Whats better..... Geology or Drift mining? This is more exciting than a Tyson / Paul fight .Lol Watch this vid for both ruclips.net/video/NQMYRj9d2U0/видео.html and smash that like button ....SMASH it HARD !!!!!!
I personally enjoy your drift mine operation videos. It gets me motivated to rebuild the portal to my drift mine and get it operational once again. Of course, the geology lessons are always great! You’re a master at your craft. Good gold hunting! Take care.
There was a newbie who bought a high end mine lab detector. He went to quartzite and found a big nugget on his first try! Almost a ounce.! Talk about beginners luck!
You’re my favorite standup geologist. Your routine is constantly changing but always hilarious. You must have won every possible teacher award from your students and from envious administrators as well. Geology resembles a foreign language with all the colorful names of specific rock types and minerals and eons of processes. You make what could be a boring oratory as attention demanding as the most edge of your seat drama of an Oscar winning movie. Thank you for all your fascinating videos.
Right in the middle of my Jeff Williams geology lesson, the six million dollar man suddenly appears, and I'm transported back to the fourth grade and doing everything in slow motion.
Once again Jeff thank you for all the knowledge that you share . What a sight it would be if we were able to see everything the way it was when everything up and running
I instantly saved this video...bcuz there was enough information and knowledge in here to make a $5000 gold/geology course..in other words if you rewatch and learn everything in this one video you are better educated about prospecting than 97% of the crowds..heart felt thank you Jeff. NOW MASH IT PEOPLE!!
No better prospecting channel on YT. I am too old to be in the field, but I love the info u share. The best info on the net. Yeah, i smashed it.....so hard it might have caused a quake!!!
The redder the better! I thought? Now it's the green shist.,....Lol! Cufusious say, confusing.....Lol! More heat, more pressure turns to shist, I've got that problem! Lol Tepee full of shist! Love it Jeff, it takes time to absorb it all....🤪⛏️⚒️⚖️🤠
Thanks Jeff!! Sometimes I feel like some of your videos are especially for me 😂 this is super valuable information it seems I live in almost the same terrain your showing in this video! When I find that shiney you’ll be the first to hear about it! Great shist 🎉 keep up the good work ❤
Damn, it’s 3:38 am I gotta shut this down and crash for a while. Next thing you know… damn it’s 6:55 am I’ve gotta quit this shit. No sleep today I’ve had a heapin helpin of J.W!

As usual, I was overloaded at ca chunka chunk. But I’m still here! And this has been book marked I will be back and back and back. As always, top notch A#1 Jeff. Happy trails, R in Pantano, Az Yes the ghost town.
I found Molybdenite in Quartz, while panning Gold in a beginning headwater stream, in WNC… with jagged placer gold flakes….200 feet below the hillside springs. Wondering if molybdenite… is a good indicator mineral, for a possible rich Gold deposit? I was amazed when I first found it , and also some Corundum in my pan. Great video as always Jeff.. love your geology lessons.⛏️⛏️⛏️💯💯💯
Hi Kelly , yes Molybdenite is a great Gold indicator especially in porphyry copper-molybdenum systems where gold mineralization can occur alongside molybdenum mineralization
@@Askjeffwilliams Hi Jeff!!! That’s awesome News! Thank You …for your Great insight! I actually found a little piece of wire gold.. with a red tint !🙌💯💯💯⛏️⛏️⛏️
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Brutha, I learn so much from you. Take care and stay safe... Best wishes to you, Lila and the Fam..... Howdy all from the Gold Hill mining district of southwestern Oregon and my family... Happy Thanksgiving !
You canna beat panning and the gold starts peekin oot fae behind the black sand.... My gold hunting itch is gettin scratched this week now the early snows melted here in Scotland.. Cheers
Thankyou for the lessons jeff and lila. Thankyou for filming lila😊 theres a lot to learn. I know youre in nevada or california, but would the same rock be in other states where gold is?
