Changing Conflict into Friendship. Ocean Picture Stone Quarry.

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
- It is always best to work with someone rather than against them. So I reached out to my claim neighbour Nick and arranged a trip into the Ocean Picture Stone Quarry. We cooperatively worked out claim boundaries, and shared ideas and some stones. Smoothed over some bad blood from the past, and agreed on a path forward in cooperation.
My number one wish in our community is that everyone, EVERYONE would get along and work together. We are getting closer.
Thanks Nick.

It's good to see adults acting like adults. The world would be so much better off if neighbors acted like neighbors and strangers acted like friends.
Hi Dan, I drill holes in Concrete for a living.
The ROK Drill bits you are using are absolute garbage.
Spend the money on Hilti Drill bits & if you can try to keep them cool by pouring water on them intermittently.
Your cost per hole will be lower.
Hilti. Is quality.
Thanks again dan for the great opportunity and the great Stone I'm glad we were able to figure things out.
Hi Nick. Was all of the surface rock you were looking at from blasting or did you have exposed sections of the seam? It may be time to bring in some digging equipment or do some core samples to see if that seam does dip back down on your claim. Not a claim jumper, just a curious rockhound. I usually hunt in Southern AZ and I'm always trying to figure out how geology decides where to put the good stuff.
Good Luck I hope you find a seam too!
Stay Safe Dan. hope the landslide and ensuing flood doesn't drastically affect your claim in a bad way.
@Danhurd keep us posted on how things turn out. but also stay safe.
I think that a lot of us have been concerned about the landslide affecting Dan. He's obviously a great guy. Let's hope for not just Dan, but everyone else along those rivers. Take care, and you also stay safe.
Imagine all the paydirt about to get sluiced when the slide starts to flow down the river.
@@dobbo7690 Good point. lol
Thanks for coming on today Nick we enjoyed having you hope to see and hear from you again
Love watching you play the Dwarven xylophone! Thanks for sharing!
I love hearing the wedge sing as you hit them
You’re a good man, Dan. I’d be proud to call you “neighbor”.
I'm digging the "music" your hammering makes on the wedges.
It's rather soft, but definitely there!
same such a nice sound
I love finding rare rocks i found a emerald and a sapphire and in my garden i find some bones tiny on a black stone and im happy with it the geology i like fiding nature treasure.❤
Thats more than fair Dan. "Like a good neighbor Dan Hurd is there!"
"I'm just going to head over to TH-cam to do some word-of-mouth advertising for a $150-billion insurance company that isn't paying me."
@@cwtrain Lighten up a bit.
Dan its super cool that you did this video with your claim neighbor after the "controversy" that went down a few months ago
What a diplomatic way to say “stay off my claim”. 😂
It must be awfully tempting when the mother load vein is less than 100 feet away. Trail cams can be pretty well hidden these days, so if you see one, realize that it's probably there _for_ you to see, and not what is actually reliably recording you.
Stay constantly pouring water as you drill or stop frequently and dip your bit in water to cool it off as your drilling, those bits will last a lot longer!
Good to cooperate with neighbors, it generally works out well for both sides of the boundaries.😊
Mayhew Tools makes the best pry bars and chisels. I used to work there though so I'm biased. Haha.
Good on you for working with your neighbours.
You found some amazing Blue today 💎Dan!
Hey Dan. Can I make a suggestion? Maybe bring multiple bits with you and rotate them. That'll allow each one to cool. Or keep a bucket of water and dip them often.
Nice to see you being a kind and generous guy. Good on ya!
Watching the use of "feather-and-wedge" always reminds me of the days when I used a sledge hammer to drive-in ground rods. I now use a bit made for that purpose that fits into the hammer-drill. I wonder if that would work for you. My shoulder always starts to ache when I watch. Keep going, I love the blue better than the gold.
I was thinking the same thing!
I loved hearing the voice of the feather wedges as you drove them into the holes, Dan.
For the most part, I could hear the tone go up with each blow of the hammer, and it was exciting (and sometimes cringy) to hear the rock split in anticipation of seeing how it broke & what it revealed. Great video, Dan! ❤🎉😊
Perhaps using water from the puddle may reduce the drill wear Dan.
You add the enjoyment, all wish able to dig stones.Thankyou!
Dan I always love these videos of ocean pictures stone. Keep up the good work and may you find the best lot ever
Water really helps with the longevity of my masonry bits….
We were taught not to use water on carbide as the thermal shock cracks the carbide
@@Danhurd this is going to be TL;DR for most of us, but then again I never tell folks something they do not know, I just remind them of facts in evidence we all see.
