Another Day Digging a Tunnel Inside the Earth - ask Jeff Williams

[@DjGrimmace]

I still love listening to this guy talk about what he does, you can tell he loves everything about his job. Keep doing what you're doing, man.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

thanks

[@SCW1060]

Jeff I just love the way you timber the drift mine Every board is just put in just so perfectly. I'd feel absolutely safe in any of your mines. Great job Scooter

[@Askjeffwilliams]

thanks

[@OldMotorcycleAdventures]

Just stumbled upon one of your other videos, now I will be binging these. This is something I have never had an interest in, but you have my attention now. I thoroughly appreciate you telling everyone to use their PPE. Coming from a job that didn't offer me PPE, and did my body a great deal of harm, everyone needs that advice young. By 22, I have had enough spinal injuries that I am permanently damaged, and my hearing isn't so hot anymore either. Working 16 hour days in a milk bottling plant is what messed me up. Anyone younger that is watching, use everything you can to keep your body safe. No amount of money, nor time savings can justify hurting your body

[@Askjeffwilliams]

wow sorry to hear that

[@JPREEDY77]

He's on an ancient ice age wash, he's got small handfuls of gold for years at his rate. That stuff is all from a massive flood, some of the water held after flooding. Giving the appearance of an inland sea. That land is shifting, along the same system that the Ridgecrest earthquakes happened along. Some of the system is moving faster that the other parts, but Jeff is definitely in a drifting system which requires reinforcing.

[@ScotlandsGold]

Cheers 👍

[@FlourgoldWizards]

Sounds legit!!!!✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅

[@oddball8758]

I think that he's digging through a large eluvium deposit that sits on an old seabed. Since the sea lies at the lowest points, it's where I'd go if I was a rolling stone. Finding a river that went through it at one time,.....Yum !!

[@JPREEDY77]

@@oddball8758 Eluvial/Aluvial I say Potato! Yes, the flood plane begins around Bend Oregon, and extends all the way into Oaxaca Mexico. It's the biggest Aluvial fan I've been able to find in satellite photos. There is much much more to the story though. I'm actually preparing a scientific paper to explain this. It is not a theory, it is easily proven with existing data. When this understanding is brought forth it will explain a good deal of what are considered mysteries today. Jeff would be happy (and likely laugh like a crazy/er) person when he reads that my assertion will be proven by gold. It will also lead to a great deal more mineral discoveries. In the long run it simplifies the already convoluted and super-involved theories. To cater to your comment. The Juan De Fuca Plate is NOT subducting as understood. The sliding landmass is pulling on a crack in the crust that was created when the initial catastrophe occured. (I Know What Happened)! The western states are drifting East from the Sierras to Colorado. The Great Western Aluvial Fan is a massive landslide heading Southeast towards NM and TX. the top of the fan runs the bottom of the 'current' Yellowstone Cauldera track, down the fault that runs from Ridgecrest CA directly North! So, part of this story includes corrections that that slide where Ridgecrest Quaked was actually sliding underburden chewed up over millions of years during several ice expansions.

[@oddball8758]

@@JPREEDY77 Well, I wish you good luck with it. But be careful wording it . I have a problem with the 2007 Aussie study that claims all gold nuggets are from heat and form deep inside the Earth. (hyper thermal something....), then went on to state that since this kind of heat is not on the surface, it must have occurred deep under ground. Well I looked over at Hawaii and saw lava, then remembered the rings of fire and hydro-vents under the sea and said to myself .........Ya, I know !! They disclaim Jeff's talk of contact zones and cold fusion too. Maybe a week after reading this study, I did my brake rotors and my pads. Seeing the glaze reminded me of friction heat in contact zones, but high speed is involved with rotors and brakes. Not until I saw a sway bar linkage not in good shape at all did I prove Jeff is right. I went and got two, and the one that was bad , the nut came off fine but I could not slide the bolt through the sleeve to remove it..I cut it off with a hacksaw at the tops inside and Guess what ? The bolt had fused it'self to the sleeve. This part connects the sway bar to the control arm and sees no heat whatsoever. None the less, it had fused itself to the sleeve under pressure only from the weights involved in the turns. Contact zones don't have to see heat to fuse. Jeff is right about contact zones and the aussie study is in the trash. After several dozen good wacks with a 5lb small sledge, a punch and vice, I got the bolt to separate from the sleeve,...just to see if I could. Be sure of yourself and word it carefully and again, best of luck to you.

