At the end of this video I was using a UV lamp to test for the presence of mercury since mercury vapor is very good at stopping the light produced by the lamp; During that I discovered that Cinnabar is flammable! It burns almost like sulfur, which makes sense being that upon heating cinnabar releases mercury and sulfur vapor.

"Where did I get my mercury?"
Well that's an interesting story for me. I was metal detecting in the Sierras near an old hydraulic mine and I located a rusted "tank" that at first seemed like an old propane tank until I looked closer.
It turns out that this "tank" was an Almaden Quicksilver Mines 76 pound mercury carboy. And it also turns out that it was the miners recovery flask! It contained three pounds of mercury and approximately 0.65 troy ounces of gold!
I used the nitric acid process to recover it. Amazing find from my point of view!

All the trees are dead around that area, that's probably not a good sign

No matter where you go, no matter how far out in the wilderness, no matter how remote a place it is, you can find beer cans there.

I was moved while watching your video Cody. My family in the past were mercury miners. Pretty much 2 generations a long time ago died from mercury poisoning. I've been to a few sites where my ansetors lived, and the smelter you showed was a little primitive but still a lot was still the same. My family back then were used as slaves pretty much to dig the cinnabar and refine it. Everytime when we would go prosect for gold in the rivers in California sometimes we would get mercury in the sluice box it remind me my family might have produced it. I have saved a good portion just for personal reasons. Good video Cody.

As an amateur hobby geologist and explorer of how humanity created our civilization, by far it was you who got me going down my path. Cody, thank you very much for loving rocks and loving the history of our modern civilization.
