I am a long retired geologist living in Australia, originally from Sweden. I am enjoying your description of the terrain and geology , mineralogy of different rocks you find !!
-
Jason there are plenty of gold prospecting channels but you've really excelled in terms of creating original, educational content. Well done mate
-
Never once ever have I ever been so very intrigued by a solitary hike up a mountain. The natural beauty, the exposed track of the glacier and traces leading up to the outcrop above the clouds and the foot of the glacier itself, make for so much interest that the prospect of gold ‘almost’ fades from consideration. Glad you made it back safely with so much weight and distraction. Safety first!
-
Jason , you are one of the men that traveled the world, hopped in a ship after you built it by hand and then started one of the trading empires because why not? Then you built the railways after assaying the lands yourself. Lol, that's your spirit brother! Gorgeous specimens today and gorgeous scenery of our Great PNW wilderness. Thank you brother
-
Hey Jason amazing video. I'm a Physical Therapist down in Sonoma Co. CA and a beginner rockhound. I suspect your popping knee issue could be something called your iliotibial band - the terrain you're on in this video puts a huge amount of load through it. There are a lot of biomechanical factors that can contribute to issues of that sort, and I think you could probably benefit from getting it properly diagnosed and treated. Killer video!
-
For testing to see if it is Jade or Serpentine, you can use a Mohs Hardness test kit. You scratch the stone with something just under the hardness of Jade (about 6.5-7 on the Mohs Scale) and if it doesn't scratch you have Jade. Great stuff Jason it is always fun and educational watching your videos.

He who ventures deep is often rewarded

As Dan always says, “ I hope I’ve earned your subscription today “, well, you most certainly have earned mine today! Beautifully cinematic filming of the Cascades, Jason. So happy you were safe on the ascent and descent of these gorgeous mountains. ❤ ( a geologist would love to view your video about this region ). ☺️ Gorgeous rock samples ( that you risked your life for ), by the way. BLUE-TIGER STRIPE, so PRETTY and the jade is unbelievable!
-
I love living in the cascade mountain range. The beauty is unparalleled in my opinion. Love the video Jason!
-
Beautiful hike. Thanks for taking us.
-
This is the greatest show on earth!! A real treat to see this. Thank you Jason!
-
AWESOME WORK OF ART ...That journey up the cascades mountain range was fantastic . The sheer beauty seldom seen by most of us. Thank you !
-
I’d say there’s some serious value in just the jade carving market if you could get big boulders and slabs off that mountain. The minerals would be a bonus.
-
I love the wilderness shots. I miss being in a remote location. I almost want to see you organize a fan trip to the site to go through the tailings. I also appreciate your use of inserts when talking to us, while continuing to display your surroundings in the middle.
-
Jason, A wonderful rockhound prospecting video! I am glad that you made it off the mountain unhurt. I will return to it often to see the sights and the rock specimens observed. Thank you for recording what you saw to share with others across the World. Very kind of you. Your most valuable integrity is always on display, and so much appreciated here. : )
-
Another great presentation of geology and the beauty of the mountains. I highly recommend getting a pair of trecking poles. They make a huge difference adding stability in the mountains
-
You could do a hardness test. Dan Hurd is more of the expert on jade so you could give him call. Awesome rocks.
-
I enjoyed the replay almost as much the second time, thanks Jason. The outcome was cool too. ⛏⚒⛏ If you think it is bad pushing 40 yrs old, .... wait, I'm pushing 70, If I had a dime for all my creeks and cracks! ..... Thanks' for taking me along a second time on this adventure. I miss those kinds of adventures myself, .... The mind says yes you can, but the body says you better not! .....Do it all while you can, time and age are a roadblock.🍻Cheers Jason.

Poppin joints is from little air bubbles forming and popping again inside the knee. Can be from dehydration or pressure changes. You likely had both going on. Jade will not scratch while pretty much everything else will scratch. Translucent to light and passes the scratch test, and you got Jade. THAT is BEAUTIFUL!

That stuff really looks like a close cousin to the ocean picture stone. I'd bet it would have the same appearance if cut just right. That blue is just magnificent.
