Awesome finds.. I didnt know silver was silver in the host rock.. I figured it was closer to the way aluminum is found. That first nugget was spectacular . Thanks
In this area, there was one vein they called the "silver sidewalk" because it was long and wide. Very few places in the world were that rich in silver.
Hiya Greg, nice! Really nice 👌 and you didn't get any blood suckers on you. Beautiful nuggies, and I bet Daisy loves that spot. I hope you and Daisy has a awesome blessed day. Cya! 😺🐟out!
Amazing locale, the smoke haze was a bit saddening, but hearing the loon calls was lovely. I really liked the silver (usually do, it’s shiny!). Interesting building - I’m picturing a tiny home with a deck all around, but I do realize that’s not it. Leaches - ewwwww. Great idea to hit the water! Me like!
You like it.I love it 🙌 You found some beautiful pieces there. I adore hearing the loon(great northern diver I believe), just such tranquility and peace there. Very lucky to spend time there. *A wonderful upload me miner* ☺️☺️
I got a diving detector for that reason. Nice finds! You clarified them nicely as always. Need to get you some full waders (That hardware in you wont ache so much after the water too!) and a guide rope, basket pole. Thank you for sharing!!
Sweet adventure glad there was no pot holes in that trail beautiful area the history of that old place would be interesting hey daisy looking good wow great score of silver awesome time thank you
Your amazing. You made silver from scum water. It was a good idea to be looking in the water. I'm sure there are lots of places like that. Thanks for sharing. Next time, SCUBA and a wet suit. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
I like a lot too! The last piece you showed is really nice. The close up of that leach was creepy but cool. Glad you have healed nicely so you can hound again, take care :)
What a beautiful nugget of silver. I found a very blue metalic ore with pyrites and gold. Im told it is not pecock ore its blue through to the center when sliced. I put a small slice in aqua regia and the viens were ate away. And percipitated a small amount of gold that was tested positive with stannous chloride.
Man great finds! Everytime I watch your vids it makes me question every rock I didn't bring home.. lol I love your vids! Hi to the dawg from our dog Daryl!
I kick myself too, especially when I was so focused on gold when I was younger. So many other rocks and I never took any home and no longer have those claims
@@meMiner i appreciate ya waking me up to what is out there! I look for gold one speck at a time in the river and makes me wonder how much silver or other cool things I moved out of the way.. lol
That's where the cairn once stood for W.H Drummond. I believe it was the fireplace and chimney stack for his home which was on site. The cairn was moved into town years ago. I always scratch unknown finds on another rock to expose any silver, always brighter than Cobalt or other Arsenides.
Just found you channel, great stuff! Subbed. This make me want to explore the silver mine areas I know of not to far from me. But there around very popular hiking areas so gonna have to check the water after seeing this!
Great finds at a played out spot! You just opened alot of real estate to detect....in two years you'll be scuba diving 3 ft and deeper! Maybe next time you're in leech lake you should give them a little offering ☘
I like shiny,, I like shiny a lot! Good to see a new pair of jeans used to rub rocks on as always, a bit concerned your thinking your trucks a boat 😂, keep the videos coming meMiner,, awesome as always
If I'm not mistaken I think that sounded like a Rattlesnake at the 1:09 point of your video Greig , 🤔. Another awesome video from an awesome content creator and nice silver to boot . I'd have to put water wings on my motorbike to get through those roads .
@@meMiner I've seen Ty and his motorbike do some pretty amazing things and I've seen him tear it up and screw it all back together again , The thing seems to have as many if not more lives than a cat . Lol.
Totally amazed with your videos. Really appreciate an educated individual who’s not afraid to get his hands dirty. We need more of this in our lives. Plus, you’re one hell of a prospector. Keep digging my man! You’re on to something good here. 😊👍
Well I'm really impressed, I knew Greg could sniff out silver on land but now I know he can even sniff it out underneath water 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I guarantee Daisy showed him where it was at 🤣🤣👍👍
Nothing like finding blood sucking creatures when you get to the shower!!! I fell asleep after fishing bass ponds all day and didn't shower with flea and tick shampoo when I got home and never had so many bites from my belt down in my life. Just about made me cry 😉 did have to call the doc for some meds to help with the itching.
