Thank you for making these videos! Watching your adventures helped me discover my love of digging in the dirt. I usually hunt in Arkansas and Missouri but would love to go up to your neck of the woods one day to hunt down some cool rocks!

Dear Greig, tomorrow will try to contact you. Have no words,speechless. The Specimens are good, but what brings Peace to my Soul is the Sound of your Voice, the Dogs and the beautiful Music. Thanks from my Heart and Soul to you. See you tomorow. Mineral Freak 😉 from Germany ( Since 1985) All the Best, Marcus

I love the soft guitar background music thanks again

What a great last foray into the hills for the season and you got got a few stones to boot. Still love the pups standing guard and looking for rocks. What a really great present. Rocks specimens from around the world. Be happy, safe and stay healthy!😷⚒

Portable propane heater and a little red wagon. I've done that more than once. Great finds!

Glad you aren't snowed in yet! Beautiful finds, relaxing music, and of course your smile. Thanks for another great video.

Love watching and learning. Cool how the pup keeps Daisy on her toes lol. I'm sure there are days she wants to hide though. Thanks for sharing.

Good luck with the snow. Great show with some nice finds and a great box of goodies. They will enjoy that nice silver specimen.

thanks for posting this year's rockHounds

Awesome gift 🎁, beautiful stones 😊💙, as always thank you for sharing 😊💙

Thanks my Favorite Rock Hound awesome video as always Have a wonderful holiday season and see you in the spring 👍🙏

Chig shades and a Pauly hat…you are ready to strut the runway! I didn’t even know about KZread until someone I knew referenced your site. I am low tech…don’t even have a cell phone, drive a 1996 GMC bench seat stick shift pick-up. Everyone else has a cell so I don’t need one. Anyway, through you I have discovered so many others and I thank you and I thank your wonderful family for their support. I hope your winter is mild enough to get out and wet enough to keep the plants happy and the lakes full. It was eighty degrees F here today and dry as a year old dog bone.

Hiya Greg, dude!!!! Awesome video! Burrr it's getting cccooollldddd up there! Your friend gave you a awesome box of rocks. How nice! Your 2 pup's act just like my wife and I 's, the young pup wants to play 24-7, but the older pup doesn't or can't, lol ( let's eat and go take a nap) younger pup says ( let's go! go! go! ) it's all in fun, just like us, we used to run up the hill and now, let's take our time up the hill. 😁 Awesome finds on maybe your last rockhounding adventure of the season, I hope you have a awesome blessed day.

Hey Me Miner, It's good to see you back at it. I really enjoy watching your videos. Hopefully it won't snow too much so that you can still get out and dig. We hardly have enough snow in north Georgia to stop us from digging. I would really love to come up there to dig with you some day.

I think the "pseudo-morph" you referred to is actually Fluoro-richterite. I'd put money on it. :) I found really nice piece of it at Titanite Hill early this summer. Your specimen shows all the crystal formations and luster and texture of Fluoro-richterite.

I think you just solved a mystery for me. I knew this old guy who was prone to telling tall tales and he passed away a couple years ago. Well he gave me a sample of a rock that he said he found locally and that he sent to a few local ivy league colleges for identification and he claimed they could not identify it. It is shin y black, with a smooth to the touch surface, and is heavy for the size of it. It looks a lot like that titanite.

wedge shape?

@PabloDiablo682

2 жыл бұрын

@@meMiner No, that is the only thing that it does not have. It was my one question mark. The oild guy told me that it is a hard substance and that his grandchild took a sledge hammer to it, to try and break it. To look at it you would almost think it is a shiny piece of coal but it's not coal. So, I am thinking it may have been wedge shaped before the kid took a hammer to it. It looks so similar to what you have there. As soon as I looked at what you have I thought OK. BUT.....no wedge shape. Even the piece I have is in two pieces. They fit together like a puzzle where his grandson broke it. He said there was more of it and the college may have kept a piece.

Description: Titanite is a common accessory mineral usually found as tiny grains in many different rocks. It is common in plutonic igneous rocks such as granite, diorite and syenite. Titanite also is a common accessory in metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, schist or marbles. ( I got this off google. We do have lots of granite so it could have been formed with that. But that stuff does not appear in abundance. It was so foreign to anything found around here and why he kept it. )

Good stuff. Enjoyed 👍 Some how I sense there's a tree hunting video coming soon 🤔

I don't do guided tours. There is tons of info online about where to go and what you can find. If I am at a public site, I usually provide info on where I am collecting. That said, I would be happy to cross paths when you are up here if the timing works out. I just cannot commit to it until the time is closer

Wow that is a real good friend I haven’t gotten close to any of the rock people in the area and everyone I’ve talked to has been online such as yourself and the crystal collector but I’m not close enough friends with everyone so I have to buy my stones or find them myself which I have not had the opportunity to go out and find much of anything and in August I got hit with a setback I had a mild stroke I’m back on my feet I can walk I can talk I can function I can’t drive at night but I have lost a little bit of the site when I so my adventures have been limited since then

Wow, you even have water stalactites there !! You received some nice specimens from your friend !!! That was so thoughtful !! That's a really nice silver specimen you are sending him as well., it was good to see you out enjoying your rockhounding. I'm getting about pretty well again and am ready to head South to my Arizona claims. Most unfortunately the free range cattle rancher there claimed my old mineshaft as a water resource and I won't be able to rehab the drifts. I guess it is ok, as I would have had to pump out the water anyway. I'll try and get a compromise and repair the old tank and pump the water from the shaft into the tank. If not, I would need to drop a new shaft after I core for the veins. I'm able to turn my head again so the neck surgery was a success. It's good to see Daisy and Shelby again. Best regards to the family !!!
