I don't know how yet, but the glass is half full. Thank you for sharing what must be emotional turmoil. That's very VERY strong of you!!! May I suggest sharing what you're feeling with others in a YT channel. If you're up for it of course. I think others experiencing similar sh!tuations may relate and find some peace. This is just a suggestion. But I suggest it because a very great friend of mine, the Uneducated Economist here on YT shared how he quit drinking and took up studying economics. He does daily live streams and regularly people will comment about how his drinking talks have helped them to stop and his live streams are like AA but on economics lol. His channel is dedicated to economics, but by sharing his experience he has helped dozens to better themselves. May you grow more than you ever thought possible as a result of this experience!!!

Jeffery, consider getting some of the doggie-do bags that people take on walks with their dogs. They come in small rolls that are easy to carry in your pocket and a lot of times are in a small carrier that hook to a leash or dog harness. They might not carry much and might have to be doubled up but could serve as sample bags for when you forget the real thing.

My biggest complaint with geologic maps-especially those of larger scale-is that they often lack references to terrain features, roads, and towns at a certain level. My second is that they are approximations and generalizations. You can easily run into a rock unit that's atypical for the area at large. The third is that when you do an online search and click on a result, you'll end up in an archive that references a resource and no way to link to it. I'm glad you have that in your library. That's nice.

i think one of those expensive XRF hand held guns are something that would make prospecting super easy and effective.. just research areas of old workings and then see what ones are available to claim. after you find an area you simply can use that XRF gun on the tailings piles to see what they are extracting in the mine.. the speed and accuracy would pinpoint areas worth claiming by getting results instantly without any work processing the samples.. they are pricey but i think they would be a great investment if you were wanting to find the best ore samples possible with the least work. wonder what any downsides there could be? have you ever used a hand held XRF gun machine? could you use them inside the mines on possible veins right in the wall or do the samples need to be extracted from the wall to work?
