- What does natural raw gold look like in rocks? What does gold ore really look like? In this video you will learn about gold bearing rock identification. You will see lots of high grade gold ore, but also some more moderate grades of ore. I will show ores that are both easy to see the gold and ones that are more difficult.
For those who want to learn more about Prospecting and finding gold check out my book, Fists full of Gold. It’s an encyclopedia of everything on the topic of prospecting. It’s available on Amazon. (Affiliate) You can find it at:

Here are a few videos I have done about hard rock gold ores:
• Identifying gold ores:...
![Oscar Maydon x Junior H - Volver Al Futuro [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sa52xabMSB8/mqdefault.jpg)
I worked as a haul truck driver for Cortez Gold Mines in Crescent Valley, Nevada. Our shovels,electric powered, scooped 76 tons in one scoop. The smallest haul trucks were 240 tons. We had 240 ton,300 ton and 400 ton trucks. That's the load they carried. Those trucks run 24 hours a day,7 days a week. That's a lot of material being moved. There is a LOT of overburden to remove to get to the gold ore. They produced,on average, 76,000 ounces of gold a month from a big deposit. The ore contained microscopic gold. When I was there,from 2003 til 2005, gold was around 400 dollars an ounce. We were awarded gold,from 10grams to 1/2 ounce to 1 ounce coins for safety bonuses. Don't know if they do that now. At any rate, Barrick Goldstrike Mines bought out Cortez. Just a little info from me. Sorry for dragging on.
Great info, thanks. I am in Northern Nevada and around a number of gold mines over the years. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@ChrisRalph I lived in Carlin. About half way between Elko and Battle Mountain. I did enjoy it. Thank you.
gosh dang 400 an ounce then. its 2000 now lol
I was at Cortez 87 I think contractor out of Elko 90 miles one way to work Long Day's
Pretty interesting to those of us who haven't been anywhere around that sort of stuff. I drove a truck loaded with newspapers, and 14 tons was my max load, so your input seems pretty exciting to me.
The story is told about a miner who struck gold and carried his bag of nuggets with him everywhere. One day he died and went to heaven, still carrying his precious nuggets. When he arrived, an angel asked him why he was carrying asphalt. “This isn’t asphalt,” he explained, “it’s gold.” To which the angel replied, “On earth it’s called gold, but here in heaven we use it to pave our streets.”
The Lord owns the cattle on a thousand hills. And the gold in a thousand creeks. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hard to believe this joke made me laugh. Tried not to even . Good one thanks.
"GOOD ONE"👏
nice😃
Is it gold or diamond ?
I didn't expect to watch all 40 minutes continually but I could not stop watching. Thank you for the information. Very well done video.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I too found myself unable to stop watching & learning about it.
"Dinner will be kate tonight!"😉
That was great!! The bit where your missus came in was hilarious. Shows you are a decent bloke willing to share your life and knowledge. Thanks mate. 👍👍
An older video with an oops! Though I had taken care of it but Oh well.

You are an excellent speaker, comparable to the best university lecturers I have had. Your voice is also familiar, are you on pbs? Antiques roadshow? Ask this old house?
Ok I should delete what's above because I figured it out, you kind of sound like Neil Degrasse Tyson.
Great Video thank you
I was very fortunate to be able to buy two small rocks with gold in them. Beautiful quartz rocks with gold vein running through them.
Sounds like two beautiful specimens. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Another fine video Chris. Thanks for taking the time to teach the rest of us. Great book too.
Few year's ago I was gold hunting in the high desert of California by tehachapi and found a old solid gold tooth. Great video
I'm sure that was a surprising find. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for this video. I watch a lot of mine exploring videos, in fact I watched a tour of the 16-1 mine yesterday and always wondered about what it looked liked when the miners see it in the ground.
I have been in the 16 to 1 three times and found gold with a metal detector there. Thank you for your comments. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Fantastic video - thank you very much for taking the effort. Also, I always keep the valuing simple, forget ounces, gold is $60/gram. Makes it so much easier. I have a kilogram of gold! $60,000 - and me move on :)
I’ve found four meteorites
WOW. Best vid I've seen on this subject. I've lived in Tucson for 50yrs and have been an avid hunter and fisherman. I know Southern and central Az, as well if not better than most alive today. Its just been recently that I've started having an interest in gold because of you tube. After watching this vid I should have gotten interested in gold sooner as I'm certain I've chucked some quartz that had gold in it back down because it had pyrite as well and I thought gold and pyrite didnt come together like that. I saw pyrite for sure so I figured the other gold there was also pyrite and chucked back down. Thanks for this vid. I learned a lot!
