[@Askjeffwilliams]

A little known secret to finding incredibly rich Gold deposits is that collapsed caldera's form the perfect environment to host very rich Gold deposits , especially when new fault systems cut through the older fracture rings the radiate out from the caldera itself. Calderas can be spotted using a Geological map overlayed on Google Earth. For more vids about find Gold deposits , just watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWeVZXerqapnaNE and smash that like button ...smash it HARD !!!!

[@ProspectiveProspector]

Would you ever do a video in Canada? Maybe you could get permission to do one of your videos at a big mine in Northern Ontario. I live in Northern Ontario in the "Blake River Mega Caldera". We have many gold mines operated by companies such as Agnico Eagle, Glencore, Alamos, Newmont, and several others. I would love to see a few long videos on our local mine geology with your input. Thanks for the great content.

[@michaelfercik3691]

Jeff, You need to team up with me for dowsing gold on this calfera to pinpoint and map all of the high and low grade that is either exposed or especially if buried without being exposed on the gold systems. I can dowse depth buried to the gold and most important is I can grade the deposited gold locations with dowsing high grade helicoptering to medium grade helicoptering to low grade turning or slight energizing with just a trace.

Wish I was watching Jeff's videos when I was much younger and enjoyed hiking, but we didn't have computers or smart(dumb) phones or Google Maps/Earth. Just Libraries and books.

Jeff, You know, you have got to be the most informative geologist I've ever even heard of on the internet. I have a question though and you are definitely the one to ask. PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE Can you do a video on the 1799 gold rush back East in the Blue Ridge Mountains. There are gigantic quartz deposits between the Carolinas and Virginia. I've panned a few spots and estimated that the assay is somewhere around 1-2 grams per ton on the eastern slopes of these quartz structures. Can you elaborate, Please. Thank you.

thanks Billy, you betcha , always wanted to make a video on the Carolina Slate belts

[@BillyReed68]

@@Askjeffwilliams That is awesome! Thank you so much. I've been panning in culverts and streams just off the main roads and found modest placer deposits right where they should be. Now, I wish I could get in there with a dredge, but I don't think I am getting the permits for that. But I can pan all I want as long as I don't trespass. So, LET'S GO!

[@voodooloukerensky3884]

Living in the Mojave Desert is a rock hounds delight. Not just for precious metals and gem stones but other rocks that have either been spewed out or was exposed by the elements over time can be polished up for your own enjoyment or to make things with. And few people realize how volcanically active this area was, though I should say IS since there is a hot springs in the apple valley hills (Bowen Ranch), and I know the mighty mojave is plenty deep so for that trickle to get heated tells me theres still melted rock fairly close to the surface. I can deal with the ground under my feet shaking alot better than I can the air I breathe actively trying to kill me with a tornado or hurricane.
