The BC Ministry of Mines "Titles Inspector" wanted to check out my workings at the Ocean Picture Stone claim. So we arranged a day when I could let him in through the locked gates and he could do a full inspection of my claim, and also the surrounding claims. It was great talking with him and showing him what I was doing, and how I extract Ocean Picture Stone from the quarry.

I don't know when you shot this, but I hope you feel better, Dan.

@Hawkeye2001

I'm glad you discussed your hidden cameras and the fact that your videos are delayed to give you time to get the good stuff out before claim jumpers could steal your stones.

@WRWhizard

As a plumbing/heating guy for years, I have a LOT of experience cutting through stone and concrete. You can control where a stone breaks by pre-driling in appropriate places with a very long and thin bit. Say a 1/4" x 12" long. Putting a row of holes an inch apart then using your chisel tucked one corner in the hole for a while and then moving to the next. It will usually break on the line of holes..

@smmmokin

Appreciate the inspector willing to be on camera to explain what he does.

Dan is the most charismatic miner/prospector on KZbin. A good man indeed

How to start a rock habit: first you buy a specimen or two of Ocean Picture Stone. Then you think "what if I could just change the shape a little bit". Now you're on a deep dive into cabbing and slabbing. Then it seems clear what equipment to buy. Just a little bit of budgeting, done! (Ha, hardly. Accessories for cabbing machine! Then, stand-alone slab saw. Bulk purchase mineral oil). Living space may be rearranged to accommodate. Now you need to buy a lot of chips so you can learn on them, lest you ruin the magical pieces you love. Also, you are buying pieces that you might want to slab and cab, but maybe like as a specimen. Also, what with having more small stuff than you're going to cab, buying a tumbler from the seller of your cool vintage slab saw will be a totally reasonable add-on purchase. Might necessitate a deep dive on tumbling media. What you're not expecting is that once people find out what you're doing, they will start bringing you rocks. Work out a new life balance where you have ample rock-time. This particular rock habit? No regrets :) Thanks D's Hurd!

Glad that Craig was willing to be filmed and discuss his role as Title Inspector.

@danje748

I would love to see a video following the inspector on an inspection of someone's claim.

If you can eat onions, I do a old time remedy for Asthma and chest congestion. I pulverized an onion. Add a cup of sugar to it. Let it set Let the juice come out of it. Squeeze the juice. It is an excellent cough, suppressant and sore throat relief. And it breaks up chest congestion. Don't throw away the onions and the sugar eat that as well. It does not taste horrible. It tastes like a candy from a foreign country. That's a little strange.

One of these days Dan is going to say and here we are using the feather and wedges then the earth will crack in half.

@FiveStringCommando

You should… just kidding.

@CanadianGoldMining

@skoskur2271

** you should... * ignore the ones trying to tell you what to do. i guarantee most people are here to watch your amazing, infectious attitude and the way you love everything you do - never change ! ❤

@FuelX

Thank you Craig for participating in Dan's video. Sharing with us about your role and the importance of keeping claims clean is appreciated. And let's not forget about Dan. Those were great finds today. Beautiful rocks!

Dan, I really enjoy watching your channel on KZbin, especially the gold panning and gold mining. I am a disabled Veteran and used to go to Franklin, NC to the gem mines there but never got to do any gold panning. Now my disabilities prevent me from even doing that. I live vicariously thru your experiences and enjoy watching you do what I can't. It gives me so much pleasure and I just want to thank you for making me feel I am there with you. Gradie J Weldon
