[@nuggdimmadome2192]

I remember the Gordon shop. They were still there when I first was introduced to Retta and Darren. When they moved to Golden Valley I brought my dad in from Vegas to meet them. It hurts my heart hearing their voices again. I miss them.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

we agree with you ....

[@jackoboyle2833]

I am SO glad that I found Jeff on KZbin, by accident! The best thing I’ve seen since Peter Pan in 1955!

[@Askjeffwilliams]

hahahahahaa thanks

[@danielmiller2977]

I am 60 and just found you. I'm totally addicted. my grandmother bought some land in Oregon in the 50s and passed it on to my mom and dad who in turn passed it on to me and my siblings. I went down with my two brothers to look at it and found that it looked like a 1/2 acre of worthless wooded valley. However, as we were exploring we found a rocky stream, and what did I see but pure black sand. I think I know now why my grand mother bought this land. I can't wait to explore. It's a 6hr drive but I don't care. Thanks for being so fun to watch, and being a teacher of geology. If you have any advice for me, I promise to be a good listener. Except for the location LOL!! If we discover something good I'll let you know. Oh! and thanks a lot for giving me the fever! LOL! I love this channel. You make this fun., you're the greatest!!

[@Askjeffwilliams]

thats great ....and you betcha ....keep us posted

[@clifforddavis7878]

Jeff you're one cool dude as always, your knowledge and ability to educate your viewers as well as entertain us, has made me a longtime viewer. Thanks and never change.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

Thanks Cliffiord

[@terrapinrocks]

5 years later this is a bit of a sad video in retrospect. The kinda thing that makes you want a time machine. Sincere condolences for the loss of your friends, Jeff.

[@rabbiehippo]

Just started watching a whole host of people out finding gold on KZbin and got some equipment coming next week to start prospecting up here in Scotland . Hopefully I'll find something ! Cheers for the entertaining but educational videos .

[@McFunnyBone]

This was a blast to watch. Alot of this knowledge is stickin with me appearently cause I am starting to know what things are before you ask. I gotta say, that feels pretty damn good. So I genuinely thank you for teach us all this stuff and making it fun at the same time. Would love to see more of these. P.S. GoldLady's shop looks like a quick way to break the bank!!! Lolol!!! Take care guys! Look forward to the next vid

Hey Jeff u taught me so much about geology that I found half a laundry basket of gems at a mining camp out in Maine. And people were asking me where to look and called me a scientist, my uncle inspired me to get into mining but u taught me how to mine in the first place. Once again thank you Jeff your really giving me hope for a better happier life

Jeff, you are awesome man!!! I've been wanting to get into geology/prospecting for a long time, and I'm trying to learn as much as possible before I jump in with both feet. I'm learning so much from your videos, nobody else has nearly as much valuable information like your clips do. I'm getting ready to buy a goldbug 2, and start getting my feet wet on my days off of work. Thanks for all the edumacating!! When I strike it rich, I'm gonna be looking for you to express my gratitude... maybe don't hold your breath waiting, but you never know!!

[@woodsoundsflutes]

Ok. I will make a comment. Jeff, I love the enthusiasm you put into your educating. It is engaging. This video in particular, I have really appreciated the respect you show to history and the desert. As a Utah native, I have often been in places where artifacts of the past have been. Sometimes things that are simply amazing. It is beautiful that another person can come behind me and have the exact same amazing experience. That only happens when we respect on another. Thanks for teaching this.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

Thanks .... exactly

[@rickp46]

Thank you for doing what you do Jeff. I think back on the fun I used to have watching Bill Nye. Your videos are always a good time, and there isn't one video of your that I have watched, where I had not learned at least three new things. Be safe, keep up the great work.

[@Famo59]

Hi Jeff and Lila.. What can any one SAY...!!! Absolutely fantastic presentation of Geology and That Gold Lady Shop.. Any real Gold Prospector would stay in that shop for a WEEK..!! All those lovely gold Prospecting gear. UNBELIEVABLE..! So come on let’s GO..! I am flying back to America again to visit that gold mine shop... It just goes to show how good is the Minelab Gold Detectors are ..And the original gold detectors were made in my City of Adelaide in South Australia 🇦🇺... Eureka Yeee Haaa.. Thanks Guys..for sharing your knowledge.. Cheers From Australia 🇦🇺 Famo59.Tony 👍🤓🍺⛏

Famo59 -- Yes, the original Minelab gold detectors were made in the vicinity of your City of the Adelaide area, of South Australia. But the brains behind them being the main designer of the electronics of the Minelab pulse induction gold detectors *is Bruce Candy from "South Africa".*

[@appclickable]

Your videos are just like prospecting. There is a whole lot of overburden (crazy talk) but the great info is amongst it. The crazy talk is well worth it, when you classify out the really useful geological knowledge and experience you have. Great video again. Thank you.

You're talking a lot of schist today.. Lol.. thank you for all of the great information.. I always love learning something and you are one of the best when it comes to minerals and deposits.. Thank you.. Much love to you and your family from the East Coast side of Virginia.. You are the one that got me into gold mining, because I had no idea that we had a gold vein running through Virginia.. About 5 or so years ago I was walking through a local Creek and found a big hunk of white quartz and I came home and got online and that's when I found you.. The 1st video I watched by you was how to find gold in quartz... Anyway Thanks again.. Lol.. I had to edit this because I thought it was 7 but it was 5 years

[@Thebald1]

And I still have my 1st gold nugget and all of the fines that I found my 1st time out, it was only 1.7 grams total.. But I kept it all like you would your 1st dollar, and that big white quartz rock that has gold in it..

[@Askjeffwilliams]

Thats great and you betcha you to my friend....really love hearing that...and we know you are gonna find even Bigger Nuggets then that

We have club's here in Virginia that has some big gold and it not that much money to join them.. The videos on here now is from a local creek and I've even found a local dried-up creek that has gold in it.. but the clubs that we have here I can bring a guest for only $10

[@mikelewellen4195]

Anyone that likes rocks ought to watch your videos. I'm in the Missouri Ozarks so gold isn't really a thing here, but there is a lot of chert and there are a few of us out looking for the high quality stuff. Just like with all the old mining history, the anthropology is directly connected to the geology. Learning a little geology and a little local history can send a person on a Heck of a journey. You're dropping some serious nuggets of wisdom.

My wife says the keystone mine reminds her of me "Full of schist". Sorry somebody had to do it Schist happens

[@theeddorian]

Interesting bit of trivia, especially if you like bison, is that one of the big uses the American bison's hide was being put to was on drive belts in factories. The bison weren't just shot to feed railroad building crews, or sell robes to wealthy easterners. Their leather helped build the original industrialization of the US. One of the best examples of gold in quartz I've seen was a white quartz arrowhead with a gold wire running through it.

Your videos are causing much laughter and I frequently hear the cebuano words, "Buang siya!" meaning "he's crazy"! All in good fun though.
