Comment on brilliant as silver
Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 2 months agoOut in the edge of the lower mainland of BC by Hope, where there was a mini gold rush a long time ago you can find lots and lots of mercury sitting below the water levels when the streams dry out during the summer.
It is all left behind from the miners back in the day.

That sounds like it would look really lovely. Got any pictures?

Mercury sitting below the ground level sitting underground, potentially poisoning the ground water if it gets disturbed enough is beautiful or just the area of nature where the gold panning happens?

It’s a shitty situation, but that doesn’t preclude it from possibly being beautiful to look at.
