Thanks Shane for coming and visiting. We truly enjoyed the experience and appreciate the opportunity to meet ya and share a bit about what we do. I didn't get to fill your pan with shiney but I hope you had some fun. I checked the rock mill (which we should have done when finished with our run, goodies were inside, pics to come), I did not see any damage or chunks of metal from the mill missing. looked good. I am still perplexed and never seen anything like that b4. I gained an additional level of appreciation for what you do and your ability to be Genuine while doing it....I appreciate that. When we were standing at the top of the trail... before heading down to the adit... we took a little stroll down that larger trail.... we were standing feet from what we now call the Rose! Was not expecting this! I am sending you some Rose gold. We were feet from an insane strike!
Thanks for inviting me up and i'm 100% happy with the trip, again I don't really care about the gold just the experience so even if we had found ounces of gold, I'd still be at 100%! Very nice on the gold strike!
We had to remake our Trails every year on the West Coast in B.C. Shane . That looks like Home . I'm sure all us West Coast kids from Alaska , BC , Washington , Oregon and maybe a little Northern California all can relate to that kind of Foliage and Terrain . Tks Bud . Brings back Great Memories .
The little musical, rock crushing montage in the middle was a real nice touch! Gave the video a cool friendly vibe, like watching an indie film of a home movie.
I worked for Bechtel Construction in the Philippines and I got gold out of the rock pit that they used for the bridge we built over there as it was already claimed by the company, we were not to do this. I'm lucky as I knew the right people and they wanted me happy as well so being a underwater powderman and mechanic they put me in a hot spot and within minutes I held gold in my hands, not a bunch but the mineralogist was there and clarified any doubts I may have then he showed me the gold that he himself worked out. Where we were was poor ground for finding much rock that meets the standards of bridge material. I went back later and got gold with my cast iron skillet method (no cooking oils) and got some more that was a vast improvement over where they took me and it was impressive. Very fine but very real. Large companies are not there to mine, but they have mined the temporary roads and retrieve it so they used it then got it back thing
How fun you were able to do a little hard rock mining. When I was 15 I worked at a Gypsum mine on a large jaw crusher. I would straddle the crusher if a large boulder fell thru that wouldn't fit into the jaws I'd jack hammer it to pieces. I don't think now a days a 15 year old kid would be allowed to do that as a summer job. Lol Great video, thanks.
My previous job as a lab tech in a solid fuel testing lab we also had the "chipmunk" crusher we used to smash rocks. If they were too big i'd smash with a hammer and feed it here's a video of it from 2009 i think th-cam.com/video/0efP6zUIlYQ/w-d-xo.html then we'd run it through the hammermill crushers here: th-cam.com/video/ltSZCPMeorg/w-d-xo.html
IMO it is a taconite pellet in this case. Taconite is a form of iron that is associated with secondary enrichment. Black shale is basically what happens when dark sediment (with high organic content) becomes compressed over time. So, basically, at one point it would have been deposited by a water body. In theory, a meteorite landing in said sediment could potentially remain in the shale after its formation. But since it contains what is likely pyrite, it is most likely taconite that was deposited in the seam during supergene/secondary enrichment of the vein material.
Correction on my post - the taconite ore is actually formed into ball form during the milling process. it doesn't occur naturally in pellet form. So...SHRUG. Would be cool to know it's composition tho.
Dmd!Thats a lot of work,only for the braves,congratultions to Cody and Kailyn,wish they hit a clean vein there,thank you for giving us this,will have a different thought when filling tired of shovelling alluvials.
Wow you really have connections everywhere!!!! I just cant believe you know so much about so many types of mining.... AMAZING..........................😎
If the gold is combined with pyrite or chalcopyrite the best method for extraction is similar to copper. Pulverizing, flotation, and smelting. The will be a byproduct.
Man what an adventure! So nice of that dude to introduce you to that mine. If it was my claim I'd never leave til all the gold was mine! Hahahahahaha! Great video Shane. Until next one my friend.
You e Pauly pionner is the best...i love you work ..am Brazil Paracatu Minas gerais my city is Mine of Gold ..the kinross Gold explore o Gold..my name is gesner...im not speak english ..thank you yuors vídeos in the best
Crazy awesome adventure Shane...Great spot and great looking little mine. That looked like one heck of an adventure. Your panning station back home looks awesome at your new place...and yes..fire assay love it...sorry it didn't pan out in the wash at the end...Still an awesome video of a great adventure...Thanks for the tag along and sharing 👍. Have a great day 👍.
What an awesome adventure you're having Shane! That's the dream lifestyle for sure. Hopefully you can go back to that mine, as some of those minerals are intriguing as hell and next time take a black light with you. This is one trip you need to do again :)
@@ClearAdventure I've heard of tungsten impurities in other minerals causing fluorescence but the pure metal itself I'm not sure if it's fluorescent. Fun fact: The US military played around with the idea of using large tungsten rods dropped from space as a kinetic weapon called Rods from God. The potential kinetic power would be nearly the equivalent of a small nuclear weapon but without the spread of radiation.
@@ModernProspector I have heard of the "Rods from God" but did not know they were Tungsten. But that makes perfect sense due to the specific gravity and ability to withstand our atmosphere better than many other things. Porcelain coated would be crazy, and like you said, hit with the kinetic energy of a meteor/A- bomb! So it was the Tungsten mixed with _impurities_ that caused the fluorescence, interesting, because that is most likely how it would be found in nature. It does make me think I should take a black light at night near river beds or streams just for fun. 😉👍
That ball thing looked like iron with gold inside. It almost looks like a tiny meteorite.. sand the sawed part smooth and then hit it with ferric chloride acid for a minute or two and see if a pattern emerges inside.
Cruise line customers will definitely need a walkway defined trail. Investment will be necessary for insurance purposes. Could potentially be something, just depends on the potential adventure.
You speak the truth stingray427man,,,, we are currently exploring our options and hope to have this open for tours next spring. We have another claim which would offer even easier access so building those trails as well as cabins will be far easier.
Shane, when you do Utah, it would be very cool if you did a Video with Cody from Cody'sLab. Not sure if he would be interested, but that would make my day. I remember he went out with a magnet once and found a meteorite. you could give that a try, that was a cool video.
That mystery looks an awful lot like a hollowpoint bullet, with the jacket ending up on the indie as it turned itself inside out on impact. You find things that look a lot like that at the range anyway.
Brother! That was probably worth a bit as a "Specimen" because of the possible rarity. It was almost like a gold geode but not gold, lol. But the fact that there was a little metal piece "Floating free" in that little thing blew my mind either way. Never seen anything like it. Rock on! 🤘 - Kevin Venture
@ Right? It was just so out of left field. I am still excited about it. I certainly don't know everything but I have seen a ton of things about the topic, and have been prospecting since I was a kid in Alaska, and that is what is so crazy. I have never even _heard_ about something like that. To this day it seems like one of the rarest things I have ever seen, and I still believe that makes it precious. Both worth a lot of money possibly, but just for scientific knowledge in general. I really wish he would show that to persons far more educated than myself. I would love to watch a video of him doing that. To me, it is the definition of fascinating. - Kevin

