- Mined out some beautiful Gold bearing Skarn in the Amargosa mines in Death Valley. The Gold is still there. Just have to know what to look for.
Also Death Valleys Oldest Building is there built in 1850 along with the stamp mill that is there.
We collect samples and explain the Geology of an Intrusion related deposit you know what to look for when out in the field .
The Gold is very course and contains wire Gold with large masses
( secondary enrichment )
We use our Fisher Gold Bug 2 metal detector to help find small pockets in the gangue material.
Any Gold we find will be included in the give away to our Premium Patreons throughout each month.

Thank you so much for your support. - Zábava
Knuckleheads... my favorite term for folks who can't respect the rights of others... You go, Jeff!! Love your ability to share knowledge. Geology is fascinating!
I get so excited every time you say "I wanted to show you this", because I know that what's coming next is pure information. Thanks again.
Frig yeah!
Jeff...!
Dude, you are so awesome...!
I'll never be able to say thank you enough for all of
things you have taught me and I'm certain that I will
continue to learn from you...
When everyone else is hoarding any information which
they might have on good spots to go prospecting, which
is impossible to put a price tag on for us newbies, here
you are sharing with all of us for free...
I know that you always have a handful of Jackasses to put
up with for every video you post and I have no doubt that it
gets very old real quick, yet you keep on producing for all of
us who share your love for the Shiny...!
I appreciate everything and all that you do for us Jeff...!
Keep fighting the good fight and I will always have your back
my friend...!
Thank you again and may your bottom always be yellow...!
Jeff, I REALLY enjoyed this video of yours and Slim's(as I do all of them), as there's so much to it! It's history, geology and more! One of the silly things I really like is how you and Slim sign off. "This is Jeff Williams and Sli-i-i-im..." It makes me laugh every time I hear it! The humor you two incorporate with your teaching is a style that I really can appreciate! I listen to you guys every chance I get, and ALWAYS ENJOY !!! Thank you for producing this whole series of videos! I rate it a full 10 out of 10 !!!
Crazy Jeff, love your videos, don't change a thing, just make more!
I learn more here in the last 3 episodes about gold and geology than watching all 7 seasons of Gold Rush! Thanks Jeff and Slim. I LOVE the craziness and education! So AWESOME!!! CZcams needs more channels like this one!
Boy, this is an oldie but goodie Jeff. I'd love to know how those samples panned out!
Jeff Williams you are the best! Keep the gold fever man!
Fantastic episode, thank you for taking us along.
I have noticed that MRDS locates "Amargosa Gold Placers" as an ore body about 13 miles West/Northwest of the cabin in the video. The MRDS map locates it in the flats between the mountains (MRDS Deposit ID 10286240 if you're curious enough to look it up). But it is odd that this is such a historic mining site yet no mention in MRDS. Keep the dream alive Jeff! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
yep we saw that too and there is nothing as far as roads out there so it might be worth a look huh.
Gold, I mean good Ole Jeff is effing excellently awesome !! Slim too. Up here in BC, we got some grand gold of our own .
Sure do some fun lessons from ya , Jeff . Thank you for you.
CHEERS !
The Kung fu opening was great!!!
YES sir Jeff when I first watched your video in chloride Az.i though you had been in the sun to long, but I have had a gold mine claim in Nelson Nevada and I had to let it go because it was time to apply for a patient but I needed four cor samples and all of the people I went to said no THAY EVEAN turned down half partner ship. Keep doing your videos I try to watch them all .
JEFF WILLIAMS, EVERYBODY LOVES YOU!!!
not everybody
OH? that's just a mean old guy talking ignore him
Kung fu intro, pretty funny.. love your videos! Would love you to help me with my mining claims !
Headly Lemar Alright heady thats enough.
James Wilson
Jeff isn’t a loser he’s a geologist and he’s a man of science!
Please stop being so ignorant and rude ! I get sick of this crap from people you did this to me I’d have my friends cane you!
I'm right there with you about the rantin' and ravin'. It boils my blood. I was just in Death Valley riggin' out on the high trails. Great land. Thanks for sharing the history and your humor.
Great video Mr. J . Lots of Educational information. Some of us will never search for gold like you do, but is interesting to travel with you in your videos from far away and learn a few things.
