Thanks for vocalizing your true pleasure in working with your finds. I watch quite a few rockhounding videos in a week and yours allow me to feel like Im sitting beside you with your conversations teaching me.
It's incredible how old these rock's look. I love their design. It's like they're alive in some way. Great crystals great Miner, great Daisy,,yeah. Holy cow great ending.
Love your enthusiasm it's the same as mine. The only difference is that you know what you're doing. I would love to join you for an adventure my wife and I are rockhounds and love would love to learn from you. Keep up the great content. Your hard work show's over and over again
Great to see you getting back to shiney rocks again. Awesome finds. You should write a rockhound guide book. Make a mint-just ask Caver. And you are way funnier!
Looking forward to seeing them after the cleanup, some really nice pieces there but just imagine how much better they will look when washed and cleaned with a bit of trimming up. You need to start a sellers page real soon.
Hi Daisy! She's such a good, patient girl. I love, love, love these finds. Once I find your email I'm going to get with you about some of these and those incredible apatite's from the other day. Man, you rock!! Lol.
look at that!! Wow, I think I was just as excited as you to see those treasures..You certainly give me inspiration to keep on looking..I noticed those mossies have maintained size and quantity since my last comment too..lol
@@wayne1959 Most people won't go out. I am not all that bothered and often don't even use bug spray. I also have a bug jacket that I seldom use. What I don't like is how they attack my dog. The go for her eyes and belly where there is no hair. There is no way she would wear a bug jacket.
My labby (Daisy) loves to be out there with me, but hates the bugs. When they are bad, she is happy to get back into the truck. When I get home and her eyes are all swollen from the bites, I catch heck from my wife. Last time I was camping with Daisy, she knew she would get relief in the tent. I made the mistake of putting her in and trying to metal detect nearby. She opened the screen door by herself (nice long tear from her nails) in the bug screen. $700 4 season tent. Ahhh!
Finally, another rock video!!don' t get me wrong, i love the paterns on your silver ore rocks, but those are metal detecting videos..i' m more of a rock guy!great finds!thanx for sharing!oh, and those bugs are terible to watch up close..i' m here in greece trying to save some drops of blood from these suckers but the canadian ones seem even deadlier!last thing i'm saying is between the two of you i like daisy the most...! ;)
Exciting finds. Without looking it up, did the glaciers not hit your section of Ontario? I ask as to find anything close other than cobbles here in central Minnesota, I would have to dig down through 600 feet of glacial till.
This area was once higher than the Himalayas. I think I spelled that correctly. LOL They were eroded over the eons to almost flat. During the last glacial age, the ice was over 1 mile thick. When it left, the ground rose up in spots and therefore these hills with exposed rock. A relatively short distance south is all glacial till and the bedrock is deep. Where I live is on an old moraine and my water well is still in at 158'.
Why do you throw down the small ones?? You kill me!! Lol!!! But,....WOW, THAT'S A HUGE ROCK! See your very happy!! Oh, love your hat!! Yeeeee haaaa!! The shinny ones are something else!!! Pretty!!.(can hear the vampire bugs!!)
meMiner That makes sense....I would would find a place! Ha! Ha! But then again, don't know they have little sharp, so....Oh well! :) oh, what are they?? I still can't find them in my new book.....are they black or really dark green?
You are SO true! :) Where I live now (west of Norway) we don't have mosqitos, only knot (the tiny black ones) and someplaces a lot of them. My first 35 years I lived in towns with enough mosqitos, we call them mygg, and I do NOT miss the mosqitos at all LOL So I will "enjoy" them through the screen, totally without the smelly spray. I DO feel sorry for you and your sweet dog tho
Neither my dog or I would want to miss a day of adventure. We love it and put up with the bugs. I have never been to Norway, but know it is a wonderful place. Thanks for visiting my channel.
I understand how good it is to be outside :) I have been on crutches for 4 years, waiting on hipreplacement now, and am looking so much to be able to walk again, in the forrest and at all :) Norway is nice and have many simmilarities with parts of Canada. It all depends on where in Norway/Canada you are. Your channel is great!
It takes a while to recover from hip replacement, but the surgery is usually successful. I wish you the best of luck. Losing your mobility is awful. I have heard of something fairly new here, with most people seeing an improvement...with almost no risk or averse affects. A local knee/hip specialist has been doing it to help people who have a long wait for surgery. It is called Platelet-Rich Plasma. Might be worthwhile asking your specialist about it. All they do is separate plasma from a bit of your blood and inject it into the joint. The whole process takes about 15 minutes.
bigger pieces like this one I'd usually hit with the 12lb sledge once or twice, tends to blow up less smaller stuff. some of those look like maybe epidote? possibly mebe some richterite?
For sure some fluor-richterite. Busting the big stuff with a sledge is sometimes a good idea, although I find it usually fractures any apatite before the calcite splinters.
