How To Find Gold 

If you use a metal detector or a pointer, you can save a lot of time and sweat. A pointer is much lighter than a larger detector.

Exactly Becky. He keeps throwing away pieces 2 in thick that could hv gold in. A metal detector and pointer is for sure what he needs

Would a spot like this be worth building a small mine into to see what happens with that vein further into the mountain?

It's wild stumbling across test pits and whatnot out in the boonies, I haven't personally come across any old mines just yet (I did find what looked like a portal with a rock pile nearby on tunnel drive, but didn't enter it because it could've been a lion or bear den and the area is notoriously crumbly) tons of test pits just out of town though. While I don't usually find mines or paystreaks often, I do love looking at my boots after a long hike and being able to spot a flake or two of gold stuck on them. Always cool bumping into some "local" people online, might bump into ya in the royal gorge region someday if you're ever down here. I'll shoot ya a sub and see if I can't learn a bit more about the geology out here in CO.

@100GTAGUY very nice, test pits all all over up here, as everything except for a few mining/residential are all thar is available, if you can find available. Actually one of my board members has some land in Royal Gorge and hope to hit the Arkansas River sometime down there! Will touch base when we head that way!

Who is Go?

What do you want to thank for

sounds good to me.....where do I get it?

Hobby lobby has $6 lenses for coin collecting. It’s a set of 2. 9x,10x,and 11c

That's my ultimate dream. Piss off from society and live out the bush and on occasions when you need to visit society, you have gold to barter with.

Q

Iayyyyyy/yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/try.

say the schahada an pray in the 2-3 hours bevore sunrise to god. Jesus is Not god, Jesus ist the Messenger from God. "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger and Jesus is his messenger."

@@sternmond3126 make Dua for him. I did that but a lot of people don't understand Islam like we do. I used to believe that Jesus is the savior till I read the Quran cover to cover in 2016. I finally made my shahada about 10 months later. The Quran makes a lot of sense but the trinity didn't. Praying to the saints didn't. I was Catholic and encouraged to pray the rosary.

Pretty sure he didn't want to talk about religion. To each thier own. I don't care what anyone does or what they believe in, but I can't help but kinda take issue when a person is basically telling someone else that their religion doesn't make sense at the same time as telling them how their own religion does make sense, especially when all the 1st person was just basically wishing a separate person that they will be well and that their God will be kinda looking after them. (That's how I see it anyways.) Personally, I don't really believe in "God" exactly. I believe that there is A LOT that we don't understand. And also who knows what people back then exactly were referring to when they refer to "God". I don't want to say it's aliens.... but... it's aliens..... kidding.... maybe.... I also tend to believe that both the Bible and the Quran were written by people.... and people..... well, they can suck. I think it'd be a very hard temptation to resist for anyone writing the literal handbook that would guide a whole religion of people, to not write at least some things in the book in a way that would be more in line in a way that the writer would think he get some benefit or political purpose. A good example is how some parts could get, uh, removed. Tell the whole thing, ya know? I also think that people can deliberately misinterpret the texts is ways that better suit thier agenda. Because organized religion is probably the greatest form of control over people. Undeniable. I also think it's Undeniable that as society drifts further away from religion, the worse off things are. Except in the middle east, the shit is ALWAYS hitting the fan over there. What's with that? Am I an infidel? What do you do with infidels? Hmm, which religion doesn't make sense? Thought exercise, can you imagine what would happen if a person like David Copperfield or some other naturally skilled magician were alive back then? You think that a person like that wouldn't be called a God? Or worship him or something? Anyways, I do believe that there is some kind of energy within us, (soul? Maybe.), and that maybe that energy within us casts an aura that some people can see or sense. And that something happens with that energy when we die. I just personally don't really think that there is some all controlling being that essentially relegates us to being his "ant farm." I just like to think of us as more than a hobby for a all knowing, all powerful, all controlling Supreme being. But who knows? See? It kinda sucks when someone just start talking about things you weren't really talking about and kinda wondering if your religion change may not have been..... anyways. I don't care what other people do or believe in, but when the 1st guy is just withing someone we'll and saying Jesus will keep him safe (or whatever), maybe just take that for the kind hearted gesture that it was, realize that is getting more rare these days, and not take it as an invitation to try and convert someone. You converted? Cool. Good for you. Maybe not everyone wants to hear about how thier religion doesn't make sense and that's why you converted.

