Dan is not wrong. I was splitting wood and using a wedge with a mushroom head. A piece shot off and embedded into the bone on my right index finger. Mushrooming a tool and then continuing to use it is very dangerous.
Omg! Is your finger ok now?? Did you need surgery? Hope you’re ok!😮
@@Nan-1017 Because I am right handed and it was the first finger, they advised that I just leave it. This was about 35 years ago. They thought it might cause more damage to take it out. I just did a round of antibiotics and let the wound heal up. You can still see a dark spot and feel a lump in the finger.
Same, except it went into my forearm. Went to hospital to get it removed, they said it’s too deep so leave it. That was 30 years ago.
Same here , except I have shrapnel from chisels and a hammer head in my chest .
In each case the doc decided to leave it in , rather than go digging around .
The stuff will penetrate a surprising amount of clothing before burying up in your hide .
@@kaboom4679 It turns out that bone just encapsulates iron and steel in the body when it is in a bone. It gets covered up and is harmless, unless you need an MRI later in life.
Years spent as a mason I just love the song of feather and wedges
Dan, the field work is awesome but def show us more of the processing side of things because thats really fun to see.
I plan to do a whole video in the cutting shop this winter.
One of the most amazing thing I find with this material is that the picture can look like it was taken from different perspectives.
Wow! Love seeing the process! I never knew about this gorgeous material until now! My favourite colour!
Always love the Ocean Picture Stone videos. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful prospecting adventures.
by far one of my fave stone to
My grandpa was a serious rockhound and cab maker. I remember him showing me some ocean picture stone slabs when I was a kid 30 years ago, and my mom has a necklace with a beautiful ocean picture stone cab he made. I guess it must have come from your claim back in the day, too cool!
Are you sure about that? I'd like to know if his claim was being mined 30 years ago.
@@IdahoFonz I’m sure it looks just like ocean picture stone. I’m not sure it was mined 30 years ago though, could have been way before that. My grandpa was over 60 at that time and had a huge rock and mineral collection from 35 years of collecting by that point.
If you listen to Dan in this video, he said his claim was heavily mined 40 years ago.
Thanks for Ocean Pictures Stone remember really cool to see in person!!!; )
Thank you so much!
i love that a world renowned prospector has his own Picture stone quarry! The beauty in that stone is superb!
It is most likely on the slope of the Hope slide, I know this site guys. You can collect, just pick (no tools) up 100 kg in 30 minutes. )
Dan i love that you teach people, if there is enough cake. dont be mad if someone else gets a piece aswell :) 'salute
I had no idea Ocean Picture Stone was a thing! 😳 Absolutely stunning!!
Another wonderful video Dan and family. Thanks for having us along
Dan got his aerobic points in today!
Another bonza video Dan, and G'day to the Hurd herd
That stone is absolutely awesome! It is by far the prettiest stone in the world! You're very lucky to have that claim! Happy holidays, and thanks for sharing, Dan!
Those are incredible OPS slabs Dan! Stunning and beautiful! Your claim is one of a kind and I appreciate you, Dayna and Evan so taking us along with you. I hope that I can own a piece one day. I know these will be sold out quickly. Thanks for the clarification of only one place to find OPS. I had no idea about the other "claim" made. I appreciate the respect you offered to the claim owner next to yours. You have a big heart, and that is so rare these days! Blessings from Alabama ❤️
Who else loves the sound of Dan hitting the feather and wedges and hearing the sound of the ping increase in tone as it gets deeper into the rock?
Me!! 😁
That picture stone is amazing.
New Dan Hurd OPS video? Let's go!
Thank You for putting out such Awesome 😎 Content !!!
You’re videos provided so much interesting information ℹ️!
Dans gunna take down that mountain one wedge at a time 🤣👍
The insides of these stones look like paintings. I was wondering where the name came from throughout the video, but now I see. Awesome stuff
some slabs literally look like an oil painting of a beach horizon, some even have sunset clouds. amazing
Good morning Dan and Hurd Herd 🌞 many blessings to you all❤
Blessings to you too, Susan!
These slabs show just how amazing nature is. Thanks for sharing Dan.
I really enjoy your enthusiasm for this hobby.
I just finished separating out all of the gem garnets from the pay dirt I got from you, and they are amazing! I'm using them in a ring that I'm making my dad for Christmas.
What a blast fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
So Cool Dan!! Just love your set-up and your knowledge of mining and rocks is overwhelming! Thank you so much for sharing with us! God Bless!!!
