High in the mountains, finding visible GOLD on Quartz!
Рет қаралды 289,993
Жыл бұрынJason From Mount Baker Mining and Metals @mbmmllc took me for a hike High in the Cascade mountains, looking for a Quartz seam that he guarantees I will find visible gold in when I start breaking open the quartz. The hike is grueling, lets see if I make it!

I rarely comment on any videos but I had to finally give in. I absolutely enjoy your videos. I’ve always wanted to prospect for gold but never took the time. In a way I live out my dream of doing this through your videos. I’m an entertainer on stage 4 shows a week…so this is a critique…your camera presence is captivating and entertaining as well as informative. You’ve managed to pull me into all of your videos as if I’m there next to you. God bless you sir and your adventures. Can’t wait to see the next one.

Mr. Hurd, I must say that I found your videos on a lark one day a few months ago and I haven't been able to stop watching them since! Whenever I'm having a hard day, I put on one of your videos are I'm instantly smiling! I love your intros and how your floppy hat really emphasizes what you're talking about, especially when you say "Iiii hope to earn your subscription today!" Well sir, you have earned mine! Keep up the passion and the enthusiasm, it is absolutely contagious. Being a fellow Canadian from across the country (Ottawa, ON), the way you go about narrating and making your videos makes me feel as if I'm a part of your adventures. I love it. Keep up the great work, Dan!

Hi Dan...had the pleasure of meeting pioneer pauly....and i thought of you cause i know u like the lapidary side of rock hounding and such. I am in the middle of getting my hips fixed...but there's a creek near cowichan lake that has these large boulders of a rock that is red in colour not to mention huge boulders of quartz. Next year i should be good to go and if you might be on the island i would love to share this location with you. And you should be able to make some incredible pieces from it. I guess i could try to get a picture of it to you if i head up there...but i dont want to hurt myself and my wife would kill me.:) Anyways its easy access from the road.....love your channel and keep on keepin on...best regards, Greg Cornell.

Citrine is the yellow to brownish-red variety of the mineral Quartz. It is a widely used as a gemstone, and after Amethyst it is the most popular Quartz gem. Most Citrine is formed by heat treating purple Amethyst. Citrine may also be produced by heat-treating Smoky Quartz from certain localities.
