Metal Detecting for Natural Silver at an old mine and polishing the smaller pieces in a rotary rock tumbler. The result is a heaping handful of silver.
Awww ☺️ Love the editing 😂 At first I thought, oh my goodness you witnessed a wreck . Awesome video as always , I can rock hound vicariously through your videos . Thank you for sharing Angel hugs and blessings to you and yours 🕊🕊🕊🕊
What’s better than seeing silver in the raw?? Seeing silver in the raw polished up a bit! What a perfect little experiment! I also prefer the darker stones contrasted with the bright ‘lightening’ silver! 😍 So gorgeous! I wish I knew more about metal detecting and identifying. Such a cool hobby. 👍
Awesome adventure daisy sure gets excited to go out with you great introduction 😂😂 yes you have a angel with you great eye wow you sure got some beautiful samples tumbled up real sweet awesome my friend thank you
She is so excited for an adventure. She knows I am going somewhere fun by the clothes I put on. Doesn't even lift her head off her bed when I dress for work. ;-)
Daisy loves Cobalt. She wakes up when we get north of North Bay and I always stop at Tilden Lake so she can have a swim. She gets really excited when we turn onto Coleman Road in Cobalt. She rolls the window down and sticks her head out. After a trip, she sleeps for 3 days.
Very nice looking after tumbling and polishing. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.
You're doing a great job with you videos, doing a great job of chasing down that sassy silver as well. I enjoy your tumbler results, spectacular! Nicely done, and all the best, Lanny
Wonderful rocks....Just WoW!!🙌🏼👀 Thank God that wasn’t you in that truck🤭😂 Keep the great videos coming meMiner! Daisy is such a good girl keeping up with you...Sweet dog♥️🐶
And the rest of the story: We had a great time exploring and prospecting with Pauly. When it was time to leave, he gave us some placer gold. Amy has it on her shelf. Hopefully, we can all get together again soon. Perhaps, Pauly wants to try metal detecting for silver?
Amazing job on the video, really appreciate seeing the rocks up close and your amazing communication skills made it educational and fun to watch... Thank you for sharing.
@@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469 Hello Rebecca, Thank you very much, yeah i'm like a bad penny, just can't get rid of me. Just curious why you put an e in Brookefarm. Merry christmas.
Best way I found to clean "Cobalt rocks" with a tumbler is just add a half a cup of 1/4" hex head metal screws (stainless ones for wood stove chimneys work best) and the beads (I use airsoft BBs) run it at 30 minute intervals.. just pull 1 out and see what it looks like to judge it - assuming you want clean rocks with minimal rounding of the edges and smoothing of the surfaces
@@meMiner I let it go for 2 hours once and it was too much. They ended up like the ones in this video (which look GREAT.. but you know the deal lol end goal for me is JUST cleaning, no shaping)
Dude! Duuudddeee! Awesome! They're really cool looking like that, pretty awesome. I had too watched the beginning twice , that guy flew out of the truck. But I did remember watching that video. It kinda scared me for a minute 😳 😂 I see you have your cast off. Awesome video, it was funny and I like the music too. I hope you have a awesome blessed day. Cya!
The larger Cobalt rock with the beautiful pink would look really great next to my Black Calcite Specimens. It sees you do as well by eye as with the metal detector !! It was good to see Daisy !! Again, best wishes to you and the family this Holiday Season. Take Care and God Bless !!
@@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469 Awesome name... Yes, it is on my mining claim in Arizona. The calcite contains manganese and silver. Under Shortwave UV, it glows like molten rock fresh from a volcanic vent.
We love prospecting silver and found large deposits on our land last year. Silver isn't as popular as gold, so seeing your video here is real treat because Molly and I are serious geology hounds! ~Wendi
Some great looking pieces. As you said once tumbled they should make some interesting pieces. To me they look like great specimens for the display case especially those with the silver veins and the one with copper, cobalt & silver. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
I like the ones that are pure silver or have a nice mix with different metals and stone separated in different parts of the specimen. The latter should be nice for cabbing. Merry Christmas
Well you did great you got a nice haul out of there and actually you showed me what to look for now I’ll have to double guess everything I look at and feel the weight between the stones well thank you my friend and one day when I get to Canada I’ll look you up I live in a little town outside of Boston mass called north reading
I still think I need a slab.. I remember the beginning challenge for what would you do with a slab. I absolutely love the intro... You amaze us every time you do a video. You, Quest for Details, Liz Karrate and clint black painting were what carried me through my lengthy recovery from rotator cuff surgery.. I'm not who I was but I'm better than I was and grateful for you and the others... Happy Holidays.
I've done a fair bit of gold prospecting, especially when I was a kid, but never considered silver to be as findable as this! I'm starting to adjust my plans for this summer now!! Planning to be getting back out there and doing this more again. Use to do this a lot back in the 90s when I was just out of school. Now the kids are pretty much grown up and its time to start these adventures again!! Thanks for the insightful encouragement!! Also have done a lot of rock hunting and tumbling too, LOVE the results of the tumbled silver rocks!! I have to make some for myself now to add to my collection!!! Goes hand-in-hand with some of the scroll fret woodworking I also do, making coin displays for collectors and other specialty pieces. I'm thinking tumbled silver rocks set in woodwork pieces framed around a mirror design would look beautiful!! Later!!
I got back into gold prospecting because of my daughter. I had gold fever when I was younger. Getting back out brought it back. First time with Amy was when she was 9. We drove around BC in a red convertible Mustang. Not a great prospecting vehicle, but we had a hoot. I really like detecting for silver. I find gold in grams and silver in kilos. ;-)
@@meMiner Nice! Luck for you! I had 2 daughters and they were not into the camping and getting dirty kind of thing, so I had to kind of put my interests on hold and do gymnastics and other stuff I didn't care for... but it was worth it!!! They're 19 and 20 now, so I am free to roam again!!! I live in northern Indiana, so getting out west is a trip of its own! Figuring to hit Colorado and work my way west. Still have my old GPAA mining guides from the 90s, so I'll be working my way around out there this summer!! I'm building a new 2" dredge right now for the trip. Take care!!!!
Great show 👏! Incredible specimens especially the one shaped like a heart! Very befitting for your collection you must keep it! You seriously need a york rake behind your four wheeler or me to rake for you.....🤔
Really nice video. I love watching your videos. They are so relaxing in these times. I wish we had the geology that you have in Canada her in Georgia. We have some nice areas to collect but they are fee areas and stay closed most of the time. The nuggets turned out great. Have a Merry Christmas and God Bless you and your family.
It no longer amazes me how the nickel plant here I live can give out wages to its workers just because of all the silver, gold and platinum that is in the Canadian nickel ore they use.😁🤩👍👍👍 Thank You for sharing the good stuff mate👌 I reckon You will enjoy a white Christmas in Canada, while we here in southern Norway Christmas is raining away💦☔️🥽👙
Gosh those old flooded shafts look so dangerous. 😱. I would love to do that one day. Problem is, it is wayyyy up north. 😉 Merry Christmas to you all! 🌟🎄✨
It is a good trip if you have 3+ days. So much exploring. It would be a 5+ hour drive for you. Also, there is some good fishing IF you are into that. hehe
That is worth a good amount of money, at least $2,000 USD Edit: I think not selling it and putting the good pieces away would be smarter. It would be nice to find a thick flat piece of silver like that one in the thumb nail
@@McChrister Thanks buddy, I am all about humour, not enough laughter in the world. Ironically I can't laugh, that is true, I really can't laugh, I have a complex disorder including something called cataplexy, it ruined my life so I try and put joy into the life of others. Have a good christmas.