mmm, yes, apatite is so sensitive. up here I deal with quartz and fluorite veins (never found apatite up here), so in that case using a sledge to persuade big boulders to open along the veins is more appropriate. You're right though, when I tried to apply that technique down in apatite country, I did blow a lot of apatite up. Your boulder already looked pretty eager to relent though. A good smack with a sixy might have got you those last few clusters as one or two bits. Ever hit up the Smart/Lost mine? By far the best quality (size, durability and termination) apatite I ever collected came from there. Though the gemmiest I have comes from Titanite Hill. Also got some pretty blue apatite at Canoe Lake.
I love the Millar property, although it is a long drive for me. I know someone who found large zircon. Until now, it was the best apatite that I have seen in Ontario.
Huh! I know someone who found nice zircon out there too. I wonder if it's the same someone.... :) I just spent the scorching afternoon under a tree cutting up some gorgeous lake Superior agates. Was going to do some stromatolite as well (so far it looks amazing in the tumbler after first 4 grits, I need more though before I can keep going, hence going to cut more), but I ran out of not being hot.
Zoe is a puppy or your significant other? LOL I have heard about that formula but usually don't use any spray unless the bugs are awful and I probably need something with deet.
Absolument magnifique. Pourriez-vous identifier les mineraux principaux que vous trouvez dans cette video ? En dehors de l'apatite. Merci. Xoxo de la capitale federale. . 😁
Can you do a video of how you clean the crystals from the rock after? I'm starting to really love crystal hunting and live right near a quary but I'm not sure what to do with what I find!
Sure. I have shown it in some of my collecting videos, but maybe in spring I will do one dedicated to various methods I use for cleaning the samples. No surprise, it starts with soap and water followed by either brushing or use a fabric gun. Sometimes, do a few things different such as car spray wash bigger pieces or to remove mica from garnet and some minerals like to be soaked for a while. Then there are some acids to remove stains or unwanted minerals. There. No need for a video. LOL
Great stuff! Is that white rock towards the end a big piece of calcite? Lol, and are you gonna clean them up? :) would love to see them cleaned up some. Have a good rest of the day!!
I have cleaned them and they didn't look much different on video. I probably needed to film them in different light because most of the crystals were dark. They look way better in person than I was able to capture on the camera.
meMiner aah i see i see, lol i have that issue with some labradorite pieces and this one chunk of (i think it's smokey elestial quartz) lol i can never get perfect lighting on them for pictures but they look epic in person :)
what tells you that it’s apatite? i’m trying to learn so i can identify on my hikes! to me, anything clear looks like quartz. is it the crystal structure, locality, terminations?
It is the crystal structure and colour. And of course it is helpful finding it in a place where apatite was found before. In this case, these were fluorapatite. Here is the mindat description of apatite: th-cam.com/video/sQNwrQHa8fg/w-d-xo.html
I saw this vid just after I started rockhounding and now have a question. Will you try to remove the apetite from the host rock? if so, how will you get the crystals out? thanks and havagudun my friend.
It is difficult to remove apatite from calcite without breaking it. On the other hand, sometimes, it just falls out. There is no chemical way that I know to do this without harming the apatite too. I have tried various mechanical methods with limited success.
The thing about rock hounding is it's always interesting, an adventure, treasure hunting but you don't know what you will find. Upon finding those nice items you clean them , view them , twist and turn them in the light, look at what if anything needs to be cut and trimmed, look again then put them on another shelf in tight formation to gather dust, or you could sell them on Facebook.
I belong to Walker Club (University of Toronto) and KRFC (Peterborough Zoo). I recommend that you join the closest one to where you either live or work. Otherwise, look at what they do as some clubs are known for their field trips and others for lapidary equipment, etc. It all depends on what interests you most. The thing I like is the people. Every club has some experts that are happy to share their knowledge, which is invaluable.
Thank you so much. I live in Courtice. Im not sure if there is anything close to me. I have been doing my own "Hounding" with my daughter but I want to get into some of the places that require a membership to enter. Thank you again. I love your videos. You have educated us a lot!!!
Clay can be tough digging and cleaning. A few years ago, I had a placer gold claim where the best gold was in clay. It was work to separate the gold from the clay and if you weren't careful, one little glob of clay could rob the sluice of the afternoon's work.
I know a guy who was alone ice fishing on Simcoe. He was into some nice lake trout and whitefish. He posted a video and the next Saturday there were over 300 people all around his ice hut.
Hahahaha!!! How to fish out a spot in one day! That's why I love the North, I think I've seen maybe 6 huts at the same time in my entire field of view on Superior. There's like 10,000 fish per fisherman.
She would hate wearing anything and would not understand it is for bugs. Heck, she went into my tent last year when the bugs got bad, then decided she had to join me and tore thru the screen/fly to get out. We had a bug problem after that. ;-)

