Gold Expert Reveals Secrets of Where nuggets come from

[@markvolker1145]

I live in the flat swampy coastal region of eastern N. Carolina. I had a friend digging sand off his property with a excavator to use to build a new shopping center. I noticed that once he got 15'-18' he would hit a blue clay. I examied the clay and it had white river washed quartz and rocks so i took a tuna can full of this material and took it home. I didnt hold much hope for it so didnt touch if for 2-3 months until i finally decided to pan it out... and sure enough, in that one tuna can i found 30-40 colors but by that time they had finished digging and it had filled with water!!!!! I would love to get down to it again!!!

I did buy your book at Miner's Depot in Quartzsite and a membership to their metal detectors club. Drove around scouting it out and the terrain is heavily dug. I take that as and good sign. New metal detector needed for this. Nokta gold finder looks likely. Thanks I feel more confident than 7 years ago when I gave the hobby up... With the wrong machine.

[@markanderson3740]

Thinking forward to my pit diggings, and the potential flood burst fan. I have several logical 'timelines' and geological premises I am relying on toward the likelihood I will find gold on my 100acre glacial till/river bench. The first one is that glaciers exploit specific local weakness in the bedrock by plucking, and the final landscape reveals that bias, such that the gully I refer to is the result of preferential erosion, first by ice, then by water. The principal host rock is Meguma group, pushed up onto Avalonia during the Alleghenian orogeny, continental shelf sediments of sandstone and shale originally deposited in the Ordovician off North Africa. Monzogranite plutons, melted from the subducting oceanic plate, rose to emplace in the 'now metamorphosed' Meguma, liberating and concentrating gold into the quartz-rich water, and filling the fractures as the standard model. Those fractures are the very weakness the hydrologic system exploits, and the deepest erosion features are likely evidence toward First year stuff so far, I think. Behind the cliffs where the gully is eroded there sits the plateau crown of a monzogranite pluton, and I find hard white bull quartz outcrops sitting proud on the tops of the ridge that surrounds my claim to the N, W and S. Those qualities give rise to my interest. I still have a question about how much the standard freeze-thaw cycle and solution activity would affect a quartz sample as it sits under a living forest for 10000 years. Will I find the gold continues to be liberated, and thus sunk to the first impermeable surface, or is that time period too short to see much change in the 'ore' released. I plan to examine every stone I pull out while I'm digging, I'm going to try and identify the source location as local or distant. The Younger Dryas only created local glaciers, moving fresh sediment only a couple miles in my direction, but a lot of the original sediment was left by the Laurentian ice sheet, with stones as far away as northern Quebec. I also want to identify the cross-section of the paleo-channel to gain a better understanding of how deep the till bench was worked. I have questions about how quickly clay layers form, the progress of water settling the glacial till before soil develops. I expect I will discover a lot more once I start to dig with a scientific interest in front of my lust for gold :)

Best of luck to you in your prospecting.

While some of your videos are obviously oriented for the inexperienced prospector, I can sometimes glean some knowledge from them. Then when you get into the more advanced subjects, I definitely learn! I wish I knew what I know now, back when I was able to get out wandering the hills. I’d love to see a video about how to interpret the geologic maps, they are pretty confusing to me!

[@ChrisRalph]

I'm doing the outdoor stuff now, while the weather is still good. I'll get to more indoor or around the shed stuff when the weather cools off and its a lot harder to get out to the hills. I'll be sure to do one on geologic maps in the coming months when I do get into that "indoor" mode.

[@RockingJOffroad]

kenny cadarett, I’m not talking about topographic maps, I’m referring to the geologic maps! The ones that show the types of rock,where the fault lines are, etc. These are very technical, and they use weird aphfa-numeric abbreviations for the different rock types that seem to change from one map to another.

[@ChrisRalph]

[@erikboucher8494]

I think that I read in your book that gold doesn't physically break because it's so malleable. Could one of the specimen nuggets that you showed in the beginning have a piece break off by natural processes? Or will it just get banged up with the edges rounded off and reshaped, and the mass will remain the same. I've seen so many other videos where people make it sound like little flour gold came from being ground -off another bigger piece. Or I will see someone worried about breaking a nugget by hitting it with their pick ax while digging it out of the ground. My theory is that there's no natural process that could break gold or cause a piece to loss its mass, it will only get reformed into another shape with the same mass. This means that small flakes were always small flakes liberated from the original host material. The only way for gold to grow or gain mass would be when it comes out of solution. Would it take a man-made process like an impact mill to provide enough energy to physically break gold down into smaller pieces?

