    This is without a doubt THE most exciting, fascinating JTV episode to date! Thank you so much to Brian, JTV, and Natalie for sharing this wonderful experience! It was great that Natalie climbed the ladder to provide scale for the rhodochrosite vein, and really special that she got to mine her own souvenir.

  18. sharon on October 30, 2021 at 12:04 am

    Bancroft in Canada would be nice or one of many in Nova Scotia. This was a great journey and a complete eye opener. And Fun.

  19. Mark Whittum on October 30, 2021 at 12:04 am

    Road trips are fun!

  20. Kari Boudreaux on October 30, 2021 at 12:05 am

  23. Susie Hanson on October 30, 2021 at 12:09 am

    One of your best videos. Great job. More like this please.

  24. Bryan McLaughlin on October 30, 2021 at 12:09 am

    Who would dislike this video? You should interview collectors.

  25. can I stop on October 30, 2021 at 12:10 am

    horrid music

  28. Sarah on October 30, 2021 at 12:16 am

    Took me a while to get to these mine videos but I am so glad I did. I felt like I was going on an adventure with you and this and the collector’s edge video were so amazing to watch!! Very glad I finally had the time to give these the attention they deserve, and I hope to see more of this in the future (and maybe visit these places myself!)

  29. Sam Mind Body and Soul on October 30, 2021 at 12:16 am

    Soooooo exciting should be on the discovery channel!

  30. Jeff Hapeman on October 30, 2021 at 12:16 am

    It’s "prill" not "propel" that is loaded into the holes. How do I know this? I’ve done this job. Hard work but lots of fun.

  31. shermdeazy on October 30, 2021 at 12:17 am

    I love helmet hair! Lol Great episode, wonderful passion!

  32. Jeremy Prater on October 30, 2021 at 12:20 am

    This is by far my favorite video I’ve watched on your channel. Thank you!

  33. robby debeuf on October 30, 2021 at 12:22 am

    glad you enjoyed your mining adventure. did he say 1 pocket every 100 days? i had no idea of the scarcity at this location

  34. Peace Leaf on October 30, 2021 at 12:23 am

    Wow !! Thank you. I was wondering how a person would check a hollow sounding spot in bed rock. Drill and diamond saw to it. Oh boy! 😉 Awesome video! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 :):) 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

  35. Sammy with a Why on October 30, 2021 at 12:23 am

    This would be a great series, just going to different mines and touring them

  36. KeeningThoughts on October 30, 2021 at 12:24 am

    I remember the episode where you had a lovely carved opal piece. And it makes me wonder if jewellers or artists who carve with stone or minerals really know where their specimens come from. And how appreciative they are of the work that’s gone in to unearthing the pieces they’re working on/with.

    I live in Southern Ontario and I’ve wanted to go to Bancroft for a few years now to go rock hunting in the public areas. This just makes me want to do it more!

  37. Carriedaway on October 30, 2021 at 12:25 am

    That was so cool, thanks for sharing your adventure with us! ⚒💎🧨❣️

  38. NAK on October 30, 2021 at 12:27 am

    You’re quite lucky being the first tourist in the mine. You should do more of these Gem-ventures someday. Maybe at the Crown Jewel Mine in Thunder Bay, Ontario. It’s only one of nearly several localites in the world where the leek variety of Quartz, Prasiolite comes from.

  39. Mary Austin on October 30, 2021 at 12:29 am

    Would love to see you how to India Ruby mines

  40. howie516 howie516 on October 30, 2021 at 12:30 am

    Well I have to say this was one of my favorites, Natalie I’m jealous, I picked the medical field but so much fun with you Bryan and Graham, thanks so much!

  41. Em A Viking on October 30, 2021 at 12:31 am

    This video cured my anxiety.

  42. The Crystal Caravan on October 30, 2021 at 12:31 am

    Awesome video . What nice guys!

  43. Bandit Deluxe on October 30, 2021 at 12:32 am

    TLDR: Aubrey plaza finds rocks

  44. Air on October 30, 2021 at 12:32 am

    YES! Keep this content up and let’s see a ruby mine next! This kind of educational and travel content is what we crave. There aways needs to be an element of growth and evolution to a channel to keep it’s spirit alive and this is just the kind of next step in production we want to see it go.

  45. Norman Hirtle on October 30, 2021 at 12:34 am

    I loved every second of this video. Thank you for bringing us along.

  46. Johnny P on October 30, 2021 at 12:34 am

    Natalie’s enthusiasm here combined with her beauty… just beautiful! Yeah… I’m in love with her! 💕

  47. Low Flying Potato on October 30, 2021 at 12:35 am

    Sounds like the first time you ever left pavement.

  48. OnePieceNation on October 30, 2021 at 12:37 am

    You do know that the beginning of this video is abracadabra to most people for the rest of the world uses metric. Please use metric or both next time, for I have now idea what 5000 feet is. Anyway back to the video.

  49. Herleena Hunt on October 30, 2021 at 12:40 am

    Very cool. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

  50. MD Rivera on October 30, 2021 at 12:41 am
