Looks like you were out having fun again. Glad to see Daisy again out exploring the silver mine. Be safe and have fun, always enjoy each adventure you go on.
Bismuth has incredible mind blowing properties under control with neodymium batteries and sound waves, you can suspend the material and create movement side to side and up and down with low frequency sound waves.
You should get plastic trays with like 12 compartments ? and put good specimens in and have em labeled for students and parents who want their kids to learn .
Dogs are awesome, you can tell that this old dog feels a lot of pain just to walk around but will follow you to the ends of the earth so long as she lives. I just wish that she didn't have to hurt so much
You need to get Daisy some boots . Nice little crystals, looked like fun, I thought I saw an azzulike crystal in that hole near the piece you chiselling. Bismuth is very expensive but you can smelt it on a stove and make some wonderful, intricate forms like something from an inca city.
OMG! Spooky....💀 Around @10:37 in the video on the left bottom in the rock wall I see a skull with 2 eyes. It is there just before you threw the rocks in! Does anyone see it? 👀If so, Happy Halloween.🎃 😄Wonderful video... Daisy is such a patient trooper. I like the Bismuth although it looks very flaky. Well, good luck and happy hunting with Sheldon. It looked like a very beautiful place to be and find some all sorts! 🙏🏼🍀👍🏼 Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re doing a great job! 🙌🏼❤️🇨🇦
Fantastic adventure beautiful area sweet finds great to see daisy no treats for her today she is looking good hot rocks pain in the back side when your in a good area lol thank u be safe
I too noticed Daisy's limp. I give my old hounding hound glucosamine hip and joint. It is sad to see them start the old age process but mine won't let me go aloneLOL. speaking of getting older please keep me in your thoughts. I am going to get a triple bypass the 30th and won't be hounding for a while. Havagudun my friend!
@@kevinspiteri1789 I am home now and doing well I am told lol. Lots of pain but that will leave soon I am told. Thanks for your thoughts! Havagudun my friend.
That’s a challenge with hot rocks sweet she got treats like seeing that tail of excitement like when she sees u and knows when you are taking her out I sure miss them days with my dog awesome thank u
I looked up Bismuth on Wiki because I didn't know what it was and that stuff is pretty they even sell it on Amazon.com plus there's some article on how to grow Bismuth Crystals...! =)
I have another one to edit from this trip. Most days were too windy to video. I got the camera on Daisy for some of it. Should be interesting. You can see that she loves to look for grouse.
Rosemary Turpin I said the very same thing years ago, cobalt blue it's still called that and comes in colours of yellow through to red and blue through to green, the pigment is processed under high temperatures with aluminium silicates and other ingredients.
Cobalt is also a shit show with tonsss of drugs, crimes and murders in a very small town. Was a nice place, Not so much anymore. I know, live here not. Sincerely regret it. Haileybury for the win ✌️
I was away for a week and the one video I took (which would have been great), the camera messed up. I am back up there in two weeks, so will have to do it all over again.
Absolutely beautiful area there, but I bet the winters are brutal. Love watching your videos man. Wish it was that easy here in southern Idaho to find nice specimens laying all over the place.
Man, I live near cobalt and was there last year and in one of the same trenches you were in and at the very bottom by a pool of water sitting on a rock ledge I found a weathered rock A bit smaller than a tennis ball that had a thick coating of cobalt on one side and I picked it up and it fealt like lead so it took it home and cut it open and it literally looks like 75-80% silver under the microscope. I don't even know if that's possible but I'm gonna take it to the lab in Kirkland lake one day to get it tested.
Sometimes, the pink rocks from there are cobalt and arsenide and can be quite heavy. They can fool a metal detector when they also contain silver. Sounds like you might have found an amazing rock,.
If your around the cobalt area some time I should bring it by and show you. The silver stuff in it is pretty soft. And when I click the two flat sawn parts of the stone together it sounds like metal coins. Haha
I enjoy melting bismuth to create the metalic like crystals.. the natural geometric patterns it forms is so cool and unique each time... I need more bismuth
Awesome mineralization and beautiful veins !!! What an incredible experience in this video. I would give my eyeteeth for a specimen of the cobalt shown at 9:58 - 10:00 for a specimen in my collection. The copper was terrific blue-green and the iron mineralization was colorful. If I ever get a passport to visit Canada, I would go bonkers over that waste pile !!! I really enjoyed watching Daisy. At the end of the episode, she hovered above you like a vulture at a fresh carcass. It looks like she is limping a bit - is it old age and hard use or has she had an injury? When will we be graced with a video of the wife and daughter stopping by for a cameo visit? Regards and blessings to all !!!
Daisy has been limpping for a while now, I hope she is ok. I just cant help but notice. It used to be my job to evaluate homeless pets for adoption, and I was a vet technician for 14 years. Poor babygirl but I know Meminer loves his Daisy and has already addressed her situation.
I have some good news and bad news regarding Daisy. She had a broken tooth, which I had pulled in January before it causes problems. I noticed afterwards that she was limping less, so I cut back on her pain meds for the limp. After a couple of weeks, I cut out the meds completely. She still has an arthritic bump on her leg, but the limp is gone. I had her into the vet yesterday about another problem and the vet noticed right away that Daisy was not limping. The new problem is I found a lump on Daisy's belly. It might be an infection so she is now on antibiotics. I will take her back for another look in a week. If the lump is still apparent, then next step is a needle biopsy.
