We go back and High-Grade the Rich Gold Veins of the Lost Wagon Wheel Gold mine to see how much Gold we can get in one Gold pan. We have no water so we have to dry pan and use our drinking water to check the samples. What we find is incredible.

This has got to be the best example of how easy it is to lose an outcropping of High Grade Gold Ore. You always here stories of lost Gold mines and think how hard would it be to find them but as you will see it does not take much to cover some of the outcropping . We take samples and dry pan with some drinking water to reveal what Gold is in the deposit. Click here for more vids on lost Gold mines ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nSegsChkSCY.html and smash that like button HARD !!!!!

I have a lode mine Jeff. And I discovered a piece of Quartz about 10 x 12 inches covered in copper. So I started digging. At the time I had nothing but hand tools. None the less I dug for about a week and I was able to open it enough that it's big enough that I can stand inside and it is approximately 12 to 14 feet in width with all kind of different types of brown and tan and yellow, sulfides it looks like in the Quartz. I haven't been back in 4 years by due to 3 hernias and 3 different hernia surgeries. The mine is in Johannesburg California in the Randsburg mining district. When I go out there I stay 30 days. I get water in town from the water Company at 5cents a gallon in 60 gallon Barrels. I bring 40 days of 3 meals a day and cook on a Coleman stove inside one of the addits and sleep in the back of my Ford Excursion which is 4x4 which is very much needed to get there. This next time I am bringing a generator, 3 jack hammers and 2 hammer drills which should allow me to get 1 weeks work done by hand done in a day or so. There are 2 850 foot addits and several 300 or so foot addits . The history is it produced 1.7 OZ's of gold per ton. It would be great if you were by able to come out and take a look and give advise. I am 66 years old and doing all of this by myself. I had planned on bring in my Nephew Justin but unfortunately he was murdered in June of 2023 so him being the youth I needed for the Operation is gone. I have had the mine since 2013. Nothing to show for it yet. The addits are Horizontal not vertical. I could use and would like some advise from you as an expert. I have been watching your videos for longer that ten years and like the way you treated your Father and all the people around you. Anyways, hope to hear from you. Even if I don't Thank you for all I have learned from you. This is most likely my last adventure and I would like for it to be a success. God bless. Be safe. Respectfully, Jeffrey Hank Williams Spradley. Yep, that's my real name. My Father and Hank Sr. we're friends

I remember from boy scouts camping in the Superstitions. Just off the main trail, we hiked down from our camp area and crawled under some boulders that only ten year olds can fit. There was quite a bit of gold streaks in the sand under there. It shows how much gold is in that area, laying just out of sight.

@crohkorthreetoes3821 2 месяца назад

I found a lost mine once, after a big flood the entire bottom of the creek was solid yellow pyrite. I didn't have much use for 'fools gold' but I took some samples home and lost them to time. Years later I learned gold can be in pyrite and I crushed and panned those samples and they were full of gold. Between then and now all the roads were closed to public entry. So I bicycled 15 miles back in to that creek. It was covered 20 feet deep in large boulders and over burden. There was a mine there too, right next to the creek. I am likely the only person that ever saw it in the last 100 years.

@SilvasSmallMining 2 месяца назад

At 5:50 in, “Tell me your story of lost gold” I got a small story of lost gold on my claims. Old friends of my mentor, Tim Fadda, had told me about twin drifts that were started on the mountain side somewhere on the claims back in the gold rush days. The miners dug into the mountain and found gold, but it just wasn’t worth the labor, at the time, to continue the work. The drifts were lost to time. After some scouting work, I believe I found the site! Completely overgrown with vegetation and trees. I plan on clearing and sampling the site this year/season. I’ll have a video of it for sure!! I just got to wait, unfortunately, for the Sierra Mountains snowpack to melt to be able to access the site. Good gold hunting to you Jeff and Lila! Take care.

One of the theories on the Lost Dutchman was that it was a pocket of the type that is pretty common in Arizona, You need to bring a pack mule or a portable processing rig or both, The arid environment also has caused the lack of exploration for multiple reasons.

