You really got a variety of minerals. I liked the jaspers you put your foot next to. Keep the fun and adventures coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒
It would be interesting to see what the "heavy rocks" near the end would look like cut. At least on my screen, they looked like some deep blue/purple color areas in them. Nice.
20:46 thanks for sharing this video. Looks like the old miners were following a vein system. I just wonder if it has been properly explored for potential new ore? Did you find any drill ore near by?
Great video once again me miner. I’m getting a new metal detector soon (currently using AT MAX) and am deciding between the equinox 800 and the manticore. If the cost wasn’t a factor, would you choose the manticore over the equinox?
I would vote for the Manticore, if for no other reason than it is a better build. The 800 will damage more easily. I have not used them side by side enough to say the computer is better, but suspect it is.
MeMiner, you are a terrific rockhound and your calm soft-spoken narration is a pleasure to enjoy. I learn a great deal from you for which I am most grateful.
some fluorite fluoresces white making it hard to tell it is fluorescent, some only fluoresces under short or UV but not the other, and some will not fluoresce at all. just on appearances id say you do have fluorite.
I watched some of your older dissolving videos, any chance you have ever worked with peridot and basalt? I just want to clean it up a but super worried it will make the peridot fall of the host rock, its kind of fragile😂 any suggestions would be amazing
Hiya Greg, awesome video and beautiful stones, some of those beautiful stones would make awesome cabs. Even if you have to stabilize them. The first jasper you tried to get but was stuck, was very beautiful, you probably got some of it. Those stones and crystals are so beautiful. I hope you have a awesome blessed day. Cya! 😺🐟 out! 20:57
How were old mines discovered in the first place? I am sure there were many 'dry holes" like in oil and gas drilling, but surely there were ways to make educated guesses even in the early days. Coal was probably easy, since you could seams at the surface. But what about early mineral mines?
Thanks. It really intrigues me. I noodled a bit on Google and learned there are mines from thousands of years ago, so by hook or crook we humans have been mining forever and getting better at it all the time.@@meMiner
@@meMiner the copper was concentrated not enough to set that Garrett carrot off . I’ve been running Kooteney’s river with black light can’t wait for this fall for the river gets low
The specimens you collected, were very cool, and I admire your enthusiasm for investigating such a place ..because I know I would never ever go into it. Lol.Thanks for sharing.. ❤️☮️
Nice Finds !!!!!! Beautiful area
Another great adventure pal.
I live vicariously thru you my friend.
Enjoy the journey’s.👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Wow, beautiful minerals galore! There's nothing like malachite green! Very enjoyable, thank you meMiner!
That was an awesome explore Greig. Love the finds. That was a great tip you shared also. Take care and best regards always.
What was the tip? I missed it
You really got a variety of minerals. I liked the jaspers you put your foot next to. Keep the fun and adventures coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒
That big jasper should look great sliced and polished....winter project

Like a kid in the candy store
Some pretty stuff, a rock hounds dream !
20:46 thanks for sharing this video. Looks like the old miners were following a vein system. I just wonder if it has been properly explored for potential new ore? Did you find any drill ore near by?
I didn't find their drill core
@@meMiner 😕
Thank you Greig for all the nice videos. See you and more videos tomorrow💯🙏💯
Going To Have To Get The Dog's Back Pack's And Help You Out LOL.😂👍✌.
Amazing specimens. Thanks for sharing the adventure...
the cube like clear crystals with red in the middle..that is something I haven't seen before. Just beautiful.
Great finds. Must be nice having these cool places to mineral hunt. Nothing in my area of the U.S.
I've seen that blue green on rocks and the wiring harness of my old Audi. The good and bad of blue green!
Sweet sweet adventure beautiful area and more knowledge sweet wow got some magnificent finds that you for adventure
I would be coming out with buckets of the stuff you are discarding lol.
You find the best mines. Thats amazing all the different kinds of rocks you found. And i love the puddingstone wall. 😃👍
Thanks 👍
10:57 I wonder given the dark color of the clay how much Cu is associated with it.
I want tailings samples. I’m setting up my own lab and I need practice.
wow I love the ones at the end.. Those are wicked..love to find stuff like that
Oh yeah sweet finds! Thanks for the fog in the woods tip! I know where to go now!
15:42 this is where I get worried, standing water and the risk of bad air. Time for a multi gas meter!
Loving the speculite and other metalics
✌ it's a mist ery
lol
I love color. Beautiful finds. Cool info about mist and mines. The jasper by your foot was my fav. I’m glad nothing collapsed…whew. Thanks.
Oh thank you!
That was super cool. Thanks for showing
Holy jumpin' dynamite! What a sweet looking bunch of beautiful rocks!! Nicely done, and all the best, Lanny
And Lanny, I plan on going back this weekend to see it again. ;-)

