 Hello and welcome once again to the rugged rockhound today. Once again, I'm joined with my dad We are actually just south of the location when we were the location we went to last time Which was just over that way further north where we were finding the the horn coral fossils So here we're at some old mines out here. We've got one here and up over there We've got another one and what we're supposed to be able to find here according to the book that I I looked at is some old Lead ores, so like considerate or galena and who knows what else sometimes at these mines You can just find all kinds of things. So we're gonna look at some of this stuff bust into some rock Explore up there. Maybe and just see what we can find. Oh, and as always GPS coordinates All right, let's get looking Here's what the boulders look like full of calcite With a variety of colors mostly indicating iron or some other metals So yeah, they could have even been looking for gold and silver We'll go up there and see what we got Okay calcite calcite Interesting little zones. Oh, there's something on this it looks like Probably like iron oxide My dad said he's got something for me to see over here. So let's go See what he would like me to see. Oh, it's like a pocket Okay, we'll get up in there and see what they were going for maybe. Oh Calcite crystals it looks like we're some nice calcite crystals Let's get you guys in there and see Yeah, it goes back there. It was a pocket. We've got some nice terminated calcite crystals There might have been some more stuff Makes you wonder what they were pulling out for sure. Was it just calcite crystals or There's some other crystals in here some other stuff So I saw this looks like it's loose and we might have some crystals on the backside of it So I'm gonna try and pry that off Well, it looks like in these pockets you can get these little dog tooth crystals of calcite I wonder if that's what people are looking for when they're up here So you might be able to see some dog tooth sticking out. It's a little Calcite crystals. So some people maybe you're trying to get nice crystals of calcite Maybe there's more stuff here. So I've cleaned out the pocket a little bit and you can see some nice dog-tooth calcite crystals in here Poken out from the walls Over here you have some that are very white. So that's pretty cool Let me try and hold this steady for you. There you go Yeah, look at those white calcite there and then the more brownish Ones up here that one up in the top left is really nice Okay, so I've been I pulled out this pocket here and in the center. We've got this stuff Which at first you don't think it's much Except that when I hold it it feels heavier than I think it should Which makes me think there might be some considerate or something in Some of these so I'm gonna take these home and kind of look at them close up with the hand lens To see if any of it looks like something other than calcite or gypsum So yeah, maybe I've got something that came out of the center there Maybe not so I'm up in the upper pit now So just back that way and down there That's where my dad is currently in the lower pit where we parked and I just walked up here definitely not as much of the alteration and thick veins of calcite But still There's some interesting things going on here We got this It's probably just calcite, but I'm gonna bust that open and see if there's anything else Look it open And as you can see It is pretty much all calcite It's pretty But it's just calcite Here's the other side Nice view from up here. That's where we parked. That's where we're at You can see over there. That's where we were the other day when we were looking for the horn coral fossils nice After looking at these closely These are definitely Mostly calcite, but there are some metal Minerals that you get in here probably hematite And they probably were originally mining this area for gold And I'm back home So I did film out there originally, but that video kind of got corrupted and didn't work anyway So I'm closing it here. It was a neat little spot There are some cool little calcite crystals and maybe some other things probably originally mined for gold So fun little spot if you want to go out to it This video is much shorter because we didn't spend a whole lot of time out there and right now I'm really busy with other things. So We just got a kind of a shorter video today, but I hope you enjoyed it. I'll see you next time and remember there is treasure everywhere
