I wanna say thank you. I have learned a lot! Excited to mine and find some silver. Been looking for gold for 6 years, and have found very little. Moving onto silver and excited on my search!!!
Thank you for your video. I had an interesting experience today in SE AZ. A friend took me to a church high on the side of a mountain. As I walked along the keystone and brick paths I noticed laying beside them were a mix of sedimentary rock, slate and granite rocks that were displaced to form the walkways cut into the dirt hillsides. I continued until the path ended, but proceeded along the hillside anyway hoping to find the source for all these different rocks. Another hundred of so feet I found what I was looking for - a massive rock face 50x150 feet exposing sedimentary rock, slate and a vein of granite between 3/4 - 1&1/2 inches running the entire length of the surface. But even more spectacular was along the vein was what appeared to be a very bright, shiny, silver in color, foil-thin metal that I can only describe as melted to the surface of the granite. I managed to break some of the chunks of granite out, as cracks ran across it from what appeared to be the hillside settling. Other pieces of the silver colored metal I carved out with my pocket knife. Not having a background in geology or any training whatsoever, I'm extremely puzzled as to what this metal is; can anyone reading this shed light on the probabilities? Thank you.
The most common ore of silver is galena, in which it is a minority component and is returned at the smelter or separated in the flotation process. The word "ore" means the economic mineral from which one or more metals are extracted. Silver minerals like the sulphosalts of silver are usually very shiny (adamantine lustre) and soft. These may occur in veins but are often not important as "ore".
@@gloriabadon2694 It's not an easy answer. It depends what you think you will be doing mostly (water, beach, nugget, etc) and the area you plan to detect. I am a big fan of buying used, but not one that is too old. Many people buy a detector and only use it a few times. Just be careful not to buy a fake.
For sure, at some mines, it is know to be associated with galena. Antimony and bismuth can also be relatively common associates of galena at some mines too.
Question Would the slices you made be suitable for use as tile?From the video it looks like something I might "sideline"thAt is takeing ore specimen and cutting them up for tile.that last piece you cut up would look super cool as a back splash on an out door cooking island or bar next to the pool,
Very interesting question. My initial reaction is it might be awful expensive tile. Larger samples of good are rare and getting quite difficult to find. On the other hand, I am sure nickel and cobalt would also make nice pieces and they shine up like chrome if polished. The resulting pieces would need to be sealed so there is no oxidation of the minerals. You would also need a large saw. If you try it, let me know how it turns out.
I would never use rock with silver in it, as tile. Unless I already had more money than I knew what to do with. But, the nickel and cobalt would make awesome tiles.
I just read that some of the local mansions in the area (owned by the claim holders) used silver ore from their mines in the rock for their fireplaces. Expensive fireplaces...
Indeed. As a broke human with modest needs compared to most people, and as a person who has not yet been able to even put a modest shelter and a well on the lot I bought in Nevada, that I hope to call home---using silver ore in a fireplace is unfathomable to me.
Great video I was curious to know on where does one typically find silver? Besides silver mines can these type of rocks be around banks of creek ? Up in mountain Area's? I ask that question because I live in a area of pennsylvania with a big history of silver even the native indians. made there arrow heads out of silver. Im a metal detectorist an would love to venture out an find some of these rocks
There is some gold in PA creeks but silver is too soft to last long in the crush of moving water. It can be dropped by glaciers and found, but usually within a few miles of the source. Honestly, the best bet is drive north across the border and don't stop until you are in the areas known to have silver.
@@meMiner thank you for the info on that I appreciate it. I wanna research a lil more on my area there's alotta silver out here a big glacier ripped thru this area long ago an alotta ferous metals including quite a few diamonds were found I just gotta search deep, there's even towns around me up in these hills named after silver. Sterling etc etc spoke to a few of old timers. They told me its out here just gotta metal detect far an wide .. I was in a lil museum looking at artifacts the natives actually made arrow heads out of silver its pretty awesome they were hip to precious metals.
Is it possible to have silver veins in dirt or clay , I also saw a large bolder that was a blueish grey , but I poured a slab and built a garage over it
@@meMiner I was thinking of making a root cellar and dig under the building till I hit the boulder . then chip a chunk off and use a metal detector on it or bust it up and melt it down with borax .
Is there any way to field test for metal by sound? Like you know how jade rock makes a metallic ping when struck? Do precious metals and alloys make the same kinda loud ping when struck?
Not really. At least, not in any way that I have found useful. However, weight is a great indicator (heavy being better). Breaking the rock to see what it looks like inside fresh works pretty good. Also, silver vein is usually rough and feels like crumpled tin foil when rubbed. Of course, an XRF works great, but a quality metal detector can also give an indication.
Yeah I've got myself a bounty hunter gold digger that's actually proven itself very useful quite a few times!! I definitely need to get a pin pointer though! Would one help separate between vein material (if not visible) and "hot rock" pretty well? Also thankyou for the quick response and awesome videos you share!!
@@meMiner oh sure thing! That good old hematite/magnatite, iron rich minerals. I have this one fairly large and heavy for its size, sedimentary rock that I found in byron Maine that has me puzzled. It definitely has some silver in it but there is also a few other distinctive metals in it also. Suppose I oughta try and crush it and smelt it!
I don't use bleach on silver. Bleach is an oxidising agent, so would turn the surface black. The black can probably be removed with a commercial silver polish.
I found a rock,it has a dime size spot on it thats shiny and well silver ...there is white rocks around and white rocks with pink and iron looking... but this one rock was dime size silver spot on it...a magnet doesn't pick it up but will push it a little...wtf did I find?
