The areas you are prospecting look just like southeast Alaska (where I live). I find fine gold almost everywhere I pan, but nothing like what you have. It’s just a hobby for me. I wish I had a background in geology. I find it fascinating. Love your videos!
I just found a spot of my own that has sulfide cracks like this I did a test pan and had a fair bit of flour in it be goin back next week with some sample bags for an assay
Hello Sir, Is there any acid which can only react with Gold or Silver, or platinum but does not react with quartz, calcite, clays and gives clear signal of presence of gold in samples in the field. We carry that acid with us in field.
I always thought that was just trash. I know where there is a mountain range full of those sulfides here in SoCal. Looks like I’ll be roasting next trip.
Pyrite itself as a mineral not much, its what's can be found in the pyrite replacing elements or running with it. Pyrite is Iron and sulfur, replace certain elements with a bit of valuable mineral like gold and you have a deposit. Pyrite is never just iron and sulfur there will almost always be varying levels of other minerals could be copper, lead silver, good, zinc it's when those values exceed a certian amount you have a viable deposit for instance one part per million is equal to 1 gram per ton. To a rock collector all depends on the grade and how it looks I guess, some pyrite samples can be very cool looking.
Rarely ever just do gold and silver. More bang for your buck to do a multi element ICP and add gold multi element covers all the elements you would need for base, silver, most rare Earth's ect for about the same cost
a little bit confused here, you panned down a found a speck that you lost on your fingertip and this is a good find? I am a litlle bit new here but you guys regularly find pieces big enough to pinch off the pan. so what makes this stuff good news?
i have a claim that all those same metals but half quantity its a vein 20+ feet wide 100 to 200 feet long how deep do you think it goes and is it worth mining
If that vein was mined would it be expensive to remove the Sulphides or would they Refine them also?? Just of the top what would the cost per ton be to mine there. im in Pa. and I can't believe all the veins and out crops you show us. I could show you Coal but I think you have some of it too. Thanks!
You would refine both, the sulphides will have valuable mineral locked in which needs chemical extraction. We have coal to about 50km north of us the city has hundreds of coal mines. 👍
+TheMost Random From the maps I've looked at of gold deposits found in the British Isles in general, Scotland and Wales seems to be the best area for gold prospecting. Heres a map of gold deposits found in Britain: www.google.com/search?q=map+of+british+isles+gold+deposits&rlz=1C1MSNA_enCA704CA704&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi26-Kg7cXgAhXiHDQIHYgNBzoQ_AUIDigB&biw=1920&bih=1007#imgrc=-lo9n-SepMWGnM:
Possibly an old fossilized black smoker vent???? A sulfide zone formed long ago. There are usually more nearby, the hot zone that creates it is stationary but the land moves with tectonic drift.
No usually the grade of these kinds of sulphide deposits are not crazy high, if you just have sulphides and you need to crush it super fine to recover any gold free gold as the gold is usually microns in size, You also need to proscess it with chemicals to extract all the gold. Occasionally you will find a mix though of sulphides and free milling minerals. The other alternative is the sulphide vein and gold arnt together, and the gold could be amongst the schistose host rock, we don't know yet.
Depends where you live. If there's no place near you ALS minerals does a good job they are a global company. But we use the one in Vancouver. You can mail your samples in down load the sample submittal form from there website. And send with the samples. If your unsure what to chose via assay. Email and explain about the sample.
Yeah dude love watching your videos.. I to live in BC Fraser Valley. Have a question you may be able to answer... Are you basically just looking for decaying outcrops with mineralization... Maybe a dumb question just trying to learn thanks....
Not dumb at all, not entirely but oxidized, stained decaying outcrops are an indicator for iron, and other minerals. Gold, silver, copper..ect often runs with iron or iron sulfides here.
Question ? If you have gold dust sandwiched between pyrites silica & quartz glass what method gets rid of the silica glass or quartz glass ? Old time miners used stamp mills to crush quartz to a fine powder , then leaching , I,m not sure how they got rid of those glass particles that end up in the smelt....will roasting oxidize the glass particles away and just leave the gold sulfides ?
Stunning assays Wow! Is it common 911 to sulfides so broke down? We hit 70 for a bit in SW Colo but the old Mayflower Mill couldn't catch it all and we panned gold in the railings.
Sulphides break down in the presence of oxygen and moisture. In BC we have a lot of moisture.The result is sulfuric acid. Some of the breakdown is chemical weathering but also mechanical.
