Thank you for these videos you know a lot! I kind of wondered (apparently not enough to look it up haha) how some metal detectors can’t detect gold while others only find magnetic metals and it make perfect sense that the higher end metal detectors can use an electromagnetic field and the conductivity of gold to find the nuggets. Great stuff! Please keep these videos coming!
The problem is that you are kind of confused I think and have only a very vague understanding of how they work. All metal detectors can detect gold, all can detect magnets, but some are not designed for the practical conditions of what it takes to find gold. GOld nuggets are only rarely large and often occur in areas of mineralized soils. So a cheap detector that cannot handle mineralized ground or see small nuggets, if you had a giant nugget and mineral free soils, that detector would see the gold - but that is very unusual. Normal conditions are smallish gold and mineralized soils. All metal detectors can use an electromagnetic field and the conductivity of metals to find metals in the ground. Some do it better than others the more expensive ones can handle difficult conditions or see small targets.
What's your thoughts on aeromagnetic/gravitational anomalies in the field for prospecting . I've been doing research here and there on the matter and what I'm seeing shows me that they can be used in the tool box to find potential deposit areas .
@@boydbros.3659 it's a truly amazing rock we call home , with so many things happened and happening none stop. When you sit back and look at how the earth was formed and all the gravitational and magnetic forces combined with other events like plate shifting and volcanic episodes and its complexity it all breaks back down the way it was formed and theres a reason we have a polar pull and how there can be the mind blowing spots across the world where your eyes are not actually playing tricks but its earths wonder. If you were not looking for gold eventually you would put it together by its purpose of its place in earths cycle
@@GramCanyonSam Anyone who thinks that mineral deposits don't have/cause aeromagnetic/gravitational anomalies is living under a rock. We are floating through space on a ROCK, that once was molten ... this rock is chock full of minerals that effect gravity ...
Ask Here. I get many many requests for help, training, mineral ID, etc. I do not offer a service to identify stuff - its way harder than you think.

Hola Ralph, una pregunta: si muelo una roca que contiene oro no visible, y la hago polvo, la hecho en tintura de yodo. Supuestamente el oro se disolverá verdad?
Hi..chris. this is amazing video. Your video is answered my wondering. You know Chris, I find very tiny gold is floating on water and the color is greenish. Thank you for your education Chris..
i got a question in my mind while watching this video.. is it possible that a liquid Au be mixed or stucked in a piece of wood and if so, how can we extract the Au from that piece of wood?
Gold bearing waters (ones with gold chemicals in them) do rarely contact wood naturally. It happens all the time in the big mines that use cyanide but work through old mine workings with old wooden timber supports in them. The wood can be burned and the gold captured from the ash.
detector can pick up foil thickness of aluminum. They can do gold of similar size. If the flat flake is really tiny it wont pick it up as its just too small overall.
I have seen where silver ore was reduced to some cool wire structures.......the guy used vinegar. I'm thinking of vinegar into my best.......most promising black sands....the most course/magnetic. It's worth a try
The silver ore in question is a mixture of metallic silver and calcite. The vinegar dissolves the calcite, leaving the silver behind. Vinegar is a weak acid.
First time watching your show. I find it AMAZING and truly valuable info.Thank you for the education I learned from you, much appreciated.Will be watching more and looking forward for more interesting subjects. 😀Thanks. Gina Viola.

Chemical changes pull the gold out of solution form metallic gold. The changes are not the same in every case, and can involve chemical changes in the wall rocks, pressure and temperature changes. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
@@ChrisRalph I'm curious about how to refine micron gold from water.. I know some new filters claim to catch it in a whey/charcoal filter so its proof that gold is in water in many cases.
Another fine educational video. It is interesting that the Nisenan, the Maidu and the other native American inhabitants of the Mother Lode country had access to abundant pre-1848 supplies of gold. However, they apparently did not seek it out or place value on it like so many cultures have.

Colloidal gold does not glue itself together with magic to make nuggets. Its like seawater, there are traces of gold in waters but it costs more to recover than than to just buy it. Extracting colloidal gold is making gold for $50,000 an ounce - or more!
Your s good voice in the community. I tell folks and learn what they thought they knew especially see read in a book somewhere because I've seen grey gold have seen red gold but most folks think that it's only yellow and only ever found yellow
Thanks for the Knowledge. Sometimes we need to research golds properties, this in turn can be used to make new inventions, or gold machines that can process the gold better by utilizing its own properties.