I really struggled with various cameras on my older videos. I upgraded but have to watch out for scratching the lens on my newer cameras. Next purchase will be the new GoPro which has an internal gimble and better audio. It will be nice to have something that is waterproof. I am also looking for another camera that I can put onto a tripod. Suggestions are always welcome.
Thanks for vocalizing your true pleasure in working with your finds. I watch quite a few rockhounding videos in a week and yours allow me to feel like Im sitting beside you with your conversations teaching me.
Wow, thank you!
It's just lovely to see you so happy over your finds. For some reason it warms my heart. Hugs from Costa Rica!
Thanks Adriana from Costa Rica. Such nice words...
It's incredible how old these rock's look. I love their design. It's like they're alive in some way. Great crystals great Miner, great Daisy,,yeah.
Holy cow great ending.

Sure, but you would have to leave your bunny at home if Daisy is there. ;-)
These finds are so gorgeous and your happiness as ypu break the matrix to find keepables in maneageble sizes is delightful.
I got a mosquito bit just watching..... love your focus and enthusiasm... with love
My poor dog really gets bit. If there is one thing that makes her want to get back into the truck, it's the bugs.
You had a VERY good day! Can't wait to see how you clean them up and what is all there.
It was fun, except for the bugs. They are like little guards, protecting the rocks...
Great to see you getting back to shiney rocks again. Awesome finds. You should write a rockhound guide book. Make a mint-just ask Caver. And you are way funnier!
People still read books? LOL
meMiner E-book? Audio book? No, we like the more jam it in your backpack kinda book. Btw We miss Amy's singing lol
Maybe someday she will make me a theme song. Lord knows, it cannot be me singing.
You so scored wow, im sitting here going yes keep going lol, you sure did have a good day ,thanks for sharing..
Looking forward to seeing them after the cleanup, some really nice pieces there but just imagine how much better they will look when washed and cleaned with a bit of trimming up.
You need to start a sellers page real soon.
It might not be as fun if it were a business.
I love watching your videos. Thank you
Thanks Dusty!
Fantastic! How lucky to have found such nice specimens!
There's still lots more out there when you want to give it a dig.
Would be so cool to join you on a dig one day. 😁
Hi Daisy! She's such a good, patient girl. I love, love, love these finds. Once I find your email I'm going to get with you about some of these and those incredible apatite's from the other day. Man, you rock!! Lol.

Lol. My son Dylan just said , Dad his videos rock ! My little guy is a funny little fellow.lol.
Dylan is a little fella that I am sure that I would like.
love the crystals had to watch this twice :)
Thanks much!
Nice cluster separations
look at that!! Wow, I think I was just as excited as you to see those treasures..You certainly give me inspiration to keep on looking..I noticed those mossies have maintained size and quantity since my last comment too..lol
They are almost big enough to use bird shot to take them down. ;-)

I can't wait to see those after they've been washed off. Great find! Back hurt from the hike out? ;)
Funny how the back and legs don't hurt after a successful hunt. ;-)
Great video Bud love ❤😘 it wow so much fun Yes ✅ 😎👍
thanks
Check out my videos sometime I got some new ones up
Buddha?
Good work

We are all about rocks, and gold
DUDE! BRO! hadnt seen this one yet. That one little Apatite was super nice. Looks like some better than average Ambipholes too
I like, yet how do they look cleaned?
I still have not cleaned them properly. That will be a job for next summer.
Dude rad vid!! What a great day brother!