Great camera work by the way. Thanks for your time, we will never forget. Hi slim!!!!!!
In 1852 gold was selling for $10/oz, not $20. So at $2,500/ton that'd be 250 troy ounces per ton.
now its 2000. woooooweeeeeeeee
Tha I you for your videos. I learn so much. My dad use to take us camping when I was young, 60s to look for gold. Now iam older I want to do it again. Thank you so much for all you do. Your the best
Sometimes I think you're just a few french fries short of a full Happy Meal, but damn if your geologic knowledge isn't super keen! I spend more time looking up and learning the terms you use than watching your videos. I learn a lot of information I thought I would never be interested in. You are doing what you intend to do - educate people.
@Maia Kubota So what, dear?
@Maia Kubota I deserve dislikes for complimenting the host in a humorous way? Point to the part on the comment where the bad man touched you...
@Maia Kubota If you're still replying to me, then I must ask - are you 12? What are you on about? Is comprehension not one of your strong points? Should I "meme" it?
@rustytr My sense of humor is dry, but I am certainly not bland - well, lets be honest here, everyone is going to look bland to someone else really. I should have been more direct I guess. I like Jeff. He's silly like me. He's VERY smart about rock stuff. He makes me want to learn new things about rocks. Jeff is good.
@Maia Kubota **You're**
Yes John that is so true as I have found very old maps of some 14 mines less then a mile west of the house but when I went to BLM I was informed that the mines were on the China Lake, Navel Base but I have been entertaining myself by picking up the sand in the yard and running it through a mini sluice to recover the flower gold . I would really like to get the larger stuff .
I miss your videos Jeff! Its been a long time buddy and i think its time to get back into mining after my mining partner died from silicosis just after i met you at desert outfitters in vegas. You used to always be clear about breathing that stuff, John learned the hard way tho. Take care Jeff, cant wait to get my mining back on!!!!
Hi Jeff, Lots of history out there yet to be discovered. Thanks for the great geology lesson. Keep up the great work! Say hi to Silver Spurs Lila, Pops, Nevada Jack, and Slim. Take care my busy friend.
A forget for right reasons old mine Whit interessant story of and Rich of gold, u lucky stay almost "closer" that area. I'm stopping my activity for couple months because my wife just comeback from hospital after a stroke 😞, she's need help now but I still follow you always, I'm learning everything from u, thanks Jeff.
We love your show , what an actor and a true expert !
thanks
!!!YEAY!!! another Ask Jeff and Slim video to enjoy made my day thanks Jeff
Whenever im feeling down i put on a Jeff Williams video and im instantly laughing!
Jeff, I really enjoy the lessons in the geology of gold. Thanks to you & Slim!
Very Educational ! Keep up the good work Jeff !
171,300 tons of gold (5.4816e+9 ounces) mined so far. We were born in the wrong era. People used to walk down to the river to wash up and grab an ounce nugget an then another... Those times were tough though and the price of gold was low :/ $20 per ounce back in 1850 was huge.. Stockpiled gold drove the price to $1600 and certain people are set.
I LOVE JEFF, FUN, HONEST, HARD WORKING, learn a lot!! U MAKE ME HAPPY, AND WANT TO GOOOOOLD!!
Thanks Kathy....and you know what I am gonna say huh
Great video Jeff. Very informative! Thanks for all the hard work. (Big thumbs up)
What an excellent balance of geology, history and touching lunacy. And you filmed in my favorite place, Death Valley! I hadn’t visited the Amargosa area and am so appreciative that you took us along with you! Truly interesting!
Thanks Carla
Nice gold man! Thanks for all the good gold geology information. The more you can teach us greenhorns about all that the better.
I love that you know your history, the story, and educating us on what to look for.
thanks
Jeff. Question. If there is gold still out there why are there no big companies mining? And how come in the video there are no people out walking around mining for fun? Just seems like if a place had gold...... people would be around. And another GREAT VIDEO! I love the history you bring. One of these days the History channel or Travel channel is going to pick you up. Just wait and see.
thanks Jeff and crew, great video can't wait for the next one.
Ha ha "Young Au", nice little play on the periodic chart there
Dude, you’re awesome. So informative and entertaining. I wish I was a fraction as knowledgeable as you. You got a new sub/fan.