meMiner yea , I bought mines from amazon but it took like 3 weeks to arrive so I think it came from China. It only pick up metal that is the size of a quarter or larger . Anything smaller than that, it won’t beep
@@Bponyi Dang. My Garretts work much better than that. If it is a real Garrett, there is a way to improve sensitivity by pressing the on-button. If it is a China knockoff, get a new one.
I'm in a location where I believe it was hot springs material coming up carrying different minerals. And I dug into an area that started out goldish color and was very fine sand type material. My metal detector told me it was gold and it was only about a foot deep. Underneath it was this gray material that I never checked with my metal detector until after watching this video. It says it's copper silver. And it's very Battleship Gray color. I thought it was just some kind of clay. I was able to dig into it with a little adjustable Army shovel that I had sharpened the edge to make it easier to cut through the dirt. now that I've seen this video I couldn't see the colors perfectly, however it looked Battleship Gray. I can't really tell what the shiny portion of the silver is doing in the photos or video. so I'm thinking that if this is the case that I've got a silver copper ore oh, it could be very rich. no other reason than the fact that it rings up as silver half dollars and a penny also on my metal detector. thank you for showing a better video about silver or. Does it always have to be shiny? or can it be in teeny particles that don't shine?
Silver will oxidize black. Hard to say what is in your spot from the description, but my first thought is mica in clay. Best bet is to pan some down to wash out the clay and hopefully leave heavies behind. If the resulting heavies are a metal, then you should look at the surrounding rock. You might have "pocket gold" where the host rock has degraded into clay and the gold has accumulated straight down. Good luck.
There are records of (an unheard of) 4000oz/ton. The original miners ignored anything less than 200 oz/ton. Later they had the technology to profitably mine lessor grades and even process the tailings from earlier mines.
Thanks for the shout out! I have a couple more videos to upload soon too, just been busy the last week or so. I'll have to make a good one of some that I cut. I've only done one or 2 quick ones. I will say that my rides take forever these days because I'm always stopping and looking around hahaha It's always exciting for me anyways. I was at Cross lake the other day and noticed they had a Peterson construction truck there and so I went back after. They dug out the first adit (the famous one from the dumbass ' video) and made a cement wall I'm front of it, then put the fence back on the top foot or so of it. (I'll make a video of that too real quick one of these days) I wonder if they're going to go down the whole side of the lake, there's 2-3 more still open with rock in front of them.
Well, get into the tailings that they moved as soon as you can. Might be some great stuff exposed. It won't last long before somebody else has the same idea. I plan on coming up in Sep. Too darn hot right now.
+tess99991 I actually did look around and found a few pieces I brought home. They didn't move around as much as I was hoping lol BUT... if they do the other 2-3 that are right past that one, there will be more exposed for sure.
Thank you body, ı have lot of think to do, ı work very hurt, ı dont have a place to do this kind of cuting, to make stons collection est. Salute from Turkey again.
..take a look at the silver ore specimens and slabs from my Badger Silver Mine, Thunder Bay on MINDAT....up to 19,000 o.p.t. Most of the Cobalt, ON stuff is actually toxic cobalt and nickel arsenides...there's none of that here...I don't bang my stuff down and pan it out...lol..it's cut into 1/4" slabs for making jewelry cabochons from...
I will check them out. I love looking at nice pics. Cobalt is a 6-7 hour drive for me. TB is probably 17-18 hours. Still, I might be there later this month for a few days.
Hello Mr. meMiner, thanks for the silver identification video. I was wondering if you could tell me where you got your beautiful flat flagstone? Or could suggest areas where us Ontarioittes can hunt some down? Especially the free kind :p
Most of my flagstone came from a farm in Wiarton, Ontario. It is awful heavy to transport yourself. I got similar for another project from a rock yard in Brooklyn, Ontario. That was closer to home and they allowed me to pick my own pieces, but charge by the pound.
Awesome stuff man! Always educational and interesting. I'm searching my families property for any sort of geological anything that isn't boring old shale bedrock. I think its shale? It looks like clay turned to sheets of stone. I dunno where to look!!!!! Lol
@@meMiner is there a possibility for any cool stuff mixed in the shale of western ny? I've heard that theres kimberlite that can be found in fallen tree roots, but do you know if appetite or anything else cool is in this type of bedrock? I'm not even sure what website would be a good one to study
@@stewdeezie1212 I understand western NY is mostly sedimentary Paleozoic rock. There is some collecting. Best bet to get started is look at the maps of the area on mandate.org and drill down on where minerals have been found before
Wow! That's the best starting direction that I've ever gotten. Thanks! I'm going to use that website for sure. I just uploaded my first couple of videos on youtube today. The first one is pretty short but just a clip of my kids panning in the creek. Pretty fun so I figured I would share it
We also have some mines in Ontario with galena. Some of these also had gold. Where I look for silver is higher grade, associated with nickel, cobalt and bismuth, but only one mine there had economic gold.
Thanks for giving me the knowledge of if it shines back in the shade it is platinum well you did not make my day my shiny stone did not shine back platinum is 1000 Dollars a oz
This watches like a horror movie - I felt like I was about to watch this guy chop off his thumb at any moment. I kept yelling “no! Don’t make another cut!!!” Other than that, it was a pretty cool video.
Cobalt deserves to be better known - for all of its history, positive impact on mining and the help to the early 1900's Ontario economy. Also, it is still a good place to find silver ore.
I am now using a different camera. I was using a GoPro and found a problem with the lens. Thanks for the feedback. It took me longer than it should have to discover the issue.
how KNOW i have a Silver IN MY PANS 11??SORRY FOR A BIG LETTER IM NOT HUNGRY BUT ...IS MY FUCKING TAB LETTERS ...............ALSO ...

