Green Gold 2: Prospecting for Black Jade & Green Quartz
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2017
- I start out prospecting for placer jade but get thwarted by angry flying red ant hoards. I discover some aventurine quartz (I think) along the way and I go on the hunt for an old black jade mine I found on Google Earth. Jade prospecting in Wyoming. I filmed in 60fps to reduce camera jumpiness but I can't figure out how to get it to render correctly yet, so I apologize in advance for the jitter and my crappy filming, working on it.

New to your channel, I enjoy your videos they take me back to my old rock hounding days which I can no longer do. I'll just go ahead and relive them through your videos. I didn't have google earth or youtube back then, I depended on old maps that I would find here and there to locate areas to pick. Sometimes I would hit but other times I'd miss. Enjoyed the hunt which ever the outcome. Thanks and Cheers....
That was really cool, fascinating.
Keep on brother...
That's a very old pot. I used to deal in antiques. It's probably left by a miner from the area. Great find. Good piece of history will make a nice rock garden decoration. Great video am enjoying it very much. New to your sight I think I'll sub. I could learn alot from you. Novice rockhounder here. 💜😉☕🍩 Ms Michal
Great little video. I really enjoy these. Thanks for making them and uploading!
Hope you get lucky when you go back. Really like that green quartz too.Thanks for sharing👍
Love the video, and that turn table thing on the back of your truck also rocks great simple idea! pity you did not get to the top because i was so stoked to see the top of that old mine, maybe next time
My favorite rock-hounding quote: We're back. Let's go find some rocks.
I actually went out looking for nephrite after I saw your first video about it. Found some cool pieces of float out around Jeffrey City. Can't wait to cut and polish some of it. Looking forward to your next video.
Nice, hopefully some turns out gemmy!
Glad I found this channel I went to wyotech in Wyoming and I’ve wanted to rock hound it now I didn’t rock collect then I dig your green quartz quite vibrant
The rock you are holding at 1:50 is definetly aventurin. When trekking around tgose rock piles and railings be very aware of rattle snakes and scorpions. They love those kind of areas. Nice video, thank you!
Erdinger Nullfast was thinking the same. got 1 nice polished piece of aventurin wich resembles the stone hes holding there
That Gravel unloader at the end of your video...going to make one out of the tread of an old treadmill...Thanks again for a good video...
Fuck yes man, these Jade videos are by far my favorite, please make more!
US Miner Thks for the cool jade video. I watch a show last year called Jade City
great episode! i just got back from a 2 day adventure from Real del Castillo, but only detected de first day with the GPZ 7000 and the gold monster, i skunked on the GPZ, hit it for over 6hrs, i had to take care of business and handed the gpz over to erick the land owner and in the first 10 minutes he gets one, hahaha, continued for the rest of the day on different patches, that was it. theres lots of big nuggets but it will require obviously more than 8 hrs to learn the machine for the rest of the week erick will use it and ill let you know if he scores th big one. good luck on your next adventure. BS Y FP.
I always wanted to try detecting down in Mexico, that's cool. The Z will hit em if they are there, good machine. I'd still own one if it wasn't so expensive, too much to lose if I break it or gets stolen! Good luck, snag some big ones.
USMiner if you ever whant to check that one on your bucket list let me know and ill take you to private owned land to get some big ones. i can get whatever detector you want to use, you dont even have to bring yours. gl and hh.
That would be awesome! Wow. If I get the time to do something like that I'll definitely get in touch.
Thanks. I like videos on minerals other than gold. never know what I might walk over looking for a gold vein.
Thanks, keep up the classes too prof. Some good videos for anyone reading these comments here and looking at doing some hardrocking for gold.
Best video you've done so far.
Nice find love the green quarts! Oh boy, the next thing I need to buy! You n pup be safe! Hunt the gold too! 👍🏻
Kay Smith I have. This. Is stone is free bat. I want halp
Am.is sot sodan
Oh you catches the day in the year where the ants queens have their flying day
Superb content, subscribed! Looking forward to that Google Earth video.
The "ants with wings" are termites. At some point in their life cycle they develop wings and swarm and fly to new locations to start their next colony. Once they find some wood to make home they drop their wings and bore in to start their next nest.
Teapot was a very cool find.
Tea pot was pointing to secret gold mine. Now how will we find it.
Definitely should have rubbed that tea pot to check for gennies
I find loads of green quartzite and it looks very similar, just much darker and sometimes with thick layered red and white bands.
