I would much rather plant crops than chase animals around. I'm cool with what you do.
You should try a tool lanyard- in case it slips
Love seeing the rock content! You should make the trip to Tuscon in the spring for the gem and mineral show. It’s crazy seeing all the stuff that people bring in.
Brent, as long as you enjoy what you do in life nothing else matters have fun I try to Instagram you but I don’t know how to do it. Talk to you soon God bless.
I might conceivably be interested in purchasing some smithsonite if you end up having some available for sale. I used to work in the Smithsonian Gem & Mineral gift shop, which sadly did not think it worthwhile to source any smithsonite to sell to tourists.
You should get one of those rock tumbling machines.
So… what whare the pipes in the mine for?
Brent, Talk to Dan Hurd, he could probably point you in the right direction for some good used rock saws.
Balls of steel, ty Brent…
Zinc fluorescence under UV blacklight.
we want more rock cutting! 😀
Brent, this is awesome
The new rock shop is great, and the slices you held up were really pretty. Once you have jewelry available, I'd love to get earrings with small slices.
For the bigger pieces, use the drill then the feather and wedges…talk to @danhurd about that
Glad you got out safely. The rocks you got were beautiful. Thanks for taking us along . Joyce😊
Please be safe 🌸
Dude lets see some rocks
Would aluminum collapsible ladders be beneficial sometimes when encountering rotten wood ladders? It seems they would fit easily enough in your shaft elevator since they are compact and then open up once you need it occasionally.
Your videos are meditating to me, I love what you're doing and letting us all watch. This is so relaxing and I may never get to experience what you're doing and would love to as much as you but it's so relaxing and gives me a piece of mind seeing your videos. Thank you so much Brent
What a fantastic Chanel. So good to see your progres. I have been on a binge and watched every one. How can I contact you 👍 (not a wierdo lol ) I’m a very handy lad and need a holiday(not for free) please hope I make contact. Well done mate 👍👍
I found smithsonite just like this in a mine near cerro gordo like 20 miles away from town! I have a few specimens at home
You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.
He had a hidden stash underneath the floorboards in the back room of the house.
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
There is no 12 step plan to "cure you" of being bitten by the Rockhound bug!
Happy hunting!
Brent thank you for sharing this video with us people that watch , one day I hope to come and visit your mountain my Dad was raised in California and my grand parents are buried in Inglewood .
You should sign up for an estate sale notification site. You can find many rock hound supplies that they are selling because the family has no interest. I paid 400$ for my 16 inch wet rock saw.
Connect with adventuretwins with your mine and other caves. I’m sure they would be thrilled to help you map it out.
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
There are lots of rockhounds out here, Brent. I'm sure you could subject us to a whole video on nothing but cool Cerro Gordo rocks, and we'd be happy. 😊
She can live her life however she wants as long as she listens to what I have to say.
Don't let your curiosity create damage to your body that start to limit your mobility in your not so later years. Stay safe and remember its all about body position.
Don't piss in my garden and tell me you're trying to help my plants grow.
As the asteroid hurtled toward earth, Becky was upset her dentist appointment had been canceled.
Please subject me to more of this exploration, and where can I buy from your rock shop? 😊

Don‘t let anyone tell you you‘re using too many bolts.
Is that Smithsonite or turquoise?
A gold specific metal detector brent 🙂 if the old timers were bringing out huge pieces of gold, wouldnt a detector find it?
Thank you
You should check out the Tucson Annual Gem and Mineral show!
Not going in those tight spaces
SMITHSONITE! I was way off!
so cool
I love the treasure that you bring from the mine, it is awesome and beautiful to see and I know that you love to just hold it in your hands, I am envious!
The system you used for the bolts makes sense, because rememeber, while lead climbing, you'll fall double the distance that you climb above the last point!
I wanna come to corrosion Gordon so bad just to come help brent explore the mines and help him pull stuff out that he wants the one problem is im watching all the way from australia
Take some measurements of your rotten ladder rungs and bring some replacements on your return trips. The vertical sections seem ok.
