In this video I go rockhound with a Uhaul cube van. I visit Grace Lake and show viewers some of the secrets of collecting rocks and minerals in Ontario
Thank you for your videos. I'm a rock nut. I can't mine anymore because of my back but I guess I revisit minning through watching you. I live near Atlanta GA. If you want to make a trip of a lifetime start In Kentucky and work your way South into Ga. Starting with Emeralds and Aquamarine in Kentucky rubies and moonstone, Sapphires and loads of Amathyst. The veriations of minerals and gemstones doesn't end. Unbelievable finds like a 100kt giant blue topaz form Cherokee North Carolina. I found a beautiful vain of quartz crystals that are so clear they look like diamonds with double terminated beauty's. One mile from the town of Loganville Ga. Where I lived at the time. Ga should have a nick name of quartz. The weather is unbearable from July through September, keep that in mind. The diopside was amazing. Loved that. Love to you and your family, Sandra Baker
Mmmm, that tremolite is nice! Loved the footage of the fall foliage too--ours have just begun to turn, and my neighbor's pear tree is the brightest thing on the block right now, so appreciate the gorgeous view up north.
I think you are to something there Caver461 very interesting, indeed... Knowledge that you can apply in the field is an incredible asset. You have a lot of it. T.Y.
Hi i live in hamilton i have found some really interesting fossils around town .also so interesting minerals one which has white and small vein of gold color in same area the rock had little silver splinters any idea what i found .id like to send u some pics ..seen all your videos your the best bro ..i also found a cave that actually scares me to go in alone lol ..thanks for the upload
Don't know if you could help out, I see you live in Guelph, I live outside of Fergus and was wondering if there was anywhere local where I could get my feet wet and give this rockhounding thing a try. Funny enough I use to live outside of Eldorado near Marmora where there seems to be lots of action.
Non related to this video, I went to the McGlashan mine 2 times and I know I was on the right street because I found it on sites and as well it matched your videos. I looked the first time scouring through the forest on the right side then the second all along the hillside for hours and checked everywhere but never saw the big pit and not even sure if I found the smaller ones. I know I was I was on the right road. Where did I go wrong?
I live in Rideau Lakes and have always been interested in rock collecting. I have looked online but cannot find any information on what might be found near where I live. You seem to be very knowledgeable about what can be found throughout Ontario and so I was wondering if you might know what might be around my area-Delta to be exact. Any information you can offer would be very much appreciated.
Just was living in delta last summer, found tourmaline, calcite, hematite, blue quartz, tiny quartz crystals and a couple other things. Up in Perth you can find orange calcite and green apatite and Lyndhurst has quartz crystals in the area, huge ones if you're lucky.
I have a question I hope you(or anyone) could help me with. Since learning to pick things up, my youngest has been stuffing her pockets with interesting rocks. This summer I laid a pathway of 1inch white stone from Canadian Tire and she immediately when searching for, then tried to sell us the prettiest ones. Well, 1 had some green crystal in it that had a dull glow if held to a flashlight. It smelled like calcium so I plunked it in vinegar and most of the white dissolved or turned to sand size clear gains. Now I have a good sized green crystal that really lights up. Any ideas? Great vids. Some of these places are real close by and we’re looking forward to going in spring
@4:58 when you're discussing diopside, I have a question about that (and if I've asked this of you before, please forgive--Old Timer's Disease!) My absolute favorite green gem is Chrome Diopside. What is the difference between the diopside in the picture, which is opaque, and the beautiful deep green gemmy Chrome Diopside? Thanks in advance! And liked the video even before watching!
my rock guy who owns a shop uses a u haul to move rocks around. He doesn't drive so I have spent plenty of time driving one with my friend and his weiner dog.
Well done and very good job.i appreciate you for Good experience.good thing is that you explain your knowledge absolutely fine.
We have the Precambrian shield, rocks. Great variety of rocks.......around Bancroft..... Gemboree is wonderful to go to in the summer

Finally got out to rockhounding. April5 . Winter still hanging on . Bornite pyrite and some interesring grey/ white unidentified host rock.
Thank u good video =)
awesome video MeMiner
This is Caver, not MeMiner!! LOL
@@CoinandRelicOntario oops I'm such an idiot!! Hahahahaha Sorry Caver love your vids!!
Watch for the eastern hognose snakes around Bancroft....also go near pink quartz mine,,,,,,
LOL. Yeah, you should really visit Florida's swamps to look for Orchids. I recommend Fakahatchee. Bring hip waders and plenty of food for the gators.

Can you find tremolite in New England?

Hey Mike, you said you were interested in comet mine in gatineau, ive been there a lot of time since its close to home. When are you planning to go ?
Hey Mathew, is it easy to find the mind. Been to many but never that one. Looks like a good place
To find the mine* ?
@@debizzle4028 The comet mine is really easy, the mindat info is accurate
Thanks Mathew
Try salerno lk for tremolite aswell
The site is crown land and can be accessed by boat, road access is private property owned and maintained by cottage owners.

Sir you are gemologist

I posted a vid of it