If you start cool, stay cool, there is no micro cracks. Sudden quench is what you were taught to avoid, and what your comments indicate. The lack of cooling results in the blue of the carbide supporting steel we see. Just a trickle of water will work, wisp of steam to know you are running hot. Water boils well below the micro crack heat affected zone. If the steel holder of the carbide is blue you are drilling too hot. Start cool, stay cool, no worries. Also less chance of the dreaded silicosis results from dry drilling.
If you think there is water in the pit before you travel to the dig site then bring a few small one-use drink bottles to dip and use. If you plan to bring water get it close to the site rather than haul it from home. To increase bit life use only as much water as needed to control dust and slow down when you see steam, the bit of carbide can take the heat fine, the brazeing material is good with that level of heat as well, it is the supporting steel which you wish to protect [blue color is an indicator of bad choices].
@@Danhurd some carbide tipped drill bits can be used with water, but only when water is introduced in the beginning of the drilling process. The bit needs to be flooded the whole time…Introducing water after the bit is hot ends badly. You will also still be able to re-sharpen them afterwards 👍
What I have said in another video is to do it either completely under water, or completely dry. anything in between runs the risk of drying out the bit, and then quenching it.
Love that you got excited when Nick found some blue!
I hope they find a Lovely seam! They seem like nice guys.
Dan your wedges are spalling on the top where you repeatedly hammer on them, as you’ve seen yourself the edges will break off and when they fly they have incredible energy and could cause you injury! Please take the time to grind off the ends properly to recondition that end of the tool, stay safe so you can keep me entertained with your vids.
"really nice crack" seems like good text for a t-shirt...
"Absolutely inspiring! This video beautifully illustrates how even the toughest conflicts can transform into genuine friendships with the right approach. The serene backdrop of the Ocean Picture Stone Quarry adds an extra layer of peace and reflection to this powerful message. Kudos to everyone involved in this incredible journey!"
Ocean picture stone Is my fave!! I love these vids & good to see ppl actin like adults & your generosity of givin him 5ft off your claim to have finds If he does!!
My goodness you have the best picture stone i have ever seen good job
Where else have you seen OPS? I'm looking for rough stone from when Dan's claim was mined by the previous owners decades ago.
Be careful with the Fraser and potential flooding
Thanks Nick! Boys being like Nick.
This is the first time I've heard musical tones from the featherin' wedges as you hammer/ As a musician this is really cool ( so in the beautiful stone)!
I felt them myself. I'd have to play with them to understand what the tones meant.
That was nice of you to give Nick a big rock I’m sure they got some over there but it gotta be deep
You amaze me! Once a teacher always a teacher. Many people don't understand the concept of trying to make peace. You did an excellent job showing a great example.
I love every day that starts with Dan! Stay blessed friend
Hope you stay safe- heard about some nasty landslides up from the Fraser River! (Potential flash flooding, etc) Hope you have a wonderful day!
8:48 .. That Blueish Gray kind of colour, would look great aa a pendant a against a Steel Blue Dress or Poncho!!
I would love a ring made out of the blue and white material. Gorgeous stone!!!!
soooo pretty 🤩 i know it’s hard work but it also looks like so much fun 😊
I use these bits on a daily basis. I use rebar cutters and regular bits. And believe me I know what I am talking about. I have drilled thru 1" rebar with them. I use water constantly to keep the bits cool. And believe me it makes a difference. All lapidary equipment. Core drills. Diamond cutting saws. Etc Have water or oil lubricant to keep the blades and or drills cool. And it makes a difference. Dan knows this. He uses equipment like this all the time.
Absolutely love this stone.
If money was no object, I'd love to take a large slab and recreate it in mosaic form with chips (obviously the mosaic would look and be like the original but larger)
Until this episode, I had not really been interested in non-gold items. BUT some of these pieces are really cool.
I love the musicality of the feather wedging, the way the tones change as the tension changes.
I like the darker blue... it looks more like a storm
Be careful around the frasier river now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was a workout day for sure. Good work!❤
Good fences make good neighbors. There's nothing wrong with everyone knowing whats expected of them.
Also, too bad that big one wont fit in the saw as is.
Selling pieces from a certain video idea is gangbusters. I hope you get bought out! beautiful stuff Dan.
Thanks Dan . You Da Best .
Grandma wants her picture stones!
hope your dad is doing well, like seeing you and him in your videos
Howdy Dan ! Great Nayber & great Ocean Blue Stone video !
You could use water when you drill to cool off the drill so you dont waste another one.
I'm a new sub, just watched one of your older videos. Of course your a teacher lol, your awesome dude. The world needs more people like you! Thank you for the videos, love all your rock and gem ones!
0:41 Good LUCK Dan!!!!
Oh mercy!! I don't get paid until next week!!! I so would love a quality rock in the rough !
Pounding rock is like the Miners Xylophone.
You did earn my subscription today. Always the highlight of my week.