Great video meMiner. Easy way to deal with leaches is to sprinkle them with table salt...they will immediately curl up and roll off your skin. They hate salt ! Put a salt shaker in your first aid kit and label it "Leach Remover". It works perfectly every time.
@@meMiner Ya, garlic salt or lemon salt will be fine. I think you are going to need something really strong to wash that one down too. Have you thought about that?
That’s awesome dude going on trips looking for silver. Reminds me of going on fishing trips trying to find those shiny fishies. I love geology dude. Later man.
I would have to invest in some chest waders to be doing that. Just remember to use a belt on them for safety. And keep a pack of cigars around just in case you do get a leach. Touch them with the hot cherry and they let go ASAP.
How does Silver like that escape the Miners.... ah, they don't have detectors, right...? And Silver is not Magnetic so they relied on the good old eye balls...! Hugh...? =) Good finds there, except for the leeches.....!
Miner that last rock you picked up almost looks like skeleton bones on host rock . I had talked with you a bunch of times before and wanted to tell you that my daughter just turned 16 and we got her a rock tumbler she’s super in to it, I want to buy some good rocks, do you have a dealer you go to for that? Or know what’s the kind rock you like? You like I like🤣😆
There are lots of different kind of agate which make great tumbles. If you are in Ontario, I have bought from Robert Hall Originals and Stonebridge Imports. I heard Robert Hall is closing up this year.
Do you use a wire brush or sandpaper to show us the shine ? I think I've found a piece of silver ore , it shines silver if I sand it and given enough time just goes dull from oxidizing so I know it's not iron because no rust
I have tried various methods to remove the oxide and show the shine. It has to be rubbed. The best I have seen is one fellow who uses a Dremel with a carbide bit. I just don't have his patience.
When you said silver from water I thought you had got into alchemy and were producing silver from water in your home, just fill up the kitchen sink and get some silver from the water, I bet you filled the sink but ended up washing dishes. Cool silver, looks great when tumbled like that, would make excellent key fobs. Right, i'm off again to the water I want to know why leeches run away from most women, especially those recently divorced. Well I never would have thought that, leeches run away because they are scared of giant leeches.
Dang I've got to process some native silver. I'm all in. I've got gold down to a science but silver is a little tougher. God Bless each and every one of you !!! Now. To find it. Lol
@@meMiner it really did lol I was all pumped ripping around wide open making great time, come around the corner and SPLASH!! Fuck, too late now... so I just rode through around to the other side and right back through it after lol
In the field, I just rub on another rock or my pants. At home, I usually start with dish soap and a tooth brush and then decide what to do next. If there is very little on the outside but the rock has potential, I just slice it. If calcite, it can be etched in acid but sometimes this results in a black blob, especially if the "silver" is a mixed metal high in cobalt. When I am lazy and the rocks are small(ish) -such as in this case) - I put them into a rock tumbler with polish and tumbler media and simply see what they look like after a "short" while. I know someone who will work hours on a sample with a Dremel, but I don't have the patience.
The only place a leech can attach to Daisy is her belly. The rest of her is covered in thick fur that they cannot get through. I am not sure what would happen if one bit her. She has a tick medication which would kill any tick that drinks her blood. I wonder if it would do the same to a leech? I have only seen one leech on her belly and she pulled it off with her teeth before I could help her. I have one video where dore bars were made with the silver ore. I have not had any of the dore refined.
Hey, You Miner! Good to see your face. Really Cool Silver rocks. Sweet design on your hoody : ) Water and Leech resistant? Thank goodness leech don't have teeth, like the rabid beaver that bit the Chigg on the booty. Didn't end well for the beaver. Shook Beau up, but I think he'll be okay. Had booster shots he said. Big Hug : )
Silver seems to be your main thing lately.....fine with me...Hey Miner,you heard anything about Caver461 lately...He stopped cold 6 months ago and haven't heard a peep since....I know you speak to Jeff,maybe he knows.
Me Miner, How is the Ticker? I hope good and you are doing well. It has been a while...Take care Sir and best wishes. Hey, the nuggets you find beat McDonald's. Yes, sir-ree. and that ain't no chicken-jive. Ha-ha. Peace.
I was told (down in the comments) that this was a cairn for the man who established this mine. The dedication was moved to town and what we see now are the remains.

