- On today's adventure, I extract the material from in between flakes of limestone bedrock from an abandoned quarry in search of glacial gold. Today's giveaway is a 1/4 inch bucket classifier! Leave a comment, every video is a giveaway!
Even you getting some AU from cracks like that has inspired me
I liked when you put the brush on the Boulder and a huge 100 pound rock fell down haha! Nice video I enjoyed all of it!
It was barely teetering!
That's right bud, while the hold is nice, the real fun is being out there collecting the material. Good job out there WGR.
As long as it gets me Outdoors!
Cool man! I have been falling behind on videos. Missed a few of your recent ones. Sooo many channels to watch. Nice place.
That's okay bro I totally understand. I'm subscribed to like 500 channels so I know the feeling.
12:48 that's gotta be one of the best kicks I've ever seen, your really showed those rocks who's boss 😂
Rock those rocks!
Always fun looking! Great video!
Thanks!
What another great vid, is the getting out there and trying, thats what prospecting is about mate, good job !! 👍👌
That is a very interesting idea to find gold. I never would have thought of that.
Great work fam. Cool indeed. Keep living the dream fam. Gold squad out!!!
Thanks bro! Will do!
Definitely worth the look! I wouldn't give up on the lime stone yet! Gold is where you find it!⚒🤠🇨🇦
Very true! I have a few more quarries mind.
I've been doing some of the same up at high altitude. Thanks for the video, always informative!! Cheers from CO 🍻⛏
Any luck in your rocks? LOL
@@wisconsingoldrush8270 actually yes! But some of it I had to really crush the good looking peices, but what you are doing is right, keep checking,it's there! Im rewatching now, take a wire brush and it really cleans up the ones wished that you could get wet.
That sound at 5:20 is always such a promising and satisfying sound! Like "What have we got here!?"
@@thewaywardwanderer7249 oh yeah felt the rush here!lol
@@thewaywardwanderer7249 What could be hiding?
Thinking out of the box! Get on the right glacial path and it's possible. Great job explaining...you an organized speaker.
Thanks for the compliment!
Looked promising really was hoping your hunch would have payed off but hey can’t beat a day outdoors exploring
For sure!
That was a great idea looking between the rock layers. Maybe next time you'll strike it rich.
I hope one day i find a rich pocket somewhere!
I've heard of scraping out the material between the lime stone/bedrock layers. Keep it up don't stop just because one time you didn't find anything. I would probably do this more around Major Moraines, or if you knew there were glacier till in the surrounding hillsides. Matter of fact I'm glad I watched this video we all learn things and we all forget things, this will have to be a tidbit of information when I'm searching my soil maps to look for.
One heck of an effort and experiment to find some shinny Nice
If only it had panned out LOL
Thanks for sharing. Yeah thats that’s very interesting. Good idea about the cracks and crevices in the limestone. Never would have thought about looking for gold in that. Too bad you didn’t find any besides those tiny micros. I was hoping you find some gold. That’s stuff was nasty to pans out. Very dirty dirt. Lol. Congratulations to the winners.
It was like potting soil! LOL!
Another learning experience. Love the video as always.
Thanks brother, keep in touch!
Nice work. It’s not easy filming and panning. Love the spirit.
Thanks!
Enjoyed the video thanks for sharing it
Awesome video man! great channel!
The root river has miles of naturally occurring of this type of rock. Great idea.
If you mean the one that flows through Milwaukee, you can email me and we can dig it together?
Dude I love the history this was fantastic and great how ya handle it. And i got ya Wisconsin not Wyoming so i could see why yall dont have the drifts and addits.
Very interesting video. You have a talent to speak and explain things, great job, I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to see more of your videos, mate!! Your empty pan was not disappointing for me, on the contrary, it was a proof, your authentic and honest, I appreciate that. It's a prospectors real live to try and error. I like that. Hello from a Swiss gold prospector 💪🤠👍
Hello brother! And thanks for the compliments! Of course I always show my viewers what I truly find! Thanks for watching!
@@wisconsingoldrush8270 You bet, brother! I mean, what I say. Yeah me too, my videos are maybe not very spectacular like finding ounces in one single crevice, but they are honest and true and I can sleep well. Have a great day, mate 💪🤠👍
Tanks for the class! I’ll definitely put it to use!!! Interesting video I love thinking outside the box Don’t know if you don’t try!! Never a waste trying new spots the and ideas!!I want to hit a couple old gravel pits in my area and test were the old wash plants were set up they processed thousands of tons of material never know unless you try Thanks for another great video and the classifier ✌🏻
Thanks for the classifier! Lol fricking spell check
You're right, testing spots is never a waste! You don't know till you look. Enjoy the classifier, congrats on the win!
