Very nice, thanks! I found the same kind of fluorescent U rock in the middle of France, they call it Autunite, about 60% Uranium, very hot stuff. You can find a lot of these in some French spots, no need to go in the mountains. Cows are literally living on this radioactive soil in Saone et Loire. It's harder to find green Torbernite. I use the modern Russian AtomFast 8850 to detect it, CsI(Ti) mini crystal, very effective and ultra portable. Can also draw a heat map if combined with an Android.
@@EarthExtractions oh yes! Ive been meaning to go there too. Its just so remote. And ive heard the forest service and blm covered up a lot of the old workings.
Howdy fellow Coloradian I was wondering where you go to prospect for uranium ore and other radioactive minerals? I understand if you do not want to give away a good location. I have the USGS active and inactive uranium mine locations but was wondering if you happened to know of any good locations around Colorado Springs, or any locations in general. Thanks in advance, keep up the great videos!
A saw at the end you were in boulder county, I missed that the first time. I'm just a hobbyist so I am not trying to mine large amounts just different small samples from around the state to add to my mineral collection.
@@CovertGamingET Greetings Fellow Radhound. I haven't explored the Springs area. But, check out this USGS Publication: GEOLOGY OF URANIUM DEPOSITS IN THE FRONT RANGE, COLORADO. It provides uranium areas in Jeff Co. Also, all the pegmatites in Jeff Co & Teller Co contain rare earth minerals which are on the "hot" side. pubs.usgs.gov/bul/1159/report.pdf
@@brianwalko Thank you kindly for both of these resources. I will be joining the FB group. I am actually heading to Uravan, CO with my fiance this weekend to camp and explore the area/learn about the history there as well as search the surrounding areas for minerals, carnotite ore and possible leftover tailings from other mines in the area. I won't be trespassing or going on the superfund site. My Fiance works with the BLM, USGS, and Forest Service so I was lucky enough to have her get a map that shows what land I can go on legally along with my map of claims. Sadly my Ludlum Model 3 will not arrive until the end of the month so I will only be using the Terra-P dosimeter and the GQ GMC-320plus gieger counter. Would you happen to have any tips on locating radioactive minerals with very low accuracy devices? Again thank you kindly for the resources and link to the FB group
@@CovertGamingET Keep the detector as close to the ground as possible. Before I got my Ludlum, I duct taped by Digilert near the bottom of a hiking pole. Also, portable longwave UV flashlight helps for spotting autunite (fluoresces brilliant green) in the evening and at night. Have fun!
@@EarthExtractionsyes I have fiesta ware and the has uranium in the glaze it's just the probe I wish they made a cross between the cdv-700 and cdv-715 one with a built in Muller tube like the lucky strike
@@ethansav0892 Start your search on mindat.org Then lookup uranium. Scroll down to Deposits of Uranium (map). There appears to be nothing in the SoCal area.

I had my sample XRF'd. It only contains 9.78% Uranium. You have a good find!
I gotta get one of those GR130s. they look pretty darn useful. I like collecting radioactive minerals at several sites around montana.
Great. I want to prospect around the base of the Pyror Mtns. south of Billings for some Tyuyamunite.

You should add the name of each detector you use/demo: Exploranium...
I use a Ludlum Model 3000 Data Logger with 44-2 & 44-9 probes. My friend uses an Exploranium GR-130 miniSPEC for the isotopes
Really cool!

I have tired looking for uranium Using a cdv-700
The old CDV-700s will detect uranium. Have you tested the detector with a sample piece of uranium?
@@EarthExtractionsyes I have fiesta ware and the has uranium in the glaze it's just the probe I wish they made a cross between the cdv-700 and cdv-715 one with a built in Muller tube like the lucky strike
@@EarthExtractions I have a question what is the best place to look for uranium in southern California

@@EarthExtractions okay thank you
