Out in the Arizona Desert again outside of Oatman and found more Gold mines to explore. We sample them to see if any of them still have any Gold left behind by the " Old Timers " and you will be amazed at what we found......so smash that like Button ....smash it HARD !!!
No shit, 2 kgs a day and these fuck8n assholes kept calling me crazy and shit, WHY THE FK IS YOU FAKE LIAR BANKS CRASHING HARD NOW SCUM LIAR HUMANS? 😤 LMFAO
Jeff you're a legend and your energy and enthusiasm for this stuff is infectious. I sat on the couch for two years. Unemployed, depressed and becoming more and more of an introvert. I found your channel a couple of months' ago, after deciding to get into metal detecting and purchasing a VLF machine. Then I had to get a pan and classifier, and suddenly I was spending all of my time doing that and not using the monster! After running around like a headless chook for the last few months I feel like I'm just starting to get it. I've been searching for an old alluvial gold field in my area and I think I found it this morning. By sheer luck I stumbled upon it in thick rainforest and (never mind the evidence of mining activity) I followed beautiful this mineralized quartz up an old creek bed until it was boulder-sized, but I had to turn back as my dog was really starting to struggle with the terrain. This creek is in the corner of a valley underneath steep mountains, and they never found a source for the gold, but apparently there were two main fields where the alluvial gold had built up in the creek and in ancient beds beside it. We have wet seasons each year where we can get over 4 meters of rain, so there must be points at which the gold is coming down the mountains every year. I'm going back to scratch out a few samples and spend a morning detecting the creek bed tomorrow. Thanks for what you do Jeff. I've become fit again and just being out there has given me a new lease on life. So come on. Let's go!
Mr. Williams, I find my share of gold now, and it's because I learned everything I know from your videos. I learn new stuff from you on every video. You are one smart dude! 👍⛏️🤠
Even though I have knots in my stomach during certain points of this video, I thank the two of you for taking the journey for the rest of us to see. Very interesting.
Left brain: Only an idiot would risk mining for gold. Gold brain: Those nuggets must have been huge. 👛🤑 You have a brass pair exploring those gold mines.
No Jeff, not sitting on the couch. I'm in the Sutter, Roseville hospital in California with severe epistaxis due to the blood thinners I have to take. The doctors here have stopped the bleeding. I'm just watching AND enjoying your show. I also want to take this time to wish you and your family a very Happy Easter Celebration.
I was actually sitting in the floor next to the couch… but I absolutely was eating chips!!! Busted. Fantastic video! Wicked camera dolly setup you lowered into the shaft. I’m just gathering as much info from you as I can before heading out ;-) Thanks Jeff
Loads of great info fam. Great job all around. I always have a blast coming by. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out!!!
I come from a long line of gold prospectors. Recently i inherited my gpas most prized possession, a 26 gram natural placer gold nugget found on my family's claim in the 70s on the one and only merced river,ca. And everytime i look at that beautiful piece of candy i get the excitement running thru my veins to go find some new candy of my own! Love all your videos and priceless knowledge jeff! Just recently moved to flagstaff from rhode island. Itching to do some prospecting now that ive finally made it out here to gold country! Lets goooo!
Really nice video Jeff and Lila that last one looked very promising !!! One thing the more you stood on the Abyss reminds of the rope I left behind Tremors were Very bad live another day some climb I did no rope the man who taught me about Gold was a Actor traveled in a camper in the 60's and 70's he had some Cool Collections he told a lot of old stories of the mines my Dad would fill too! Miss the fun of the hunt!!!
Another awesome video, Jeff & lila. Thank you for taking us with you. Some interesting vein structure. It still blows my mind what the old timers did back in the day. They were smart that's forsure. Be safe my friend can't wait for the mother load video it's coming I can feel it.🙏
Everyone would love to see that, To be there when that actually happens would be very rare unless the person could completely guard the location of the find. History already shows how may people jumped claims and cut into others mines back in the days. Unfortunately a lot of people in the prospecting game are lowlife scumbags with ZERO morals.
Lila is such a trooper! Nothing is gonna stop her from seeing a mine! You two are a perfect couple. I just know that you are going to be back to that one. It looks like they were just going for the high grade and left quite a bit of good ore behind. Given the composition of the rock I can see why they didn't spend much time in some of those drifts. Great video Jeff! Thanks for taking us along on this exploration. 👍 I'd say your best ore is where you were sampling with Bob. The colors were perfect for some nice wire gold.
