Hey Jeff !! Thanks for the real tall shout out !! Love that view too ! Yes, I'm drooling all over that Muddy Creek gold ! Some of my best finds come from fractured caliche mixed with coarse back sand and red clay. Nice chunky gold those old timers left behind. Good for Jay !! He's got a rich pile of shiny just waiting for him !! Real nice of Mike to bring out his machines too ! So, come on, let's go !!!! 🤠⛏⚒👍👍👍
you betcha Allan ..... if you look in the video you will see one very red pile of dirt ....he got that from behind his house and it was loaded with Gold....he wouldn't let me near it hahaha. imagine running that entire pile ....YEEHAW ......... makes me want to buy some land out there wink wink
I love how as technology keeps improving (and gold prices change) over time, people keep finding ways to go back to previously mined areas and *profitably* pull gold out of them! It's super cool that it's almost like archaeology when you can see old mines with some newer PVC pipes and stuff, or old rusting equipment nearby, and just all these layers of activity. Thanks for giving us all a tour Jeff, and to the owners for not shooting you! Lol
I love your energy! I found 3 nice gold nuggets in that area back in the late 1990's while hunting for meteorites with an original Gold Bug metal detector. I tossed the first nugget I found because it was encased in caliche and I thought it was an old lead bullet! The next day I found another, tossed it on the ground, thinking it was another bullet, walked about 50 yards and then it hit me! I went back to the spot and spent about hour detecting around, then refound it. I used my thumbnail to chip off a piece of the caliche and there it was, GOLD! I immediately flashed back to the lunker piece I found the day before and realized I had no idea where I found it. Lesson learned. 😂
I’ve seen a dozen operations come and go up on the ridge since the 70’s. One operation was so ambitious as to repair and replace the original water line from Iron Creek. I think they were one of the more successful operations and they just packed up and left. I never got the story behind why they split but they were a pretty shady characters from what I recall. I think Jay might do pretty well at old Tut. If nothing else, he’s having a great time. I’m glad I caught this episode, now I won’t be shocked when that huge pile it’s no longer visible from Pearce Ferry road. Good Luck Jay. And, as always great vid Jeff.
The first time I heard him use that line was the episode with Pioneer Pauly. Jeff snuck up behind him and pulled his pistol and said, "Don't say nothing boy, just drop those pants." Pauly looked like he wasn't sure if Jeff was joking or not.
I wish there was some way for me to do this kind of stuff. Im a disabled veteran. My injuries left me with difficulty in walking because of a spinal injury. Can can only walk with crutches for a short duration. I had thought about dredging as the water gives me good mobility with very little pain but doing this requires more than just myself. Thankyou for all the videos you do as it allows me to live through you in some of your prospecting.
Bro, you just gotta find a good source of paydirt! There's all kinds from ounce layden probags of insanity, to lightly screened yet well vetted river gravels. I recommend the latter if you want the real thrill of sussing out those little yellow specks! Set up a wash tub in the living room or basement or back yard! Get a sample pan and a few sand box toys, maybe a magnet or two, and let me tell you my brother your worries will drift away for gold fever dreams a plenty 💛👷⛏️! And yeah, you're gonna get wet! So Common! Let's go!
At my employer, we use a "sample thief" to get samples of granulation from different areas of a bin. Basically a hollow probe with a little door on the side near the end. Shove it into a bin of product to a certain depth, twist to open the door, twist to shut, then withdraw the sample.
@@josevillanueva9705 It's basically two pipes, one fits inside the other, and the outer pipe has a pointy end on it. Both pipes have an elongated slot in them near the point. When you rotate the inner pipe, the slots align and product flows into the resulting cavity. You twist the inner pipe to close the opening and withdraw the assembly from the product. McMaster-Carr and others sell them. Also called thief samplers.
Thank you for being our bedrock, your consistency over the years is something we all have come to enjoy in and of itself. You could just play thumb war with slim for an hour and no one would mind. Best 51 out of 100. Please and thanks again for sharing your knowledge and adventures. Take good care, stay safe
Jeff, you never get excited about gold and geology - NOT! It is fun to do things especially when people pooh pooh it as a waste of time. Felt the same way as a geophysicist/geologist going over seismic sections, well logs, computer modeling, micropaleo, cores and mapping it into a single report. Success of finding a good prospect to invest or poor prospect to avoid was the icing on the cake. Successful wells the whipped cream. Thanks for creating such a great YT site with great videos.
