Because of you i started my channel 3 years ago , now 86.000 big fan gr Brian
Ty is awesome.
Thank you very much for sharing this with us.
You two guys and meMiner are my three favorites.
Sure do hope you are really going back to Colbalt Ontario to Autumn.. ♡
I am thinking of getting into hunting for stuff with my 7 year old son. I figure it would be something fun to do together. (Anything to get him off the couch , and off the video games!)
And I am new to metal Detecting, What things should i know before buying new detectors? And does anyone have any Suggestions on what kind i should buy? I am going to be buying one for my Son (almost 7 years old), My Wife, and Myself. Any Help would be greatly appreciated! I dont want to buy a bunch of stuff and find out its all knockoff brand garbage or something lol
I recommend the Fisher F11 for the youngster and F22 for you and the wife. A are respectable for their price point. The F22 is actually a detwctor I'm adding to my arsenal for underground :) sorry it took so long for you to get s response! I currently run a Makro Racer
My kids love this channel. Especially my 6 and 8 year old boys. One has a cheap metal detector and we hope to get another one and go on adventures. Thanks for all of the educational videos and for being CLEAN which is rare for UA-cam. I appreciate having things to watch with my kids that get them loving the outdoors more. It also gets them asking questions about the civil war and history and learning more. They are always digging the yard. Hopefully we will get to bigger things. Haha. Thanks so much.
To answer all the questions about refining it. The short answer is... you don't. Silver isnt worth much as a metal these days, but nice specimens from Cobalt can be worth a pretty penny; due to having a major historical significance for Canada with native silver. Over 500,000,000oz was taken out of here. Its even a Parks Canada National Historic site because of it and all the things that happened because of the silver boom!
Back to refining for a sec.. the hard part about refining silver from here is there is arsenides and cobalt to deal with. Cobalt does not seperate from silver easily. It was a major problem back in the day, luckily.. lots of it was so pure, it could just be melted down and deal with normally. They used cyanide though in the refining process here. And one mill used mercury, ALL of them just dumped out the other end of the mill, so there is major pollution. That's why I tell everyone you don't wanna eat a fish you catch here lol
Great info. Thanks and take care.
Thanks, Ty, that was helpful info. It's interesting that the cobalt was such a nuisance to remove. Now it's a more important commodity than silver.
Your enthusiasm was fun and interesting to watch!!
I really enjoyed this video!
Of course your song, as always, is a winner!
Fantastic! I look forward to seeing what you will be doing with your specimens.
🧗♂️ I hope your back is feeling better! 😊
Thanks Chigg!
I subscribed to your partner a while back!
👍✌🖖🍻💰😎
Another nice video. Great adventure. Thank you for sharing. Happy Hunting Everyone. 👊🏻😜🤘🏻
@Aquachigger I probably don't need to mention this, but be careful with the acid on the silver - it will react. 😌
I like Ty, and will check out his channel... Thanks for the great vids. GL, HH, and as always, travel safe! 😎
I use vinegar usually to etch some carbonates away. Sometimes muriatic and water mix
Oh, cool, more Ty. You guys have such a good time together it's fun to see, even if you're just looking at crumbly bits of rock.
Check out my channels! Chigg will be back too :)
Send a piece to Cody's lab to find out how much silver there is?
I hope you got that lg. Pc.of silver that fell off the lg. Rock.at7:00 mark. The bendy piece.
He got er!
We love rocks here!! We do collect any cool ones we find when we come apon them!!🙆😌 But , Man! Just thinking all it takes to get the silver out of them to make solid silverware and rings and things!✨🙌✨Super Cool ,Chiggster!!!😉🙅💥✨

Hey chig, I do concrete foundations for work in southern Ontario and the excavator dug up tons of old stone ware bottles and turn of the century glass medicine bottles I was able to keep them. I got permission to go back and detect the property. If your ever in Niagara I can get you permissions to detect our job sites if you're interested.
That's a good offer, our history isnt like south of the border, anything pre 1900 is a score and a half!
Digging silver, so he says, but hunting the elusive mithril in the Mines of Moria is what he is really seeking. We hope you found all that you hoped for Chigg and MOAR. Just don't go putting a permanent kink in your back, trying to haul out too much. Thanks for taking us along, this place is so awesome looking, it takes me away to magical realms every time I see it. Have a great day!
