How to Find Gold in Quartz Veins Using Placer Gold Deposits and Google Earth.

Join Geologist Jeff Williams as he explains how you can find Gold in Quartz veins ( Lode Gold ) using old Placer Gold diggings and Google Earth. This is a very reliable method for finding these rich outcroppings and can be used in most places.

This is one of a handful of techniques we like to use when out in the placer fields for location the source ( lode deposit ) of where it came from. If the deposit still exists and is exposed then finding the source is the ultimate goal for finding that Shiney . If you want to see more techniques then just watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIecepSajd6ohJY and smash that like button ...smash it HARD !!!!

[@johnramirez5032]

You know they didnt get all the gold out. They couldn't did all the vein structures up that held gold. So they picked the one they figured had the most gold. They were pretty crafty but they could and did miss very rich viens. Not everyone could afford core samples back in the day. Geologist were not always around. They couldnt have found all the gold. You know it and i know it. Plus time and erosion would exose veins the couldnt see

[@michaelfercik3691]

Looking forward to meeting you in person for showing you how I have reverse engineered the physics involved in dowsing with the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, which is the only dowsing rod that precisely gauges all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition, and most important is grading of the dowsed element that is contained in the elemental mass that is being dowsed. I will show you how to dowse the placer and lode gold deposits with easy and precise gauging of everything about the dowsed element, by pitting the energy of gravity against the energizing of the pure one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load, that is attached on the elevated acetylene welding rod, which is free spinning on ball bearings. Then, together we will be able to do "Lets Go" a lot better with more gold found than we can handle, and unfortunately a lot of the gold dowsed we can't have because it is somebody else who owns the gold. I hope you are safe and healthy while having a good day.

[@Arizonafun-y5w]

Hey Jeff where we are there is no test holes only tributary. We have taken a fair amount of dirt from the run off. It has redeposited more gold. How should we test virgin ground to get closer or find the source? Is there a foot by foot test pattern that needs to be done? How far from the tributary out should it be tested?

What is the difference between header piles and tailing piles?

A header pile is dirt ready to go into the drywasher. Tailings piles are dirt that's come out.
