Have you ever found Gold in Limonite and if so where . Most people don't know about Limonite and that Gold doesn't have to be in quartz all the time. For more vids on prospecting , watch this video ruclips.net/video/BFMSKan9IUg/видео.html ... smash that like button ....SMASH it HARD !!!!!
😅
Yes sir, I have. Couple of places. In fact I mentioned this yesterday in another video of yours. Oxidation *usually* makes recovery easier. But that is not always the case. In some instances the gold may be more accessible, but the waste product can make it far more expensive than you may have first thought. Because when you break down the sulphides, simple or complex, you also break down the other metals present. It isn't just iron or copper or sulfur. Tellurium, manganese, molybdenum, arsenic, cadmium, vanadium, mercury, uranium (yes, seriously), if it forms in nature, it can be there. And when you break it down to the red goop that is now the liquid limonite, you have all of the petals that are present now in small enough size that your body will absorb it. And that is where you stand to get really really ill, it it could be long term.
found a vein of what should be quartzite sandstone with gold in it and the best gold is in the limonite banding in the sandstone.
The real gold is the learning your channel provides Jeff.
Thanks for teaching us Jeff
you betcha
Love these geology lessons, Thanks!
you betcha and thanks
I lived in Las Vegas and loved to hike around the desert there.
Watching your videos made me feel like a tracker. I suddenly saw all those signs of seams and faults, signs of digging and piles.
It really opened my eyes and made those hikes so much more interesting. Like walking through a crime scene.
I also started paying attention to the other hikers, noticing some of those folks with backpacks had rock hammers on their belt.
The geology of the Southwest is just fascinating.
Thanks! It's all about paying attention and knowing what to look for. You'll see things you never noticed before.
This is a great educational episode. I’m glad you’re going to do more! Have you ever thought about doing a one week “Jeff Williams Crash Course In Geology” and a one week “Lila’s Filming and Editing Class” and as a bonus, “How To Find those One Ounce Nuggets” by Lila the Gold Digger! You two are the best! 💪🏻
My favorite geologist. What a great guy. Thank you Jeff for bringing us along.
I just watched this and the video with Jason from mbmllc and its some of the best youtube anyone can ask for. ty
thanks
Thanks for the informative video! This really helped me understand more about how to read the mountains for that shiny stuff!
And yet another fantastic video! I thank you for all of the knowledge you share Jeff. Looking forward to seeing your next video. 👍⛏️😎
you betcha

Hey Dr Jeff, Great geology video, hope you and your wife have a Merry Xmas, from your #1 fan from Nova Scotia, Canada!😀🥶👌👍✌🎄
thanks my brother ...you to Stephen and tell the family we said hi
A quarry just opened down the road from me specializing In various feldspar as my area is a or near gneiss protrusion.. mainly known for mica pits and granite a town over.
My favorite gee-ollo-just, thanks Sunny Jim.
The dead cat for the mic has been the single biggest contributor to me watching these videos more than once. The information is super valuable.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
good morning SWM
Some Great info as usual Jeff! Thanks for sharing it with us. Once I'm done with Chris Ralph's book it looks like I'll have to pick up yours too!
Merry Christmas 🎄 🎁 🎉
Merry Christmas Greg
Wahoo another video from Jeff how to get your gold on. Thank you brother be safe 🙏
Merci pour partager votre savoir-faire...Merci.. Et en français fantastique...
Yellowpine Mining District is one of my favorite places ! The Galena contains various amounts of Ag too. On a side note, I pospected the base of Frenchman Mountain in Las Vegas, where intrusive granite contacts the limestone on the west flank, but never found any values. Thanks for the video ! We smashed that LIKE button!! 🤠⛏️⚒️👍
mine to my brother ...... there was reports of small Gold being found there and we have found numerous mines all the way up the west flank .... nothing to get excited over though ....thanks and smash it again. hahhahahha
Jeff, you and Lila do a great job on these videos.