Some pyrite contains tiny specks of gold. But not all. Some pyrite in quartz has little or no gold. It just depends on the deposit.
@@ChrisRalph I understand but what I was saying was I was under the impression that gold and pyrite were never together cuz thats what my dad had told me. I've found rocks, quartz, that had obvious pyrite in them but also gold substance that didnt have the crystalin shape of pyrite and I assumed it couldnt be gold because of what my dad had told me. After seeing the pyrite gold mixed samples you showed I'm certain I chucked gold back down on the ground. I will be more careful and educated in the future thanks to you. I know there is gold in areas I hunt in here in Az and now I've got a reason to get out in the desert when it isnt hunting season.
Sounds like you've got it, & there ain't no cure.
That was nice of both of you to understand you was in a project ,and would give her full attention to her later. Then she understood. Now that's true gold. You both truly love eachother...
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for showing specimens in their raw state/ore. This is very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing maybe I have found here like that kind of rocks thank you and God bless
Love the conversation with your Wife. Perfect.
yep. Not really intended that way.
Excellent video, this is exactly what i was looking for after getting hooked on watching old mining videos etc... very nice!
I am glad you enjoyed the video.
I love how you ask the question people don't know to ask and answer the questions with clarity great videos and information.
I have an idea of things people are interested in. Glad this video was helpful!
Thanks I enjoyed listening to you talk and the way you are detail oriented and specific most RUclips channels are often hard to follow or confusing ...leavening out pertinent information and talking too fast . Thanks keep em coming ...👍
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Exactly, gold ore identification with a metal detector is the new way to mine. Thanks for the informative video. I was looking for some Black Hills green schist. - Doug
So many hundreds of mining districts in just the US alone - just cant include everything. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hold on green mica is gold brearing? I just saved a green schist Boulder with yellow ore in it
Thank you Chris for your insights into gold. I have come across a few of these samples that you talked about in my lifetime. Maybe I should revisit those areas. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@ChrisRalph I live in Australia grew up in Mt Isa but live on the coast now. There are many places that can prospected for such deposits. Here is one link
raregoldnuggets.com/?p=529
Chris, thank you for showing us all that high grade gold ore...it's a special treat because most of that material went thru the mill and was turned into gold bars.
Not all of it. Some was sold directly as specimens.
You are awesome at describing how the gold settles! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Glad it was helpful.
Very enjoyable audio program , am buying this book , well explained thank you.
Glad to hear you liked it.
Beautiful pieces displayed and explained very well of type and origin
@@ChrisRalph hi
@@ChrisRalph i want a book who guide me mountian with gold and gemstone can i get it sire
Hey Chris. I would like to personally thank you for the knowledge you have shared. I’ve been able to use your videos to identify some beautiful gold, and If everything pans out… it may very well be a life changing discovery. Wish me luck and thank you again! 🎉
Best of luck to you and I wish you much success.
Hello dear do you deal in Gold?
great information!
looking forward to your video on the silver ore!
thanks!
👍
If you are interested in Silver, there is a SILVER BELL MINE for sale, $18000 in Canada, BC, check on www.juniorminers.com, and press on MINING CLAIMS FOR SALE, there are a lot of placer and mines for sale. Just do it. Happy New Year 2021 !!!!! I am interested too.
This was such a great video! Very pleased to discover it in my suggestions. Totally informative, easy to understand, thank-you for your time and for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for the kind words.
Thank you! That was such an interesting video about identifying gold in ore. I sat here with my magnifying glass. Very nice, thanks again. 😀
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Thank you so much! This video is awesome and perfectly done!! Love it!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
i spent several years in northern california and was always fascinated with the geology of the place. thnx for the discussion.
Glad you enjoyed it! You should watch my video on where to find gold in Northern California
Thanks for taking the time to put this up here.
My pleasure! glad you enjoyed the video.
Good presentation on the southern gold fields. I'd like to see something like this covering the ores of the pacific northwest.
While ther is some variation, the quartz veins look similar.
That's what's up!!
Crohkor Threetoes me too
Beautiful specimens, thanks for the video...!
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Really liked this video. I will be looking at rocks much more carefully now. Great video and very informational and easy to follow. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Such a wonderful video . Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
I went up to Virginia City yesterday hoping to find one of those gold finds you showed. I checked the tailings off the lower-grade road (the one that doesn’t go through Gold Hill/Silver City). I found an old car jack and a half bucket of rocks that have traces of quartz. I’ll keep looking for the gold. Thanks for the tip.
Glad you liked the video. I've found some decent gold-silver specimens there. Check out my video on recognizing silver ores for some nice examples of Virginia City ores.
