We'll never understand consciousness because consciousness is looking to understand itself. The more we learn, the grander our consciousness, and the further away we are from understanding it. It's simply impossible to grasp (in this realm, at least). It's kind of like a dog chasing its tail, but the tail continues to get further and further away every time we try. I got this understanding from an Eckhart Tollé book. If i can find the exact quote and page, I'll come back for an edit. It's an amazing script that I'll never forget. Thanks, Chris, for all that you do. You're authentic, and this world is blessed to have you

There is a place called ( Well I won’t read rules by unfairly naming a Prospectors equipment shop.) I’ll say Prospectors Paddock…. Anyways the market in metal detecting has BOOMED and will continue to Evan get bigger. That’s a great thing for the industry plus everyone as it now shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg to enjoy prospecting. Selling a Sleuth box for $300 that’s cool ? Considering it could pay one back pretty quick no problem. But to see the exact same model online for $57.00 plus $22.50 post in Australia. This is sadly why companies particularly old school ones are struggling to understand that this behaviour will and is seeing the end of traditional business. They have great buying power and need to see the light or the news ain’t great. It’s unreal in a time when business is seriously booming. Cheers yeah buddy make one to suit your area plus make it THAT IF THE GOLD IS ON YOU CAN. HANGE OUT NO DRAMA. COULD EVAN COME UP WITH AN IDEA THAT JUST. IGHT MAKR YOU BIG BUCKS FOR SOME CLEVER INNOVATIONS. 👍👍👍

IF... what you've shown us for silver ores holds true for silver ores in most of the United States.... I've.... Stumbled across so many outcrops of rich silver ore that I feel sick for not realizing it... And worse... It's been enough years that now I have to figure out where I seen all of it... But it makes sense now.

Chris I hike a lot in Northern NV including Virginia City, what would be an excellent durable quality "wand gold detector" that I can pack? Thanks.

I love how the airplane stops you and the rockhound kicks in. Loved it :)

Great video and great information.

I think the quality of the diamond is the important factor are the lab diamonds better for industry ? what if people did not wear jewelry ? what if mined diamonds are just used for sandpaper / grits or polishing agents ...

Keep going!

Liberty Gold is on to a Carlin style deposit at Black Pine Idaho. 3.5mn oz identified so far…

Hi there is a Mine in a small town in Western Australia not far from my small town with the biggest Lithium mine in Australia. This Gold Mine is Producing Millions of Ounces of Gold plus Copper and several rare Earth minerals. Its explanation and formation of Gold and Copper is dry remarkable in how several Major Crustacean events over several major periods in ancient history of Plate tectonics is very cool. I’m sure you are very busy, however if you find the time it could prove to be very interesting to your self and I’m sure your audience. Also in the direct area high levels of Silver are in the region with at least another 10 areas in this local south west corridor that promise to Put WESTERN AUSTRALIA AS TRULY ONE OF THE GREATEST LAND MASSES OF VAST QUANTITIES OF GOLD JUST WAITING TO BE MINED. Plus Melbourne Victoria is looking set to have new major Gold Rushes ….tho not like the Gold Rushes of the past. In Australia known World class mass deposits of Gold is sadly kept out of the hands of any small league player ?? Such is life. Still plenty of Gold and Good living for those who Prospect for a living. Cheers love your channel.❤❤👍👍👍🇦🇺

the stuff i was telling you about turned out to be 2 lbs of the bottom far left in your pic of five -analyzed as 30% gold 70 silver [havent sold it, but its sitting in my safe as guaranteed retirement ] and i know where there is truckloads more without you sharing your knowledge i would have walked right past it and now im set for life TY!!!

almost caught up on 5+ years of your content after watching your video on drywashing almost a year ago,THANK YOU mr ralph you have inspired and educated hundreds of thousands if not millions of people !!well done!!

Chris Ralph, Great Video with History info.

Right on Chris. Great video, and if you care to share.... may I ask how long does it take you to produce a vid like this one? Also, the photo of the 20 or so miners at the Comstock, looking at those fellas...man, they were tough, hard nose, every joint on the body callased and bloody. The amount of pay material they were mining had to be phenomenal because they look like happiest group of miners for sure😁 The bare chested gents banging the chissels were just human and all humans are born sinners and when the Fever incubates the way you know it does, Mr R...The less clothing on an infected fellla,. the less likely hed end up in Mr Comstock's interrogation and reclamation chambers😂Thanks again Chris, really enjoyed this one. Peace🇺🇸👈🏻MAGA

I’m 2.5 hours away! I’ll be there lol!

