Went out searching for Lode Gold and found a very nice deposit in some Tertiary volcanics. We wanted to show you guys what to look for when hunting these types of deposits and how you can use a Gold bug 2 metal detector or a Flacon MD 20 to help locate that tiny Lode Gold. If you have experiences chasing Lode Gold ( Hard Rock ) then we would love to hear them so leave a comment below and if you love to learn more about Geology and how to use it to find Gold then just watch this video ruclips.net/video/YrwR6uY_NeI/видео.html and smash that like button ....smash it HARD !!!!!
Undisputedly, Jeff is the best! Educated Geologist (rock hound). There is no substitute for formal education! 1.) Formal education. 2.) Social education. 3.) Actual experience. If Jeff is not the best, he takes second place to none! Jeff and Lila are striking it rich! When I get big, I want to be just like him! Thanks for the video.
Jeff, you are a great teacher. Thanks for sharing all your hard earned knowledge. I have learned so much from you over the years. Please keep em coming.
The craziest part of all of this is that only a handful of people will actually go out and apply what he's saying. This is by far the closest and practically the only video that I've actually been able to relate to while in the fields metal detecting. I will tell you that everything he's trying to tell you is absolutely true and accurate. It takes effort not only in the fields, but research comes first. Jeff, amazing video.
Great field lesson. Your approach to informing everyone about the geology of an area is bar non the best. I am developing a new passion to learn more about geology. Thank you very much Jeff.
@@Askjeffwilliams No thank you and your wife for keeping the dream alive and taking time out of your lives to share with me and my family. I have learned so much and you are appreciated!
i find a lot of natural black chalcedony. always wondered if it relates to gold. , be out on 11/11. you know what to say. have a good day. 👍👍👍👍👍 awesome sauce boss
Love the geology vids. Always learn something new. Falcon MD-20 is an amazing tool. I have mine strapped to 3ft piece of PVC. Sure beats moving around on your hand and knees. :) Admittedly, took me a while to understand the different noises the MD-20 makes. Also, seems like performance characteristics change over time even if you regularly calibrate it.
Legendary!!! More gold in Geo history than we think. Call me crazy but my theory is all gravel companies are just gold mines in disguise selling their tailings lol.❤
On the east side of Sacramento there's a gravel company that's been family owned for many years that's located in the old Folsom dredge field. Around Christmas each year they shut down for a week and give all their employees a week off with pay. The family gets together and pulls all the covers off the bottom of the conveyors and mines the dirt that's collected. Nobody knows how much gold they find, but it's enough to pay for a week off for everyone + the profit the family splits. Mom's driveway was made with aggregate from that gravel pit. There are tiny pieces of gold all through it.
@@LuckyBaldwin777 wow!! maybe they need a guy to sweep the floors😉 I guess I should open up a sand claim lol sell fish tank rocks and pan the dirty dirt😂❤️🔥
@@OUSurf2 They have probably 2 miles worth of conveyors and move a large amount of gravel and sand each year. The ground was dredged for 100 years until the 1960s when the price of the land was more than the gold in it. So dredging stopped and now a lot of the old dredge field has houses and strip malls on it. What the family is selling now is the dredge tailings. Mom's driveway was built the first year that gravel pit was open in '58. They didn't have long conveyors back then so maybe that's why there's tiny gold flakes in it. Maybe that's why they have such long conveyors lines there now -- to shake the gold out. The Home Depot sand that Jeff panned and got some gold out of might have come from that gravel pit. The real money in that hole is the sand and gravel. Has been for 60 years. The gold is just gravy. Is tough to survive on just gravy, so don't give up your day job.
I live in Las Vegas, NV. Towards Mt. Charleston near Red Rock to the left looks like a plug. Actually, it looks like there are 3 of them. Your videos are highly informative.
