Tracing a 2-Km Mineral Trail Back to the Source Vein

Prospecting for copper, gold, and silver on our Rodney Pond claims in Newfoundland. We traced an erratic float rock 2km back through the bogs to locate the main chalcopyrite and bornite vein." We’re back at Rodney Pond, and this time we’re heading into the northern section of our claims to explore some new ground. Come along with Larry and me as we take a closer look at the rocks and see what catches our attention. There’s still plenty of ground for us to explore—and every trip gives us a little more of the story. 0:00 Back to Rodney Pond 0:50 Checking a vein near the main showing 1:38 Our plan for exploring the northern section 2:06 More veins north of the main showing 2:20 Breaking open the northwest quartz vein 3:45 Checking the country ahead 4:22 What we pack for a prospecting lunch 5:04 Searching for more outcrops 6:38 Working our way back through thick brush 7:09 Larry finds more chalcopyrite 8:24 The boulder that led us to the copper vein 9:35 Retiring from Rodney Pond? 10:13 Back at the bike—wrapping up the day #Prospecting #RodneyPond #Newfoundland #Rockhounding #WildEarthTreasures
