I heard unending tales of their shenanigans growing up. The locations you go to are names from their stories! Most of them spent time in the mines.
      Your videos are calm, full of your patience and good humor. I have been so happy to get to know you and your dogs thru the years. They have helped ground me, more often than not, in these crazy times. Thank you. It is not enough.

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  2 года назад +2

      These are high grade. When you see wire, it can be 97%. Typically, from this area, I would assume 50% silver if it shines when rubbed and combined with cobalt/arsenic and nickel, sometimes copper and then small percentages of other stuff such as gold, copper, niobium, zinc, etc. I have only had a few tested.

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  Год назад +1

      It depends on the quantity you are addressing and the form the silver takes. Where I am getting silver, the rock can be mechanically broken and the silver removed, sometimes as solid vein or leaf. Other areas it should be crushed and refined with acids. That is much more complex.

    • @TheMottamotta
      @TheMottamotta Год назад

      and that's exactly where I go. The silver ore must be crushed. It's a complicated process and I don't find much silver lining either. We are a small country and most importantly, everything here is deep underground and no one will allow us to mine. I envy you Americans. maybe I will finally be able to go to America and find something wonderful. Thank you for your reply and I'll keep my fingers crossed for further research.

    Cool, loved every moment.
    That was my stash, I threw those down the hill, every third rock of silver went for my stash but I never got the chance for getting it because I got drafted .
    That specimen is worthy of any collection, the structure is amazing and its typical that I never get any praise for the design that's why I stopped forming it , my artistic flair was wasted on that silver so I went on and mixed up some crazy lace in Mexico which was an instant hit but stupid me didn't patent it, that was why I changed my name from pat pending, now I'm known as tall story, don't confuse that with the other writers name, he has no R's and probably can't sit down.