That place would drive me crazy, I would be cuttin that place to dust with a jackhammer
You got a couple? I'd be down haha
Guys that's like silver heaven makes you go crazy well you stay blessed and I'll see you on the next
It is, but not the best mine to find it! It doesn have lots in the walls here though that you'll basically never get out haha
Would love to know how much silver you refined from that ore beau 😍
I'm gonna say none. I make a point to explain to everyone that comes here that silver ore as a specimen from Cobalt is worth a small fortune because of the history. Not worth it to smelt it!
How do you clam the silver? I'm thinking crush it and run through sluice.
Ty mentioned people pay big bucks for a piece of bedrock with a 'lightning flash' of silver running through it. Worth way more than the weight of pure silver. So find a vein, cut, polish, sell, cash in. :)
@@ashmaybe9634 yepper, because it's from a historic town (it's a parks Canada National historic site -Cobalt. Certain mines are off limits for collecting)
Hi Ty. You guys not letting Meminer play any reindeer games?
Hahaha! He had some Daisy games to play. Unfortunately, this is not a place for a pup. He was close by though :)
Never did this but seems it would be very interesting. Love how you explain it. Thanks
AquaLand Relics
That's pretty darn cool!
chig another awesome vid
Please take hard hats next time y'all prospect that spot. The rock is so friable & you see how much falls from weathering.
Looking forward to the next one.
I'm not sure why he wasnt wearing his helmet this day.. I wore mine on my explore over the hill, amd the walk in.. but I think I took it off when I got back to where he was. It was super hot that day, but I'm not making excuses.
Looks like a great spot for a bit of rock climbing.
It is! The "Army cadets" used to teach rappelling here :)
Well that's pretty dang cool..
Feel free to check out my videos if you havent, lots more posted now :)
Enjoying your videos keep them up
You should collaborate with Cody's Lab to extract the silver from the ore! He's done a whole series on mining and another on metal refining.
Great video. Thanks for posting.
How do they extract the silver from the stone? Do the crush it and them heat it to the silvers melting point or do it some other way? Can any one go up there and hunt for silver there or is it something you have to pay to do like hunting to diamonds in, Arkansas?
You can come collect silver and other minerals, just not from certain sites. (It is a Parks Canada National Historic site, so some are protected) and you don't refine silver from here! Its worth a ton more as a specimen, due to historical significance :)
@@CobaltOntarioadventures Thank you for the answer to my question. I enjoyed the Video and was wondering it just anyone could do the same as Chigger did or not. Thanks again
How exciting to find your own silver !!!!!oh my goodness ,loved this adventure so much..ty chigg
Great video Chigg be safe GOD BLESS.
Your as bad as me when it comes to gettin excited Chigg. If whatever does not excite me anymore I’ll quit.
Another great vid!
I have lots more, even more intense! And he should he back this year for some good ones. I GOT A LIST!
awesome
Soooo how do you extract the silver
You dont. It's worth more in the rock as a specimen being from Cobalt!
It’s suck a great spot hope you still have more footage to share
Thanks dan
I have LOTS! (on my other channel "Explore! Underground")
Subscribed looks good will have to go through them
I find my cave videos are not popular at all, oh well I enjoy them 🥴
I'll check yours out too!
At $16.95 an ounce.... go Chigg go... it’s amazing the original miners had Ag veins more solid and much thicker that they passed over this rock.
There were some seriously amazing to anybody slabs and giant nuggets of silver that came out of Cobalt. 500,000,000+ oz total production. You can imagine!
But that 16.95/oz is for smelted sterling. Cobalt silver ore specimens are worth a pretty penny as they are!
beau was giddy there at first
Haha he was most of the days lol we had an absolute blast
That’s odd how the silver got in them rocks like that. It’s all fun Chigg.
Hi ho Silver Away!!
If I ever get a horse.. it could have no other name ;)
Hold your breath it's silver? Look out for falling rock while I pray that big rock of silver down off the wall! Get a hard hat chigg later brocephus! 😎💨
If u ever get to Tn on the Cumberland plateau holler at me Chigg we’ll go detecting.
That's a lot of work for only $16 an ounce. Stick to looking for those elusive gold coins you always mention, at $1,500 an ounce.
I'm curious about the Canadian government letting you leave the country with that silver considering it came from somebody's claim.
Its crown land with no claims. Abandoned 40ish years ago last time around. This place was mined 3 different times. They dont seem to care much about taking some silver across. We don't have high grading laws for silver like we do gold.