@@MrAtrophy Yes yes now I remember, thank you so much! Gosh, my brain was preoccupied on all the Cobalt he was touching (without gloves) and climbing over!
My wife is already considering new puppy names. She wants Daisy to teach the new dog all her tricks. On the other hand, I like one dog and one woman at a time. However, having the old one teach the young one....hmmm.
This place is ancient, sacred places of worship are often built on ore and most likely it is right next to a fault line and a long dead volcano. If it is so, there should be long chambers beneath which links to other hill and mountains.
@@symonsheppard5519 crusaders were looking for the so called holy grail which is actually a trail of a lost tale, that's actually a serpent's tail which curls on the pole of Christ. The chambers/tunnels is the serpent. The word God is missing with the letter L to be gold, 2 L(s)forms a rectangle, the reason for 2 L(s) is ''as above so below'' hence the connection. if you put 2 lines within the box it will be the cross. Since the serpent is found, where is the pole? lol
Raymond Tan North or south, they have been marked so you can find them. I know all about the crusades, it was not about a grail it was about money and inflicting Christianity forcibly upon people who were considered barbaric and primitive and needed to be saved by the catholic faith. Your theory is about the same as this, if the world is a globe and Australia is directly on the opposite side , given the poetic licence that it's possible for you to dig straight down, when you break through to Australia will you fall up from the hole , come out feet first or fall back down and come back out at max velocity, like a rocket from where you dug down, or will you remain in the centre spinning around , perpetual motion.
I read somewhere that they only mine about 3k tonnes/year, usually as a byproduct of processing of other metal ores. Even so, there is no shortage as that is enough for current uses.
Bismuth wont hurt you at all just handling it. Pepto Bismol is made from Bismuth. All those little boxy cubic Bismuth Crystals they sell online and at stores are pure bismuth. Beautiful looking Crystals kids love the look of them.
I agree with the other Dave. However, anytime you handle natural rocks, it is a good idea to wash up afterwards. Never know what associated minerals are there.
Good deal. I subbed your channel, so I can find you again. I put my trailer into the Cobalt arena storage, so have to get it out on or before the May long weekend. Will probably be up there the week before. I have been up as early as mid-April, but that was a mistake...Still way too much snow to detect or even drive the mining road. There is an off chance that I will come up during the winter with a sled to rip up some trails and maybe do some fishing. TTYL
Daisy jumped off a 3 story cliff and landed on rock down at Lake Ontario. She wanted to go for a swim. The emergency vet and my own vet said she was OK. I am guessing arthritis has set in on the injury. I have her on special food, monthly injections and some other daily meds. It is probably with her until something else gets her. In the mean time, she is a happy dog and loves the adventures.
@@meMiner Those dang labs and their love for water. Ha ha. Arthritis is almost inevitable in a lab but you gotta love their spunk despite the mild aches and pains.
Motion to strike the response. I’m not going to publish my email or phone here, but you can easily find me by googling my name in San Diego. I have a web site and videos. I wonder if the red blob in the middle is cinnabar. The agate is from the bank of the Colorado River in Western Arizona.
What do you do with bismuth? Is it just something for your mineral collection, or are you going to load up some shells for duck hunting?
I just wanted some for my collection. It is relatively rare in nature.
@@meMiner Sounds like a good reason to me!
Looks like you were out having fun again. Glad to see Daisy again out exploring the silver mine. Be safe and have fun, always enjoy each adventure you go on.
Thanks Ronald. Keep well
What a cool place to adventure. Bismuth crystals look awesome I'd love to make some.
Daisy and I love it there. Such a great place to visit.
It says on Google bismuth is the main ingredient of pepto bismol.
Bismuth has incredible mind blowing properties under control with neodymium batteries and sound waves, you can suspend the material and create movement side to side and up and down with low frequency sound waves.

How come we call a certain colour of cobalt "blue" when you identify it as pink in its natural home?
Rosemary Turpin
I said the very same thing years ago, cobalt blue it's still called that and comes in colours of yellow through to red and blue through to green, the pigment is processed under high temperatures with aluminium silicates and other ingredients.
The pink is oxidation. It is like a slime on the outside of the rock
Your up to some serious Bismuth there Greig, lol. I just had to say that.
It was fun, but then I got distracted when I found silver. ;-)
thank you man for your video i am french living in Hong Kong, really thank you for your video
I think this is probably the first comment from Hong Kong. Welcome. Keep well.
would this Bismuth respond to a rare earth magnet? Seeing that it may have cobalt in it ......
Bismuth repels magnets

Shit son this is Cobalt Ontario, Canada. Ain’t no mofuckin volcanoes in these parts
Always thought cobalt was blue!
Cobalt oxidation is pink. The clean mineral is dull grey. The blue is when heated when added to colour glass.
Why is bismuth so cheap?
I read somewhere that they only mine about 3k tonnes/year, usually as a byproduct of processing of other metal ores. Even so, there is no shortage as that is enough for current uses.
