Welcome to Treasure Hunting Battle.
The dudes split up across the country
to look for different types of crystals.
May the best treasure win.
Woo!
[MUSIC - OH THE LARCENY, "GOOD DAY COMING"]
(SINGING) It's a good day--
We're getting bigger.
(SINGING) It's a good day--
Ah!
What guy is beating this?
We've hit the jackpot already.
Good day coming (gonna keep on).
No way.
Yes!
Good day, good day.
Boom
It's a good day coming.
Just exited somewhere in Arkansas.
Just got to the site.
We got the crystal collector here.
He's going to help us dig for some quartz.
What we're looking for is the perfect six-sided quartz
crystals, really clear.
Perfect, let's do it.
About within 10 seconds, we hit crystals.
Haven't even started digging yet.
It seems like a good size.
I feel like I'm going to win this thing in 20 minutes.
We're at, actually, one of the best crystal
locations in the world.
This mountain is just loaded.
I feel like I'm going to break my neck.
[LAUGHS]
Oh my goodness.
I see a fella.
We made it.
Very excited.
Going for vanadinite.
Roger has just communicated to me
that we're going inside the Earth.
Yeah.
Here we go.
So we've walked 100 feet below the Earth's surface.
We're going towards the end of the mine.
And that is when we found it.
This whole wall lights up multicolored
with the ultraviolet light.
Roger said, shine the black light on it
and prepare to be amazed.
[GASPS] No way.
We're here in the great, snowy state of Michigan.
We're about to meet the guy who discovered
the treasure we're hunting for.
Erik, what's up, my man?
Hey, what's happening?
This is what you're looking for.
Gosh, they look so normal.
Just look like a gray or tan rock.
When you hit them with UV light, the iron's inside of them
get excited.
Oh!
Bam!
Dragon eggs.
I feel like my whole life is about to change.
It's about to change.
It's just kind of wild.
You're out there walking on the beach like normal.
And you flip on your UV light, and all of a sudden
that first dragon egg pops up.
Heck, yeah.
Come on, now!
[LAUGHS]
Oh, guys.
We're just getting started.
It's going to be a long night in the best of way.
It is a complete game changer.
Get pumped, guys.
We are at the Quarry.
It's time to find some geodes.
Right when I started, it felt impossible.
I'll be honest, the rocks all look the same.
And when I say all, I mean all.
All right.
Let's play a quick game.
Can you spot the geode?
Go.
If this is not a geode, we're in big trouble.
That's just a rock.
I know it doesn't look it, but it's like 30s, 40s out here.
So kind of brutal.
I'm kind of staying warm.
But I'm also getting hyped.
TT, here.
We've arrived at Topaz Mountain.
Topaz gets me jazzed.
Let's go.
This is Ty out here with David, who's helping us out today.
We are getting some charges set behind us.
From what I understand, David, this is the most efficient way
to find Topaz.
Yes.
The Topaz grow inside gas pockets in the rock.
OK.
And the best way is to blast apart the rock.
A little TNT action.
Sure would be nice if I had some, like, dynamite.
It's about cheating, now.
Nice!
Got some nice rock coming down.
Time to introduce the manual labor to the mix.
Digging for Topaz is not for the faint of heart.
If I don't have blisters by the end of today, Rhonda,
I did something wrong.
We're about to dig with that.
I'm not a big manual labor guy.
He digs.
The crystals was up here.
I'll pick them up.
Bryan digs about a 20 foot hole.
We go down.
I know this is in the bag.
I mean, I know we're going to find giant crystals.
I feel like we're getting bigger.
Oh, yes.
I feel like I'm going to call it.
We're going to go play some golf together.
Garrett probably played golf the second half of his day.
Coby's going for some glow in the dark rock.
It ain't touching this.
Check out this pile I've got.
I feel so bad for the other guy.
All right.
Just googled how to identify a geode from the outside.
It is around-ish rock that is hollow-ish and has
crystal looking formations inside of it.
Here's a normal rock.
Here's a geode.
See the difference?
Started a little slow, and then eventually got some momentum.
Look at these shiny bad boys right here.
I can barely stare at the screen, that's so blinding.
I was hoping it was going to be a little bit bigger, I think.
And hopefully we'll find it.
But it's not, boom.
Rhonda showed me the ways.
I feel like I am, I'm not going to say a master Topaz finder,
but the Topaz calls to me.
Oh, Chad, we've hit the jackpot already.
My first Topaz findings.
Oh--
Look at that.
--my gosh.
I got to get this sucker out.
I got jazzed about Topaz.
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times.
Oh, guys, it's over.
Look at this.
And the easiest way to explain mining
is you're either an inch away from a million
or a million inches away from a dollar.
[LAUGHS] That's good.
