Good tips here but one missing. When you hammer rocks, wear safety goggles! I have seen many students hammer with no protection at all or wearing sunglasses. It's not worth taking a gamble on vision. And note that I say safety goggles, not glasses. The latter are not particularly safe with hammering. My exclusive use of goggles has saved my eyes from potential injury numerous times where safety glasses would not have done so. Then again, I do hammer a lot of rock...

I collected minerals with a guy who did that and he still got a piece of rock in the corner of his eye. Now he wears safety goggles all the time when hammering.

I do mention protecting your eyes when hammering, sorry for not explicitly saying safety goggles, which I've never seen a field geologist use. Decent sunglasses and common sense seem to prevail.

What about a griger counter? I have to admit, i haven't watched a video of yours in quite some time. I've been learning bushcraft and woodworking with hand tools to go along with the possibility of prospecting one day. To the question though! I've recently learned that one of my favourite minerals, feldspar, contains uranium?! Specifically k-spar, the pink variety because my first find was a giant pegmatite boulder that i collected from containing lots of biotite, k-spar and bits of quatrz. I read that this kind especially would have Uranium in it. Do you have any idea if the levels are dangerous? Making jewelry from it may be out of the question if so.

At 9:15 I mention scintillometers. That’s another name for a Geiger counter.

@@CVshorey thank you, do you have any idea of the other things i asked? I don't want to throw out my first finds and was hoping to go back to the boulder and see what else this massive pegmatite has to offer. (All knowledge of geology learned from your videos btw, im eternally grateful)
