Alaska fossil hunting is Epoch!

In this video, Jordan and Ilaura (aka the Gold Daughters) spend an afternoon unearthing Ice Age fossils from the largest fossil deposit in the world at The Boneyard Alaska.
When the Gold Daughters aren't prospecting for gold during the Alaskan summer, they are hunting for remnants of the Ice Age. What lessons can we learn from the permafrost and the extinction event that took place here?
Stay tuned...

I could literally see you guys being more popular than Duck Dynasty. This is so much more entertaining to watch, and you all are funny and quirky. Makes it silly and fun to watch. John the Dad is one of the funniest too. I am obsessed. Of course thanks to Joe Rogan I watch him a lot. Or I may not have ever heard of you guys.

[@aaronisham9700]

Jre brought me here

[@PioneerPauly]

That is just soo freakin cool!!

[@golddaughters70]

It really is! I wonder what we will find today!

[@bearbrainedadventures7279]

Yahooooo 🤙🔥💖🔥

[@alansinton9448]

Thanks so much on bringing this to light ❤. I can't stop watching

[@lonnygehring3043]

Great family that works well together. Thanks for bringing us along on such a great adventure!

[@heer3379]

It’s amazing that a place like this exists and to think that their could be other places like it.

[@kimberlywise4103]

What a wonderful 'armchair' EPOCH adventure into the Ice Age! I thoroughly enjoyed taking this moment to connect with the past and the present! Thanks, family! You guys ROCK...EVERYBODY!

[@golddaughters70]

You ROCK!

[@LoneWaffles]

I could watch you guys do this all day. Love your channel!

[@DarkLordofTheSith69]

Rogan sent me here

[@JeffDarwell]

I'm really glad you started posting these longer videos. What you all have up there is amazing, and it's great to have an opportunity to see it more up close.

[@golddaughters70]

Thank you for watching!

[@crystalphife5308]

Ohhh Fancy! Looks like a fun day for sure.

[@golddaughters70]

Super fun for sure:) Thanks for watching!

[@cleoknight9204]

Put on your rubbers when ya go bone n that's a must for sure.. Can't wait to see what y'all find

[@stanleykongmanmathis1065]

Very very cool stuff... Fossils...i enjoyed every bit of this video...thanks

[@golddaughters70]

Thanks for watching! Can't wait to get back out there and see what we find next

[@alaskankare]

I love how he has letting the water melt it is the safest way to expose them... they dig.

[@timothysheetz1235]

Totally hooked on the boneyard!! That hole is a foramen, naturally occurring opening in bone that allows blood vessels and nerve bundles to pass through. Thanks so much for sharing the adventures!!

[@sentient8146]

Cool info Bubba!

[@claytonbruner1808]

what a privilege to be able to see the relics you're pulling from the muck of history. What I wouldn't give to be a part of such interesting work.

[@mckdar01]

Love to the ol man, Great appearance on JRE

[@EddiXP]

Man I love yalls dad. Such a kind family. Couldn't happened to a better family

[@joannhempen8210]

This was absolutely awesome AF! Loved & Subbed!!!!! I will be binge watching all videos! Lol

[@joeisabella6811]

Literally sitting here sorting through some mammoth ivory pieces for a couple projects while watching you guys having the real fun!!! Ya'll are awesome 🤘💜

[@sherrykendrick1765]

Now this is something i would love to try. Cool.

[@scottgoldsbery3154]

Absolutely beautiful 👍

[@Mikero421]

This answers the "Have you found a dude?" question. Great job!

[@iamnegan1515]

Lol. Cavegirls. Looks like fun.

[@jndwendy]

Fun!

[@leloupprospecteur5651]

C'est excellent ! 👌👍👍👍

your way with the pump is really efficient my friend. Goog job.

[@Johndada517]

This is just amazing to see

[@julihenry1012]

Amazing adventures

[@tristanwilliams4180]

The bone with a hole is probably a necklace piece from our ancient ancestors, but this is a good find my dudette

[@369motoman]

Amazing! Been following you and your dad on IG, super cool to see some vids :0

[@golddaughters70]

Very cool. Thanks for following along!

[@centeroftheearthmining4095]

Wow!!! Awesome!!!!

