You were the first person I watched and then subscribed to, and have been watching since. I’ve seen all your videos, and liked them all! I’ve always loved the beauty of rocks, but you gave me a real understanding and appreciation for them.Thank you for expanding and improving my world😊
Great video i have been with you since your Chanel was a different name wow forget the old name been here since you had 1,800 subscribers wow so happy for you 78,000 subs. Great work and great content. Keep it up. Ps you had sent me some of your diamond wetsaw. Cuttings from all of the different rocks you cut found a few small pieces of silver thanks again.
Hiya Greg, awesome video. That's a amazing mine, the clear quartz is so beautiful and the green specimen is very beautiful. You could have picked up off the ground enough jasper to tumble and make cabs for a lifetime. I hope you have a awesome blessed day. Cya! 😺🐟 out!
Morning Greig.. geology wise ..fantastic!..But those places creep me out.. what have we told you about wandering off by yourself??..lol..real pretty specimens!..thanks for sharing as always ❤️☮️
What an adventure! I'll watch this again for sure. I live on the Driftless in SW Wisconsin, and there are supposed to be abandoned copper mines in the region I've researched. A friend and I were checking out some quartz we had bought at a local store while having a drink, and one of the locals told me they used to see crystals all over the place when they were mining, but they didn't know anyone that would be interested back in the day. Guess I got a look at what they might have seen.
Great finds and video!🙌🏼 But like you said the mine looked a bit “sketchy”….Nevertheless you acquired some nice specimens from it. GL and HH on your next adventure…🙏🏼🍀 Stay safe👋🏼🇨🇦
Jack pot! Fascinating and more than a little terrifying. Excellent finds. Those layers at 5:30! And of course the pudding stone. Gorgeous! Thought of you yesterday as I walked a tumbled stone beach on Lake Michigan.
It was really exciting but at the same time sketchy in places. I want to go back and try to get into the upper level where they brought the ore down from
Daisy says, nope, not going in there dad, shelby thinks, daisy won't go in there so I am certainly not going in. Interesting mine shaft, there are brackets so you can hang people by the wrists and lots of jasper, I see the good bits have been robbed out, every vug was empty, what are those robbers called, nasty little vuggers. Hang on, that was not just spooky it was clever, a pair of legs in the distance, spooky.
when you reach a section of the tunnel where there is a bunch of fallen rock but the walls are pretty clean of loose material, does that mean the rock is pressurized and just waiting for any impact to explosively trigger additional rockfall? @6:41 - 6:53 you show an area where it seems the rock exploded out. It seems like the areas with splintered but not snapped-off timbers would also show the same pressure. Is this mine running thru old black smokers?
That rock was crush from either an ore cart tip or more likely somebody chipped rocks off the wall and his was their discards. In other places in the video, some of the roof had collapsed as there is another level about 20' above the ceiling or an old ore shoot from there let go. What is a black smoker?

meMiner I used gloves .... after i etched some rocks with muriatic acid then washed them down with water took off gloves and handled the rocks to see results is it safe to handle the rocks after being washed with water
I am assuming you used rubber gloves? But to answer your question, once you dilute the acid by washing the rock with lots of water, you won't likely get a burn. Still, wash up afterwards before you touch sensitive skin. That is always a good idea after touching any rock, because sometimes they have minerals that you don't want to ingest.

This is my favorite video. Love the finding in dirt then the clean off result. This is what i do on my days off here in central Oregon.
Right on!
Wow, so many minerals and gems! Beautiful place!
Great Adventure with so cool finds !!!!!
Magnificent tour! Thank you for posting. Stay safe.
That's amazing and the geology looks fascinating. My sack is not big enough to go somewhere like that - so thank you for showing me.
Bright, colorful, and shiny rocks... I like.
We’re back in blizzard mode in Penetanguishene, so this was a great escape. Beautiful colours. And today I learned about the peacock formation 👍🏼
Wow, talk about an old mine I bet you there’s lots of old treasures in there it’s kind of scary to Gregg. Wow.❤ All those treasures wow
going deep in for the goods ! never would guess so much going on in that one little hole!
What an awesome mine! Thank you for going and checking it out!!!

