Finding Gold With Big Oxidized River Gravels!

[@freshimpactco.8698]

That is one gorgeous spot, wow totally could spend a weekend there camping and panning....

[@morgansword]

That is the kind of gold that you want to find if you were set up with a gold trommel and the excavator working but for a hobby panner not the money return. I got some serious gold out of clay that you guys were in. I've done that most all my life and when I was forced to feed family by driving truck long hauls I would jump out and grab four or more buckets to work up at night. I made a serious strike once but didn't know which creek the bucket came out of and really hurt my feelers. I had near three ounces in a five gallon bucket but the buckets were not labeled so never did find again like I thought I could. It was big chunky stuff. Fun video, hope you find where those little finds come from. I did good panning the root systems too, trees that uprooted and the gravels under them and in the tree bottom

[@musicmanlv]

Pieces of Railroad track were used as makeshift anvils. A lot easier to carry a 15lb piece of track into the wilderness than a 400lb anvil.

[@911mining]

Some of the pieces where 20 feet long though.

[@thankmargordon2329]

Hmm, good idea Train tracks run a few miles from here, I don't think they'd notice if I cut a foot off eh?😂🤣

[@samuel.portscheller]

Interesting information. 15 lbs easier to carry than 400 . I'll write that down in case I forget

[@mwilson14]

I love your vids man. I live in western Washington State, so we have a lot of the same geology. Your videos showing the high sulfide minerals has really helped me identify specimens to extract even more elements.

[@StevenHanover]

Western Washington and olympic mountains like to hide their gold claims behind the Manganese mineral probably for tax evasion and avoiding claim jumpers. I heard gold gets absorbed by other metals like and needs chemicals to leach out. Aqua regia. Plant food has zinc and stuff turns purple if zinc and gold testing. Im in Oregon southern middle.

[@mwilson14]

@@StevenHanover Yes they do. I actually found a large rock of rhodonite a few months back. I was just looking for pyrite filled rocks but once I broke it open I saw the beautiful pink color with dendritic manganese dioxide veins. I'm working on a video actually about it as I turned some of the outer crust rich in MnO2 into potassium permanganate. It was very impure, but it was a fun experiment to perform. I also got some sulfide rich rocks recently and I roasted, crushed/pulverized and bathed the pieces in concentrated acids. I recovered a surprising amount of copper, but I also unfortunately recovered a bit of thallium. I have a couple of short videos up of the thallium on my channel. They are nothing too great, but I figured it would be good to bring attention to the dangers posed to people like us that love to prospect and work with elements.

[@StevenHanover]

@@mwilson14 in australia they soak their crushed ore in eucalyptus leaf oil (has arsenic and cyanide that liquidizes / leach gold). That copper you found has the gold jn it! I guess they make wrench sockets with vanadium. Cant wait for your video on chemistry of manganese. Will check out the rhodonite videos too some of this stuff flys right over my head into outerspace and how big lf a mining hole on the dark side of the moon theyre not telling us mining some thing called helium 3?

[@squadman3376]

I love panning.....it's like opening a gift slowly until you see the gift at the end....I tell my wife that it is hiking with a shovel........ Always a fun outing.

[@Illumignostic]

I recenty found a rusty layer directly above a gravel layer on a river. It contains goldin every pan. My question isshould I work the rusty material or dig under it? Below the gravel?

[@nepriandries]

Hello my friend thank sharing video👍🔔☕️👈🙏🏻🔔

[@JourneymanJacob]

6:44 It almost looks like he launches a gold nugget out of his pan

[@crohkorthreetoes3821]

Your last pan is as good as I have ever found in 30 years panning down here in washington. If I found gold like your first pan I would just quit my job and set up shop.

[@youtubestudent6484]

Dude this reminds me of the forest my grandmother lived next to. Straight up temperate rainforest. B.E.A.U.TIFUL. THANK YOU FOR THIS!

[@ATHOSOutdoorProspector]

Good job 👌

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Boy I love that kind of digging, Old stratified gravels out of a vertical bank! Woohooooo! Thanks for the nice video 911 beautiful creek!

