I’m sorry for your loss

There are many different types of asbestos and the type they were processing here wasn’t the harmful kind. I’m always looking for other people to go on adventures with and I’ve received an invite to go back up there by a local. Hmu on instagram if you’ve got it! Insta: @origin_exploration

If you live nearby man, my wife's aunt and uncle are the "gatekeepers" up there and we go up all the time to pick through the tailings. The ATVS make it waaaay easier to get up there, it's a long walk from the gate 😆

@@Landlocked_sailorVTare they the people that guard the main building

@@thebackyardsender so my wife's aunt and uncle (Butch and Linda) own the lil red house at the main gate and keep an eye on the place. My great uncle Howard Manosh owns the actual mine and my uncle Nick Manosh manages the mine and roads in the mine.

@@Landlocked_sailorVT not that I’m planning on going there but just curious, would they ever allow someone to enter the building to document it

Thank you! I would love to join you sometime if you’re heading up there again. I didn’t get enough time to poke around, crazy storm came through right after my phone died and I didn’t find what I was looking for. If you have Instagram shoot me a message insta:@origin_exploration

@@Origin_Exploration Anytime your up this way hit me up, we live right down the road. You should check out the talc mine in Johnson too

The non dangerous type 😂 chrysotile is just as dangerous. Anyone who goes there is bonkers, if the asbestos doesn’t get and thats unlikely, then the bird shit will. A mask is a good start but you should consider the contamination to your clothes, shoes, hair, then spreading that contamination to your car or taking it home for others to breathe in. Type 5/6 coveralls. Good luck!

That’s awesome!! thank you for watching 😃 Hopefully someday I’ll be back in that area to do some more hounding!!

I wish I had had one at the time too. Thank you!!

Cry about it

Lol just went in there today and I made it back home😁😁😁

@@idek12343 haha. Went there a few weeks ago and lived. I did see the caretaker walking to the buildings as I was leaving but he never saw me. People make it seem harder to get in than it is

@@andywhynot445 fr it’s not that hard really at all we where there for like 3 hr too but the truck was gone at the care takers house

Blandford, MA

That's crazy, my dad bagged 100lb asbestos in that exact building with no PPE for 6 years and I've never heard him cough once...

It’s definitely possible haha. Thanks for checking out the channel, hopefully I’ll be posting again soon!!

All about the adventure!! I miss the road already, just wish it didn’t cost so much to travel and dig or I’d do it full time and wake up to different scenery and sunrise/sunsets for the rest of my life 💜☀️

There’s good and bad parts of every state. I was surprised by some parts of jersey. I think I just have a disdain for Jersey cause they all come up to Vermont and act like jack***es but don’t even clean up their own state…

Yes..I get that ..there the ones that move here from nyc..they give us a bad name. South Jersey is way different then what you experienced.we are the real Jersey people. North Jersey is just now considered a subburb of NYC. Its disgusting.

There is awesome places to rock hound down here..especially for amber... and also garnets plus you can find a lot of agates and Cape May diamonds the further you go down towards Cape May and along the Delaware River😊

Sorry for you bad experience here

I liked and subscribe..I am also a rock hounder

I know the feeling!! Thank you for watching glad you enjoyed it!

Still alive just haven’t been actively filming much lately or posting here,, more on my instagram.

I’ll have to check that area out when I’m back in Vermont.

Where's the kyanite there? I've been there and just found a bunch of pyrite and garnets. Some nice pieces of those, but no kyanites. The old slag dump across the road was pretty cool.

Follow the trail to the power lines, then walk uphill under the lines and look for ledge exposed.

I’m not sure where that is, this was near tower city I believe.

Thank you and thank you for watching!!

Life can be terrifying, but that’s what makes it so interesting!! Thank you for watching!!

Crinoids!! I found some near Murfreesboro also found a few geodes!!

Thank you for watching!!!

Wonderful video 😊 i go rockhounding in germany but it is so different what you can find here. Not so many agates, but some jaspers and many fossils.

Thank you!! I would love to rockhound in Germany someday. On my list of places to visit.

Thank you for watching!!

The mine was shut down because the power cost to run it outweighed the material produced. EPA had not labeled it a hazard until the late 90's well over 10 years after it shut down.

Guess it’s a good thing I wasn’t collecting at great swamp then

At Loudville I mostly just sift through the loose material and carefully check for crystals. If you do find a vein I would suggest a 3lb and 5lb with a set of cold chisels and pry bar just be careful where you choose to hit while trying to extract a piece, work from farther out away from pocket!!

If you’re trying to break open pieces to expose crystals it’s very difficult to achieve without fracturing or completely breaking crystals unfortunately. (In my experience)

Thank you man, was cool meeting you too.

Thanks 🤗

We all die

If you have ever spent significant time in a house built before the 80s you have inhaled plenty of asbestos fibers. Don't think about it too hard.

Thank you for the feedback, I’m still learning as I go. I agree about the music. Not gonna lie, I was terrified and working with a dying battery cause I forgot cord in car, so I was rushing to get as much as I could before it died.

@@Origin_Exploration Yeah it is still a good video, just made me a bit dizzy, next one will be even better!

What?

@@Origin_Exploration I guess that means you never made it back. I'll round up a search party for you LOL🤣

@@Origin_Exploration When your camera went dead you've left us on a cliff hanger. I need to know if you made it home safely.

Oh yeah, my bad. Figured if I uploaded it that kinda let ya know.

Asbestos monster got me (this is not the asbestos monster responding)…

Thank you for the correction.

Heck yeah, thank you! I went back through a couple weeks ago, but now I’m out in Arkansas heading west but if I’m ever back out that way I’ll look you up. Wish there was a way to direct message people on here.

Thank you Scott. It was brutal, but worth it!! (Headed back today for round 2)

Great video! We went on July 8th and had very similar finds!! There's some neat golden healer and blue phantom bits we found too! There is literally no photo or video one can take to show how steep that hike is!! Brutal but 100% worth it!

@@lanakelly5875 I've done that hike several times, I live about 45 minutes from there. When hiking up steep hills, take short steps, like heal to toe size steps. It doesn't burn out your quads, and since your muscles aren't reaching muscle failure you can breath easier and make to the top in much better shape. It seems slow, but slow and steady wins the race. You can go up hill like that for hours.

@@chrisf7639 I will have to try that next time! Thank you for that tip!!! I also learned not to touch the white berries.... They rolled into the pocket I was digging in, and since I didn't see them come off a plant I thought they were snake eggs or something.. turns out they were poison sumac berries!!

Fair enough

Why??is it so you could be one of the lucky bastards sitting in your own shit, waiting on somebody to stop by and change your diaper??

@@Fuckjesuits2407 crazy lol not how it ends for everyone homie

Thank you!!

I thought the same thing 🤦🏼‍♂️I’m still trying to figure it out. Thanks for the feedback
