I got to spend a couple days at the Ghost Town Cerro Gordo. Run by Brent from ‪@GhostTownLiving‬ this former Silver and Lead, which turned into a ghost town when the mine shut down. Has been resurrected as a tourist destination as well as the most amazing source of content for Brent's RU-vid channel Ghost Town Living. ‪@GhostTownLiving‬
Brent took Jason ‪@mbmmllc‬ and myself to the 400 foot level of the mine to investigate a mineral pocked he found which we discovered had some very cool properties. Check out the adventure!

@@duragdan2000 I've watched quite a few of the videos that Brent has put out, and I can't stand watching any more. The one in which Brent documented how all their vehicles and equipment were just left out in the weather during a hellacious snowstorm, many of the buildings weren't checked for doors being closed, how his water pipes froze because he couldn't be bothered to insulate them OR wrap them with heat tape, and a bunch of other stupidities was just about the last one I could stomach. I left a very detailed comment on that video about all of his failures and the extremely basic measures that should have been taken to prevent them, and in the next video he posted, he spoke about how they had changed a lot of their practices at Cerro Gordo without specifically mentioning negative feedback, but my comment was one of many criticizing his bad decisions. I'd bet good money that some of his investors watch all of those videos, read the comments, and gave Brent some marching orders. After all, it's their money at risk too.

An investment firm creating a tourist trap under the guise of an off grid living/restoration project that takes advantage of unsuspecting people that follow them is deplorable.

Bless you Dan Hurd. I'm a bit older than you and was a Rock-Head for a great many years. My profession was not in minerals, so my time hounding was not as great, but it was the joy of my life. I didn't go very far underground because I was always solo, but still have some world-class specimens. I thought you were right about the "fibrous" mineral really being selenite. I have a lot of experience with the Kelly Mine near Magdalena N.M., home of probably the finest examples of blue turkey fat. There always was some "bubbly" orange/brown/yellow smithsonite that looked just like you found, but never the fibrous. I bless you because my age and especially health caught up with me some 15 years ago and I am unable to ever collect again. I have had a great many outdoor "things": solo backpacking, whitewater rafting, and hounding. But nothing was as much fun as the discovery of minerals to blow the mind. Your videos permit me to live vicariously through your "eyes", and I am so grateful for you.

Hey Dan! Love your videos. Florescent minerals is a hobby of mine, and first you need a filtered long wave flashlight. It will change everything. And secondly, you missed 2 other types of luminescent activation, triboluminescence and thermoluminescence. Keep up the rock hunting!
@Danhurd
@Danhurd Год назад
I did not bring my large filtered UV light down with us, it is kinda big. But did use it to test all the minerals at the surface. And when I did my research on luminescence the page I used as reference, said there were 3 major types. I assume the others are all minor types.
@svenhoff2653
@svenhoff2653 Год назад
Can i ask what wavelength you would define as long wave Black light? Because UV is even shorter wavelength than visible light. But i would expect it to be something arround 385nm. I modded enough flashlights (365nm, 385 and ~400nm and all other kinds of LEDs) with LEDs new drivers and for example 365nm ZWB2 bandpass filters that i find this really interesting!

Whitney) and turn right in the same spot to see the lowest point (Death Valley). Such a cool area.

I love that you got to go to Cerro Gordo. Brent comes across as a genuinely good person. I would love to make it out there and check the place out. I dont think id head into the mines though. Once the American hotel is open, id love to be the chef, and serve era appropriate dishes though.

1:24 that area looks packed to the brim with arrowheads and ancient artifacts. You should go looking around for some!

Awesome! I wandered over here because I saw Cerro Gordo in the title and I follow Brent's channel. Thank you for your identification of the minerals. I often wondered about some of the deposits that I had seen in Brent's videos.

That looks like it was a fun trip, Mr. Dan! Thanks for posting your videos. I did a bit of hard rock mining and a bit of gold panning, but that's it. I really don't know much about any of it, but I do enjoy watching your videos.

Dan, I just wanted to tell you, that I have learned a lot from you, been catching up, even got my metal detector on a lightning deal! I was able to identify Kingman Turquoise, at a garage sale! I managed to talk them down on 25 lbs + and water cabbing/saw machine, 50% off! Sold by the lb, not carat. I'd been joking around with the owner's grandson, even showed fellow customers how to use certain oddball machines, which impressed him. His grandfather died, and I made him feel better 😊 wasn't trying. Ergo, being yourself at sales, helping others, can really help you out!! Thank you, once again. I think your cheerful demeanor has rubbed off on me, also ❤ Just got back from my IGA friend, even better news: 25% is Sleeping Beauty! So in fall, we'll be making Turquoise jewelry together 😊

I had the opportunity to go underground at the Williams mine operated by Barrick. I think it was 5200' before the surface. Pretty cool experience.