They look amazing Dan! Looks like very hard work getting it out but its worth it..
Great to see Evan up there with you and Dayna... it's great that you take him along...
Enjoy a break over the holidays...🙂🙏🇳🇿
I would love to have even the less desirable pieces. I would like to have fossils or picture stone for back splash in my kitchen. Very nice Dan.
Nice ocean scenes, I think some of the best you've shown. That pendant @ 18:47 is incredible, looks just like a breaker crashing onto the beach.
As Dan flips all the machines on, ....the lights dim in the Okanagan for a moment... lol
Wow, totally fascinating, never seen anything like this before, I can understand the enthusiasm, how exciting it must be to find this stuff! 👏😀👍
Dan, I have done some stone cutting. Along with the feathers and wedges,, I have found it,, in some stones, to be a distinct advantage to use a 3 inch stone chisel (not a brick chisel) and do a skip blow pattern before I begin driving the feathers and wedges. It would seem that a good solid dead blow will drive an invisible flaw 2 to 4 inches down into the stone. Sooo, that the feather and wedge crack has a direction ready to chase. I base the depth of the flaw upon,,, when I have recut 2 inch granite slabs with a chisel,, I can get a near perfect square cut, with just a hammer and chisel. The trick is a true dead blow. That is what drives the flaw deep into the stone.
I demonstrate this exact technique in my video about feather and wedges.
Great ocean rocks . Your the best Dan
I agree drama isn't good to involve yourself in, it's better to be happy for others and be nice.
Sometimes drama comes for you unavoidably but I really like the way you handled it those times you brought it up in the past.
poor Evan...born to be a rock mule extraordinaire!
Excellent Wow those were all so beautiful Brother, Thank You 💘🌞🦋
Never stop learning from dans video
WOW! AMAZING!... MERRY XMAS!
I know you are drilling outdoors, but seeing that all that rock dust makes me nervous for your health. Take care of yourself Dan, we all want you around for a good long time.
Drizzle water as you drill..😊
No dust
And it helps the drill’s operation 👍🏻
I love the sound the feather and wedges make when you hit them.
I'm glad you're still finding such beautiful stones, keep in touch with meminer. You're both very inspiring because your pursuit has not stopped.
I’ve never Seen this before. Beautiful.
Absolutely brilliant ‼️😎🤠 Thanks Dan‼️
Dans such a lovely fella with a friendly leprechaun vibe 😊
It's great to see you and your family happily scurrying about and finding all of that wonderful stone!
The bits I ordered will be arriving tomorrow and I'm stoked!!
Thanks Dan and Dayna!! 😎💙💙
AMAZING end result ❤ I’m lost for words. I was looking like this (😮) the whole time 😂
That is some absolutely amazing stone. Nature does make some beautiful art.
And yeah, its best to just say its the same vein just a different claim. Its still rare. So why not be happy to share in it. Thanks for showing us the cuts. Some of those pieces were fantastic.
You are like peak Canadian, even as a crazy ol' prospector! Polite, informed, informative, fun to watch and (I'm guessing) be around...
I vote for a ROCK album by Dan... the many pitches of Stoned!
Dan you need to get you a chisel attachment for your hammer drill and after drilling multiple holes. You won’t have to beat on those wedges so much. Just a suggestion so you’re not wasting time and wearing yourself out. 👍🏼
17:45 that rock looks like a painting of the beach, extremly beautiful!
Good stuff Dan love watching your videos always excited to see your notifications!
Beautiful stuff. I wonder if one could quarry it for a countertop? I would even consider creating a mosaic of small pieces if you could get consistent thicknesses.
Nature has some beautiful stones, fossils and minerals. Beautiful blue not normally seen.
Dan what does your electric bill look like🤪🤪 Lover your videos and all the information😍😍 Not to mention the beautiful scenery in the background of your calms 🥰
We notice it on the electric bill when we are cutting a lot. It does add up.
Yup safety glasses and leather gloves… but I love the song the wedges make.
They truly look like ocean paintings, beautiful stuff congratulations.
Fascinating video! I hafta say, however, every time I see your thumb on top of that hammer I hear my blacksmithing instructor say, "Do you want carpal tunnel? 'Cause that's how you get carpal tunnel." hahaha
The most satisfying videos are if you cutting ocean picture stone. We never get to see the end product polished and made into well, anything. Would live to see finished gold and then made into something. I can hope. lol. Keep up the great content Dan’o, can’t wait for the next
Um.... am I miss reading this comment? Or did you not watch the video till the end?