[@golddaughters70]

Woohoo, thanks for watching!

[@Itjustis123]

Some serious cataclysmic event buried all those animals at the same time! Thats a scary thought.

[@Johnnychi123]

Saw your dad on JRE. I’m hooked!

[@icemanbtlr25]

Epic

[@fionabender1882]

I love you guys it's awesome how much care your taking, most people in the gold industry would most likely dump it all to get at the gold your dad's a true visionary lots of love from Australia

[@sentient8146]

Idk Fiona but I’d bet some of that stuff is worth BIG money. Wouldn’t you love to have a fossilized mammoth tusk or saber tooth tiger skull or sumpin? I went to Wyoming a few months back and went to sites where you can find a lot of 50 million year old fish fossils and another spot where you can easily find 500 million year old Trilobite fossils. You pay $25 for a day and you can find all you can carry out. There is a caveat that you don’t get to keep the really unique things like birds or turtles. I go to Florida and SC to find/look for megalodon shark teeth or even mammoth tusk if your lucky… I will say that I don’t think the stuff coming out of the permafrost are true fossils because they haven’t been mineralized, just preserved in the ice. I might be wrong but still Still very cool..

[@fionabender1882]

@@sentient8146 I agree they're not fossils but still awesome nonetheless like U said imagine having Saber tooth tiger or step bison skulls on your wall, f#$kn awesome!!!!! When I lived in Melbourne I used to go to a place where you can finds fossilized shark teeth,( megs' if you're lucky) whale n dolphin teeth ( a guy actually found one of the biggest whale teeth in the world it was the size of a 2L Coke bottle, the place is called Beaumaris in Victoria look it up

[@Lavavereisung]

Last video was a year ago 😊… Now after the JR Show u guys can turn that into sth regular and widerspread. Love the clips, your vibes and attitude ! Keep going, looks like THE perfect hobby! I d like to do that Greetings from Berlin, Germany

[@grant3hanson]

im geeking

[@julihenry1012]

Glad you all got Da Boots!!

[@stanleykongmanmathis1065]

You guys should take some small hand tools with you...so cool..

[@golddaughters70]

Haha! You're right, small hand tools would be helpful. But why use tools when using rocks and your hands just feels soooo good?

[@mipada10]

I watched John’s interview on JRE. So interesting, all the bones compiled in such a small area.

[@ianc3934]

5:40 thats soooooooo cool

[@quantum8037]

nice...👌

[@golddaughters70]

:) Thanks!

[@camsshaft]

Can't get enough of this! Where do I apply for a job with the family!?

[@jesusoftheapes]

cave man tool find is legendary. Have you ever found more tools like that?

[@roorozco4517]

👍🏼

[@hiepbui8796]

Fits right in with the younger dryas impact theory…

[@Micha3lHinrichs]

Imagine how many more areas there are in Alaska with even larger collections. I own 160 there East of Fairbanks. Extremely remote. I know what I’ll be doing this Summer :)

[@JustinCase807]

Year later.. did you find anything?

[@ivanzenkevich]

классно) привет из России

[@KINGH4L0]

I wish knew about this. I would funded a set of GoPro’s with fantastic image stabilization. 😅.

[@SailorEffinMoon]

Gotta admit it hurts a little bit watching them just casually dig this stuff up. Should get some professionals in there to test everything. There's answers in there, I can feel it.

[@hayseed65]

The "pros" that did come in there stole all the shit and took it to NY, sold it out the backdoor, and told the world they dumped it in the East River out of spite. F*ck the "pros". These girls been doing this their whole life. They are the real pros.

[@BrodyLuv2]

Professionals? To hide everything..? Nope.

[@amcleivam]

I'm glad you know the significance of that bone if that is in fact a drill hole. Hope you have that looked at. May be worth the $400 to have carbon-14'd. Very interested to know what happens with that piece.

[@saltpeter7429]

He knows. And he knows just how much of a super duper popular topic that is with some people involved with the "need to know dissemination market". Keeping his cards close to his chest for a reason. Science and history is a potentially loaded topic.

[@ew1421]

Very cool! I fossil hunt on the rivers of Oklahoma out of an airboat. I have found several Mastodon bones including a scapula, partial scull, leg bones, and teeth. Also find a lot of spear points and buffalo bones. I was thinking about taking people on fossil hunting trips but not sure if there would be interest. Let me know what you think?

