Digging into the mining world

[QuantumLeapfrog]

Hello! Stumbled across this forum after way too many late-night searches on mining gear and techniques. Figured it was time to stop guessing and start asking.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Wow, 4 claims is serious business, you are cut from a different cloth. Amazingly, you work with them using only hand tools.

That's a real pearl of wisdom! I appreciate you explaining your method. The idea of observation being a tool in itself really hits home. I'll pull up those videos tonight.

Gee, that's an incredible list of safety precautions and tool advice. Thank you for taking the time to write that. Your description of using a scaling bar to listen for the rock to ring is a convenient tip. Is developing an ear for that sound something that comes with a lot of experience?

I'll check out those Youtube channels you mentioned...MBMMLLC and Mine Operator. Is there a particular episode or series you'd recommend starting with to get the best understanding of rock sound testing?
