I believe yes a Massasauga rattlesnake, they are definitely are found in and around the Parry Sound area. They don't seem to be aggressive, but will instinctively react if your a perceived threat. Yes agree, Parry Sound holds many mineral assemblages. Great video and look forward to seeing more of your adventures. Take care and enjoy the area there is lots to see and discover there. Lloyd.
at HWY 507 the one I saw had no rattler but had round orange patches and looked at me aggressively, which leads me to believe it was a Massassauga, I think a fierce look is an identifier, the garter snakes look so timid in comparison, I just wonder if rock-hounding those spots is a good idea after all, one bite and I think we're done for....unless we're related to St Paul!🤣
Hi Raf, to share in around Madoc you may find gold, I made a video a while back but maybe pyrrhotite most likely (it sounded on my metal detector, I made a video of it on RUclips), but let me be positive I think I may have found gold. I say that because it was close to the Golden Fleece Mine. I ran into a Massassauga rattler too fierce looking (could have been the baby of the one you saw!) at HWY 507 roadcut looking for scapolite which hardly existed, squeezed almost dry of anything fruity, but lots of snakes though there! Thanks for sharing, great video keep adding your great content. Maybe run into you on a rock trip one of these days..
Some very nice specimens in that area. Enjoyed seeing what you can find in Ontario 😊

Hello from Parry Sound. Did you say River Valley for garnets? Is that east of Sudbury roughly. The town called River Valley? Thnks!
Hey. You look like Sean Connery with the beard. 😂
some really black burnt rocks in Depot harbour
not A mASSASSAUGA RATTLER...JUST A COMMON BANDED wATERSNAKE
That's either a large milkshake or a northern water snake. Non venomous.
A LARGE MILKSHAKE ! HAHAHA
@@markthomas3730 LMAO, I'm just going to leave it as milkshake!! Good catch!
