We plan on making more videos with this model using all the ideas that you the viewer have suggested so keep those comments coming.

[@f150twinturbo7]

To me you are a Genius! Keep them coming 👌

[@johannesdesloper8434]

MAybe learn something from the Dutch? They had scale models of Rivers and Harbours from all around the world in the 60's and tested flow characteristics on scale... So everything... flow rate.. pebles etc etc. even tide and waves. The biggest model was a 1:75 600 meter long model from the Rotterdam port. Maybe you can grind black sand in a ball mill to get it real fine. Ofcourse this model tells a lot already... It shows the principals.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

thanks

[@Askjeffwilliams]

thanks and great idea.

[@johannesdesloper8434]

@@Askjeffwilliams I think probably very basic shapes could be also very helpfull to get insight in deposit behaviour.

[@Klesh]

It’s probably the best model ever showing where placer deposits are hiding and why. Id play with this for days very good work man!

[@Askjeffwilliams]

thats what we love to hear ....we are too

[@spectrumofcreation5679]

When are you two going to calab?!? Shane, how do you think slim would react to you! I bet Jeff and slim could get a lot of laughs messing with you! I was wondering how the gold would react when say the river comes to a dam area. It's a instant low pressure some when it runs into the back up but how will it drop out because the water flows out alot smaller hole higher up.

[@jacobwilhelmjacobwilelm3485]

I love both of you guys video KleshGuitars and Jeff Williams. 💰💰In them thar creeks

thanks

[@allansgoldmining]

Jeff !!! You really out done yourself !! This has to be one of the best educational demonstrations I've seen in a long time ! There is real value in this for all prospectors to take advantage of. Thank you for taking time to build this, especially consideration to important details and structure. Definitely keeping this one in my Favorites ! Love it !!

Thanks Allan, really appreciate that and glad you liked it ..it was all Slim's idea ya know.

learned more about it from this video then watching all the other videos. Thanks for sharing your results Jeff.

[@jeffreycooper8390]

yes you may find great peace in realizing what you are actually dealing with biology in geology and may also help to locate the au once you find the location of the bioparts again Roger spurr is primer and contactable like you brother...

Thank you Jeff. This is the best video I’ve seen on how gold and black sands travel down creeks and rivers. Good job!

[@Askjeffwilliams]

thanks

Never change Jeff. I wish I had an uncle like you when I was a kid, hell even as an adult. Full of knowledge, very intelligent, entertaining (which means we learn faster) and this model you made. Mind blown. Thank you for uploading your wisdom.

And yea I’m gonna look at those spots in the river

[@123spleege]

Jeff, I've never seen a prospector go to the lengths that you go to. Truly awesome man. Been watching you for years. You are a teacher....or better a professor! I'm going to watch this another 100 times at least. I'm back from Asia and live in Placerville CA. All I want to do now is take the knowledge from this video and just walk many of the local creeks and the American up and down, watch and observe. Use my head then get some GOLD. You are one awesome person. Thanks.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

thanks , we want to get all of the info out there so that it can be used by everyone.

I appreciate that!

[@ultrat3k615]

i was litterally just talking to my partner about needing a realistic visual way to see the way the material settles in the river as our river changed its course drastically this past winter. than i get home and you have this posted ive been busy so i just now got to watching but thank you for your time and expertise making the model its good to see assumptions of how things settle actually come to life AMAZING JOB GUYS!!

You can read a river but it takes your subs to read the youtube algorithm. I dont comment often but your channel gets me excited about geology again and that's why I want to share this quality viewing! Youda thought he paid for this comment but I just want to spread the word!

thanks Carla, love hearing that

Great video. Haven’t seen anything like that. It changes some of my thinking on where to sample.

[@AndyAckland]

What also changes my thinking is just 2 days ago some fella found a 2kg monker in a grassy paddock near me in Ballarat, Victoria Australia. www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-27/gold-nugget-found-in-ballarat-by-retiree/11353044

SUCH A GREAT VIDEO!!! After watching this I looked at my local rivers a little differently and found some new spots loaded with gold that nobody has thought to check before.

[@RobWenzel84]

I know it's been awhile ago but I just found this video and Jeff I just have to say that is absolutely the most amazing model for showing how to find gold in creeks I have ever seen, I have now learned that in the creek I been panning I have been looking in all the wrong spots I always find the black sand and very tiny gold now I know what I got to do to find the bigger gold, Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to build and show us this, you and Slim are the Best

Great video! My bud and I are in a dry spell with the underwater detecting for jewelry. We decided to get back to our prospecting roots and learn to appreciate the gold a bit more. Watching this video was super motivational for me to get back out on the river bank! I did a much better job sampling and was more thorough than I had been in the past. Happy to say I found a real nice pay streak! 3-4 grams per bucket (classified to 1/8") and that's really good for these parts! Thanks again!
