This is the Sunset Mine up the hill. just west of the Mary Kathleen townsite. It was basically a copper mine. When I was there I found Manganite on the road up to the mine. Heavy black mineral. At first, I thought it was Magnetite, but it wasn't magnetic. And it isn't Hematite as it produces a black streak. Yes, and lots of nice Calcite at the mine itself (white & pinkish) It makes a nice garden rock. And of course. a variety of copper minerals. The place has been fairly well 'picked over' though.

If you buy a uv flashlight the rocks will glow at night or in the dark at home.I recommend a good brand like fenix flashlights. Diamonds will glow blue in the dark. It may not always be diamond need send to a lab. 😁

Yay another video and more gems woohoo thank you

Thank you for sharing.I do miss your videos.

Great video Liz. Love all those specimens and the detail you always show. Really helps those of us whom are newer to rock hounding. Been missing y’all so much. Happy you’re back! ❤️

Wow they are beautiful! And you are so clever, Liz, you know so many of their names! I love the colours, especially the pink, orange and blue! Must see the rock ! 👍😍

Such a diversity of rocks!

its amazing how abundand old mining areas and fields are

Thanks for bringing us on your trip Liz, I love seeing the minerals and stone out in the wild in their natural habitat. ;)

Wow, you're so fortunate to have such a place to explore so many goodies. It was fun to watch you search. I'm always looking for interesting finds of nature. Thank!!!!

I am always excited whenever I receive notifications, for your gem & mineral videos.

That is absolutely brilliant, eh I mean cabochon👍👍👍😂 Btw, Thank You for sharing Liz (&Wal)👌🤠

Where's Wally! He was hidden well! 😂 Yall had a great trip there. So many specimens of different kinds. I am glad you didn't go much closer to that big drop at the beginning! Malachite kills plants?! Wow! Great trip!

What a wide variety of minerals👍super interesting, especially the different mixed specimens... Thank you very much for the super informative Video👏👏👏 Great

Love it Liz! You should offer guided tours. That would be great fun!

G'day Liz and say hello to Wal I always get excited to watch your vids, much love and light to you and may God's Angels watch over you and keep you safe ❤️🙏 Dean

liz and wally, thank you for providing your expertise to the world...

So fun and beautiful!

Really love that epidote, very pretty!

Great video Liz, really enjoyed watching it and seeing how many different specimens you found, some awesome pieces. Love the “ where’s Wally”😂 Hopefully in the next couple of years I will get a chance to visit that area. I hope you have not been badly affected by the recent rain. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin

What a great adventure Liz. I loved seeing all the different specimens in the one site. I didn’t think that was possible 🤔 You and Wally have a wonderful life. That bird that was chirping on video... it made me think of Pedro ❤️

Amazing - too much treasure!!!

Wow, the mixture of minerals in a single rock !

Wow! I love it! I am addicted to rocks now LOL Liz you won't believe it I was in our granite gravel outside patio this afternoon because the weather is warming up and I was finding lone chunks little chunks maybe the size of a quarter pieces of Micah everywhere and they weren't there last year because before I started busting my own granite those are the gravel Pebbles I was using in my soil mix so I would have seen them. So I was outside collecting the mica pieces looking like a little kid on Easter Sunday looking for Easter eggs LOL I absolutely love going around my property now looking at all the boulders. And back in colonial times they separated property lines with rock walls and they are evident miles upon miles everywhere so I actually feel like I'm on a treasure hunt every time I go outside. There's nothing really as large in scale as you going out prospecting into these abandoned mines but I absolutely just love going and feeling the different textures and seeing the different types of rocks. It's amazing and addicting

Well..that was fun to see, thanks for sharing Liz. See you on the other channel ;)

You're amazing!❤❤❤

nice!!! please tell wally & pedro we send them love too, many blessings mrs. liz!!!

Thanks Liz! You and Wally need walkie talkies!

Wow wow look at those colors

Wow very nice 👍

Awesome adventure wow beautiful finds great eye very colourful specimens awesome awesome thank you sure hope your not in the flood area your home that is again thank you

great video so much knowledge

after doing a bit of research it seems that the green mineral may actually be pitchblende, though it may not always make sure to wear gloves when handling uranium minerals as the dust from these minerals is quite toxic if ingested

The one you said barite possibly...to me looks like ettringite or weloganite . None of those are listed as found at that mine on mindat, though. SUPER cool finds!!

Uranium!!! Ooh err take care!!!

Absolutely amazing Liz. How do both find these beautiful places. It just makes me sad to go there and pick up everything lol then put one back when I find a better one. Lol. Thank you for another awsome video. I just live the passion you have for what you do. Oh did you ennd up recapturing that Wild Mountain Wal for you're collection. Haha. Until next time. Cheers Wal & Liz.

Amazing video thank you 🍀🍀

I delivered a couple of cranes to Mary K in the late 70s liz and it was close to or already ceasing production..i wish i had my rock addiction back then

Thank You for good video.

Lovely video and some nice samples collected. The title says uranium mine. Looks like some of the small skarn mines here in Ontario, Canada.

Wow, just amazing! and all on the ground. I’d be so excited. I really want to do some of this. Is it safe to do by myself do you think? Out for a few days just sleeping in my Ute? Thanks Liz.

Get a old map find the old river bed in the area. Dh Davis rough diamonds, happy hunting God bless

That Calcite is purdy!

FIRST! 🙂

Nice☺️

So interesting, I wish I had more rocks and gems.

Vous me faites rêver! En France tout est interdit dans les anciennes carrières.

So it seems that two different kind of rocks can connect that in my opinion, is mating....right!?

If I were there I'd be filling all my pockets with everything XD. I believe that granite has to do something with uranium but im no expert XD. Anyways, great video as always :D

Hi Liz, I’m currently travelling in my caravan in nth west NSW and then onto west Qld. I’m learning as I go where and how to noodle and fossick. Your videos are a great learning tool for me. Do you have any helpful hints to help guide novices in the right direction?

Do you use a geiger counter? We found one of our large obsidian rocks emits gamma rays. On the lower end of high emission. We have obsidian all over here and the other large chunk does not emit any radioactive ray... Collecting at a uranium mine you might be getting some radioactive mineral as well.

Liz just curious==do you do a history of the areas you go to like geology and make up of that area first? Also have you did a history of areas with the report of the most astroids reported for that area or volcanos for that area and earthquakes? Am very curious as I think there is a connection to minerals found and ancient geology to a certain area....thanks God bless.

Nice crystals, do you have a geiger counter with you? Check those out before you touch them too much.

You really got beautiful specimen right there. I am wondering how you can juggle from your succulents and prospecting, Ms. Wonder Woman :)

Hi liz

12:55 looked serpentine-ish like my wife's picrolite.