Greetings from Texas! 🤠
thanks my brother from the Lone Star State
Jeff I panned some yesterday I found it last spring a landslide above the road reviled it I picked it up in the ditch it had very fine gold. I need to go back climb up the hill and get a sample there was white rock looks like something growing in it you said it's iron in a nother video
Morning from Georgia, Jeff.
good morning
Good show Jeff👍
Loved this video Jeff!
really happy to hear that
Very informative ❤❤
At my gold claim I have limonite cubes in the creek and my understanding is the cubes used to be pyrite but then turned to limonite. They are pretty cool to find and i have ones up to a inch in size. I also tend to find the best gold in the creek where I find largest cubes. I have a video with a thumbnail of these cubes I find if you're interested. And as always thanks for the great content!!
yes ....the black cubes are pseudomorphs of pyrite called goethite cubes
C'mon, everybody, click that like button!
Thank you, Jeff, always great info to find GOLD found right here!
thanks Jimmi Jam
Wow so much information you put out. 😮
Thanks! I love sharing what I know about gold.
@ but is the geology different were you are as compared to colorado being on the east side of the continental divide?
Another great video on what geography can be used to find the shiny stuff. Thanks again. More area Slim can run around in 😂
Still making amazing videos! Way to keep the dream alive, Jeff!
Great content . Thanks for the lesson.
Glad you liked it!
🦅🇺🇸💪🤠👍 Saturday morning goodness. And yeah I'm gonna watch the next video Sunny Jim
You can make money with this free knowledge
yes, found large chunk of Limonite from road construction in quartzite, in gold bearing canadian countryside, which also has other intrusions and no, dang didn't know so much until your videos ;]....this one's a great one. Thanks. I remember where ;] though far now, from where I spent 10 yrs..cheers from geology lesson fan
That's awesome! Keep digging!
NEVER STOP NEVER GROW OLD😊
Jeff that is Red ocher It is hand and hand with hematite and Limonite Indians used it as pigment. Also it is what you see in the paintings on cave walls cliff faces etc. We have that here in MO. I know where there is a big vein of it mixed with hematite close to where I am lol. Thanks for sharing the puzzel gets more interesting.
Geology is amazing and over welling at the same time.
Great content my friend 😊
thanks
You sure know your stuff, Jeff. Thanks for sharing.
Copper halo on a lens?
Like a bullseye? 🎯
nice.
Jeff brings up a couple of interesting points in this video: (1) What may have been economically unfeasible in the past may be feasible now or in the future as prices change; and (2) BLM seems to play favorites contrary to free-market principles. In his book Basic Economics, Fifth Edition: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy, Thomas Sowell dispels the myth of mineral and petroleum shortages. There are only shortages at current prices. As prices rise, it pays to exploit previously unprofitable deposits and to look for new ones. This applies to gold. As for the second point, Big Mining and BLM often seem to be in cahoots such that scarce resources that could be exploited efficiently now by small-scale miners are bulldozed shut or barred off. Maybe someone should drop a bug in Elon Musk's ear.
yes
Thank You Jeff !!!
Jeff really like these mining videos like seeing the desert landscape pumpkin Vine creek in Emerson Georgia behind my uncle's house has a little bit of gold in it he had 10 acres on the creek back in the 80s he rented it out to the prospectors association but they had problems when they went across the property line on the neighboring landowners property so he quit leasing it to them they was thrashing up his neighbor's land anyway keep the good videos coming see you tomorrow thanks for making my day 👍🙂✌️
sorry to hear that they did that to his creek .....
ha! I am not smashing the like button until you tell me were you got that jacket!
Can you do a video on how to use the usgs and research bureau of mines
we have made a couple of them in the past
Awesome Video Per Usual Brother!! Hoping to hear back from you on Patreon!
Stonepants on didnt blew of Jeff...my other pants flying at the Newjersey area as drone the size of a car and bigger haha keep it up Jeff greetings from the Netherlands 🎉
hahahahahahahha. next vid they are coming off
I live in NH. Can Gold be found in Slate along with the big Pyrite cubes that I find in northern Pittsburg?