Oh my guess is 23.5 oz’s. I started dabbling, panning, then had to get a lung transplant. Now I’ve got a sluice and just run couple buckets at a time. Kicks my butt! I have got some fine gold, still looking for that first nugget. So, great videos. I really enjoy each one,! This pile of dirt looks like there is going to be a bunch of that elusive shiny!
I could have sworn, I saw Slim peeking out from behind a cactus! I think he is waiting for the sun to set and become one of those skinwalkers and get some free Gold! Great show Prof. Jeff, learned some new things. Thanks
Tried finding the GPAA claim a few years ago, the directions led you to the King Tut mine, gave up and went elsewhere. Fantastic looking property it is. I was also there in the early 1980's, should have bought the king Tut then. another one out that way, closer to Chloride is the Cyclops, also private property, perhaps you can give a tour of that as well. Great job Jeff.
Great job on the Video sunny Jim...Man looks hot out there...You sure know your rocks..wow...Very Impressive...Your camera crew did a great job on the shoot , AKA your wife.....Thanks for the Lesson in Geology...Stay safe.......................JB.............
jeffs a multi million dollar man and sure he knows where his rocks are at boy his the type of guy that might act like his been stiffing the nut meg in the hat shop but hell no its just a show cos he dont wanna after shoot you thats a why he dose that there running its cos the dock rebuilt him out of slim and made him all bionic thats why he can sniff gold out like a blood hound on a bacon rasher oh on that there nugget bucket I dare say 1 pound of 22 carrots or was that my darn stopping list I forget but a optimist I am. gold comes from a dieing sun at our core its liquid gold just out of our reach the bits we find are blessings to put bread on our tables take care all
Those seem like some serious prospector's nice machine and Yeah you did get wet!!, so I'm not going sneak into the King Tut cause I like the hole's I got now don't need any new one's I'm keeping it that way!! Any hue That 4 foot one I'll be looking forward to seeing it for sure!!! Nice of them to show how it work's and spending time with a fine person as yourself Jeff!!!; )
Excellent production. I always like the way you show what your explaining. I had been thinking how one could use a centrifuge to extract flower gold. Here it is perfect
Nice Video Jeff. A while back, some guy from Florida set up a small mill on the King Tut Pipeline. He made concentrates that he sold to Asarco. The cons were very high grade. The ore that the cons came from were on a break of limestone out West of the Grand Wash Cliffs. The gold was in rocks that did not assay. The recovery averaged more than 1 ounce per ton gold, kind of reminds me of the Chinle Shale that has a lot of gold in it from the outskirts of Meadview.
Thats how you get that very fine gold my friend😉 and thank you to Ginger , JT , Richard , Jay , Mike, Diana and the whole family for letting us see what's going on, on the property and mine and a HUGE THANKS TO Jeff for sharing!
That's quite a setup they have there. Getting pretty serious about chasing that gold with that equipment. It's neat to see some of the next steps beyond the small drywashers or high bankers that a lot of us use. I hope they pull a nice bunch of gold out of there before they pack it up and head home!
WOW JEFF WHAT A VIEW FROM THE TOP OF THE DIRT PILE WOW just amazing I never win but my guess would be 50oz in that picture lol and u have way to much energy ok JEFF TILL NEXT TIME 👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦
ALL YOU NEW COMERS HERE. YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE HERE. THIS MAN HAS THAT....."THING", THAT ALL OF US WISH WE HAD. VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. 👇 I HAVE FOUND GOLD BECAUSE OF THIS MAN. HEARD HIS VOICE IN MY HEAD, "YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT BOY!!" After walking away from a signal that came off wrong with the Gold bug. Went back, 1.2 gram waiting for me.

Tony .....been hoping to hear from you ...hope all is well in the Land of Oz......you betcha ....glad you liked it .... you too my friend ....hope to be out your way soon
I guess for 125 oz, because air of 2 * π * about 30 inches * 0.25 = about 47.12389 cubic inches .... and a 1 oz nugget of about 1 * 0.75 * 0.5 = 0.375 cubic inches. With that little math i can take 47.12389 .... / 0.375 who give me an answer of 125.6637, revised downwards to 125 oz because of inequal thickness of the nuggets we saw. Thank`s alot, from Québec, it is always fun to see your videos, full of positive energy!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️👍Hi Jeff Im a new patron.. And I bought the gold cube 3 days ago, thanks for your advice.. Hope I can share a video of my progress 👍❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 so come on let's go!.
