This was really good. THANKS!
Great video! My family and I always make an annual trip up to Grand Marais and looking for agates is definitely the highlight of the trip for me.
Hey young man, this was good, I watched the whole thing!
Great Video, thanks!!
There was some stuff in there that I did not know so cool.
I don't know, but I've always wanted to try this. I found a few spots I might try this spring up near Tower, MN.
I'll help with the pronunciations
Ely = Ee - lee
Soudan = Soo - dan
Actually the underground mine tour there is well worth going.
Beat me to it! Don't forget ely green stone! .
Awsome video👍👍
Great video. Minnesota resident here. Never heard of binghamite.
I grew up in Cook MN and found small amounts of gold when I was young up there and have found alot of agates and banded jaspers and other jaspers around hibbing minnesota as well. Oh and tons of fossils from shells and such as well as cool colored cherts.
Thanks
Ely is not pronounced E-LI but ELEE
Or zumbro. Zum(like yum) - bro. Lol
I've recovered a little over 1 gram from my secret spot (gold). Minnesota is quite underlooked when it comes to gold
Geo shhh it’s a secret
Up north ?
Fo show! 👍🏿
@@Kris-ho5jy 🍾🤣👍🏿🕵🏾♂️
Did u do that Ojibwa/native art
Hell ya, me want gold
Thanks, man! I live in central minnesota so, i think ill start hitting the gravel pits!
I lived in central Minnesota as a young teen. I lived in Pine City, we played Moose Lake in football. Anyway, thought maybe ur from that area.
Some of the best agates ive found were in a friends neighbors farm field. Maybe 20 min north of mpls
If you can find where your city or county dumps rock and gravel from construction and roads, there's agate in all those piles, just go after a good rainfall
I have actually been to a Gold Vault and there is gold as thin as Paper, I was told it was used for Awards etc. And the employees wore Steel or lead Shoes ? And yes there are Gold bars & and Gold Coins And in order to get to the place One had to traverse a narrow Passway with Surveillance Cameras Dave Minnesota
What about Thompsonite?
Does anybody know of a gold prospecting club in Minnesota that would be good
Eleeee.
1:49 Zumbro River is pronounced Zum-bro not "Zum-bo-ro".
So want to find gold fossils etc
SOW-dan and E-lie? Have you even been to north MN?
Cuyuna in Crow Wing County is pronounced ki-you-na! 😉
Just say Crosby Ironton
Here in 2024
Dude.. you butcher city name it’s Ely not Eli. Soudan…. Is no So Dan. Oldest and deepest mine.
Do some history research please. Very little gold up here. Copper and nickel mostly. EH
Sweet video! CHI MIIGWECH. I'm a newbie to rock hounding, not new to collecting. So hard to find a good picture or video anywhere. Spent all this summer and less then half last yr, trying to find an agate 😂😂😂. You should do a video of the Ordovician era. Don't find much info on that either. I live in southern MN, tons of fossils about 10 mins from my house. Funny not a whole lot of people think about coming out this way to look for anything. The morels is where we get the out of towners. Miigwech (thanks) again for the video. Nicole,🐻 Makwa💛❤️🖤🤍Dodem
What area if you don't mind me asking, I'm in Jackson county and haven't found much information on fossils in the region other than from New ulm to Springfield there's supposed to be quite a few shark teeth and possibly ammonites
He is not from Minnesota, he mispronounced almost every town and county names its pronounced sue dan
Remember he's of the woke generation so they have no clue, they've never actually done anything, but are experts about everything 🤔
You have slaughtered the pronunciation of so many of the Minnesota names. You should have done some research into the names because someone traveling to Minnesota based on finding this stuff from your video, if they asked a Minnesotan for directions based on the pronunciation you used people would look at them like they were an alien as they wouldn’t know what they were asking
If you’re from Minnesota you would have not mispronounced many towns and areas. Good information but irritating.
Please pronounce Ely correctly (eelee, not relie . If you were a native Minnesotan you should have known this. If you ARE a native Minnesotan, shame on you.
