Where did the water come from on top of the mountain?

Beautiful Butte MT lol

sickening...

This could do a better job of addressing the consequences of pollution and toxicity. The effects are still shown today in high levels of pollution in land and water from the minerals unearthed in the process, including all the way down to the SF Bay. See, for example: pubs.usgs.gov/publication/70156310. Otherwise, a great resource to teach students about what hydraulic mining was.

Holy crap... I hope my nuggets are that big.🥸

This might not really sound true but im related to the man who found the nugget my grandma's mum had the nugget before giving it to the Sydney museum. I also have 9 of his photographs he took back before he found the nugget.

This version of events is completely false.

I wish this was accurate but it is not. They were mining the hope mine when they found gold. The mines owner had already arranged to sell it to another syndicate but holterman heard about a find from the workers and rushed off to offer the owner a higher price which was accepted. Then the specimen appeared. While it was not the largest nugget supposedly as victorians will tell you, the specimen actually was not carefully removed and lumps of pure gold broke off and those were larger than the welcome stranger itself. I was in these mines as a lad on hawkins hill. Holterman funded beyer to travel nsw in a caravan to make photographic documentary of the goldfeilds life. These were on glass slides which were found in Holtermans mansion in north sydney and are now in the state library. You can see them in the book gold and silver. His mansion had a giant stain glass window of him and the nugget. He became a politician and his home later became a girls school

Check out the horseshoe bend on the bridge river near the confluence of the Yallakom River in British Columbia Canada ..About a 30-minute drive west on Hwy 40 out of Lillooet BC..In 1896, the Bridge River Gold Mining Co. developed a hydraulic mine at the Horseshoe Bend on Bridge River. The largest Bridge River nugget discovered weighed 32 ounces. was found in the east end of Horseshoe bend in the deep pool (Good fishing in that pool too)..This part of the Bridge River just happened to be on my 400+ square mile registered trapline which I owned and operated for well over 30 long years...

I worked on one of the largest bucket line dredges in north america. Yuba placer goldfields in 1988. A really cool experience. Dredging for gold and having SR-71's take off over your head.

Very cool video! I enjoyed watching, thank you

Sounds like an old washing machine.

Bring back dredging in California. It has minimal environmental impact and is great for fish populations. The environmental Mafia halted dredging to study its effects and never finished the study nor allowed dredging to resume. It's just deceitful.

What a load of bull. Well strange was the biggest, I know the grandson who is in his 70s.

There were two gold dredges that opersted along the American River between present day Rancho Cordova and Natomas. Eventually they turned southwsrd towards White Rock. While I was in High s hool in the 1960's we used to exore one abandonded dredge still floating in its captive pond near Sunrise and White Rock roads south of Natomas. They were huge. There was still the remains of one on my last visit in the late 1980's but I'm sure its all gone by now. They were pretty awesome machines!

Ogle mine as a main source....B.S.. THATS ALL IM SAYING.

Beautiful collection my looks like half of this so far

Very cool video . New to the channel and really like what I see .

Tony's bought one but it was shut down due to the same reason why all of the were scraped or abandoned.

It blows my mind that land is referred to as an "overburden". If anything humans are the overburden. Thanks for the informational video.

wow........this is why we need rules.........

Saw the tailings mud from a dredge machine on the Mackenzie River circa 1900. It looked like it came from a giant tube of toothpaste.

16th thumb 👍up. None of those look like they were ever in water very long if ever. Nice pieces. SUBBED YA 👍👍

