Mining for Fossils using ONLY LEGO TOOLS!

there are a bunch of real fossils buried here and my goal is to dig up every one of them using only Lego tools starting with this Lego pickaxe just kidding we're not going to use this let's Google the first tool the first tool I need to build is a working Lego pickaxe this video is also sponsored by Shopify more on them later also buried with the fossils are a bunch of crystals and each one I find lets me level up my current Lego tool and also build a new one so make sure you stick to the end for some sick upgrades for the pickaxe if we can build up a shape using bricks as a base we should be able to get a good pickaxe shape it's really based on functionality at this point let me get the curved shape of this we've added some little clicky things and if we add this here and then add this here this will give it that durability okay so now we have the top of the pickaxe we just need to build a simple handle using these and then we stack those up under here put plates on the sides lock everything down [Music] just like this it is going to break apart two million pieces that's why all of these studs are on the sides here because we can do something very special walking down blades we have completed our pickaxe let's go dig up some fossils all right we've got our first Lego tool let's try and find some fossils hopefully some crystals we can upgrade this oh well that's a shame whatever the brown piece literally just broke off basically I'm just gonna dig until I hit something I'll kind of work from this side of the pile all the way down that way what the heck is this I don't even know what that is [Music] I'm finding he's cool he's pickaxes just keeps breaking I need to build a better one I paid my sister to actually bury all these so I'm really excited this will be like the first time of me seeing them what is that it's a weird route [Music] I just found something I just felt something hard in the dirt we found an actual Crystal it's just right here let's go now we can upgrade our crappy weapon go inside and make it better all right so we found our first Crystal which means we can upgrade this weapon and build another one so I'm gonna fix this real quick fix some issues we had you can see this completely broke off guys comment down below if you can tell who I look like and don't say Ben Shapiro this is now a lot sturdier up here which is where it kept breaking and then we're gonna take these they're literally just gonna build out from there using bricks this time all right we now have a level two Lego pickaxe now we're gonna build a c if I'm not mistaken a sieve is a tray with a bunch of holes in it to filter out the small dirt so you only get the clumps so we just get a bunch of Technic bricks to stack them without each other those holes should be enough to filter out all the fine debris foreign [Applause] could you find out what this is you're broke she's checking it's calcite oh interesting like in Minecraft all right here we have it's basically just a plate with holes in it I'm just gonna basically take some plates and go all the way around this make it so it's like a pan [Music] all right we have finished our sieve so we got our upgraded pickaxe in our sieve let's go see if we can find some more fossils broke already this is where we find the crystals so I'm gonna start from there because that's how archeology works let me show you how our sieve works so you take your sieve and you put dirt in we don't have a shovel yet so we're just gonna use this and then as you shake now we can look through this and try to find fossils wow that worked way better than I thought because it filters out all of the stuff that is too big to be a fossil do that without pickaxe a little bit science let's try and find some more fossils wow this pickaxe upgrade is working so good you guys don't even know I spoke a little bit too soon I really need another Crystal or gem because I just can't do enough with this pickaxe it keeps breaking it can't go deep enough so I'm going to sift around see if I can find another Gem and then hopefully build a good Lego shovel I found something I was just digging right here this is something that's pre-carved obviously but this little crystal is apparently rose quartz and it's carved like this because that's how I got it from the website okay since the pickaxe is clearly working so well we're going to build a shovel and I've learned from my mistakes I'm actually going to use Technic which is stronger Lego so here's the plan my idea is to take a couple of these pieces put them together we now have part of a shovel and then all we have to do is connect the rest of it with Technic and build a simple Technic handle and we'll have a good shovel that doesn't break every time you try and dig it into the ground I don't know if that helps us but it seems like it will so now we gotta link up the back part of this look at that it looks like a pretty decent shovel on the other side of the shovel it'd be cool if we just had a smaller version of this so it can be like a trail on one end a shovel on the other should help us out all right we got one side of the shovel done as you can see it should shove now we gotta build the small Spade on the other side we're gonna put these on here like this now we gotta fix our broken pickaxe we can go mine some more fossils all right guys it is the next day I have my shovel right here and I have my new pickaxe that I just kind of made a little bit better we're gonna test the shovel as you can see works a lot better than the pickaxe for digging still does get stuck on some hard pieces but that's what the pickaxe is for as long as it doesn't break off and hit me in the eye okay so let's start digging and see if we can find a fossil I'm digging in the middle right now and I'm throwing the dirt in the sieve see if there's any crystals in here real funny I'm gonna start right there and work my way across [Music] oh yeah we're moving some dirt now hey [Music] oh thanks no I didn't should I look right there I would okay I'll look right there thank you I didn't think this would be that hard thanks for the water make sure they use like X-rays and stuff to actually find real fossils so a couple things we have buried we have oh oh guys we found one we just found our first fossil that is so cool no I think