  • I had a chance to tour an abandoned historic gold mine in California called the Eagle Mine. This mine is located in Julian CA above San Diego/ Los Angeles area. This was a great tour and if you are in the area you should stop by and check it out!

    I did some reasearch recently on some abandoned mines. Went on a panning trip recently, and visited a few of the mines that I had found. At one particular mine, I took a lot of quartz samples ranging from 1 lb to 50 lbs each. Broke them open and found more gold dust than I could've imagined. I've been working on extracting the gold for a few weeks now. After about 2 weeks, I realized why so much was left behind...it's a pain on the ass. At the rate I'm going, I'll be 110 yrs old when I'm done.

    Heads up, OK! A teacher of geology, Nick Zentner has a channel he started when Covid hit so he could still do classes on CZcams. He has perfected his videography technics with the help of a technician at the school. He clips on a Wi-Fi mic on a person he is in conversation with, much like this fellow giving you this tour. You would be able to hear everything he says, crystal clear, in your video. I recommend you add Nick Zentner to your channel list and add Frank Schlichting in Grand Forks, BC, he is rebuilding his Museum and a home next to an old gold mine that he bought and is restoring to become part of the museum. Then there is Gly, a perfectionist, he IS the video camera, you can get some tips from him, excellent channel.

Could an amateur prospector make a smaller shaker table than would be more compact and still effective? Hope you have time to respond, and thanks for sharing this video with us.

    Yes, the mine tour was excellent and it was very informative and the tour guide had a good sense of humor and a good knowledge of """current geologic theory""""... Note: the geology dates are all factious and made up by the free masons of Ireland way back in the early 1700s. Not one man was alive way back 55 million years ago, and so these are not even best guesses for the age of any rock. Rock can not be dated. Geologists use what is called circle logic to arrive at the dates of the rock. They will tell you if you pin them down: that the rock is dated by the fossils in the rock, and then if you pin them down, they will be forced to tell you that the fossils are dated by the rock that contain the fossils., so that is all BS circle logic. The Japanese proved that coal can be formed using high pressure, in as little as 2 years. The higher the pressure the less time required to form the rock from the flood sediments. The Geologic column is a factious and fictious creation of the Irish free masons, who hated God and decided to create a new creation story that included millions and billions of years.
