MeMiner, you are a terrific rockhound and your calm soft-spoken narration is a pleasure to enjoy. I learn a great deal from you for which I am most grateful.
You really got a variety of minerals. I liked the jaspers you put your foot next to. Keep the fun and adventures coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒
It would be interesting to see what the "heavy rocks" near the end would look like cut. At least on my screen, they looked like some deep blue/purple color areas in them. Nice.
Hiya Greg, awesome video and beautiful stones, some of those beautiful stones would make awesome cabs. Even if you have to stabilize them. The first jasper you tried to get but was stuck, was very beautiful, you probably got some of it. Those stones and crystals are so beautiful. I hope you have a awesome blessed day. Cya! 😺🐟 out! 20:57
The specimens you collected, were very cool, and I admire your enthusiasm for investigating such a place ..because I know I would never ever go into it. Lol.Thanks for sharing.. ❤️☮️
Great video once again me miner. I’m getting a new metal detector soon (currently using AT MAX) and am deciding between the equinox 800 and the manticore. If the cost wasn’t a factor, would you choose the manticore over the equinox?
I would vote for the Manticore, if for no other reason than it is a better build. The 800 will damage more easily. I have not used them side by side enough to say the computer is better, but suspect it is.
20:46 thanks for sharing this video. Looks like the old miners were following a vein system. I just wonder if it has been properly explored for potential new ore? Did you find any drill ore near by?
I watched some of your older dissolving videos, any chance you have ever worked with peridot and basalt? I just want to clean it up a but super worried it will make the peridot fall of the host rock, its kind of fragile😂 any suggestions would be amazing
How were old mines discovered in the first place? I am sure there were many 'dry holes" like in oil and gas drilling, but surely there were ways to make educated guesses even in the early days. Coal was probably easy, since you could seams at the surface. But what about early mineral mines?
Thanks. It really intrigues me. I noodled a bit on Google and learned there are mines from thousands of years ago, so by hook or crook we humans have been mining forever and getting better at it all the time.@@meMiner
@@meMiner the copper was concentrated not enough to set that Garrett carrot off . I’ve been running Kooteney’s river with black light can’t wait for this fall for the river gets low
some fluorite fluoresces white making it hard to tell it is fluorescent, some only fluoresces under short or UV but not the other, and some will not fluoresce at all. just on appearances id say you do have fluorite.
Another great adventure pal.
I live vicariously thru you my friend.
Enjoy the journey’s.👍🏻
Thanks 👍
MeMiner, you are a terrific rockhound and your calm soft-spoken narration is a pleasure to enjoy. I learn a great deal from you for which I am most grateful.
Thank you kindly!
Some pretty stuff, a rock hounds dream !
the cube like clear crystals with red in the middle..that is something I haven't seen before. Just beautiful.
You really got a variety of minerals. I liked the jaspers you put your foot next to. Keep the fun and adventures coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒
That big jasper should look great sliced and polished....winter project
Wow, beautiful minerals galore! There's nothing like malachite green! Very enjoyable, thank you meMiner!
Holy jumpin' dynamite! What a sweet looking bunch of beautiful rocks!! Nicely done, and all the best, Lanny
And Lanny, I plan on going back this weekend to see it again. ;-)
That was an awesome explore Greig. Love the finds. That was a great tip you shared also. Take care and best regards always.
What was the tip? I missed it
Nice Finds !!!!!! Beautiful area
Oh yeah sweet finds! Thanks for the fog in the woods tip! I know where to go now!
I love color. Beautiful finds. Cool info about mist and mines. The jasper by your foot was my fav. I’m glad nothing collapsed…whew. Thanks.
Oh thank you!
Always take that pretty Jasper!! Lovely blue stone. Wow!!
Thanks 👍
Sweet sweet adventure beautiful area and more knowledge sweet wow got some magnificent finds that you for adventure
You find the best mines. Thats amazing all the different kinds of rocks you found. And i love the puddingstone wall. 😃👍
Thanks 👍
wow I love the ones at the end.. Those are wicked..love to find stuff like that
I've seen that blue green on rocks and the wiring harness of my old Audi. The good and bad of blue green!
Amazing specimens. Thanks for sharing the adventure...
That was super cool. Thanks for showing
It would be interesting to see what the "heavy rocks" near the end would look like cut. At least on my screen, they looked like some deep blue/purple color areas in them. Nice.
Loving the speculite and other metalics
Good job 👏 👍
A lot of fun!
I enjoyed this adventure 👍! You unwrapped some beautiful specimens!
