How Much Placer Gold Can You Find in Caves and Drift Mines ?

[@Askjeffwilliams]

If you want to know how to find Gold and dig your own Drift mine that could possibly tap into the lost river of Gold ( Kokoweef ) then this video is for you. We will be walking through all the steps that we took to locate our Drift mine and how other people have done it too just by simply following our instructions and techniques. There is so much Gold to be found if you put the effort into it and with Gold Prices over $2000 an ounce, its worth it. Now smash that like button and if you want to learn more about Gold Geology just check this video out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXTaYoKDipyNr6M

[@meinkamph5327]

Jeff, I do have a serious question. How did the caliche you are working form? Ur a geologist ! What happened too form that area of the earth?

[@foxmulder7616]

Jeff. How/why is the water table so high in the oatman area? I tried to research it a little, I got some info on a nearby valley, it said it's full of sediment down 1500+ ft.. is it only in the mountains? Have you ever heard of 'primary water'? Water that comes from inside the earth, not from precipitation cycles? How else can you explain springs that form on top of mountaintops? There are a lot of them I see round these parts! And there's not enough land area up there to be that high of a water table, or water collecting up on the tops of the 🏔️?

[@meinkamph5327]

You hear running water.... Which way is it floating..... It is an underground river..... You may find buried treasure.....

Epic video Jeff, I love the footage of the Hard Rock miners. As a Coal miner for 12 years that now does Hard rock mining for Gold, Silver and Copper in very old mines / working that we are reopening and seeing things from long ago its amazing. Chasing the veins and assaying the ore, its awesome and so rewarding.. Your videos are amazing and your knowledge is spot on and so appricated, and the upbeat, goofy and funny things you do are infectious are greatly appricated.

[@storytimedavidcollins2897]

@@Askjeffwilliams Thank you very much for your response. I’m sure that you know this, but there is the saying, “If it was easy every one would be doing it “ That’s why there are so many homeless people living on the streets because anyone can live on the streets in say like California where they get a check for nothing from the government. But they will never have something that you already have pride in your work and your accomplishments and achievements all while having an amazing adventure that most people can’t even dream of and you have made it all happen through hard work, detection and sacrifice. As you well know anything worth doing isn’t easy, all though I still always want to win the lottery for big money and that is usually just a waste of time and money, but it’s just like your mine in some ways because you dream the dream of finding the mother load. Anyway your doing a great job with your mines, tourers and especially your KZbin. Dream the dream and I wish you nothing but the best of luck in finding the dream of ever gold miner a good productive safe mine that makes you more money than you could ever imagine. Take care, dream the dream, enjoy your adventures and continue to be an inspiration for all of us other hopefuls fools in finding the mother load. Thank you very much again, keep up the amazing KZbin channel to help others dream the dream and do something special, positive and productive in their lives as you have.
