HOW TO FIND GOLD EVERY TIME IN WASHES OR HILLSIDES

[@Askjeffwilliams]

You can find placer Gold that came off of the Lode by following my easy steps. In this video we show you how to do that everytime and the first step is always research. With my east to understand steps you will find Gold everytime too and if you have your own story on how you find Gold we want to hear it so leave us a comment below. For more videos on How to Find GOLD , just watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4ulnmuYbKqYbtk and smash that like button ....SMASH it HARD !!!!!

Jeff, if hand stacking is an interest, you need to visit the workings along Moccasin Creek south of Moccasin Dam. The stackings there look like architecture. Walls of dry stone masonry are built to contain the cobble tailings, and the walls are around 4 to 7 feet tall.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

[@charlesjohnston9814]

I love your videos, Jeff!! Educational and entertaining!! Question for you. Do you have any suggestions on detection equipment that would work well at scanning pieces of ore to determine if they hold any gold? For context, I'm prospecting a creek bed for a potential placer claim near Ouray, Colorado in a difficult-to-reach area that requires hiking into (and backpacking out anything worth processing). There are so many other metals in the rocks (iron, lead, zinc, copper, titanium, silver ...) here that I'm not sure a metal detector would be much use. I rented a handheld XRF scanner and scanned maybe 200 pieces of ore without any success--though I apparently have quite an eye for finding pyrite! I later learned these handheld XRF devices only scan a very small area (maybe 8mm wide and 1mm deep)--not useful for my intended purpose of identifying higher grade ore worth the trouble of hiking out. Thanks in advance!

Where can i find the geology reports you mentioned that one should study first before prospecting? Are you talking about the MRDS database at the USGS? Those reports always seem to be somewhat simple and short and lacking details and history. Thanks Jeff, another great video!

Fantastic video!!!!!!! When your sampling in the desert about how much gold are you looking for in order to bring in bigger equipment. I usually dig half a bucket of 1/4" concentrated material per sample. I have found one spot on one of my claims that I had 30 specks of fly poop for my sample. No larger pieces at all. I don't know if I should bring in my drywasher or not. I am thinking if there is no larger pieces around that the size of the gold won't add up to much at the end of the day running my drywasher and how much gold will I lose considering the flakes are so small. I am thinking I have to find larger gold to get my bigger machines out. Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks Red

[@Askjeffwilliams]

yes ...I would recommend it ...we go off of 5 specs per pan to keep going

I love how Jeff explains the process, then I watch the old 1950's b&w 'Death Valley Days' TV show and understand it.

[@philtoth8246]

​@Askjeffwilliams I spent many camping trips in Eastern CA and NV visiting old mininging areas in the 80's - 90's with my Dad and his lifelong friend. This is why i can give an educated guess where you are at. The old men loved the old time radio shows. Mostly Jack Benny, Johnny Dollar, Drag Net, etc. Every once in a while they would pull out stuff that I have never heard before. Death Valley Days was on of the Radio shows the sometimes listen to. Wikipedia - Death Valley Days was a long-running American radio and television anthology about true stories of the old American West, particularly the Death Valley area. It was created in 1930 by Ruth Woodman and ran on radio until 1945. Were those Pine or Juniper trees in the background? I believe they both grow in the higher in elevations. You don't see very many of either tree in the Mojave. If I had to wager a guess, you were not in the Mojave as the trees were rather thick.

Hand stacking. My grandfather told me a legend about George Hearst, William Randolph Hearst's father. He discovered gold in the coast range. He bought the large ranch on which the deposit was located. Every summer, he took the family there, and they camped out and worked the deposit. Eventually, they discovered the vein from which the placer gold was coming from. The legend says they built the Hearst Castle on top of the mine to hide it. That's why Hearst built his gigantic mansion out in the middle of nowhere. Some say that it's the old Lost Padre Mine. I was there as a kid and sneaked onto the grounds. In a wash near the base of the hill the castle's on, I found all kinds of those piles that you call hand stacking. All these years later I find out I accidentally stumbled onto George Hearst's secret placer mine.

[@JakeOfAllTrades11]

that’s a great legend! now i’m scrutinizing google earth trying to locate quartz vein extrusions on the Hearst Castle hill in SLO! Haha! Oh, and Patty Hearst is still my favorite Marxist-Leninist Commie terrorist babe 😂❤

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

​@JakeOfAllTrades11 Be careful if you go there. It's private property and the sheriff will arrest you if you get caught. My grandfather had many cool stories like that he heard from his grandfather. My favorites were the stories of lost mines inside the city limits of San Francisco. For example, If you look on the southeast side of Telegraph Hill you'll see how it looks all dug away. That's because in the early days of the state the governor's mansion was on the hill and his young daughter while playing dug up a 3 ounce nugget which started a small gold rush.

[@JakeOfAllTrades11]

@@LuckyBaldwin777 Hadn’t heard that about Telegraph Hill! Very cool history

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

​@JakeOfAllTrades11 There's a bunch of stories of gold strikes like that in San Francisco. The city is built on a mini mountain range that has at least one fairly rich gold-quartz vein in it, and several rich pockets of nuggets have been found. The finds were accidental, and when they were made, San Francisco was heavily built up from the rush, so a thorough search was not possible. There's still gold rush gold in San Francisco. The problem is there's also multi-million dollar buildings sitting on top of it.
