Great video Ernie! Nice mini tour and history lesson. I hope you get some decent gold from your samples. Good gold hunting! Take care.
@@SilvasSmallMining Thanks Bob. Andre said it should be about 90% silver. We’ll see 👀
Another GREAT video. What a fun day. Thanks so much for all you do.
Ernie is great! God bless him.
@@themahoneymine Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Mahoney Mine. It was an enjoyable time. I hope we get some silver and gold from the ore. Andre said it should be about 90% silver.
Great to see it🍻 looking forward to the smelting
@@ScotlandsGold It’s great to have you here brother. Hopefully I can smelt and cupel it today. I was able to roast it yesterday. I subscribed to your channel. Thank you.

I love history!!🙏🙏😁😁
@@JayOSilvaFamilySmallMining me too 😁
ive lived by asshole mountain most of my life. I miss it before basalite chopped it down.
@@egdeltar That’s really cool, thank you for sharing that 😁
Nice to see the fam growing.
@@1ironbelle I miss you being with us and I hope to see you soon.
@@ErnieDionne I miss you all also. Thank you! I’m working on making the cookout that was rescheduled. I’m having fun with this new group of folks (you all) that I’ve met. I watch everyone’s videos. I’m still trying to get some things in place for interesting content of my own.
@@1ironbelle Good job Renay, I’m looking forward to it. See you soon.
Atmosphere, not oxygen, oxygen is a component of the Atmosphere that we breathe but not even the biggest part of it. Nitrogen is actually a bigger part.
Great video - as always.
@@themahoneymine Thank you 🙏🏼
As a kid I grew up in this area and my cousins and I would ride our dirt bikes and quads to this location and explore. The smaller cave with the door frame I believe to be an explosives locker and my dad called it “Mo’s Cave”. He said a homeless man named Mo lived in that cave for a while.
@@justinadamson1588 Thank you brother! That’s great info! Too bad I couldn’t add these pieces of history into that episode, that would’ve been great. Have a good one.
Great video and great advice.

