    As a long time mineral collector in Maine and NH area, you are absolutely correct about currently open collecting locations being closed in the future. These famous mines are great locations to take advantage of while still open to collecting. Wish I was closer! Beautiful specimens and informative video.

    Great video! I think we are headed out that way sometime soon. I have a quick question for you on gold prospecting. I am starting to fine a little gold but it is very very fine, any suggestions on finding a little more chunky stuff. I have been finding the fine stuff on inside corners of the drywashes.
    Thanks Red

    • @IBRAKEFORBEDROCK
      @IBRAKEFORBEDROCK  Рік тому +1

      Some areas can be completely void of chunky gold, and only have fine gold. The opposite stands true as well. If you are dry washing, it could be too much air or too steep of an angle on the tray. Bigger gold will drop out before smaller gold. Sometimes the gut of the creek can have good size gold. Or you may just have to find a new area that has chunky or gold.

      @rrrrsorry8408 Рік тому

      The question needs more clarification since I run the red cloud mines group, I’m the one that you will be seeing if and when you come out to collect I’m always getting asked why I don’t film myself removing mineral specimens whether it be at the redcloudmine or one of our other mines? That’s quite a simple answer. I only have two hands. I would much rather have both of those hands free to extract, high value, mineral specimens without damage. Believe me when I tell you, we’ve tried we have strapped go pros to our heads, our helmets, our chest, rigs, arm, rigs, and even had people trying to film over our shoulder. It is just impractical I can tell you from first-hand experience most of the extraction videos you see are either staged and/or done where the mineral specimens are hard enough to go after with one hand, having no fear of damage.
