Usually when someone clicks the reply button, they generally reply...the sword?

Well so we move on and the next stop will be some more clifts. I'm going to check and see what minerals are in which level. I think that's important because of the number of different rocks. We are looking at some more of those hollow rocks as well. I'm sure we will find some interesting rock samples. I've got my eye set on a white cap outcrop close by so we shall see. Wish us luck! You all be safe!

Yes we've been working on some things here that are interesting for sure. We think we got some things figured out KY hiker! Yesterday we had a great day and here is what we have located. Look at the pic with all the silver ore in the pan. That rock was found in one of the shafts along with quartz and some more of that basalt rock. Yesterday me and Jimmy think we located two furnaces and yes the glass does look like it's the right color and from one of the shaft areas. The ore is just laying all around that basalt rock. Here is some pics to view. I'm cooking the rocks we found and those rocks are showing limestone. So we think that the silver is in sand stone and limestone.

Hey bud I ran some more of that rock and this is what I'm getting out of a #4 cup filled up 3/4 full. The temperature changed on this ore and yes it will boil out very very quick so you have to be careful. The smell is different as well now. I'm trying another one run soon and I'm changing my recipe a little. It does not need much soda ash at all. The weight on that scale is 30.4 g and I could do three a day by my self and not breaking to much sweat. I've found something in the laural thicket and I know it's man made. I'm taking a good pic to view.

Many of the pictures of rock you posted look very similar to quarried limestone we find around here in North Central KY, same color anyway. You never did mention how fine you are crushing your samples before cooking them off.

I've found something this morning man but what are they? There's one at every seam that crosses the branch. It looks like it's a big stash of rich ore. Every one of them looks like a turtle with his head poked out.

Yes I'm using real fine dust. I'm going to save you some of this ore to check out borax and not to much soda ash. I am cooking at 1948 F on temperature but you can't turn your back on it

Ok well I think we exposed a drag link system and if you know what a drag link can do then you will understand. Check out this reflective material used to conceal a number of things. There's a marker stone that marks a turning point.

Alot can happen in one day here. Today I started investing a few rocks that I found so I took these shots at night then I'll do the same tomorrow. Well I'm not sure what this is yet but it looks like a furnace system ,foundation or a message. I'm going up higher on the mountain to get a better view. Notice the orange color. I tested them and the results were really green. Wouldn't you know it would be in my entire driveway and that's no joke. Today I realized I may have a basement because it looks like three big turtles under it. Yeah man right dead center.lol Now who wants to help?

 

[Sevenfeathers777]

I went to the triangle cave and there I always take a pitcher so I got this pic. In the pic you can see what looks like a layout of rocks in the shape of a turtle. It's one of the shapes in my driveway! Now man I'm still up and can't sleep I'm so excited. I'm going to be extra cautious. When your standing dead center of the turtle it turns you right to the view. The way the seam runs hits dead center center going up the branch and I've found three mines that have the blue rocks in front of the entrances. North is running straight with the branch . I will keep you posted and look what I'm working on! I'm giving it a makeover and the rain is helping me.

 

[Sevenfeathers777]

Ok I'm clearing one of the entrances that I found a long with the turtle that I've been cleaning up to get my center right. This is a lot bigger than what you think and I can't wait to show you. I worked all night cleaning it up.

No I have not, but there is an old discussion in a thread on here I have read some time back. Might want to read that before going, may save you both time and effort!
