Your favorite Gold miner, Prospector and Geologist has got some more Geology tips for you guys, and we cover what plants have a tendency to grow in areas that have a high potential for placer Gold deposits. Along the way I will teach some of my tips and tricks to locating Lode Deposits ( Eluvial ) of Gold based off of float and mineral indicators. Don't forget to smash that like button ....smash it HARD !!!! and for more vids on the Geology of Gold, watch this one czcams.com/video/F_m4EFFVYXQ/video.html
Hi, I've got a question if you have the time. How come you seem to find tiny gold, but on Aussie Gold Hunters they find BIG nuggets?
@@indigenous7046 because its Australia my brother land of the 5-ounce sunbakers
Thank You Professor Jeff!!
Thatz some Beeeeaaauuuutiful shiny!! Impressive skills!!
Man, I can't wait to explain the physics while showing you how to dowse and precisely gauge what is being dowsed using the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod. With your geological knowledge and dowsing with the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, in the near future Junior and Major Mining Corporations will be leasing and joint-venturing with you on major precious metal deposits. Also, this would be good entertainment for myself watching your progress from above. Go figure !
@@Askjeffwilliams The biggest sunbaker I have found here in Western Australia was a specie dug up in the old days with 40 grams of gold in it.
Seriously, the best content on CZcams is when Jeff gets excited.
it's like every piece of gold is his 1st piece, must be awesome to love what you do that much , God Bless All
@@deanweber4370 it's the fever! The only cure is more gold(en cowbell!)
That maniacal laugh/giggle is totally unique!!!!
@@ssnerd583 doomcock has a good one too
I would definitely not go prospecting alone with Jeff.
Geology, botany and GOLD FEVER all in one video!!! It doesn't get any better.
I'm tellin' ya! 100% Golden Content😂
Right? I love it.
All this time in the field and Jeff still gets excited.
I have a Trumpet plant on my window sill, and the darn thing aint growing no gold yet 🤣🎧⛏⛏
hahahahahah feed it one part iron with 2 parts sulfur and it will
feed it some silver
Give it to your wife !!!
@@davidlee50 She likes egg rolls better ha ha ha
He is talking about it s habitat
Trumpet plants you make it look so easy and teaching from your education and years of experience it's really priceless information I hope people put it to use
The master at work, you are the real Monker. The real national treasure. Don't ever stop Jeff
thanks
@@Askjeffwilliams
How did the old timers do this? Just from text and photos in a book? It's a serious question. Hollywood and are grade history makes gold miners out to be just a dumb hillbilly. Were the successful ones actually geologists?
Or how did the ancients do it to amass such quantities?
Jeff is the greatest prospector,miner and geologist
thanks
Nice video!
Yep... Jason getting a woodie today over trees... Saw some great tables down in Idaho springs where they opened up 2 old addits... One assayed 8 oz a ton! Mbmm is cool to see the process for sure!
@@breckfreeride we have one mine that has assayed out at 10 OPT
@@Askjeffwilliams Wow that is amazine! Very rare indeed to find .
Jeff, I once found a quartz vein mostly oxidised, It could be limonite, using hcl alone, there was more than 100 grams of silver / 1 kg of that material,, there was also a precipitate (iron and gold mixed) but couldnt separate them ,,, what I am trying to say is that such soils can be very rich in gold and silver,, not sure if an xrf detects that, but if yes, then work on them instead of chasing little nuggets here and there ,, they call that kind (iron complexes) … so all minerals contained are mostly (oxide 1) ( ex. Au2O= Au2+O)
Iron in iron-complexes can not be separated with a magnet, even after roasting; every little particle of that soil is magnetic ,,,
احسنت
Gold doesn't oxidize
@@sachabinky2915 gold oxidises the same way as in aqua regia solution,, the same way, sulphuric acid dissolves minerals including gold under high temperature and pressure deep in earth and comes up to the surface in solution, when sulphuric acid solution (containing gold) meets iron and maybe other metals particles, gold precipitates out as a powder,, exactly the same thing that happens when precipitating gold from aqua regia.. it just happens naturally
love how excited you get when you find gold
I dont watch you as much as I want to, but I always learn so much facts.
love ya Jeff, so awesome to see the channel grow! jelly on your mines but knowledge is power!! keep it up fam
That is so cool. Blows my mind thinking about what that area looked like when all those hydrothermal fluids were flowing.
Maniacal, "it's goooold", laugh ... A+!
That excitement is contagious lol, made my morning waiting for work to start.
Glad to hear it!
I’ve watched a ton of your videos. This was really a good one. Thanks for all the insightful tips. Always the best.
thanks Joey
First time watching your videos. Appreciate your enthusiasm for what you do. And, it’s kinda refreshing to listen to someone who really knows the geology and the geologic activity that happens. Fun stuff dude.
thanks
I was watching the Ballad of Buster Scruggs last night. In All Gold Canyon when the prospector was looking up at the sides of the valley I could imagine your voice describing the different features and mineralizations along with the quartz veins.
Im coming for ya Mr. Pocket!