Wow, thank you
Lots of treasures still about insid, just not what they originally dig for. Thanks gour the tour. It was fun. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
Great video i have been with you since your Chanel was a different name wow forget the old name been here since you had 1,800 subscribers wow so happy for you 78,000 subs.
Great work and great content.
Keep it up.
Ps you had sent me some of your diamond wetsaw. Cuttings from all of the different rocks you cut found a few small pieces of silver thanks again.
The old name was tess99991, after my late dog Tess. It was a dumb name for a YT channel
. lol
Fun exploration. Thanks for taking us along.

Cya! 😺🐟 out!
Can't imagine how much work it would be to tunnel through solid Jasper. How far do those mines extend? Great adventure.
It went a long way in. I never got to the end because there was a collapse that looked sketchy
Nice stuff! Thanks for the show. 😊

Awesome video! All those different kinds of rocks. The pudding stone wall was amazing. Really interesting old mine. Thanks for sharing meMiner!
always a fun video by meminer, i was in a bad mood before but im kinda not now, tks
What a nice comment! He always makes you feel better doesn’t he? Take care….😊👋🏼🇨🇦
Looks like some great finds.. Enjoyed the Video.. once again wishing I could find stuff like that
Sweet adventure daisy an Shelby fantastic wow that mine so cool beautiful finds thank you for a awesome adventure
Shelby turns 2 today
2 already wow
what a place mate? all sorts of awesomeness there.
Nice exploration! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Greig.....enjoyed!

It was so interesting in there. I also saw off camera what I thought was fluorite but it didn't glow under UV. Turns out it was cubic calcite.
Look's Like You May Go Back Sometime. 😎👍✌.

the spot is insane
some core drilling of this place would probably by awesome , making some sphere. im into that these days seems like
Great specimens. I'm amazed at the stratigraphy @5:20, beautiful.
Nice specimens, that mine looked super creepy
It was really exciting but at the same time sketchy in places. I want to go back and try to get into the upper level where they brought the ore down from
What a fun adventure! Wish we had something like that here in WV!
not for the claustrophobic lol! you got some beautiful specimens out of there Greig.
Not a place to run out of battery for your light. ;-)
Soooo cool!
Awesome vid!
Glad you enjoyed it
my god this looks dangerous
Wow!!
Darn , I tuned in 21 seconds too late!
i wonder whats hiding underneath all the copper staining
You like....I like!!
Was releaved when you showed cleaned up pieces and heard birds chirping.... your fearless to go in there..😧 not me. No way..
For sure, it's not for everybody. It got more sketchy deep inside so I turned around.

Daisy has only gone into a couple of mines. I'm glad she stayed out of this one. Shelby follows the leader (Daisy, not me).
Hahaha, “Nasty Little Vuggers”…..I laughed so hard at that comment!😂😂👋🏼🇨🇦
Still waiting for the snow to disappear here in North Bay Getting Rockhound fever
I hear you. Bad day for snow yesterday between you and New Liskeard
when you reach a section of the tunnel where there is a bunch of fallen rock but the walls are pretty clean of loose material, does that mean the rock is pressurized and just waiting for any impact to explosively trigger additional rockfall?
@6:41 - 6:53 you show an area where it seems the rock exploded out.
It seems like the areas with splintered but not snapped-off timbers would also show the same pressure.
Is this mine running thru old black smokers?

Good video, and was this a marginal yield copper mine?
I believe the copper/gold ore came from a level above this adit
Looks like your inside a big Conglomerate rock
no botroyidal malachite looking stuff

Is there a mineral show at H.S.M. this year?
Yes. in mid April. I am planning to go. It is a 5 hour drive for me, so I hope the snow will be less so I can also look around the mines when there
@@meMiner Too much snow! We might end up looking for loose change in the Miners Home parking lot.
