He's done it! He's made the ONE RING! It can only be destoyed by casting into the 900 level of the Cierra Gordo mines!
@TheDirtyShaman
A common misconception about abandoned mines is that they've been completely stripped of any valuable minerals, but in many cases mines become abandoned if it's simply no longer profitable to extract the wanted minerals in a large scale.

As a jeweller in Australia, I'm insanely jealous of the jeweller who got the chance to make this ring for you! What an awesome experience! I absolutely love the videos you've done on refining ore into silver. Great work :D
@CharmEng89
I think that what's so special about these videos is, maybe to someone you're just "that crazy guy who bought a ghost town". But against how most people would want to live their lives, you went out and sought this life out to learn and educate. Nobody had to pay you to do it or incentivize it, but you did it out of your own interest and motivation. It's something I would wish for more people to have. Some lives don't lend themselves to a family life and not everyone will have the means/ opportunity, but it shows how we can pursue an exploration of the world, of humanity, and share that knowledge with everyone else. And at the very least, to show that we can make our living in so many different ways, that life can be so diverse outside the 9-5.

This was a great mix of the best parts of this channel: history, craftsmanship, and community. Be well, everyone.
@TheLawnCareNut
Those jewelers are so talented!! What a wonderful way to honor your home.
@ticdelarue
Was it just me, or did anyone else feel a wave of emotion when the finished ring was shown for the first time? This has been a great trip as I have been totally invested in Brent's journey since the very first episode. I impatiently look forward to many more great adventures.
@Dark_rumble
That timelapse around 18:00 of the metal cooling is mesmerizing
@feedsyoutube
I always hated school, but I can listen to Brent’s history lessons all day long by accident 😂
@williambryant5946
You need to mark the inside of the rings with "Cerro Gordo mountain topo map" so in 150 years when someone finds one they will know what it represents. Stories can be lost to time so engraving the rings will be a way to make sure the story of the rings aren't lost or at least it will be known what mountain topography map is on the rings. Better yet you could have Cerro Gordo engraved on the outside of the ring with Cerro on one side of the mountain and Gordo on the other. That would for sure make it known what's represented on the rings. Very cool video. Stay well. -Wil 👍
@TheLandOfJonny
It really struck me as almost strange to see Brett in a modern hotel room, after only having 'known' him in the other world of Cerro Gordo :) This was such a cool video!
@ARGONUAT
Brent is infectiously likable and yet at the same time a remarkably quiet LEADER. Very impressive.
@BraveSirRobin001
The amount of energy that goes into such a small thing is insane. It brings a new understanding to the phrase "precious metal".
@10171981
You went from a "mining" guy to a "mining" AND "metals" guy and have achieved EPIC greatness by completing the full process from mining the ore out to purification and finally production of a silver ring that not only symbolizes a FULL completion of an ore but also is historic because it has been DECADES since anything was produced from that mine ! Cerro Gordo is just the BEGINNING !
@dragonstarv8154
I’m pretty sure the miners from back then would be proud of the hard work you’re putting into to keep their life, history, and story alive. This series is fun to watch and learn about.
@garrettmesser4951
Brent really seems like a genuine soul. I'd love to hangout with him and explore. Great guy.
@pinebearclub
I have to admit that I was a bit emotional when the ring was revealed. It’s amazing how much work and energy went into this. I can’t imagine what it was like 5000 years ago. Bryan from Vancouver

Postman: What’s in those boxes… lead bricks?! Jason: Yes.
@Dumbrarere
As someone with an interest in mining and geology history, it warms my heart to see this happen. If you haven't already, you should invite youtuber and prospector Dan Hurd over to Cerro Gordo to do a collab on how miners back in the day prospected for galena, before the first shafts were sunk into the local wildlands.
