- čas přidán 27. 08. 2024
- WHAT a DAY! We show you how to find gold veins and in the process we talk about some gold mining basics. Prospecting for gold ore can be tremendous fun and rewarding if you know what to look for. Rock types, geologic features and subtle clues can help lead you to the gold. When we talk about motherlode gold prospecting we are referring to the bonanza motherlode source of gold that is still locked up in the mountainside! I got quite a few requests to show more dowsing so, today we also take a closer look at dowsing rods usage.

That is some nice Brecciated quartz you are finding there, very nice zone. gold luck my good sir and keep up the great work, cheers from Canada!!
O Canada! Thanks Reg, I am really curious to find out if the brecciated contains any values!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp most certainly, some of that material looks similar to what I found last October just north of Havelock Ontario Canada, I got to check out part of a 500 acre property that is about 5 miles from Cordova mines (they pulled 21,645 ounces of gold out of that mine), just on the roadside there are heavy mineralized quartz exposures, what looks to be a bit of Brecciated material, tons of iron staining, then on another section of the property I found what looks to be silver stringer veins within white quartz. have not had my samples tested nor have I crushed them to see (yet) but hoping to go back up to the site soon, get better and a more plentiful number of samples lol
Loads of great info fam. Keep getting that au fam. Gold squad out!!!
Thanks GS! Searching for gold is what makes us strong, heavy pans!
I just have to say you're such an amazing inspiration to me...I greatly appreciate your way of looking at things on all levels and your killer open mindedness...It's wild the only other person that I've seen use dowsing rods like you is my wife....I hope that someday I have the honor of learning from you face to face "great AU master".
This is a very informative video, thank you from Southern Oregon for the lesson in prospecting.
This is the most interesting investigation using rocks and dowsing, which has history of thousands of years in uses.
Thank you for the support Arlen🙌
Brecciated quartz. Thats a great looking peice. Good luck on the hunt.
It really is purdy! Thanks Kenny, best of luck to you as well!
,,,here from land o' lakes,wi.........here for school.!................tnx,pat...(future gold picker).
Hehe, school is in session! Take your seats!
Maybe your dowsing rods are looking back at us, the viewers, telling you that were your Goldvein.? Think about it. Dousing Rods are more amazing then you may realize . Love your channel.
I was taught. You dont request what you want ! Lol. I've seen this done. He put a small gold nuget in his right hand. It worked for him. Worked well.
I just kinda make it up as I go ;)
🤣👍
I learn so much in these videos! Please keep them coming! Love the brecciated quartz!
Breckiated quartz. That goose claim looks sweet
Certainly a lot of potential there! I've got so many projects going on, hopefully I will have time to dig into this one further!
*Hello my friend and coleagje!! Very nice good adventure. I hope we can have a good frkendship and supporteach other, I give youmy support, Greeting from the Dominican Republic*
People say they dont work because they havent had personal success with dowsing rods. Ive never used them "yet" in gold prospecting but i have used them working on pipeline jobs. They work to find iron and fluids for sure. Im sure gold or even heavy mineralization would work.
I have never done any in depth dowsing research but I do believe that they can detect certain waves, fields and anomalies. I wonder if the people that are most against dowsing have ever tried them? It's pretty spooky seeing them hit on a know water line for the first time!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp i have located 6 inch crude oil lines at 8 ft deep. It takes practice and more practice. Im sure your right. Everyone is an expert on stuff they know nothing about.
Great work
As a sceptic I would like a video on someone hiding a gold nugget and you finding it by dosing
Love your enthusiasm
Hehe, thanks Ian! I'm not exactly a devout dowser but it sure does seem like dowsing rods can react to certain magnetic fields/waves and who knows what else.