I just get to go out every now and then for gold panning, so I usually run as much sand through my pans and collect all the heavy material and bring it home. Once home, I pan through that material while sitting on my couch and pick out any gold I find and place the heaviest leftovers into another bucket. I've found extremely fine gold by mechanically stirring small amounts at a time, in a 1000ml beaker as all the lighter than gold stuff goes out towards the edge of the beaker while the heaviest stuff gets stuck in the center. It seems counter-intuitive, but it works for me. I use a pipette to suck up the gold and squirt it into a bottle for storage. Typically, the water needs to be stirred vigorously to get all the particles in suspension, then place the beaker behind the left corder of a box fan. This causes the water to slowly continue circulating which allows that fine gold to gravitate towards the center while the faster moving fluid pulls away all the lighter stuff. It's not incredibly efficient and I doubt it is worth it if you are trying to earn a profit, but as a small time hobby gold panner, any little bit adds up eventually. This also works great in combination with the silt leftover from a rock tumbler after polishing batches of rocks. I think I may have some PGMs from doing this too, but I don't have enough of that material to test yet.
Loved the video..waiting for a small processor one to be available next year ! I love when they speed up Jeff running....reminds me of Benny Hill !! TIMBO
I think I have one of these pit mines on my land they were digging out the wash and mounting it all up there is a giant pile of sand pretty much just like this and pieces of Cable and conveyor belts laying around the trees growing in the pit must be at least a hundred years old by now there are trenches digging through white caliche with pretty good sized boulders all mixed in it lots of the pretty green stone and I found a hard Rock tunnel about 300 feet away with a gray silica vain about a half inch wide with cubic silverish pyrite in it the vein is shot straight through rusted sandstone rotten granite. I'm about 20 feet down the whole thing was backfilled to the top there was no tailings pile just some lichen covered monuments pointing in a triangle to a rock wall around a cliff face.
I am sure their tech back when that mound of tailings was made had the capacity to find the larger pieces you just found. The efficiency becomes the standard to demand. If you turn around and run your own tailings from today how much would you expect to find?
First THANK YOU JAY AND DANA for allowing us to see your property and film this video of the gyro bowl in action Second thank you Jeff for getting this permission to show us this and 7:17 I see you looking around for the rocks your talking about KHANNNNNN you shoulda showed us and SLOW DOWN SONNY JIM at about 7:50 I cracked my skull trying to cram all that geology in it jeez I’m gonna have to watch this again and again love Jeff’s geology school and I need to look at those magazine pics again to get my guess figured out.. thanks again for sharing 👍🏻👊🏻
@@LarryTaint-qn8pd 😂 You went far 😂 Some people get occupied when thinking, yet they cant react well.. thats what happened to Jeff, I believe .. he (sometimes) cant even laugh when others try to use his words his way 😂 .Thats normal.
One thing to recall about "the old timers" is that back "in the days of old, when they dug up the gold, in the days of '49" the Chinese came in after the "old timers" came through and reworked the tailings. They did really well just collecting what the first placer miners through missed. They also drift mined, or really "coyoted" is what we call in California. The tunnels weren't that far under the surface, more like coyote dens. So, those old timers weren't that thorough.
Awesome video Jeff very educational I especially like how they keep coming up with new inventions to capture gold keep up the good work look forward to the next video
The only problem with conveyor belt stacks is a phenomenon called stack sorting. multiple grades ( sizes ) of material fall off the belt. air blowing will blow fines off to the downwind side. then as the material hits the pile, the bigger stuff will bounce and roll, creating a differential layering of heavies cascading down a channel until the channel fills from the bottom up, which then creates a new channel of heavies flowing down a different direction. think of candle wax being slowly poured out. there is going to be ring / cone sections, as well as rivulets of structures in the pile. Now, if there is wind and rain weathering, then the bottom edges and the downwind and downstream of the stack will have concentrated fines.
I found lost creek of quartz in North Carolina years ago . What chances of it having gold ? I never checked quartz out see if there any gold. Thinking about going back down there this summer
Can only imagine the millions in nuggets found by the first prospectors usin medal detectors on the bucket line dredge pile of tailings! Many of those dredges were after the finer placer gold and the nuggets and float went out the waist conveyor, building up the tailing pile. The richest was often on the top of the tailings, due to that was where the last material came off the bedrock. Near Breckenridge, CO they built houses over leveled tailings known to still have nuggets. I knew a guy who once had a jar full of nuggets from those tailings. It's possible the value of the tailings property area exceeded the value of some of the houses they built on the property.
