Bunchberry Prospect Part 3: While Dylan worked the ledge elsewhere, I really wanted to remove that Beryl Crystal from the ledge that we found last time. To My Great Surprise, underneath was a Smoky Quartz Crystal Pocket with a Scepter in the Ceiling and a Floater in the Floor. The Floater looked very similar to if you held up your hand to make a peace sign ✌️! Stay tuned for more from this and other awesome adventures in 2026. As always, Thanks For Watching! 🙏

Bunchberry Prospect Part 2: As Dylan and I uncovered the ledge, we began revealing the true nature of the beast. This pegmatite has a lot going on and we were itching to work it. Dylan peeled back some moss, displaying a seam of Smoky Quartz pocket formation, which he immediately began working, pulling this crystal and a couple others. We spent a lot of time unburying this ledge, you have to watch the whole thing to see what we found in the waning hours of daylight…
Thanks for watching🙏!!!

A few months ago, Dylan and I were on a long haul through the forests of Oxford County, Maine. After hiking for hours through thick brush and up steep mountain slopes, we encountered a ledge that looked different from all the rest we had encountered that day. We immediately began digging around, uncovering the ledge. In the dirt below we found some odd smoky overgrowth on milky quartz crystals. Then we found some large chunks of blue beryl. Then things really started to heat up when we began pulling milky coated smoky Quartz crystals, parallel growth smoky Quartz crystals, and finally the tiny banger of a crystal that is shown in the beginning and end of this video. This is just the start of some great discoveries we made at this location. Welcome to the Bunchberry Prospect! Discovered July, 2026. If you think this is cool, just wait until we start showing you what has come out of the ledge itself! More to come soon! Thanks for watching!

I told you we would hold off the nor’easter! Our wedding weekend was magical, full of love and friendship, and our special fire performance made the crowd go wild! Many of you don’t know that Sarah and I met at a party on valley street in Portland 12.5 years ago and I performed on fire that night. We’ve been performing together ever since! Thank you to everyone out there who also convinced the storm to retrograde. It was a wild ride!

Tomorrow is the day we have both been patiently awaiting for a long time! Sarah is the best prospecting and adventure partner that I could ever ask for! We’re going to tie the knot tomorrow afternoon. Our love has made the Nor’easter hold off and we’re ready for the next great adventure!

Last Weekend I Led An OCMGA Gold Collecting Field Trip To The Swift River In Byron, Maine. Almost All Of Us Found Some GOLD and We All Had Fun Playing In The River! I Got An Opportunity To Use A Full Sized Sluice For The First Time Ever And I Wasn’t Disappointed! The Last Piece Pictured Is The Largest Piece I Have Found To Date! If You’re Interested In Booking Your Very Own Gold Collecting Trip, Feel Free To Reach Out! Have A Great Day

My first look back in time in a while! This Quartz Crystal was the largest I had found at the time! I had just bought some big mining equipment, had no idea how to use it, and thought I must have been crazy pursuing my dreams. Fast forward to now and it has just been a wild ride. This year has been the best mining and collecting season of my life so far! I look forward to being able to share some of the monster finds from the year with you soon! With 500 miles on foot this year alone, we have made some killer discoveries, and we’re just getting started…. Stay Tuned! Thanks again for watching!