Hey man thank you for the video because I enjoyed it
I have 28 videos posted now if you wanna check me out on my own :s haha
Nice silver!
Lots around here! Heres some finds from this trip ua-cam.com/video/2LWeZAeV8eQ/v-deo.html
Get the AT Max silver extraction ray Beau.
Giving me vertigo... bad. Don’t you boys get dizzy? Great interesting video, but the vertigo.....
Funny you should ask.. but every once in a while, you get to a spot you need to sit down for a sec and let your head catch up to your eyes and stomach. It happens!
exciting!
Lots more on my channel!
I love your videos!!
We're finding it here; let's look over there.
LOL! Right hahaha good times
You should send a chunk off to Cody's lab
Why is this not an active commercial mine if there is that much visible silver? As an amateur gold prospector, I have no doubt that there is more silver there than meets the eye.
It was active for about 60 years total. There was SOOOO much silver here, this was stuff they never cared about. They took out like 40,000,000oz from this mine alone.. over 500,000,000oz total from the Cobalt silver camp!
Silver is so cheap at the moment it will cost you more to dig and refine than buy 999 silver eagles
Only if you take it to a refinery, if you have enough good raw ore and smelt it yourself you make good money. A friend of mine takes a box truck of old circuit boards a couple times a year to a refinery n he makes almost 150k a year just from that.
But you dont get the epic videos. And if you knew, silver specimens from here are worth a pretty penny. Way more than a standard silver coin with no real importance. I have a few chunks that if you can carry them, they're worth some bucks refined.. I was offered $3500 for my best find and turned it down. Probably around 2k worth of silver if it was refined. But smaller pieces with special features are where the cash is at.
I believe the Chigg has silver fever. I want moar! Great hunt.
Check out my videos :) (both channels)
I got some sweet silver on both my channels since this explore!
Great video Chigg! beautiful specimens My Dad had a nugget from Michigan that was half copper and silver Happy hunting man!😉
I am curious as how your going to refine the silver, do you pulverize the rock then heat up the metals?? Awesome video! Standing on those ledges has to be scary and thrilling!
Exciting! How do they melt it down? Did you get enough to make a ring for your wife? Cool beans!!😁😁
Man!! That looks like a lot of fun!!
It really is!
sorry for some off-topic comment: worth to upgrade from AT Pro to AT Max?
When you where standing on the ledge. lol I jumped back.thought I was gonna fall
This place seems dangerous 😬
Just a wee bit.. it's not a place to take just anyone, that is very true!
Has a mining company not mined this area?
Yea.. this is what they left behind :) you can imagine what they took with them.
This mine produced 40,000,000oz of native silver
You need to hook up with Cody's Lab and get him to refine it for you :)
Hey Chigg glad to see you back at it buddy. Your goin to find that bag of gold coins soon.
Love these videos
Sweet! I have 28 posted now and working at 29 :)
Chigg , you and me both have silver hair now too , a lot of value on our heads .
3 day aquachigger
People 1 minutes
Are you going to process those pieces?
oxidation is what i think you should look for in silver
You wont find oxodized silver on dark grey/black rock, not often anyways. The way to find it here is look for erytherite or annabergite. Silver was associated with nickel and cobalt, in Cobalt.
@@CobaltOntarioadventures i thought the dark grey and black might be the oxidation good to know.
Chigg looks like a mosquito in a nudist colony ..... Where do I bite first =}
Great vid! I can't wait to see what the finished items look like!
You likely wont see much of his finds, but these are mine from this trip
ua-cam.com/video/2LWeZAeV8eQ/v-deo.html
And this video is private
34 second
wish you could have gotten a boat load of silver... Thanx Chigg.. see ya on the next
He got some. He also stashed a huge piece for me to go back and get. Itll be cleaned up one of these days lol I have a video of my finds of this trip
ua-cam.com/video/2LWeZAeV8eQ/v-deo.html
First
Silvers going up to $400 oz.
As a silver collector that is very untrue , silver is at 16$ and changes by the cents .
I wish.. I'd fly everyone in this comment thread here to find your own if that was the case. I could buy Cobalt!
That mountain must have a huge amount of silver! HH
Had* this site had around 40,000,000 oz total. Its 1 of 250ish mines! The Cobalt silver camp as a whole produced over 500,000,000oz!