Chris Ralph, Professional Prospector I will. Thank you.
I'm gonna need that jack and bucket o' Rocks back bro
Bust up the rocks get down in cracks
Thanks very much for sharing this info with us!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
The specimen you showed at 17 minutes and 25 seconds I have thousands of tons of that material on my property and there's gold here too and copper and bismuth and tellurium ... Learning what the different or types look like is very helpful thank you
Hope it works out well for you.
Thank you Mr Ralph, very informative. I look forward to getting your book in February! A little bird informed me it's going to be a birthday gift! 😎
Thanks for the kind words. Don't worry if there is a delay with the book. Amazon is going to run out of copies for about a week or two. I've sold more than expected and I wont be able to re-supply my distributor until mid-February. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Very comprehensive and thoughtful. Thank you. :)
Glad you enjoyed the video.
I have always enjoyed rock and mineral collecting...even as a little kid many years ago. Thanks for posting this informative and interesting video. Your enjoyment of the subject is evident.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi Chris, this is the second time I have watched your presentation. I have learnt a lot more on this second viewing. It's taken me almost 15 years on but more often off panning and then detecting to find a bit over 30 grams of gold. I have it locked in a small safe but have lost the keys. Australia, Cheers.
I'm sorry to hear that and I hope you find your keys!
Thanks for a great vid. From a part-time prospector in New Zealand.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll be coming out with a similar video on raw Silver and silver ores soon. Probably not too long after that, I'll do one on platinum too.
I did enjoy this video extremely. Your presentation was awesome, lots of samples and you explain each one uniquely . Rock on!👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic video, wonderful to hear the history and story with each piece. Thank you #thefinders 😁
I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for this video ♥️. I was looking for this kind of video for a long time.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for this very informative video. I never knew that gold came in so many different forms. This video will be of tremendous help next time we are out prospecting. We love going out metal detecting or panning gold but we are total amateurs so any help is appreciated. Good hunting.
Stay tuned, lots to learn and lots more to come in the future. Best Wishes.
Hi I’m trying to tell if the orange color in rock under a black is gold
Thanks for sharing. Specimens were fun to look at. I can tell you where the gold is.
Go and dig that gold! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
The very best ever, I have LESSION to as well as have seenshown.The many selections "( types) of Gold" that many have passed over because feeling it's a nugget or diamond shaped cluster .(When their are many types of gold to be found. Best class ever. You should be a Professor . ( I still believe " fools gold " is gold" becoming" real gold).Thank you. Just wonderful !
Thanks for the kind words!
I'm actually new to this channel and I am going to be subscribing and looking forward to more videos from this guy, because of the details contained within this video. Very nice video
Awesome, thank you! More videos to come.
Excellent video. Very informative and educational. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
very informative! Answered many questions for me, Thank you so much. I found a heavy iron/copper ore in southern california about the size of my fist. I know now its probably Gossin gold ore With some visable gold/ pyrite or both along with copper as well. new to this so hoping im right.
sounds like interesting ore..... Glad you enjoyed the video.
This is all so interesting to me, Thank you for producing this video, I am subscribing.
Glad you liked it, I will shortly be out with a similar video on raw silver and silver ores.
@@ChrisRalph 👍
You have taught me so much and I've only known this Chanel for a couple days now thanks for making videos that people like me can understand
Happy to help and You are so welcome!
Very good video 👍👍 thank you!
I found so much gold just hiking and walking trails Backcountry with railing here in Tucson Arizona. I think I'm going to make a Channel with all the stuff I find. Metal detecting is absolutely fun and you're absolutely right it is very profitable and a great Hobby I'm learning so much daily
Have fun out there! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I would like to talk with you if possible. I live in Sahuarita, Az. How can I reach you?
What is backcountry with railing?
I had a young fellow from England working for me at northern Alberta we burnt a big barn down that had big rocks for a foundation .one rock split up from the heat and you could see gold in it He got gold feaver and was trying to look for more rocks I had to pull him away when he was getting on the plane to go home his suitcases weigh a ton .he had put most of the big rock in them
That's the problem with carrying home rocks!
Thank you Chris that was a great video. Can't wait for the summer to get here so I can take my weekend trips to the mountains in eastern Pennsylvania and pan the streams and creeks that I usually hike along. And now I have an idea what some ore rocks look like.
Best of luck to you.
Great job Chris. Love your magazine.
Thanks so much! More videos to come.
Sir, you are a very talented teacher. Keep the videos coming! I'm definitely interested in the details you explain. Wish I could be right there!

Great job on the video !!!!!
