I purchased gold in quartz that was found on Klamath River north of Yreka , CA . A miner had a quartz vein on his property . The gold was very fine hair like crystals that formed in the Quartz. The gold was fragile and would easily break from the Quartz . It appeared as if the gold recently formed in the Quartz . I was told gas created gold crystals in the Quartz. The specimens were stunning ! I never saw specimens like this before & haven’t seen specimens like that since .

Me and a friend have a claim, I use the gold bug 2 for locating the iron stones around the creek, we have these iron stones up top golf ball size and they ring up well with the gold bug 2 and if I locate them along/in the creek the gold is almost always good around them if I dig that area. The claim we got is a section of creek full of boulders some as big as a garden shed. The ground can be as hard as woodpecker lips to dig sometimes but the gold is a mix of rough and smooth chunky gold. Our gold in Western Montana may smaller but the fun factor is just as good 😁

At 6:20, Jeff discusses how the old-timers hid their goods. There is a famous case of a faith healer years ago in California called the Goat Doctor. He would take payment only in silver dollars. After he died, a crew went out to raze his shack. The front loader scraped off the top of a huge chest full of silver dollars that was buried under the floor. This was just the beginning. Silver dollars were buried all over the property.

I was chasing a tiny ribbon of a Quartz vein… from an old 1800s Mine Pit in NC. I knew it was good , when I saw deep red dirt surrounding it, in the regular clay. Saw Iron and sulfides with little pockets …with my magnifying loupe, in the tiny 1/4” wide and smaller...ribbon of Quartz . I Used a set of hand pliers, to Crush the small ribbon samples at the site. My magnet pulled out the crushed iron. When I Panned All of my sample material, the water in the stream below it…turned (Blood Red)! I did find a nice small gold flake that day, from that small sample! ⛏️⛏️⛏️💯💯💯

That’s a good sound machine my first gold bug was number 327 with a whole bunch of zeros in front of it. For many years that was the Detector for gold you must wear headphones you can discriminate by ear you can tell what kind of mineral it is a lot of stuff until the shape of stuff way faster than any other machine out there at the time. That is not the original Goldbug two. The original one was too hard for the general public to operate I loved it but most of public could never operate it so they went kind of back to the original Goldbug with just a couple modification . You can’t run the Detector without headphones you should know that Jeff.

Thanks Jeff, another very informative video A question/observation: 2 plastic pans are lighter than 1 gallon of water and 1 pan. With 2 pans you could re-use the water and get by with a quart or even less. A little plastic funnel would allow you to re-use the water for at least 2 sample sites. Save packing 7 pounds of water or do more panning of samples on site by conserving even more water?

I live on the california mother load Close to the Kennedy and Argonaught mines many mines in the area all kinds of geologic and hydrothermal activity, i know there is gold locked in the veins and altered rock. one of those Iron horses is less than a mile away. giant iron silica scarn and other minerals in situe . Serpintine and copper green stone, chlorite, sulfur, calcite all there. I have no one to play with or explore have no rock crushers or know how to smelt, Ive found multiple gold deposit areas. tons of research and boots on the ground. by the way the mineral bar spot i found that ten years ago, never went back due to personal BS. glad someone else found it. hurts a little though. Did a lot of work to find that spot. never told anyone. If i only had a friend. There are more areas to explore, unfortunately I am one of those people that just has the gift for finding gold. But never going back and getting it.

For years we never use A scoop. Do you want to do is move that target sauce on top of the ground and then when we tried to scoop it up with their hand we we will test the ground again do we knew we had it in the hand then you sprinkled the dirt on top of your coil until you Heard the nugget hit the coil. Move the dirt around with your finger into you heard the nugget move and then you knew you had it under your finger. I dug many thousands of nuggets that way . What a great idea the scoop is, It was hard for me to start using but when you get old in your hands don’t close all the way it’s hard to pick the nuggets up your hand You could say scoop save my detecting career.