@@ClearAdventureI Agree wholeheartedly my friend. Good to meet ya!
Scratch test would have revealed if it was gold. I was gonna guess meteorite too. But the yellow color could be from any number of oxide or mineral formation that occurred after it landed.
@@Klesh if you want to know definite that would be best way. You would want to look for some rare elements to confirm its from space. Such as iridium and some others i cant remember off my head things that are not common to earth.

I got a few BC videos (and a Yukon Territory) last month, Alberta was a bit off the trail but I do plan on getting all the Canadian Provinces and Territories checked off the list as well.
We should do our best to leave all we can alone. One of the reasons being, I don't think we know why everything is important to the local land. I am not afraid to break a rock at all, but being out there does make one wonder what role each thing does actually have. Personally, I figure if it is out there, it probably matters to something. Just my two cents. 👍
Unless I was going to use it for something, or making a trail, I'll leave it alone. It's supposedly a medicinal plant so that'd be a reason to cut it down as well.

Why do none of the miners ever carry a mini fluorescent black light? They are fairly cheap and can help to show some minerals that will fluoresce in the presence of black lights. Just curious.
My guess is definitely a meteorite have seen them before. They really aren't that rare. What was unique was to find one so deep in a hardrock mine. That would have been a very old ancient meteor strike.
Can't wait until you come prospect in North Carolina, I am just beginning the hobby and I only know of the Uwharrie River since you can't prospect in state parks. :/

Yeah the fine stuff is all chalcopyrite. Even after adding mercury it didn't produce any mercury, I'm guessing not enough of a sample (I only had about a half pound to work with). Thanks for watching!

Based on the geology of the area you're in and the color of that nugget of metal you found I suggest it could be tungsten.
I have heard tungsten glows under a black light, is that true?
I think it was too hard to be tungsten. It was hard, but not as hard as steel when cutting it with the hacksaw.
@@Klesh Perhaps you could do a streak test and then test the specific gravity.

Not sure what minerals would be valuable that glow in UV.
My guess is definitely a meteorite have seen them before. They really aren't that rare. What was unique was to find one so deep in a hardrock mine. That would have been a very old ancient meteor strike.
Nice!
Can't wait until you come prospect in North Carolina, I am just beginning the hobby and I only know of the Uwharrie River since you can't prospect in state parks. :/
Good luck man!
A nodule, there are many types, I'd guess and say arsenopyrite with pyrite
interesting!
Google arsenopyrite it checks all the boxes, also Google marcasite nodule if you never heard of that.
we are in a high density ore block with lots and lots of arsenopyrite....
Man I would love to help you out! I live in Seattle, WA. Hopefully you haven’t already been here. Good luck and be safe on all your adventures!

Maybe you could visit the reed gold mine in North Carolina you can pan for gold for 3 dollars me and my dad did it and we found some ;)
I'll remember that next time I'm there which could be at the end of the month.
Good Idea Katy Cat! Thanks for watching!
You might just have had Pyrite..?

Yeah the fine stuff is all chalcopyrite. Even after adding mercury it didn't produce any mercury, I'm guessing not enough of a sample (I only had about a half pound to work with). Thanks for watching!

That mine looked alright. It's too bad there didn't appear to be a main vein structure. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Towards the back there was intersecting quartz veins full of sulfides and biotite and lots of chalcopyrite.
@@Klesh Did you happen to get a sample of the sulphides to see if you could get any gold extracted from them? That would make an educational video.
@@ModernProspector Yeah I did in the end of this video. However, there wasn't enough so I couldn't recover any gold. I only had a small amount of cons here to work with.
@@Klesh I was referring to the cyanide sulphide gold extraction method. I

I really like watch you looking for gold
And i want to look for gold but in lithuania theres no gold :(
No gold in Lithuania? Maybe finding jewelry with a metal detector would be your best opportunity to find some gold.