Most informative from the land down under. 😊

Hi Chris, really enjoyed this video. If you ever get to UC Berkeley check out the Hearst Mining building built by Phoebe Hearst. Its got some beautiful photos of the workings at Virginia City whom the Hearsts had an interest in. One photo shows a pool of mercury the size of a swimming pool - its awesome to behold the magnitude of the mining effoert.

You forgot the Cartwright myth. It's totally counter-factual. Virginia City of TV frame is a cattle town. Heh. Cartwright, if he'd existed, would've sold every cow to Virginia City -- and as a rancher -- he'd be a nobody. Virginia City was an IRISH town -- as was Oakland in the Bay Area. These souls are still recorded in the Census.

The blue leed

Great presentation Chris, thanks for taking the time.

Great video, love getting to see good ore samples. 😊

do you have to crush the piece to powder for asay. ,you should see some remnants go to the side of your pan. ??? ,or like rhyolite micro gold. ???

One of your best videos Chris! Very well done! Thank you for teaching and your dedication to education! Dan Brent

😲

What is the best way to turn that black sulfide into silver and gold (away from acids and cyanide)?? I keep finding it almost everywhere !!

I love how I get to watch your video on the Comstock. And Jeff Williams take on it. Both of you guys gave two awesome takes on the same place. I learned so much from both. I like your laid-back style of explaining. Great job keep up the great work!

It's always a pleasure to roam around the old workings and find great ore specimens just lying around.

Love the old photos. That flywheel was massive. I'm amazed they could make something that large back then.

Oops, missed an edit 😂 Comstock load is crazy stuff.

Enjoyed the whole video as normal but got a kick out of the airplane noise

This was so fun and interesting to watch.

Been in Virginia City quite a bit but never had the chance to prospect there.

Awesome kinda like like kirkland lake ontario have you heard of it ? you would find that interesting

❤❤❤ Love U all!!!

What about roasting your concentrate before melting ?

I just set my Gold Bug up with a 0.8 gram of lead.... The detector coil needed to be Within two inches to detect it ....does that sound about right? What is the smallest piece that you've discovered and at what distance was that.... I'm not going to bother with the tone identification all I need to see is those bars

Hi Chris, I just purchased your book Fist's full of gold and have been loving it! Are you going to any public events that I can get you to sign my copy

Oh Man, I'm a Downieville chapter Clamper , ECV , theres an old town Under that little old mining town too btw

Uv light video

OH here's a tip. IN NEW ENGLAND, ALLHIGH WAYS ARE BUILT IN A ANCIENT RIVER BED. AND ALL CITYS ARE BUILT IN A ANCIENT LAKE BED, RUN OFF LAKES LIKE THE ONES ON THE ST JOHN'S RIVER IN FLORIDA.

Last I knew RODEUM (I THINK I SPELLED IT WRONG)WENT FOR $13,000 DALLORS PER OZ. IT'S USED IN CATALYTIC CONVERTERS.

There is more zinc in the ashes of a tire burner THEN there is in zinc ore

I've got one I'd love for u to see

Maybe carry pocket sized binoculars when out reconnoitering, or maybe even a spotting scope with tripod; have spotted squirrels at 1km with a $60 Simmons scope, and the rings of Saturn.

Hey everyone; Does anyone on Chris' channel know how the set up a Gold Kruzer for mineralized soil? I searching in/ around known gold mines from late 1800s. Ground littered with iron sulfides, rice to bean sized, thank you.

Have you used the GPZ 7000 in hard rock detecting?

Hi Chris! Thank you for your videos, I learn a lot! i hope I will get to buy your book very soon! I would like to ask you what do you thinl about fluid bed sluices like Bazooka or Goldibox or Recon? Have you tried them?

Did the ancient civilization have or use flux. What is the substitute for flux. Please and thank you Great videos...

Hi Chris! Thank you for your videos, I learn a lot! i hope I will get to buy your book very soon! I would like to ask you what do you thinl about fluid bed sluices like Bazooka or Goldibox or Recon? Have you tried them?

When writing a fantasy novel, and you have to become student of geology... thus the hope your story/world can make some sense. Anyways, thanks for the video.
