    A drop of oil on the plastic lug on the top of the tumbler barrel lid will stop you grinding plastic. I had one of those tumblers as my first and it does wear down quickly. Brilliant video. Love the polish on the silver.

    Hey Greig,
    You have got some colour back in your cheeks and sound much better, I hope all is as it seems but without nurse Daisy on duty it's difficult making an assessment although this was probably before your flying lesson.
    Noice silver, I would say they are more desirable now than they were as untouched specimen, I have a great idea what you could use the small pieces for but i'm not telling you.
    Speedy recovery my friend, all the best to you and all of the girls.

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  3 года назад +1

      Great point! And kinda for the same reason. In a huge flood, cracks in the bottom of a stream open and close as massive rocks pound their way downstream. Gold sneaking along the river bottom drop into these open cracks and get trapped.

    There's a parking lot for semi trucks that I know of. The parking lot is at a perfect slant and with the rains, concentrates of stack soot gather always in one spot. Within this spot I gather platinum from the regeneration process of the semis smoke stacks (precious metals on the ceramic combs).
    My point is.
    I've noticed with many of your searches your on a hillside looking.
    I'm wondering if on hills like that, if there isn't a particular spot at the bottom of those hills, where silver particulates may gather in a concentrated amount where you might be able to gather.
    (just sharing)

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  3 года назад

      The silver that I find is pretty much sitting where it was placed by the old miners. There is some fine silver colours in local creeks, but not economic quantities. I am much better getting another larger piece with the detector than looking for sands