I worked in exploration and gold mining. Jeff would have been so fun to work with. He knows his stuff for sure and has great teaching abilities. Makes me want to go prospecting.
Man I learn so much watching your videos metal detecting is an art I appreciate the pointers thanks again amigo..
you betcha mi amigo
I haven't checked in for a year or so... which is my loss! Your episodes are always a pleasure to watch, buddy.
Welcome back! Glad you like them
Imagine having Jeff Williams as your science teacher and then going on a field trip. Treasure sure is nice and part of the treasure is the unadulterated moments of joy the search and finding it brings us!
thanks
Beautiful species, Jeff. Awesome as usual. You are living the dream. Thank you for the continued. ed.
Jeff is probably my favorite gold guy on youtube.
You're a trip bro! Love your excitement!! Very entertaining and informative... Appreciate you!!!
Great episode! I love seeing your prospecting process pan out : )
Your videos never get old. ! Thanks for taking me along !
Glad to hear it
I`m fascinated by all that geo-knowledge. With all that know-how you can work smarter, not harder.
That was nothing short of bloody brilliant
i found a place that has a lot of those trumpet plants, you confirm my questions about their being near places that might have gold, thanks. UPDATE: i dug under the largest group of those Trumpet plants, got a good sample of material from under those plants, sure enough finding gold in the sample that i have gone through so far.
Awesome video as usual Jeff! - I used to swear that there was a certain plant in the hydraulic pits in California that was associated with finding gold. If I saw those plants, most of the time I found gold nuggets near them.
So awesome to always a thumbs up 👍your content rocks🤜💥🤛 love the carts at the end train's & detecting cant get no better have a great day Jeff.
Your the best. Great info and the way you present all your knowledge. Thx 😊
you betcha Robert
Great video for beginners, Jeff, thanks! That trumpet plant loves the potassium metasomatism that brings gold with it...
exactly
I was on a 2 day hike in the pacific northwest a while ago and I found a rocky hill that looked like it was stained with iron all over. It was a pretty secluded spot, now I want to go see if I can find some gold there. I've never been prospecting but these videos make me want to try. Even if you don't strike it big, it seems fun
Thank you for the info update on geology n gold.. very interesting..
Great reporting, thanks Jeff.
Love it!!! Very well explained, and weird words that are not Phonetically spelled, are also shown. Very good. Very Good.
Thank you both for sharing these words of wisdom.
Our pleasure!
Excellent video Jeff. I enjoy learning, and expanding my personal knowledge base. Thank you, and bless you... Just my opinion...
Wow this is awesome, I used to see trumpet plants quite often in the desert of the south west.. . But the other day I was out camping and I saw the biggest ones I've ever seen! Didn't know they were associated with Au sometimes. However, the area was mostly calcitic? rock fomr from a former water body. Calcium carbonate. Now I will search a little more closely as there also is a basalt layer.
Your knowledge is great fellow Jedi lol nice to see people dropping solid info
I love you guys. Knowledge and experience with a great sense of humor. Humble kind and cute. Thanks
Wow, thank you!
Classic Jeff what a legend finding gold like its no body's business!
A great way to start out a Saturday! Seeing Beautiful Specimens, with An Awesome Nugget!⛏️⛏️⛏️💯💯💯
Thanks for fun educational video Jeff..👍👍👍
Dam Jeff, that's awesome! I get excited finding a coin. Gosh, I don't know how I would act finding a nugget! Good stuff dude!
Awesome video! Just went out with my medal detector outside of Winslow AZ, no gold, but found two .44 WCF (44-40) casings and a steel band from a water barrel. No gold, but still a good day!
amazing finds, tips, advice and over all great content, ty for sharing.. def won my subscription :D
thanks for the Sub
Awesome Jeff love the education fun and passion you bring to gold Jeff hope all is well over there in those deserts 🏜️ hope to meet you some day
Very nice...My Grandfather was a hard rock miner in the 1910s and 1920s...my father followed him around tobthe various mining hotbspots around the US as a kid. Mybfather grew up in Cripple Creek CO., Butt Montana and Grass Valley, CA. I spent many a holidays with my Grandfather listening to him talk about where there are piles of gold in the ground all over the West..I wish I had the time to search them out...
those areas are still there waiting for someone to go get it
I love yr excitement I can almost feel it from here!..thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
In southeast AZ, if you see clusters of ocotillo plants on hilly terrain, it's one possible indication of underground caverns.
to see how happy you got was that gold rush feeling made me laugh. I Subscribed
YEAH BABY!! WHOO HOO!! Thats what I'm talking about...I hope I find what I am looking for. I was talking to my foster brother yesterday about metal detecting and panning. Im hoping he will go with me. I am going to share your videos with him. I think he will thoroughly enjoy them. Thanks for info, Jeff.
thanks , really appreciate that and you betcha
I dang sure think I'm getting smarter with every video you make 😊I'll keep watching as long as you keep making them
I realy liked the method you used
So detailed even though i don't understand those chemical or something you said but i still watching your video😁
Masterful, thanks Jeff
Cool video! I always wanted to hunt for gold nuggets as a hobby.
