HOW TO FIND GOLD EVERYTIME IN CHINESE DRIFT MINES.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

Do like Lode mining or Placer mining. Let us know if you find the Chinese Drift mine we were talking about up at Osceola and if you want to see what that looks like , watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ7VlqCaisxknrM and smash that like button ....SMASH it HARD !!!!!

[@SilvasSmallMining]

I prefer placer mining. Lode mining is a lot more work, by far. I have lode and placer deposits on my claims. I only mess with the placer deposits. Good gold hunting! Take care.

[@rayon3383]

Yeah someone has already cleaned the bottom of that waterfall? I seen the guy clean it out you just need to go look in the mirror there Jeff LOL

[@rodqueen2910]

I know of at least 2 mines near Oracle AZ. At one time there must have been a large group there definite signs of Chinese, nails everywhere; must have had a large fire. I found a very old Chinese vase and another important clue--broken perfume bottles.

[@billwilliams1842]

i would prefer to placer because of being able to be outside rather than being cooped up.

[@RectalRooter]

Am I understanding the rules correctly ? Heavy equipment like an excavator is not allowed on placer claims.

[@richardbeee]

When i worked for ERI outside of Searchlight, we found an old Chinese dig. Complete with skeleton of him and his tools and gun. Had been covered up for years. A big flood came along,a real gully washer,and exposed his old camp. Was so cool. The old guy finally got a proper burial.

[@denttech2515]

That small-scale model you did of a creek was brilliant. I'll never forget it. Thanks again for all you do and the positivity you bring to this world. We need it

[@richardhamilton8087]

If i ever get depressed. I just watch your vids Dude.

[@rickjohnson6559]

Osceola. My heart. 90s bob osland owned the big claim I was a 30 yr old green horn nuggets in his tromel as big as his hand. I did not touch I felt honored. He told me they had just ran everything above the road that cut his claim in half. Go work the road. I found a handful of big clunkers the biggest was 32 grams I showed them to bob. Expecting him to take them. He smiled. Do you have the fever ? He asked. Bob was a good guy. Stayed in a camper in the old townsite. He was 50 then. If he's alive he'd be 90. I'll see him again. Good folks have a place on God's creek in heaven. I hope i make it. Osceola. Jeff I never thought you'd give up the honey hole. That's why in my earlier chats 3 years ago and before I always refered to it as the big 0. The largest nugget ever in Nevada history came from there. 86 pounds. It was immediately melted and I've been in those Chinese mines. Immaculate to this day cleaned floors like it's concrete stacked rocks like a rock wall. Precision. Not like us. Race though things with excavators anyway i lit up when you said the big O⁵

[@Askjeffwilliams]

Hi Rick , we knew you would like that ...... we know Bob and have worked some of his claims .... good times my brother and thanks for sharing ....we have also worked with Lynn up there on Bobs claim and have found massive Gold as well ...... there are so many Chinese drift mines up there you can't count them all ...I remember that 86 pound nugget ....stuff dreams are made of ....

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Thanks for sharing your story with us. It's stories like that, that explain a lot about folks like Jeff and Pops. Good people who love the hunt as much as finding the pay streak and don't mind sharing their knowledge with green horns.

[@rickjohnson6559]

@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756 I was lucky. We didn't have you tube back then. But old timers took me with them. Stay humble be appreciative of the knowledge your being given. Respect the land. Remember karma is like Kahn's wrath. It's a terrible thing to be following you. Times are different now. Way more people. And government restrictions. Why government restrictions you ask. Because some dummy ruined it for all of us. Respect the land and know it can kill you and your momma isn't there to pick up your trash. Good luck out there and Jeff is giving free classes every week. And he's not like any other channel. Everything that he and his beautiful wife lila get they give it all away. All of it. And boocoo other stuff. Nobody does that. So enjoy your ride. It's golden

[@trevorwhat]

Osceola mining and its water ditches are another remarkable story of the effort and ingenuity of those early miners. Talk about inspiring…

[@WasatchSasquatchUtah]

Most of the stuff around Osceola is so deep you can't detect it well. Still, I know one guy who used to live in Ely, he had luck detecting since he knew the lay of the land well and was out there for years. Still one of the more challenging places in NV to come up with detected gold.

Mr. Jeff Williams... you are so extremely fun to watch and have all the great insights on prospecting... might sound like a broken record but I don't care about all that... lol... so I am an old timer and have been digging super rare old bottles forever but recently gave it up because of major abuse on my body... lol... can't sit around and do nothing when there's treasure out there... lol... so I've been homeless for the last seven months but it's okay because I'm healing and trying to find a fun new direction... made it to Florida now and loving it but would love to experience your madness of finding shiny nuggets for first time... so would you ever require an extra hand to help you get to the mother lode in any way... I'm still super strong and very capable of handling any project??

You are such a crack-up, I love it. Great episode, I really needed this science class😊 I need to get my Keene dry washer out. I had it for two years and haven’t used it once. Jonathan is really good using it in Gold Canyon. Gaiters maker great dust masks, and it protects my neck from the sun and slows up the turkey neck process 🤣🤣 Take care hero.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

they are really good machines ...easy to set up ...never thought about using gaiters for that ....thanks Ernie

[@soulbiscit]

Has Jonathan had any luck finding gold out there? I'm on the other side in AJ. I found really good specimens by my place but I haven't had enough $$ to get a dry washer or rock crusher to process my samples.

[@ErnieDionne]

@ You got it my brother 💪🏻

[@ErnieDionne]

@ Hi, yes, Jonathan and I have always gotten gold there. Jonathan runs his material through the dry wash into a gold pan, then runs it through the dry wash again. I will take samples of the double run tailings and pan it out to see if we missed anything. I have never gotten enough shiny to make an effort to go through the double run tailings. Which for us lays to rest that the dry wash loses up to 30% of gold. I normally run the electric jack hammer off a generator while Jonathan feeds the dry wash. As for the dry wash and rock crusher, it’s worth every effort to save, work extra hours, sell things etc. to get these tools to enhance your prospecting and mining and of course a Gold Monster 1000. We also use a Bauer cordless shop vac for crevices. Enjoy and live the dream 💪🏻

Hey Jeff, I bought a home in Sugar Hill, Georgia and the subdivision was once prospected for gold in the 1800's. I was told by a local who used to live in my area and she tells me it could be a mine in my backyard that had been buried. My backyard has a lot of large divots but one in particular seems to get deeper over the years. Could it be one of those Chinese mine such as the one you're showing on this episode? I've considered digging but am afraid I'll fall in.🤔

I have a shop vacuum with a hose similar to the one you are using in this video. The hose develops a respectable static charge that keeps you on your toes around saw dust. Sparks, you know. Anyway, do you wash that hose out later? If the dry washer mat uses static electricity, it makes me wonder if something similar isn't happening in the hose as well.

Hi you have to get to know about shiaa

[@bustamante549]

That green rock is copper and gold follows always copper

[@bustamante549]

because both metals are commonly deposited by similar geological processes, primarily through hydrothermal fluids rising from deep within the Earth's crust, which can carry dissolved metals like copper and gold that precipitate out when they encounter cooler temperatures and changing chemical conditions, effectively "following" each other in the same geological formations