Just watched your diamond vid...great. Thanks for the lessons.
Very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Fantastic video!! Every minute was “golden” !! You are so knowledgeable, and speak so eloquently! I also loved how you thoroughly described each of the many specimen slides you showed - taking it beyond the general makeup to include how the specimen was formed, value, where and how it was found, etc. I even loved how nicely you handled the phone call **smiles** I’m in North Texas - we find lots of quartz and iron here when hunting for dinosaur and shark teeth, and I thought I saw tiny pieces of gold in the same gravel.. I decided to turn to RUclips for information (because I came here knowing NOTHING about gold!!), and so happy that your video was at the top of search!! Have you done any prospecting for gold in North Texas? Thank you again for sharing, and I look forward to hearing back from you! Best wishes!
I've not prospected in Texas. Not much gold in Texas. There is some gold in the Llano river.
Gold ore breaking the surface in the area I live ranges from tellurides to quartz bearing rock to ironstone bearing rock. Where there's nuggets always look for a source either from a reef or ancient river bed ( deep lead). Some deep leads are easy to distinguish from surrounding bedrock, others are from pipe clay / calcrete. Western Australia where I live, work has many gold mines both surface and underground, geologically it's a very mixed bag of rock structure due to massive upheavals millions of years ago. Where you find gold, you'll also have silver, platinum, copper, zinc, nickel, arsenic in some metals and sulphide derivatives.
I spent 6 weeks digging gold in the outback of WA several years ago. You know they have deep leads in the gold country of California too.
I really enjoyed the video. In particular I liked the fact that you are so knowledgeable, easy to understand, and easy to listen to. You should have been a broadcaster! Lol.
Thanks for putting this info out there. I've always had a passing interest in prospecting, but never took it up. Maybe now that I'm retired. It's a fascinating subject, and apparently one that takes years to get a true handle on. So, your video is a big help for anyone getting started. New subscriber. Peace!
Thanks for the kind words, Yep, prospecting is a great things for retired folks, because you get out and do a lot of walking. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@ChrisRalph You're quite welcome. I like your presentation style. Good prospecting!
Great job laying it out for us weekend explorer type.
glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing rocks, grreat sharing
Thanks for visiting. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you, that was an education, I have never found gold before but after watching this I just might have but didn't recognise it. But I am going to revisit a stream where I found clumps of Iron pyrite that weighed more than a pound. It was embedded in the bank of a stream in a sandy placer type deposit. I will look much more closely to see what else I can pull out of it. The area is glacial deposits.
Sounds interesting.
Thank you sir Chris
I also find iron pyrite like a shape of ( .5 to 1 inch)quarts in a small cave in an igneous rock is there any chances of real gold.
Thank you so much for this brilliant video. I will now go looking for gold in the Dominican Republic.
Good luck, and I hope you are successful.
@@ChrisRalph Thanks Chris. I use metal diviners and muscle testing to find things. I have three stones that muscle testing shows they contain gold. Now going to ask my friend with a metal detector to check out the land where i found the small stones which I need to break down. Ill let you know if we find a gold vein.
Love the video n I appreciate learning about Gold! Thank you 😊
You are so welcome! glad you enjoyed the video.
What a beautifully presented video. Thank you for explaining so clearly the possibilities of quartz. I am finding some quite large pieces on my land with silver bits and possibly gold bits and iron and maybe copper. I have a lot of research to do but at least now I understand what might be present. Will be getting some pieces analyzed.
Get some pieces tested, but remember that quartz is very common and gold is very rare. There is loads of quartz that has no gold.
It is my dream to have land with gold deposits on it, even if it was flour gold in a creek to pan. Hard rock would be even cooler.
As a Driller that cores rock Everyday .... It's entrapped in the quartz and granite rock from what I have found ... . You can find a lot of it while Coring rock it's like reading a story book . Pretty cool .
"Hi My Dear," that was Sweet
We've been married 40 years.....
You are an awesome teacher! Thank you for this. Subscribed!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Great video I look forward to reading your Book.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for the fine presentation. Makes me want to go up in the mountains with my metal detector!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I was just thinking the same thing!
I'm happy i watched this. I'm looking into ways to start looking for gold, i've panned a few pans in local area rivers, and found exactly 1 single flake about the size of a pin head. Utah isn't really known for its gold.
yes. Utah isn't really known for its gold.
Tip- try find a place where there was once upon a time a gold mine, go down stream and find the biggest bend in a meander that you can, walk 1m onto the inner bank (if you imagined it as a V shape of the river bend, it's the land inside that V), dig a whole 1-3m deep and pan through whatever you can, this is where a large amount of deposition takes place, Goodluck!