I told you I'm going help you win this competition.
First of many.
I got little nuggets, tiny gem, big stones, giant cherry bombs,
baby.
It was insane!
Oh, wow.
That just fell in my lap.
Oh, yeah.
Last time we were hunting for treasure,
I threw my wife's wedding ring.
Lost it.
My wife's going to kill me.
But don't worry, babe.
Got you a new crystal.
I think I might redo my wife's wedding ring with that one.
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
[GIGGLES] Treasurers.
Please find me a clip of the other guys finding
absolutely nothing.
Started off kind of small until we hit the pocket.
And we started pulling out crystals
and just filled basket, after basket, after basket.
If this thing's based on quantity, I definitely won.
If this thing's based on value, I definitely won.
How many geodes do you think we smashed today, buddy?
Every once in a while you smash something that you think
is a rock, and it's actually geode,
and you completely regret it.
Oh my gosh, I just broke a geode.
[GASPS] Oh, I should have saved that one.
We got a nice piece, there.
That's all the hammering we're going
to do on the mountain side.
It's kind of tough for me to pick my favorite,
because I got so many special pieces.
This needs to come out.
Look at that.
We got a crystal here.
I don't know how to get around it.
I mean, if I can get that out in one piece--
what you want to do is get behind them.
Oh, crap.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh.
That's the one.
That's
Huge.
Where can we wash that?
Jackpot.
I was born to dig for quartz.
All right, guys.
There's a dandy.
Woo!
vanadinite.
Yes!
Taking a break from the vanadinite
to find wolfinite crystals.
Check those guys out.
Oh, this is nice.
Oh!
This is insane!
The whole thing is hot lava.
Holy actual cow.
Dude, that might be the ball game.
Yes.
If that doesn't win you, I don't know what it takes to win.
Oh!
We're struggling and couldn't really
find anything much bigger than, like, a small racket ball
and had to activate the backup plan.
No way, a geode.
We're saved.
We got our crystals.
Let's start washing.
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
Geode?
I think geodes are the most fun rock in the universe.
They're like Easter eggs.
Crack them open, and the fun part's inside.
That looks horrible.
That looks absolutely atrocious.
I think I'm about to get absolutely demolished.
So I'm about to do a quick spray paint job.
See you guys at the judging.
Judge time.
Boys are back.
And it's time to rock and roll.
See what I did there?
Rock and Roll?
I Brought in the crystal collector, my man, Bryan.
Yeah.
What a guy.
Bryan, why don't you debrief us a little bit on each rock type
and give me a little knowledge of what I'm judging here.
And then we'll get to the judging, momentarily.
All right.
So we've got a nice table full of stuff, you guys.
Yeah, we do.
Y'all did really, really awesome.
These are geodes, guys.
They all cut open really nice.
Geodes are worth more when they're bigger.
I have a question, because I've never seen purple.
I found a purple hoser geode.
You painted it.
What?
He literally painted it.
5 minutes ago I walked in here, saw the other guy's rocks.
And I said, I need to pivot.
Here, we have Arkansas quartz clusters.
This piece is hands down the best piece, maybe
a $2,000 piece.
What?
Wow!
Yeah.
So with these Topaz crystals, this is a really good lot.
This is an outstanding piece.
They're much, much more rare than almost anything
on the table.
I'll take that.
Looks like you just stepped off the plane.
I essentially just came from the mine.
And it looks like you went to the vanadinite section
and the wolfinite, which were also pretty rare crystals.
If I had to choose one piece off this table for my collection,
it'd be this wolfinite.
This could be a $1,000 piece.
[SQUAWKS] [INAUDIBLE].
I've been out there a few times, and I
haven't found one that good.
Hey, what we've all been waiting for.
These are yooperlites.
Yeah, they are.
Cue the lights, Derek.
Regular rocks?
Not anymore.
Woah!
Oh, my goodness.
Look at Bryan.
Wow!
All right.
Well, sparks.
Do what you will with that information.
It's going to be close.
All right.
You know how it works, boys, starting at 5,
working our way to 1.
No hesitation, 5, right here.
Take care, Cor.
See you guys.
Number 4, T paz.
[INAUDIBLE]
Would it be completely inappropriate to pull a Jesus
and flip both these tables over right now?
He just called it T paz.
Adios.
Here's my reasoning.
I don't even want to hear your reasoning.
I'm just not jazzed about the topaz.
That's all.
You lost to a river rock.
In third place, the yoops.
I expected the yoops to be a little more lit.
And the winner of treasure hunt, Gary.
No way!
I'm a sucker for quartz.
I'll be honest.
Absolutely beautiful.
The real winner here, Crystal collector.
Thank you, my man.
And a big shout out and thank you
to the other experts who helped make this video possible.