That mid grade looks like stormy blue (sea on a stormy day) 🔥🔥🔥
I just got some of the large and small chips for my wife and kids. Of course, I'm the one who does stone fabrication for a living, so I'll be doing the cutting and polishing.
Proper way of feather and wedges is to score the rock with a flat chisel first before drilling the holes.
The chunk in the blue saw looked like a slab of blue prosciutto!
The slabs with gray rock look breathtaking 😮 ❤, like straight from a oil painting or something similar
Love your OPS, Dan. Question: I'm sure you probably explained this in an early OPS video, but what mineralization is involved here? Hydrothermal fluids for sure, but are these copper-rich fluids? What's the host rock? Many thanks, happy to be subscribed!
Gorgeous!
I like the feathering and wedging....they play my favourite tunes!
Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
17:11 Just saying!! These samples here are exquisite!! Amazing stuf!!
I can’t decide whether Dan’s jade or OPS is my favorite.
the blades u use for cutting rock look really familiar to me, i used me make a plate that sort of blade it used to be coated with a 24/60 diamond grit but we used to coat in different grit size depending on the customer.
theres loads of companies that make them but it looks very simular to what i used to make.. cool video very cool looking stone as well.
How beautifull an egg from this stuff would be an ocean egg 😮
Beautiful stuff!
staying away from the metals and focusing on rock. What would a guy living in the wild benefit from the rock you find? Another great video!! TY Dan
Nothing. That's kind of the beauty of it. It serves no "real" purpose other than how it looks and the value we put on it.
Dan Dan you the man.
We always enjoy Dan! Thanks for all the information and content you provide!!
very beautiful pieces
A very beautifull exotic rock !!
That stone is a beautiful color, thanks for sharing
You should get a backhoe attachment for your bobcat and a jack hammer attachment. You should be able to get it in there and move and take out large bolders of the whole seam saving as much of the blue as possible. Then you can slice it up with some diamond roap like they use in quarries to cut blocks.
After years of misuse I've mushroomed my tool as well. Good looking out.
Dan. I saw you on TVO tonight/ 2.30am Sunday morning. The World's Most Scenic Railway. Rocky Mountaineer.
Congrats Dan, maybe you could use your recently acquired backhoe skills and dig a giant chunk off and leave it in the bucket until you get back to your place? You could simply walk out your door and chip chunks off?
Permits are in the works for machinery up there.
At 17:06: those slabs on the bottom right, the first big three: they all show a piece of the ocean, with a fishing-village on the rocks, a bay on the left, one more bay on the top right corner...
Just put those in an frame, find a name for it, and sell them for 2k a piece. Totally worth it!
I'd have to say I think those are the best slabs you've ever cut from your mine I like that there was lots of Islands in the water the mist and the spray from the waves crashing onto the rocks they look amazing🍻
real exceptional material as always. even that mid grade stuff looks awesome.
Wow. Fantastic.
Awesome video thanks for sharing amazing pictures and scenery
Not really interested in the stone, but it was interesting to watch you work. Thanks for sharing. 😀
Watch out for the guy on the next door claim. Now he has a legitimate deposit on his land, he could easily "find" alot of stone. He could go to your claim when you are not there and take what he wants. Then use his claim to legitimise the mineral as his. Once its been "fenced" it is his. Worth installing some trail cams to cover your area , so you can check he doesn't Rob yours.
It sounds like Dan knows the fella. So hopefully he doesn't pull that kind of stunt
That's exactly what i was thinking that would hurt😮
Great slab cuts Dan
That’s gotta be close to home! That type of scenery is all to familiar!
You asked, "what will I find...”
My answer is "beautiful material that reminds me of what I lost when the neighbors recent tire fire literally melted my entire shop".
Did you know that aluminum diamond wheel hubs will melt right out of the brass and diamond rings leaving them lay directly on the grinder shaft.
I lost my 12 inch saw, all my single and three phase grinders, my 8inch cab machine, not to mention my lathe,mill and a lifetime of master mechanic tools.
That being said, this will be spectacular material for someone to enjoy.
I will never stop rockhounding, and I hope to some day at least get a 6 inch cab machine.
Long live the rocks!
Love your setup for cutting!
Dan - maybe you should mention the sound of the wedges as they are hammered home.
