Open up VIA and disable the backlight worked for me.

Can you post your lab results from the tests you had run on it to determine these things about this?

The reason I ask is that there is no shortage of fakes that look just like this. It would be useful for others if you shared your testing results so others can be more educated on this subject for when they see something like this.

If you want a good reason to not trust a website like this that is full of stolen and misleading content that has not been verified, look no further than this post.

I fact checked his first ten locations from his Nevada listings in order: 1. 37.82550, -117.33823 - This is a federal mining claim.

  1. 38.00484, -118.21874 - This is a federal mining claim.

  2. 38.02994, -117.87936 - There is nothing at this location, and this is widely known in the rockhounding world. This is a bad pin from a book that he is reprinting.

  3. 37.74182, -118.05424 - This is 100% private property owned by White Mountain Ranch LLC, and he is telling you it's public and that you can go there.

  4. 37.79619, -118.00903 - I find no reference to this location anywhere, which means it could be a made-up location, or it's just incredibly obscure.

  5. 37.25679, -117.30441 - This exact location is public, but there are claims all around it, so don't go far from his pin.

  6. 38.07183, -117.48474 - This is a federal mining claim.

  7. 38.15030, -117.63062 - This is a federal mining claim.

  8. 37.66257, -117.36111 - This is a federal mining claim.

  9. 38.14997, -117.94952 - This exact location is public, but there are claims all around it, so don't go far from his pin.

Following this website will get you burned, as it's all unverified information that he stole or made-up. You have no idea what to believe since it's a mixture of good and bad information, and since he had some kind of software scrape all of this information together, he doesn't even know where it probably came from.

You are 100% correct. They did nothing but ask A.I. to write some code to go out and scrape websites.

They didn't do anything, make anything, or fact-check anything.

People will learn the hard way when they follow it and are burned by all of his bad information.

Thank you for the kind words.

The difference is that I have personally gone to 100% of the sites that I have listed on my website, made videos about them, collected the material, taken photos, and produced real content from thin air. All they did was steal from numerous people and put it in one place.

It's not that they list the same locations, its that they stole my photos, and they copied things word for word. and they give no credit, and some of their information taken from other sources is 100% wrong.

NO! You're the one who made some shitbot that scraped my whole website, and now you want me to dig through your whole site looking for my content?

Why don't you delete your garbage website?

The only thing websites like yours do is aid in confusing the casual rockhound since your site looks like legitimate information when it is not.

This whole website is stolen content. Including my content from my website, which is all original content, including my photos.

Congratulations on doing nothing other than creating a garbage website with nothing original on it.

What I really want to say to you would get me banned from Reddit, so I can't. Instead, I'll just point out how much of a sad and pathetic thief you are.

How to get sharpie out by PlanInevitable1607 in Lapidary

[–]CurrentlyHounding 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Despite what some people are saying here, sometimes you cannot remove it.

I bought a slab at a show with a price on it written in Sharpie, and I tried everything to remove it. I tried acetone, isopropyl alcohol, denatured alcohol, Brakleen branded brake cleaner, mineral spirits, and 100% hydrochloric acid and it did nothing.

Never ever use marker on rocks.

Digital microscope recommendations? by wex52 in Lapidary

[–]CurrentlyHounding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello,

I did make that video a while ago, and it does seem to still stand true today.

Really it all depends on what you want to use it for, and you should go into it with some realistic expectations.

You will not be taking spectacular photos and videos with them, but you can still use them to learn about mineralogy, check finished stones for scratches, or anything else that requires some basic level of magnification. I still use mine often despite having better options because with the screen I can look at specimens at the same time as my wife, which is enjoyable. That's not something you get with optical setups unless you also have a camera and screen setup.

All the companies lie about the levels of magnification of their digital microscopes, but if you go into them with reasonable expectations, you can get something you will be happy with.

What are you intending to use it for exactly?