I was checking this place from satellite image and looks like this entire king tut sediments were part of Grand Canyon sedimentary layers. And it used to have more layers on top of it. But massive flood water that overflowed the west mountains (coming from gold basin direction) completely washed away these layers to north east direction and drained them into Coloradoriver area. Probably the heavy material continued to stay while the lighter material was washed away. I read somewhere it talks about cretaceous layer bedrock 100 ft to 300ft down. Looking from opposite side of these sedimentary layers (south west of these sedimentary mountains) I noticed there are some cracks or horizontal cuts that didn't erode away(like a pancakes you can see edges sticking out)Is that the bedrock it's talking about? Or by bedrock it means the sedimentary layers touching the most bottom earth's crust?
Hello Jeff, I like your videos and your explanations, also from geological point of view. Congratulations. I'd like to ask the following. In one of your videos, you're using 2 rods and a gold nugget. The questions are: - in which metal are the 2 rods? - which is their lengths (long side and short side - they're making an angle of 90° I think) - which is the needed weight of gold that you put in your right hand? - must it be 24 carats? - for which kind of gold does it work (sand gold, very tiny pieces, nuggets, or etc)? - if I want to search a burried treasure or one in a cliff in front of me, does it also work? - at which distance and depth dies it work? Also, in the Philippines, there are lots of places with dark grey/black sand. Is it a good indication that their is gold in it? Are the rods going to indicate me where to dig? How deep? I'm sorry for my English; I'm French speaking (Belgium- Europe). And I'm also sorry if my questions are stupid but I'm looking for an activity to do when I'll be retired. I thank you very much for your time to read and answer my questions. I hope you'll continue to make your interesting videos. Best regards, Yves Lefere yves_lefere@yahoo.com
Jeff you are so funny in the way you teach us all about Gold Mining this is what makes a Great Teacher which you are. I'm 68 and have learned so much thank you. Donald M. Crow Ca Ca Ca

@@Famo59 thats great news my friend .... can't wait to get out there and get that Monster Shiney .....keep us posted
Hi, how are you doing. I trust you're safe and in good health......I'm looking for new friend okay 😊
Always enjoy and thanks for the tour, that black sand makes the pick look like a chia pet lol
Great life lots of fun thanks for sharing your story Great people in Gods country
I hit like before I even watched the video. My world needs moar Jeff Williams in it boy!
thanks
Denied that hand shake at 21min 11sec 🤣🤣🤣 great video! Thanks!
Nice place over there Jeff. Big hug from Holland. Be HAPPY and stay safe.
Thanks, you too!
I guess for 125 oz, because air of 2 * π * about 30 inches * 0.25 = about 47.12389 cubic inches .... and a 1 oz nugget of about 1 * 0.75 * 0.5 = 0.375 cubic inches. With that little math i can take 47.12389 .... / 0.375 who give me an answer of 125.6637, revised downwards to 125 oz because of inequal thickness of the nuggets we saw. Thank`s alot, from Québec, it is always fun to see your videos, full of positive energy!
keep it coming i cant get enough of your vids thank you Jeff
Thanks, will do!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️👍Hi Jeff Im a new patron.. And I bought the gold cube 3 days ago, thanks for your advice.. Hope I can share a video of my progress 👍❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 so come on let's go!.
thats great ....we know you will love it ...if ya got questions.....well then sonny Jim you know who to ask
I just get to go out every now and then for gold panning, so I usually run as much sand through my pans and collect all the heavy material and bring it home. Once home, I pan through that material while sitting on my couch and pick out any gold I find and place the heaviest leftovers into another bucket. I've found extremely fine gold by mechanically stirring small amounts at a time, in a 1000ml beaker as all the lighter than gold stuff goes out towards the edge of the beaker while the heaviest stuff gets stuck in the center. It seems counter-intuitive, but it works for me. I use a pipette to suck up the gold and squirt it into a bottle for storage.
Typically, the water needs to be stirred vigorously to get all the particles in suspension, then place the beaker behind the left corder of a box fan. This causes the water to slowly continue circulating which allows that fine gold to gravitate towards the center while the faster moving fluid pulls away all the lighter stuff. It's not incredibly efficient and I doubt it is worth it if you are trying to earn a profit, but as a small time hobby gold panner, any little bit adds up eventually. This also works great in combination with the silt leftover from a rock tumbler after polishing batches of rocks. I think I may have some PGMs from doing this too, but I don't have enough of that material to test yet.
