great tour and really good geological explanation..... really good presentation ....thanks for posting ... me and Slim really enjoyed it .....we smashed that like button too
Jeff, both you and Jason are CLASS ACTS....I have learned so much from both and it's rare that top youtubers will give good comments to another in their field...You rock....."AND yA u're gonna get wet".
You better have smashed it hard @askjeffwilliams Wait I know you did probably broke it you smashed it so hard. Ya, your gunna get wet. Jeff I was panning yesterday and that's all I could say the entire time.
The guide was extremely knowledgeable, outstanding in geology and rock formation, he made the whole experience captivating, really enjoyed this vid and learn lots that makes me want to visit this place to learn more 😀 Thank you for committing your time behind the camera during this visit and prioritising every movement for the best shot 😀👍 Your commitment to the invisible audience is commendable.
I did some reasearch recently on some abandoned mines. Went on a panning trip recently, and visited a few of the mines that I had found. At one particular mine, I took a lot of quartz samples ranging from 1 lb to 50 lbs each. Broke them open and found more gold dust than I could've imagined. I've been working on extracting the gold for a few weeks now. After about 2 weeks, I realized why so much was left behind...it's a pain on the ass. At the rate I'm going, I'll be 110 yrs old when I'm done.
@@d.t.4523 i have everything but a crusher?? i have heard of people making one from fence post pounded and a heavy bar if your in so cal i could help you there are a few methods
Outstanding show today Jason. great content. I can only imagine how much you enjoyed the old shaker table. And the second table is similar to yours but so much different as well. Your host is very good at what he does, you can tell that he had a lot more to tell as you went through the tour. You enjoyed telling us about the Chilean processing plant I could see that from here lol. Awesome setup that looks like it would go right back to work. Thanks for bringing us along for the tour Jason. See you on the next one
Jason, thank you for this presentation, it is very informative and removes some of the mystery about old processes like this and gives a glimpse into what the life of a miner was like back then. Many thanks.
I love this video! This is my 3rd time watching it! I been watching your videos while cleaning out my black sands today! This is one of them videos like the one Jeff Williams made of his dad that I can watch over and over and I over again! Great video Bro!
It is nice to see they have preserved and/or restored the tools and equipment. I appreciate this kind of history you cannot learn from a book. You have too see it.
I remember being here back in the day and there were signs every square inch telling people "NO LOOKING". They really wanted to make sure that everybody paid, even if they were not going into the mine.... hopefully its different now....
Heads up, OK! A teacher of geology, Nick Zentner has a channel he started when Covid hit so he could still do classes on RUclips. He has perfected his videography technics with the help of a technician at the school. He clips on a Wi-Fi mic on a person he is in conversation with, much like this fellow giving you this tour. You would be able to hear everything he says, crystal clear, in your video. I recommend you add Nick Zentner to your channel list and add Frank Schlichting in Grand Forks, BC, he is rebuilding his Museum and a home next to an old gold mine that he bought and is restoring to become part of the museum. Then there is Gly, a perfectionist, he IS the video camera, you can get some tips from him, excellent channel.
That Crusher is Called a Dodge Pattern Crusher.. The 1st Type of Jaw Crusher, It's Major Problem, is the Jaw Pivots at the Bottom, and is Prone to Chocking and plugging up, All Modern Crushers Piviot at the TOP, so the Bottom opens... I have just rebuilt one, 5x7 and weighs around 1825 lbs, Max RPM, 235 RPM..
What about ventilation. Having a black smith and engine in there had to have messed with the air quality. I'm guessing they drilled shafts from on top of the mountain
They always say… do your own research. I do so much research. Every day I’m researching something literally for like the past four years. I understand exactly what you’re explaining. I just want to say thank you to OJ(mirrored) 7 , JD, & Minnie. I’m like on a Rocky Mountain high right now. I am so grateful for all of you’s. this has taught me so much. I’m wide awake. My mind stays in high gear. just the research I do at home sometimes overwhelms me. I can’t even begin to fathom the journeys all of you have been on. unbelievably so much hard work, determination, and putting an end to all the evil. May God bless all of you Keep You Safe. I’m Ready!!!!!!! WWG1WGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👌👌👌😘
Great video, can't say enough about it as there was alot of lessons to be learned. If may pick your brain Jason, are all shaker tables a minimum of 8 feet and if so why? Could an amateur prospector make a smaller shaker table than would be more compact and still effective? Hope you have time to respond, and thanks for sharing this video with us. To be honest at first I wasn't enthusiastic about watching a video of a guided tour but I trust your content to be informative and it did not disappoint! Awesome video!!
Oh! That 'black is carbon! Back in the day the old timers would look for black slate/shale because when the hot liquid which was impregnated with noble metals, intrusive into the rock cane into contact with the carbon the gold would be precipitated out of the hot solution giving them some nice fine gold & some chunky gold!
He is incorrect about his cube arithmetic. If a troy ounce of gold is a half-inch cube, then a one-inch cube is two-thirds of a troy pound, not a half.
32:45 great video of guys butt the whole way upstairs. The tour guide seemed to make assumptions about the content of the tour when there were items just passed by.
Id like to get into this line of work i dont know much about it but i would love the chance to learn im in a hard time and need something better. Iv been into gold mineing since i was 15 im 26 now. If you need a spare hand you are willing to mentor id be intrested
Very hard to hear the speaker when they're not mic'ed up. If I turn up the volume to compensate, all the squeaking and stepping in gravel blows out my headphones. The auto-generated subtitles are decent, but edited-in subtitles would be a lot better. Edit: gets better once inside the mine.
"Be sure to join us next week when we return with air drills,shoot a round, raise up on the vein to get a 20 ton sample of the ore that we will run on our truck mounted plant. We will fire our concentrates and do some math the following week" .......
Yes, the mine tour was excellent and it was very informative and the tour guide had a good sense of humor and a good knowledge of """current geologic theory""""... Note: the geology dates are all factious and made up by the free masons of Ireland way back in the early 1700s. Not one man was alive way back 55 million years ago, and so these are not even best guesses for the age of any rock. Rock can not be dated. Geologists use what is called circle logic to arrive at the dates of the rock. They will tell you if you pin them down: that the rock is dated by the fossils in the rock, and then if you pin them down, they will be forced to tell you that the fossils are dated by the rock that contain the fossils., so that is all BS circle logic. The Japanese proved that coal can be formed using high pressure, in as little as 2 years. The higher the pressure the less time required to form the rock from the flood sediments. The Geologic column is a factious and fictious creation of the Irish free masons, who hated God and decided to create a new creation story that included millions and billions of years.
Of only all those haphazard types that illegally use mercury in all kinds of places in this world would reuse that stuff the same way these miners did!

