Helmet dudes need to make an alarm clock so I can wake up as stoked as they are.
Aquamarine is so damn pretty! Massive thanks to all of the miners that unearth these beautiful specimens for us to enjoy.
I don’t know how I only just found this series but it’s so good! I’m so glad there’s a lot more of it to watch. I’m so glad Tracie is okay, she’s a very strong woman. Thank you for making this series, can’t wait to see the rest!
I love how every single person is having fun doing what they love and extremely knowledgeable it’s a Aquamarine A Team lol
What bravery, after such a horrific accident, to get back up there and get back to mining!! She's got some grit about her!!! Great Aquamarine series btw
I'm no miner but I am a Jeeper, and the road up Mount Antero is one of the most spectacular Jeep trails I've driven. I guess we have you folks to thank for building that road and making sure the Forest Service keeps it open. Thanks for doing that and helping to ensure this spectacular mountain remains open to public access.
Awesome!!
when they tinged the crystals I was like they are bros for life 💕
why hasn't this channel blown up yet
One of very few shows worth watchin on youtube
Thanks Carlos! We appreciate your support
I too love this series. The people are real with real problems and real accomplishments. They are a tough breed to work in such a place that is both beautiful and dangerous. The director and cameramen are brave as well to be filming in this harsh environment and we appreciate and it adds another level of awe to the show. So glad to see the show is continuing. Keep them coming!!
I am so sad ... I waisted 57 years , when I could have done this .... I'm just so sick to my tummy , thank you for posting this amazing life you share with us , thank you ... my Goal : next life ...do this .
Your father and grandpa rock! God bless you family. Get that gemie
just found this channel tonight and wow I’m really impressed by the production level, I’d expect this from something on the discovery channel! everyone on the team is so fun to watch
I love seeing the mountains goats in Colorado. They are so majestic.
This is how a reality show should be produced. No BS. Just gettin down to business. And gettin er done! Rock on!💪
We're glad your getting better
I really miss all the people and gem hunters from the Weather Channel show, Prospectors! It's been years since they canceled that show due to the cost of producing it. That was a very sad year for my reality TV but to have stumbled onto this channel and know that you guys were in that series, I am on cloud NINE!
That’s what I love Colorado…. Plenty of beauty and surprises!
Tracie's remarkable, survivving and getting back up there.
Glad to see you are back and the Mrs’s is recovering from the accident. Great family show of real people following their dream. Well done.
Killer episode🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Thanks Noah! Tracie is glad to be back in the mix! We appreciate the support and glad you like the show!
@@mountanterotreasuresproduc1895glad she recovered, please make another episode, wife and I love the show
More episodes
I really enjoyed this series, the quality of it was so professional and it was really interesting to learn more about where these gems come from--I'd love to follow the lives of these Prospectors the other half of the year when the season is done. My favorite was watching the smaller two-man teams such as Ian/Jason their ethics on the outdoors and wildlife is to be admired.
I've never felt a real heartfelt moment in a mining show until this one.
I value my aquamarine pieces so much more as I watch all the work that it takes to get them out of the ground. Phenomenal glimpse into your world! Thank you for that!
Love the back story how your grandfather pioneered and created a lifeline for so many families, and the surveys which gave back to your country -patriotism at its finest. Wish i lived in the states so i could see first hand the geography where you work and maybe visit your store. Family business is the only business to be in, thats why im doing what im doing gives me something to pass on to my little ones 💯. Best of luck in your future endeavours, and i wish your wife a speedy recovery (probably years behind lol)
The story ended well for Tracy thank God. She’s made a massive recovery in a years time.
Some beautiful aqua marine
The production team did a great job. I really like the characters as well.
Think I'll be binge watching. 🙂
I'm so sorry to hear about your accident wish you the best in your recovery.....
Love aquamarine stones!!!
Ian and Jason, I like how you both get excited for each other and share in finding aqua and how happy and positive you both are. Aquamarine is my birthstone and I love it. Thanks guys for mining it!
Thank you so much Teresa for the comment, and for watching. We are very honored and excited to work for the Cardwell family. And with that being said, we are very happy. my buddy and I just have a lot of love for life in general. And with that love for life and opportunities we carry that with us wherever we go. We get so excited and so happy to find anywhere between tiny millimeter stones to inch stones.. we are just energetic type.. And with a short window of time to spend on that mountain. all we have is 3 or 4 months. So we work hard to find such great stones and it is truly fun and hard work. If you are ever in Colorado and you would like some aqua go to the beautiful town of Buena Vista Colorado and on main street there is a shop called Mount Antero Treasures on Main Street. They have all kinds of Jewelry in Aquamarine you can imagine. Or you can also get a hold of Ian and I to get some as well. We are all on Facebook 😁. Thanks again so much for the love and watching!
