That is awesome!

Glad you enjoyed it

There is a massive area with garnet. Super fun

Always

I am glad they didn't just close it down because people were abusing the privilege. Garbage, fires, etc. It is a very special place to spend a few hours.

I wonder if Shelby brought Jeff 2 sticks, if he would of made the trade for a slice of pizza?

@@jameswelch1054 lol

welcome!

For sure I will play with them individually. They will take more time to clean/polish than dig. ;-)

Hope you show us cleaning them up, etc. Beautiful day in the field, and always enjoy seeing Shelby!

@@davestelling Shelby had a great time there. I will clean a few soon

I gave them away

Put you to sleep. LOL. There are no geode spots near me

Pizza, sticks, garnet and silver are patiently waiting for your arrival. ;-)

I understand the North Bay club will be handling it.

I cut some before and they they stayed solid

@@meMiner cool!

For now, they are on a shelf. ;-)

@@meMiner I love garnets too! I would want them on display too!😀

Deal!

Not for Ontario. My claims are in BC

I tried it once and felt afterwards that it was a shame to round these stones. The good ones or portions that are gemmy shine up in a tumbler and the bad ones turn to clay.

Some. The majority no

Very true. LOL

Some of my best friends were people that I met up with

I tried tumbling garnets from this site before and it didn't work out all that well. Got a few gemmy pieces out of the tumbler, but mostly it turned them into clay/mud

Ontario, Canada

There are lots left at this site to collect. ;-)

I collect and make this videos for fun. I don't have a store. The owners of sites like this frown on selling.

@@meMiner no I mean like trading by mail, or maybe even meeting up and doing an actual trade. I have a nice collection, too

@meMiner I've been collecting gems since I was 5 years old and I've only ever met two people in my life who had a gemstone collection and were willing to trade with me and show off stuff, but that was when I was a kid. Wouldn't mind doing it some more

@@meMiner unfortunately though my collection has been cut in half, seeing as all the stuff I had as a kid has been stolen from me because I have a few drunks and drug addicts in my family

Oh yeah ! And awesome video 👍😁

Most of the rock shops have them for sale and usually one or two sellers at rock shows. I don't know the best place price-wise. I haven't bought one in a long time. I normally find one every few years that somebody left behind at a site.

@@meMiner alright thank you . Hopefully the sudbury area will have them .

I did run some in a rock tumbler and made a video. The fragile parts turned to clay but what was left behind was gemmy.

Do you have a link to your video running the garnets through the tumbler? I'd love to see it. I sure love your videos! If you ever decide to sell any of your stones, I'd sure love to purchase some! Especially the silver you find. I'd love to make some jewelry out of a few! There's no native silver near me. All the silver ore in Utah is in Galena, which is a challenge to extract and work with.

Good advice. Some of the garnets from this site are gem quality or have parts that can be considered that. It notice that some of the smaller ones are pretty good.

I tried in the past. The rough ones turn to clay. It is a good way to find gemmy pieces.

@@meMiner Ah merci merci, j'attendais cette main tendue, cette voix fraternelle. 😁 I am sending you an email.... from drstefool

@@stefool I received the email. I am not sure but know who else to ask. Will reply soon

@@meMiner Thank you. 🙂

East of Martin River, north of North Bay/Sudbury

I haven't yet but have enough that I'd like to try

@@meMiner Yeah, what can it hurt?? Maybe your really good at but never knew. There are plenty of vids of guys cutting stones. I used to think cutting stones was some black magic or something. It turns out its way more doable than I thought.

@@PabloDiablo682 And it is so much fun to discover what is inside. ;-)

@@meMiner yup, could be a beauty.

I understand it will be managed by the North Bay club, but have not confirmed

No. I collect for fun

I have done that before.

I understand it is being managed by the North Bay Mineral Club. If they are not, then someone there could point you the right direction

@@meMiner fantastic, thank you very much. Keep up the content!

not at this site

I collect for fun and don't have a store

I don't have a store and collect for fun. I have no idea about value. There are others who do sell and can be searched online.

@@meMiner ok,because i did tried already in amazon but it judt like a glass other one is dyed quarts so it was fraud only

@@jung3900Tv Sorry to hear you were taken advantage of.

@@meMiner i want that from you,if you want to it yo me bcause i thought it is rsal unlike from online shop that almost of them are fraud, ftom amazon just like dyed quarts and a kind of glass

I understand this is being managed for the owner by the North Bay mineral club

Better yet can I come with you guys on an adventure this spring or summer sometime? Lol I like in Whitby.

Live in Whitby

This year you need permission to hunt this site. I understand access will be managed for the owner by the North Bay Club.

I am near PORT PERRY. Practically, neighbours. ;-)

@@meMiner please invite me on a rock hound adventure. I’m game and have experience.

I collect for fun and don't have a store