Great trip Jason! Thanks for dragging my hiney up that last little bit.

Do you have strength to go on an adventure at 70 years old?

@@beautyandthesimp are you kidding me, of course, what does age have to do with adventure, just a number, it's the excitement of the search that motivates, finding what you are looking for is alright but it is the quest, one more, just a little bit better,is it over there and how to get to the end, of coarse at 70+ adventure

@@rogerhanson3468 my dad died before reaching that age

@@beautyandthesimp I'm sorry to hear about your dad, but you can still have the adventures of your life, if you go with the idea of getting rich quick, don't do it, it's never about the money, it's about the experience, I was once told, books are knowledge, and knowledge is money, the More knowledge you have with an open mind for learning you adventures will be awesome 😎

Have you ever seen all the quartz veins on the way over to lake Chelan?

@@enriquecasillaspalacios3280 I haven't been over there in a long time but I know Chelan Butte had a few prospects back in the day

"Who needs a gym? Just be a gold miner!" :P

You righr

I don’t see, where he had that much “gear” he was carrying, … between a miners helmet, a 3lb hammer, prybar, sack, to put the quartz/gold, into, … what? Probably less than 8lbs? Does not feel anything near our infantry’s 60 plus lbs rucksack marches, … who are just ordinary men doing extraordinary things set before them, … so I do not understand what you are talking about, please, … so, … by all means, elaborate, …

@@jimfurr81 Yeah :) I love it when he eats the beans and won't apologize for being messy.

i agree there is also a really good section on how to allusively alleivate working "hard" !! (9:33)

Good thing there’s no gold there anyway

Was going to mention the same thing, that & a good pack (for samples) , 20oz rock hammer, 10x loop, & snacks for day tripping..

Have you found some rutilated quartz?

How did you just called my Uncle Stinky Piet Jenkins? Just because he has big stinky feet, Hair all over his body and no opposing thumbs doesn't mean ...oh my god, Uncle Stinky Piet Jenkins is a sasquatch...

Holy crap, prospecting is not for me

At 22:20 to the right of the video That puts it into prospective 👀

Do you know how to read surficial geology maps? I would look through your local government's surficial geology map and go from there. Keep an eye out for ice direction indicators on the map and in the field. Look for recent alluvial deposits on the map and glacial-fluvial deposits. Other features to look at on those maps are basal till (commonly called veneer till) and ablation till (especially terminal moraines).

I'm 64 and that's exactly what I do now. I have switched from Highbanking creeks to climbing mountains to do Hardrock prospecting. Very tiring but exciting!

Black sounds like magnetite..silver?

@@thomasackerman3995 Well, silvery LOL, I don't think there's any native silver around here

17:53 gold!

Gold is more common than some believe and people refuse to believe it can be laying in your backyard. Is easier to say it’s pyrite than to say a kid found a valuable metal they overlooked

@@realestdaddymac5974 Gold really isn't that common, but it is easy to overlook if you don't know what you're looking for. I feel like folks tend to think it's only available deep in some mountain or whatever, when the fact of the matter is that you can find it in a stream, sometimes your own backyard (but I wouldn't dig too deep... you'll have sewage line issues). Gold also isn't the only valuable thing to be found. Things like Amethyst, Ruby, Emerald, and other precious gems can be found just by sifting through dirt in a river, especially if it comes through a mountain. I mean, I remember taking a trip to Chattanooga TN, doing a bit of panning and found all sorts of precious gems. I didn't need the money or anything so I donated them to my local school's Earth Science teacher because he didn't actually have raw samples of them.

@@point-five-oh6249 here in Pacific Northwest we get lots of garnet. We practice panning by learning to keep the garnet in the pan. And gold can be found in most any mountain river here. Some big finds I heard of were right in dirty rivers in middle of big cities. Specifically Edmonton Alberta

USGS divided the entire country into a grid. Used to be each county has paper maps of the grids around them with all the claims set out; dunno if they ever digitised. So take GPS coords, figure out what county you are in, and then go find the mines department to get the maps of the area.

Use a sdc 2300 minelab,that machine finds fly shit size gold in rock and all positions
