    New subscriber here, I really enjoy your content. I live in Fillmore county down by Spring Valley. If you do your homework you will find there was alot of iron ore mining in that area years ago. There are places where the iron ore deposits cross streams and that is where you can actually find decent gold. Yes even pickers and occasionally wire gold. Are you going to get rich, probably not unless you could set up a wash plant for mining sand. Remember the old saying, gold rides an iron horse. I look forward for more great content. I especially like your satire. Haha the reporter hit in the face by a fish!!

    I'm just inside the driftless zone in MN and can attest it goes from nothing to decent amounts of till/AU over a very short distance. Like you say, some of the moraines along the edges could be loaded and gradually spread into the driftless through alluvial action. The Straight River in Faribault as a really good example of this, where you can find gold in every pan, but once you get downstream into the Cannon river, practically nothing.

    I live in the driftless zone near La Crosse, WI and learn so much from your channel! I haven't done any prospecting here, but have this question. We have (literally) tons of sandstone, limestone and cold water agate (less agate) in our yard and layers of quartz crystals formed in the rock. My question is: Would this quartz layer have the potential to hold gold in it? Or do the layers of quartz crystals represent something else?

    • @GlacialGoldHunter
      @GlacialGoldHunter День назад

      Good question. Most quartz will not have gold in it. But it’s the quartz veins that come off of volcanic intrusions, or fault veins. It takes a lot of heat and pressure to drive the gold into solution. As it rises through the depths of the earth that pressure dissipates and the fluids can essentially start to boil. That’s when you will get most of your dissolved minerals to precipitate. That’s why I’m always looking for signs of volcanism and metamorphism in the tailings. The quarts you are likely seeing is quartz that was dissolved at cooler temps than would be carrying gold. But that is an assumption on my part. Gotta take samples to know what’s there.

It has been 42 years since I left Ak and 35 since I left Wi. for Wa and shortly after bought a gold pan where I still reside presently. If someone had told me in 1983 to bring my gold pan because there was gold in Wi, it would have kept me out of the bar life of Wi!
