@@Askjeffwilliams You must have found your motherlode because of all the reruns LOL You're not to far from one of your claims on this video. Thanks Jeff for sharing your knowledge
Jeff, I absolutely love your enthusiasm! Your videos have taught me a lot over the years and your positivity is really infectious!! Many a viewer has been bit by the gold bug after watching your videos! I wish you the best of luck in finding that motherlode!
Most of the Gold found in your State comes from the Blue Mountains and classified as an orogenic gold deposit ( mesothermal ) and placer deposits can be found in the same way that we show here.
Cool, can't wait for you to watch my applying physics in dowsing gold with the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod when attending one of your future outings. Actually, I show you how to dowse gold deposits from over 30 miles away while driving down highways and trails with pinpointing the highest concentrations of gold or any desired element that is to be precisely dowsed on foot. It's going to be fun with learning and sharing prospecting techniques from and with others.
REMEMBER jeff always tell people to check the larger chuncks with a gold detector to see if there is any gold in those chunks, ? but in the future throw the larger chunks into another 5 gal bucket to be checked later! i threw out a bucket and found a chunk that had over 1 0z in the rock in weight after it got crushed! i know your prospecting to find the gold location in washes , but your also teaching people to lose the product, weither its in the chunks or not?EVER THROW THE ROCKS AWAY TILL ITS BEEN CHECK WITH A GOLD DETECTOR!!!
Hi Jeff recently I was asked what could be used to take a core from rock to test that core for gold. Can you suggest a type of machine to do the job on a small scale.. Regards Johnno
Eureka Yeee Haaa.. It’s Rich… But not that Rich…!!! It comes from some where UP THERE.!!👆 Up there it is.. So come on let’s go.!!! Hi brother from another Mother… I found a spot the old timers Doug out with beautiful Limonite. So..!!! Are you ready for the land of 165 pound Gold Nuggets to be Found..!!! Say hi to Lila and the gang. Cheers Famo59 Tony .👍🍻⛏️

Another great video ! Thanks for showing us where to look ! My friends and I did the same years ago and located a vein that nobody else found. Too bad it was in the Desert Preserve. sigh.... We smashed that LIKE button for ya !
Where can i find the geology reports you mentioned that one should study first before prospecting? Are you talking about the MRDS database at the USGS? Those reports always seem to be somewhat simple and short and lacking details and history. Thanks Jeff, another great video!
well shucky darn, jeff absolute great video. from one old timer miner to another. my placer mine out here in hangtown california keeps me busy and produces about 40 grams per day.special note to all the new panners out there, jeff knows what he talks about listen to his advice and watch all his videos it will pay off for you if you pay attention. NOW GIT ER DUG
thanks my brother and 40 grams a day is pretty good .... be safe out there and keep us posted.....don't tell no one where cuz claim jumpers will be running a muck