Awesome adventure daisy sure gets excited to go out with you great introduction 😂😂 yes you have a angel with you great eye wow you sure got some beautiful samples tumbled up real sweet awesome my friend thank you
There are lots of old mines on the Island, but I am not aware of any that were for silver. Maybe someone else has a different opinion.
So pretty. Thanks for the getaway
You bet!
What a puppy dog she is always ready to go when you are she is the real treasure!! Go get it daisie
She is so excited for an adventure. She knows I am going somewhere fun by the clothes I put on. Doesn't even lift her head off her bed when I dress for work. ;-)
You dig the silver... I'm digging the sound effects ...lol... super nice specimens...!
Much appreciated
Wow! How beautiful they turned out! Thanks for another great video.
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nicely done meminer!
Cool experimentation. Thanks for sharing!
The tumbled silver nuggets are so beautiful.
That silver polished up nicely! Awesome video and I would love to see more!

Hello my friend. Nice gems
Those are nice lookin , thanky kindly brother👊

There is deep snow now. I am sure we will talk before spring. ;-)
If Pauly comes to Ontario i will shave my tiny kid moustache

If he can fly I will gladly pay for the secret, the ultimate eco friendly travel.
That would be shweet collab!
Hook me up if he comes to Cobalt with you, Greig! I think me and him would get along real well lol
That was pretty cool...😎✌️
see how excited Daisy was it was nice to bump into you this yr in cobalt

Thanks Lanny. Hopefully next year will be a good year for sassy BC gold.
Great video. Thank you. I hope you can get another one out before Christmas. Thanks
That's the plan!
that was cool👍 entertaining as always thanks for sharing☺
It made my Christmas watching my best friends son open up a rock tumbler this year
Nice. Hope he enjoys it. Best bet to get him hooked is get him some agate.
Wonderful rocks....Just WoW!!🙌🏼👀 Thank God that wasn’t you in that truck🤭😂 Keep the great videos coming meMiner! Daisy is such a good girl keeping up with you...Sweet dog♥️🐶
Thanks 👍
Awesome looking Silver, looking like I'm going to have to give this a try thanks for sharing.

Your such an artist, beautiful
So beautiful! Have a safe and healthy holiday to you and your loved ones!

Those pieces polished up really nice! I gotta give that a try ! 👍
Go for it!
That is really cool. Couldn’t see what you were pointing out as you were gathering the pieces. But after, very nice!!!

I tried jewelry mix and wasn't happy with the results. I might try your approach.
@@meMiner I let it go for 2 hours once and it was too much. They ended up like the ones in this video (which look GREAT.. but you know the deal lol end goal for me is JUST cleaning, no shaping)
@@CobaltOntarioadventures Next time, I might just try polish and let it run for a couple of weeks.
That’s impressive to find rough silver in nature. Well done sir!
It is fun for sure
Love the polished stones. Ect..
Would love to have a few of those to make some great pendants.
That snow coming down
Job well done God bless you brother
Sweet silvaaaaa

Looking forward to another silverrrrrrr video!
You will know where I was detecting. ;-)
....Dont we all... lmao
I wish I had the chance to go out and find silver like that.
It always amazes me what was left behind in tailings. Those pieces polished up marvelously!
... and still, the old timers got rich
Wow those look awesome
I would say that was quite a successful experiment!
Daisy needs Paw Shoes for Snow Season
She limps when she gets ice between her toes. Me too.
That drunk got tumbled for too many on the rocks. Enjoyed watching ✌
LOL

That grated soap looks delicious
I was wondering if the same ingredients are in the borax that people use..
Those are way prettier than I thought they would be. I wonder if a little paste wax would keep them shiny?
I met someone who used automotive Armor All. I guess that is kinda the same
Some great looking pieces. As you said once tumbled they should make some interesting pieces. To me they look like great specimens for the display case especially those with the silver veins and the one with copper, cobalt & silver.