Hi thanks for the feedback
I really like watching your geological skills and you explain it well
As a sceptic I would love to see deving work but until then I will treat it as fun
Thanks from down under
@ColoradoGoldCamp the most advanced vedio and advanced equipment I have seen is The TFR-4 Extreem, TFR-2 , AND TFR-1 finds a Silver dime or 2 gram Gold coin at over 1400 feet at 3 foot depth. Texaco Oil wells were found by dowsing, Utah water wells were found with dowsing
Nice place to find gold vein.
Very2 much gold there.
Thank's for video.
I love watching your videos because they teach me so much on what to look for for gold. I just wish I lived near an area like that to prospect for gold. Seeing these videos make me want to quit my job and move to an area like that. I have a bad case of gold fever. I’d rather find it then keep buying paydirt. I believe you call that rock brecciated quartz. Very interesting what those dowsing rods did.
These teaching vids are so appreciated, thank you.
Breakeated Drewsey quarts lol great video lone the knowledge looking it up now
Hehehe, oh yea! Those are good ones to know, come in handy in a variety of situations!
First time watching your videos. I really enjoyed it. Keep up to good work.
Wold really like to come by and check out your operation and maybe next year you’ll off some type of field training we could sign up for. Really appreciate all you do. Such great information
Absolutely, thank you Rich. I do currently offer Guide Service classes and next summer I might organize an educational "Mining Camp"
I joined CGC the other day. I’ll be coming out to try my luck soon
Good deal TRiv! We got some guys digging down there today! I wish you the best of luck and hope to run into you down there sometime soon!
My Dad used to douse for water with willow forks. I’ve used a hollow pendulum that I place a sample of what I seek within. I also use bronze rods with success. I am SOOO glad to see you exposing this technique. IT WORKS! (But ya gotta clear your mind and believe in what you do)
Hi dowsing rod can see treasure r not
Yes, dowsing has generations of use in my family, my dad took forked branch and held it tight and it twisted the bark off in his hands.
What an adventure doing the detective work to locate possibilities of a payday, I think you called it Brachiated cemented together material quartz
Love the video, maybe suggest a Falcon MD20 To take with you while your out there.
I know of a few areas that could potentially come in handy! I just broke down and bought my first pinpointer for metal detecting, so I'm getting closer ;)
@@ColoradoGoldCamp I always bring my md20 everytime I'm out looking at rocks, and allows me to see inside the rock better than anything else
The International Dowsing Society of America is fascinating
😀
Brecciated quartz is coool!
It sure is!
Im a new subscriber and my dad is a dowser and he wants to teach people how to do it too. He wrote a book called The Art Of Dowsing by Mike J Fercik. He has done it all his life and my Grandpa RIP was a dowser too. P.S. you make good videos and keep up the good work looking for that mother load. God Bless You Amen.
Well hello Johnny, am glad to have you here! Sounds like your father is wealth of knowledge. Someone was actually just telling me about that book, I will definitely have to look into it. All the Best!
my great great grand dad found a gold vein with dowsing,,,,,,he got a lot of money out of the vein,,,,,,,,,so dowsing works,,,,,,,
It's awesome to know all of that is in same mountains I live! Its breckiated quarts. Thanks for the extremely informative video! We truly are blessed where we live for geology, even though our claim is getting a foot plus of snow tonight!
Enjoyed watching your video
I am glad, thank you for the support Ken!
I really appreciate you showing your experience with dowsing rods well looking for a gold vein. I too have found what I believe to be a gold vein, however I need to be able to get equipment in there to explore it. I run a dowsing group on Facebook called dowsing for gold silver gems.
I posted this video in there to help teach people more about dowsing for minerals.
I found your demonstration on how to use the rods and finding courts veins that may contain gold to be very enlightening and clear cut. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words David. I am by no means a professional dowser but I do believe that we should use any and all tools to find what it is that we are looking for! Now, I do have a "secret" dowsing success story. Maybe I will share that someday.
Brecciated material... interfiled with gold!!!! Alot of gnarly looking specimens.