Thank you kindly!
Great finds. Must be nice having these cool places to mineral hunt. Nothing in my area of the U.S.
I love the purples of blues. Beautiful! Be careful in the mines 💜

Cya! 😺🐟 out! 20:57
Amazing specimens, thanks for sharing as always!
Glad you like them!
Bet those will clean up nice great find
I like all these videos 👍
The specimens you collected, were very cool, and I admire your enthusiasm for investigating such a place ..because I know I would never ever go into it. Lol.Thanks for sharing.. ❤️☮️
I loved it in there but not sure I would go back. The collapses got my attention.
Wow wow wow amazing place . Great video as always 👍👍🤘
You've help me so much finding different spot to go mine thanks again for that 😁
Happy to hear that!
I would be coming out with buckets of the stuff you are discarding lol.
Going To Have To Get The Dog's Back Pack's And Help You Out LOL.😂👍✌.
Very cool rocks
Pretty Pretty 👍👌
Fantastical
Like a kid in the candy store
4:46 great zonation.
Love your fans, and followers!👍
Do you know anything about cripple creek,col.?
Mint, test sight. I went down the molly kathleen shaft. Viewed inside gold mine.
Not a place I know anything about
WOW!!!💚💙
19:28 nice bornite.
7:25 there are times where a much bigger hammer comes in handy. Small sledge!!
Yeah, but more to carry. lol
15:42 this is where I get worried, standing water and the risk of bad air. Time for a multi gas meter!
I believe the turquoise blue mineral with the malachite is chrysocolla (KRIS-uh-ko-luh.) It is a copper silicate.
8:42 I’ve seen specular hematite associated with a gold deposit near Bagdad, Arizona. Make me wonder!
There was some gold at this mine
A nice change to look at some cooper minerals. Is there any chance of turquoise, or chrysocolla?
Not at this place that I am aware
Great video once again me miner. I’m getting a new metal detector soon (currently using AT MAX) and am deciding between the equinox 800 and the manticore. If the cost wasn’t a factor, would you choose the manticore over the equinox?

When did you do this? Dogs? Could help pack it out? 😋 loved it!
Dogs stayed out and played in the lake
20:46 thanks for sharing this video. Looks like the old miners were following a vein system. I just wonder if it has been properly explored for potential new ore? Did you find any drill ore near by?
I didn't find their drill core
@@meMiner 😕
17:06 time for sulfuric acid to plate metallic copper.
Do the acid test on the suspected calcite, I do have specimens of non-fluorescent fluorite.
It bubbled
Maybe the cubic appearing mineral is adularia. I think of adularia as hydrothermal feldspar.
interesting. I will look that up
12:19 getting into a decent heading.
Yahoo! Do the dew
Massive
I want tailings samples. I’m setting up my own lab and I need practice.
10:57 I wonder given the dark color of the clay how much Cu is associated with it.
I watched some of your older dissolving videos, any chance you have ever worked with peridot and basalt? I just want to clean it up a but super worried it will make the peridot fall of the host rock, its kind of fragile😂 any suggestions would be amazing
No, sorry
@meMiner appreciate it, keep up the great videos!
✌ it's a mist ery
lol
2:51 that looks like a breccia.
How were old mines discovered in the first place? I am sure there were many 'dry holes" like in oil and gas drilling, but surely there were ways to make educated guesses even in the early days. Coal was probably easy, since you could seams at the surface. But what about early mineral mines?
Surface mineralization was a good indicator to explore more. In some places that had calcite, they would follow it to see what was on the edge
Thanks. It really intrigues me. I noodled a bit on Google and learned there are mines from thousands of years ago, so by hook or crook we humans have been mining forever and getting better at it all the time.@@meMiner
5:26 fluorite?
You ever take black light in ? And do they set off a Garrett carrot?
Almost nothing glowed under UV there. The pyrite set off the the pinpointer
@@meMiner the copper was concentrated not enough to set that Garrett carrot off .
I’ve been running Kooteney’s river with black light can’t wait for this fall for the river gets low
How deep are you? Do you know how old the mine is?
I'd post that but it would ID the mine. Sorry
some fluorite fluoresces white making it hard to tell it is fluorescent, some only fluoresces under short or UV but not the other, and some will not fluoresce at all. just on appearances id say you do have fluorite.
I guess I should have tried short and med wave to see. I am so used to fluorite that I collect to glow easily from long wave
Thank you! But the video is not complete without "Siiiilver!" 🥰
You are right!
Rock addict...
6:11 it looks isometric. Time for some acid.