we can find more let's do it so I'm gonna keep digging around in this area see if we can find some more but while I'm doing that I want to tell you about this video sponsor Shopify and their new Lincoln bio tool link pop link pop is a free Link in biotool that's super easy to set up and lets you showcase all of your Social Links in one place using one link you can put it in your Instagram bio YouTube bio Tick Tock patreon pretty much any platform that lets you have a link in your bio guys I found something also if you didn't know link pop is made by Shopify so if you already have a Shopify store it lets you add shoppable links directly into your link pop so people can purchase from your Shopify store without having to leave the link in BIO this is MyLink pop I'll leave a link in the description as you can see I have all of my Social Links listed beautifully in one place here's my newest video and I even have a playlist my favorite brick science episodes because they let you do that and now I don't have to waste time asking myself which link I should put in my bio because now with one tap people can see every one of my links cleanly and again link pop is completely free if you guys are interested in setting up a link pop you can go to linkpop.com or the link in the description and sign up today big thanks to link pop for sponsoring this video now let's check out what I found so I just heard back from the lab this is a mosasaur that is super cool those used to live in the ocean they might still who knows I'm sure a lot of people in the comments and this is a eucalyptus so so far I found two crystals two fossils and a load of cool rocks I'm gonna give to my mom I want a crystal so I can go in and build the next weapon yes a crystal let's go we can go build our next tool now all right guys so we got a green Crystal of some sort so that means we could build another tool so I'm going to build a brush here's the thing though Lego doesn't really make brushes so I had this great idea the cape and if we take a bunch of capes like this and we put them on a brush end this should theoretically help us slightly brush away debris but we're gonna make it motorized because I'm sick of doing manual labor now if I just add one of these like that and then on the outside some sort of cone-shaped thing now if we just push this motor right here this will help us to brush the debris off of the fossils so now we can make our pickaxe level 3 and our shovel level 2 and we can head out and keep digging with the brush all right guys I'm back on site I got my brush I got my upgraded tools I'll show you how they work as soon as I find another fossil pickaxe do this eventually things will just come up out of the dirt well it can feel some hard you're like hey that could be a thing right there but this upgrade is actually holding on the pickaxe so [Music] this you see it watch oh that is so cool that is extremely cool and kind of hot out all right guys here's what's happening we're gonna start making some major progress we did just find a crystal which means we can build another tool but I now know the area where everything is buried so it's gonna be a lot easier to find them we're gonna build a tool set which has a bunch of picks so we can get into the final details and just and then we're gonna upgrade the sieves and we're gonna upgrade the pickaxe so grab some round pieces [Applause] [Music] this one we put a spear this one we're not going to put a rod in because as you can see we can now blow so here's our set of tools they each have different functions I don't know what we're gonna do with those but it seems like the right thing to do so the next thing we need to do is upgrade our pickaxe for level four we're going to turn our pickaxe into a jackhammer by adding a motor with the weight that's offset so it kind of vibrates like this we need to make that mechanism this is like a heavy weighted washer it's made of metal we're going to take an axle really just making this up as I go put it right here that's held on there now so this thing moves around we need to add another motor though if you want this to spin faster we're just gonna have to add a little gear right there here's hoping this doesn't fly off him in the face that's working can't even hold this still it's perfect [Music] yeah guys I think we got it we have a jack the pick Hammer now we need to make the same vibrating mechanism for the sieve and then we can go find some fossils all right guys I think we just finished this let's go test our newly upgraded tools and see if we can find the rest of the fossils guys we have our maxed out tools we kind of have some markings here of where they should be we're gonna try and find every single fossil let's see so let's try our pickaxe I mean it kind of works a little better okay so it doesn't work great wow actually this isn't bad because I just have to hold it up oh all right guys I think I just Unearthed another one right here believe this is dinosaur eggshell that's it that is super cool that is a starfish fossil right there look this was cut out of probably an ocean floor or something somewhere over here is a raptor tube it is literally smaller than my thumbnail so I'm gonna have to sift through all that dirt using the automatic sieve we just built so let me set that up and show you how that works the problem is I've already kind of dug through this so it could be anywhere at this point designed very poorly I'm gonna be honest I just want to remind you guys that usually these types of projects take weeks and months if not years you kidding me I found it let's go thank you Jesus I just found the Raptor tooth right here oh my gosh that is so cool should be one right here that is a dinosaur bone this is how you do it I uh saw it in Jurassic Park [Music] oh look it's even a little bit cracked too doesn't smell like a bone we are so close let's go we got what's left of a shovel here we're just trying to dig this up the shovel's been the most useful tool of the entire video come on pickaxe you're gonna carry me through this [Music] it's right here [Music] this is the final one sword tool oh and that is the final fossil you guys we did it guys we dug fossils using only Lego tools check out this video right here YouTube recommends it specifically for you and huge thanks to Shopify for sponsoring
