Why are there Garnets Everywhere on this Beach! *New Adventure 2024*

Those Garnets look like fish roe

My son went panning for garnets with his grandmother, my mom, about 22 years ago. He ended up making me beautiful jewelry using wire and tiny jewelry tools. I love your video ❤

It would be really cool to have an aquarium full of garnets on the bottom!

Nice! When I was a teenager living in Pr. Rupert, my dad brought home a whole pile of garnets he found while collecting oysters on the beach. He got me interested in rock collecting, finding agates near Monte Lake. All your videos are so educational and enjoyable.

As a kid I used to hunt tiny red garnets in the sand of the dry Rillito River bed in Tucson, we called them "sand rubies".

Hiya Dan and thanks from Ontario. Seeing all those garnets just prompted me to thaw out some roe for fishing tonight👍

We used to find tons of almandine garnets while gold panning in Vermont. I used to save all the big ones but stopped after accumulating a gallon freezer bag full. Some of them were pretty big, nearing walnut sized. Same as in your area though, all the big ones were so dark they looked black. The tiny ones and fragments were a great red color though. Those hardrock specimens you got at the end are awesome!

I'm profoundly rock n mineral obsessed and can't go anywhere without bringing A rock back!

I just got done panning out some garnet sand from the Baltic sea and I absolutely love how it turned out. The material from the area typically doesn't have too many bigger garnets in there but that doesn't bother me too much. Cool thing about the sand from there is that there are (small) chances of gold, platinum and other gems like zirconia to be found there. Also, this was actually the first time I've ever successfully panned something! I've tried before once but didn't know at all what I was doing. After watching your videos for a while, looking closely at what you're doing while you're panning and thinking a littl about the theory behind it, it finally worked for me!

theres a beach near me called ruby bay, its an ancient vent for the dead volcano edinburgh castle sits on. you can find garnets if you look hard enough

Thanks Dan! You answered one of the questions I email you about a while back. I wasn't sure how the different claim types worked and you answered that.

Very happy you get to spend so much time out in nature! Thank you for sharing it with us!

As a biologist, I kind of approve of those rules for taking material out. That does seem like it would protect the river from the more unscrupulous greedy people. That said, I'm also one culprit for your depleting garnet supply. I think I should get my order in just a day or two. Cheers from Finland! (We also have garnets here, but I just loved the look of yours.) :D

You had me at 'prospecting, panning and metal detecting'. These are just some of my hobbies !

The gravel is so pretty once you got the sand off and was mostly garnets. The garnets in the rock is also very pretty. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Garnets vary depending on the quality. A 1-carat garnet with inclusions could cost around $500 while a cleaner garnet with a more rare colour could cost between $2,000 and $7,000 per carat. More rare garnets, like demantoid and tsavorite, will cost more.

Pfeiffer Beach in California is known for its purple sand due to the concentration of garnets. I'm going to get there one of these days!

Good afternoon from Ireland 🇮🇪
