- This video is part of a "Gold Mining and Mineral Prospecting" course. In this video I talk about another place where gold deposits on creeks and rivers. Showing how rivers that undercut banks can create a rich pay area at the base of the undercuts.
Thank you Dan for the continuous education!!!!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom & posting this lesson.
Dan, you give us all some great education, keep up the good work.
Never seen this information anywhere else but here. Great job!
By the way I sent you a personal message. It should be in your creator section on your channel.
Great lesson! Love it!
Thank you for sharing. Great course! Greetings from Greece.
Thanks! Greetings from Canada.
Great post .. thanks for thinking of us !
Have to say-
You sound and look like John Malkovich ( it's a good thing )
like your vids. you and doc plus alot of 📚.
Good information
It would be good to add a 3rd dimension to the deposit example to include the water pressure(when flooding) in the stretch. Outside bends where cut banks occur are often very high water pressure in the winter and gold blows through. If the cut is exposing an old gold line, it's probably an ancient inside bend deposit.
Hey Dan, happy new year to you and all others.
Here in my live place have a river what's is coming from the mountains with big rocks. In my pan have very much hematite and magnetite + some "microscope" white crystals like a glass.
Is here a chance for gold?
The mountain and that river have FE and CU minerals. The river is not a big river but more like a creek, this river is very rage and big when have heavy rain.
Need keep trying?
And where I need to try more? In black sand or yellow or white sand?
Or maybe I need to use a material from places for example : Behind some tree or big rock?
Thanks and sorry for my bad English.
Thanks Dan for so informative video! May Allah bless you!
Hello Dan. Thank you for sharing your experience. The only thing I did not catch is the meaning of north and south side of tha creek. What is the meaning of this?
The river bank i'm scoping has a 30-40 foot sand hill on top and a decent gravel bar underneath.(probably a 2-3 foot gravel bar) the river cuts through it and pulls the gravel into the bottom of the river. there is a ton of black sand. Would it be better to take samples from the cut itself or from the bottom of the river where it is depositing and being naturally sluiced?
I want to ask when the left side of the river there is a hole from slipping Can it be a gold ??? Thank you Dan
thanks for you , is all river have gold ? and what the percentage of gold in river ? like 10 killo of sand how much contain gold ?
Holy cow, I just notice and realized that that is Dan Hurd.
I thought he sounded familiar.😂😂😂
Then I look at the profile and I realized it is dan Hurd page.😂😂
If you pan on a national forest around here, first you need a permit and one of the main rules is don't dig in the bank. But people don't always follow this law. It's also it against the law to pan in a state park, and that is usually the reason they put the state park there, because of the gold there, the government will claim it first chance they get. There is a state park here in town where some people I knew were panning and finding corn flake size nuggets in the clay in a bend in the creek. Clay is hard to pan but not impossible, it just takes more time.
Got that thanks
Damn I'm starting to get into this and trying to learn as much as I can about where gold deposits and everything I can abt gold. Anyways i gold gold fever but i just hope it dont get this bad that's so crazy man
thank you
You're welcome
Can u use a gold detector
I've actually worked a situation just as described funny enough including the Blue Clay layers. The Clay is actually quite difficult to pan . Must be worked SUPER SLOW or the fine gold can get washed out along with the clay.
Very true
410th 👍
I figured what the hell. Ya never know with Dan. Ya just might learn something new.
Hello Dan! Is it possible that I work with you?
🙂👏👏👏🍻
Does las vegas has gold?
Nevada does have great gold I'm not sure on Las vegas however but I'm sure it's worth a look
+MrLodak I found a place on the top of a mountain. some old time miners we're digging there at las Vegas Fort Apache street. don't know what exactly they we're looking for, but they kind of sliced through the mountain and stopped. I did some research and I believe they saw the gossan redish material and started to dig. can't figure which one is the vein there, some brown, red color vein passes through, but it's very chaotic can't figure what exactly I have to test. But in the bottom the color becomes purple black color. is there any detail information what I have to look for and what did I find?
Hello Dan! Great classes, i have some gold prospecting questions and pictures i would like to share with you from a new gold Fields I have found! I would like your opinions. Do u have an email?
Yup - best way to contact me is on my Dan Hurd Prospecting Facebook Page
Why not talk about getting pay dirt from ancient deposits which may be great distances and even at great heights apart frome current topography. Throw away that chalkl and join prospectors that do benches and old , ancient waterways. You talk about reading a creek or river while it's flowing ..a no brainer. ..What about reading a dry terrain which sometimes barely shows flow didection?
I am teaching high school students and the general public and thus I need to start with the basics
Clay? Hmmm
blue clay has high concentrates of silver