I love your videos, Jeff!! Educational and entertaining!! Question for you. Do you have any suggestions on detection equipment that would work well at scanning pieces of ore to determine if they hold any gold? For context, I'm prospecting a creek bed for a potential placer claim near Ouray, Colorado in a difficult-to-reach area that requires hiking into (and backpacking out anything worth processing). There are so many other metals in the rocks (iron, lead, zinc, copper, titanium, silver ...) here that I'm not sure a metal detector would be much use. I rented a handheld XRF scanner and scanned maybe 200 pieces of ore without any success--though I apparently have quite an eye for finding pyrite! I later learned these handheld XRF devices only scan a very small area (maybe 8mm wide and 1mm deep)--not useful for my intended purpose of identifying higher grade ore worth the trouble of hiking out. Thanks in advance!
Hey Jeff, I know you're a gold/ore guy but have considered doing a video about pegamatites for us rockhounds? You seem to have a quite depth of geo knowledge and I would be interested to hear your take on miarolitic cavities, etc.
I wonder how much gold he thrown away in that classified stuff. He is only looking at 20 mesh or lower. Big nuggets are so n the stuff he just throws away. That would s where the detector comes into play. .
I was working on some old abandoned mines, and found all sorts of lead I thought it was bullet fragments but it was Galena coming out of a brecciated mess of iron stained calcite and limestone I guess I got to keep digging deeper into the limestone they say is the host rock lots of rock to move too much for me they were blasting it out of the way
Hand stacking. My grandfather told me a legend about George Hearst, William Randolph Hearst's father. He discovered gold in the coast range. He bought the large ranch on which the deposit was located. Every summer, he took the family there, and they camped out and worked the deposit. Eventually, they discovered the vein from which the placer gold was coming from. The legend says they built the Hearst Castle on top of the mine to hide it. That's why Hearst built his gigantic mansion out in the middle of nowhere. Some say that it's the old Lost Padre Mine. I was there as a kid and sneaked onto the grounds. In a wash near the base of the hill the castle's on, I found all kinds of those piles that you call hand stacking. All these years later I find out I accidentally stumbled onto George Hearst's secret placer mine.
that’s a great legend! now i’m scrutinizing google earth trying to locate quartz vein extrusions on the Hearst Castle hill in SLO! Haha! Oh, and Patty Hearst is still my favorite Marxist-Leninist Commie terrorist babe 😂❤
@JakeOfAllTrades11 Be careful if you go there. It's private property and the sheriff will arrest you if you get caught. My grandfather had many cool stories like that he heard from his grandfather. My favorites were the stories of lost mines inside the city limits of San Francisco. For example, If you look on the southeast side of Telegraph Hill you'll see how it looks all dug away. That's because in the early days of the state the governor's mansion was on the hill and his young daughter while playing dug up a 3 ounce nugget which started a small gold rush.
@JakeOfAllTrades11 There's a bunch of stories of gold strikes like that in San Francisco. The city is built on a mini mountain range that has at least one fairly rich gold-quartz vein in it, and several rich pockets of nuggets have been found. The finds were accidental, and when they were made, San Francisco was heavily built up from the rush, so a thorough search was not possible. There's still gold rush gold in San Francisco. The problem is there's also multi-million dollar buildings sitting on top of it.
I’m 42 yrs old. If you taught a college class , I would pay to take your class!! Great teacher! “I’m not a smart man, but I know what love is.”(said like Forrest Gump)
Go where the old timers would go. Jeff your in a gold mine in itself 😊. I d be laying a claim if lots of gold is evident in that specific area 😊 . GOOD LUCK GETTING RICH . If Slim would be in the video we’d tend to believe u,, haha😂
Fantastic video!!!!!!! When your sampling in the desert about how much gold are you looking for in order to bring in bigger equipment. I usually dig half a bucket of 1/4" concentrated material per sample. I have found one spot on one of my claims that I had 30 specks of fly poop for my sample. No larger pieces at all. I don't know if I should bring in my drywasher or not. I am thinking if there is no larger pieces around that the size of the gold won't add up to much at the end of the day running my drywasher and how much gold will I lose considering the flakes are so small. I am thinking I have to find larger gold to get my bigger machines out. Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks Red
Your wife is such a trooper! I'm in the glacial moraines of Michigan's Thumb with nothing as interesting as Az geology. I did 3 months out at MCAS Yuma with trips to the desert around Gila Bend to the Chocolate Mtns. A beautiful area... but hot then cold at night. Thanks for the wonderful content.
3rd pants on....could be blown of clean Jeff....now i orderd a whole stash pallets of new pants so Jeff could blowing them of one by one haha😂keep it up your chanel is great! Greetings from the Netherlands 🎉🎉
How do you get clean across the state in less than 24 hours. And allow for play time. Did you steal a plane in area 51😂❤. It's been 12 years since I seen western Nevada. That don't look like Carson city
Me thinks someone's taking advantage of the rise in gold prices. This is how prospectors became millionaires folks. They did the leg work and found the deposits and left the mining to the miners. Jeff would be in our history books if was born in 1820.
Hello Jeff I am new to your channel and love your content. I just watched your "read a river for gold hydrodynamics video from about 4 yrs ago and feel its the best one I have seen yet. Your content is all very educational, appreciate you, your wife and everyone else that helps out. Thanks again
Jeff, if hand stacking is an interest, you need to visit the workings along Moccasin Creek south of Moccasin Dam. The stackings there look like architecture. Walls of dry stone masonry are built to contain the cobble tailings, and the walls are around 4 to 7 feet tall.
It's very frustrating seeing hundreds of mines and almost everywhere you look they show claimed land. I wonder if im doing something wrong. And non of them operating even though they are claimed.
Finding a steel mortar and pestle (and no, you aren't supposed to pronounce the "T" in pestle) might be interesting, although it effectively makes one into a human stamp mill.
Great video brother! Looks like beautiful northern Nevada. What method were the old timers using to get the gold out of that wash where all the hand stacking is? Dry washing?
Jeff, always fantastic work involved with your videos , I learn so much , keep them coming . I was wondering what brand of vacuum vac you are using in this video , or a better alternative vac that you might have run across lately . Also , where are you finding the better retro fit vac screens that you are installing instead of the original paper that comes with the vac
Hey Jeff do you have a video or could you maybe do one going into more detail on exactly how to figure out if an area has free mil gold? Also whats the difference and why is that the kind of gold you want? Thanks

Jeff when finding gold in a wash and then following up the wash and trying to find the source. Is it possible the source doesn't exist anymore?
yes... it may have eroded out

And Yeah! I'm going to be watching Jeff and dreaming about that shinny 😁🙌🤠
I live in a region where gold,diamonds & gems are very rich but I'm having trouble identifying the samples that I have
The only rocks that ever gave me gold trace were the rocks that have this unnatural pinkish stains, red rocks. And black manganese as well.
If the economy gets bad enough, and gold goes to $5000 an ounce the only job available may be scratching gold out of the dirt.
There is a way for automatic mining in water with flow. without modifying and very cheap materials.
Sometimes these rocks too strong for crushing rocks with mortar alone. Smacking the mortar with a hammer does the job.
MRS WILLIAMS....thank you for sharing your husband and yourself with us. I appreciate the time and sacrifices you two make to share your fever!