As always, great content, the ocotillo plant products red flowers.A desert plant that's actually related closer to the blueberry plant than cactuses 🌵.
@Vista Views My reply was to Jeff's quiz question on the plant ID that was shown at the end of the video. Not to the jumping cactus that was shown much earlier in the video 😆👍
Your geology out west is so interesting, you can see so much and understand so much about what is going on and what might be where, its nothing like that here in the south east, especially below the mountains. Its clay and more clay, you have to find a old creek the see bedrock and you really have to know what you are looking at to understand it
If I lived out west I would not hesitate to pay you for geological guidance on prospecting potential mine sites. No matter the claim size. Your knowledge is worth it without a doubt. You are so aware of the geology and the mine workings and processes.
I have been scrolling thru the comments after I made my guess. You are the first one so far that I have seen who made a guess. I chose the first mine with Bob
Now that I’m old and all broken down, I find the knowledge of geology truly fascinating. There’s so much to learn! It’s essential knowledge if you’re serious about finding gold, though. I really enjoy and respect you shading your savvy about rocks and minerals. What I want to know is where can I go and just kick the dirt with the toe of my boot and find nuggets. Can you tell me where that might be, Jeff, huh? Can ya? Huh? Camon!
Sample #1 had the gold. I would love to join you out there, Jeff but I have chronic Hemiplegic Migraines and other health issues. Maybe one day. Thanks for all the fun entertainment you and your wife provide us with in the desert and mines. Really appreciate it.
Drink 1/2 your pounds body weight in ounces every day. Example of 100 lb person would drink 50 oz of water.. also stay away from processed foods and salt. You may be already doing these things but if you're not certainly could help.
Dude, no way! Bob is my old business partner from the septarian mines. Helped him get his claims up and going in Utah. I heard him getting impressed as you were showing the vein, and was thinking that sounded like Bob, and sure enough. This is just crazy.
@@Askjeffwilliams I keep thinking someday I'll run into Jeff Williams, the local legend. Man, if only I was more than an icon on RUclips comments, I'd love to show you around my neck of the woods. I haven't been to the Katherine district in a few years, but if you are ever in the Maynard district, stop in at the Hualapai Mountain Resort and ask for the local mineral collector. Just about anyone will know who you are taking about and they have my number. Or Bob can give it to you. Lol. I know, I know. Probably not gonna happen for my sake, but if you do, I'd be honored to meet you my friend, and I'm a walking encyclopedia for local mining history. Could definitely provide insights on good locations to film for your show.
I lived in an aria that has lot's of sulfides and lead. It was maddening because you could see the gold in the rock samples but you practically need a huge science lab to refine and smelt it out. You're in better gold country than I ever dreamed of. But then again you made a whole life out of it. Of course if I really wanted to get serious about gold I would get away from all these galena mines around here and go to Alaska!
It is so great to see you back in the field exploring old mines. I sure you do more field exploring, and below ground. Awesome job!!!!! Seeing the above ground is great but seeing the chase underground is most entertaining. Do you use a wheel or shaker table to help with the final cleanup or just a pan?? Only premium channel I subscribe to. You have great attitude and education. all that makes an excellent show. Awesome job. Take care, be safe. Mark
Looks like a good property to buy... I'm not the only guy that calls rocks tasty. Sample across the vein and different parts - 10-4 - alternating black and white. Got it.
Luv ya, Jeff, I always learn a lot from you. We all love gold, but yer greatest treasure rides beside you in the quad! Tell her I said to remind you often!
Darn it !! You caught me on the couch again ! But I was eating Bushes Beans this time. Lol !! Those are Ocotillo's. They have them planted around Boothill Graveyard at Tombstone. Those old timers left a bunch of ore behind. Perhaps it wasn't worth it for them, but $2000/oz Au it's perfect for us ! Those stopes looked a bit too spooky. Glad you didn't jump up and down, otherwise, you'd end up at another level. Ouch !! Be safe down there. We crushed that LIKE button !!
exactly my brother ..... so much rich ore just laying around ....got me all excited.... I know...right ...will bring the rope gear next time and we will ....you to my brother