[@verumpraevaleat8177]

g'day from tasmania australia mate. very informative video. if I did'nt know you were in the states i would swear you were about 5 minutes from where i live here. ..exactly the same rainforest , rivers and geology !! going to give it another go tomorrow with the knowledge you have provided. Cheers mate ,well done.

[@Diggit7979]

Even without gold, I'd rather be there.

[@thetaleofthemysteriousfair9004]

Yeah I love the forest.

[@mendasuresh3961]

Fairy tail world 🌎

[@rufuscmclean]

Im in North Carolina mining a paleo channel exposed in a stream bank. The bottom of the channel is oxidized and when crushed yields very nice gold from a layer of hard pack on the bottom of the paleo channel. I know load gold is often associated with Iron. I am wondering why I am seeing gold associated with oxidized gravels and hardly any there is no oxidation ? Any thoughts?

[@RISTYANARA_PJ]

I'm a panning gold seeker, I really like your gold video

[@DumpBear75]

The rails are all around a couple of claims we have up here and I found out they were used for mining the placers. A couple are in the river still some up on the bank. I think it was easier for them or more readily available to use the big rails for mining. A lot of the old claims here on the island were being worked when WWII started and they were just abandoned because the miners went away to fight or work for the war effort if they were too old to fight. A lot of miners never came back to them 😕 🇨🇦 Beautiful claim you guys have there! That being said when they were logging by rail a lot of the short spur roads or landings weren't recorded and would have been forgotten about. Once when I was hunting I was walking through very large second growth along a deer trail and remember thinking to myself how perfectly level the trail was up in the hills and about 15 min later I came across the end of a set of rail tracks bent and pushed up in a pile of dirt and that's where it met a new cut block. That's when I realized I was walking on an old rail track but you wouldn't have known it for the trees were monsters and some in the middle of the track with all the under brush. It was really quite the epiphany but I guess one had to be there to get it. Now that I re-read this I'm just rambling, 😂 Happy Hunting 😁

[@echoairsoftgroup9309]

paul Wazzup This is what I was thinking. The track was used to move rail carts to move rocks to find gold. You should see if you can follow it to find a mine shaft. Just a thought.

[@victornyamu2547]

Can these types of finds be exploited commercially?

[@mavrixx0653]

Starting to believe railroad equal gold

[@BrianStocking]

Glad to see gold again. The sample rocks all look the same over and over again. Keep up the good work!

[@muajin]

How do you know where to find oxidized gravel?

[@weekendwarriorprospecting817]

This looks like absolutely textbook ground with packed river gravels 👌🏻 Great video thanks 👍🏻⚒🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@edwardwhynott2850]

Amazing videos great information that lead me to find my own gold deposit in Nova Scotia keep up the great work.

[@catch22frubert]

Congrats! I'm unfortunately in New York, where there is very little gold to be found, plus the laws are just terrible for any gold prospecting. All gold found belongs to the state of NY and must be turned over, or so the law says

[@edwardwhynott2850]

catch22frubert that sucks in Nova Scotia the government is all for mineral exploration I am in south west shore of n s lots of un touched ground and highly mineralization I found mine after building logging roads.Cant explain the feeling after finding the first few flakes of gold.

[@ferdburphel2076]

I've found it in 4 out of 5 waterways I checked but I still go to vt

[@edwardwhynott2850]

ferd burphel I found mine were quartzite and schists came together in ridges that run west to est and in the sulphides.

[@dappa4608]

Silly question but the rails ain't from a mine ? Did the old timers work that area ?

[@911mining]

No mines within 10km of this area.

[@Alamsentosa2786]

steady in the search for gold

[@timsanders9139]

I would test and see how deep that grey muck goes I've found some great gold underneath similar stuff.....

[@GeoForge]

That's a really nice find, I wish my explorations were that productive. Nice work 👍

[@tomcollins494]

Someone was mining there and set track for ore carts. Probably early in the 1920s or earlier. Afterall it was during the depression.

[@911mining]

Could be would of been illegally there hasn't ever been any claims and permits recorded on the creek.

