Jeff, I watch your videos religiously. I have have an education from you that a college degree could not match. THANK YOU!!!

[@Askjeffwilliams]

always our pleasure

[@trevorwhat]

Thanks again, Jeff. You’re a great teacher and inspiration for upcoming generations of young miners.

@@Askjeffwilliams Do you have any tips for understanding claim maps and how to choose a site to prospect? I new and I'm overwhelmed with information. Thanks, awesome videos.

[@c8089923]

I have two degrees in geology, and I am learning more about exploration geology from watching Jeff's videos than I did in 6 years at University. Is all the faulting, brecciation, and fluid replacement the result of a collapse caldera? Thanks Jeff You are a gem ;)

[@Askjeffwilliams]

exactly .... Silver Creek Caldera which formed about 18.5 Ma and formed the Peach Spring Tuff

I wished I could afford a metal detector, my wife and I have dedicated our lives to rescuing dogs and have so for 17+ years now, fought cancer 9 times and lost, currently fighting off the 10th, but something to get my mind off of the devastation we are experiencing would be fantastic, but like I said to start with, just can't spare it. Just wanted to say though I could listen to you Jeff for days on end man, and learn all I could about geology. We live in North Carolina gold has been found here in Stanley Creek, and I would search myself , but I can't right now, the dogs need me. I honestly love your videos and would donate, maybe one day I can bud, hope so. Good tidings and hope you have more great adventures with your awsome enthusiasm!!!!

[@Askjeffwilliams]

thanks and really glad you can rescue all those dogs ...they need that ...just like people ...hope you can beat #10 ....maybe with natural means ....so much is out there on how to cure it .... www.amazon.com/World-Without-Cancer-Story-Vitamin/dp/0912986506

I tell you what I've been enjoying this video more than any other video ever from you. And that doesn't mean that they're not all other ones. Great, I love every video that you put out. Absolutely great informational. And I really love getting a good look at what it looks like to see some gold in case I ever also find a rock wall with some pressure's metal in it. This video just has it all man. Entertaining and truly packed full of information valuable information. Thank you for all you do Jeff. I will be putting these in a playlist for the audience that I have to watch whenever they choose

[@bill29-g3b]

I've been watching your channel for some time now. Years, actually. Your dedication to your viewers is apparent. I've decided you deserve the support so you've got a new member. So come on, let's go!

[@Askjeffwilliams]

Wow, thank you and welcome aboard

[@dawnac6453]

Hey again Jeff,. That's what one of my mines are... Fissure fault. The mine I've been working. Coarse grained granite on both hanging and footwall... Fault filling is mostly schist hosting sulfides and brecciated iron stained quartz. Theres also intrusions of granite that's like a conglomerate type structure. There is 3 veins running thru the fault. The veins are nearly vertical. This is all underground in a shaft I'm sinking.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

sounds great and keep us posted ....let us know if you have questions on shaft sinking

[@dawnac6453]

Hi again Jeff. I'm down about 60 or so feet now. But we really need to continue trying to keep the mining alive. It's becoming like a dying art and most are too lazy(the able bodied ones I mean) to do it. Although they go out and get claims they never do anything with them. Then they hold those claims for years and years which keeps the true miner any chances of reworking those claims. I think, in my perspective, they get them just to say they have them. But now, in my own opinion I think that if they can't work them or are too lazy to work them then just don't bother claiming them up at all. Leave them to the true prospectors and miners that will work those claims. And btw, I got all those geology terms... From your vids. Hehe

[@tresta67]

Hello Jeff, I've been watching your programs for years, and I've learned a lot from you. I'm truly grateful. I wish there wasn't a dictatorial regime in Iran, and you could be my guest here. I would take you to various places across Iran. Hopefully, this will happen soon. Your friend, Darius

[@markharris6171]

I didn't know about your informative videos until recently. I worked in AZ for 5 years and did some exploring around old mine sites, but reallly didn't know what I was looking at and when I did recognize some structures like slickensides I had no idea their importance. Like to go back out one day with the knowledge I have gained from watching your videos. Thank you.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

you betcha

[@allansgoldmining]

My first impression was you were at Goldfield, but then I saw the Elephant Tooth and knew exactly. LOL ! Love those stringers of chloridic veins. Amazing ! So, this would indicate that most metals would have been oxidized millions of years ago, leaving the gold behind ? If so, would be perfect for leaching. Wondering if there's enough volume for open pit heap leach operation ? Those brittle vein structures would leach like candy ! Thanks for showing us around Brother Jeff. As usual, we smashed that "Like" button real hard for ya !

[@Askjeffwilliams]

exactly my brother ...... now smash it again real good like hahahahahahaaahaha

[@Jon.......]