Frig yeah !
We are so lucky, even us that don't plan on mining gold, to have your incites on CZcams. The information you supply is invaluable to those who do plan on looking for gold. You make it fun to watch, and very interesting, as well. Thank you for your unique way of video taping. And for your Buddie Slim, too!!
I was wondering if you (Jeff or readers) ever heard of a treasure story about the south end of the park called Siberian Red's lost gold ledge. This is a fascinating story; it once appeared in a treasure magazine circa 1970's; I have been unable to find the full story again on the internet. It was supposed to be in the vicinity of Manly Peak. We went out there once in a scouting trip in the early 80's, in the winter. We met a hermit living on the mountainside who had once met one of the men in the story. He said he believed the story, but thought the chances of re-finding it were slim. The rich ore was supposed to look like cement-grey rock, until it was crushed up and the gold appeared.
yes that story is real.
Thank you for sharing history and places
very interesting and educational as always. I would love to fly out there and see that site.
When I watched your first video I thought you were a bit nuts, but brother your geology is on point. Now I watch all I can find. I use to go all over when i lived in California, I've been in Nevada since '98 and haven't been out in about in Las Vegas yet.
thanks Frank ....we get that a lot ....got more on the way that your gonna love
Your vids are the best I was pissed off about something before I put this one on,, it cheered me right up,, and I learn something every time I watch thanks keep it up..
Cool video, love hearing the history. Neat stuff! Thanks.
Excellent video, packed with good data and useful information. I will be prospecting a bit above that area in 6 weeks so this was a good primer. Thanks.
I love these historical videos you put out.
Thanks Debbie.
Another great video Jeff, you are one funny dude and very informative. I have a sense of humor much like yours, and my brother says the same thing. He now has the gold fever like me from watching your video's. Well done Man. :)
we need more ppl like jeff williams...
and a lot more videos!
one of your most enjoyable vids yet. great job love it!
Thanks for the history lession, and it made my day.
I love all the history and geology too. Thanks Jeff!
Great work Jeff, you are very informative and fun to watch.
another great episode. thanks for the lesson.
one of my favorite videos from your collection. bravo
Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. They're very interesting and educational. I love your comedy too!
Unfortunately we don't have gold in Kentucky--not even in Fort Knox.
you betcha my friend. Glad to hear that and yes we know.
Hello Jeff! :) So happened upon your pages and found what FUN they are! I`m not a miner or treasure hunter but you sure make it look like allot of fun! I just might have to give it a try sometime, put it on my bucket list so to speak. I do like gold! haha and ho doesn`t, right?! Anyway, just wanted you to know your playful ways are appreciated and made my day smile ;)
Incredible land. Great history.
Thanks for your time and effort in making this a great video!
you betcha my friend we had a lot of fun doing it
@@Askjeffwilliams I'd bet the mine and the mule on it!! Lol
GREAT SHOW JEFF GIVE IT 100+++ THANKS JEFF...
Love your vids like these .. Happy i found em
Jeff, please put subtitles, we miserable of Brazil, we also want to learn from your teachings, we want to prospect, and you teach a lot.
We put the video very slow and we passed the translator over, to read phrase by phrase, CZcams has locked the direct translations to third world countries, here we live in the 18th century.
Imperialism, and operation.
So put the videos with subtitle.
I'm learning a lot from those with subtitles.
Congratulations on your work, God bless you.
I feel your pain I am USA, but still I need to learn what he is saying. Best wishes from Oregon USA!
Nice sample!!another awesome video!!
Thank you for your insight and the amazing views of the scenery. I trained for desert warfare not all that far from there. I did the training in the heart of summer. Your warning about the heat should be a lesson and respected by all. That environment is no play area for a novice. Again, I enjoy your videos and thank you. PS. Why is it Slim never helps..................
Your the best Jeff, keep up the great videos.
There once was a man name of Slim, who was tall and lanky and quite thin. He dug him some gold while growing so old his eyebrows grow right past his brim, he said I can't see, is that a rock or a tree and fell to the ground with a thud, the gold nugs it weren't, was water and dirt with his face stuck right in the mud. signed Brickhouse, (oh! and this was posted as humor)
This was wonderful! Thanks!
