that was a long time ago

Really cool place🖒

I still have a box full from when we lived in Arizona in 1974 to 76. Good times 😌

A friend just shared this video with me and now I REALLY want to go see this, thank you for sharing!

My father grew up in Superior Arizona. As a child we would go out by Picket Post to look for the tears as well as Indian pottery pieces. We mostly found the clean smooth ones in the creek beds below the caves. According to my father, the Indian jumped off of the high Scarf wall to the east of Superior rather than Picket post. If you know where to look, you can find the grave of Wyatt Earps common law wife, Mattir Beylock out on the Desert between Superior and Picket Post nere the site of the old Town of Penesquitoes (sp)

Cool vide

This brought back memories; I remember being able to pick from a giant mound right there off the road just as you entered town, (Superior), on the east/right-side..., no hiking. About mid-1950's. Thx.

I love obsidians energy!!

New Subscriber, fascinating subject thankyou from chilly UK 🥶

very great search friend. the discovery of extraordinary rock crystal.

I have faceted a few of those they turn out beautiful.

Obsidian is very interesting to me...I like the arrows I found in a location years ago....the knife was beautiful 😍.

Beautiful collection...

my Dad & I dug some up in 1966, we ended up with a large bag of them, some are nice size, still have the bag of them, great memories

Great day. Thank you and hug that dog . Blessings

I was their in the 70s, my dad took the family out their and we got a few of them, still have them today👍

Apache tears are beautiful 😊

I have an Apache tear from a creekbed over in Globe, also found over 300 carats of Garnet that looks jet black until lit from behind it turns blood red.

I didn't know helicopters could cry until I saw this video...

Cool place I was there a long time ago like 15 years ago before I started making videos very interesting cool place to say the least😊

Interesting video and nice dug, cheers

Pretty awesome video. Small lesson on family's grief of their loved ones. I don't doubt the story one bit.

Fascinating.

You were standing the middle of Pinal City, once one of the biggest cities in Arizona in the 1880's. The cliff dwellings used to have wood frame windows and doors when lived in by miners. The mill processed the ore from the Silver King Mine about 15 miles NE.

Picket Post Butte. I used to hike there when I was a kid in the1960s. My grandmother lived in Superior and I played on the ruins many times. Queen Creek runs right in front of one of them.

"Their spider eggs, rrRUUNNN!!!"

14:36 looks like you are trespassing thru a hole in a barb protected fence.

Everything past the 2 boulders at the top of the trail is private property. Belongs to the mining company that is working all the perlite.

Wasn't Aquachigger just at this same area? Beautiful country nonetheless! Great video and new sub here..

I love that you are able to travel to these places. I'm certain as you gain more experience with your camera the videos will become better and better. Wondering what you will do with these??? Are you adding to your collection or do you have a plan for doing something with them? Thank you for a very nice video and I'm sharing it.

😮they are currently mining a different ore vein due to value of color and texure.

Well you got the legend correct but the mountains south and east of Superior are called Apache leap for that reason. Their skeletons were still there in the early 1900's

Where is this trail to get Apache Tears. I am aware of the perlite mine. Is it before the mine from Santan Valley ? Directions please. Looks so cool if really love to see it in person.

Just thought I would let you know that those caves are under claim by Imerys.

When I was a kid me and my brother went there they charged by the bucket we found a lot of them on the ground rather than trying to pick them out looks like the place is shut down.

Just a quick note, the flag on your backpack was upside down. Either that or the camera was off.

One tip for the camera work it doesn't focus as well as our eyes do so try to pan slower. I got motion sickness 😅

I noticed that the American flag on your backpack was upside down?

How often do you ignore no trespassing signs when you go out?

Markers are all vandalized or stolen, just like the fences.

Taking tears is taboo.

Thousands of A.Tears around Los Alamos. We got tired of collecting them.

How nice... are you willing to sell a pound or two of the ones in the matrix??

Misleading title since obsidian has no crystal structure; it's amorphous volcanic glass.

What drone are you using?

Wickenburg. In. The river. Bottom. Much nicer ones.

Whenever someone puts their hand to their chest when they say "Im so in so" I always feel like maybe they aren't too sure about who they are.

I know we're you can pick up bu ket loads lots laying in the roads all around Eastern Oregon

Why the leash

chem trials every where holy shit do you all see them?

The drone shots at the start were drawn out and boring, a waste of 4 minutes

"search cave for Apache tears" ? I'm half way thru it and decided it should be called "guy walks his dog while guessing about things and filming landscape" then I gave it a thumb down quit watching.

20 minutes I will never get back . So boring.

I have several of those I live in Southern Illinois.