(CGC) How does One go about about Learning " Dowsing"? Yes the Dowsing brings a Whole ( New Perspective) to your Channel!!.. Dean Toronto P..S. Micro -Stringers, Brackeated Quartz, Bull Quartz!!
I consider dowsing as another tool in my prospecting arsenal. If it gets you out looking in areas you would otherwise not search, I consider it worthwhile. In prospecting, sometimes you get stuck....don't know where or how to proceed. When I was a kid, an uncle showed me how to dowse. He had me walk over a buried 1" water line and the dowsing rods would cross every single time I crossed over the water line. It was pretty neat!
I tried willow sticks once didnt work
@@diggin3097 I've never used them before but i am "Curious"!! I like the way he calls them (Ouija Sticks)!! Food for Thought- I've heard they Don't really Know were the Origin of the ( Ouija Board and Tarot Cards) came from? Some say Egypt or the Devil..
@@diggin3097 I have heard about V shaped willow stick but have never personally tried.
@@soulcontractor1641 "Ouija Sticks" I like that you caught that! Hehe, probably the devil.... It's pretty weird how they like to move n spin on their own!
That one spot verse wax stuff looks like a great rock!
You should upgrade your dowsing rods to copper .. I use house romex ..leave the insulation on ..except for the tip ends ..3 inches bare copper ..
you don't actually want them free spinning .. The insulation will help bring you to your target .. Happy hunting
Very interesting video
Really colours and lots of minerals you really know your stuff
At 40, I've realized instead of concrete, I should have been a geologist and then a prospector. But well, I'm getting my degree from CZcams guys like yourself. Noob question: what is a "vug" and what is its relevance? Thanks man! Happy to have found ya.
Oh yeah, I'm on the Appalachian side. Western PA.
Brecciated Quartz! Looks amazing!
You're living my dream..thanks for the info
I’m hungry for beans and Cole slaw now. LOL
Beans!!!!!!!
Your dousing rods should be able to set the limits of mineralized area to zone it on. Pattern the hillside and map it. Great video my friend!
Breakiated quartz. My family and I love your videos
So good to hear. Thank you Danet and may you guys have a most wonderful summer!
great job
Thanks Dirk🙌
Good explore.
Thanks Au!
Great video's I enjoy watching them as I am prospecting new ground and learning what to look for. Will you be making a video on processing the ore from your new find? I'm also going to make a couple of Dowsing Rods and give it a go down here in Oz. Cheers Kev
Terry Carters Channel has a video on Dousing the right way and ancient underground civilizations. Robert Shrewsbury has this down. He also explains signal drift and how to compensate. I HIGHLY recommend a look at that if you want to douse for anything.
Thank You !
🙌
A really great video of how to use the dowsing rods. I have used dowsing when finding sapphire and had quite good success especially since often sapphire has been washed down sitting lonesome among a divot between rock. My Grandfather was a fire spotter in the local mountain ranges and used dowsing for gold and water.
New to your channel and I’m excited to find it
Very interesting Kath. Sapphire is "heavy" and will concentrate alongside other heavy minerals.
Hi can u say hw to use it
I like your interests I Gold and Gems, visit the Treasure Finding Rods that has load chambers that can find anything for miles or distances. Like TFR-4 Extreem or TFR- 1 or TFR-2
@ColoradoGoldCamp Arizona is the Richest state for Gems and Minerals, Tucson AZ, Nevada has lots of Gold.
I like that brecciated quartz!
I really appreciate the dowsing rod inclusion. I was skeptical before this video. Imho you can sort of move the rods around without showing you're doing, but you can't make the rods pulsate unless there's something going on. I'll have to grab some rods and try it out!
Brecciated Quartz ftw 🤘🏼⛏🇺🇸
Quick tip you might want to touch on for new areas old timers missed would be fault zones, and associated minerals like copper or iron oxides from reports. Old timers never really knew where all faults were as most are buried.
