Thank you Dave for all of your videos, ESPECIALLY all the wonderful footage of the Gem and mineral show in Arizona ! I was also there this year (1st timer) , but i was only able to see about 1/4 of all the wonderfulness there. So you , and a few other you tubers helped me to see what I missed (sad for me, but good for my wallet LOL) It would have been cool to run into you and tell you thank you in person , maybe next year.

Standard procedure for 100+ years: unusual or out-of-place artifacts or remains are found, local ‘authorities’ are called, whom call in “experts”, whom, in turn bring in the Smithsonians to “examine” the finds. Articles are written, hoaxes declared or events said to have not happened. Time passes and original finders wonder when they’ll be able to see their stuff again (never)… Then their reputations are called into question (or worse) while the institutionalists laugh laugh laugh at the country club. The general public then chastise “conspiracy nuts” and consume pablum and rote lies…

Lol this is the only show we've been to where someone wasn't happy with us taking video. Somebody actually called the cops on you?? We had a guy come up and with a bit of anger in his voice "do me a favor and not record my whole booth". We started just asking vendors if they're ok with video after that and most were. Those who aren't should just have a little sign or something, it's a public show after all.