More fun more learning good Refreshers always rake your rocks to the back of the pan right Jeff learned that from you and slim long time ago thanks again
@@Askjeffwilliams I have spent some time in northern Nevada and it was beautiful. My "mine exploration" locations have been Utah, Montana, and the U.P. of Michigan. I just found out recently that it is not legal to explore mines in Utah. I did this back in the 1980's in the Wasatch Range and out near Tooele, Utah. I am looking into checking out your mine camp tours. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
I'm still trying to find a quartz outcropping that's been shedding into a creek that runs through my property in the Uwharrie Mountains. Bedrock is sandstone. I find gold specks in just about every pan.
Thanks 🙏 again for your information and time Jeff Amazing how you find it all or maybe Lila did the research lol lol 😂 And a nice few bits too cool Cheers 🍻 from Australia CrouchOz
It the Tibet mountain the basalt has pure gold in at places. I saw a breaking apart the basalt and finding it at 11,000 ft elevation. A whole mountain of these rocks with no apparent vien structures. If i hadnt seen it i wouldnt believe it ! Beutiful buttery shinny gold.!
"To Find Gold you must Go where it has already been found" *Gold Essayers*, *Federal Reserve Banks*, *Fort Knox*, *Jewelry Stores* ,,,,,,,,, Got it Sonny Jim? 🤣🤣🤣 Great teaching video Jeff tyvm
At 19 minutes, the stock works has some vugs with pyrite. How were the vugs formed? Was that Slim rocking at the end, or are those the original members of Kansas. Love the tootin 6 shooter. Keep up the great entertainment.
Jeff I found an eclogite in Niagara Falls area! Idk how it got here 😕 it's definitely been water eroded and rounded and it's got... you guessed it!!! Gold!!! 😊 do you have an videos with eclogites?
Yeah, why isn't that stamp mill being preserved somehow? What a beautiful piece of machinery. The wood alone is worth a fortune, not that I think it should be separated. I wish I knew where that was, I would love to see it in person.
I have 2 volcanic dikes that run thru my yard, useing your distance rule, we are like 1 mile from the shield volcano. The main one is out in the national forest so can't mess with that. Thing is it comes up thru sandstone. I guess I need to send some in find out what it is. It's interesting in that you got quartz vain with the shinny grey sulfides intermixed like you showed, but then there is this red like ruby semi translucent hard vain as the quartz next to it, sometimes I find it as mutiple layers or intrusions going quartz red stuff, looks like bacon, lol. Then I have this thick vain where its the quartz mixed in with the red chystals. That one looks like cinabar, so I havent tryed to find out myself if it is. Places all around my yard and the forest had hot springs. I'm not really looking for gold in it and I have some soaking in vinigar for over a year now just in case the white stuff wasn't quartz. If it was calcite or limestone it would of desolved by now just leaving the red chystals I would think anyway. There was some sort minning here but its from anciant times, just trying to find out what it was they were after. I don't think it was gold, but could of been mercury maybe, but from Aztec times going by erosion around the entrance, like a perfectly cut doorway starting in the limestone layer on top of a sandstone ledge whos direction points the same way as the fault runs where the main dike comes up into the forest below. Anyway need climbing gear to get into it and theres booby traps on the way, big stacks of rocks up on the cliffs just being held by old sticks. Going by a native map this area was off limits even to them. Theres more info I have, but can't say on here. I would like to figure this out on my own but looks like I need to send some of these rocks, whats a good inexpensive place to send rocks?
Please visit Western NC streams and Rivers. The streams are down to bedrock, where is the gold? Big Hungry River to be exact. Or just explain what happen to the gold in a "massive 1000 year flood".
Bedrock, and surface in low pressure zones. I found alot of nuggets in flood areas in the first 6inch of gravel behind big boulders after massive floods.
