  • @SaltwaterServr
    @SaltwaterServr 7 лет назад +8

    I'd like to add that in porphyry deposits you have two systems of veins. The first is as you mentioned, linear/parallel systems where the density of the quartz veins drops the further you get from the central hydrothermal enrichment zone.
    The second is radial/concentric such as the San Juan system in Arizona. There are both radiating veins that tend to be more or less equally distributed around the uplift, and then there are concentric veins as well.
    Imagine them like this...take a piece of wax paper and cover it with wet sand. If you slide the handle of a wooden spoon under the wax paper, lift only the spoon so that cracks appear, and then set it down again, you'll see the formation of the linear parallel systems. Consequently you'll get the side shoots showing the 45 and 90 degree variation on those main cracks/fault/veins.
    Now do the same thing, but instead of a handle of a wood spoon, try and put a tennis ball under there. As the ball pushes up on the underneath surface of the wax paper, it will cause the cracks to form around this central zone of pressure in concentric and radial fashion.
    In both systems, as you get further from the central pressure that caused the deposition of the quartz and mineralization, you lose the frequency of the veins. BUT if you can map the trends of those veins you may be able to find more that haven't yet been discovered.

    The coast of California has plugs left over from the erosion of the volcanoes. My friends daughter gave my son a rock when we were at the beach. When we got back home I looked at it, I was like is this quarts? It is smoothed out and there looks to be a few small pieces of gold embedded into it.

    hey Jeff, here's my two cents worth of following bull quartz veins:
    look at the crystalline structure of the quartz itself, if you have large glassy and shiny surfaces with semi-regular cleavage to it there usually isn't much mineralization associated with it.. at least the veins in idaho i have looked at. when the crystalline structure gets really fine and the quartz looks more like frozen, fractured milk and the rocks cleaves randomly without making large sharp chips then you need to start paying attention. often times there is a blue tint to the quartz as well.
    i'm really diggin your channel, the info you're presenting here is so spot on!

    This video is pretty much the type of info my almost 8 year old son and I have been looking for. Thank you so much Jeff Williams for putting this together for us all and sharing your passion for the hunt and geology!
    I'd love to know if there are other videos that go into more detail some of the process (different environmental) conditions that you mentioned like hydro thermal, etc. Any book resources on this sort of thing, especially one that a smart 7 year old might be able to learn from?
    I hope you don't mind me saying, as these videos are a gift (or should I say, a "treasure") to be very grateful for. There is just a small adjustment I'd like to suggest to help us potentially get more out of your videos. The issue is, the camera moves and shakes too much. There aren't enough points where they will hold the camera still. Even as one pans, or zooms in or zooms out, there needs to be more time for the camera to be still, so we can better analyze and see the rocks.
    As long as the camera is moving towards or away, it is too difficult to really "observe" (at least for me). This is probably why TV networks have multiple cameras already focused and positioned on their "perspective point" - the viewer just sees the picture "jump" to a different scene, but it is a still camera from the beginning of that angel. Perhaps Jeff could put the samples down on something that is stable, to be filmed for 5 seconds or so, and the camera man hold STILL;) Maybe I am being too picky (I am an ex engineer from high tech semiconductor whos focus was on identification of process and tool related defects via analysis of signatures on the silicon wafers and the look of the defect itself zoomed in...and yes, different elements and compositions would have completly different looks to them even as just solid particulate...a lot like rocks!). Anyway, if the pictures could me stabalized (my iphone 6 plus does this, as does certain apps/software for cheap after the fact), this would be so helpful!
    IT probably seems like a no braininer to you guys who already have a good amount of experience IDing rocks and knowing what they look like. We are only learning, but always apreciated the beauty and variations. Now we wish to get more serious...maybe even find some valuables to the market! My son is a little entrepreneur! ;) We are interested in exploring our own area in Southwest Washington and Oregon - I guess we may have gold just 10 miles from us! W
    e also like to camp a lot, and recently took a camp trip to the Shasta CA area during Spring break, with the primary intention to do our first real hunt for gold! I prefer looking in rocks vs rivers. But, there is just SO much yellow and browns everywhere there . We collected a bunch, but we really can't tell IF it is gold, or something else. Just yesterday I finally looked at one under a magnifying glass I thought might be sparkling quartz or platinum glittered lightly on one of the rocks, but upon zooming in, to me it looks like tiny diamonds! I looked up "finding diamonds in rocks" and sure enough, their yellow, brown, and cream colored rocks looked like ours! But yeah, to us newbies it is just so confusing - especially knowing that things will oxidize and or dusting coated or lightly plastered on the rocks.
    I brought back some quartz with yellow stains in crevices, black iron (probably) type rocks with shiny silvers, copper colors, maybe gold....? It would be great to see some examples of what IS probably gold and silver (and copper), and what is NOT but may be confused by new people like us. I also worry a little bit about lead and mercury, and really don't know how to distinguish those with silver, platinum etc.
    I also did buy a few books before our trip on the kindle, but they really don't have many helpful pictures which was disappointing to us as we were looking through all the rock piles in CA wondering if they were gold or not - we still could not tell with the books. They always seem to like to take pictures of gold nuggets. But per my understanding, it isn't likely we would find just a gold nugget on the hillsides unless it was in a river or creek first and the majority of all the other rock was broke away or reacted with, setting the gold "nugget" piece free.