Loved the video..waiting for a small processor one to be available next year ! I love when they speed up Jeff running....reminds me of Benny Hill !! TIMBO
TIMBO !!!!!!! You and me both!
Hi Brian, how are you doing. I trust you're safe and in good health......I'm looking for new friend okay 😊
Nobody has more energy then Jeff
I had a friend find a 7 oz nugget out there back in the 80s
Holy Cow****What a contraption*****😃
Great video Professor. My 10 yr old daughter asked about slim. Thank you Sir.
thats great and Slim is doing fine in the Cabin.... he makes vids on the side for fun
Jeff is the best.
thanks but don't forget Slim
Ask Jeff Williams; That old bag of bones, Slim? He belongs in a old dusty pyramid somewhere. Lol
I think I have one of these pit mines on my land they were digging out the wash and mounting it all up there is a giant pile of sand pretty much just like this and pieces of Cable and conveyor belts laying around the trees growing in the pit must be at least a hundred years old by now there are trenches digging through white caliche with pretty good sized boulders all mixed in it lots of the pretty green stone and I found a hard Rock tunnel about 300 feet away with a gray silica vain about a half inch wide with cubic silverish pyrite in it the vein is shot straight through rusted sandstone rotten granite. I'm about 20 feet down the whole thing was backfilled to the top there was no tailings pile just some lichen covered monuments pointing in a triangle to a rock wall around a cliff face.
im goin down to placerville hardware today to get me a blue bowl. thanks jeff , nice video.
I am sure their tech back when that mound of tailings was made had the capacity to find the larger pieces you just found. The efficiency becomes the standard to demand.
If you turn around and run your own tailings from today how much would you expect to find?
Yeehawwww... Biggest Gold Ice Cream Maker Ever !!! Let’s Go GetSum 👍🏻🤠🇺🇸
First THANK YOU JAY AND DANA for allowing us to see your property and film this video of the gyro bowl in action Second thank you Jeff for getting this permission to show us this and 7:17 I see you looking around for the rocks your talking about KHANNNNNN you shoulda showed us and SLOW DOWN SONNY JIM at about 7:50 I cracked my skull trying to cram all that geology in it jeez I’m gonna have to watch this again and again love Jeff’s geology school and I need to look at those magazine pics again to get my guess figured out.. thanks again for sharing 👍🏻👊🏻
exactly ....can't thank them enough for that...... will do Bobalu
Another great one jeff took you awhile was getting worried for you my brother
yes I was too
21:10
Just shake hands Jeff, or yeeeah, you gonna get shot 😂
Yea, why wouldn't Jeff shake his hand? Had he seen where it was previously?
I know that was awkward
@@LarryTaint-qn8pd 😂
You went far 😂
Some people get occupied when thinking, yet they cant react well.. thats what happened to Jeff, I believe .. he (sometimes) cant even laugh when others try to use his words his way 😂 .Thats normal.
Keep those videos coming Jeff !!
Love watching them and all the information you give. 👍🙂
To borrow your line... "C'mon !!! Let's GO"!!!! 😉
Looks like the high desert in California, out near Kramer’s Junction/ Boron.
One thing to recall about "the old timers" is that back "in the days of old, when they dug up the gold, in the days of '49" the Chinese came in after the "old timers" came through and reworked the tailings. They did really well just collecting what the first placer miners through missed. They also drift mined, or really "coyoted" is what we call in California. The tunnels weren't that far under the surface, more like coyote dens. So, those old timers weren't that thorough.
Awesome video Jeff very educational I especially like how they keep coming up with new inventions to capture gold keep up the good work look forward to the next video
Thanks, will do!
Jeff I was worried about you too I love all your videos keep the good job and your friend skeleton I like to see all you videos
Glad to see your ok
Whoohoo ! There's Gold in that there pile!
That's a beautiful view on the tailings
Saludos desde Hermosillo Sonora, me gustan mucho tus videos y aprendo mucho
The only problem with conveyor belt stacks is a phenomenon called stack sorting.
multiple grades ( sizes ) of material fall off the belt. air blowing will blow fines off to the downwind side. then as the material hits the pile, the bigger stuff will bounce and roll, creating a differential layering of heavies cascading down a channel until the channel fills from the bottom up, which then creates a new channel of heavies flowing down a different direction.
think of candle wax being slowly poured out.
there is going to be ring / cone sections, as well as rivulets of structures in the pile.
