    Happened to be in the Black Hawk area today when your video dropped!! Had to run up and see if I was the lucky one! Low and behold I was! Found the bag right where you left it. Thanks!! Love the videos! If you're ever up in the Black Hawk area let me know I'd love to meet up!!

    After watching the hard work that goes into mining and extracting precious metals like gold, I understand why my old man always said that the stock market is the closest man has gotten yet to alchemy. Creating stupendous amounts of money out of thin air. Humanity always wanted it easy lol!

      It’s simple like this
      Using the gold standard: GOLD = MONEY
      After exiting the gold standard: PAPER = MONEY

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Almost right..they aren't creating money. They're creating paper that they claim is money. Real money is Gold, Silver, Bitcoin and other commodities valuable for trade. The Fiat garbage they print to infinity is continually becoming more and more worthless every day. That's why it's important to have MONEY thanks for the comment!

    That quartz rock in the center of your video. The one in the video where you had a bucket on each side of it. Dig around that and pick it up out of the way.
    I'll bet there is gold right in the middle of that quartz, and other rocks.

    Nice video! Thanks for taking us along. Do you ever hear if very many of your other quarter gram bag stashes have been found?
    BTW - I'd love to see a the results from a standard river sluice running the tailings of the fluid bed. From my experience with fluid bed separations, I'd expect the fluid bed to be very inefficient. You may have lost a lot of gold!

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  Před 10 měsíci

      It would be impossible to know, but on the river, I'm able to run so much more material through the fluid bed sluice for two reasons, 1) the setup time for the fluid bed is almost zero. Just put in fast flowing water and start shoveling material in. Other sluices require a lot of time find tuning, when I could be using that time to be digging. 2) you don't have to stop feeding the fluid bed sluice, while with a regular sluice with a dream mat or VDR vortex, you can only scoop in a small amount at a time, wasting so much time.