I'm guessing the vein where you were talking about the Tide funnel. Keep up the good work! I said out loud, 'That chunk fell. That chunk fell be careful!!!" LOL I would be grabbing the nap of your collar and yanking ya back! LOL
I did a mold remediation today that started out at 80 sq ft of drywall and fiberglass insulation. Ended up being half the basement, floor to ceiling. 100 ln ft of framing removed too. Ground water. No gutters on the house. .
That plants Ocotillo! They used to make “living fences” out of their stalks! You probably know that , I’ve always found that so cool the concept of a living fence. Beautiful plants and another awesome video
Jeff, Have you ever come across old Spanish workings on your explorations? It would be interesting to see and hear your thoughts about those early miners. Thanks
Jeff I think the best sample came out of the first mine and boy that was some amount of gold from one sample bag by the time of this video I expect you now own it 😂 It just goes to show how with your knowledge you can find these gold giving veins still producing gold a lot of folks would stay well clear thinking they mined the guts out of this land so there’s not much left but you have just proved that if they roll of the couch put down the cream buns grab a pick and do some work they to can find some shiny too so what ye waiting for C’mon let’s goooo I would like to thank Lila and Who my name’s Jeff for constantly bringing us fantastic and stunning videos Jeff you never stop I think that Coffee you drink has a special power giving you an amazing amount of energy your like the Duracell bunny 😂you must only sleep 5hrs if your lucky even in your dreams I bet your down abandoned gold mines looking for gold 😂Anyway enough jaw jacking from me here in Bonnie Scotland see you on the next adventure of Ask Jeff Williams Yeeeehhhhhaaaaaa and remember to bring a spare pair of pants cause the ones you’re wearing will be blown clean off 😂
Watch out for those jumping cholla cacti🌵! I got pummeled by one in Fountain Hills once! It was NOT a pleasant experience! 🙄 My friend had to pull the needles out of my forearm with pliers. 😮
Well Ice Cream would be fudge tracks, I would guess sample #2. You got yourself into some pretty sketchy places, but some awesome explores. Thank for sharing. Be careful. Oh and what Ice Cream does Slim like? lol
Have you ever done an episode that looked at the mines up around Fairview? We took a geological field trip out there. The mines are pretty impressive holes.
That guy is so lucky! Could you imagine that!!? Your out prospecting and you run into the Legendary Jeff Williams!! Man, that guy had no clue he was is the presence of Greatness! He is one lucky dude!🏆🏆🏆 Great Video!🏆🏆🏆 P.S. came from your 1st sample 🏅
I met Bob years ago while mining with some friends in Utah, and worked on his septarian nodule claims in Utah. I feel lucky to know Bob and Kris (his wife) honestly. I'm sure Jeff feels the same. They are amazing people.
Hey Jeff, great video and tour of the abandoned mine, you always have something interesting to teach and I appreciate it! 👍 That bus sized rock in that mine blew my pants off...lol Regarding the rock samples at the end, I would say that Sample #1 had the gold in it... Happy Easter 🐣🐰
👏🏼 Great video, Jeff! 🙌🏼 Every month, I'm getting closer and closer to getting out there to check you out. 💪🏼 Might as well since retirement from the military has got me on the couch 😅. Keep up the hard work! 🔥 I also became a Patreon member last night.
Good job Derrick! Thank you for your service, SIR. Take your old school determination and put it towards your passions like gold prospecting. Jeff has some great knowledge and programs.
That explains why you explorers find pants in the old gold mines because they wore shorts while they worked down there. The mystery has been solved 😂🤪. A bucket would have been better when getting that fault gauge sample,,, just saying. The miners didn’t have the advance technology we have today,, so they couldn’t get it all like we can go in today and do. Your wife is very brave. I commend her. Blue moon is my favorite ice cream with red velvet cake.! Thanks for another great video.
Jeff I am busy finding gold in bitcoin. I know its not the same as your gold, but it fine for people who have bad backs like myself. Keep on keeping on. We all make our money in our own way. By the way, I believe that the gold came from the mine that went down 400 feet. Why would they knock themselves out in such a way unless it payed out so much per ton.
I believe when you filmed the down tunnel (when you said 100 ft of rope is not enough), on your left side there was a facing of a golden nugget showing on the wall . Rewind it and look at it. Hope I’m right. Ji ji
Out in the Arizona Desert again outside of Oatman and found more Gold mines to explore. We sample them to see if any of them still have any Gold left behind by the " Old Timers " and you will be amazed at what we found......so smash that like Button ....smash it HARD !!!

