    Sweet adventure and such a small world. My son and I came across a bunch of the same materials you were going through and did find some terminated crystals and other shapes along with pyrite cubes very small to. Some of the pieces sure set the metal detector off and we had discriminated iron and foil out thank you

    It would be interesting to see the gold mine operation and especially how they classify the ore, I am sure not much gets past them to the tailing pile.

    I helped build a coal wash plant where the process started with a rotary breaker. Material that would not break down to 2” was ejected out the end. Some days I’d find nodules of iron pyrite as big as your fist. I’d save them and give them away, they were so cool.

    Greig, great video, love those pyrite crystals! Did the quartz rock show any gold under magnification?
    On a separate question, you made a video a while back, I can't find it after quite some searching, you were using a reciprocating tool, a tiny one to slowly chip layers of rock off your minerals, which one was that video, do you remember? Appreciated.

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  4 месяца назад +1

      There might be a tiny bit of gold but nothing really obvious under magnification. The tool was called an air scribe