I find gold in Nevada that sticks to tweezers that are magnetic when doing my clean ups.i found a specimen recently that has gold in it but not sure what other minerals may be in it . it's not magnetic.but very heavy.would like to send a picture and see if you know what it may be.
@@ChrisRalph Dear Sir! I found a meteorite thing kind o stuff on a himalaya hill here. I'm sending its pics. Please diagnose it.... what is it...i threw a light on the white diamond like part of it and it gave out unbearably sharp beam of light....this part of it seems kind of redish inside when seen carefully.
This is very interesting! Would you describe the gilding process done on statues, please. Those statues you showed in your video really made me curious as to how it’s done, and how much gold is required in solution to make that work. On a different topic, how far a hike is it on the trail along Mineral Bar in Auburn before you end up on BLM land? The Auburn Recreation folks were unclear about that. Also is it okay to pan gold on BLM land? Thank you very much for making such interesting videos about gold, and thereby increasing my knowledge about how fascinating gold is.
Before you dig or pan on BLM land, be careful that you are not mining on anyone's mining claim. Most mining claims will have signs posted to warn you not to dig or pan. The area near the bridge at Edwards Crossing is open to the public for panning.
In Australia we like to go magnet mine fishing, its almost like magnet fishing for junk in a lake or pond except we do it for junk and gold/magnetite from deep mines. You could try it if you have it there its away to get some of that easy gold.
29:26- gold is the honey of metals! 30:19- the ability to smuggle large values of gold rectally is testament to it’s value to size ratio. There are some pretty unique stories in the news about this. I read about it in an article from a couple years ago.

Did you know is the ancient egyptians had a glass based gold separation process that rivaled modern methods until a few years ago? It's amazing how good they were at processing it.

A lycarpus cup. Im intrigued please write More about this. I love ancient artifacts and site's. This world has so many to offer we could spend a lifetime discovering.
gold is the only metal that reflects infra-red light 100%, so ideal for spaceship coating and infused glass. Like copper and silver has some anti bacterial and anti viral properties. and its one of the only metals that can cold-meld together, don't need to melt weld. many placer nuggets are many small nuggets and wires pressed together under boulders.

A spider float the same. You can sink that spider and still up to 2hrs can come back. But add 1 drop of detergent and it will drown. That why a spider can climb out of a drain pipe full of water.

😂 very true! I love the edible gold/silver leafed Hindustani sweets! It's probably an essential trace mineral.. indium is, for the pineal gland, tin for the ears/hearing, etc etc! They sell colloidal gold supplements, just like the popular colloidal silver!
Chris; You where trying to say; 'Characteristics of Gold'. *NOTE If 'the Additional elements' are Magnetic & combined in a different type of element which isn't magnetic; that doesn't mean that all the elements are equal; but the Magnetic attraction Only pertains to the Magnetic elements. So a person can't legitimately say; that Gold (Au 79) is magnetic; when the magnetic force of attraction only pertains to the Other elements that can be combined in with Gold. 'Gold isn't Magnetic but can obtain Other Magnetic elements mixed & hardened reducing the Gold Purity amounts'!
This video is about gold that occurs naturally. It would be impossible to talk about every possible alloy of every possible metal at every possible ratio of combination. You would be talking about millions of possibilities. Naturally occurring gold is not found with a high iron content. Only tiny traces of iron are found in natural gold. So as far as natural gold, no its not magnetic.
The Egyptians or those before them originally had gold on the top of the great pyramid. This helped them navigate the seas, when the sun rose and when it settled, there would be a reflection or flash of brilliance for a long moment that extended across the flat earth and they knew where and when to look for this beacon to guide them, maybe!?
There is a possibility that the ancient Egyptian rulers ate mono-atomic gold. They prepared (cake) with the gold and they would live to be 300 years old as well as purifying their DNA, by eating these cakes.
Hi Chris sir, I a m a beginner and I am following your videos now and the clarity and the patience you give us a lot of confident and easy learning....can we get your what’s up no. To frequently communicate to help us during prospecting
Do you own a cell phone? A computer or anything electronic like a TV or even a car? By the way all of those contain and require gold to work. So please give it all back to the environment and go live like its 1900.
You didn't listen or didn't understand the video. I said on the video that it is the magnetite that is magnetic, not the gold. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
So the message is use common sense and agree with laws of physics. Always ask yourself for everything, is it possible is it reasonable does it make sense? Regardless of whatever it is.
A lot of people seem to believe a lot of strange things - that is why I did this video. However if one uses common sense and agrees with laws of physics, you should be much better off than those who believe strange things.