    He' getting into it deep in explaining this. Where I'm from, I would follow the slate/quartz/granite veins to find gold in the old mines. The Haile mine that was in Kershaw,SC was the first mine I had ever visited. I done research on this mine when it was first opened. They used the Thies Chlorination Process. And after that, I would visit other old mines thru the Carolinas. The gold was located in the piedmont plateau.

  • @sandyc1100
    @sandyc1100 7 лет назад

    So glad I ran across this video. I have found 3 large quartz rocks the same size as in your video. one is very smooth, the other 2 show what i think you call veins. (3 ft long, 2 ft wide, at least 12 inches thick, and thicker into the ground) They are in a straight line. 2 are 20 ft apart, the 3rd is 6 ft from the middle rock. they are near an old river/creek bed, the bed is 6 ft away. the other edge is a meadow. some of the old creek bed is swampy with pits and low areas of orange colored watery muck. is that clay? Is it iron? is that worth digging? the creek may have relocated more than once in a 75 ft wide area. I have not found another outcropping at a 45 or 90 degree angle. where should i dig? i know nothing, go looking every weekend. have found nothing. i read gold is often near quartz, which may be wrong. i have found many quartz veins. some 1/2", some 12" wide. now i found this outcropping.

    I don't know about the sulfide turning it yellow and if you brake it up you can smell it great thing to know. I was panning a creek once and found black sand everywhere evin in the middle of the creek but didn't find gold

  • @1topskyrocket
    @1topskyrocket 6 лет назад +1

    great video as usual, I'm working on an epithelial Zone that actually has just under the surface the stuff that came out of the hot springs. You wouldn't know it to hike up there unless you know what to look for. most of this is on a ridge between two mountain peaks approximately 500 feet apart. Okay they might be might not be Mountain but large Hills. I suspect the ridge between the two mountains is also a gosselins cap. It even has what looks like indigo striping on the surface. But I'm still learning and I'm clueless it what I'm dealing with. I wish you would provide better close-ups to help those of us trying to figure out our situation.

    • @1topskyrocket
      @1topskyrocket 6 лет назад +1

      both of those hills are made up of volcanic rock and schitt's. sets my metal detector off like it's silver so it could be silver there too. I wish we could post photos for you, however you would probably receive a million of them.

    • @1topskyrocket
      @1topskyrocket 6 лет назад +1

      by the way Jeff Williams, I discovered a way to find thermal zones and epithermal zones by looking at the trees and plants. That would be a good show for you and then you could tell me what's going on in my place that's private property.

IVE HEARD THERES PLACES IN ARIZONA WHERE SOME NICE NUGGETS ARE TRAMPLED UNDER FOOT A GOOD METAL DETECTOR AND YOU STAND A GOOD CHANCE OF FINDING ONE. OR MORE. IM LOOKING FORWARD TO HITTING SOME OLD STREAM BEDS IN THE GEORGIA AREA.. I DOUBT YOU COULD GET ANYWHERE NEAR DELONEAGAH GA. AREA UNLESS YOU JOIN GPPA AND GET ON SOME OF THEIR CLAIMS.
