Crystals and Herkimer Type Diamond Hunting Near Payson Arizona
Crystals and Herkimer Type Diamond Hunting Near Payson Arizona
This is a fun video about looking for and finding crystals near Payson and Diamond Rim which is a public collecting spot. Digging is only allowed from October 1 to February 28 each year so we were surface hunting this trip. We will be going back in October though! There are few places in the world to dig this type of crystal and Payson Arizona is one of them.

Sweet adventure such a beautiful area awesome finds wow they will look sharp once you clean them up awesome thank you
Graph I picked up over 200 bags of garbage on blm land last year and this year is way worse !
That place is cool! Love seeing the different places you go to! The crystals are beautiful! The tiny two sided one will make a beautiful necklace! Thanks for the adventure! Be safe and HH 🎧⛏
Great video
Very pretty Crystal’s! Thanks for taking us along!
Nice hunt my friend 👍
Hell Bill,
The way its going it will be 110 degrees up there in October ha ha …..I have found some mind blowing crystals there in the digging season. Nice area
Good to see you pair of kids enjoying time together 👍🏽👍🏽
We went for real herkimers yesterday. Did well. Wish I could show you my collection
Always enjoy watching your adventures hurry up 2021 so want to visit Arizona
Nothing better than the sound of wind in the pines I replayed that part 5 times can’t believe the digging season after November you could hardy scratch the ground there with a backhoe it would be frozen solid not to mention having to possibly move snow first. For those that do go to dig don’t forget to bring a screen just like gold classification makes it easier great video and finds thx for sharing see you in the next one 👍🏻👊🏻
Is it safe to get here in a car? The roads looked pretty smooth.
Pricks leaving rubbish is what has shut us out of places here in Oz Bill.
Wont be able to go anywhere soon
Nice video . I love Arizona
You’re not real serious about gold as you are about enjoying your life. Makes you even better.
I always bring a garbage bag and as I go along I pic up other peoples trash. Its unbelievable to me the amount of trash slobs leave laying around. Sickening. I say a $10,000 fine (like in MA) would be a great start!
Good to see you up in the shade my friend. On our "crown lands" the fines run from $500 to $10,000 and up for littering. Hard to enforce though as our bush roads are extensive and their manpower is already stretched. Those stones are amazing.Certainly worth the effort.It’s always a treat to see you two my FRIEND. Take care now eh !
Nice little treasure ! Thank!
I live 30 minutes from the Herkimer diamond mine here in New York state where the name "Herkimer diamond" originated.
People say it’s a lot of fun doing it and it’s fairly cheap I’ve never tried it I’ve been wanting to get my wife to go and give it a try I think it might be fun! As much as I love finding gold here in New York state I’m not allowed to keep it belongs to the state! Don’t get me wrong I can find it but I have to turn it in to them! Millions and millions of acres of wilderness here in New York state with rivers everywhere to possibly find gold in but it’s hard to see the point in doing it.LOL
Love the look on Tammy’s face when she found that crystal! Made me excited just watching her! LOL
Oh my.. looks interesting what can be found. Thanks, guys….
Looks like fun, but I surely don’t understand the "digging season". I understand seasons for hunting, and in Alaska they have seasons for gold dredging to protect the salmon fisheries, but I don’t get it for digging crystals….
wow that’s was cool fam. something new for me. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
good stuff
Thanks Bill for another great video. Isn’t that area around Happy Jack? Nice collection you two have found and not even be able to dig. Thanks for sharing one of your adventures with us and taking us along.😎👍👍👌👌⛏⛏
I can almost smell the Pines from here! Went out this morning just south of Mayer for about 4 hours 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. before the heat of the day pushed me out. No gold.
Anytime you can get out and "scratch around" is still better than vegging out. Nice specimens.
that would be cool , you two did good great vid
Looks like you are enjoying your retirement, I’m 4yrs away from mine and I’m going to be just like you, keep em comimg
It’s the same here go out in the woods and find loads of garbage and I remember when you never saw
that, people use to clean up and take it with them.
Great video Bill . Hurry up Monsoons !!
Great video Awesome area have a wonderful trip Bill & Tammy
I know what you mean mr. Nugget shooter if you could please let the people know if they’re going to pack it in pack it out thank you and I appreciate you
Crazy Bill!! Jus had a flash back to that place..me and my chick where there a week ago and love it!! Geodes,Jaspers and Crystal’s ….u get to talkin to the locals up there…they might even point you in the right direction for great spots to hound around!! I’ll definitely be back up after the first for more adventure up there!! I was jus as excited watching u 2 finding minerals!! Keep a Eye out there for Bigfoot!! 🤪⛏🤪🤪🤪⛏🤘🤘🤘🤘
I’ve thought of going to the woods with an empty trailer bed just to bring trash back. That would make nugget shooting worthwhile. But nuggets are nicer.
Yeapppp Times Have Changed NS
“Lots of Trash Everywhere”
Nice Big AZ Gems 💎 🧊🔮
👍🏻🤠🇺🇸
good show bill
Enjoyed watching. Great looking specimens. Looking forward to seeing your return when you can scratch a little deeper. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.
I keep thinking of the trash, it has to be a sin of the soul, not to respect the land. It is my Second or third time to watch the video, the song “How a Great thou art” keeps coming to mind.