[@phillipja2010]

Excellent pan results and video. You guys are genius. That's awesome gold nugget.

[@pappyb9644]

Nice gold enjoyed the video

[@erok268]

That piece of track looks like it was cut to be an anvil, the hole in it would be convenient for lowering and raising it with rope. if there were mines nearby it could be there as a a tool to maintain their tools etc.

[@torbjrngleerup5716]

If the gravel is red IT means its oxydiced? Or what are we looking for?

[@malkie638]

That forest is primeval,,was just waiting for a dinosaur to scurry into the creek,,,,😁

[@leehilton9932]

Nice of mother nature to expose a cross view of an old creek bed for yall. Is it far enough away from the creek to run a high banker? Yall be safe out there.

[@911mining]

Yes it is 😉

[@northernpickers]

great show buddy, really informative about the layers, amazing color's

[@Thrivelife123productions]

Those railroad tracks are an indication someone had been possibly mining ⛏️ somewhere near there years before.

[@goldcalaverite7112]

Holy Moly I was saying to myself that looks like textbook hard packed ancient virgin streambed then you panned it and I was blown away, I want to eat sleep and pan that kind of gold forever and ever !!! Great Video!!! (for what its worth maybe camera angle /reflection but the rock on the left at 9:12 into the video that rock you have your gold pan sitting on looks metallic and rainbow bluish color interesting ....mmm? you guys are in some great areas I love it!!!

[@JonKinchIsLegit]

Not sure if similar area if in VAN ISLE have found old train rails people used as markers because they wouldn't float away and would always find them in areas people had did lots of gold prospecting before . Awesome video .

[@petaniemas7417]

WOWW very good friend

[@natespics8276]

Does it have to be red for oxidization? What about orange and blond dirt.

[@michealklonowski5267]

Hey that oxidize layer how come you stoped digging there it looked really good..

[@911mining]

Well be back we where just on a sampling day

[@MNpolarbear]

The railroad ties have dates on them find a long enough piece, and it should have dates either welded on them or stamped on them

[@Dranzerk8908]

Sometimes they use railroad track to reinforce concrete or bridges. Maybe something around it was from.

[@ziongray918]

Get a mini electric highbanker like a rdh highbanker and run test buckets from every spot. just using the black matt for clear identification...they also have canvas buckets if packing is a problem.....i would also semi dam the creek up upstream run some hose and make Bigger gravity highbanker system.

Lmao... Made me pause for a second too... One pan !!!!

[@joekeil954]

I would build a wooded chute so I could roll the big rocks elsewhere and I would proceed to run that entire shelf through a highbanker. I'm talking like 20 cubic meters. I can only dream of gold like that.

[@-meganeura]

I like your racoon style panning, :) that grey clay layer only hold gold at the very top mm, it is horrible to work with, but I would try that area close to it. I suspect paydirt is within 1 or 2 meters and not very deep ;D that first pan was incredible! Waiting for first light to go gold prospecting!

E. Fifield lol gas powered pan lolol

[@e.fifield9034]

@@robs9574 with some of the pans I see an the gold that was recovered in just one pan it would pay for its self in one trip. I plan on purchasing one myself am very impressed with it

[@robs9574]

E. Fifield I’ve seen the unit briefly. I bought every kind of highbanker, sluice and dredge when I first started out. I drug them up my claim and still only got a couple dwt per day. Spent more time hauling gear and gas than prospecting. Then I got fast at panning. If I’m in shallow overburden I’ll pour 5 gal buckets of water on material. The heavies drop and the tails sluff off. Sucker stick the concentrates into a bucket. Using the bedrock this way is very productive and no motor to attract attention. One pan 30 seconds max, only take the material down to a concentrate in the field and bring that home to finish later. Two gallon of these cons can be very yellow. Respectfully

[@i.c.c.c.i.abdullahibnloren]

Awesome

I would think the masonry hammer that people gave you grief about, would work best digging in those old river gravels. Broad base, able to scrape out dirt. And frankly, half the price of a "miner's hand pick" ...