Definitely good things to look into RM. I've wanted ground penetrating radar for some time now and an army of diggers ;) Just image all of the rich veins that are barely out of sight!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp Jam up the usgs geological maps for your district, they already did all that back in the 60's, when they sent geologists out there I'm sure you have already have. Should be online for downloading. There are buried outcroppings all over on those maps, but a chunk might be sticking out!
Just start digging!
Ya some of that rock looks cool!
Breckiated Quartz... Yureka!!!
Let's hope for the best Scott🙌
That’s beautiful material! You should cab a piece of it and do a giveaway! Brecciated Quartz
Good idea! That brecciated material sure is pretty! What would you make out of it if you could?
that was Drusy quartz, brachiated under pressure. Sure is an awesome looking sample.
Dang I would love to run some of that ore,from start to finish button !!!
Another great video my friend. I use to do locating for a communication company. When the locator would fail we would break out the witchin sticks and find the wire buried in the ground. Its amazing how accurate they are. Anytime theirs a fault in the earth's surface can pick it up. The fault disrupts the earths magnetic field. When your drowsying rods cross you are on a fault. Try coming at it from different directions until you find the edges. I witched the Argo tunnel up at my place and it's a couple thousand feet down. Keep up the good work! Did you go to school for geology?
Very interesting Patrick! I will have to do some testing on known faults in my area. I wonder if you got a reading on a fault, tunnel void or water when you detected the Argo Tunnel? I did not study geology but the natural sciences always came "naturally" to me. I appreciate your support!!
The maps show really close to the location, I follow it and it trends in the right direction and man you really could feel it pull on the witch. I have never tried to use it gold mining, but will try it this summer! It will be interesting to see what you find once the permafrost melts at the location in the video.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
To you as well Monkey!!
,,,,p.s.,,,,,,,also ,(maybe)..this fits in as a conglomerate type?????....I find these mixed rocks here but are quartz and iron rich grannite.......so cool to watch.😐.pat.
Conglomerates and Breccias are quite similar looking. In simple terms, Breccia has angular rocks/fragments and Conglomerates have rounded ones.
Nice
Can you do a video on how to file a claim start to finish?
FASCINATING,CAPTAIN....
First time I've heard that dowsing rods are tuned by the mind to specify desirables.
Brecciated quartz
Indeed!
Hey do you ever do group outings where you take people out and teach them about the different geologies if so I'd be interested for sure I'm always down for learning geology 🤟✌️✅
Breckiated quartz
It's well documented that the Spanish found most of their mines in the west, using Dowsing rods. I've been using them for over forty years for water and minerals. Generally copper rods with copper sleeves for your grips will work best. Rod length should be four times grip length for most prospecting purposes. The principle that is working involves the reaction on positive ion flow in your body from blood transfer and positive and negative ion flow from water or mineral in the ground. Both of these create a ionic magnetic field which is the reaction between your body, the rods and your water or mineral target. Your body has much better contact using copper for minerals. Best results occur when you are not wearing a coat and your elbows are tight against your ribcage bent at ninety degrees. The rods should be pointed at a slight but obvious downward angle which will prevent false rotation from your grip and your balance from the terrain your standing on. Your correct they will cross over your target, but will also move in parallel toward the direction of a larger vein target. In general if your rods are turning backwards toward your body and you turn to the right or left pointed behind you they should follow in parallel pointing in that direction, if they don't then your backward rotation was a false balance error caused by your grip not keeping the rods in the correct slightly downward position. Because the rods are so sensitive they will not work in any windy condition, early morning and dusk are best. Just a note, about eighty percent of people can be successful at dowsing if they try. Those who have a medical issue with their body at the time they attempt will not be successful. The best process to convince a skeptic that dowsing is a skill, is to cut a forked flexible branch from a water willow. the "Y" end will be the grips and the long end will be the target indicator. Hold the branch by the "Y" ends in each hand, like your griping a lever or hand brake with the base long end of the "Y" pointed straight down toward your feet. With elbows pressed to your sides, slowly twist you grip on the "Y" ends inward with both hands, turning toward your chest so the flex will bring the rod tip upward to a oblivious upward angle. Now slowly walk across a flat yard or park, keeping your elbows against your ribs and when your above a water target you will feel a distinct pull toward the ground. Some people are so sensitive to this method that the branch will break from the downward attraction. Wish you well my friend, I think you really have found the golden goose. GLHH
You would have better results with the dousing rod if you put in each hand the object your looking for. Wet gloves for water, gold coins for gold etc. I only say gold coins, because they are much easier to find if you drop one. That is how I was taught.
