Digging for Douglas Lake “Diamonds” which are actually quartz Crystal points. They do however look a lot and even form similar to Herkimer Diamond crystals in New York but this is In Tennessee!! They are Quartz crystals that have decayed out right on the surface!
If you would like to experience this location, please watch to the end of video and check out the directions. Do you want to be sure to only go when the water is down, which is usually during winter.

I ended up finding this whole channel because this is in my area and I was looking for rockhounding videos here… Now I’m all sucked into the channel lol.
Do these crystals show up under UV light? Could you go out at night is my question.
there are rubys there also
I’ve grown up around douglas lake, we always thought these were glass lol, its a man made lake so it just never dawned on me.
Got tons of them Douglas diamonds in just about an hour and a half
So cool!! Sadly, I’m not even KINDA close to there. By the way, THANK YOU for picking up some trash while you’re collecting! 👍😎
I’m so glad you take Matrix along on a lot of your adventures. He definitely adds some fun to the videos.
Is he a registered support animal?
Wow i love you puppy and your beautiful stone i really love diamond or cristals stone
Pls what is the use of those crystals thanx🌺
I hate that boat ramp. Lots of snobs there

Went there today with my youngest daughter. We had a blast searching for these crystals
you should eat some acid and go crystal hunting. you will be able to see them more easy
Enjoyed watching again today !
Nice finds! Hope to check it out someday !
Douglas Diamonds… whaaaaaaaaaat!
This location was fun, y’all be sure to go check it out while the water levels are low. In eastern Tennessee!!
i lowkey wanna peel the skin from your hands
I’m going to check out this place, because I don’t live too far from there, I love watching his videos, it’s better than watching any sports
Cannot wait for you to come back to Tennessee…
Can you please show me your area which continents are you on
To chime in on this location, you can only go within a certain time period of the given year. The TVA ( Tennessee valley association ) lowers the level of the water in the lake at certain times of the year. They start around October and it becomes able to be walked across around the end of December. I want to say they start raising the level of the water back up around the end of march or beginning of April, but I’m not 100% positive on that.
I recently found a piece here that is crystal clear, in the shape of a triangle the size of my thumb nail, and it had 3 different colors of mud inclusions in the same piece. Red, yellow, and grey. It’s perfectly shaped to be wrapped and made into a necklace 😁
Hi 💓
several rubys have been found near the campground
your dog is so cute omg! 😀
I thoroughly enjoy watching all your adventures. The way you get so enthusiastic and stoked when you find something epic, I LOVE IT!! Douglas diamonds is a great name, because it’s my son’s name! Rock on and keep having a blast honey!! I look forward to seeing more of your encounters. 😊
i am moving to Tennessee in 2 days i am strait up the bat going to cumberland caverns to find fossils hoping for ammonite /trilobites
I can’t seem to find the exact location of this video. I have went up twice ( I am about 1 1/2 hours away) and I did have some pretty good luck at the location I went to… but I would love to find this one I turned past the dam store went up the road to the big boat ramp and type of campground for rv but that wasn’t the spot either. Can someone please give me directions how to get where he is
Have you ever went to any Kentucky areas for gems?"
What are they worth?
I love how derpy and cute matrix is
I found more today here!! What can I use to clean them up??
You can find arrow heads there as well
You can also find native American artifacts on Douglas as well. The last time that I was there I found several clay marbles and arrowheads
Hey i have a question. Indian boundary campground up near tellico plains TN. You can find on the beach and in water perfectly squared off rocks the size of dice that are heavy for their size. I thought iron but they are not magnetic? Do you know what they would be?
If you were to send these out to get cut for a ring. Who much do the companies charge?
It’s daimond?
Thanks for this, my wife and i went there today and had a great time, and found some nice crystals
Thank you so much for sharing places in TN! Everywhere I go hiking and creek walking, I’m always in search of signs of any minerals or interesting-looking rocks. All I’ve really found, though, are some crinoid fossils up in northern middle TN and a solid geode somewhere in East TN. I’d give anything to know where/how to find some good stuff close by!
Ive got friends who live in Maryville TN, ill need to stop by next time im down there.
I’m nadine Chandler’s cousin I have a super duper big collection from Douglas lake would you like to see my collection I will be in Maryland and Delaware in early November
Dog and crystal that’s why I watching this 😅
