There's this stuff called Dexpan Expansive Demolition Grout. You can drill a hole in the rock and put the stuff in. 24 hours later it should have expanded and broken the rock up for you.

Off camera, I was not so casual. I hammered it like a madman and didn't make a dent. Next time...

The old timers mostly followed calcite veins which led them to silver where it transitioned into the local host rock.

Mostly an industrial metal and we are in an economic situation. It had a good run recently. Nothing goes up in a straight line.

I don't like showing my daughter your videos as she always asks me 'Dad, why don't we find things like he does'. ;o)

@@meMiner I have to keep her interested as like I said, I dont have much luck finding interesting things. Needless to say, Ive spent allot on old American and Canadian silver coins that I have hidden at the various locations we hunt. I also buried a 1oz Silver bar in the garden of the home we just purchased....all to keep her interested. But I do enjoy the excitment on her face when she 'digs up treasure' Ive hidden...lol I'll tell her oneday it was me...until then, in her mind...she's the best little treasure hunter in Canada.

There are a few processes available and better people to explain can be found with a google search. Some of the contaminates will be removed by heat and others by refining with chemicals. I plan on having some fun doing some melts, but will send the majority of the rock one day to a commercial refinery.