Hi Ernie, that's called a melt
@@apocalypticdaze2139 Thank you.
Looking good indeed fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
@@GSProspecting Thank you brother. Maybe one day we all can meet. 💪🏻
Amazing video! Thank you for the shout out and support! We really appreciate it! It was awesome meeting you and the “au crew”! I wish we had more time to spend talking and getting to know each other. I know we will meet again. We will have to spend a day at my claims and get some shiny! Good gold hunting to you and everyone! God bless and take care.
@@SilvasSmallMining Yes, I’m looking forward to it. I enjoyed listening to you and Doug talking about mining laws. Take care my brother.
Nice work Ernie. The blower definitely will help. Nice “supercharger” system! Good gold hunting! Take care.
Great video Ernie! I love the history lesson. Keep up the great work. Keep cool. Take care.
@@SilvasSmallMining Thank you Bob! Yes, the history is amazing. And yeah, it was 103 degrees that day 🤪
Be sure to always check weather and flash flood warnings, Ernie! Stay safe out there.
@@zeplyn-r6 Yes Sir, and thank you for watching over me, I appreciate it.
love VC ...we got there all the time .... thanks for making the vids and keep'em coming my brother
@@Askjeffwilliams I know, you and Lila are always here and I always hope I could spot the both of you and yell, “So C’Mon, Let’s Go!” Actually, Andre at the Chollar Mine in VC is supposed to have our friend Ken Ferguson do a bunch of excavating to make more room for parking. I was told I can go and metal detect and grab some ore tailings to process! You may consider that, I think it’ll make a great episode and I’ll stand back and watch the Masters do their thing. That ore hasn’t been touched in years. I’ll let you know when that will happen. Ken’s getting his excavator from Oregon here soon for that project. And Yeah…We’ll Have Fun 💪🏻
Awesome!!! Looks like fun ☺️☺️☺️!
@@JayOSilvaFamilySmallMining It was a pleasure meeting some of your family. We all hope to meet you soon.
Very cool awesome stuff heavy pans
@@Rockymountainprospector Fun stuff! Thank you for being an AU family member, I love it.
great job my brother .... more oxygen is always the key when cupelling because you want the lead to oxidize so you are on it ..... keep them vids a coming and be safe out there my brother
@@Askjeffwilliams thank you Hero. It took me a while to figure it out. Maybe I can figure a way to flow oxygen from a portable boost container into the blower and see how that would work. It’ll be a little pricey. Thank you for your support and encouragement. You and Lila are the best!
Thank you for brainstorming with us. Also, for promoting our upcoming channel.
@@theresafletcher9637 Of course! My pleasure.
Great video Ernie! So informative. Wonderful job my friend!
@@themahoneymine Thank you Mr. Mahoney Mine
another fantastic vid my brother ....love them History vids with the old vintage Phots....have been all over that mill sweeping up around the foundations ....keep'em coming and be safe out there
@@Askjeffwilliams That’s great my brother and hero! Did you find anything sweeping at the mill? Thank you for your encouragement and support, it means the world to me.
Nice, Thanks
@@karmafarbus160 Thank you and thank you for joining us. It’s great to have you here.
The artifacts are so abundant there, one can easily make a memorable day hike! Great video!
@@gitnitdun You got that right JB!
Sketchy mine. Question, did you happen to take any samples? Looks like a heavy presence of sulfides but curious if you did any sampling?
@@theresafletcher9637 No, I didn’t take anything out. I thought about it, I had a bunch of other ore to work on and I wasn’t ready to touch any walls in that place and I was alone. If you and Michael would like to go there I’d be more than happy to take us all along. We can take the whole group too 🤗
Good stuff, knowledge is as good as Gold😊😊 keep em coming 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@JayOSilvaFamilySmallMining Thank you! Are you going to be in Virginia City this weekend with your brother? I’m going to try and meet him there.
@@ErnieDionneyour welcome, not sure yet about the trip.
Love the Dayton History
It's remarkable to think that someone had all that built, and just walked away...
@@billoc1255 Yeah, when the gold and silver dried up in this area it was common practice to dismantle everything and repurpose it at another location.
another fun explore and love that History ...we smashed that like button .... smashed it HARD and keep them videos a coming my brother
@@Askjeffwilliams thank you so much my brother. That is very special for me.
What a fun exploration. THIS is what it is all about.
@@themahoneymine Yes Sir, right in our own backyard 💙🔥
Great job!! You have a great setup and you are very good at utilizing it! Keep up the good work! Thank you for the videos.
@@dangold1998 Thank you for your kind words. It took a while to figure it all out, it still needs work. I am moving soon and I’ll set it up better. Thank you for joining us and if you have any suggestions I’d be happy to hear it. Take care.
@@ErnieDionne Sounds good and your welcome! If you are ever up around Northeast Nevada, let me know. Chase lots of gold up here! Take care!
@@dangold1998 sounds great Dan! I will.
Nice work Ernie. That’s awesome smelt work. I hope you were keeping cool and hydrated with all the heat you were working with. Be safe! Good gold hunting! Take care.
@@SilvasSmallMining Thank you. Yes, I’ve been drinking a whole lot and sometimes I get tired of drinking. I laughed when your camera went out. I did two shoots that’s coming out soon, one at the Butters Mill and the other at the Rock Point Mill and my camera went out multiple times. It was 104 the first day and 103 the second. Because of that I missed a great shot of wild horses mating at the Rock Point Mill. Keep up the good work.
@@ErnieDionne Awesome! I look forward to your videos. My wife and I will be in Virginia City next weekend for the Steam Train tour. We never did it before, so this should be exciting. Maybe we will see you there as we visit the local bars and shops. I love the mining history there. Take care Ernie and God bless you.
@@SilvasSmallMining Thank you. If I can make it to VC next weekend I’ll try to find you. We bought acre in Stagecoach and we are preparing to move but we have a whole lot of weeds that need to be removed. But I will see what I can do. Thank you for the heads up.
@@SilvasSmallMining When do you and your wife plan on arriving in Virginia City and what’s your schedule there. I’m going to makes plans on being there to meet the both of you and I will see if the AU Crew can make it too. Doug and Tonya from the Mahoney Mine just created a new FB Page, “Northern Nevada AU Crew” if you’re on FB hit it up. What names can I use to address you and your wife to introduce you? Let me know. I hope to see you there.
@@ErnieDionne We should be there when the steam train arrives. Noon time I think. Renato “Bob” Silva and my wife Courtney Silva.
Nice Au indeed fam. Keep at it. Gold Squad Out 🤠
@@GSProspecting Thank you my brother and you do the same 💪🏻
Fun video. Thanks for sharing 👍
@@jamesculver829 Thank you for being with us. I glad you enjoyed this, it was fun!
Thank You Ernie for sharing , as always this was fun to watch.!
@@DragonsAuprospecting thank you my brother. I appreciate your kind words. Keep up the good work that you’re doing.
now that was a lot of fun to watch, good job my brother and thanks for the shout out, we really appreciate it. Your the best..... we smashed that like button ...we smashed it HARD and we Subscribed as well .....keep'em coming
@@Askjeffwilliams I’m really excited that you enjoyed the process. You’re more than welcome for the shout out! The two of you deserve it! I vividly remember about 7 years ago I went to the Occidental Mine in Virginia City. I went home and went on CZcams and saw you for the first time. At that point I began to grow in prospecting, mining and geology. I hope one day I can encourage and inspire the both of you as you’ve done for me and for those who subscribe to my channel. God’s peace, protection and blessings on you and Lila.
Come on somebody 🔥
What brand furnace are you using?
@@pmann438 I’m presently using a Gongyi Furnace that I bought from Amazon. I believe it’s a 6KG. Right now they are $128.99.
@@ErnieDionne thank you. I'll be subscribing later this week.

@@gitnitdun yeah, it was crazy. I didn’t even hear the plane coming down. One moment nothing, the next thing is the plane 🤣
Nice
Happy times. Wow chunky town. I would crush the tailings well I spoke to soon.
@@soggybottomgoldprospecting3586 thank you brother. Yes, the tailings are crushed and being processed as we speak. You’re on top of your game…good job 💪🏻
That’s awesome! Congrats on the win!
@@MyScreenNameIsTroubledOne thanks brother, I appreciate it!
@@ErnieDionneI’ve spent a couple days trying to find the slim poster but it’s apparently impossible to do on a phone. Lol… I gave up. 🤷♂️😩
@@MyScreenNameIsTroubledOne lol do t give up!
Great win indeed fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
@@GSProspecting thanks and keep getting that AU my brother 💪🏻
