What is The Best Resource to Prospect For? A Geologist's Tier List

You could make millions searching for valuable resources such as gold, oil, or diamonds. And yet, these are not the only resources that prospective miners could make millions with. Today's video discusses many different resources through a tier list format to determine what are the best mineral and mineraloid compounds to search for it hopes of making a profit. This video was made by a geologist with nearly a decade's experience (formal & informal) in prospecting for gemstones and mineral resources. Note #1: Most ore resources (but not all) are found primarily in igneous rocks. You may NOT prospect in Mount Rainier National Park (shown in the background); it is illegal to prospect or collect in National Parks. Note #2: Just because a location is shown in today's video does NOT mean you can collect or prospect there! Do not break the law!