Would love to take this Mine Tour. it would be a must to have the tour guide that’s in the video. He rocks.
Makes you appreciate walking into a coin store and just buying a piece of refined gold!
Julian and the Eagle Mine are on our list of places to stop every time we visit San Diego! Super neat tour !

You need to buy one of Jason's processing rigs!
Good luck to you! 👍

Not if you had one of Jason's Rock crusher sluice box, trommel, more sluice box with a miller table units.

What a great video, I learned so much.
Cool mine and ore crushing machinery.
First time I heard the Mercury recovery of Gold explained.
In these risk-averse and litigous days its real nice to see a tour like this.
What a awesome mine tour! This guy goes into great detail about what it was like to work in this mine in the 1800s thanks for sharing this jason!
Totally Enjoyed this Video! The explanation of things on the tours was really good. Learned a lot! Thanks for Sharing this!
Interesting, thanks for taking us!!
My kids absolutely love the mine tour up there.
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time very cool underground cave
Loved it Jason!! Looked like .... what do you call it... Oh ya looks like a good time!!
Loved this video Jason! Thank you to all involved. Would enjoy taking this tour someday, with the very knowledgeable, and charismatic guide.
The best public mine tour I have seen!
Best part, at the 28 min mark Jason gets impatient and quietly points out the seam before the guide can 😂
28:15 "wow"
Classic
That was an interesting tour and video. Thanks.
This was quite an awesome tour. Thank you for sharing.
I remember being here back in the day and there were signs every square inch telling people "NO LOOKING". They really wanted to make sure that everybody paid, even if they were not going into the mine.... hopefully its different now....
Those bell signals are exactly the same as the ones I've used at various mines throughout my career.
I live near Julian and have been in that mine but that was a very informative tour. nicely done.
Jason, you are them! Thank you kindly for this tour which I learned many things.
really cool to learn all that information and to watch and hear all the things in this video was so interesting :)
Jason
Thank you for all your wisdom.Really enjoy your channel.
Awesome tour and history! Thank you!
Huh, I was just down in Julian last weekend for a motorcycle Adventure Rally at the Stagecoach RV park. Cool.
Thanks for the tour! Thanks for all that you do!
dope these videos have given me new passion that i dont know why i enjoy something about the history part is just so cool
That's was cool... seemed like a neat tour pretty wild to see how hard they worked back then
Interesting history great video thank you five stars my friend

Thanks for posting and all your valuable information, cheers from your viewers from Bellingham 😃
highly educational, great tour thanks for sharing.
Great flick good winter entertainment !!
Was A Great History Lesson!
Great job !
So if I understand the intro at the portal the mining stopped and never resumed which means there's still gold in them thar hills?
Your tour guide sounds like he could be the older brother of the guy, Dwaine, that gave TVR a tour of the 16:1 Mine in Allegheny CA.
Thanks for the tour. Very interesting.
Great vid! More like this please

Jason you should vacation to the upper peninsula of Michigan some time to tour & check out the history of mining there
Very enjoyable, those minors were brave boys working those tunnels
Love the miners hat man ;)
What about ventilation. Having a black smith and engine in there had to have messed with the air quality.
I'm guessing they drilled shafts from on top of the mountain
I hope somebody somewhere does this to an old Spanish mine
Fascinating, thank you 👍

34:32 The map is looking down on the site with x-ray vision.
pretty good video,,learned some new things,,,,,,,,
Nice history lesson!!
what was the price of the. gold 29.00 a ounce
💥 How many times did that guy say WOW ? 💥💥
If it is abandoned mine, Can one Sell those antique mining equipments tools and machine or is it illegal?
Oh! That 'black is carbon!

So awesome
I'm called Julian.....Makes you wonder in a gold rush wether a hardware shop selling pans, picks, shovels, tents and stoves would be the way to go.
well spoken gentleman
Awesome!
I wanna go down the shaft!
Is this mine still producing gold? Is anyone working it?
What’d the young man put in his pocket? Enjoying the tour. Thank you
The engine is not quite as old as the modern tag on it states. The engine is more closely to 1905

Hiya Jason
Would have loved to hear his questions, to you at 1:09:00
6:17 out of all the things said here this was the most important, FDR was the criminal make no mistake!
Nice