Sh Ke Bob, I have seen seaweed fossils on topof the Alps. Earths forces have pushed up mountains so there might have been some ancient rivers pushed up also.
Once you do get those sulfides separated from your cons, run them separately on the fire assay and see how much of your cons are tied up within the sulfides. Dont just throw your sulfides away.....
Hello first love your videos... I have a suggestion for a video. My wife and I been prospect in for about 3 years. We watch what you guys are doing. The suggestion is the process on how your samples are processed a step by step after you send the samples in .
Ok. I dredge every weekend. The gold started good, then grea, then unreal. Thumb nail sized nuggets. Then absolutely quit. Small creek. 20 feet across and low flow. Theres a fault line exploding out on top of hill. We have a 14 inch crusher and a cobra crusher. Quartz everywhere coming out of hill. Chlorite mixed in the quartz. No gold in the quartz yet. It's frustrating. No sulphides like you find.
I'm new to prospecting myself.... "But" from what I have learned is when you suddenly come across a deposit in a wash. You will want to back track from the point of discovery and if you're not seeing any kind of source start taking soil samples and follow that. When that runs out expose the bedrock in the area and that should turn up your source. If you can't find any AU. in the soil samples then chances are you just came across an eroded pocket
Theres nothing upstream for 100 yards. Bedrock is smooth, high and clean of sand/rocks. Next 100 yards smaller gold starts again but I lost permission up there, different land owner.
196g/tn sample??! You hit the big time buddy! I've been waiting for this channel to find a hit like this (i've watched a ton of videos on my other chan). Well done!!
Whoaaaaaa that’s epic! Nice highly addictive stuff your finding! I’m so excited about getting my crazy chance to pan your stuff! Upload is gonna be mega cool!
Very nice find , I have found my best gold with pyrite, chalcopyrite , copper . The difficult part is trying to process and separate the pyrites from your cons, very very difficult because the chalcopyrites and copper ext other metals are very heavy like gold .
I think you can melt heavey minerals after adding10% iron ,fuel caco3,and heating it about half hour even iron react with sulfar then you can melt by adding borax and pour it in iron can like triangle even the gold stay below,(sorry my english is weak I advice you follow ask jeff william ,extracting gold from pyrite,arsnopyrit,capcopyrite,
civil engineer Hey your English is fine by me but yes I have heard of this technique . The problem is when you have a lot of arsenopyrite and others and then smelt/burn them it creates very deadly arsenic gas which is highly poisonous and so that’s why I’m not a fan of that technique. I think the safest and most efficient way would be a hammer mill grinding machine then process the rest through a sluice . But hey happy hunting
Found a spot in south dakota that produced a little over an ounce per hour. Gold was not worth that much then. Makes me want to go back and try again....too old now...right by leads, sd.
Awesome vid guys...for those who are not familiar and do not understand the definition of sulfides...can you explain please?are sulfides different colours and mixtures?sometimes red,Gray,yellow?I always thought sulfides have a yellow base colour...thank you))Sebastian
Sulphides are different, many varieties, galena is an ore of lead and silver or lead sulphide, chalcopyrite is a main ore of copper, cinnabar an ore of mercury, sphalerite is a zinc sulphide, molybdenite a sulphide of molybdenum...ect. An iron sulphide refers to a chemical compound of iron and sulfur and when it has other metals of value it changes to an ore of that specific metal
Good video... 💜’ n it all the way from Indiana... trying 2 learn as much as I can because... I find old jewelry & coins every so often... now I got a metal detector... & 🤞🏼I hope... 1 day I’ll find some GOLD... 🍀💎💰⚜️🦄💍🤞🏼🍀
Holy Crap.....196 grams per ton! That is over 7 ounces per ton...with Silver and Platinum Group metals thrown in. Isn't this when you suppose to go into the Walter Huston dance, cry "Eureka!! and cackle loudly?The other samples aren't bad either...
Right...just keep up the videos man...even it it's a small vein it should be well worth taking it out...Boy am I glad I found you guys and donate through Pateron...good diggings...
wow. those rhodium levels... could be some rare or even new rhodium bearing mineral species in that vein. if you find hard rock I’d be glad to help analyze some of these.
