Mornin!

[@ferdburphel2076]

Nice spot Greig! I hope you find gold👍. Have a great holiday season.

[@meMiner]

Happy holidays!

[@milesnn]

Sweet adventure and such a small world. My son and I came across a bunch of the same materials you were going through and did find some terminated crystals and other shapes along with pyrite cubes very small to. Some of the pieces sure set the metal detector off and we had discriminated iron and foil out thank you

[@brennenevans4349]

glad your back, nothing better than some pyrite

[@meMiner]

A cool spot that I want to checkout for longer. Dogs were in my truck this time

[@symonrocks9847]

I agree, nothing is better.

[@wrxs1781]

It would be interesting to see the gold mine operation and especially how they classify the ore, I am sure not much gets past them to the tailing pile.

[@virginiarocks]

Happy holidays to you and yours, Greig Nice to see a video, we have missed you.

[@meMiner]

That is so nice. Merry Christmas

[@designworksdw1949]

Thx for the video, cool spot. Glad to see you post again, thought you might have attempted another trust fall with a spruce tree.

[@meMiner]

No more cutting down big trees for me. lol

[@phillipmidgley2008]

Some good inventory there if you own a rock shop. Great video meMiner.

Merry Christmas!

[@oldandtired1434]

Lovely specimens 🌟, lovely to see you 😊 Hope your annual Christmas tree hunt is successful. 🎄😃

[@meMiner]

It's almost that time of year. lol

[@WW-qc6hc]

Another good video Greig. Now I’m itching for the snow to go to start rock hunting.

[@meMiner]

We all get cabin fever waiting for the snow to leave. lol

[@Squaredbets]

Have a fantastic winter meminer, happy holidays to your and yours!!!

[@meMiner]

Same to you!

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

Glad you're okay. Was getting worried. Happy Holidays, Greig and family!

[@meMiner]

All is good here. Merry Christmas!

[@dougalexander7204]

I helped build a coal wash plant where the process started with a rotary breaker. Material that would not break down to 2” was ejected out the end. Some days I’d find nodules of iron pyrite as big as your fist. I’d save them and give them away, they were so cool.

[@meMiner]

Very cool

[@creativestudios3d]

Hey there :) I was just wondering about how you are doin, yesterday. Hope all is well and thanks for the new video.

[@YvonneSebastian1980]

Ahh ..was thinking about you just yesterday.. it’s tree time.. you and daughter Amy going out for a tree soon??. Good seeing you posting again.. I was wishing for gold..❤️☮️.

[@meMiner]

Might have to break that tradition this year. Amy won't be available

[@ulrikekullik5204]

Thank you Graig, was waiting for a video ,interesting as always. Well done !

[@glentimmins7560]

Wow! Just like a kid in the candy store!!⛏️⛏️

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to Greig and Family ☃❄🎄

[@meMiner]

And Merry Christmas to you too

[@wayne1959]

good stuff mate. There's certainly some interesting places along your highways. Merry Christmas to you and yours if we don't see you on here beforehand.

[@meMiner]

Merry Christmas Wayne

[@SilverDigger-l8o]

At least some MoT inspector or roads crew didn't pull up and tell you to "move along". But then, I didn't see any signs up saying "No Collecting" like there are in some parts of Ontario.

[@ProspectorTripp]

A few good samples there me. Thanks sir Peace Prospector Tripp

[@maxtheyouth]

sweet spot , lets back up the truck

My company owns Great Bear. Can’t wait until it goes into production.

[@ucdm108]

Hermosos esos cristales de pirita.

[@meteoriter1647]

Greig, great video, love those pyrite crystals! Did the quartz rock show any gold under magnification? On a separate question, you made a video a while back, I can't find it after quite some searching, you were using a reciprocating tool, a tiny one to slowly chip layers of rock off your minerals, which one was that video, do you remember? Appreciated.

[@meMiner]

There might be a tiny bit of gold but nothing really obvious under magnification. The tool was called an air scribe

[@meteoriter1647]

@@meMiner thank you for your reply back

[@davidmcnutt3926]

But pyrite does have a percentage of Gold in it, yes?

[@meMiner]

It can

[@popparocks7656]

Enjoyed Thanks 👏

[@meMiner]

Thanks poppa

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Would a metal detector tell you if there was gold in the rock, or would pyrite mess that up?

[@meMiner]

Metal detector would help especially if there is visible gold,, except beside a highway (like here) so there is also quite a bit of junk

[@cvx2dog549]

Would it be possible to use a metal detector there?

[@meMiner]

Might be interesting to try. However, highway ditches tend to have quite a bit of junk

[@waywardgeologist2520]

Red Lake District?

[@meMiner]

No. North Eastern Not. There is a creek by Red Lake that I heard good story about placer by someone that moose hunted there. Sometime, I would like to check it out myself

[@PabloDiablo682]

Dude, i have been wondering if u r ok. I had not heard from you in awhile. Glad to see you and isnt it time fof Amy to cut down the family tree???

[@meMiner]

We have snow and wild trees that need to be "tamed". lol

[@winstonalpha1286]

Looking for help please. I have just got my prospecting licence for ontario and am confused about a few things like....whats a boundary claim and legacy claim or historic claim....can i prospect these areas or no ? Where can i hand sample with out Infringing. Im from sudbury...seems like theres no open land available here. There are claims...legacy claims...boundary claims and historic claims every where.....thank you kindly

[@meMiner]

Did you get sorted out? I just saw this now

[@gladlawson61]

Do you sell any of these rocks you find?

[@meMiner]

No. I collect for fun

[@oldbamadirt2148]

Rock On. 😎👍✌.

[@meMiner]

and on and on. lol

[@jessrose2274]

You can still get gold from Gold pyrite! And definitely the quartz! Just process them if you want gold 😇✌️

[@meMiner]

I have a small crusher to try out with these rocks. Will pan the fines to see if anything appears in another video

[@AnnahSoul]

10:08 mill it for gold!!

[@meMiner]

Sounds like a plan. Thanks

[@PabloDiablo682]

Damn it, only you and a couple other people i am subbed to with problems not getting notified. Now i got a couple to go through, i see you have been posting about once a mmonth. But no fu$&#@g notification

[@meMiner]

I guess YT hates me. lol

[@herbertboelk7545]

Rock @09:17 looks like an elephant face

[@QuestForDetails]

remember they just discovered fools gold has tiny amounts of real gold in it after all, so now were not all as foolish I suppose. nice looking cubes to !

[@meMiner]

I looked over these rocks with a microscope and didn't see anything that jumped out at me as gold. I plan on trying to crush some just to see if I can pan any

[@carolyncoleman9504]

[@NordicProspecting]

crush crush pan pan!

The panning is the easy part. lol

Gold at $2600.00 being a new be I would put my pin pointer over it or my $300 falcon metal detector over it
