This was a interesting xrf result. I mainly mine gold and had never heard of hafnium. Obviously this is just a small sample. But at .45 % hafnium that would make this mine extremely valuable. Anyone else had similar results from your claim?

A little bit of high grade gem silica. I chipped this off a vein about 200’ underground. Very translucent and beautiful! Hoping to find some thicker pieces this weekend that are facetable!

When the ground is frozen outside you just gotta go inside 🤣. Great time exploring an old silver/gold mine. These photos are from about 150-200’ underground at the end of an audit. I’ll be back with my battery Powered roto hammer to get a few samples to run through the new hammer mill.

Picked up the new to me 40hp stutenroth impact mill. Inlet is 6”x12”. Will crush 5-6 ton per hour down to 1/4” minus. Now just waiting on the smaller stutenroth to crush down to 20 mesh. Can’t wait to pulverize some ore! When I get it setup I plan on crushing other peoples as well if need be!

Who needs a big chunk of natural gold for a necklace!? To help set up my crushing mill I have this great montana nugget up for grabs! This nugget was found by me using a minelab gpx6000 metal detector. It weighs 10.1 grams and would make an excellent necklace pendant! The gold from this claim averages 22k. 1,200$ PayPal goods and services includes insured shipping. Or I would be happy to meet in southwest montana for 1,100$ cash. This will likely be the biggest nugget I let go! I do not come by these often.

New custom mining boots. Personally measured and Built by hand in Butte,Montana. If you’re looking for a set of new boots I highly recommended checking out heel to toe boots! They fit snug and great! Can’t wait to get them scuffed and dirty digging some montana gold! Josh G. Harned.

Who has a cowboy in there life that could use a golden boot!? This nugget weighs 1.69 grams and (to me anyways) resembles a cowboy boot well. This unique nugget is for sale at 170$ shipped. Could be a good candidate for a small pendant. This nugget was found in southwest Montana using a minelab gpx6000 detector. Message me if interested!

Did some lode mine exploring today. This mines vein was 1’-10’ thick and averaged 20% copper, 2 ounces of silver to the ton, 2 ounces of gold to the ton. Cool rocks like this all over the dumps. Probably a couple thousand tons of ore dumps. There is over a dozen audits ranging from 50’-600’. The openings were backfilled by the dnrc at some point but would take very little effort to reopen. This mine currently sits unclaimed. I’m sure you will be seeing more of this spot ⚒️

Good afternoon everyone! Hope you had a very merry Christmas. This 1.9 gram nugget was found in the previous video I shared. It was found south of butte montana on a friends claim. It was dug out of ancient river gravel about 6’ below the surface, using the minelab gpx 6000. I have decided to offer this nugget for sell individually as it would make a great small pendant for a necklace. This nugget is 200$ shipped insured. Send me a message if this interests you!
