    Back when I was a young man, I slabbed large silver galena rocks into 1/2" slices and set them in a walnut 4' x 6' frame mounted to marine plywood and filled it with Clear resin and made a table. Absolutely beautiful. The area you were in today looks mighty familiar to me. Last time i was there was in the early 70's. Sure was nice to see it all again.. Thanks for the adventure.. Be safe.

    Absolutely beautiful day Gly! Everything turning green and great weather, can't get much better than that! Swinging that big rock buster brings back plenty of memories out rockhounding with the family, and what a find to get tired out on! Just beautiful minerals! Thanks for another great adventure and amazing views. Always look forward to what comes next!

    Hi friend Gly , Australia Watching . This area is so nice, filled with awesome views and l just love the tracks , reminds me of my old 1984 KTM 595 stroked single cylinder 2 stroke trial bike days . Todays drone work is so awesome . See now how smart your vision was to get them for the channel . After years of walking looking for new mine are gone . Great way to find new mine gems for the channel . Sub not going up?????????. This is wrong . Love this episode ; think l mite watch it again . Keep well and safe . look forward to next week .

    Hey Gly. I was thinking that a great song to play while you were making little rocks out of big rocks would’ve been “working on a chain gang”. As always you threw out another great video and can’t wait to see more. Thanks for your hard work and for sharing it with us

    So thrilled to find your channel. My husband and I are retiring next year and are hitting the roads of Nevada and Arizona, to find mines and to search out rocks and miners (rockhounding) in our 1962 GMC 4x4. Something that I'm not sure if you know about is that there are mines thar contain Uraniums. You should be able to find a map of those mines for each state on state government websites, as the mines are not marked at their locations.
    Looking forward to watching more of your videos!!!

    Surprised that shaft doesn't have some sort of steel grate cover, so people don't fall in. Maybe you could rig up something that could span the hole with a spool of rope and lower a remote-control camera down in there instead of roping in yourself. seems like it would be safer.
