- A road cut east of New Liskeard in northern Ontario for a few fossils and calcite crystals. Where I look and what I found. Enjoy!

Oh man. Good times. This brings me back to your videos from 6 years back. That’s when I thought you kept calling the holes ‘bugs’ 🤦🏼♀️. Ya don’t want to talk about it. Looking forward to seeing the little cluster clean up.
Don't feel badly, when I type "vug", I get an autocorrect to bug every time
Can't think of a better way to spend a day. Great finds, congratulations.
that was Fun! Thanks for taking me with. I really do appreciate You!
Thanks for showing us your ways on finding the cool stuff
That was an awesome cluster. Reminds me of a hedgehog!
Wow, is that a beautiful area so peaceful and serene just big open pastures kinda, relaxing❤
Yeah, nice spot. Rocks on one side of the road and horses/cattle running around on the other
Gotta love road cuts. That was a really good cluster you found at about 5:30. Keep having fun! 😷⚒
That last shot with the cows and horses was perfection. You need one of those auto-mechanic bolt retrievers….a long bendy rod with a plunger that causes a clasping claw to come out the other end.. Vug explorer!
Good idea. I have one but never thought to use it rockhounding.
Fun little excursion, nice little finds!
Adventures everywhere! That cluster is really cute/interesting 😊
Sweet sweet adventure awesome finds just the outing is awesome thank u for sharing
Ya got some real nice Crystal clusters there.....! Nice work..! =)
Can’t beat the scenery!
It's exciting. But you look tired...I love the garnets, and your knowledge. Thanks for your hard work!
It was the last day of a trip, so I guess I was whooped. ;-)
I enjoy these roadside visits.
Hiya Greg, awesome video and I love those fossils, I find fossilized coral off the Mississippi River, but they're not as beautiful as the ones you found fresh out of the matrix stone. Those are so beautiful. I hope you have a awesome blessed day. Cya!
😺🐟 out!
Thanks my friend 👍
Last time I checked a road cut was when nature called. 😉 Nice cluster.
Another awesome video thank you⛏️👍🙏
Cool crystal hunt results!
I love looking at road cuts. Kentucky has some of the best ones in the states.
Well I guess I will start hitting road cuts . Thanks for sharing
👍⛏️🙂
Superbe excursion, merci
You're a brave soul for sticking your finger in random vugs by the road! Been bitten by a spider more than once doing that so now I just blow on it or use a glove.
We don't have many nasty creatures here
Wow my friends.....
When i use to do OTR trucking i would stop and look for gems out west especially the back roads
There is some great road cuts out west. I hit a number last year but broke the memory card and could not share. Next time
Cool!
1:21 - there was a bug in that vug!! :)
You know what stinks about the area I live in, is that we do have some really interesting stuff in RI. where I live. A guy sent me a map of RI. and where some really nice things can be found. The problem is that when I put a street map over it, so much is on private property or in peoples backyards. I am not even going to ask because I would not want people digging up my turf either.
Sorry to hear that
@@meMiner It is because when I saw the things that can be found I got excited and then I was so bummed when i saw where they are. I bet you some homeowners don't even know what is under their lawn.
@@PabloDiablo682 True that. And I don't know what is in my garden, where I put some of my rocks or the gravel driveway out back where I panned out my gold concentrates for years. LOL
@@meMiner I have told you this before I think, so........I remember one time and it was years ago now, maybe 2 or 3 and you had some substantial gold in i believe quartz was the host rock, and one day you decided to break it down and you were on a picnic table that was on gravel which I assumed was part of your driveway. I don't even remember where you got all of it from, but you were going to town on the specimen. I could see pieces of gold go flying, and even saw them in the gravel. You just left em there. You can tell people you park on a golden driveway. lolol
@@PabloDiablo682 The roads here are paved in gold. LOL
How's the weather there, it's hotter then ever here, got any fish in the river, looks like Vermont America has all your water ?
It is hot now. I cannot leave the dogs in the truck. Fish are plentiful here. ;-)
i would be a bad road worker, i would spend most of the time talking and looking excitingly at the rocks we dig up.
Sort story. I know someone who worked on the Alaska Highway. After a blast, they would all inspect the rocks to see what might be exposed. One time they thought they hit a vein of gold but after the excitement receded realized it was copper. Still, very cool.
@@meMiner wow, Alaska Highway here i come
@@NordicProspecting I should have got a location from him. Too late now
It's Not Going To Come And Get Us. But It Will Not Be Looking For Us. But It's a Fun Game. 💰👍✌.
Am i seeing cinnibar? or is it just bright red iron staining
Baritre maybe, but don't think that formation would have cinnabar.
@@meMinerthat makes more sense
tbh the crystals u found, are honestly nothing to have or search for
Someone once said to me when I asked "Is this a good rock", he said, "if you like it, then it's a good rock." Eye of the beholder
@@meMiner Yes Sir. I agree ... 100%. If it makes me smile, it's a keeper.
@@meMiner Absolutely.