I enjoyed this adventure 👍! You unwrapped some beautiful specimens!
Thank you kindly!
17:06 time for sulfuric acid to plate metallic copper.
8:42 I’ve seen specular hematite associated with a gold deposit near Bagdad, Arizona. Make me wonder!
There was some gold at this mine
Bet those will clean up nice great find
Maybe the cubic appearing mineral is adularia. I think of adularia as hydrothermal feldspar.
interesting. I will look that up
MeMiner, you are a terrific rockhound and your calm soft-spoken narration is a pleasure to enjoy. I learn a great deal from you for which I am most grateful.
Thank you kindly!
6:11 it looks isometric. Time for some acid.
some fluorite fluoresces white making it hard to tell it is fluorescent, some only fluoresces under short or UV but not the other, and some will not fluoresce at all. just on appearances id say you do have fluorite.
I guess I should have tried short and med wave to see. I am so used to fluorite that I collect to glow easily from long wave
Thank you! But the video is not complete without "Siiiilver!" 🥰
You are right!
Amazing specimens, thanks for sharing as always!
Glad you like them!
Always take that pretty Jasper!! Lovely blue stone. Wow!!
Thanks 👍
12:19 getting into a decent heading.
2:51 that looks like a breccia.
A nice change to look at some cooper minerals. Is there any chance of turquoise, or chrysocolla?
Not at this place that I am aware
Do the acid test on the suspected calcite, I do have specimens of non-fluorescent fluorite.
It bubbled
When did you do this? Dogs? Could help pack it out? 😋 loved it!
Dogs stayed out and played in the lake
I like all these videos 👍
4:46 great zonation.
7:25 there are times where a much bigger hammer comes in handy. Small sledge!!
Yeah, but more to carry. lol
Pretty Pretty 👍👌
Fantastical

No, sorry
@meMiner appreciate it, keep up the great videos!
5:26 fluorite?
19:28 nice bornite.
Good job 👏 👍
A lot of fun!

Cya! 😺🐟 out! 20:57
Very cool rocks
Rock addict...
Yahoo! Do the dew
I believe the turquoise blue mineral with the malachite is chrysocolla (KRIS-uh-ko-luh.) It is a copper silicate.
How were old mines discovered in the first place? I am sure there were many 'dry holes" like in oil and gas drilling, but surely there were ways to make educated guesses even in the early days. Coal was probably easy, since you could seams at the surface. But what about early mineral mines?
Surface mineralization was a good indicator to explore more. In some places that had calcite, they would follow it to see what was on the edge
Thanks. It really intrigues me. I noodled a bit on Google and learned there are mines from thousands of years ago, so by hook or crook we humans have been mining forever and getting better at it all the time.@@meMiner
Massive
I love the purples of blues. Beautiful! Be careful in the mines 💜
WOW!!!💚💙
How deep are you? Do you know how old the mine is?
I'd post that but it would ID the mine. Sorry
You ever take black light in ? And do they set off a Garrett carrot?
Almost nothing glowed under UV there. The pyrite set off the the pinpointer
@@meMiner the copper was concentrated not enough to set that Garrett carrot off .
I’ve been running Kooteney’s river with black light can’t wait for this fall for the river gets low

I loved it in there but not sure I would go back. The collapses got my attention.
Wow wow wow amazing place . Great video as always 👍👍🤘
You've help me so much finding different spot to go mine thanks again for that 😁
Happy to hear that!
Love your fans, and followers!👍
Do you know anything about cripple creek,col.?
Mint, test sight. I went down the molly kathleen shaft. Viewed inside gold mine.
Not a place I know anything about
