    This may be a goofy geology nerd idea, but it seems you could print a small-scale topographic map of just your claim area and mark each vein/outcrop you can find with its Strike and Dip like on a geologic map - basically, a short line showing the angle of the stone layer from vertical and which direction it is running. Once you get a lot of those mapped you'll be able to trace the veins of stone as they run back into the hillside or head toward grassy slopes where you can't see them yet. Google strike and dip, it's interesting when you see what it can do. Just a thought!

    Do remember to re-dress those wedges on a grinder or with a file. When the ends of drifts get flattened over like that (like the end of a badly hammered fencepost) small slivers of metal can spall off them when hammered. They can be travelling fast enough to cause a nasty injury.

    • @markpashia7067

      Yup, especially good reason for eye protection. I am finding eyesight a problem in old age and cannot stress protection enough. It is really limiting. Losing my driving privileges would end me where I live. And one of those bits of metal at the wrong angle or spot could be major.

After that realized condition of it and grinded it down so it wont happen again.

    Awesome specimens. Just a word of warning, watch out for mushrooming wedges and chisel heads. It seems harmless but those chips can fly off when struck with a hammer. They have enough velocity to go through jeans and hit arteries, eyes and do all sorts of nasty things! Just grind the burrs off as they form and it'll be a lot safer.
    Keep up the fantastic content 👍

    • @FangBlah
      @FangBlah 2 роки тому

      The same goes for metal stakes, like those used for concrete forms, only in that case the softer metal of the stakes get hammered into a mushroom head with razor sharp edges that can slice you open with ease.

      Yeah, I could picture an jewelry artist making carvings like a cameo out of that white stuff or a bead artist cutting that up and tumbling to round it and drill for beads. It has a beautiful quality. Maybe not pictures, but useful and usable for other purposes. Imagine all the shapes you could cut before tumbling to smooth the edges. From dice to balls to eggs to multifaceted stones and then polish edges or tumble. Mix some whites, blues and other shades of pieces to alternate when stringing. Just saying that none of it really should go to waste unless it crumbles.

    I first panned when I was a teen. I lived next to a river, that unknown to me at the time, was fed from a known gold bearing stream. I found enough to be interesting but very low volume/size. No pickers but, enough to snuff up.

    Stihl makes a chainsaw that I use to cut 24 inch thick concrete retaining blocks or bin blocks. It has a diamond tipped chain and a water hose connection to keep dust down and prolong chain lifespan. They are pricey and the saw is heavy enough to make its own downward cuts. Thought you might be able to use one while you were waiting on your permits to be approved. Love your videos and your enthusiasm, very inspiring.

    (“BC OCEAN”) is really Jasper, an aggregate of microgranular quartz and/or cryptocrystalline chalcedony and other mineral phases, is an opaque, impure variety of silica, usually red, yellow, brown or green in color; and rarely blue. The common red color is due to iron(III) inclusions. Jasper breaks with a smooth surface and is used for ornamentation or as a gemstone. It can be highly polished and is used for items such as vases, seals, and snuff boxes. The specific gravity of jasper is typically 2.5 to 2.9. Jaspillite is a banded-iron-formation rock that often has distinctive bands of jasper.

    You can also "start" the crack line by carrying along a small angle grinder with a diamond blade. Score a straight line across the top, then drill wedge holes! The deeper the score the more you can control the crack! 1/4" to 1" score depth. The idea behind here is you create a path of least resistance! Your brakes will be as clean as you can!

    Dan, I've done a fair amount of stone work. In general do not hit each wedge three or four times, hit each once and then in sequence. Take your time. And I normally use a 2.5 or 3 pound wooden handle hand jack,, sledge. A 4 pounder is too heavy for my tastes (I am only 6'4" and 280 pounds) A 3 pounder hits just as hard, and tires less.

      Are there any local prospecting and mineral clubs you and your dad can join? That would be the best approach to getting started. They also usually have club claims that members can prospect on and do group trips. They have meetings that will put you in contact with people that can walk you through the process of finding claimable ground, filing the paper work, fees and all the other bureaucratic BS. The clubs usually charge a small monthly membership fee but worth it. Good luck, I hope you guys have fun.

    Dan reminds me of “ The Crystal Singer “ by Anne McCaffery . Sci fi story about Crystal prospectors who keep cutting and packing in spite of danger from serious storms.

    Reminds me a bit of Opal seams. Used to get slabs that artistic types would paint scenes on ...Painted ladies we called them.

    Love seeing Dan Hurd on Sundays. Always enjoy the videos.
    My Stanley Cup bracket has my Carolina Hurricanes meeting the Oilers in the finals. A 2006 rematch.

      If my Canes don’t make it and your Oilers do, they’ll have my support. 👍🏻

    Well you still have some. Have you considered working with any Flint nappers on UA-cam to see what sort of beautiful things they could make with your beautiful ocean picture stone?
    Those chips look like they would be kind of awesome for doing some pressure flaked arrowheads... But I am no knapping expert (just a napping expert).