I got an email from Rare Gold Nuggets to come and check out the video thanks for the invite and no I'm not a subscriber but here's something I subscribe to There was a time you might remember The measure of a man Not by the types of clothes he wore Or the gold upon his hand His hands were rough and callused His face was wet with sweat And when we gave his word back then It's as good as gold you bet Our worlds completely backwards It makes no sense you see When lawyers protect the criminals And judges set them free When doctors are paid to keep us sick Without a cure in sight And schools don't teach us anything Only to read and write The priest molest the children The church just buries it The police just turn the other way They don't give a shit The governments of the nations Deceive us yes it's true Lies and manipulation control the masses That's what they do There's trouble it's been brewing For a long long while They tell you what you can do They really cramp our style Vaccinations for the nations It's so we all don't get sick Mass extermination Now that's their hidden trick They continue to take and kill us With the food that we eat Our breads not bread our milk's not milk And no more real meat Our fate has been determined We all are on their list And for sure as we go to war There's something we have missed 911 was a false flag And yes it's a plot to rob us all To take away our liberty And for justice we did call And so the poor were sent to war Not for justice but for oil And like the frog were in a fog As the water begins to boil But don't worry it gets better Or so the story goes JFK was killed that day By a single sniper now you know LBJ has had his way And not one thing was done you see And now the sights are trained on us I'm saying you and me First weapons registration That's how they take control Then mass confiscation Of just the bad guns we are told And soon the population Has no hope now don't you see We have no arms to protect ourselves From this tyranny So grab your guns and arm yourselves Or prepare to die There's no justice in this world No matter how hard you cry For tears don't stop the madness when Bullets begin to fly You may as well bend over now And kiss your ass good bye

They did him dirty.

There's more sources than that one mine.

I'm watching this because it was linked with my online school aka zoom XDDD

we snorkeled for fishing lures,Found a weather balloon on the snowline... I grew up there..."GOLD" ? i would never say.

Awesome video, I subbed 😁🤟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍😀👋🔔👈🙏..

many years ago I panned along this river an did quite well , but thats 20 plus years ago

This shit ruined California

Chills

I visited my cousin in Fairbanks Alaska back in 1980. He knew where an old abandoned one was. We spent an hour or so exploring it.

I live by a small handful of them, infact, just a couple hours ago I went walking about one of 'em. If anyone wants to see one in action: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKq7i2uAdt2dhqs kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4DUanx9abqLfdE

The severe-looking dude in the centre of the pic at 1:38 is my Great Grand-uncle Richard Ormsby Kerr. Bernhardt Holtermann (2nd from our left) was the mine manager and was a very wealthy man. If you wish to see some outstanding wet-plate photos of the era go to this link www.sl.nsw.gov.au/stories/holtermann-collection

I would just buy all food in the market and NEVER go to work 🤣

hey i would love to talk to you face to face my famely owens some of the dreadged property of the all time famous alder gulch i know were three of the hulls are my nane is dave contact me next time your in montana till then tap her lite

Coil vid just subscribed

I was somewhere in Oregon years ago and spied a sign that advertised steam train rides ahead. Never having ridden one I had to try it so I jumped off and rode their humble but lovely narrow gauge train. It was a single, straight track that ran a mile or two into the hills and dead-ended at an abandoned work site, in the center of which was one of these monster dredges. We all disembarked and were free to walk about and board the dredge if we liked while the train turned around or whatever... But this dredge was the most amazing thing I had ever seen!

It was in an old tailings pile. The same tailings had been ran 3 times previously but Mark Stratton installed riffles between the feed box and drum on their trommel and they started recovering bigger pieces of gold. The Stratton family were forced off of the land they had lived on for 3 generations by the federal government a few years after finding this nugget.

Waaaaaaaooooo Keren Bos Disubscribe yaaaa Bos

Placer is pronounced more like the word _placenta_ than the word _place._ What a find though.

im from canada like to try to run a dredge can someone help me i like montana not to far away

Must be nice to just go out in the open and start prospecting/panning. For some reason raw gold nuggets are really hard to come by here,and by "here" i mean trough bullion dealers. Very cool nuggets,subbed.

I have raw gold from underground somewhere my late father worked, found the good size rock in the shed out back, how much would a shinny size of 250gram mixed of gold and rock, I put the rock in a box and hit it with a hammer and shattered, the one rock that is 250grams remained and I gathered the sand/pebbles in a tray, then put it all in a safety deposit box, thinking might be worth something, any idea or help would be appreciated ✌🏼️