@LuckyBaldwin777 2 месяца назад

A pack mule is all you can bring. The Lost Dutchman is in a wilderness area. There're rangers stationed at the trailheads just watching for people trying to bring in mining equipment.

you asked about stories...thirty years ago I visited Mt. Kokoweef with my friend Waves. We were seeing Mobius Rex, the legendary Sixties character, who encountered the Kokoweef legend and moved into the area. He took us up a terrifying ride up the side of the mountain to his adit, while he told us the story of an unknown underground river that drained the whole California gold mining area. It was supposed to have a literal river of black sand many yards wide, with gold beyond belief. Entrances were discovered, then lost, and others sealed up, so as you say, the gold is still there in the river area, if the stories are true. Mobius showed us the sintering pits where they tested ores, and which still contained 300 year old charcoal. Jagged cuts from primitive knives and saws. I saw enough to convince me that there was plenty of smoke and probably fire. Sometime later, Mobius had to decamp, as the government put the entire area into protection and began to rip out the signs of mining and camping in the area. But there must be many other entrances to the river. Someday...

Jeff's reference to winnowing reminded me of a lost-mine story involving the Huachuca Mountains in southeast Arizona. But first, the winnowing. I heard a long time ago that when the Spanish worked the placer deposits in the Cañada del Oro north of Tucson, winnowing was their preferred method because they were working hillsides well above the stream. I remember hearing something, too, about the blankets being wool. When they were old and worn, the blankets would be burnt to get to gold trapped in the fibers. I know of at least one Spanish mine in the Huachucas. During WW2, when the Army was still segregated, Fort Huachuca had a lot of black units (it had had these since the Apache Wars). Anyway, three black soldiers had some time off and were walking down a canyon when one fell through the roof of an underground room and onto a stack of crudely cast gold bars. The gold had been most likely stored there with the intention of getting down south, but the Apaches probably prevented this at some point. Anyway, the three made the mistake of mentioning their find. The canyon was cordoned off and heavy equipment brought in. Interestingly, the Army itself never got the gold. It's a well-documented story, having made it in the papers over the years, and still well known in the Sierra Vista/Fort Huachuca area.

You should consider just hauling around a 5 gallon or 2.5 gallon jug of water with you on your atv. It would make it easier to pan these remote areas and gives you something to rinse your hands off with after digging and panning and less waste by reusing the jug and keeping it in the atv instead of hauling a pack of water bottles around

Dear Jeff I am happy to see you in a new discovery. We use the term "dog's tooth" in gold-bearing silicas, where gold ions have penetrated into the silica and the silica has turned completely yellow, which has an average of 200-300 ppm of gold. Jeff, the gold in our mines comes from pyrite. Is the gold in your mines associated with pyrite or did it originate directly from the magma?

Here's a story of a mine I found in the superstition mountains. Back in the 80's I spent a lot time exploring the mountains surrounding area. One day I climbed halfway up a mountain sat down and took out my binoculars and was scoping the surrounding area and across the valley on a mountain I saw what appeared to be a small cave. Climbing down the mountain I lost site of it but I continued on and I started up the mountain crisscrossing back and forth till I found it. It turned out to be an old tunnel to a mine. The hole was pretty small had to get on my hands and knees to get in but once inside I could stand up with plenty of headroom. The tunnel went back thirty or forty feet. About half way in the tunnel I saw a piece of gold on a quartz vain an I took my pick an was trying to get it out when it finally broke loose it fell into a open crack and I left it. The mine is pretty much hidden you can't see it unless you knew where to look for it. Next time you are in the area of the superstition mountains I'll take you to it.

Jeff, I always learn a lot from you. I need to go back and take notes. Anyway, I'm not clear on 'claims'. When you're out there and find a 'juicy' area that can yield, do you (can you) set a claim for an area? Or are these on public lands? Can you claim on a public land or just grab the gold and run? .... so to speak!

@Askjeffwilliams 2 месяца назад

just check land status and if its open for mineral entry file a claim on it ....

Jeff there was so many old mines not on any maps and rock outcroppings I found when I was a kid in the California Desert it was unreal. If I knew then what I know now from watching your videos and reading your book I would have hit the mother load. Unfortunately all those places are now in Wilderness Areas.

Very cool. I'm on the look out for jasper and agates right now. Then i might try for some jade. Wyoming is full of beautiful rocks and tons of river rock where you dont think it should be.

Reminds me of my teenage years when I'd get permission to prospect on claims...then prospect...and then when they find out what I'm finding (because I'm disgustingly honest with them about my finds), they get upset & kick me off the claims. I was a kid & didn't care about risks, so I prospected places they wouldn't. Risks = fun = money. Though I must criticize on the panning. Jeff you should have been more prepared. Not just the screen, but water (because you knew you were gonna sample), but also a magnet. Because, unless those blacks are "bland", i.e. non-magnetic, you could remove those and make the processing ,much easier.