There is black nephrite jade in the Flint river ga. Fla Indians sometimes used it to make tools and left a thin scattering across north florida
Anyone else noticed the "giant stone foot" right there at the 10:54 mark? - pretty cool video BTW, keep them coming!
Carlos Chacon sure did 😎
great catch!!!!
gold in the heal?
You've been watching some Mudfossil University haven't you? ;p and yes sure looks like one lol
Love your journey hunting gemstone, big thumb 👍 👍 👍 from indonesia
excellent video how did you learn so much about minerals?
Nice green aventurine the black stuff that sometimes occur in it is usally hematite inclusions but on ocassion black tourmaline can occur
Yup , definitely aventurine , which is actually a silicon dioxide (mohs 6+, which is a tad softer than SiO4 quartz) . And yes , "aventurine green" is from chromium in the stone matrix .. nice👍!
Where are you?
If you are keeping your spot secret great.
Can you give the state? Or like northern Idaho?
I love green quartz for some strange reason. I'd love to find a bucket full. I polish it and put it on copper and make jewelry. Something about the green goes really well with copper.
You could definitely get a bucket full out here if you are in Wyoming. I think some of this ended up being chrysoprase (one is on the left in my hand in the video thumbnail), it's very nice cut and polished. Copper oxidizes green so that might lend to the compatibility.
Excellent video thank you 👍
Actually pretty lucky finding a nuptual flight of ants like that.
Ya now your just showing off with that gadget on the back of your truck, lol.
So I'm not sure, what color on that jade was the best ?
I think if those ants are not always there, you probably caught the mating season. They're probably queens and drones
They are mighty termiteees! They're swarming because they're breeding.
what are you doing with the busted out concrete? Is that a garage or what?. It looks like you have more large cracks in your slab. Are you going to replace them too.
Very nice stone ❤
Such a nice country! Where is it? I doesn´t need to know where old jade mine is, but I need to know where is such a nice lanndscape. Where in Wyoming is it?
Yeah I wish I could find this in minnesota or wisconsin
Are you a professional videographer? I am a professional photographer, 30 years. Your information is priceless. Please do not criticize your video work. You are sharing important information.
tea pot probably fell off a horse drawn wagon ,the crush mark looks about the right width for a wagon wheel
Hah, I think you are right! That makes it a bit more interesting.
I loved the ending :D
the red ants attacking you were doing so because it was a nuptial flight, or mating
Do you know of any place in tennessee to go gem/mineral hunting?
Ants fly to the highest point when they swarm each spring
please explain what metamorphs are.
The ants are in nuptial flight, ie breeding. This is when the males and the queen adelades take flight and breed, the queen adelade goes on to be a queen of her own colony and the male dies.
Interested in learning more. As you mentioned in the latter part of this video about helping beginners. I emailed you on your email and also, from a previous RUclips video.
Never heard back from you on either? Thanks
I bet you could sell a lot of those low grade stones for yard stones even as gravel it will look cool.
Hi! I want to learn how to prospect and hunt for gems and minerals but I have a few novice questions 1.) Was this owned land or you were just exploring unowned territory? 2.) How do you know if you are trespassing? 3.) how do you search for places to go Explore?
Hi I'm Rose from kenya 🇰🇪. I have a place where gemstone is.i just want some to explore your welcome.i can show u
Dude, those bugs are not ants. They are termites. They are looking for fresh bare wood. When they find it, they drop those wings, bore in and set up housekeeping until whatever they're living in collapses in a heap of sawdust and excrement.
Man I've got to get out of Laramie this summer some time and poke around for jade..
Got some decent prospects for gold and diamonds down there if the drive is too long.
Your dog looks exactly like mine lol
What do you call that contraption you used for the rocks in the truck bed?
It's a truck bed unloader from Harbor Freight. I hate giving free advertising but it's so much easier than shoveling, I had to trim it down to fit though.
keep on tryin' bro!
Thanks. I just checked your channel out...wow you are one unique individual. Dental proceedures, leeches, enemas, underarm care, chicken ranching and gardening. I've never seen a channel like yours before. Bulgarian? Macedonian?
I have a crystal that i cant really find out what it is , can someone help me
Awesome vid. New sub here!
Another quick story, I had a Yamaha Big Bear a few years back, out looking for pretty rocks, at the top of a very very steep mountain I had to get off, as the 4 wheeler went over I was able to get the gear off but couldn't stop it from going. As is rolled down the mountain, everytime it hit those balloon tires, it gained altitude. When it finally stopped, it was the shape of an Easter egg, funny thing was, this unit was new that day. My insurance agent was so happy with me. They totaled it with one look...