Jeff, you took my spot. I was going to explore those mountains when I headed back home to the desert. Maybe I'll see you there. Now I know what to look for.
Thanks for the knowledge Jeff. I want to know as much as you someday.
Excellent
Truly enjoyed the geological adventure, very
Nice 👍🏻...
you guys are great. . thanks for video
Thank you Jeff & Slim, I live in Argus Ca, so I am going to check this out as it is close .
You are great so thank you and don't forget to feed Slim .
mike ashford Hey Mike grew up in Trona, you have gold back up Argus Canyon, but dig quick it's on China Lake
He done waited too late to feed slim
Thanks for the history lesson Jeff I love history and thanks for the video...thumbs up Jeff from Pennsylvania
think i might have been the 97cadian, love this stuff.. very informative, comical and you are having a great time.. love it
snatch the nugget from my hand grasshopper...always good Jeff..thanks
Great video, Thanks Jeff.
Epic man you rock ! 🎉😮⛏🔥🏂🫦🍔🍔🍾🥧🚴🎁🧃🐉🍀🍀🍀🛹🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
thanks
I love the history behind all this stuff and I completely agree with you that I can't stand people who think they're so special they can destroy the history of others just for their own enjoyment not to mention their myopic scope of reality...
Thank you! all I have learned from you is amazing.
found couple handfuls of iron ore just sitting in the gulch of sucker gulch in Arizona.
finding gold everytime we go out.
I would send pictures but no where to attach.
hi Kyle thanks and we are really happy to hear that and try sending the pics to www.explorenevada@yahoo.com
way to go Yung Au aka jeff , great info on them rocks & history you guys come a long ways on theise vids i thank you,
Jeff the geology of mine was fantastic but I'm still out here in the middle of desert I don't have colors like that I just have brown seeing but I love the geology and the snapshot of the gold up there that was breathtaking I loved it
Great video, always fun and informative. Thanks for sharing, tell Slim Hello.
Lol on the hommage to Caines trek up the sand dunes...👍🍀
Outstanding video, really great history and teaching. That gold you sussed out was so damn pretty! Wild feral gold never tampered with by the rivers!
Great video, thx for sharing 👍
Good acting and editing at intro Sir Jef... 👍
Another great video, Jeff. Definitely worth the investment for all the knowledge learned. Okay everyone time to pony up $10.00 to keep all these dreams alive. As Jeff is so fond of saying. "Come on let's go!!!!!" Jeffs going to need a new pair of boots the way he runs around. He already has worked Slim to the bone.
Tanks Corky really appreciate that and glad you like what we do and yes we hope more people get involved with our Patreon program www.patreon.com/askJeffWilliams
Loved this video! Thank you!
you betcha Wayne and Monica and thank you again for becoming Patrons and helping me and Slim keep the Dream alive
Your show is mega educational! Amazing stuff!beautiful country too
Thanks
Keep the great content coming, Grasshopper.
Gee how many people you thank. Big production Jeff
thanks
Great Video. I would love to see you do a video on the mystery smelter in the San Bernardino National Forest. The smelter is in Rattlesnake Canyon a few miles down from the Rose Mine which was a large producing mine around which an entire town was born (which no longer exists) anyway the smelter which I stumbled across while out exploring is said to predate any white explorers or prospectors to the area. Some have speculated that it may be from the Spanish Conquistadores but no evidence has been found that i am aware to substantiate that theory. There is also a old stamp mill in the area that neither the forest service, library or BLM know about. I found it while out metal detecting and exploring. Everything is collapsed but still there so I am keeping that one to myself to preserve the site.
thanks for the history lesson! now let's get some gold! !!!!!!!!
Nice little commentary on history Jeff. I agree.
Very interesting great video Jeff!
great cinematography you'll be a million subs in no time
That was pretty good payout for a small sample. I would stay around there and work on that for bit.
Found it on google earth. Really neat looking area, I could spends years just looking around, too bad I'm a few thousand miles away. Thanks for another great, informative vid.
cool video Jeff , that is some good bearing Skarn out there . there's a lot more out there too. Yeah you're right about those vandals they destroy history I seen Lot of history gone , Thanks for the video
Jeff,
Thanks for keeping my dream alive.
