I live in western Columbus Ohio
I found horn coral fossils in paint creek in Greenfield Ohio
Great video!!
What about the historical references of the Shawnee Indians having had two silver mines in Ohio? ( in fact the word Shawnee means silver people and John Kinzie one of the founders of Chicago, was known to the natives as Shawneeakwe or silver man because his original trade was as a silversmith) one of these mines is rumored to now be covered by a reservoir, while the other is rumored to be located in a deep ravine on the campus of Antioch College.
Awesome! Thanks, from an old buckeye!
Are you from ohio ? My dude if so lets Link up . im up in northeastern Mahoning County
Well, I’m from Ohio. And I stopped watching your video when you couldn’t get through the first paragraph without insulting us.
This might be off topic somewhat but hubby and I was pouring ‘River Rock’ stones in our dry water way from our down spout. The stones were purchased at Lowe’s Store. Anyway,I found a petrified mushroom in perfect condition. It’s about two inches tall, creamy color and shaped perfectly like a spruce. I wish I had noticed what state the stones came from. It’s now displayed in my curio. I also find soap stone here and there, on our property. We live in central Ohio. I’d love to hunt for gems,precious metals or anything that’s interesting.
WHAT!!! Nothing,,, no minerals in North East Ohio??? Land and water is good for nothing than owning land?
im in northern panhandle wv and cant find anything online about my area, can you help. hancock county wv, between pittsburgh pa and lisbon ohio
It kills me that at pow wows I see nothing but $5 natives like you. How did the population go from deep brown and copper skin to this and still be able to claim the identity of my people. That 5 dollars to get on the roll was the final nail in the coffin
I love learning about Ohio’s amazing geology, truly a hidden gem(ba-dum-ts). My dad, brother and I loved to go hiking at Malabar Farm/Mohican, it’s kinda been my second home (my dad even took his first steps there as a toddler and my grandmother used to go camping there at 16) Butternut trail has a small cave about a half mile in and if you’re not creeped out by the biggest fucking spiders you’ve ever seen you can climb through the mini cave system and come out on the roof of the cave, just watch for holes in the ground which go about 15-20 feet down. It’s a magical looking place all covered mosses As a kid I’d sit in there and listen to all the sounds of the cave, I think that cave is what made me fall in love with rocks…Also Ohio’s brown fluorite glows neon green under fluorescent lighting!!!
I am from steubenville ohio.this is good information
a chunk of gold the size of a bowling ball was found on a friends Ohio farm after a plow 30+ years ago dropped by glaciers
man i grew up in Lexington/mansfield Ohio and the Clear fork river came off of our Clear Fork reservoir..i wish i had known that there is gold there,,i would have spent more time panning for gold than i did riding dirt bikes and go karts!!
Wow i had no idea ohio had gold. Wow
I commit crimes every Sunday in Ohio, my favorite is to rob banks on Sundays, they’re closed so I don’t have to worry about hero’s and when the cops show up I tell them about the law that you can’t get arrested on Sundays, they turn right around and leave!
I have found the red gemstones in Hocking Hills Ohio
Is there anything by Lake Erie
Lost my view with tje buckeye tree
Any luck finding any gold in Muskingum ,Perry, Morgan county

Found myself watching this again . Very awesome
What part of Ohio are you in?
How does one legally hunt for minerals and gems in Ohio? Most of the locations are quarry’s, which are private property.. is this more of a just, "hunt at your own risk" type of thing?
I was raised in southern Ohio south of Chillicothe Ohio I was always told the glaciers stop about there I lived in Jackson county and vinton county we always found arrowheads in are gardens and in caves behind my grandparents house
Is this guy actually trying to pass himself off as Native American? He’s as white as I am!
cant get fish drunk ? im out
Subbed ⚒💎⚒🥰
Very informational video thanks for sharing. One question what’s stream in eastern Ohio would be the best one to hit for finding gold in your opinion. I’m new to panning and think it would be cool to find a little bit of gold. Thanks. HH. JOE.
Is there anything in wayne or ashland county? Gold or gemstones?
I went to Put-in-bay a month ago and you could see Kelly’s island so close and it was amazing!
Here in Ohio we call the Buckeye a worthless nut.
You did a very good job with this video young man 😉
I’m a mineral collector living in Ohio and have been fortunate enough to have collected at many of these sites.
You included just about everything I can think of that Ohio has to offer in minerals!!
Again, nice job and thank you for posting 😁
😎 Swag like Ohio
Love the handmade flint knife that you found. Thank you for telling me that I can turn pieces of flint that I find into jewelry pieces. I hadn’t thought of that. I would love to go find some other special rocks locally. I live near Troy, Ohio. Where can I go locally to search for some nice ones?? I love your video. Thanks for making this one about Ohio!!🤗👍♥️
I live in eastern columbis where is the best spot

Thank you for taking the time to explore my state and highlighting the various spots to collect and types of gemstones for rockhounds! 💎💎💎
The laws on shoes, women in houses and arrests on 4th of july and sunday are not true…I can tell you for sure on the arrests thing lol
Boring video. THIS SUCKS. I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST GOING TO TALK ABOUT MINERALS.
Can you make a ohio geode video?
If you’re in Ohio you can probably find a ton of fossilized shells in your driveway lol
A lot of famous people are from Ohio. Astronauts, actors and even a few presidents are among a few..
Where did you hear these wacky Ohio laws?
I hope there are geodes in southern Ohio. Still looking
Best place to find gold in Ohio is in black peoples mouths
