    The dendritic patterns, in particular, are amazing even if not silver.

Love the cut rocks with silver,would make great cabs and that small nuggets my favorite. I'm near Nashville,Tennessee, tiny town,one block,but oldest soda fountain in state or one of the oldest in the USA. I caught a look at a video and knew it was a great adventure you shared,at 73mine are few but fun too! My grandpa said live,love,laugh,it'll keep you young! Thanks for sharing!

    Hello sir I'm Shawn I'm 32 years old I love your content and Watching you metal detect. I have a passion with collection old coins, effigy rock art been doing it for years now. I wish I could afford a metal detector bc I would be out everyday doing it with my doggo. With how everything going up and inflation I can't ever afford one and it breaks my heart not being able to get out and do what you do bc I love the outdoors. I am disabled bc of my mental health is to bad to work and I just get in a funk so I watch yours videos and it helps alot but makes me want to get out there myself really does. Thank you for your content it helps me so much and I hope one day I can get a medal detector and do exactly what you do sir.

    Hi Greig, another interesting video, those highly mineralised areas you get to are always interesting. Cutting those pieces and showing the amounts of metal ore is pretty interesting. Does prove how accurate your metal detector is.
    Hop you are keeping well. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin.
    P.S. us “mature” distinguished silvers need to look after ourselves.

    Does silver giver you a different reading on your metal detector opposed to the other minerals?

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  Год назад +4

      It depends on the detector. The Minelab Equinox 800 that I used in this video has strange target ID. Basically, you dig any consistent target +1 or to avoid cobalt and hot rocks +2. High signals above 18 are not usually silver ore, but night be large high grade rocks. The Fisher F75 is cobalt or junk below 17. High signals are nickel, junk or high grade
