How To Find Gold & Mineral Deposits!

[@lizzymoore54]

This is the video I needed! I needed to understand the basics before I could understand what I was hearing and seeing. Thanks for sharing.😊

[@MrDalerex]

What did you do to your hand? Again good show and again thank you. Nice samples again. Sure wouldn't mind one. Lol Have a nice piece siting on my shelf. Thought it was your typical pyrite, quartz and galena. Decided to use my garrett pro over it and it went off as gold. Now yeah I may crush it and get a gram of gold if your lucky. But as a sample it's still worth a few $100. Makes a tough choice. Where do you drawl the line on crush or save? Anyway good show

[@burtgummer463]

Great video. One suggestion, I've found that making a video of samples like these works best in direct sunlight. Those samples must really shine.

[@glennwmurphy1]

KNOWING "WHAT KIND OF ROCK IS THAT?" IS THE BIG FIRST STEP. EXCELLENT. MANY THANKS.

[@sarahsparks4997]

Thak you for teaching me about MINERALS

[@gordonfiala2336]

I worked for the Ministry of Transportation digging for aggregates. I found my findings corresponded to your statements.

Great video brother, thanks for sharing. This is stuff us prospectors should know. Subbed and liked 🤙

[@woodenspoon7507]

Live in a part of England where there’s a quartz deposit near me and found some gold once or twice

[@justinmcnutt5558]

Thank you for educating me about geology, mining and how to find gold better. I would like to suggest and request a video.... Exploration 101 video?

[@hobbyadventurer583]

Good to see that your venturing out to show this new type of vid for us out there.We appreciate it,please feel free to make more vids similiar to this one .

Enjoyed watching this post. I'm currently engaged (for 10+ years now) in researching in preparation for writing a book about the history of gold mining here in North Carolina (Charlotte area). The 1st documented discovery of gold in the U.S. was made in this area in 1799, not in 1849 at Sutter's Mill, Ca., as many think. In fact, in the area where this first discovery took place, the first (or among the first) gold mine opened. The Reed Gold Mine is now a N.C. State Historic site. Includes a visitor center with some interesting displays...not only of gold and gold ore, but samples of the type equipment employed back in the day when the N.C. Piedmont supplied all the country's gold till 1828. Some sections of the underground workings have been restored that are quite interesting. There are also several trails that weave in and around the mine site and other old shafts and placer pits located on the property. Jeez, didn't mean to write a synopsis on N.C. gold mines and mining, but, when it's something your very interested in, and your wife has heard everything you've had to say about gold deposits and now leaves the room when she sees the gleam in your eyes when you've either finally tracked down some info. about a mine you've been looking for for years, or, sees you walking in her direction with another chunk of quartz with gold veins running through it, well..what can I say? In going out to explore what is left of some of the more than 100 mine sites/prospects/placers that were located here in Mecklenburg county/Charlotte, N.C., I've been pleasantly surprised with the amount of gold/gold ore I've found with only a modicum of effort at some of these old, forgotten mine tailings/dumps. Invariably, the host rock in which I find it in is quartz, while in other areas of the Piedmont you primarily find it in slates, hence the name the Carolina Slate Belt. Again, want to say I enjoyed your post in here, and for maybe reading some of my too long post as well. Anyone reading this and wants to talk gold, or maybe has some info. you think would be interesting/helpful in my quest of N.C. gold mining history, please feel free to shoot me an e-mail [e-mail] Regards, Bill Randolph

[@911mining]

Thanks for watching! Would be interesting to read your book when it comes out!

[@erenibrahim688]

Beautiful samples mate Good way to show evidence of a contact zone Heavy mineralised peace’s 🤙🏼

[@edwardthacher1622]

Great information thank you

[@lonewolfhatchetjack4774]

awesome video, what color rocks do you look for that help identify silver in them?

[@911mining]

Depends silver oxidizes a blackish color, however in sulphides you may not see a yellowish color with oxidization.

[@lonewolfhatchetjack4774]

911 Mining & Prospecting thank you for the info. much appreciative of your videos

[@panikrev175]

My grandfather used to take my brother and I to a bunch of old mines when we were little. We found loads of rocks like these in tailings piles. One mine literally made a lined a lake with tailings, turning it into a pond.

[@meradu2]

Nice work love the info and the rocks I have some of this rocks minerals you are showing 👍

[@samanqurbany5241]

It is look like Chalcopyrite inside quartz veins!! I have some samples like it.

[@10MinutestoRouletteFortune]

Very informative and great job coaching.

[@Pyrorazon]

I have a question my family has about 100 acres of land in the north Georgia mountains about 6 miles from the town of Dahlonega north of Dahlonega. My question is it's been in our family for decades. We have mountains and then we have a creek. that's a good way away probably a couple acres away from the bottom of the mountain, so there's no old minds or anything like that. I think it's pretty much untouched land if I wanted to look, where would I start? I have some in the creek. I haven't found anything but every rock I have brought back. It's been highly mineralized on the top of the mountain middle of the mountain or the bottom of the mountain if I wanted to try to look on dryland, where would I look?

[@xx_hxney_xx_muffins_xx1926]

Nice samples bro

[@arotogtech]

Just wanted to ask, which is the most reliable gold detector to use in prospecting for natural gold deposits in a quartz vein?

[@KowboyUSA]

Real nice specimens.