[@karlkahmann4035]

I’d pay a couple of hundred for a boat ride lookin for fossils for sure

[@BranNew1]

I’d like to come and work with you guys for the 2023 season. 😊

[@fionabender1882]

Me too

[@dirtmagnet9490]

And who says girls don't like playing in the dirt! Just a suggestion... flat bladed screwdriver works pretty good ( in place of your fingers and hands don't get as cold messin with the ice!) Love your vids, keep them coming

[@michaelzimmerman9221]

Gotta have your rubbers on when you go boning! That’s what she said! Lmbo!

[@pauljohnson-om5jr]

What item is the piece In the thumbnail for the video? Its the small palm sized piece that has two slightly tubed shaped holes in it but smooth on the underside with a groove or two. My 8yr old son found a very similar item on our local beach a couple of months ago. We are both very curious. Thanks

[@janetebert-powell8527]

Thank you Joe Rogan ! Love this so much ! Thank you Gold Daughters for your hard work 💛 but why can't I watch the documentary ? Does anyone know how to get to it ? I'm in an android maybe that's why. I'll check it out on my TV . I'm so fascinated ! HERCULES HERCULES!

[@djlancer88]

So about how far below like topsoil for that area is it?

[@PeteV80]

Please bring in paleontologists and archaeologists to categorize finds, map stratigraphy, and preserve context. You could be unearthing the story of the peopling of the Americas and washing it away in a stream of debris. So vitally important to history.

[@billymitchem5256]

You just answered my question

[@McfcMancs]

Is John Reeves your father? I watched his podcast with Joe Rogan. What a unique character John is. Such a great story. 👏

[@rustynew9592]

epoch or epic? Both would work fine, just curious which way you meant.

[@MikeJones-mf2fw]

Do y'all ever find gold nuggets just by chance when boning?

[@OttoMack1]

Both ladies are very cute.

[@SirZar]

maybe that place was outback of a butcher shop.... like where do they put all the bones from the butcher places now?

[@robertparker3580]

hot!!!!!!!!!!

[@LMA029A3]

Do you ever worry about unleashing something from the soil? Do you ever test the soil?

[@nicholasbrandl8990]

Judging by the trees, the ice age was warmer.

[@innerg6164]

U should look into mud fossil university. 🙌🏽 u would be looking twice at those rocks aka fossils 🫶🏽

[@1planters]

I thought fossil hunting and keeping in Alaska was highly restricted. Is that only the case I'm public lands and not on land you own?

[@andrewherbert7108]

I remember John saying on Rogan podcast that this is his land bought and paid for so he can do what he wants. However if it was federal land (i think he called it that) it is very restricted or not possile.

[@user-zr8mn3pt8f]

I NEVER wear my rubbers when I go boning!!!

[@chrismcconnell6163]

Are you going to glue them together

[@johndaut2838]

Where do I buy a Bison horn or skull

[@1bcordell]

"Put your rubbers on when you go bonin'." That's what he said.

[@nickford5549]

The wood pieces are def something to look at, ppl pay tons of money for “old growth “ beams from barns never mind ice age wood

[@troybartlett2718]

My question is first of all I'm not very tech-savvy do you sell the stuff like the mammoth bones and how do we get a number to contact you

[@keithbyrne4872]

Cant find the boneyard documentary. Just a still but says 1hr.32mins

[@janetebert-powell8527]

See I'm not the only one. I can't get to the documentry either, it sucks

[@COFFEEWITHBUDDHA]

I feel like a trustworthy Archaeologist should be onsite there and maybe Safety personnel. 😳

[@Livinguud]

This is the content that is super interesting unless your a Numb brain. Thanks guys for the boneyard because youtube has been very boring lately with lots of nonsense. Thanks guys keep the vids coming for iam hooked.

[@fionabender1882]

I think that hole in the bone is for tendons and nerves

[@billymitchem5256]

Ever find any tools as in stone or bone 🦴

[@gkarapeev]

You looked this up from the Joe Rogan podcast?