*NOTE If 'the Additional elements' are Magnetic & combined in a different type of element which isn't magnetic; that doesn't mean that all the elements are equal; but the Magnetic attraction Only pertains to the Magnetic elements.
So a person can't legitimately say; that Gold (Au 79) is magnetic; when the magnetic force of attraction only pertains to the Other elements that can be combined in with Gold.
'Gold isn't Magnetic but can obtain Other Magnetic elements mixed & hardened reducing the Gold Purity amounts'!
This video is about gold that occurs naturally. It would be impossible to talk about every possible alloy of every possible metal at every possible ratio of combination. You would be talking about millions of possibilities. Naturally occurring gold is not found with a high iron content. Only tiny traces of iron are found in natural gold. So as far as natural gold, no its not magnetic.
We all have trace gold in our blood , 😉
We have the capacity to measure ridiculously small amounts of stuff these days.
Red color gold in hard rock?
Gold is not red.
Lots of Iron Here. Is magnetite the black sand thats magnetic?
right, the part of black sand that is magnetic is usually magnetite.
You forgot about medicinal gold
True, but the video was already long enough....
How is gold magnetic I’ve been told it’s no magnetic my a pawn shop worker as I buy gold coins
Watch the video and it will be explained.
I like titanuim !!!
OK.
The Egyptians or those before them originally had gold on the top of the great pyramid. This helped them navigate the seas, when the sun rose and when it settled, there would be a reflection or flash of brilliance for a long moment that extended across the flat earth and they knew where and when to look for this beacon to guide them, maybe!?
OK.
50 bucks a gram ... I don't know what the cocain price is these days but ... 50 bucks a gram gold is cheep in comparison ...
Its an old video. Current price is about $70 a gram.
Well you settled that ! Scientific proof
Glad you liked it.
@@ChrisRalph however, fine gold is attracted to static electric. Keene makes a dry washer that uses the principle
It means rough natural gold is 100% magnetic
No, watch the video and have someone translate for you if needed.
There is a possibility that the ancient Egyptian rulers ate mono-atomic gold. They prepared (cake) with the gold and they would live to be 300 years old as well as purifying their DNA, by eating these cakes.
Mono-atomic gold is an old fraudster and conman's tale. I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Or any mail I’d for writing you for help
Sorry, I do not do consulting or training. I have hundreds of requests. Learn from the videos and my book. I have no Whatsup number.
Hi Chris sir, I a m a beginner and I am following your videos now and the clarity and the patience you give us a lot of confident and easy learning....can we get your what’s up no. To frequently communicate to help us during prospecting
Sorry, I do not do consulting. I have no Whatsup number.
@@ChrisRalph thank you sir
I HEARD THAT THERE ONLY ENOUGH GOLD TO GIVE EACH PERSON 12OZ.
OK. Feel free to stand in line for it....... I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
@@ChrisRalph funny
The ancient Egyptians and Sumerians have tales of monotonic gold. Im sure you have heard. Have you ever tried?
I dont believe in the tooth fairy or monoatomic gold. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
@@ChrisRalph do you believe in God or the bible?
FYI: Most of the gold in the world came from the Philippians.
The Philippines have produced a lot of gold, but no, the most of the gold in the world has come from places like South Africa or Nevada in the USA.
Or atmospheres made of gold. And everybody's take it and hide it and safe and stuff where our environment needs it more than we do
Do you own a cell phone? A computer or anything electronic like a TV or even a car? By the way all of those contain and require gold to work. So please give it all back to the environment and go live like its 1900.
Bet you it's the magnetite in the gold that's magnetic, rather than the gold in the magnetite? How much you want?
You didn't listen or didn't understand the video. I said on the video that it is the magnetite that is magnetic, not the gold. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
So the message is use common sense and agree with laws of physics. Always ask yourself for everything, is it possible is it reasonable does it make sense? Regardless of whatever it is.
A lot of people seem to believe a lot of strange things - that is why I did this video. However if one uses common sense and agrees with laws of physics, you should be much better off than those who believe strange things.
👍👍
Glad you liked the video.
The pures Gold is transperen.
Only the gold of heaven.
@@ChrisRalph Revelation 21: 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
So gold is not magnetic
Gold itself is not ferromagnetic.
wow nothing new here........SSDD
The videos wasn't meant for know-it-all folks like you.
OH AND WHEN TSHTF. THE ONLY THING IT WILL BE GOOD FOR IS TO EAT. EVER TRYED TO EAT A BAR OF GOLD?
On the other hand, I dont think you will ever be able to buy gasoline with carrots. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
@@ChrisRalph yeah right sir😆

I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
