My Biggest Gold Discovery | Metal Detecting Underground Finds the Motherlode

[@Askjeffwilliams]

I think my wife saw the video because she won't let me dig in her drift anymore without her. Lol Can't wait to see what grows from them roots or if the egg starts to hatch into something bizarre. If you see me acting strange ( like Mark Zuckerburg ) it means they turned into me into Pod people hahahahaha If you got idea on how to grow them roots or get the them eggs to hatch let us know...... and don't forget to smash that like button .....smash it real HARD !!!!!

[@realcourte]

Jeff and the pod people, the movie comin' soon! + maybe the eggs don't like sunlight. Keep them in a shadowy place. + And Yah! I did smash it real HARD!

[@ANCIENTASTRONAUT411]

Keep on digging digging raaaaawwww hiiiiiidddee

[@steveoehler6006]

LOL

[@MrMarcreed]

You can cut some young willow branches and put ‘em in water till they grow roots, then use that water for your roots. Willow has natural root stimulates and the resulting water is a root stimulant.

[@joschmidt4951]

Looking forward to seeing those nuggets cleaned up. Also you better start wearing your helmet to bed when your wife finds out. My bet on the eggs are either frogs or worms. It always amazed me when I was mining how after a good rain frogs would appear out of what seemed nowhere. I do hope you eventually get some of those roots to grow it will be so interesting. Keep it safe and keep it fun, Lets goooooo

[@cliffordmaxwell9802]

Roots and strange eggs super cool cheating Lila out of her nuggets is living on the dangerous edge, I say she does him in with a plastic bag over the head, after one too many nights of endless farts from eating all those cans of beans 🙂Let's go! Oh, and always keep your nuts on the outside lol Jeff you are killing me with those one liners! Hope those roots sprout right out Jeffs luck its poison ivy.

[@scruggsbuster9458]

You can use plant food for the roots and put them on top of a sponge with a water inside and pour plant food in it

[@rastaralph7154]

The eggs look like the start of amber forming from the sap of the trees and roots 👍

Jeff, since these ancient riverbeds go back to the Cretaceous and Pre-Cambrian times, do you find many fossils as you are mining?

[@baaldiablo8459]

Know what also look like riverbeds? Flood deposits.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

we have found fossils in the spooky cave systems ..... we gave most of them away but there are more down there

Right. He may find out. It's a plant that science never knew was in that region or. Time period. Need answers jeff

When I'm out in the open desert with hundreds of miles of nothing, I always seem to have a couple bushes around me where I can't set the detector down level. Even in that wide open area, I say I feel like I'm working in a phonebooth. I can't imagine being down there and trying to work.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

it's pretty tight down there

[@johnramirez5032]

It's not that tight. Those old timers working on their backs chasing a dream or a wage, that was tight. I saw a video where these natives in Guatemala climb down into the ground for barely any money. They have mo other choice but to starve . They wish they could work on Jeffs mine !

Jeff, I have a question for you. If someone wanted to do something similar to what you are doing (myself) in a couple of years. What areas of the country should I be considering? Being in Florida, the Caliche clay is foreign to me. Thanks for your time.

[@FursonaNonGrata]

Nevada

[@bentationfunkiloglio]

Born and raised in S. Florida myself. Best gold in Florida is on Treasure Coast beaches, gold washed ashore from old Spanish ship wrecks after big storms. Up near Palm Beach, Port St. Lucie area. If your looking for places to go gold panning, Dahlonega, Georgia is a good place to visit. Other places on East Coast include Virginia, Southern D.C (along the Potomac River), and North Carolina. Never looked for gold on the west coast, but looks to me like it has better gold than out here in the east. ...just some suggestions. I'm not a pro. Just love finding gold!

[@johnramirez5032]

Some place thats not too far .

[@Askjeffwilliams]

NV, AZ and South Eastern CA

[@lotharschiese8559]

Like a bunch of sailors on leave, got me rocken in my seat!

[@scruggsbuster9458]

I think you should give your wife at least one nugget cuz of all the hard work and she likes gold and she gets excited when she finds it I think personally to just give her one nugget or two nuggets because you're going to find a lot more and everybody was probably agree with me to tell your wife she deserves a nugget and not for her cuz she may put the Hot Chili Peppers in your soup or your beans haha

[@johnramirez5032]

Yes i think you should take a vote.

[@rh5563]

Totally agree.

[@michaelpass2176]

She just might put them pepper on your tooth paste, or some where more sneaky places. Enter yet peppers in the laundry. Get the picture! Her big nugget was her choice to make not yours, payback is going to be coming!

Hi Jeff, The wet roots are better to harvest as commented on. Dip the roots in a liquid hormone to prompt the roots to grow a plant. Wear safety glasses and, gloves when handling the hormone.

if you're going to harvest fresh roots, you should have some wet paper towels in a zip lock bag. that way they stay moist until you can plant them.

Jeff I saw it..I saw that little booger nugget jump out of your scooper onto the ground at the top left of the picture then it put on a coat of clay in hopes that you would think it was a dirt clod but luckily you outsmarted it and bagged the little sucker 😂

[@watertiteman]

Jeff, in my area (which is known to produce gold) there was an earthwork project done about 20 years ago to redirect flash flood waters around our flood prone neighborhood. Last summer, we had a hellacious downpour and the outlet of the diversion ditch cut quite deep and exposed a very hard caliche sandstone type bedrock (about 300' long) that i'm pretty sure nobody has ever seen before. It is about 25' below the surrounding ground level. I found a heavily mineralized crystal the size of my fist which was embedded in the caliche. I have a brand new Gold Kruzer and am thinking this would be a good place to start prospecting. So you know what i'm gonna say...

[@Askjeffwilliams]

that sounds great ....run that material and keep us posted
