The Gold Mine On Grandfather Mountain

I took a trip into the past deep into the woods of Grandfather Mountain in Watauga County North Carolina. There is a old gold mine in the State Park that is about impossible to find. No trail or map. I just crossed the creeks and absorbed nature. This adventure created a wonderful bushwhacking experience in the late winter season. I could see miles deep into the woods. Which allowed me to spot ...

This is not your everyday digging at Propst Farm. The owner of the farm Ronald needed new well dug on the property. This year I have been working with Ronald on projects around the property and farm. This was a job that I couldn't sleep the night before but not for the typical reason. Knowing the water lines had to be hooked up after the well was dug we could only dream about what corundum ruby...

Are Yaw OK, We can REBUILD ❤❤❤❤
Truly inspiring. Adversity is the foundation of excellence. These people should rejoice in this beautiful challenge.
🙏😢
I hope you’re doing alright, I know that this storm caught millions of us off guard, my wife and I are incredibly lucky, our house survived with minimal damage, I know that we don’t know each other but it’s good to know that you’re okay up there… we prepared for a storm as best we could, but nothing could have prepared for what you’re going through across the mountains, we enjoy your videos & appreciate the little updates…Thursday night I was still planning on being able to go little pine for garnets by Sunday morning, wow, was I wrong… we’re just hoping to use a card for supplies sometime soon, cash is king down our way. But our town is starting to clean up and come back online, we’re maybe one out of a hundred people in the city with power back. I know it’s still a recovery operation up your way, keep us posted on recovery & stay safe brother, we’re pulling for y’all
But, republicans say "THERE'S NO CLIMATE CHANGES.."!🤨🧐😟😟 NOW! DO YOU ALL STILL BELIEVE THEM!! IT'S LITTERALY, LIKE AN "APOCALYPTIC SCENE" OVER THERE! And, don't tell me that we shouldn't mix politics with hurricanes! Because, it's "exactly" what you're gonna get more of, with the years to come. So, if the political people, don't "ALL" take it more seriously...your infrastructures, are gonna be built the same, and it's gonna be groundhog day "over and over, again"! Just sayin'...🤔🤔🤔
Praying for y'all 🙏💞
Repent. Good has spoken. Stop passing anti LGBT laws. Love thy neighbor. Thou shalt not judge
@@gymjoedude where do u people come from
Thanks
Any news on if the Sibelco plant was affected?
Ironic - "Biblical" floods in the bible belt.
Speechless no words
Words are not important. Lives lost and damage to our mountain communities are the issue. Hearts, prayers and aid should be the issue for Western NC
Biblical?
Advised to leave.
They’re goin scorched earth. God is winning, they know their time is short.
Not biblical
So sad. Thanks for the update.
Good to see that you made it through, we’re in Laurens county sc lots of damage here too, we’re thinking of y’all & wishing a safe and speedy recovery
Hi
@@ZoltanAndriotis Top Follower! Hello good sir.
I have been waiting for you to post another video , but I sure wish it wasn't about this . Stay safe .
I needed something to light the fire under me. Can you imagine the creek finds!!?!?!
I've seen enough epic , near biblical flooding in my day for sure . And yes , the creek finds will likely be incredible . Id forgoe that gladly to undo the damage if I could , though .
What part of NC are you from?
Is that the spot in Tennessee?
Going out today for the first time in years. This got me pumped!! 🙌
NE ahí al rubí al raz de la tierra y aquí no hay en donde yo vivo ... Bueno si hay piedritas pero no rubíes 😞
NE ya hay piedra
Very very helpful video .Thanks brother.
Have you stopped making videos
It should be hard rock Not a calcite has harden is only 1-2 mohs
Hard work, thanks for shooting this video. I live in the area.
I'm surprised that you don't use a clay shovel or drain spade when digging that impacted clay, water would probably help by loading a couple pails on a small cart
Never seen a gem grade sapphire or ruby from this area.
Hi
That's beautiful, I accidentally found a mother lode of gold in terminated with emeralds in north Carolina when I was hitchhiking in 1981 and never returned. But I never forgot the landmark and immediate area.
@@WilliamCarr-tn5qp tell me please ill leave most for you
Two words boat horn bears hate it so do I but works. lol.
Who buys your stones
U have got some nice stones today
We're is this place at again
What an amazing place please send me info on how this works. I am a cowgirl from Ohio who loves rock hounding and adventure. Ty for letting ppl do this! And sharing the 🌎 s wonders and treasures! From one farmer to another God bless ya! 🙌
I believe that contraption works better than the high dollar equipment.
can a muriatic acid dissolve a gold?
I love the attitude of this video. I just made my first trip to Crabtree after relocating to NC. Your comparison to a scratch-off lotto ticket is a great analogy. It totally is a place where you get out what you put in... I'm one that likes to dig, personally! Thanks for the great narration.
Thisis avelvel
Oh for the love of colored crystals. I'm going camping at Hickory Nut Falls in late Sept. and hope to find something
Love looking for rocks! Thanks for sharing.
Boone 🍴 loop is one of my favorite day trip spots, 3 hr hike thatll take 6 or 8 😂 perfectly, with a micro, or mackro or even the occasional macaroni, or mackerel dose! Lol although you do get some strange vibes coming back thru the campground tho 😂😂
I'm Chris Paul of Lae Morobe Province Papua New Guinea, and I'm very interested in that. Very interesting.
That is Truly amazing.
Some of the nicest big specimens I've ever seen, I'm headed out to North Carolina this fall for about two weeks of digging for gemstones.
I'll be moving to NC in the next months - are people still able to visit and dig here? Great video!
I'm in Asheville, Leicester area and I'm handicapped but ambulatory... the wife and I would like to maybe do a little panning but I'm limited as to how much hiking I can do, any recommendations as to where would be a decent place to try? We were thinking about the Laurel River as the trail is decent there but never heard much about gold there...