How do you find contact zones when it's not so obvious? I've seen serpentine outcrops, which can be indicators of gold bearing ore nearby, but not see any contacts because of all the dirt. I'm in Yreka CA on the west side of the Klamath mountains and the ground around here looks like a mess. There are a lot of mines, tailing piles, etc. but it's hard to figure out what they were taking out. Add the fact that the old timers were very tight lipped.
Arsenic=33 a=1 r=9 s=1 e=5 n=5 I=9 c=3 added up = 33 and it's the 33rd element on the periodic table there is your Gematria lesson for the day federal, order, masonry, secrecy, all = 33 like the 33 vertebrae and 33 degrees in the Scottish rite of Freemasonry that runs this country 😂 nice gold Jeff
Jeff, When you that you could see where the freezing took place first describing the Basalt dike going through the eluvium I'm lost now. I see no room for 32 degrees when that was happening. What froze ?
Jeff I have a question. What is gold? How is gold formed. What elements need to be combined if any. And what is the process. I mean it has to start from somewhere right?
Hey Jeff, question here, I have a crystal mine in Colorado, some of my lesser quality crystals I noticed there are lots of bugs and little mineralized pockets. There’s only one way to find out, but would you think if I were to crush some of these that they could contain Gold?

Liminite is semi common in my backyard, and yes, wire gold is the norm here, eastern Washoe County.
“ ya call it granite diorite” and yah, there’s gold out here. Another doozie!
Good video Jeff, lot of information packed into this one.
Always good to go over the past lessons,, just an old MSHA guy
thanks old MSHA guy hahahhahaha
Are you an old miner, or MSHA instructor?
That was fun and educational, thanks so very much. Did I get it right that rocks that have no mica are no schist rocks
bingo ...schistose rocks always exhibit mica in the foliations
Thanks for another video Jeff absolutely All of your videos are great!

yes
You've really got your shifts together lol
Arsenic=33 a=1 r=9 s=1 e=5 n=5 I=9 c=3 added up = 33 and it's the 33rd element on the periodic table there is your Gematria lesson for the day federal, order, masonry, secrecy, all = 33 like the 33 vertebrae and 33 degrees in the Scottish rite of Freemasonry that runs this country 😂 nice gold Jeff
actually arsenic in simple Gematria form is 69: a-1 r-18 s 19-e 5-n 14-i 9 c-3 then add 69 together is 15 which is 6
You guys better watch yer language😂⛏️⛏️
Has there ever been gold found in north fork or west fork of the san Gabriel mountains
mostly East
Jeff, When you that you could see where the freezing took place first describing the Basalt dike going through the eluvium I'm lost now. I see no room for 32 degrees when that was happening. What froze ?
when very hot Basalt cools rapidly it is called freezing
Where the schist is this?
Would you be willing to come to Virginia Southwest Virginia Blue ridge mountains.? Found something newly discovered you would be interested in .
Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone! Id rather be prospecting, that golden turkey ain't got nothin on the Au from mother nature's oven!
exactly
Damn Professor, I had to watch that one twice.
Jeff I have a question.
What is gold?
How is gold formed.
What elements need to be combined if any.
And what is the process.
I mean it has to start from somewhere right?
that is a very good question with a complex answer and we have made a few vids describing that ....
Search 'neutron star heavy elements' in google or RUclips.
That's some good looking shcist right there. 😂 Geology jokes😂
I'm confused is a fizzur and a fissure the same structure.
My schist was green this morning, does that mean there's gold in my schist 😂
Hey Jeff, question here, I have a crystal mine in Colorado, some of my lesser quality crystals I noticed there are lots of bugs and little mineralized pockets. There’s only one way to find out, but would you think if I were to crush some of these that they could contain Gold?
yes
If you have a lot of green schist you may want to consult with your doctor 😂
hahahhahaaaa
Can gold, silver or copper be associated with Uranium deposits? I found a couple of mines near me I want to check out. Diggers labels these mines as Gold and Uranium deposits.
some
Carmel Chocolate Corn swirl. 😂
Damn Jeff I'm glad you don't take medication when you do these videos, otherwise they would be boring 😂
