  • Exploring abandoned mine sites is so much fun. his is a new claim to me, but a very old mine. They mined gold and silver from this site, which includes 4 adits and one shaft (That we know of!) I managed to take a good sample of the gold bearing ore (silver too) and processed it finding both native silver and free miller gold. We had an amazing day prospecting and were very happy with what we found in this gold and silver mine.

      “The key to trading success is emotional discipline. If intelligence were the key, there would be a lot more people making money trading… I know this will sound like a cliche, but the single most important reason that people lose money in the financial markets is that they don’t cut their losses short.”

      Yeah, that's the same thing i commented. The rock dums are for lesser samples that the original miners didn't think were worth processing, they kept all the good stuff they took out already, so dan needs to get samples from the inside the mines to get a genuine reflection of what's in the highest quality samples there.

    Your love of prospecting is evident though out your videos. Keep up the work and pass on your passion to your children. A great hobby or part time adventure.