Now, if there is wind and rain weathering, then the bottom edges and the downwind and downstream of the stack will have concentrated fines.
Excellent video sonny Jim Bob!👍😉💛
Jeff glad you're back! Great video!
More to come!
I found lost creek of quartz in North Carolina years ago . What chances of it having gold ? I never checked quartz out see if there any gold. Thinking about going back down there this summer
That was a cool setup thanks for sharing this adventure stay safe. TANK
Look like about 12.5 ounces!!! Thanks Jeff
This video made my day thanks Jeff
There's gold in those mounds there boy. Hi Jeff you at the best place in the States, away from everyone. Love what you do, take care. Love Metallica.
thanks
He said "oh man what am i doing? Idk man do i look like a man with a plan😂
200K!!! Congratulations, Jeff!!!
Cool vid man, and to run on down the oklahoma road a little bit further....what do you call a 10 foot chunk of garden hose?

Can only imagine the millions in nuggets found by the first prospectors usin medal detectors on the bucket line dredge pile of tailings! Many of those dredges were after the finer placer gold and the nuggets and float went out the waist conveyor, building up the tailing pile. The richest was often on the top of the tailings, due to that was where the last material came off the bedrock.
Near Breckenridge, CO they built houses over leveled tailings known to still have nuggets. I knew a guy who once had a jar full of nuggets from those tailings. It's possible the value of the tailings property area exceeded the value of some of the houses they built on the property.
I was checking this place from satellite image and looks like this entire king tut sediments were part of Grand Canyon sedimentary layers. And it used to have more layers on top of it. But massive flood water that overflowed the west mountains (coming from gold basin direction) completely washed away these layers to north east direction and drained them into Coloradoriver area. Probably the heavy material continued to stay while the lighter material was washed away. I read somewhere it talks about cretaceous layer bedrock 100 ft to 300ft down. Looking from opposite side of these sedimentary layers (south west of these sedimentary mountains) I noticed there are some cracks or horizontal cuts that didn't erode away(like a pancakes you can see edges sticking out)Is that the bedrock it's talking about? Or by bedrock it means the sedimentary layers touching the most bottom earth's crust?
Hello Jeff,
I like your videos and your explanations, also from geological point of view.
Congratulations.
I'd like to ask the following.
In one of your videos, you're using 2 rods and a gold nugget.
The questions are:
- in which metal are the 2 rods?
- which is their lengths (long side and short side - they're making an angle of 90° I think)
- which is the needed weight of gold that you put in your right hand?
- must it be 24 carats?
- for which kind of gold does it work (sand gold, very tiny pieces, nuggets, or etc)?
- if I want to search a burried treasure or one in a cliff in front of me, does it also work?
- at which distance and depth dies it work?
Also, in the Philippines, there are lots of places with dark grey/black sand.
Is it a good indication that their is gold in it?
Are the rods going to indicate me where to dig?
How deep?
I'm sorry for my English; I'm French speaking (Belgium- Europe).
And I'm also sorry if my questions are stupid but I'm looking for an activity to do when I'll be retired.
I thank you very much for your time to read and answer my questions.
I hope you'll continue to make your interesting videos.
Best regards,
Yves Lefere

Though the worm people got ya, nice to see a cool video from you. That green bowl looks juicy. Cheers from Alberta
Where have you been? Great educational video again don't be a stranger we miss you so you know what I'm going to say. Lol!!!
Slim has me digging 24/7
Jeff you are so funny in the way you teach us all about Gold Mining this is what makes a Great Teacher which you are. I'm 68 and have learned so much thank you. Donald M. Crow Ca Ca Ca
thanks
Looks like a cool machine. Did they ever make a smaller one? The web site only shows a big one. And of course they hide pricing :(.
yes they made the smaller one
Hello Jeff, we like your channel my wife and I are new to Gold Prospecting so far, we have watched several other channels and now living in Phoenix can you give some greenies some advice. Thank You Jeff
Hi Mike ..... you have good Gold areas near you location ... mostly up by Wickenburg
Good to see you again
Pan-American Jig? You use that to catch bass?
Hello.Is there any fish in that pond?😕😯😶
yep
My man Jeff is doing smart things out there we need more people like him
thanks