M having tons of galena ores.. how can I extract silver .
There are multiple processes available and forums dedicated to the task. Google how to refine silver from galena and be prepared for an education.
Very informative.
I found a rock with my metal detector and am not sure what it is and I can't find any more like it but it does the same with a pin pointer
Frustrating eh? Could be anything from melted beer cans, to magnetite to precious metal. Show it to somebody who might be able to help.
OMG they looks Platinum ❤️
This Ore looks like from a hot source. How much oz per ton they claim at that Ore Mine for reference? Nice Cab Material!
There are records of (an unheard of) 4000oz/ton. The original miners ignored anything less than 200 oz/ton. Later they had the technology to profitably mine lessor grades and even process the tailings from earlier mines.

Hey meMiner, that website led me to some business communication page or something like that. I'll do some googling though and see what I can find.

We also have some mines in Ontario with galena. Some of these also had gold. Where I look for silver is higher grade, associated with nickel, cobalt and bismuth, but only one mine there had economic gold.
Stick on a shelf? I would purify it and make coins and bars and use some to make blades and bullets!

Cobalt deserves to be better known - for all of its history, positive impact on mining and the help to the early 1900's Ontario economy. Also, it is still a good place to find silver ore.
Probably some silver in that wet saw tank
I had some melted into dore a few months ago. There is a video about it.
Nice thanks
very cool vid, but man I think everyone would appreciate a better camera with better resolution jeez
I am now using a different camera. I was using a GoPro and found a problem with the lens. Thanks for the feedback. It took me longer than it should have to discover the issue.

I suggest using a push stick ...rock shatters the blade your hand will be hamburger...
Need to build a pilot plant & you’d be silver rich 🤑