So happy that you guys make these!!! Its super well done and just so amazing to see the digging and learn the history, thank you!!! Its a dream to dig on Mt Antero:)
Thanks James! Great feedback sir and really appreciate you watching! We have a GREAT season on tap! Take care and thank you again!
Excellent Episode. I hope we don't have to wait 10 months for another.
I have no idea how i stumbled onto this show yesterday but I am glad i did! Dynamite and Whiskey I love it. That should be a T shirt.
Take a very soft bristled brush with you, it's a good way to GENTLY remove the water (Big Boy) so you can see what you are dealing with before you run your hands across it, I'd love to see what the lay of the minerals is before you start taking them out. And I believe a gentle brush will allow you to see the blue in the mud. Good pockets are so rare, but good pictures of them (the pockets in situ) are equally rare and good for mineralogical studies!
Gem mining for a living is such hard work but sooo amazing and pays off when you put the work in. Would love to be a full time miner one day in my life!
Love Aquamarine
man, some of these people have such great chemistry / synergy it's a treat to watch
I love this series, not just bc of the beautiful aqua but the way the dude and his wife Tracy are together and the way the guy treats his workers to me from what I can see he is a good leader and takes care of them
Really enjoying this series and seeing where these beautiful gems come from.
Side note. Glad your wife made it out of that. Talk about a walking miracle 👐
I react the way these miners do when I find quartz, fossils, holy stones and heart rocks.. more than I can count. It's great fun for all concerned...especially a family outing.
Watched the first episode and I was like woohoo new show to watch and then discovered only 2 episodes so far. Keep them coming please! Love the first two!
Episode 3 is about to drop!
Very very good 🏆👏👏👏

Thank you so much for the support colin!. Much love brother!
Gosh Traci I feel for you. Getting out there is probably your best way to heal emotionally. Drink up the love and support and feel your strength grow. Wishing you a merry Christmas and a most excellent new year.

So happy to see another episode of this! Have been waiting for so long!!! Please continue this series!
Can't wait another year for the next episode
I watched the first episode and i have been waiting MONTHS for this. WOO! I kind of thought episode 2 was never going to happen.
Didn't start the video until I commented. Accident looks rough but glad you're okay.
I love aquamarine, one of my favorite minerals!
Watching often goldrush, Aussie opal hunters. But your videos belong on that list also. So real and exciting to watch. I hope the videos will boost your store sales and open new futures, i think people would pay to prospect alongside you guys. I hope all is well and more videos will be out soon.
buenos días amigo llegué ahora me quedaré aquí vengo a dejar mi like
Awesome awesome keep the great videos coming sure glad your wife is healing up in all areas 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I got here watching mining docs in Africa, South America and the Naica giant crystals in Mexico. Pictures of the Naica crystals next to a 6' man are incredible. Anyway, I'm here to watch this adventure unfold. Those Mt goats were like give me your lunch.
I could just sit and watch you guys for hours!
amazing documentary of prospecting gemstones.
That air up there is healing in itself, just like a hyperbaric chamber.
Love the show- can’t wait for episode 3
İleri derecede tehlikeli bir ortamda iğne ile kuyu kazarak güzel Aguamarin'ler bulmuşsunuz. Başarılar dilerim.
Glad Tracie is OK, she is one of my favorite parts of the show!
Everytime I drive down to Salida, I look at Mt Antero and think of you. Jealousy then runs through my veins! :)
More more more give me more!!! Love the hunt 😍
GREAT JOB
It's fun to share in the joy when first you see the 'blues' !!
Late is better than never lol
Craig, Love the video! So sorry to hear about the accident. Thank God you both survived. Tracie is one courageous woman for returning. Loved seeing Chris and Adriana finding the big blue. @ckeilman11 I miss the mt antero adventure.
Thank you Jerry! God bless!
“We believe in leave no trace ethic.”
Also: hyped about speed melting permafrost.
This show is so sick! Love it!
I had almost given up hope of more episodes!
I'm glad to hear you are ok !! God had your back
Buy your self a Milwaukee rotary hammer drill. Save lots of time. We use those heated mats in the winter time for frost. Set it out for 24hrs boom your frost is out of the ground now you can dig on your utility’s.
Thanks brother I appreciate your coming back