[@loosemink]

The hole in the bone could be a tooth mark. Polecats leave fine holes in eggshells from their teeth. A bigger predator could have done the same here 👍

[@ryanpaul6012]

Fossilized human bone with a drill hole? You all should team up with graham Hancock

[@jdogsful]

its like they cant say it specifically but they know they are finding man made objects and carved bones. this is really interesting.

[@jdogsful]

then at the end they say it specifically

[@anthonynyman167]

I don't think I would mention anything, on camera or any official capacity, suggesting to ancient human presence. I'm not sure what the state laws are regarding the discovery of potential artifacts possibly hinting to indigeneity. Though that process should be respected. It would suck to be shut down, if that can happen, because of a hole in a bone due to natural causes after being tossed around in the sediment. Or the result of 10,000 year old animal predation. But maybe done by people. I was glad to see the item being given extra care just in case.

[@lazenbytim]

Wheh you look at the detritus that the bones are buried in and how they've been smashed you know it was a huge tsunami of rocks and dirt that buried them and carried their dead bodies down the valley. It really must have something to do with the the younger dryas impact?!

[@markgraham6928]

show the burned bedrock please.

[@oliverneron7426]

Bautifaul women with similar knowledge !!!

[@bailey2913]

I’d love to go there and hunt for frozen dead stuff

[@scottmckenna9164]

Oh, man! Is it possible to salivate over fossils? Oh, yeah! I want to be there exhaling my breath in the permafrost. With my portable generator, a few gardening tools and hair dryer in hand, I can free up some bones.

[@nibiruresearch]

In several places in the world, such as in Alaska, we find huge amounts of bones of various animal species. This includes animals that went extinct long ago. These boneyards are the remnants of a recurring natural disaster. This disaster recurs every few thousand years and causes a huge tidal wave to sweep across the earth. That tidal wave drags everything loose with it, including people and animals. If that wave hits a mountain ridge, the bones may remain at the bottom of the mountain. To learn much more about recurring floods, the re-creation of civilizations and its time line and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

[@CitizenDrew]

You can also learn more about it in Genesis chapters 6-9.

[@maggielawson9111]

So I don't see any attempt to map out the animal to see if it belongs to one or more animals. Just looks like random bone collecting. Appears to be a very nice site. Guessing you guys just sell the random bones.

[@golddaughters70]

We haven't sold any of the bones from this collection. A few ivory shards here and there and maybe some teeth. Trying to keep it all together so one day we can assemble some skeletons. The permafrost does a great job at preserving bones but it also jumbles everything up so many times the bones are randomly scattered.

[@SamSeth]

Wow that's my dream. I'd give you at least a free week of slave labor if you let me run the monitor for an hour. Picking apart that deposit is one of the coolest things I can imagine doing. The way the bones are shattered apart and mixed in with the flowing gravel deposit is mind boggling. Then 60 feet of mud and trees on top of it all, wow. Entire landscapes were washed away. I've read about the possibility of a comet breaking apart, scattering debris all across the ice sheets, as a potential energy source to melt enough ice to cause this level of catastrophic flooding. There is strong evidence of an impact about 12900 years ago, and there have even been tusks found with meteoritic grains embedded in them. Have you guys ever had any of the wood dated? This is super cool, thanks for posting. I'm serious about wanting to help. I don't even want any of the material. Just the experience of seeing that in person would be unreal.

[@Dadddypuga]

Wouldn’t these things you guys are finding come out whole if y’all didn’t force them out the ground?

[@415144]

Do you guys know why the bones you are collecting are in this location? You may, if you haven’t already, conceder orienting with a compass to find similar sites. This must be fascinating as well as gruesome to realize that these huge beast met their demise and were in cased in frozen permafrost only to be blasted out of their tombs by your hydraulic mining technique. No offence, really, you are conferming the idea that a huge ocean wave swept across Alaska and swept away fauna and flora to the upper regions. 🙂

[@josephshaneferguson6561]

some of that old wood should be worth something to the right person

[@NYdaVinciBricks]

Lol 😆😆💪🏼🦴

[@tomsawyer247]

To me it looks like these animals lived in a forest when they died and were bulldozed by the ice to their present location

[@westcoasthiker7093]

Where there digging used to be a grassland, trees get in the way of big animals and there food, grass. The trees prob just washed into the same area in a flood
