A little video on cleaning and initially inspecting dug silver ore rock specimens. The same principal applies to most self collected rocks and crystals.
Let them soak for about a week in vinegar. Just enough acid to eat away anything not mineral. I have 2 ore sample soaking as i write. ty for the reminder,need to go check on them.
Hello, you could put a metal paint mixer on your drill and gently agitate the water back and forth when it's in the bucket with warm water and soap. Just a thought I had while you were talking :).
Love your show, watch it all the time. What do you do with all you silver nuggets and ore? I know your buddy made a dorey(?) bar but you must have tons of it by now.
you can get both super iron out and muratic acid at Canadian tire fairy cheap. I found the SIO works good for removing the green oxides from the nickel.
Around where I live, the best price on muriatic is at a swimming pool supply and TSC for Iron Out. I am sure there is somewhere better for Iron Out, but usually I am just happy to find it.
@@meMiner there is a company that sells almost everything with delivery to any part of the country!Here is their website! alphachem.ca/Chemical-List/ Such a treasure for those who look for chemistry for any kind of applications!And by the way they sold me recently damn 8 GALLONS of 70%HF instead of LITRES-so in fact I just don't even know what to do with such a huge quantity!And the most ridiculous thing is that they are sometimes selling several times different quantity of the same product but the small size is more expensive in TOTAL ..So,I got for example nitric acid 68% 0.5 litres for $75 Canadian-than asked about bulk and they sold me a gallon of the same 68% nitric acid for $73 Canadian!So just beware of such things-I currently am puzzled just how to pour some HF out of that barrel at least in smaller container but that weight makes me really damn scared-I just imagine what can THAT amount of THAT scary shit do to everything around it if somehow it will flip and drain itself on the back yard-especially if the flood will make it to the garage made of aluminium after running several metres over the concrete and gravel👻🤤☠☣ I guess I need to go to dollarama and buy some HDPE spoon-obviously the largest one-or just a handle for pans and just grab it that way to drain some of the Devil's kimchi😈 Dang it I even catch myself on the thought about assembling my own FOOF apparatus after receiving that package😈😈😈At least it seems like a way to use some of it's fluorine content😂☻
Hi, what is the type/brand of 'pinpointer' you are using the video. I'm an Expat in Mexico and have access to an old Spanish silver mine that is predominately Ag2S (as is most silver ore in Mexico). Thanks in advance.
I mostly use a Minelab GPX5000. I have also used a Fisher Gold Bug SE and recently a Fisher F75. The GPX is heavy, but gets a bit better depth. The F75 has the best target ID. The Gold Bug is simple to use. They all work
@@meMiner I have small ,electric,2000psi .straight attachments is not so good,but turbo make concrete and bricks shiny. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I think it's incredible the way he finds these rocks with silver in them. What did you say Daisy?, there's nothing to it? That you know where there's a bunch of them? Yyaahhooooo!
I'm just hoping to buy are gold rock..this rock is got in our provice,,here in the philippines zamboanga city...please help us..thank you and god blessed
???? Look youngin, you need a rock hammer, a mortar and pedestal, piece of platinum wire, an alchahol lamp, some flux and a blow pipe. Crush a chip to power, dip the platinum wire in the flux and dip it in the powder and hit it in the blow pipe flame. Color instantly tells you if it contains silver!!! That works everyday on every rock ;) Clean is irrelevant!
Look, they don't want you prospecting so they are not gonna teach you how! Find an old book on how to use a blowpipe. They old timers could walk up to a mouth of a creek, pick up one of each different kind of gravel and tell you in a few minutes every mineral of value up that entire watershed!!!! They didn't find all those mines by accident ;)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience and for answering my amateur's questions.
You answered my question. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video

Very interesting, sir. Thank you for your demonstration and instruction
So nice of you
Always interesting!
Thank you 🙏
Very interesting your easy to listen to thank you so much for all your expertise
So nice of you
ชอบคลิปคุณมากคะคุณทำได้ดีมาก

You're a very nice and intelligent guy, you're welcome, my friend stays with God.
Very nice comment. Thanks much!
I have used wire brushes on rocks and quartz and they leave residue behind that make it hard to tell what I'm looking at

I guess I need to go to dollarama and buy some HDPE spoon-obviously the largest one-or just a handle for pans and just grab it that way to drain some of the Devil's kimchi😈

I usually use a Garrett Carrot. I have two of them.
Can you send sample
i use it on alot of my specimans for most part..
What again is the pink material on the rock? Please answer...thx
Pink is an indication of oxidized cobalt (erythrite).
I need you help I think I have silver ore tried smelting it but turned black what does it mean
It depend upon what process you used and what minerals the ore was combined with. I have a video posted where a friend made some bars of dore for me.
Which detector are you using to find them?

Hi, Where do you purchase super iron out in Canada. Thanks Gerry Sent
hardware stores Walmart
CT, TSC, Walmart...it is hit an miss if they have it. Usually stocked close to where they have CLR
sir show the chemical
they solve stone
How about pressure washer with turbo nosing for cleaning?
It would probably work great.
@@meMiner I have small ,electric,2000psi .straight attachments is not so good,but turbo make concrete and bricks shiny.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Iteresting indeed. And, that wire brush for the drill is called a wire cup brush. The other type is called a wire wheel brush.
Hello asitle çözmek işini yaparmısın
What is something like that worth
One benchmark is the melt value of silver (spot price less cost to refine). Normally, on a good rock the collector value is higher.
That wire whatever it is thing on the drill it's called a wire brush drill attachment
I think it's incredible the way he finds these rocks with silver in them.
What did you say Daisy?, there's nothing to it? That you know where there's a bunch of them? Yyaahhooooo!
They are getting more difficult to find, but it sure is fun to try.

Good luck with your business/adventure. I think you will find that folks how follow my channel (and me) are not interested in investments.
Could you teach me how to extract silver from its ore at home
There are other channels who specialize in refining silver. I have only had mine melted into Dore bars. I have never tried refining,

You will always find more precious if you use soap and water. Making friends
true that
