      Pretty sure he didn't want to talk about religion. To each thier own. I don't care what anyone does or what they believe in, but I can't help but kinda take issue when a person is basically telling someone else that their religion doesn't make sense at the same time as telling them how their own religion does make sense, especially when all the 1st person was just basically wishing a separate person that they will be well and that their God will be kinda looking after them. (That's how I see it anyways.)
      Personally, I don't really believe in "God" exactly. I believe that there is A LOT that we don't understand. And also who knows what people back then exactly were referring to when they refer to "God". I don't want to say it's aliens.... but... it's aliens..... kidding.... maybe.... I also tend to believe that both the Bible and the Quran were written by people.... and people..... well, they can suck. I think it'd be a very hard temptation to resist for anyone writing the literal handbook that would guide a whole religion of people, to not write at least some things in the book in a way that would be more in line in a way that the writer would think he get some benefit or political purpose. A good example is how some parts could get, uh, removed. Tell the whole thing, ya know? I also think that people can deliberately misinterpret the texts is ways that better suit thier agenda. Because organized religion is probably the greatest form of control over people. Undeniable. I also think it's Undeniable that as society drifts further away from religion, the worse off things are. Except in the middle east, the shit is ALWAYS hitting the fan over there. What's with that? Am I an infidel? What do you do with infidels? Hmm, which religion doesn't make sense?
      Thought exercise, can you imagine what would happen if a person like David Copperfield or some other naturally skilled magician were alive back then? You think that a person like that wouldn't be called a God? Or worship him or something?
      Anyways, I do believe that there is some kind of energy within us, (soul? Maybe.), and that maybe that energy within us casts an aura that some people can see or sense. And that something happens with that energy when we die. I just personally don't really think that there is some all controlling being that essentially relegates us to being his "ant farm." I just like to think of us as more than a hobby for a all knowing, all powerful, all controlling Supreme being. But who knows?
      See? It kinda sucks when someone just start talking about things you weren't really talking about and kinda wondering if your religion change may not have been..... anyways. I don't care what other people do or believe in, but when the 1st guy is just withing someone we'll and saying Jesus will keep him safe (or whatever), maybe just take that for the kind hearted gesture that it was, realize that is getting more rare these days, and not take it as an invitation to try and convert someone. You converted? Cool. Good for you. Maybe not everyone wants to hear about how thier religion doesn't make sense and that's why you converted.

    Super video! You make a good point about not getting hung up on one spot. I found float which lead to a 4 foot wide vein on my claim! Havent explored enough to determine mineral content though, but there is micro placer gold in the area, and it is quite coarse. Lots of ugly quartz in smaller veins, very red quartz along with a soft red mica, and flaky black mica, and some fine grained grey/silver mineralization all in the same sample. Wish I had a crusher!

      It's wild stumbling across test pits and whatnot out in the boonies, I haven't personally come across any old mines just yet (I did find what looked like a portal with a rock pile nearby on tunnel drive, but didn't enter it because it could've been a lion or bear den and the area is notoriously crumbly) tons of test pits just out of town though. While I don't usually find mines or paystreaks often, I do love looking at my boots after a long hike and being able to spot a flake or two of gold stuck on them.

    That's really cool to see you find visible gold in western Washington. I've spent a lot of time in the hills and mountains in Washington and I walk past many quartz veins. I'm not always looking for gold, bu when I am, it's hard to stop and believe that one of them might actually have visible gold in it, especially when I go by so many that must be barren. It helps to have a lead like you did, but I'll have to be more thorough in my examination in the future.

    Man... That's so awesome. I can only imagine how great it must feel to find gold in situ like that. I live in SW Washington, so it looks like I need to head up north a little bit and try and find some of those good areas like that to look around and maybe even do some panning as well. I just don't know where to even begin. You've done a great job at helping to give some direction though, so I genuinely appreciate that. Thank you Sir. 🙏

    Another thing I noticed is that you are not using a metal detector, Why not use technology, since we now have it ?
    I like your perseverance, but why hunt in total darkness like the 49ers when you can use a metal detector and take home
    500 times the gold every day ?? I follow one girls you tube videos, and she finds huge gold nuggets all the time. What is your problem ? Are you afraid of technology ?, Or, do you feel it shames the old timers by using a metal detector ? They would have used them if they had them, believe me, they weren't stupid. They sure could have used the metal detectors, it's too bad they just didn't have them back then. If you go get yourself a light weight metal detector, you'll never regret it. Just make sure you get one that can discriminate
    between different metals, then you can start filling up your bank account fast. Seriously.

      USGS divided the entire country into a grid. Used to be each county has paper maps of the grids around them with all the claims set out; dunno if they ever digitised. So take GPS coords, figure out what county you are in, and then go find the mines department to get the maps of the area.

      Do you know how to read surficial geology maps? I would look through your local government's surficial geology map and go from there. Keep an eye out for ice direction indicators on the map and in the field. Look for recent alluvial deposits on the map and glacial-fluvial deposits. Other features to look at on those maps are basal till (commonly called veneer till) and ablation till (especially terminal moraines).

      I know i'm not Jason , but reading your comment , those different layers of quartz solution would have been deposited at different time periods , possibly separated by hundreds if not thousands of years , and the foot wall deposit was probably a richer event , anyway i love his vids i've learned a lot for that reason i keep watching , cheers mate .

      @@realestdaddymac5974 Gold really isn't that common, but it is easy to overlook if you don't know what you're looking for. I feel like folks tend to think it's only available deep in some mountain or whatever, when the fact of the matter is that you can find it in a stream, sometimes your own backyard (but I wouldn't dig too deep... you'll have sewage line issues). Gold also isn't the only valuable thing to be found. Things like Amethyst, Ruby, Emerald, and other precious gems can be found just by sifting through dirt in a river, especially if it comes through a mountain.
      I mean, I remember taking a trip to Chattanooga TN, doing a bit of panning and found all sorts of precious gems. I didn't need the money or anything so I donated them to my local school's Earth Science teacher because he didn't actually have raw samples of them.

I don't know how you carried all that gear up with you , and then carried more back down . I once found about a fifty pound hunk of float quartz up a mountain creek and got it home with me , i was a bit younger then , lol , still got it , looked nice in the garden , no gold unfortunately , probably higher up i might have found where it come from but it was on private land and didn't want to get shot , anyway great vid Jason , that's how the old timers did it , they were tough as nails , cheers , Ned .