Hey Dan, for that super hard rock that cooks your drill bits you could try predrilling with a much smaller bit. You'll never burn another drill bit.
When I first saw the picture stones some time ago, I did not appreciate their beauty. Now I see the attraction, and I love how different the patterns can be, Nice job, Dan!
Another awesome video as always!
Dan I really enjoy your video's very entertaining and interesting. I would suggest that you use" Hilti" brand drill bits, yes they cost more but will out perform all other cheaper bits by a wide margin.
Clear the rock dust from the hole as you are drilling, friction makes huge heat and shortens bit life.
You love to see it.
Great good neighbor video!
Definitely wet those bits.
Cool them puppies down.
You’re a good guy and a great neighbour
top little show Dan, keep having fun.
Dude you are going to get a lot more new gold on the river after the water breaks through that landslide .
Imagine cutting one of thosr big stones into sheets and making walls/flooring with it. Who needs marble!
Are you away from the part of the Frasier where the flood may happen when debris moves?? Be safe out there!! ❤❤ and respect from Texas!
You could play a good tune on the feathers as you hammer!😂😂
right before he said it i was thinking, hope they left water for the carry out.
8:40 The not so amazing stone looks like the color of denim. Blue jeans aren't as lovely as the ocean but I bet pendants will match outfits nicely. ❤
Awesome!
you earn my sub every video Dan. thanks for all the content you provide us
Your always great to watch. I'm so happy for you, it fills my heart that your happy doing what you love. . Thanks for making the videos. You keep on rocking my friend. ❤
Great show Dan I'm excited for the upcoming shows about the Fraser River and the landslide and what had occurred for you I'm hoping it went something like it was the river stopped and you went down there and found gold everywhere Gold Rush all over again just right where your claim is question do you ever find gold in the picture Stone
Use water when drilling to keep the bits cooled
That stone is really growing on me. It looks so amazing.
Since the silica is mobilized by heated groundwater, the odds of it bending with a fold are low. I would look into doing some ground resistivity over and around the producing areas.
The most awesome beard in geology!
Beautiful
Some very nice stone!!
Did you know they use to use the same method 2000 years ago to remove rock? They would drill holes and press wood in to it. After that they would soak the wood with water so it would expand. The expanding wood would cause stone to crack. They would use really hard stone and sand to drill the holes.
@@scuss2 they used their hands to power t6hem and stones with sand are easy to get. So is wood. There is also a theory they used a giant wheel that people walked in to cut huge chunks of stone I think the other way is more viable with a few thousand people.
@@scuss2 There is also a theory they would burn wood on top of the stone to weaken it before chipping away at it but that would be very inefficient and too hard to control what was fractured.
@@scuss2 That is a good question. We will never know for sure since it was the bronze age and nobody wrote it down. All we can do is guess based on what we little information we have.
@@hiddentruth1982 we say noone wrote it down, but most of the pre roman knowledge burned with alexandria including the actual true location of it,
@hiddentruth1982 Actually, the fire on top of the stone to be quarried is not just a theory. It's still used today. djkwoodcrafts and Casey Monteiro have videos showing how they've done it.
I love your jewelry made with this beautiful stone! I learn so much from you. I’ve followed you with others digging crystals. I would love to go digging for amethyst!
Hey Dan! You headed up to the Chilcotin River after the danger passes? I imagine that's gonna have a bunch of freed gold from that slide!
nicely done that was just a bunch of work. thank you for sharing the adventure and information 😅😅😅
Great idea to set some of the chunks on your website, Dan. Heading over there now 😍.
Dan, I hope you get video of the flooding on the Fraser. At least log jams may be gone by on your clam
Beautiful stones. B
Pro Tip: Use your snuffer bottle to squirt ample amounts of water into the hole you're drilling during the drilling process. Your hammer-drill drill bits will last a long time. Water is cheap, drill bits are not!
It seems to me that your gold fever extends beyond gold.
aug 6th, 8 am EST, watching helicopter video of the breach of the Chilcotin river landslide...Nature's just awesome...gotta wonder, what's being sent downstream, for minerals, gold? stay safe everyone
Apperently I am into colorful rocks these days. I did not expect this.
Wait!
Did I hear "BORDER CZAR???"
[HOP HOP HOP!]
Great video! Maybe you could try resting your drill bit by periodically removing it and plunging it back. The technique removes the grit that causes overheating. Your bits may last longer 😊 love your content!
Dan thinks using water creates cracks in the carbide due to uneven heating. I think his ROK bits are the problem.
I've been payin attention to the deal you face with the rivers going nuts. Good thing to see many of your claims up high.
"the feather and wedges" sounds like a rock band
Dan, have you ever considered using a concrete saw to make relief cuts you would get good slabs that way I would think