[@Musabe009]

I was just wondering about the cave system! I hope you bust into it enough where you can do a video and explore it! Your mine is getting pretty deep and long, that’s awesome how far you have progressed so far! Merry Christmas everyone, hope you have a great holiday

[@Askjeffwilliams]

its still down there and freaking me out every time we try to go down it due to the sounds it is making .... we are 40 vertical feet down and have over 100 feet of drifts .....will get vid of the cave system here soon

[@insolentstickleback3266]

I am just more ansy than a fart in a hot skillet about those caves. I am just damn near dieing to see Jeff good and properly explore this!

Hey Jeff...figured you'd be happy to hear this; one of the inclined shaft gold mines I shot video of in 2017 is active again, and they're getting ready to dewater another. I'm handling the engineering and mine planning on that one, and am going to try to rent the company one or two old EIMCO loaders for the horizontal development work. These guys are old school - lots of jacklegs and rail.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

thats great ....would love a chance to get in there to shoot a vid especially with some old 12b's

[@andrewdufresne572]

Thanks for all the videos Slim....... and Jeff William's as well ; > )

[@jeronimomod156]

Fun fact. When we are working on a blast furnace reline job and they're done dynamiting the Giant boulder in the bottom of the Blast Furnace and the dynamite is off-site. They have armed guards present while they bring out those materials and truck them away. A lot of nickel and it's rumored there's also gold that's accumulated.

[@teampullmyfinger3036]

I think we may need picture in picture of you rocking this song..... yup lets go!!!!

[@hacknwack4065]

Brothers of the mine rejoice! Swing, swing, swing with me Raise your pick and raise your voice! Sing, sing, sing with me Down and down into the deep Who knows what we'll find beneath? Diamonds, rubies, gold and more Hidden in the mountain store Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home Skin made of iron, steel in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on brothers sing with me! I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole The sunlight will not reach this low Deep, deep in the mine Never seen the blue moon glow Dwarves won't fly so high Fill a glass and down some mead! Stuff your bellies at the feast! Stumble home and fall asleep Dreaming in our mountain keep Born underground, grown inside a rocky womb The earth is our cradle; the mountain shall become our tomb Face us on the battlefield; you will meet your doom We do not fear what lies beneath We can never dig too deep I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home Skin made of iron, steel in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on brothers sing with me! I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole...

Jeff I wish I had the money to come see you and slim. I love that type of stuff and I’m a big history buff. Love seeing the ghost towns old mines things like that. My great grandpa told me some stories about mining and how the old timers did things in the old days. I have seen some history in NC but West is on my bucket list. So much history there. Thanks for everything.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

thanks Donald..... you betcha and keep us posted ....maybe tell us one of those stories ...love hearing them

[@donaldrobbins7439]

@@Askjeffwilliams OH yea. One quick and funny one. He showed me how to pan gold at the age of 5 and when I was 7 he would bet others I could out pan them. He would say my grandson can find gold just by using the dirt that they panned away (there telling pile). If I couldn't find gold he would give them 5$. From all the stories I was told I would always find some gold and he never lost a bet. He nick named me nugget. There are still people to this day at that old gold mine that calls me nugget. That was 40 years ago. I have a few things of grandpa's like one of his original pans and a old wood shaker sluice box.

[@quisno11]

got super fine gold to recover T600 is the answer. Gets the platinum's also. we camber our caps as we use 6" to 8" posts. 45 degree wall cut, 2" flat space then the a 90 degree front cut. then wedge the back you get a camber 10 times the strength . we use 40 lb air hammers I need to get a picture to you along with some interesting ore. 8.5 hardness.
