My wife and I can't thank you enough for all you're doing here on RU-vid. We are in the process of turning our hobbies into a business that we can work side-by-side in. Seeing somebody such as yourself reaching out and caring about those just getting started has been a breath of fresh air thank you again from The Merry's

Your book is a great book, and I've really enjoyed reading it. This video about "indicator hacks" is a sweet little video with lots of good tips on where to look and why to look there; your explanations and extra photos to illustrate your points are well done. Thanks, and all the best, Lanny

This is great! My great grandfather was a prospector and I have a couple of his journals. Your videos are helping me understand what he did and the thoughts behind his writings. Thanks!

VERY GOOD information on their waste gold 😊🥂👏👏👏

I learn so much from your videos! I’m now ready for next gold mining trip after this one!!

Nice video quality sir and very informative ,, i appreciate it 👍

Thanks for all the tips.. headed to Sierra County next week

Cheers Chris👍

I bought your book years ago and it truly covers everything! Enjoy your videos too, it's nice to gain prospecting wisdom without suffering through a stupid clown show.

Good video mate 👍👍👍

Good calls. I just shake my head at all the places I've fished and hunted in Montana that were once mined for gold. Its all over the place and I walked over it.

Awesome video..

thank you

Between "Fists Full Of Gold" and your website, the info is worth Thousands, if not tens of Thousands...much much more than the cost of your book. PS: this is the third time I've watched this video..!

Good information !!!

I ordered my gold bug pro..woohoo I can't wait and I got your book so I'm ready .. and I will start on my 5 acre parcel!! I got my 1.5" large clear rock examined and it is identified as a clear Florite ... so not quite the diamond i was hoping for but thank you for all your inspiration i can't wait to start having fun with my new recommendations. Thank you Chris Ralph for all your knowledge into videos I've been trying to play catch up. I love geology and finding precious metals would be exciting!

Thoroughly enjoy watching your vids from Australia Chris, still trying to crack my first Nugg SDC2300 in West Aus! Hoping I catch one before I catch Carona! 😉😁😁😁😎

Great video

Jeff Williams suggested your book in one of his Videos, but i had already purchased it Really infomative to me. Looking into going to Colorado this year to see if i can put the information to work.

The are in your vid looks quite a bit like an area out near me in southern CA. And every one of your tips applies here. Good vid!

Vary nice video

Thanks Chris for sharing more of your knowledge with us. If you're thinking about buying Chris' book, do it, you won't be sorry.

All really good indicators ! Ima get that book for x mas maybee earlier lol

Good content Chris. Enjoying your recent uploads. Ordering your book. Will have to meet & greet one day & have ya sighn my pan :)

Nice Tips Bro 💪😎🔥🦅💯🍺🍺

Thanks Chris another awesome fun helpful and concise video! Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge!

These are really good tips thanks alot. Any areas of the Bitterroot, ot in between the Bitterroot to the other side of Helena? I just got gifted a rusty pan by my grandma so I'm hunting and I got some small tools I'm looking at your other videos for a good metal detector and idk where to give a good look to start my Montana gold search.

Thanks for this video. Is there a lightweight metal detector you would recommend? Thanks!

Having lived in Calif many years I wish I had a detector knowing all this back then.! From your other vids you seem to indicate a more powerful detector for deeper deposits is more expensive..correct?

Its alot of work moving rock piles, but there sure is some great gold underneath those piles!

How about speculation of the amount of metals in an ore? Like a DIY assay?

Any recommendations on a detector to use in NW Wyoming?

All of the years I've been backpacking in Ca I've been looking at gold workings and not even realizing it

When you’re out test panning, how much gold do you need to see to keep on working that spot?

Hi Chris. My question is related to testing the soil. I don’t know what that means. Could you please explain or give me a reference. Thanks.

So I'm looking to prospect a mountain that was hydro mined in the late 1800's. I have to walk thru a claim to get above it were there is no claims. Is there something i need to do before packing thru a claim to get above it?

nice video.im wondering about where you can look for gold, im from va.and thinking about moving out to cal.to retire and look for gold the rest of my days,are we allowed to go into the goverment lands to look for gold,where exactly are we allowed to look,and im wondering what county or place in the northern cal is a good safe place to buy land and have a home,hope to hear from you or anyone who wants to help

Does your book discuss geological areas for prospecting or do you simply need to research ie mining books, maps. Especially for Nevada. This might be an unanswerable question or I need a bong hit

When I can afford it 🤔I’m going to buy your book 🤔I’m looking forward to getting it so I can learn more🤔? I was wondering do you have information in this book about hydrothermal or Epithermal vents🤔 ? 🤔 On my property I am looking for indicators /associated minerals 🤔👀⛏🔍🤔 to locating thermal events ⛏👀🔍 I would ❤️ love to know if information in your book can help me. 🤔 awesome video🤔 🙏 I’m learning a lot from your videos😁🎥👍✊️✊️

Hi Chris i love watching your video's . I live in california and have searched on and off a good part of my life. With limited success. Although i jave not found the mother load or maybe i have but lack the resources required to extract the gold but in any case i have aquired a lot of knowledge. The past several years i have become extremely interested in remote sensing technology. But have as yet been able to master the required intelligence to have put its potential to any use for my own search for the metal. Any way i apologize for rambling on so this is the question i want to ask you . I recently have found someone on line who is selling glasses that he claims can locate gold . I had my doubts but the more i read about the technology the more interested i become . He says that you get the signal that gold in decent quanity is present by the color as seen through the glasses of the plants grass and trees directly above the gold . Im not sure how this works but possibly its using the photosynthesis plants use maybe an ion or electron i dont know but i would like to know your thoughts in this claim . They cost around 500.00 bucks and are made by sony. Thank you.

thank you chris, a question about sluice boxes is there much difference between a plastic box and a metal one besides the heaviness i talking about trapping gold

Pretty smart buddy if you ever want someone to tag along with you let me know I do some prospecting as well

Chri! Where is your dog? Surely he will warn you of approaching bears!

Are you in the Sierras

Wonder where he is at? What state?

when u were telling us about the stacked rocks it would have been an excellent time to mention claim markers. just saying.

a cleared area ? a cleared area ?? what does that mean . sorry but that wont help me

Not one hack in this vid, so please stop saying hack ! just say indicators ! apart from that annoying word was a good informative vid .