Haha man, yeah I can imagine it doing that. I was leaning half off almost touching the side of the hill, went up on 2 wheels over a rock and just about bailed and let it roll too. Scary to think about. I freaking love my Kodiak though, I spent 15 years prospecting without an ATV at first, best purchase ever!
I'm 69 and pretty disabled, 4 back fusions, both knees, right shoulder, now in 30 days I've got to have my neck (all of it) fused. I have a pain pump in my gut, but I do have a RHINO 660 that hauls me around, about all I can do now... Thanks for the feedback... I appreciate it
Mike Hale Look into Earthing! Hopefully it will help with the pain. So sorry to hear that. If you try it and it works for you let me know. I just read upon it at www.earthing.com.
Hello my friend, what is the lottery for? And how is it?
Where are you finding that type of jade.what state.
That amazing amazonite quartz would sell. I would love a piece. Do you sell?
did you identify the location from looking up the coords from the old claim? Or just browsing sat images until you found some terrain/features that looked interesting?
Didn't know there was an old claim there until I got up there, just browsing aerials and following leads. There was no record of it on LR2000, might be in the county recorder though, I will check. Will definitely explain in more detail in an upcoming video.
What state is that? I remember finding nephriht jade by a beach
Placer Jade? Isn't that just serpentine rock? What's the difference
that one rock looked like a foot with toes. 10:43
Mudfossil university
Rodger suffers from massive PAREIDOLIA ! ! !
those looke like termites.is there wood around there?
What do you use to edit your footage? I use Adobe Premiere and I have to go into Edit> Project Settings > General and in there you set the timeline to 60 fps.
Vegas, it only gives a few options for formats at 60fps. I forget the one I tried but it rendered it, but it was all skippy and the audio was out of sync at 60fps. It was .avi. Usually I just use the 720p or 1080p "Internet Video" MainConcept AVC mp4 codec but it doesn't allow 60fps. I'm not too great with editting and whatnot, I need to spend some time learning someday.
Does it give you a custom option?
I thought u can only find quartz in the neather
Hi.. But i hate to ask this qesistion..here it goes.. I found a spot on a river bank by me that is black sand with green stones mixed in with it... Is that something i should look into more?
Most likely answer if they are larger stones is serpentine or something like olivine but I have no idea. But I think every rock and mineral is worth checking out, always learn something along the way.
USMiner yes always a good ideal to do that but iam not the one who will every one where ite at... God dont what dozers and people coming in there ripping to whole place a part...
Would like get more image of green gold
How much the prize per carat??
Sir How it is identified
Nice video thanks
Can I email you or message you some photos of what I've found!?!? Because I do not know exactly what nor do I have an idea of what I've been finding.
usminer@usminer.com, if you email, be prepared to do some tests though because ID's from pictures is notoriously inaccurate and difficult unless it's something with clear visible cues.
AWESOME, Indeed!! 😎👍👍
True Story
Sincerely,
Tom Weidler
I think the "black stuff" is black tourmaline
My father have green and black like this but its so heavy
How you make a difference between jade and asbest? Is jade harder?
Two completely different rocks, you could never confuse them.
Cool video Put jade into the cows eyes.lol
Do you know of any good crystal/mineral hunting locations in Missouri?
Matthew Bledsoe Jade
where are you?
That's a sign of Ruby's near by. ;]
Good call, actually you are right and there are ruby occurrences nearby, though they are in like a green fuchsite instead of this green quartz stuff.
Like 😁
Ight
Pretty sure those are termites.
how much per grams
I found some cooper green rock and black was not looking for it just hape to walk up it
SO YOU STOLE MY TEA POT!!!!
What state are you in please?
Interesting
How can i sell them?
i never heard about the green gold
Can I join you searching for gemstones
load- i sand it= sell it- that's the point= b4 they charge you trespassing free= land- buy it or leave
Like 💎🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒😁🍀
How much do they cost? Lol
Chrome impurities usually makes red. Copper impurities usually makes green.
Very interesting definitely subbing .....Onward...😎
Looks like serpentine . Lots of it near Canadian border
I believe that’s an elk skull. I say so Bc I just bought a ranch from a hunter/trapper in NM and he has them. He hunted elk each season. But I don’t exactly know my skulls haha.
How you doin? ;)
