    With 31.1 grams per Troy ounce, and an ounce of gold currently going for $2000... that 1 gram vial of gold is worth approx. $64. ⛏😎👍🏻 P.S. You’ve really stepped up your game with this video. With the drone footage, the editing, the background music, and the information texts that occasionally popped up during the video... Good job, J! I’m almost ready to book my travel plans to AZ in late September. Three days in Grand Canyon and Sedona, and a week in Prescott and it’s surrounding areas. Can’t wait!

    Love Prescott!! I have been fortunate to been here on vacation from Sweden 5 times. Prescott is the perfect city. Not to big and not to small. Nice people and beautiful nature close by. Must be the perfect place to to retire in. Love Prescott and Arizona.

    I have a lot of favorite places in Arizona. Prescott is on top of that list. Just a beautiful area. Not too crowded, yet has culture and plenty to do and see. Safe as well.

    This has got to be one of your best videos to date. The camera was steady, watching your dad was very interesting and entertaining, even though he didn’t speak much I wish he had. The knowledge he has of mining was quite educational and entertaining. It’s great when you’re on the ground instead of just cruising in your Jeep. We get to see more and the interaction is better. The camera scene going into the bar was hella good. Good cameraman. You better keep him! Good job Jeff and I’m assuming Ben was the videographer. Hella job. Loved the music and how it was in sync with the different locations. Great job and you should take your dad with you more often.

    Reminds me of the good ole days when I was part owner of a gold claim on Lynx creek just south of Prescott. Spent tons of money on equipment, beer and camping supplies, but still have the gold, probably worth about 10 bucks. Gold fever probably took over some trips but it was always enjoyable time sitting in a creek, drinking beer and playing in the dirt.

    Been in Casa Grande AZ 6 months and the only place I've traveled to is work in Phx and dmv in Tuscon. It's hot and covid bites. Can't wait to go explore my new state and learn about the abundant cultures, scorpions and all. Oh and this heat killed my roses but I will not be defeated, I will buy shade and misters she says with her head high hands on her hips, in scorching 118 degree heat. I will wait till October like I was told in May. Gotta love this place. Great videos, inspiring

    Good video, you should have gone about 1 1/2 miles down from the lake to look for gold. I use to live there on the creek at the age of 16 until about 8 years ago. You can take the Old Black Canyon Freeway (on the left if coming from Phx.) there's a Hotel on the corner (left side) next to the road, follow it down until the first road on the right and turn there and go about a 1/2 mile and the creek is on the left. Good Luck !!

    100,000 ounces of gold have been taken from Lynx Creek, Arizona area since in 1863. Gold today is worth $1,985.80 an ounce. $1,985.80 * 100,000 = $198,580,000.00 😲

    Prescott is beautiful and a place I think I would enjoy. Life seems slower and a bit old fashioned in a good way, although I do enjoy the modern life as well. Old school seems safer, happier, a bit easier to smile. My only thing is the snow as I will need to work a several years more. How much snow does Prescott get a year and is it a problem for ones who need to drive 5 days a week. I am a school teacher. Thanks!

It has a much better ring to it than "I live in Snowflake." There are listings in Kirkland and it's around 4000', so it shouldn't get cold like Prescott (or Snowflake). I just wonder what's there.
      I've enjoyed your videos since I lived in San Diego--and KUSI still calls "us" Zonies. Nobody seems to know that out here. It was an unpleasant surprise that there is no antenna TV out here. I didn't know such places still exist. If I have a complaint, besides being colder than I thought, is that everything is in PHX, even used cars and everything on Craigslist, and no Costco!!!