[@ritadoucet-canada8480]

There is also fools gold that would need to be explained, very informative thanks.

[@911mining]

Fools gold is another term for iron pyrite, as it can fool the amateur prospector. However fools gold isn't always just iron and sulfur, we have multiple claims which hold iron pyrites with good grades of gold and other replacement metals. Everyone is always after the big nuggets and free gold, but leaves sulphides untouched, I will say this most minerals we find are from volcanic or hydrothermal activity and more often than not associated with pyrites or some sulphides.

[@ritadoucet-canada8480]

In thinking, weight should be an added bonus to discussions, some rocks are of same volume or size yet the weight of one is not comparable to the other. So much to learn and so little time to delve further into such an interesting subject such as rocks, Mega thanks for the prompt reply

[@whoamyow5677]

911 Mining & Prospecting there is an excticnt volcano near me that when it was active was under the sea I have found a quartz crystal about 4-5 inches into a rockface as it has been quarried in the past I believe they were quarrying to make roads and that but we found some quartz seams is gold likely to be near?

[@meghanemma728]

Thanks so much for this video! :D

[@erichoaglund]

So in those samples the stuff that looks like gold is gold or chalcopyrite? Is there anyway to know just by eye if its gold or pyrite? Thanks. Love the videos. Wish I had as much schooling on geology it would make my gold adventures more profitable no doubt.

[@911mining]

Yes you can tell gold has a different look than chalcopyrite if you tilt your rock gold will stay the same shine and is a more buttery looking color, chalcopyrite reflects differently. Gold is usually not visible to the naked eye if it's under 30 grams per ton. You would need some magnification to see it.

[@whoamyow5677]

Theres an extinct volcano near me and me and my dad foundba smokey type quartz uk is this a good sign we also found a quartz seam and there are many colour and rock variations

[@RichWendel]

Valuable info, thanks! Would be great if you could ID the individual samples you present.

[@RichWendel]

Meaning, kindly list the minerals in the samples (not redo the video!). The samples are stunning, I'm guessing were seeing more than Au, Ag and Cu....Thanks!

[@anantarizkidewanggana6378]

Some native gold may be included in the sulfide mineral like pyrite or chalcopyrite, am i right?

[@911mining]

Sometimes yes

[@goodvibesonly7418]

Are these gold embedded in those stones??...I literally found so much these and took it to home and everybody said these are not gold and I threw them away...I'll definitely go back to that place where I found this

[@scotlandstreasure2543]

Hi guys I found my first nugget recently. It’s rusty as hell like iron staining. Was found in a crevice with lots of hematite & magnetite. There is a lot of quartz rocks in the arae, should I be collecting the rusty oxidised ones and sampling 🤔

[@OwlyEagles]

I found some coal here in Montana on a reservation with gold like tiny tiny veins through some coal. I'm curious if it's fools gold.

Hey I just bought a metal detector and found 2 rocks that look like metal but don’t know what type of mineral they are, can you help me ?

[@nativeamericangodfirst1083]

I have quartz, decomposed granite, iron staining on some, placer county. I wonder if I have gold

[@Chandler726]

I have hundreds of theses types of rocks we found in the creeks, rivers of Rockies. Are these worth anything? I think I have a few rocks that might have some diamonds in them? How do I figure that out? Do we try o tie off the eroding to find out or will it ruin the minerals? I’m so lost! Lol

[@osamabinladen824]

[@typicalrockhound9887]

thanks man , well needed info for noobs like me haha

[@frankreiserm.s.8039]

You are the only prospector that I have seen on youtube that told what to look for for underground minerals. GREAT JOB! Watch my prospecting and geology videos by typing in Frank Reiser M.S. on youtube.

[@jonc2276]

Alright so the area that I’m in is high in limestone . What I think I have is fool’s gold it has a decent iron content and a possible calcite crystal ( sulfide ) that shows off a gold looking color in a possible contact zone. The area is not known for gold content. Some of the samples have rust color were the gold color should be exposed

[@coltmerg4202]

What % is the gold coloring is Au ?Is it gold w/t more metal alloy mixed in it ,to make it look like a-lot ..

How much cost if a silver like that that rock

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

I have recovered hematite from the surface, as well as quartz, and from my well i have gotten magnetite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and what might be malachite, but that does not tell me that I have anything....

[@nagabadavid8028]

For me i discovered dolomite

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

@@nagabadavid8028 I aim to rig up a power dredger to lower down my well to remove all of the fine material and once I have it all top side, carefully screen and evaluate it for anything useful and valuable. I am hoping that minerals found are beneath my land, but it is entirely possible that it is flowing down through an aquifer and could be from many miles away. Still, at least if it proves to be something valuable, I can estimate if it is worth while to pursue. I am guessing I might be able to dredge 10 plus tons of silt from the well bore, depending on how many openings are there, so there might be enough there to get a vague idea if 'wet load sluice mining' is an option. If so [HUGE IF], I would reactivate a shallow nearby well, and just use this well purely for wet dredge mining until it stops yielding anything of value.

[@imdatmamak9677]

Dear Sir how are you? Can you give me idea of these kind of ores?

[@zwhirlwhorled7570]

In many cases if it is gold the amount of energy to extract it from the rock is more than the golds worth.

No such thing, fools gold is a poor term. Most sulphides such as pyrite or chalcopyrite which people call fools gold actually contain gold. Most deposits in our area are associated with some kind of sulphide.
