- Join me (Jeff) Off The Beaten Path Crystals for a short adventure out collecting stunning fluorescent Calcite Crystals in a local roadcut. I discovered this spot a few years back using Google Earth. Each time I visit this Crystal Collecting spot it does not disappoint, and today was no different. It was a good day with good finds!!
Collect, rock hound, explore, dig and hike at your own risk.

You are full of Joy! Amen! GLORY BE
Cool place Jeff, a lot of the Niagara escarpment calcite will fluoresce. Cool little Marcasite too. I'm surprised there isn't the odd Fluorite kicking around up there. Need to find that fossilized Limestone, may have some luck there. 👍😁
Now finding Fluorite at this site would be nice, especially with the lack of club quarry trips lately.
Turns out under my digital microscope that that little plate of Marcasite was full of micro crystals.
nice finds Jeff
Jeff, great video. It’s so nice to be apart of your adventures 👏👏👏 🇦🇺
Thanks, more adventures are on the way.
a nice little spot but small, nice finds Jeff, ive seen calcite and fluorite there aswell as druzy quartz. lots of the same minerals from there all the way to niagara. enjoy your videos.
One of the many good road cuts in the area. Great video!
Rockhounder for life here
Gonna to be a big rock hounding year.
I agree. The weather is looking good where I am, it's digging time.
Awesome video Jeff! Awesome finds! I am a local Hamiltonian, I don't know exactly where this is but I have a good guess of the general area :) . Hey I was wondering since your nearby would you want to meet up and do some rockhounding this spring? I am always interested in hanging out with other fellow rockhounds and going on rockhounding trips.
Greetings from Sweden. Very interesting video! I hope you are well. Do you know what happened to your rockhounding friend caver 461? You used to be together
He got injured last fall when a tree he was cutting fell on him, don’t worry, he seems like he’s recovering but we probably won’t see him until summer sadly
@@TheFleshMetal Τhank you very much. It is good to hear that he will recover! If you Talk to him Wish him a Speedy Recovery from me in Sweden
@@TheFleshMetal You're thinking of Meminer, wrong guy Jake! Mick is Caver461 and he says in the video he is doing well and have trips planned
Mick is doing good and we have some trips planned already. We are waiting for the last of the snow here to melt to get out and do some good collecting.
Well hello again Jeff , this is a wonderful area of the escarpment and I've spent many a day hiking and cycling along the pathways in the surrounding area . Perhaps I should stop and smell the roses the next time and who knows I may just find a few Calcite creations as well. Take care and give Mick my best .
I am sure more searching of the area would reveal more crystal finds.
@@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals I absolutely agree, as you said - when you find one there are usually others .
You need to get north and do some campin soon 🤠 👍🏻
nice seeing you at the quarry Jeff May1st '24, hope you found some good minerals, any fluorite or galena? your videos as usual are great
Not much for me that day. I did find some nice dogtooth spar Calcite Crystals. Did you have any luck?
Luar biasa mantap
Well done Jeff been watching you and caver for years Any chance you can be a bit more specific with that rock cut location im in Hamilton i have never seen that spot . Thanks and cheers can't wait for your next video
Just below the 403 where it starts to go down the Mountain in Hamilton. You can see the debris in Google Maps. It's a steep and slippery hike to get to the spot.
@@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals Thanks i know the spot I was actually thinking of where to park Thanks again CHEERS
Nice finds man! I was just out in my area getting some of the same type of stuff yesterday.
I found a random vug of crystals out hiking today, new video will be up soon.
Very nice, are you finding fossils in that area too?
I did not see any fossils there. Hungry Hollow here in Ontario seems to be a fossil hot spot, usually there is a club trip to that site every year.
👍
What's that gunshot sound in the background a hammer or whatever?
What wavelength was that used? Did you note phosphorescence?
Shortwave and I believe they did continue to glow a bit after removing the UV light.
Greeting from eastafrica, My brother sent me a pictures of a honig calcite vein from on mountain and he is the only one knows where it is. can you help us if it is worthy anything for going there and digging it to make some money.
Is this easy to access Jeff? I live in Brantford, so im not to far to try and locate
It's a 20 min slippery hike with bad footing from Filman Road. The main collecting area is between the 403 and the cemetery below, you can see the rubble in Google Earth.
gotta ask - approximate location? new to this and looking for a good space to start lol
Below where the 403 goes up the mountain in Hamilton, you can see the debris piles in Google Earth.
