My husband has got to come get me when I go rock hunting..I could say give me an hour...and well ....I am gone for hours..and I have taken my boots off in the winter and waded across a creek barefoot for rock...yes I am that kind of rock crazy..LOL
I have done the same. I wonder what is in the next valley or over the next hill and end up miles from where I started and usually without my gear. It was awful when I was in the Yukon. I loved it and always made it back, but usually hours later.
@@meMiner LOL yes I bet..This was in Kentucky ...Geodes everywhere..Well were I use to live...I have hunted for rocks in the Bavarian Alps..but I still miss the geodes in Kentucky.. .

Can you do a video on rock identification? I try to keep up and call out rocks as you hold them up but, I need help. Took me a year to realize you were saying vug and not bug! 😆
Greig has re-put Cobalt back on the map , I've learned more from Greig in regards to Northern Ontario and the Cobalt areas history than I have anywhere else. And I am thankful for that.
Hiya Greg, dude! Nice finds, I know Daisy is a real Rockhound, she knows how and where to look, hey she has the best teacher. Awesome video and some really nice finds too boot, I bet your footprints back were really deep. I hope you have a awesome blessed day. Cya!
Such beautiful scenery! One of the many bonuses of living here in Ontario. I love watching your videos as I am new to rockhounding and learning what I can find in my expanded area makes it more exciting. My 7 year old daughter is a HUGE fan and hopes one day she gets to meet you and Daisy (she has been so inspired by your videos that she asked Santa, her aunt & her grandparents for rock kits, tools and books for Christmas - most of which she got). Thank you for sharing this adventure with us.
I love hearing that little ones are excited by rocks. I took my daughter Amy on her first prospecting trip in BC when she was 9. It was nice when she got a little bit of gold in her pan plus she had a good eye for rocks.
Oh it makes me feel good to see someone as addicted to rocks as I am..... ALL ROCKS I find something beautiful in all of them. As your walking away you’re still looking down, don’t wanna miss anything! Lol 😂
Is this an unusual formation, MeMiner? Could you query a guess as to how this formation may have been formed ? Interesting and beautiful minerals for certain, and Ms.Daisy led you right to them! 🐾🐾🥰🐾🐾
@@meMiner , thanks for the reply! Super hot water seeping up from beneath the earth through vents dissolving the minerals and changing their elements into what we saw today? Have I got the gist of it anyway? Thanks for taking us along and I pray your in good health, you look the picture of health. 😉🤔☺️👏👏👏
You make me wish I knew more about rockhounding in Ont. My extended family has lived their since the 1700s, but Ive only visited once. Each time you take us on a rock hunt, Ont amazes me, truly, thank you.
Get to the Bancroft Gemboree! In June or July. Went on vacation there from Cleveland years ago,visited relatives,Toronto was excellent..one of the best vacations ever,got some good scapolite and hackmanite. I ❤Canada. Couldn't ask for better neighbors!
Damn! For a guy that grew up in the south with a couple close calls with snakes, that fluttering/rattle sound when you put your hand in that hole made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and I puckered a bit 😳! Holy 💩!!!!
Awesome adventure beautiful area great eye as always some of them bigger ones had some great looks great to see daisy out with you she sure is happy awesome a person sure could blow a day away there looking wow awesome awesome video thank you
Really cool area with lots of awesome stuff. Thanks for taking us with you! God bless you and your family. Have a great new year! No heart attacks this year!
That rock was a bit too heavy for you,considering what occurred with you... shouldve asked someone to come back with you. Don’t take chances young man . #dontbeafraidtoaskforhelp #putyourselfandwellbeingfirst .
I went for a walk in the woods yesterday and I remembered what you said about crystals sometimes in uprooted tree root balls. I found 3 really nice clear quartz crystals and I also found some lovely pieces of feldspar with mica in it. Way fun!!!!
Around the 8 minute mark I couldn't decide if I'd made up the Flash Gordon reference or not, 4 minutes later I knew, thanks for putting me at ease, and nice reference! I haven't seen that film for many years, must try and find a copy somewhere. oh, nice rocks too.
Its fun watching your gut lead you around to the goodies! I keep seeing rocks placed on top of rocks..... Is that a rockhounds way of peeing on a rock to let other hounds they've been there? It was nice of Daisy to bring you that treat. My cats do the same for me.
I am not sure about others, but I place good rocks on top of other rocks, intending to come back...and then get distracted, forget or cannot find the spot again.
She is a good dog. Doesn't steal food and listens. Saves me from having to clean up the truck later when inevitability her stomach rejects the nasty stuff. ;-)
Your adventurous and knowledgeable searches bring me back time and again to review your videos. Its terrific. If I could send you a couple of photos is there a way you'd offer your insights abt my finds ???