So then you would dig to find the vein?
I suppose so. I really should have dug down where I was getting the best "signal" by the lower rock cairn.
You have to bring a fisher gold bug pro! Scan the Assad?
I thought veins ran north and south and stringers run east and west ? I'm just curious . I darn sure don't know. Your educating me here!! Thanks so much !!!
Mineralized veins typically emplace fractures, crack, voids and faults in rock that can run in virtually any direction. Cheers Bob!
Your hands move ever so slightly and that’s enough to swing those wires all over the place. Understand that your body and mind form the dowsing biosensor and that your hand movements key into this. To get any meaningful indications you must calibrate yourself to find the object of your search. Be precise. For example, say ‘I want to find a gold-bearing quartz reef with an ore grade of at least 5 g/t. Alternatively you might calibrate to find the biggest nugget in a given area. So you did the right thing describing the target as a gold vein you can dig at near-surface and work profitably. That is fundamental to the success of dowsing.
How do the dowsing rods work? Google search leads to claims that they don’t work but I like to keep an open mind on both sides of the spectrum
It can go for miles and there might be side veins?
Breckiated quartz
What you do is put a gold ring on the floor and get everything electronic away from the dousing rods and walk over it
👍🏻
Use straws over copper dousing rods? Maybe gold rods might find gold?
Breciaed quartz with stringers
Metal interacts with water gold the wind or movement of my hand
Hhh good job
Your such a rock nerd it’s cool rock on
Whatever works!
Here in Australia, we have these huge bull ants that use tussock grass sap to build their nests, it even smells like salt and vinegar chips.
So maybe not bees, do you guys have bull ants?
Take small viles and put a small nugget in each 1 and tape on the end of dowsing rods and it will look for only gold use nuggets from the area if possible, that's what an old timer said ?he said, him and his friends found nuggets every year like that!!!! it has nothing to do with magic its all scientific LOL ! then if you want real power dowsing rods look up TFR Rods he builds custom power long range detectors that will blow your mind!!!! and he uses dowsing rods to find the depth its awesome when your rods cross go from all directions and see how many steps before the rods cross again count your steps from all directions that is close to your depth, if your rods uncross after 5 min. the gold is gone!!!! check out TFR RODS (( I'm not a salesman just someone that does this stuff )) and appreciate your videos
Ache brakiated quarts
Let's break some rocks up
@papi Indeed, let's do that!!
Time to dig !!!!@@
Brecciated Quartz
i was going order some ur 30 box of dirt an rocks
Give it a go JJ. Some nice pieces have been found in that material. Be sure to use plenty of clean water and surfactant as the lode material can be really slimy to pan.
Can search gold this items
My BRECCIATED interweb has me 2 days behind all this inter filled Mineralized Fluid
love your adventures buddy if you need a free helper i'm in
Thanks for the support Dave🙌
How to buy this items
,,,also....please go back here and use your gold bug detector to find nugs that the old timers missed..let us know what you find.😐😐😯
Good idea Pat. The GB2 with the small coil would have the best chance of hitting on some of those veins!
Breakiated quartz
becca quarts
Maybe your on there high grade pile
Awesome show CGC. Thanks for the info. Gooder on the Dowsing. JFKWWG1WGAJFK.
