    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?

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  Рік тому +1

      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.

    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.

    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.

    I believe the turquoise blue mineral with the malachite is chrysocolla (KRIS-uh-ko-luh.) It is a copper silicate.

  • @SingleMalt77005
    @SingleMalt77005 Рік тому

    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?

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  Рік тому +1

      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
