    The first videos of yours that I watched were of you hunting apatite crystals. That was the first I knew that pulling crystals out of the dirt was a thing that anybody could do if they knew where to look. It was really my introduction to rockhounding, which opened up a whole new world of fun! This takes me back. Thank you, meMiner!

    As usual Greg, you never cease to wet my apatite. Another great video.
    My wife has been chomping at the bit to go hounding. So this year we'll probably start In Wyoming then end up in Montana.
    Thank's so much for the video and keep on hounding pal. Until the next one.

    Thanks for the great videos, always looking forward to the next one!

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  Год назад +1

      I have a few detectors, but no video about my favourites. The best detector is the one (somewhat modern) designed for that application and at the end of the day the one you know how to use. ;-)

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  Год назад

      It was a hot day, but lots of places for pups to swim. The road is much improved since the forestry company was in there so you car should be fine once things dry out. I considered going across the duck pond, but it was muddy and not a great place to get stuck. Not a bad walk anyway, as long as one has some water on a hot day

    Sometimes apatite can have a nice fluorescence response in UV. if you have a UV light, A, B or C wavelengths, it might be worth checking if it will react at all.

    I didn't jump straight in this time, I wanted information on what you are looking for and advise everyone to do the same, I wonder if they will get as angry as I did when I found out what they mine it for, nice healthy pot plants at home.
    The challenge is probably knowing the exact mineral you are finding, from what I gather there are three types, male, female and trans, oops wrong topic, my bad.
    But there are three types that are very similar, apetite, good apetite and frickin hungry , nope wrong again, that's the trouble when you have short term memory loss, you don't know you have short term memory loss because you can't remember.
    So, what was I saying, ah yes, well that's what I think anyway, I think, can't really remember.
    Unfortunately I'm only going to get worse, lol.
