the small clay pots are crucibles used to melt metals, ore ,etc. They last about 130 hours fire time before cracking. This is why you see so many of them. Very nice video, thank you.
So cool man, thanks for sharing. The kid in me would love to go exploring like that.
Bjarne, IF your flashlight can be on a “flood” setting, it “might” help. These lights these days put out a tremendous amount, but when you’re in a REALLY dark place, sometimes it’s to much.
The first time I went to Alaska to log. I was in the ass end and I bent down to get a drink out of a small creek. I looked down and the whole bottom of the creek was gold. I thought I struck it rich, then the wheels started turning on how I would get it out with no one knowing. I had to let the hook in on it, needless to say he got a pretty good kick out of it. It was all fools gold and I was the fool. Have a great day and thanks for the video.
Super cool! Thanks for sharing.
WOW!
That glass you picked up was a 1938 electrode for electrical current to light up your tunnel
You are very correct Bjarne. There are only a few mine explorers that understand how to properly video the exploration. Most just sweep light around at a dizzying rate not realizing that their two eyes are seeing much better than ours are, looking at what the camera is seeing.
Then there is the nausea when our brain can't process what we see fast enough, panning the camera TOO FAST!
Exactly. I noticed that from watching other TH-cam videos and didn’t want to make the same mistake. Alas this was a spontaneous “fogged out day” adventure so I didn’t have a better flashlight for the camera. 🤷♂️
17:00 The bottom level of a mine is usually the haul level; all ore in the stopes is dumped into ore shoots that then is loaded into ore cars on different levels, that dumped into ore passes that deliver ore down to the haul level, breaking up the pieces as it falls.
That was great exploring the old mine tunnel and shafts, man they must have been hard times digging through all that rock and material, cheers for the reel Bjarne.
At least the other guy had the brains working to bring equipment. So where is the gold pan? Oh, in the truck? Ma, can you come and talk to this fellow, he a jolly good fellow.
That was a fun adventure Bjarne!
12:21 The rock type is changing, more mafic, darker, iron rich.
Remember gold in the hill at end of a rainbow 🌈 BJarne lol .
very cool you need to find the tailings piles and metal detect them big adit not a prospect they must have been finding something good 👍
0:35 A Plutonic Igneous rock! Quartz Monzonite is my best guess.
Ya I thought it was quartz monzonite. I had read about that rock in other mineral reports in the same valley.
The bands are referred to as bacon strips, rock bolting to support incompetent rock.
7:42 Intrusive fault zone infilled with a quartz vein, the vein being the last faulting.
This is an alteration zone, which usually is very incompetent rock, requiring good support. Look for mineralization in this zone.
27:28 This larger opening was a diamond drill station to obtain drill core to try to find the ore.
On that makes sense. Thanks for the info
The river behind my house is loaded with pyrite , the thing is gold won’t float that’s your first clue . The soil in the whole area is loaded with it , no gold . 👍🇨🇦
2:56 If the intension is to explore into total darkness, rule of thumb, carry 3 flashlights and batteries. AND above all, let someone on the outside KNOW where you are gonna bee and a set time that you have to communicate back to the living that you are sound!
Granite or limestone, it looked like, to be honest, and it has lots of pyrite also known as ( fools gold) witch is to be expected because alot of the bc mines had it in them.
4:33 DRY? They drive the adits on a slight incline so that water drains, loose falling will dam up the water in sections. Where the water is on the right is referred to as the piss ditch or water ditch.
Ya we noticed the adit was inclined too. Make sense, so the water can drain.
Wow thanks for showing us that, I know some mine shafts in our area with old machinery left, there fun to dig around at, were you at? Still up were your logging?
This was a short drive from camp, we had a “fogged out” day.
Panning the piss ditch could be quite profitable, gold does not travel far, pyrite, sulphides is the lighter of the heavies that you saw.
cupels to remove lead
👋🏻
I got 2 questions: Did you have air monitors, and if that was gold, could you have panned for it? Looks like a fun explore, but mines can be dangerous.
No air monitors but this adit is well known in the area and my coworker had been there multiple times already.
It was definitely pyrite, if it was gold I’d be rich and definitely wouldn’t have posted the video 🤣
@BjarneButler Cool deal, I wouldn't blame you for not posting if it was.
Go back with your pan 😂
6:09 Another but bigger intrusive dike. This suggest to me the ore deposit might be a skarn deposit in the limestone.
Looks like just a access shaft to remove ore, ventilation or water, no major vain or hanging wall, I don’t know what I’m talking about
Ya that’s what we guessed too
Might not be a gold mine.
