bloody impressive mate.

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Cheers Liam it just kinda happened, but looks nice

[@shy3151]

I love this one. Can’t wait to see it on my desk 😘

[@Treasurehunter11001]

It’s gonna look great there 😘

[@raygrange7312]

You are becoming a master in your work.👍

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Novice !

[@dayve3]

I have just bought the dremel engraver with the Zoic tips... your vids are really useful

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Thankyou this is quite a inexpensive way to get into fossil preparation on the softer type of rocks , good luck with it 👍

[@fossilwildlife5198]

The first ammonite (which you also show us at the end) is an absolutely wonderful display piece. 😃 It has this nice white mineral banding/line Cool video my friend 👍🏻

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Thanks man I agree that calcite banding looks really cool. I was surprised how smooth i could get the surface just with different grades of sandpaper. Also made a flat base on it so the fossil stands upright

[@thearrowheadreapers8668]

Man you got some patience and mad skills there my friend. Really nice work. 🏹

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Just starting out man thanks 🏹

[@coyotearrowheadhunting3083]

I still remember the first restoration video, it fit you very well but now with the experience the result was better. Greetings my friend. Wow.

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Gracias por mirar y comentar a mi amigo, esta preparación resultó agradable.

[@TheFossilAcademy]

You need to get some air pens, if you can do that with a dremmel, sky’s the limit with better tools. Good work dude, I doff my hat to you sir...........

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Yeah I might have to , gonna do some more Matrix shaping on some ammonites I already split open with a hammer and see how that goes. Thanks for watching

[@TheYorkshireFossilHunter]

looking good mate, our Yorkshire coast material is notoriously hard to prep and only use air abraders really to finish the matrix of. Great video and prep work !!

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Thanks Mark I probably should of said that multiblock was sticky , I took on a bit more than I could chew there . But really pleased with how the other one turned out !

[@TheYorkshireFossilHunter]

@@Treasurehunter11001 practice practice practice mate, i will probably be putting some more in depth prep videos in the next week or so.

[@Treasurehunter11001]

@@TheYorkshireFossilHunter will do, I will keep a lookout for those videos !

[@diggingappalachia954]

You do such nice work, the ones I find are much more fragile

[@WightFossilTours]

Wow you done an amazing job on that 💪🤩 Love the way you done the video

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Cheers man , hope you are doing ok 👍

[@silverlady1118]

Great vid ☺

Thanks silverlady

[@Hitokage]

Is the material of the fossil more solid than the rock around?

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Not really you can easily break the fossil. But the fossil does separate from the rock I guess due to the nature of the fossilisation process , the rock was originally sediment that encased the ammonite , when you strike it with a hammer the fracture will mostly occur between the rock and fossil .

[@Hitokage]

@@Treasurehunter11001 Ah I see! So the process must be harder than it looks like :D

[@Treasurehunter11001]

@@Hitokage this one wasnt too bad because I had already split the rock open with a hammer so most of the ammonite had exposed cleanly, I just shaped the rock and removed some from the outer whorl

[@dana31335]

Stunning

[@jellybean1102]

Very cool!!!

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Thanks for watching Jellybean!

[@ethanhawtin7561]

When you said about the rock getting to hard and you unable to do anymore, your absolutely right I have a dremel and I am in the process of saving up for zoic t-Rex pen which costs a large sum of money but with this thing you should be able to prep anything to a high standard! If you are looking to invest in getting a proper air pen it seems like the one to get, but like I say large price...

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Yeah and I think the rock is what you guys call sticky on that fossil, it's not popping away from the ammonites at all , and gone pyritic in the very centre. I should be moving to the USA next year if they ever re-open the embassy . That's why I haven't bought a pen yet . But I am really liking prepping so may buy one and take with me , maybe you could send me a nodule or two to prep lol

[@ethanhawtin7561]

@@Treasurehunter11001 sure can send you a few but I’ll have to dig out from old ones because obviously I can’t currently go to the beach and get you some...

[@Treasurehunter11001]

I mean when I am living in the USA, wont have access to those Yorkshire ammonites

[@ethanhawtin7561]

@@Treasurehunter11001 for sure I’ll send some if u pay for the enormous postage fee! Lol 😂 so why u moving to the USA if u don’t mind me asking??

[@TheFossilAcademy]

Sweet vid dude!

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Thanks Dan you inspired me to do this !

[@TheFossilAcademy]

@@Treasurehunter11001 that’s really nice of you to say that dude, I seriously think you have some mad skills with that dremmel, really impressed with the end result, especially as it’s Whitby material too, most folk struggle to get that stuff looking that nice with hundreds of pounds worth of kit. Have you got a Paleo Zoic tip in it?

[@Treasurehunter11001]

I had broke that nodule open with a hammer so only really uncovered the outer whorl and shaped the matrix. But liked the curves I got on it , only got the Dremel a few weeks ago after watching your electric engraver video . I was using a point from DNSONS on that piece , but I do have the one from Zoic too I I was using that on the multi block to try and get the rock off the ammonites but I think it's just too sticky on that piece

[@joaocarvalho3833]

Belo trabalho. Já agora, que tipo de broca ou fresa foi usado e tamanho? Tenho esse DREMEL. Obrigado pela atenção!

[@Treasurehunter11001]

These were special points produced to prep fossils from a company called Zoic

[@fossiladventures2926]

Spot on that looks great. Do you use those modified tips from Zoic in your engraver ?

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Thanks I think I may sand the matrix a bit more to get the last few marks out yet , I do have one of those tips from Zoic and it works great , but also been using some from Dnsons,

[@CristDragon]

Very nice work, glad to see a dremel buddy sharing his art, everyone is just using those expensive air pens. The problem is that I cant use dremel for long because it makes my hand numb after a while, does this happen to you too?

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Thanks Andrew , I was quite surprised at how much you can do with the Dremel without having to buy a more expensive air pen. I sometimes wear a glove to help with the vibration but that does make it a bit more awkward to control . I mainly just hold it lightly

[@CristDragon]

@@Treasurehunter11001 Yeah, it might take a bit longer but the final result can be amazing, I have some pieces I,m very proud of. Thanks for your advise.