You got the flicker light effect going on right there. Helping out others with your mining knowledge. Good job Jeff
EVERYONE STOP!
THIS IS IT!
THE BEST GOLD PROSPECTING

OUR FAVORITE GEOLOGIST IS GOOD AS GOLD!! THE Beautiful desert BLOOMING WOWED!thank you/INSTRUCTIONS
That second mine had some beautiful ore in it. Thanks, Jeff and Lila.
I enjoyed that, that's the first time that I'd being lowered down a mine on my recliner, thanks Jeff.

Man I can't wait to get back out there. The season's back on!
Cool adventure Jeff and Lila. Thanks for the fun. I like the Sorbet's, orange, etc.
I just love seeing content from you Jeff.

Ocotillo, and the first mine. Like it when the Ocotillo flowers because you have had rain!
Play backwards tossing rocks down hole so it looks like something throwing rocks back out . Great info now we know we're to get fisher bait
Love the video keep them coming. I think the came out of the 2oz per ton mine.
I have been scrolling thru the comments after I made my guess. You are the first one so far that I have seen who made a guess. I chose the first mine with Bob

Great mine adventure.....I think the first mine had the best looking ore.....

Bobs lighting effected your camera lol. Reminded me of when my dad would VHS video his old 8mm reel tapes projecting them on the wall to record.
That was fun! I'm guessing sample #2.
If I wasn't sitting on my couch watching you, I would not have a good teacher !😮
Fascinating, absolutely fascinating. Great video, Jeff.

Mint Chocolate Chip yeeeessssss... I'm seriously claustrophobic...you two are brave:)

Awesome mine tour! Would’ve been a bad day at the mine when that gigantic rock cleaved off and hit bottom of ore shoot.
I know...right
Jeff, I wish I had the cajones you have to explore the old mines. I know where there are a bunch of abandoned mines in NorCal.

Great video! Question: why did they go alone the fault’s strike? Why not continue down its dip as well?
LET’S GOOO!
Love it!!
they did ....down to 400 feet ...the vein splits by a moving fault
I reckon sample one was the one with the shiny! Not a bad turnout for just one bag!
I did a mold remediation today that started out at 80 sq ft of drywall and fiberglass insulation. Ended up being half the basement, floor to ceiling. 100 ln ft of framing removed too. Ground water. No gutters on the house. .
wow
Thanks for the video
Excellent video friend good place to search gold friend greetings from Colombia
Good to see You 2 out ah-venturing,
For some reason I'm thinking #3...

no we have not but plan on it
That guy is so lucky! Could you imagine that!!? Your out prospecting and you run into the Legendary Jeff Williams!! Man, that guy had no clue he was is the presence of Greatness!
He is one lucky dude!🏆🏆🏆
Great Video!🏆🏆🏆
P.S. came from your 1st sample 🏅
I met Bob years ago while mining with some friends in Utah, and worked on his septarian nodule claims in Utah. I feel lucky to know Bob and Kris (his wife) honestly. I'm sure Jeff feels the same. They are amazing people.
thanks
yep they are good people .... had a lot of fun showing them around the mine
Hey Jeff, great video and tour of the abandoned mine, you always have something interesting to teach and I appreciate it! 👍 That bus sized rock in that mine blew my pants off...lol Regarding the rock samples at the end, I would say that Sample #1 had the gold in it... Happy Easter 🐣🐰
thanks ...Happy Easter
A lot of nice flowers there.
Great video as always. Happy Easter Everyone!
Thanks! You too!
Turkey hill peanutbutter ripple, normally at food lion, best icecream I've had in a lil while been my favorite for the past 2 weeks
great videos even parts where risky my favorite mint
👏🏼 Great video, Jeff! 🙌🏼 Every month, I'm getting closer and closer to getting out there to check you out. 💪🏼 Might as well since retirement from the military has got me on the couch 😅. Keep up the hard work! 🔥 I also became a Patreon member last night.
thanks and will do Bobalu
Good job Derrick! Thank you for your service, SIR. Take your old school determination and put it towards your passions like gold prospecting. Jeff has some great knowledge and programs.
@@wilsonrawlin8547 Thank you. I definitely need to get in contact will Jeff once I make a commitment.
Thank you excellent video and info on geology.
Just found your channel! Really cool share, thanks! Cheerz!
welcome aboard
That explains why you explorers find pants in the old gold mines because they wore shorts while they worked down there. The mystery has been solved 😂🤪. A bucket would have been better when getting that fault gauge sample,,, just saying. The miners didn’t have the advance technology we have today,, so they couldn’t get it all like we can go in today and do. Your wife is very brave. I commend her. Blue moon is my favorite ice cream with red velvet cake.! Thanks for another great video.
yes she is ....thanks
Looks like floor samples would be worth checking.
Hills Brothers coffee ice cream with whole beans! Crunchy! 😂👍
Slim told me mine #1, but he's knowd fer telling stories outa school!
Jeff I am busy finding gold in bitcoin. I know its not the same as your gold, but it fine for people who have bad backs like myself. Keep on keeping on. We all make our money in our own way. By the way, I believe that the gold came from the mine that went down 400 feet. Why would they knock themselves out in such a way unless it payed out so much per ton.
Thank You Jeff W. ⛏
😃👍💖
always my pleasure
I believe when you filmed the down tunnel (when you said 100 ft of rope is not enough), on your left side there was a facing of a golden nugget showing on the wall . Rewind it and look at it. Hope I’m right. Ji ji
So if fualt gouge is typically soft, that must be why poppies at the surface grow in them it's a type of structure.
And YEA! I HIT the dam LIKE button !!!!!🤣🤪🤪 Great video Jeff and Lila. 👍👍💤
thanks .....now smash it again ...Harder !!!!! Lol
could have sworn I saw a nugget at the 11:12 min. mark as you lowered the camera. the good stuff came from inside the mine at the 7:24 min mark
Awesome video mate👏👏👏
Thanks 👍
