Glad you took a break from the car work and enjoyed a day in the woods with Bo. The last video I recommended an engine builders channel on YouTube and today I will recommend another. There is a gentleman up in British Colombia by the name of Dan Hurd. He prospects for gold and all kinds of gemstones. He owns numerous gold and gemstone claims in BC. There is one called bc ocean picture stone that there is only one know source of it and he owns the claim on it. Jackie is somewhat of a rock hoard and I ordered her some of the lower grade pieces, the premium pieces are out of my price range. His channel is Dan Hurd Prospecting and he has a website also where he sells pay dirt and all kinds of gemstones. If you haven’t heard of him, check him out. Well say hello to the gang and keep the videos coming
Cool man wish I knew more about minerals and stones.
Super cool stuff at the end! Love it
Heck yeah, love the treasure hunt videos!
Thanks for sharing, Indy
You mean you can just pick them up from the ground?!! I wish I knew more about rocks, the only thing i’ve done is fossil hunting. Love the soapstone bowls, thanks Jerry!
Weedhopper found a box of rocks……….
I have ruby sapphire
indian ruby
What will you do with those stones ? We stopped at one of those tourist gem mines once,I got 3 or4 low grade emeralds ,had one cut for a ring.Not worth anything but I like it.
Interesting spot Jerry. That’s always fun to get out and do some prospecting. Looked a bit warm though.
Hey Jerry. Nice to see you treasure hunting again. Were those bowls for acorn grinding. That is what they did in California. They made very deep holes in the bedrock for grinding acorns. I finally got out for the 2nd time this weekend. Probably found 3 grams of gold. My friend found about over 8 grams on the last day, with most of it coming the last 1/2 hour. Also went to California and had to evacuate our camp. Lost all my mining equipment and camping gear to the Mckinney fire. Not been a great year for mining π At least I am still blessed with a good life π Say hello to the Rust queen. I need to catch up on the car videos. Take care !
Very interesting video Jerry. Evertime I watch one of your videos I learn something new. Glad to see you take a break from al that rust. When are you guys going to get out and look for some gold?
Dang yall are almost close enough to help me with my 63 dodge a100 van and my rock collection that I can’t figure out
Itβs sad how some people will go in and destroy something like that soapstone where the bowls were being made by breaking them or cutting them out. Thank you for protecting this spot by not releasing the location.
Just saw a picture of a large soapstone boulder in Rhode Island and the Indians carved bowls just like what you showed. They were supposedly carved out about 3,000 years ago. Interesting.
I got a 96 carat blue and white 6 sided sapphire crystal in a local creek. It is translucent, not opaque, but I am told it is next to worthless unless the sun shines thru it? should I have it cut maybe or leave it alone? so far as I know, it is the only blue sapphire crystal found in Indiana. I was told somebody musta dropped it I doubt that as it was 18 inches down in a gravel bar where I was dredging. for goldJust happened to catch it in my highbanker hopper, totally by chance.
What part of south Carolina are ya’ll in? I didnt know there was corundum in SC how wide spread is it? Im in Georgia and besides some little bits here and there up in the northeast theres really nothing here haha
That soapstone is very valuable just a small piece on ebay is over $25.00. Thouse large pieces are worth thousands of dollars.