My best gold finds are always in the ironstone and quartz country, others have been in the granite country along with very good gem quality of topaz. Very easy to remove crud from pan here in Australia, rare earth magnet inside small container like a film container for 135 mm film. Good find mate. Well done, good video. Sometimes depending where you are gold can also be locked up inside or completely covered in calcrete / white fine pipe clay. Having a detector with you is always a good thing. Preferably a couple of detectors both being pulse induction type. Both Minelab and Garret make fine machines to operate.
It is my dream to visit Australia and spend a couple weeks in the bush detecting and panning for gold! You live in such a rich country I am jealous! Hope all is going well and wish you best of luck and may gold always find you!
@@911mining Any idea how common it might be? I found some on a hike and was wondering if it might be worth going back to look for gold. We also found fist sized chunks of quartz, some white, some smoky. I don't know the first thing about geology and so didn't know what else to look for.
Yes I'm thinking you mean sedimentary rock in general or from an old river? If it's a gold or mineral bearing area worth a look definitely. BC is such a mineral rich area. Quartz is always a good sign to, even though its hugely abundant a lot of deposits are associated with quartz. Look for oxidized rock (rust), and yellowish staining. This indicates some oxides and sulphides are present. If you find that it may be good. If you don't it may still not mean there's nothing its just a good sign as iron sulphides are often associated with gold and other minerals.
@@911mining I can't say if it was an old river bed or not. We were near the mountain top and the surrounding rock was predominantly jagged and clearly had never been in a river, but then in a flatter area in the middle was a bunch of small pebble sized rocks which were all rounded off and sitting on top of clay which was also mixed with the same rocks. It seemed very odd. The big chunks of quartz were found within the general vicinity and not amongst the smooth pebbles. I didn't see anything like the colorful decomposed rock in your video above, but I didn't know to look for it either. We did come across one large rock that fooled me into thinking it could be a leather suitcase from a distance because it was rusty brown and rectangular. I could send you some not-so-great pictures if you'd like to see it.
Cool spot! Awesome video! Only thing I noticed is you mentioned hematite in a list of sulfides; it is an oxide. Those results were definitely warrant further explo! Good luck!

Just amazing. You spot numerous different sulfides in the pan, do you think you could do a video on that to, help people identify sulfides?
Hello Sir,
Is there any acid which can only react with Gold or Silver, or platinum but does not react with quartz, calcite, clays and gives clear signal of presence of gold in samples in the field. We carry that acid with us in field.
Yes. There is. It's called Aqua regia
Do you guys do the assay yourself or who do you use? I am wanting to transition from placer to lode this season.
Its a pleasure watching your videos
Good to hear 😀
I always thought that was just trash. I know where there is a mountain range full of those sulfides here in SoCal. Looks like I’ll be roasting next trip.
i really like how you answer so many peoples' questions here in the comments.
What separation method are you going to use to process those metals?
What is the value of pyright, or how ever it is spelled to rock collecter
Pyrite itself as a mineral not much, its what's can be found in the pyrite replacing elements or running with it. Pyrite is Iron and sulfur, replace certain elements with a bit of valuable mineral like gold and you have a deposit. Pyrite is never just iron and sulfur there will almost always be varying levels of other minerals could be copper, lead silver, good, zinc it's when those values exceed a certian amount you have a viable deposit for instance one part per million is equal to 1 gram per ton. To a rock collector all depends on the grade and how it looks I guess, some pyrite samples can be very cool looking.
Can you pan for gold anywhere, or do you have to have mineral rights to claim it?
What assayers do this full analysis not just gold and silver and how much does it cost?
Rarely ever just do gold and silver. More bang for your buck to do a multi element ICP and add gold multi element covers all the elements you would need for base, silver, most rare Earth's ect for about the same cost
Wish I lived somewhere I could have a go a get a good little result, i don’t think there is but is there anywhere in the UK ?

i have a claim that all those same metals but half quantity its a vein 20+ feet wide 100 to 200 feet long how deep do you think it goes and is it worth mining
Good dirt or a early xmass present, that gray-blueish material, what makes a vain deteriorate faster than others?
Chemical weathering, iron sulphides, when oxidizing release sulfuric acid. Also mechanical weathering plays a part
@@911mining Thank you for the info.
I assume there will not be new video anymore on this channel.

We usually find our better gold in the degrading bedrock where we go in South Dakota. Thank you for sharing your videos
Where is Mr.Pocket ?
Yes that pesky Mica! You should be cautious when you are out and about. I have had enough encounters of a "stranger" to make me change my channel name. It used to be Finding Treasure in Colorado.
Is he helping you? Showeling dirt and stuff ?