Good mornin' from Ny
good morning Wally
Still love that sound "Ohhh Yeahhh"
SHIT I GUESS WERE GETTING OLD TOGETHER LOL BEEN WATCHING FOR 10 YEARS I KNOW MY SHIT WELL NOW.THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!
Thanks again
New to this, very interested, if iron is that thick, would a metal detector pick it up?
yes
Remember panning Limonite you are gonna get "Reddy Wet"! LOL!
exactly
Good morning
Great video
Do you have hot spring gold and silver deposits down your way
yes
Keep digging..I want to see those veins...
Yes. Make more geology videos and show us actual examples of what's important.
Everyone be quiet! Jeff’s teaching us stuff!!!
Me casually watching Jeff Williams at 12:28AM looking for advice on gold digging
Ten thumbs UP!!!
Okay so, Big Rocks; sometimes I hear you say get under them and sometimes I hear no gold because it boils on passed. Are the only big rocks you don't look under the ones you can't look under?
Geology is a language that will tell you things.
Jeff, your link to the hammer drill is to a "corded electric" drill. I am sure that's mistake and you meant to provide a link to a battery powered drill?
short Geology videos are very good
thanks
LIKE JEFF!!! УДАЧИ!!!
Some mines in the African continent are 3,000 to 5,000 grams per ton.
The red colors oxidizing out is probably iron oxide, which is ancient blood.
hmmm here is my VERY important question! where did you get that jacket??? website/ brand name etc- thanks
💙💙💙💙💕💕👽👽🛸🛸Love that video !!!
EXCELLENCE😊
Is there anybody like u Jeff on you tube that talks about Maine New Hampshire and Vermont Massachusetts
The way you do I haven't found anyone
don't think there is anyone out there like that
@13:52 - "Hey
You're a crazy ditch
But you look so good, I'm on top of it
When I dream, I'm dreamin' Limonite
Gold is all in your veins, you keep me right on."
Where can I buy that book? 'Where to find gold' ?
we have it for sale in our store www.patreon.com/c/askJeffWilliams
Geology question of the day, why doesn't Gold form in limestone replacement deposits? All the other sulfides do.Thanks Jeff.
Other than Carlin type deposits.
Good video..,
Any info about Georgia U.S. in your book?
I'm in upstate South Carolina, there's good gold in the northwest part of Georgia, and there's places you can pay to pan and you'll find gold too, but there's not a lot of places that's accessible for the public to pan or look for gold. There's a gold field that runs through my part of the state, from North Carolina through S.C., Georgia and Alabama.
@ thanks
yes
Hey Jeff, do you know any good sites in Utah?
yes ...several
Jeff "Sound Mind" and Body who needs a gym just become a miner yah you got to work for it! Dean( Soul) Toronto
thanks Dean
And yeah, you’re gonna get wet.
I am starting to learn my geology, thanks to Mr Heffy. I have green Liminote close to my backyard. Northern Nevader. Olive 🫒 green color. Have to take a hammer to it. Searching for a way to teach Scout how to sniff Au. deposits. He is confused, he thought I instructed him to sniff out 🐇 rabbits. Second edit ✍️ here….. my Au is in wire form.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍
Button Smashed!! lol
Jeff your telling them all of the old mountain man secrets!
Owner of Alaska Rare Earth LLC
hahahha I know...right
03:27 | No link shown ... hmmm.
Those dozers can go up some steep stuff I wouldn't even stand on because of how steep it is.
As soon as I saw the Joshua trees I knew you were basically in your backyard. For you new people Jeff's back yard is he steps out side and has 4 directions pick one he's headed there. That's his back yard. Lol❤ remember everybody in the gold fields knows him. You CANNOT trespass. Watch where you go. Another sign is look for white PVC pipe if it's not fenced. White PVC pipe is the chosen place by most claim owners to mark their claims.
thanks Rick
Awesome info as always
got me a profind pin 35 pointer. picks up small pieces of gold.
👍👍👍. ,been watching ,shawn willsey ,geo girl. ,professional geology club. 👍👍.
have a good day.
be out soon.
we use a carrot stick and a minelab ...works great
^5!