Thanks for the info, it reminded me there are granite quarries 30 miles NW and outside that there should be pegmatic areas, right? Lol.
Maybe. Could just be granite. I bet there is info on those sites on mindat.org.
Why do you throw down the small ones?? You kill me!! Lol!!! But,....WOW, THAT'S A HUGE ROCK!
See your very happy!! Oh, love your hat!! Yeeeee haaaa!! The shinny ones are something else!!! Pretty!!.(can hear the vampire bugs!!)
When I am finding clusters, I leave the individual crystals behind. Can only carry out so much. ;-)

Awesome Video,thank you!
Very cool collecting.. those mosquitos are quite persistant..I can see why you put bug spray on Daisy.
She hates it, but it does seem to help.
For her head, I put it on my hands then rub her, so not to get it in her eyes. Still, it makes her sneeze.
Man... those skeeters are ginormous!!! Subbed after seeing your vids with AQUAChigger!
Welcome and thanks!
You need bugspray on the camera too! hehe So nice finds :)

They were thick that day. I was hoping the heat wave we had would burn them off. They were just waiting in the shade to ambush me. ;-)

@@meMiner I was afraid of that. Oh well, we just look at the pretty the way it is. Thanks for the reply.
I'm finding septarian geodes and have been trying to get certain crystal beds to break free but they keep falling apart when I try.
That is a problem when the host rock is as hard or harder than the crystals. Also calcite makes it difficult because it flexes and the crystals don't.
@@meMiner I have been getting better at getting the nice pieces to stay intact while removing host rock. Practice.
Cool video...
thanks much
Thoes are so pretty!!
I can't find "anthibole" in my books. Is there another name for it. What wonderful finds. Havagudun my friend.
It is what we call it locally. I think the proper term is Hornblende
@@meMiner Ahh you are correct. Found it right away. Thanks!
meMiner what tools do you normally use when you harvest for crystals and rocks?
Hammer and chisel for clusters. A shovel or hand spade for individual crystals. Sometimes a classifier/sieve.
thank you
Can you show your collection in a video?
I should do that but would need some good lights because the good samples are inside.
@@meMiner ok, I understand
Is there a site where we can purchase some specimens?
Not by me. I do this for fun.
Bummer, those are somenice crystals!
Awesome finds,I spray my dog too or the bugs drive her nuts, hence affecting my day.Thank you very much great stuff
Daisy hates bug spray. Sometimes though it is necessary to do something to help her out. I hate looking at her when she has live eyelashes (bugs).
The thing about rock hounding is it's always interesting, an adventure, treasure hunting but you don't know what you will find.

That's a big one
I have not heard that for a long time. LOL
I wish I was there
I've watched a bunch of your videos and only negative I see is you need a better camera! I'm pretty sure about that. Otherwise, nice job.
I really struggled with various cameras on my older videos. I upgraded but have to watch out for scratching the lens on my newer cameras. Next purchase will be the new GoPro which has an internal gimble and better audio. It will be nice to have something that is waterproof. I am also looking for another camera that I can put onto a tripod. Suggestions are always welcome.
@@meMiner I'd make sure any new camera has a good zoom that will focus clearly on closeup shots since you do that a lot to show a rock up close.
Like the Grandmother of a wise middle aged rockhound once said -You like ? Yes - I LIKE ALOT.
LOL
I'm so happy for you that would be my hog heaven
It was good fun.
👍👍👍😎®

i feel like i the only one in this comment section who might have difficulties telling apart milky quartz and calcite...
Sometimes, they can look very similar. Just remember that you can scratch calcite with a knife and it bubbles in HCL acid. Not quartz.
สวัสดีค่ะ
You should check out mindat.org and post some of your finds there
Mindat is a great site. I have not posted there, but often use it as a resource.
Your dog deserves a cheeseburger!
She always gets something when we stop. Cheeseburgers without any veggies are one of her favourites.
Your welcome...I blew out all that mosquitoes for you...☺
You I'm spite me to hunt for gems And my best piece is a 2 carat ruby
I have never found a ruby. I have been in spots where they are supposed to be, but "only" found gold. Congrats on your 2 carrot.
that mosquito...
I took Daisy for a walk this evening. The black flies and mosquitos are out in force. Welcome to spring time in Canada. ;-)
