    A drop of oil on the plastic lug on the top of the tumbler barrel lid will stop you grinding plastic. I had one of those tumblers as my first and it does wear down quickly. Brilliant video. Love the polish on the silver.

    • @meMiner

    There's a parking lot for semi trucks that I know of. The parking lot is at a perfect slant and with the rains, concentrates of stack soot gather always in one spot. Within this spot I gather platinum from the regeneration process of the semis smoke stacks (precious metals on the ceramic combs).
    My point is.
    I've noticed with many of your searches your on a hillside looking.
    I'm wondering if on hills like that, if there isn't a particular spot at the bottom of those hills, where silver particulates may gather in a concentrated amount where you might be able to gather.
    (just sharing)

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  3 роки тому

      The silver that I find is pretty much sitting where it was placed by the old miners. There is some fine silver colours in local creeks, but not economic quantities. I am much better getting another larger piece with the detector than looking for sands