Beautiful nuggies, and I bet Daisy loves that spot.
I hope you and Daisy has a awesome blessed day. Cya! 😺🐟out!
Daisy goes crazy when she sees me pack for a trip like this. Definitely loves it.
@@meMiner she looked really happy, I know she loves the water, the water is so beautiful and crystal clear.

That first nugget was amazing but all your finds were all pretty impressive.
Looks like you had a productive day with no leeches.

If I didn't collapse a lung in April, I would have gone in with scuba
Thanks for sharing your adventure, I like the idea of removing the calcite to see the vain of silver.
great job on the video.
Awesome finds, when I finally get a metal detector this place is one of the first spots to i want to check out.
Awesome finds, glad to see you back out swinging!!👊
Great video with even greater finds! “ I like”....GL and HH on your next adventure....🍀Be safe🙏🏼👍🏼

Sounds like fun. Our rock shows are all cancelled (again).

Nice little walk about, and some nice species too. Your leg and my back look a lot alike...🤣 By the way, cool hoodie. ✌️😎

I don't think the truck would be a good boat. In deep water would be a submarine. ;-)
@@meMiner true., but think how much silver you could find!!
Lol

Screamers are good! Beautiful nugs. Maybe you should be voted metal detectorist of the millennium, ya got mine.
Next adventure for Me Miner, metal detecting with scuba gear. Don't forget the dry suit.
Awesome find , yuck 🤢 leaches, wow very cool silver chunks, glad your back out rock hunting again awesome day thank you for sharing 😊💙
Very nice nuggets you found today!
What a cool spot man, awesome finds too!
Amazing finds, wish i had a place here in North Carolina to find silver.
There is. Do some research.
Forgot to mention we have Platinum also,

I promised Beau (Aquachigger) that I would eat one next time he is up if he eats a cicada on video. I should probably get garlic salt?
@@meMiner Ya, garlic salt or lemon salt will be fine. I think you are going to need something really strong to wash that one down too. Have you thought about that?
Ya got a couple nice specimens, getting a little wet is jus part of the fun..
Have a great day and B-SAFE :)
Nice and shiny 👌
I’m quite jealous really. Wish I could defy beautiful nuggets. Great video!
That last nugget was amazing. *sparkly eyes*
Mate nice finds you are so lucky living close to good silver deposits.
Your editing is great.
Looks like a great adventure wish we had things like that here in iowa love the video
Great finds - congrats!
If the postage costs have normalized again at some point, I’d like to buy such a nugget from you.
Best regards from Germany.

It's so cool to see it as found! The slabs are good too.
That's amazing , thinking out of the box ! very nice .

At 1:08 it sounded like you got close to a rattlesnake. Not sure what kind, if any or if it was just the Secada's.

Tommorow around 7 ish 😁
Maybe you could do a video on that thank you al from Vermont
What topic?
Well done meMiner!! Did you etch those in acid and tumble them? It looks like you at least tumbled them, those are some beautiful specimens!
I used a rotary tumbler to quickly clean and shine them.
Keep it up and you will need an air intake installed above the top of your hood. Never seen Caver461 do such a thing.
To Boldly Go..... Hey, I think I dated that Leach at some point, she looks familiar. Nice ball of silver!
I can be a problem with them on your wallet too
Yep.. thats the water I went blasting through hahahaha legend has it.. my feet are still wet to this day lmao
That's the spot! Deeper than it looked. It was probably above my doors and my truck is lifted and has oversize wheels. I bet it surprised you

Oh!!! I also watched the podcast? With DeeJ lmao good stuff!
Hey meMiner! What technique do you use to clean the rocks up? Some sort of acid dip? HD wire brush?....the silver just pops after this step/method.
In the field, I just rub on another rock or my pants. At home, I usually start with dish soap and a tooth brush and then decide what to do next.

Host rock or calcite.

Any idea how much silver you’ve accumulated to date?
not enough