Great show. Last time I was in Carson City, Nevada the nugget casino had a great display of different types of gold. The leaf gold reminded me of Canadian bacon. Yup!
You've not been in Carson city for a long time. The casino sold off that display a decade ago. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@ChrisRalph I think I found we gold
Amazing presentation, thank you! 😃🙏💓
You are so welcome.
Hats o fr f to you my friend. Wonderfull presentation. Thank you
Thank you kindly. I have lots of other videos too.
I shake my head thinking of all the gold I've walked over fishin Montana without this knowledge.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Oh yeah
I bought your book @ the end of the video & thoroughly enjoyed this video! It was so informative!!! I can’t believe how many pieces containing Gold ore I’ve seen & tossed out before seeing this video!!! Can’t wait to start digging again! THANK YOU!!! I’ll hopefully be able to pay off my house & land with many rocks that contain gold that I can now recognize from now on!!! Come up to Montana & dig with me!!! 😄👍🏼
Best of luck to you in your prospecting.
Thankyou Sir for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Cool video,looking for stuff like that in Arizona all the time😮
Come up north one of these days and Ill show you where the thumbnail specimen came from.
That's really nice thank you. I bought a white 24K off of that McCullough guy he said you were really nice he met you. If you get a chance please check us out we have a couple of videos on that machine and really good dry washing videos 😁
are you are gold and daimond provisional mr let me know
I have some stones of such kind, one may be weighing 40 kg, but it is yellowish quarts. But looks beautiful. I have collected many such nature's treasure...stone.
congratulations on your finds.

I've found gold in an area where it's rare. It was a vein through a Quartz rock about 3" and it had a melted type look/luster
Sounds great. Best of luck to you in your explorations.
I am in Virginia and I rock hound the railway and I have found gold and silver I think . It isn't often and normally when u find it it's a cluster in a small area
It's leaf like silver and gold
I found a very quartz-rich area with a lot of quartz rocks (in Southern California) that look very similar to the ones in this video. Found a lot of other rocks nearby that have flaky goldish powder attached to them. My hunch is it's just mica and not actual gold powder. You'll find gold looking flakes on it but when you touch it - it crumbles into goldish powder..
Doesn't sound like it but just from your description, its hard to tell. Watch this video and learn how to identify minerals for yourself: ruclips.net/video/MpkW58ZeQlc/видео.html
Sample. Assay learn. If your really want to know.
Gold with a very small amount of Lead in it will sometime look and act like that. A jeweler friend demonstrated it to me way back in the 1980s.
What part of Southern cali?
@@stevenstevenson3 gee it's been a while. I want to say it was on the 2 (Angeles Crest) or near Wrightwood, CA.
This was really interesting, Thank You. As gold in not something found in my area of the country, it was interesting to see the varying examples ...many I would not have expected at all to hold gold. Great Video, Thank You!
Thanks for commenting my brother Ralph. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I thought gold was something you'd never find in the midwest, but it IS here, you just have to know where to look!
Nice Video Chris, Learned a few things from it...Thanks for doing this.
Coming up soon is a video on working black sand. I am going to give myself the test of working your black sand sample and getting at least 0.25 grams out of it. I'll also do some concentrates I have from dry washing that will be much, much easier. I'm going to give you a shout out and recommendation on that video.
Sounds good Chris, looking forward to it.
Carlin Ore, it is my Experience after acquiring said Ore that the Gold is the Mustard Color on the Rock, and yes, there does appear to be a lot, but you need to remember that gold can be flattened down to an Atom Thick and One Troy Oz. can make a Sheet of Gold that is 300 Square Feet.
The Carlin type gold is almost never visible to the eye, but can be seen under magnification. It assays the same as other ores and the concentrations can be measured in the same way. The value of these deposits is that they can be gigantic in size and carry millions of ounces of gold.
how do you know that
As a dental lab tech, we were taught that gold is so malable that the Egyptians had a method to make a sheet of gold so thin, you could read a news paper through it. Also with just one ounce of gold, a wire could be made from it that would be so thin, that it could reach the moon. It is also the finest source of metal for springs. They never develop a memory. In fact the satelites and missiles have gold springs. Also gold does not tarnish. Unless mercury gets on it. But that has always confused me after reading about mercury being used in processing gold ore. Anyway, just a few interesting things about gold. At that time, when I was a lab tech,(Long ago) we were told that of all the gold ever mined, would make a 1ft. by 1ft strip that would would span the length of a ft ball field. (300 ft.) Anyway, that is what we were told and read in our books.