Thanks a lot, ( Sarcasm) My coffee went cold. But did you find any pears? I saw a partridge, I saw trees, I saw a healthy apatite, but no pears. Yuk, Greig scratching around in the dirt with his bare hands and not a foot away is the innards of an unfortunate who chased a partridge into the woods, was it food for thought or just food, perhaps the pears were toxic. Nice little adventure Daisy took you on, she knew what you wanted and waited patiently, admiring the view while dad had a rummage around in the dirt, well done Daisy. Two happy souls who don't really need words, they understand eachother perfectly, a little like me really, I understand each and every one of me, just because you can only see one does not mean there are not more, some may think i'm strange but think about this, Is there just one of you, or do you have several personalities? I admit I do, when will you. Happy new year people.
I think the guts were from a grouse. It was hunting season. Usually, there are also feathers but I didn't notice any. The only pears were Daisy and me. "Quite the pear, some say". Multiple personality? I have only been told before that I have no personality. LOL
This spring can't come quick enough for me , I've actually thought of buying a trailer for the motorcycle just so I nay bring home 1 or 2 or 30 or 40 specimens home .lol. Oh I nearly forgot- I like !
that falcon would tell you if it was mica or platinum sliver or any kind of mental { I found out mica has 3 layers} always a green horn but like the woods which save me being ???
Hi Me Miner, you seem to have a pretty good handle on all the minerals, crystals etc, are you academically trained or are you self taught in geology. That was a fair sized lump of rock you had to carry back to the truck, obviously the hand has healed up ok, good to see .Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
I took some Geology courses at UofT out of interest and a prospectors course put on by the Ontario government. The rest was self taught and I am still learning.
That explains it, as in your explanation of the minerals and generally geology I thought you had a bit of training in geology. Most of the youtubers are pretty good at what they are doing but I have only come across a couple I think seem to have more background knowledge than the average rock hound. Mind you once you start in this hobby you need to gain a bit of knowledge just to find locations.
Daisy loves the adventures but I still spoil her on these trips with treats. So did others who recognized her from the video and were in the area to collect.
Miner I need a decent trim saw like you have in order to cut larger rocks. Any ideas or information under $500 range? I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide thank you very much.
@@meMiner only asking because I have large samples and I have seen yours in previous videos I'm on a low budget just looking for something similar and reliable
I’d like to see some of them cleaned up myself pretty nice looking fines they might not be top quality for some people but other people just might find them interesting
I have recently come across some labradorite in raw form any advice on how to tumble it or cut into slabs and polishing it, I thought I remembered you tumbling some in the past but couldn’t find the video
I bought some but haven't done anything with it yet. I understand it tends to flash from one direction best, so cut it the same way to hopefully expose more flash.
to me, look for round river rock on top of any old mountain top, you will find crystals but also gold. If I found that area, I would put a claim there already, just saying. I've seen enough that it would make it worth it. In my state 2 toons can claim 40 arches, think about it.
A bear chased Daisy a few years ago. It has been a long time since I have seen a rattle snake. Lots of non-poisonous snakes around. They especially like rock piles in the sun
@@meMiner that was just a poke 😝. I run out of pocket space all the time. My best ones always go in the Top Pocket and are referenced as Top Pocketers” all the time 😆
Iron stain, feldspar, smoky granite rock, I get a hardon. Do you metal detector, or just wasting my time , no way I would leave that ground without using a minelab metal detector.
You better get that falcon metal detector and put me out of business-at least use a pin pointer AND wonder how that stone got their { know you know I am a green horn ]
did you ever get home ,already for supper, and realize you lost your appetite ....what about getting a cart for hauling deer out of the woods to haul the heavies
Beautiful colors everywhere, even in the rocks! Great video!

Is this an unusual formation, MeMiner? Could you query a guess as to how this formation may have been formed ? Interesting and beautiful minerals for certain, and Ms.Daisy led you right to them! 🐾🐾🥰🐾🐾
Hydrothermal fluids created the calcite and possibly mixed with a carbonate-rich melt having an igneous origin.

good job Daisy !!!
Great video, thanks for sharing.

Good video miner, to think back on the tons of rocks I carted home for my wife, here only words were "that one" regardless of what it weighed.
You have plenty of interesting rocks to choose from. You need bigger pockets. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

How can you tell if something might have been degraded by radiation?
The rocks look burned.
Whether this is a meteorite or simply rock? Very difficult to distinguish between the two after seeing this video..
Mineralized Canadian rock.