I guess you never know where you find gold until ya go and check it out for yourself good luck on the other spots you go and check out
Thanks! One of these days I'll hit a nice pocket
Enjoyed your approach,till next time🍻
I'm currently working in an active limestone mine in western Wisconsin, we just blasted 80k tons of material and I've been saving up the "concentrates" from our wash plant. Every handful of material I test pan, I get at least 100 specs of gold. I've gotta get a cleanup sluice to process it all though.
That gives me hope! I intend to try other spots besides this one, how deep into the ground is the Quarry?
@@wisconsingoldrush8270 its about 40 feet, but it's all crushed together before we wash it so there is no telling exactly where it came from. There is some quarts veins here and there so maybe near that. Once we're done washing im going to explore a little more.
@@da_jimmer Dude you should totally post a video finding gold in limestone because I couldn't find any on youtube at all, you could be the first ever!
Roughly where in Wisconsin? Which county?
@@SnakePlissken-ki2rw polk county
Good hunting mate, I'm sure you'll be on the gold soon. Happy panning 🤙
Thanks, man!
I enjoyed the video, the prospecting adventure was what it was all about..
It dont get better than that, enjoying a cigar and searching for gold.
As long as I'm under the sunshine and trees and not under a roof LOL
Searching cracks, finding cigars... slow your roll Bill Clinton. Geez Louise.
LOL
And now you know!!!!
DeWalt makes a good battery powered vacuum cleaner/shop vac. I have one, works great!
I thought you would have got something there. Happy panning
Thanks, me too
Last weekend I went back to where we rock hounded a couple weeks ago and panned some black sand bars about 15 ft off shore, great material to go through and fun to just kinda sit in the lake while panning, but didn't find much. Worth another try though
Sounds like a great way to cool off! Beach sand is fun material, that black sand sure is dense, isn't it!
great work mate keep it up man
Seemed to be a great idea to me
Better luck next time, see you then.
Awesome video bud
Checking the lime stone was a great idea but I think you’d have better odds on river bedrock like James down there in W. Virginia lol . Where I’m located in Michigan hard to find bedrock, but there’s a lot of gravel bars in the creeks around me .
Wouldn't have considered those spots. Something to consider.
Great videos
Love the Vids Keep it up
Thanks dude! I sure will!
great idea im trying
thank you
Are the cigars to keep skeeters/black flies at bay? 😁 Good video!
They do!
Might’ve been a poor result, but you had an awesome day in the great outdoors👍🏻
Great try man!
It looked potentially promising!
I've thought of this before but never tried
Maybe your spot would be better than this one?
Better luck next time, it was a good idea
The result is (slightly) disappointing but the video is not! I live on limestone and was pretty sure there's no gold here, your video just confirmed it, but I'll keep hoping lol.
Looks like a blast! I'm going to pan the creek in my Dad's back yard. Pretty sure I'll get skunked, but it sounds like a good way to kill time. Sucks Southeast WI doesn't have a lot of options. If you know of any decent places, let me know!
Your creek is as good a guess as any! I haven't found any spots that are particularly better than any others. You either get a couple flakes or Nothing at All. Of course if you are willing to drive, Nugget Lake County Park in Pierce county is the best spot in Wisconsin!
@@wisconsingoldrush8270 I saw your video on Nugget Lake County, and it looked really promising. I'll have to make the trip up there one of these years.
@@kevinpipkorn134 If you ever want to dig together, my email is WisconsinGoldRush@gmail.com I would love to check out that Creek
I'm in Wisconsin too!
Better luck next time.
Searching for gold is like free scratch off tickets anytime you want them. You usually lose, but there's always a chance!
Love Wisconsin.. I live in Wisconsin... Born in Wisconsin....
Just got my first metal detector....
Hope i win...
Just starting gold prospecting at a young age of 62.
If you see my 2 part video on gold, on my channel you will never see things the same, again.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say. Fun video nonetheless.
For sure. Exercise gained!
I remember reading that a majority of hard rock gold veins originate in either metamorphic or volcanic rock maybe a good place to check out if there’s any local Sources near the surface macrostat geology maps is what I look at I definitely think that anything is worth the time for testing I actually saw a few old mines near where I live were discovered during road cuttings it wasn’t even someone looking for
Something
I will have to check out those types of maps! Wisconsin is mostly covered in mounds of glacial till, but I will have to check and see if we have other types of bed rock besides Limestone here
@@wisconsingoldrush8270 yes just like where I am lots of glacial material lots of rocks that didn’t originate here
@@treasurehuntingnewyork5979 Lots of the boulders I see are volcanic rocks from the glaciers. I even saw a boulder the size of a van that had a huge quartz vein going through it. I've been tempted to try metal detecting them in case one came from a large piece of gold vein. I mean who knows? I slave all day for a few flakes from rivers, maybe it would be worth my time?
Bummer, but you never know till you try. The adventure is the biggest reward, and there's no shame in that.
thank you
