I personally enjoy your drift mine operation videos. It gets me motivated to rebuild the portal to my drift mine and get it operational once again. Of course, the geology lessons are always great! You’re a master at your craft. Good gold hunting! Take care.

[@johnramirez5032]

There was a newbie who bought a high end mine lab detector. He went to quartzite and found a big nugget on his first try! Almost a ounce.! Talk about beginners luck!

Hello, I am very interested. As you know, there are tons of investments out there and without solid knowledge, I can't decide what is best. Can you explain further how you invest and earn?

[@togle184]

You’re my favorite standup geologist. Your routine is constantly changing but always hilarious. You must have won every possible teacher award from your students and from envious administrators as well. Geology resembles a foreign language with all the colorful names of specific rock types and minerals and eons of processes. You make what could be a boring oratory as attention demanding as the most edge of your seat drama of an Oscar winning movie. Than you for all your fascinating videos.

I found Molybdenite in Quartz, while panning Gold in a beginning headwater stream, in WNC… with jagged placer gold flakes….200 feet below the hillside springs. Wondering if molybdenite… is a good indicator mineral, for a possible rich Gold deposit? I was amazed when I first found it , and also some Corundum in my pan. Great video as always Jeff.. love your geology lessons.⛏️⛏️⛏️💯💯💯

Hi Kelly , yes Molybdenite is a great Gold indicator especially in porphyry copper-molybdenum systems where gold mineralization can occur alongside molybdenum mineralization

I have 2 volcanic dikes that run thru my yard, useing your distance rule, we are like 1 mile from the shield volcano. The main one is out in the national forest so can't mess with that. Thing is it comes up thru sandstone. I guess I need to send some in find out what it is. It's interesting in that you got quartz vain with the shinny grey sulfides intermixed like you showed, but then there is this red like ruby semi translucent hard vain as the quartz next to it, sometimes I find it as mutiple layers or intrusions going quartz red stuff, looks like bacon, lol. Then I have this thick vain where its the quartz mixed in with the red chystals. That one looks like cinabar, so I havent tryed to find out myself if it is. Places all around my yard and the forest had hot springs. I'm not really looking for gold in it and I have some soaking in vinigar for over a year now just in case the white stuff wasn't quartz. If it was calcite or limestone it would of desolved by now just leaving the red chystals I would think anyway. There was some sort minning here but its from anciant times, just trying to find out what it was they were after. I don't think it was gold, but could of been mercury maybe, but from Aztec times going by erosion around the entrance, like a perfectly cut doorway starting in the limestone layer on top of a sandstone ledge whos direction points the same way as the fault runs where the main dike comes up into the forest below. Anyway need climbing gear to get into it and theres booby traps on the way, big stacks of rocks up on the cliffs just being held by old sticks. Going by a native map this area was off limits even to them. Theres more info I have, but can't say on here. I would like to figure this out on my own but looks like I need to send some of these rocks, whats a good inexpensive place to send rocks?

[@johnruckman2320]

How do you find contact zones when it's not so obvious? I've seen serpentine outcrops, which can be indicators of gold bearing ore nearby, but not see any contacts because of all the dirt. I'm in Yreka CA on the west side of the Klamath mountains and the ground around here looks like a mess. There are a lot of mines, tailing piles, etc. but it's hard to figure out what they were taking out. Add the fact that the old timers were very tight lipped.

[@mk3ferret]

Thinking its time to hit my secret spot, been a while gold was 300 an oz when I was last there, wasn't worth it then but now its a different story

[@deepwaters3335]

Please visit Western NC streams and Rivers. The streams are down to bedrock, where is the gold? Big Hungry River to be exact. Or just explain what happen to the gold in a "massive 1000 year flood".

[@nhragold1922]

Bedrock, and surface in low pressure zones. I found alot of nuggets in flood areas in the first 6inch of gravel behind big boulders after massive floods.

Hey Jeff, question here, I have a crystal mine in Colorado, some of my lesser quality crystals I noticed there are lots of bugs and little mineralized pockets. There’s only one way to find out, but would you think if I were to crush some of these that they could contain Gold?

My family and I bought a silver and led mine. In the paperwork that we got it says 36" highly oxidized peral vane. What does that mean???

[@Askjeffwilliams]

I think it said parallel vein which is another vein that runs parallel to the primary vein

[@D-train69]

@Askjeffwilliams I'll get back to you on that. I live in a different state than my family. The paperwork is with them. The army core of engineers did 25 or 50 test holes down to the 2,500 foot level back in 1944, I do believe. They said their is 50 years of mining ore down at the 1,800 level. The cross cut is 100 feet, and the vertical shaft is down at the 1600-foot level. The bad thing is their is a creek over the top of all the ore. I think the EPA would shut it down if we went after it. So it will probably never get extracted. I sure would love to see those vanes of silver down their but you know, wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up faster.

Huh 😂😂 that a lot of information 👍

[@UncleBildo]

While the geology of where I live is unique on the planet, and is very interesting to study, we have boring rocks. 2 miles deep of basalt from the Columbia River Basalt Flows, giant coulees ripped clear by the Missoula Floods, but we don't have any really fun mineralogy. It's pretty much basalt and "leaverite" (as in leave'r right there, it's crap!). Dad wasn't much help in learning the rocks when I was a kid, either. If it wasn't leaverite, it was probably a "sex stone" (just another f'n rock). I have to wander quite a bit further to find the shiny, or anything else overly cool.
