[@me5768]

Where did you guy's find this old miner he's full of all kinds of information. He reminds me of the old miners that I used to talk to in my younger years. What awesome gentleman.

Loved this! I’d love it if you’d make a series out of Claus and his vast wisdom slowly becoming lost. Would be an invaluable archive 👍🏼👍🏼. Great job

[@muzza566]

Having been a open cut operator for my entire life I love hearing his life story, watching Tom & Julie explore underground workings it puts it all in perspective Well done young fella

✨💛✨💛✨💛✨ Great interview, awesome stories, and an abundance of knowledge by a sympathetic miner who generously shares his experiences - a true treasure! 🙏🏼 ✨💛✨💛✨💛✨

[@vinivv]

Look at his hands and fingers those are a man who's worked hard all his life.

[@4seasonspix]

✨Yes, Klaus is absolutely right - talking (and listening!!) to seasoned miners and prospectors is pure gold in terms of knowledge! I had the fortune to prospect and be friends with two seasoned California miners who were in their late 80s at the time. Their stories and the 'how-to' experiences they generously shared we me, a youngish woman at the time, remain priceless✨

[@frankyensan]

I was captivated during every single second of this. I hope to see more of these

[@richardhughes3994]

I hope this finds its way into the Library of Congress, this is so valuable, dare I say, more so than gold - thanks @MineOperator

[@scottdilley356]

Im always waiting for your videos

[@krockpotbroccoli65]

Klaus sure has an interesting accent. Its the accent of a german guy who learned english and spanish at the same time. What a wealth of knowledge. Cool dude.

[@stangdriver66]

He saw it cumming ! He flew 1956, in 1961 Berlin Mauer was built and east germans were caught, i wondered his speech and where he came from - okay then i understood same country as mine ;-) I Hope when i speak english it sounds not so bad.....great guy ! Thx for showing

[@Stevesbe]

Awesome

[@EWasteJILL]

Hallo Klaus. Ich habe in Westdeutschland gelebt, bevor die Mauer fiel, und nach der Mauer bist dugroßartig. So Klaus it took Google translate 4 tries to get that BAD German in words. 😊 I did ask it to spell in east German.😅

[@EWasteJILL]

So Klaus I do hope you went back to where you grew up to see old FRIENDS, and family. When I went to live in West Germany the 2nd time the wall just fell. Very INTERESTING TIME TO LIVE THERE! 😮 Please tell everyone about the Trabant car. TEE HEE. And telephones and HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE 2 GET. (IN 1990 24 or 30 years for Trabant car and telephone. ) People signed their children up at birth to get both. Communism at its best.🤯😵‍💫 SERIOUSLY I can't make this stiff up! Ich Liebe Dich Klaus!😘💖 I know how to spell the in German. I LOVE YOU TOO MO! 💖 From Minnesota 🇺🇸 😎

[@aussiegoldtrolls]

I noticed you keep the juicy information for yourself, In particular where he plucked that 5 ounces out of the ground 🤣🤣

[@sc2824]

What's going on with his right hand at 16:57?

[@mineoperator]

I had to place a picture of the background for privacy of the occupants inside the house.

[@sc2824]

@@mineoperator Aha, thanks. I figured it was some sort of screen - thankfully not a tear in the fabric of the materium.

[@kimmclaughlin7752]

That was A-1 info and fascinating to listen to his stories!