Great video Learning a lot. Jeff is vary informative.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video there Jeff and a great find! Our club is getting the top half of 28 so we got 320 acres to explore now. think I'll switch to the smaller coil on my monster.
Thanks for the tips!!
pretty Au-some ....keep us posted
You got me hooked man!
That’s what I’m talking about Sonny Jim..
I will hit that Area with the Minelab 6000 as it love Quartz Specimens..
Put a Nugget Finder Coil 12x9 and you will have it paid off in a day with that amount of gold found in a few days..
Hope you and Lila are doing well Brother..
Cheers Tony 👍⛏️
TONY !!!!! exactly ...... thats what we want to do my brother ...the new Nugget Finders should work great on a 6000 huh
I like gold and love doing things outdoors so I could see myself enjoying doing this.
Hello Jeff. This was a very informative video on eluvial placer deposits and detector settings. Keep these vids coming! Have a great day.
🔥💯🇺🇲⚒️🔥
Thanks, you too!
Jeff Williams you are an incredible character thanks for your enjoyable adventures.
always our pleasure ...thanks
Ask Jeff Williams, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!
thanks
Too good, man. So entertaining.
Thank you, Jeff, and Lila, yes Lila, I saw your shadow!
So, C'mon, Let's Go!
always our pleasure
That's a nice days work brother. Thank you for sharing be safe my friend 🙏
This Channel is AWESOME 🤩
My new favorite, I’m fascinated you can get all that with a detector from the surface. Could I do that in Thailand, or is that something you can only do in the States and Australia?
Thanks in advance. 🙏🏻
Thanks Jeff. I got my book. Ima start reading it tomorrow or the next day. Can’t wait
thats great ...let us know what you think of it
I have found nuggets from the south end to the north end of that placer deposit (8 miles) and the ones with quartz all matched the color of the quartz in your picture. It has a very unique soft luster. If you can find that outcropping you'll discover the Mega Mother Lode, it's there somewhere.
exactly ....we are on it
That's awesome. Good job, Jeff👍⛏️
Good morning Jeff& Lila! Eating cowboy eggs with the shells takes some getting used to.Yeehaw!
Love that Muddy Creek Formation ! Got big and beefy Trumpet plants all over my claim ! And yeah, right on the gold, too ! However, I haven't seen any structures like that. Just a lot of broken samples of Schist / Quartz contacts. Must be in the hills to the west ? 🤔 Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge out there, Brother. Like Button smashed real good !! 🤠⛏️⚒️👍
I know...right .... yes it is my brother .... thanks ....now smash it again
Great video. I was excited too, watching you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks loved it 👍
Good call Jeff!! Gold brings life in creek beds too
It's great to see you again Jeff. I love your videos although you have calmed down a bit. I would love to get out there with you someday. Keep Rockin it!!
Thanks 👍
Fantastic video Jeff. Wish I could just fine a speck with my monster 1000. I am just about to give up on this desert mining. I moved a yard of dirt this weekend and ended up with 0.10 of a gram. I have been at this desert stuff now for three years and it is always the same results. I have my drywasher dialed in but I just can't find any gold. I have been told to dig in a good wash and follow the sings, whatever that means. And I have also been told to stay away from the washes to find gold. I am about done with the desert unless I can get some real help.
keep at it my friend ....its out there ....and if you like we host 3 day Gold mining vtours where our Patrons find tons of Gold
Great lessons. Jeff and videographer Lila. Yes I saw her shadow. Since you had the green horn tour you went out on your own. While the newbies played I need to watch that video . Lost o nuggets. Dreams are made of these
Glad you enjoyed it my brother from another mother ..... vid is on the way my brother
Very cool and very informative
Top marks, thank you team.
Our pleasure!
Nice specimens Jeff!
Thanks for the info
Gets me fired up thanks
Great information Jeff 🤠⛏️ Thank you for sharing with us. That's some good quartz specimens
you betcha
Beautiful pieces!!
Darn nice specimen gold. Top dollar finds!
You are the only one I can think of that might be able to help, when I was a kid in the 70's I got a gold plating kit, I was told it was expensive, I never used much and recently found it, only to discover that most of the plating solution leaked and got absorbed by the cardboard box, any clue on how I might get it out?
Great work mate, have fun, stay cool.
Love the videos, we need some of those old lines we miss the "look at it, do ya see it boy" type of lines.
This was great thank u Jeff. This answered all the questions I was going to ask you lol 😂
Right Jeff I’ve just seen this one come up you beauty I’ll get back to you after I’ve watched it
Thank you, Jeff, for the great info, check all targets the gold can be under false signals. I have followed people detecting and found gold nuggets that they missed.
happens all the time
Ok, that was cool as hell. Definitely go back there😆👍🏻
Wow 👌 loved your excitement 😍 when you found the big piece ❤❤❤
😊 thank you..... that Fever will get you going in the morning
Glad you got out of the mines and back on the surface . Thank again for the video and information. I hope I get to meet you in person one day and thank you personally.
What, about $800 in gold on todays trek? Very nice. Thanks for sharing, Lila and Jeff. ;o)
