@@moonbear1stUse a colon to create timestamps. Instead of typing 7.13 like you did, try 7:13 By using a colon YT will automatically convert the numbers into a clickable/tapable timestamp that when clicked/tapped will take you directly to that time in the video. Hope that helps. Have a good day.
That dark rock and all that color from the mineralization definitely contrasted well. They were definitely following a very clear concentration of something. Thanks for making the climb to show us those mines. Looking down that last ore pass it seemed like there was a little bit of infrastructure built in there. If you don't think it connected to levels you've already seen it may be worth the trek. Maybe it connected to another adit you did not even see the entrance to.
As much as I agree with your "finish it all" methods .. not sure it would be worth returning for that pit ... at best it ties to the previous collapsed "open" stopes ... and the odds of worthwhile artifacts are near zero ... But, I would definitely watch it if you returned to finish that, and maybe the exploratory across the valley ... Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
You should have taken a sample of that slatey wood looking stuff and had it looked at by a lab or something to figure out what it was because it was very interesting especially seeing the quartz in those little ovals one after another
Hi Justin, those quartz veins were mental, everything you need for gold and silver, awesome. I say it would be a good idea to go down that man way at the end of the video just to document whether there is anything down there or if it's just short drifts on either side of it. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
So cool to see you guys at a mine I've been to because I don't get to many living in Eastern Oregon. We were there in July (Frickn HOT) I checked out the ruins while my two grown sons scrambled all over that mountain side to the east.(you didn't miss anything over there). We all went in the first one with the passing tracks for the carts and were really bummed when it faced out shortly thereafter. My youngest went in the second one and followed a Fox to the end! We plead the 5th on the Silver bullet can.
5:30 anytime you see a tank or something like that, especially if you want to know the date, get a close up of the seams. Easy rule of thumb is welds=post 1950 But that definitely looks like the 60's with how it was formed and everything
Ah I think pack rats are so cute, don't get how some people are scared of em., don't think we have them in the UK native to North America. That mine was stunning but very sketchy, another fab video Jason & buddies. 🥰👍
A great Video the Geologie Was absolute anazing. There must be much much more than only Gold. Thank you for your work. Glück Auf and best wishes Yours Frank Galetzka
Fantastic location, what a hike.. There‘s so much pee in that ore shute that crystals of salt peter seem to be growing out of the wood. Interesting geology, same state I presume as the Lost Worlds Project and yet amazing difference between the geology. Are you still following the leftovers the Yellowstone Hotspot left or is this another geological phenomenon that has led to the mineralisation? Enormous veins, I think most of the blackening on the walls of the mine is from the ore they mined there. I wonder if they got it all out or if there still is some left but it just wasn’t economical/very dangerous in the past to mine it.
almost bang on 7.17 there is a packrat watching you from the top of the beam just before you say rats have made it a home The Peregrine falcon (I think) was very cool btw Are you allowed to move cave ins etc, that bit of the mine looked viable for something if not silver.....who knows hmm Thats a long walk into rope down a potentially bottomed out ore pass but should you feel the urge I would definitely be interested to see that. Thanks for sharing so far
A very interesting explore again, i guess that wood like stuff is not a good sign for a mine if it is all over the mine, not very solid, perhaps that ore pass goes beyond a collapse but it is solid? ehr me not know lol.
Having watched many of your videos, I am always surprised/interested in why quartz veins are not exploited when they are so easily accessed. The logical answer is that these veins are not profitable and if so, is continued mining just wishful? I would also guess that these veins produce just enough to keep the process going.
Id think that trying to get legal rights to work a 100 year old claim with owners that may not even be alive would be the hardest thing. The land probably goes back to the government or descendants that may not have interest in what little profit is left
the level of danger in mining silver is just not worth the time?have to use mercury to get it, not worth dying for. and selling it im not worth 45.00 oz. ?