Thank you for another great video! If you ever make another going over how to check land status, please explain the difference between patented & unpatented claims & how to check the status on either for us amateurs 😁 Mike
Yeeeee Haaaaa.. Awesome information Jeff. You back from holidays and looking well my friend.. Went for a couple of days Gold Prospecting in Victoria and got a Gram of Aussie Gold.. The Minelab GPX 6000 with the Nugget Finder 12x7 coil makes the 6000 more quieter in mineralized ground. You definitely can run it on the highest manual settings and find the SMALLEST PIN SIZE GOLD NUGGETS.. Unbelievable results.. Cheers Tony ⛏️
TONY !!!!!! yes we are my brother , what an adventure that was..... we will have to get that set up for us ...thanks for the heads up and you know where we are going next huh
they say there is no gold where i am searching but they do not talk of the volcanic blow holes in the area. we found crystals in some of the material and the area was rumored to have been mined for gold.
Basic Geoloy the building blocks and key to success ☺️ you have to know your minerals and what they mean Iliving on the east coast in SC I look at the lay of land the fault lines where it's pushing up and folding under I've found most my success by learning my geology and minerals , I love this episode
Looks like most of the surrounding hills in the lower and mid deserts of arizona both plant and geology wise. Is there a better indicator than just volcanic fields most of Arizona and the southwest fit that the description it would appear most of these deposits are associated with the Mexican plate collision and rift, newer volcanic zones such as the san fansico volcanic field appear to have been less mineralized? In AZ copper is king now but silver was one of the drivers before that. AZ still seems to have a fair amount of gold but the big question was it the tendency for the deposits to form pocket that led to a quick strike boom bust investment or the lack of water that limited it more.
Have you done a video with just rock pictures and the explanation of the rock. With multiple examples. I really would like to see the rocks up close to be able to identify them.
Jeff this is absolute gold of a video! Do I need another browser opened looking up these terms, yes! Is it worth it, heck yes! You are the man! Thank you to you and your wife!
it is a great machine for finding undiscovered load veins ....we have seen a very rich vein in AZ that was 10 inches below the surface and had a average grade of 10 OPT Free Mill everywhere through the vein
Good day sir my pleasure meeting you again please sir I have gold dust to refined but I do not have chemical to refine It i think of sending it down to you to refined me from Nigeria sir🙏♥️
At 2:15 ,, that is not manganese oxide,, its gold-silver sulfide or oxide … grind that black thing, roast it with powdered coal,, and smelt it with copper as a collector after removing iron (if it is there)… you will be amazed
You're showing my dugged up veins. I feel so proud. 😂 If you noticed some of the veins were fresh, I dugged them 2 years ago. I still have 3 buckets sitting never crushed them, because tested few rocks, gave me no gold so I didn't bother to crush the rest. Some veins give an unnatural bright yellow color, and it's heavy in the pan, but not a gold or pyrite. Could the yellow stuff be highgrade uranium?
Jeff, geology aside, you said that Barrick Mining has claimed up these areas, but had released the claims. Barrick knows how to prospect, and produce, and at huge commercial scale. Wouldn't fact that they walked away from these claims suggest that whatever gold there is in this area not be profitable to mine (because they would be mining it if it was)? By extension, doesn't this pretty much extend to the entirety of the the southwest US? Miners big and small have been prospecting the Southwest extensively over the last 150 years, and have extracted, and are still extracting, large amounts of gold for the same period of time. Is there any worthwhile ground that hasn't been covered yet, and that could yield amounts of gold that make mining it financially worthwhile?
you would think so ...not sure why the walked away from it ....could be. alot of reasons ...some have to do with BLM .... yes we know of several spots that were recently discovered ( placer and Lode ) that are extremely rich and you may have seen the vids on YT . The Lode deposit was so rich they covered it back over in fear of claim jumpers mining it at night. We say the ore that was coming out of the shallow vein system and there is Gold running all through it ....much like the Dutchmans Gold sample
Im been trying to find out more info about the greaterville area in Arizona I hear it supposed to be a granite porphyry but Im not to sure what's that supposed to tell me
Jeff you're so close to me I wish I could come out and learn some more Hands-On training is the best for me I've been working on doing panning here near my house at the base of the San Bernardino mountains if you ever need a hand please let me know I would love to go out there. I will be going out near copper City and trying to do some sampling out there soon at New Year's I will be near Ludlow doing some also
