Tombstone Rockhounding and Abandoned Mine Adventure!
Join me as I explore through the Tombstone mining district in search for beautiful gemstones. The video starts with a summary of the wild old mining days of Tombstone Arizona.
Then I take you on an adventure through the abandoned mining complex where I find deep mine shafts and hard rock mine entrances.
While on my desert expedition, I find many beautiful rock specimens, including turquoise, chrysocolla, azurite, malachite, and even peacock ore.
At the end of the day, I feel a sense of accomplishment as I trailblazed through the harsh desert terrain in search of natural treasures, just like Ed Schieffelin did in the old days of Tombstone exploration. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6HF01s0kX0

Learn how to vigorously clean IBC totes without a pressure washer on your homestead! In this video, I show you the process to get your IBC tanks squeaky clean after over a year of them sitting out in the sun and growing algae.
I was away from the homestead for work for almost a year and my IBC totes became filthy with extreme algae growth. I did not want to purchase a pressure washer, so I had to figure out a way to get my IBC totes clean enough to store water and to use for my homestead garden.
I devised several methods to get my IBC tanks clean to about 95%, all without having to haul them off the property or purchase expensive equipment.
I did learn a lot of techniques along the way, so make sure to watch until the end so you can learn along with me!

This video is especially helpful for landowners that live in Cochise County, Arizona. All of the examples I use are based on zoning and regulations for Cochise County, but the methods can be applied to any county.
Make sure you check with your local county zoning and planning department for information on how to do a minor land subdivision.
In my county, you can split your lot up to five times, with a maximum 10 acres per parcel. If you need to do more and larger lot splits, you will have to follow a different procedure.

I went on a six mile hike into the Superstition Mountains and was blown away by its beauty and majestic peaks. Everything is green now since we have gotten so much rain, so I wanted to share with you the amazing views and wildlife.

This is the Legend of the Lost Dutchman's Gold, a wild story about how a mega rich goldmine was discovered in the Superstition Mountains but was lost. A man found it by the name of Jacob Schwartz and mined vast amounts of gold, and then stashed it in the rugged mountains of Arizona.