I was thinking he was in Randsburg at first, but then the narrator say AZ and I figured it might be Oatman from the what I saw of the town in the background.

[@allansgoldmining]

A lot of similarities in the desert. That's why there's so many lost mines. Behind Oatman looms a distinct white volcanic ash extrusion called Elephant Tooth. You can see it for miles. Dead give away. 👍

[@waltertodd4479]

Jeff, im liking your new style of teaching geology much better. I hated your previous geologic model videos where you spouted out a bunch of unexplained geologic terms in rapid fashion. Now you are in the field and showing us visually what really counts like rock types, structures and alteration. Good work! Could you possibly show us a different type of gold deposit and compare and contrast the oatman type with that new one? Great discussion on crack and seal quartz vein development. Also could you flesh out more that connection you made between rhyolite and quartz vein or good ore development?

[@Askjeffwilliams]

thanks and that a great idea

[@nativeflight7079]

Hey Jeff, I was looking at geological maps and it seems that any BLM land within my proximity is part of the Late Cretaceous epoch. The report goes on to say that the lithology of the area is of marine sedimentary & metasedimentary rocks such as sandstone, shale and conglomerate. Any possibility of finding the elusive gold in areas of that demarcation? I’m going to go explore regardless because one has to get off the hiney to get the shinny. Thank you!

[@Askjeffwilliams]

[@jacquesjackcoomans2295]

Jeff, again, and I can expect nothing else from you my friend, an excellent and informative video with a glimpse into a bygone era and history. I am aghast and somewhat jealous of you guys in the States, the history and the exploring one can have, as a kid all I wanted to be was a cowboy and prospect. Now 40+yrs later, I get to fulfill that dream by watching vids like this in super wide screen . I have a question though that has intrigued and baffled me. During the aerial footage of the sentinel @4.54 time stamp, in the distance, in the top right hand of the screen, there is a different colored rock formation that seems to reach for the sky, what is it, it looks puzzling. This sort of thing is the reason if I ever managed to come to the US of A I would be there for 2 yrs or more, there is so much to explore. After all these years, I'm still subscribed so YT hasn't given me the flick and I'm still waiting for Slims store to re stock with some of that juicy juicy limonite paydirt. Big hug to the crew

[@Askjeffwilliams]

thats great my brother and we are really happy we can do that for you .... that is a rhyolitic neck ( Volcanic plug ) it is white due to all the felsic material in it and came from the top of cooling magma chamber. It came up first as it has a lower melting and crystallization point and as the chamber changed in composition due to Bowens reaction series so did the material coming out and thus you get intermediate and mafic material around it . They call it the Elephants Tooth in that area for good reason.... we are working on getting a lot of Limonite in stock so stay tuned for that announcement ....thanks my brother and you to ...Cheers

good job .... really glad you are learning and it will make it so much easier to find Load deposits

[@genefulm]

Jeff, Thanks for answering my question from your last video about quartz veins. Can I infer from this that A) Quartz (silicon) can be dissolved in hot, high pressure water, and B) these zones of veins were deep (miles) in the earth at the time they were deposited, and since then erosion has brought them to the surface?

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

I would think it's uplift and erosion.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

yes ...just think of hot guisers and the slicious sinters the create at places like Yellowstone.... yes through uplift and erosion they are brought to the surface and exposed

Jeff & Team at 22:52 or 22:53 in the upper left hand corner of the screen (in the sky) is a fast moving object. Don’t know if it’s a pixelated glitch or something physically moving faster than anything we have. Just thought I’d tell you. It really is extraordinary if it is in fact a flying object. Oh and consider your location where you filmed this, Arizona, where there are 100’s of reported ufo sightings. Not saying it’s a ufo but Arizona does have 1000’s of sightings. Some of the most famous of all time has come out of AZ. I enjoyed this video like I do all of them. Plz create more content.

Wandering aimlessly.. you all watching Jeff's videos are receiving so many valuable lessons. I don't have to tell you, don't do what a foolish old man did. Save yourself some time. Watch the videos.

The contact between the ryolite and the green andesite seems to be the place to look for me in my mind. Gold doesnt always follow the path you think it would. 2 oz per ton ain't bad! I imagine there might be times where its more 2 oz and times when it too little. Would one be able to find and Placer gold from the weathered hills around those hill sides? Yea i know it all depends. But there aint a snowball chance in hell ill be a hard rock miner. Im 64 and im lucky to dig a hole big enough to put me in afterwards. So the only thing id be doing is poking around them mines and certainly not in them. Great video! I feel like im right there with you.! Andesite is hard stuff. Genniss too. Serpentine can be green too. I wonder are they all choritic. Ill look it up. Facinating world of geology. The Grand canyon is an open book to the past. The processes over billions of years.
