Better than a Tshirt? Pigeon Forge Gem Mine 2021

let's see if we can find us some fancy gems i've often said what's better than a t-shirt a lot of people reply what about love as the t-shirt guy who loves his wife who better to attempt to answer that very question the pigeon forged gem mine was one of the very first dates mindy and i went on here's some pictures of chris and mindy when they went to the pigeon forge gym mine from way back in 1999 how young they look there you can definitely tell that chris is trying to impress mindy because he's wearing long sleeves and pants look at that but yeah it was my first time ever gem mining mindy had been a couple of times but you know we'd only been dating for a couple of months it was a lot of fun [Music] look at how young those two kids were [Music] what do you think we'll find i was mean to getting your fortune told [Music] this is fun i open at 10. hello the way it works now is you pick out the bucket based on the type of stones you want to find the one or two types of stones listed on the each bucket are what you'll find the most of but there's basically a mix of everything in each bucket for this trip mindy and i picked out the 35 bucket which is the cheapest we got the emerald and aqua marine [Music] bucket [Music] so [Music] they have bigger buckets they're more expensive but you get more guaranteed in them they seem to have a good variety of what's inside plus some of them come with things like free cuttings the most expensive one i saw was two hundred dollars as you can see some of these bigger buckets have guaranteed stuff on top so you can kind of see some of the stuff you're getting wendy's gonna find us some fancy gems only two just bring back any memories yeah there's almost nothing in there i remember that being the case yeah i'm pretty sure that's something don't tell anybody i got some emotions i got something in there i don't know if it's good enough get one more scoop [Music] you ready i don't think so i think i saw something in that story aquamarine yeah emerald and aquamarine i think what it i think there's a big one in there now oh man oh well i'm not completely sure i think that's some kind of quartz but it could be though i think i said anything could be in it yeah it's a there's just one pretty i mean it was guaranteed or two i don't know that that's really anything that will keep it [Applause] um [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] are you ready [Music] [Applause] [Music] wow [Applause] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] let's pick [Music] three bears fun land oh cool guess i could go to the three why don't

going on i'll check it out in a minute oh got a keychain of a stone that's nice i gotta oh that's nice across necklace i think on some of my size it's more of a choker huh it'd be kind of tight yeah i

love grab bags around here are crazy for them actually i wonder if i can kind of link these two necklaces together to actually fit maybe it's just the things are gonna be it's more of a boys size i think cause all very fun i highly highly recommend grab bags yes i do too okay i guess should i hook it first and then let me put it over here because it's big enough now okay i can just loop it over there it doesn't want to hook there so i'm going to leave that to you because you might perhaps have magic touch all right okay perfect that way i can choose you can choose which it'll be what'll it be today this day or the bear day let's go pick up this ring and see what it looks like i'm excited i know mindy's excited to see this ring this camel's excited too to see it oh yeah it's wide open now yeah yeah yeah the openness is more like what we experienced before in the past you excited to see what this looks like yes i think it's going to be very pretty nice fancy ring i know let's see what we got ready yes oh wow look at that sparkle that is very pretty some aquamarine aquamarine just think that beautiful ring we were over there mining for it the other day and now here we are that's beautiful though seriously thank you not as beautiful as you though all right so as you guys saw mindy got some pretty cool jewelry and she got something else really cool that we just showed you that was a lot of fun um as we said that was one of our very first dates it was probably either the second or third week we were dating maybe maybe a couple of months after we started dating actually because of the clothes i'm wearing i don't know but i don't think we've been dating very long at all when we went there that was a lot of fun though and it was fun to go back and relive it and as you guys saw we got some cool stuff in the grab bag we got some cool stuff all these stones and maybe one day we'll have to polish them the rock tumbler i think is what you use yeah it's fun it's not tumble yes mindy's done it before but i never got to so it'd be fun to try sometime it was definitely a fun video though take me down memory lane with this beautiful woman and all these years later we've been still together i guess i guess must have been the gemstones it must have been the gemstones all right i guess that wraps it up guys we do appreciate you watching if you've ever been