[@ChrisRalph]

No problem that gold will break off of quartz. - quartz does shatter and break, while gold mashes down. Rounded pieces of gold can be mashed into flakes, but it does not generally break down to dust like a chunk of quartz. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@fhorneteetenrohf]

Smartest thing I've heard watching all theses different videos about gold!! It's not gold is where u find it . It's ,,gold is how you find it. Big ,little, it's still gold!!

[@erikboucher8494]

@@ChrisRalph Would you clarify please? I understand that gold will break off from or be liberated from host material like quartz, and that the gold in quartz is generally very small. It sounds like what you're saying is that gold can break down into smaller pieces by mechanical processes? I guess my question is can the mass of a piece of placer gold change? Thanks

When the the Scientists dissected the nuggets & found it to be crystalline; are those crystalines similar to Golden flakes like Mica-flakes (although mica can have a gold with burnt residue appearance).

[@ChrisRalph]

No, the nuggets were very different from that.

[@redwood6737]

Thanks for what you're doing, and I did pick up your book due to a recommendation from Jeff Williams, I haven't had a chance to read much of it yet but I'm looking forward to it. I would also like to buy the gold-bug 2 metal detector that you recommended. We bought land up above Forest Hill . 2 miles from Sugar Pine Lake .a 10-acre parcel that has a gold mine on it with a 185 ft deep air shaft. Also going across the property are lots of ditches which I presume took the water down to Iowa Hill so that they could do hydraulic mining. I can only speculate on how they dug that air shaft straight up from the mine. Do you know any good books that describe how they would dig such an air shaft as far as did they build scaffolding or just prop boards against the walls as they went up. Using only candles it must have been quite a dangerous job with rocks falling at your feet and on the board you're standing on. I have not gone far into this mine of ours as the ceiling rocks appear loose but I have built a platform over the air shaft so we could drop a camera and just marvel at the job that was done. I'm specifically looking for history on the Sugar Pine Lake area which includes Iowa Hill and upper Forest Hill Road. Thanks for your videos and book.

[@ChrisRalph]

The Iowa Hill / Forrest Hill area is one with a lot of gold mining history. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@brianfagnan]

Hey Chris, awesome vids! I wish you could have showed a pic of a shear in a fault zone maybe with VG. Now that we know where nuggets come from, could you do a video on how nuggets form and the geology to look for. Especially if metal detecting? I really enjoyed reading that in your book and would like to see some real world pics, descriptions and interpretations. Thanks and keep’em coming.

[@ChrisRalph]

These fault zones are often covered with dirt, so are hard to get a good picture of.

[@accessaryman]

great videos Chris, i enjoy them immensely. when you explain that gold doesn't grow, i understand how they wouldn't grow like other crystals, but wouldn't they as they traveled get pounded together forming larger nuggets on their journey, and would that explain their growth and different sizes , shapes, with the agitation with rounded river boulders , ?

[@ChrisRalph]

Just like rocks - sand does not get pounded together into boulders, boulders get pounded into sand and smaller rocks. So no, little gold does not get pounded up into nuggets.

[@SandhillCrane42]

Hello Mr. Ralph, I did order a copy of your book. Because you kindly offered at the conclusion of your video, I've been wanting to ask someone about this: I live in the Fairbanks area/ Tanana region and am under the impression there is quite a bit of overburden covering the somewhat fine gold. Is this as good a region as any for a person with only a pan and sluice? I never see any bedrock and the old timers often dug very deep drifts before hydraulic mining and dredges. Just wondering if this is as good as it gets for surficial deposits out west, or is the gold here less accessible without heavy equipment, if you know and have the time, of course. On the data sites they always say the paystreak is about 15' to 90' down, which doesn't encourage me. Thank you!

The gold in your area is much less accessible than average.
