I live in Helena and no one pronounces it right. I live right under one of the richest gold mines and just ordered a gb pro. Can't wait to find some using your tips and tricks! H-E-LL-E-N-A is how you pronounce it.
This exact one is not public, but there are public places only a few hundred yards away. Google Blaze-N_gems and you will find the website for the public one. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@ChrisRalph It was nice to see the commercial side of sapphire mining. I've only been to the local pay to dig sapphire mines around helena and Philipsburg before and a small hobbyist mine in the wilderness in the sapphire range.
Enjoyed your tour of the sapphire operation. Thanks for sharing !!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Perfect combination.
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Good luck to you and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
“Bozman” and “Helleena”
@@TennesseeTazz that’s not how you spell it, that’s how you pronounce it. Like HELL-ANA. It’s spelt Helena.
How the heck did I not know you had a book!?!?
I dont know....
Cool Video !!!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video.
thanks for this information
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Very informative . Thank you. Can you recommend a place in montana near billings to look for sapphires?
Near the mines noted in the video.
Great videos Chris, Could you put up more on where to go for gemstone rockhounding open to the public in the northwest states..
I'll put it on my list. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
What was the name of the first mine in video
Not sure.
How small where some of the sapphires you found I think we have a few if they are small and clear
Some were as small as grains of sand. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Chris, with gold that small and complex, would a shaker table be a viable option to separate the gold?
Shaker tables would work, but it would take many of them to handle the throughput, and the bowls are more bulletproof. Glad you enjoyed the video.
is this a public place? and if so, what's the name of it?
This exact one is not public, but there are public places only a few hundred yards away. Google Blaze-N_gems and you will find the website for the public one. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@ChrisRalph I have seen other public ones, just curious as to which one you were at. Thanks and I've been enjoying your knowledge!
Lol
That's a pan of nuggets compared to Llano river gold in TX.
Yep, Llano gold is super tiny. Glad you enjoyed the video!
your book is coming tomorrow cool !!!!!!!
Great. Glad you enjoyed the video.
If there is enough gold, US Govt. would
have taken out.😂
If you say so.
Nobody ever pronounces helena right lol
I realized it in the editing process, but it was too late. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Interesting....but more of a tour than “how to”.
Maybe "How its done"? Glad you enjoyed the video.
