What Gold Ore Looks Like - Mining 101 - Gold Rush Expeditions 

Thank you for the straight talk on gold rocks.

Really enjoyed that video. It was one of the most informative videos pertaining to questions that have been haunting me since I began hunting for minerals. You can imagine how pleased we are to have Those types of rock in our piles. What I enjoyed as well was the thorough examples and explanation of its behaviour was that it was to the point. Thumbs up all around G.R.E.I.!!

Extremely helpful. That "UGLY!" at 5:36 will forever haunt me at night though

Thank you, you are the first people to answer that question for me

Wow we are rich together with that kind of information

THANK YOU ,! Finally a video that identifies Gold Ore .( ! PROPERLY !) You guys rock. I have a feeling I will be learning a lot from your work.Thanx again from Butte Montana/ The Richest Hill in Earth ✌️

Thanks for sharing..happy to see the wonder of this world and its usefulness..God bless

All the History in that ........Thanks for the share

Great video very informative made me realize that some of these rocks I've been hanging onto are worth hanging onto thank you

Sweet video helps a lot

Oh my goodness thank you! I've been collecting rocks for almost 4 years now and people always told me I'm silly blah blah they're just rocks and I'm like is they're pretty and you just blew my mind i gave soooo much of all of that!! And then some yipeeeee now I gotta see if you have videos on how to... get it out...

By far the very best video for identify rock with gold

One thing id like to know is how to tell the difference between the gold and pyrite in the quartz and iron ore without using special tools and chemicals

Amazing identification of metals and gold in various gold ore samples. Thanks for sharing.

One , if not the best information i have come across . Very well explained . Many thanks

I never get tired of watching this video.

thanks for showing the different ores containing gold. I'm on a new site that nobody's ever mined other than test pits. thanks again for showing the ore. you'll get better photos if you take them at Twilight.

Tnx for lesson.... North Caucasus...

Thanks for this! Now ready to visit the untapped places in the Philippines. :)

That answers my Minecraft question. Thank you 😊

I went to an area close to gold basin and checked black metamorphic rocks (I think they're metamorphic). Found a big vein looking outcrop. But not sure if it carries gold. My metal detector won't sound on quartz vein but right next to the the vein it will sound when swinging detector passing the quartz.

Great lesson

thanks for the education

That video just showed me what ive been dyint to know thanks

I think your video is awesome! It was very helpful and easy to understand and the best part is I have several of those heavy ugly rocks that are a lot like your examples!! Thank You so much.I guess now I will go to your website to find out how I go about extracting it from the rest of the minerals.

Thank you Excellent stuff🙂

very intersting an i enjoyed . geology is more than meets the eye ...

I just watched this video with both cell and wifi off up to 4.3 mins but did not show in my history. We Are sitting on a lot of iron though 😂 Great videos! Very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you for this valuable information.

Beautiful video

Very well done and informative video guys. Looking forward to using this as a guide on my next prospecting adventure. Maybe I'll find a beer.

Cracked me up and learned something. 👍 6 mins in. THAT rock is all I really see here in Oregon. Off a claimed site anyways. Recently found an approximately 30ibs rock too heavy to carry that was covered in pyrite and rust, clay and hard rock like that. Just off a trail in the right environment for gold. Gold bug kept reading it like 2 different metals, one which was a gold sound. Broke off pieces. Took home tested. .18 IN JUST MAYBE 6 ibs of crushed material. Silver, Gold flake throughout along with alot of pyrite, specs of solid copper. Hiked back up 2 days later to get the rest.....GONE. Someone left it, came back to get it or stumbled on it as I did. Made me sick. Been scouring an area of Mt. Hood National Forest since December trying to figure out where they got it from or where it came from. Where it was just didn't have what was showing in that one piece. Possible, but not exactly where it was. No trace

Thanks for a VERY informative Video

Thank you this is a huge help

Super Informative. All meat no veggies.

Extremely Informative Video!! Thank you!

ty so much.. I feel like crying.. you just clarified alot of my life long suspitions.. also my significant other has made me throw alot of my rocks away or he has just thrown them away because he said that gold always is just hold and it's undeniable.. but I kept trying to tell him that it's hiding in the ugly stuff, the black stuff, also I believe that pyrite is gold, just the mineral that it grows in causes it to take on another form of gold. also everything u said about quarts and pyrite and gold run together I have experienced just that ... but he calls me crazy.. I'm so thankful for your educational and eye opening video. ty so much. now if u will excuse me I've got to go get my rocks before he throws them out ...

Hey dude Thank you for your time and shareing the facts

Video was helpful! Thank you.

Very informative and to the point. I wish I would have taken more interest as a younger person. I guess it’s never to late

Your advice was very good and very right . It helped a lot . I believe yous and used your advice. My picks are being checked now it's 9:36 pm , Feb 4, 2022

Love it great info best I seen or heard yet thanks

Awesome video super interesting but makes me claw my eyes cause iv moved on from darker ore in the field to looking for more of the shinier ores ='( and now I am going to have to go back and take a look at some of the older darker deposits I have found. Excellent video would like to see a 2nd video where maybe you do more of a slower close up of the different ores and go alittle more indepth about them and the surrounding host rock/environment they where found in.

Some real helpful stuff , great video dude 👌👍🤙💥⛏

Great educational video !!! You all are genuinely blessed for all your hard work, time & talent! :) :) :) Thank you

Excellent video and thank you for sharing Those ugly rocks,looks beautiful in eyes now :)

Im a caver and Explorer, thanks for the info.😁👌🇺🇸

Great video

Thanks for this good info. And education. Ron

Thank you, can’t wait to see what I have, I’m probably struggling for nothing 😂

I passed up a lot of gold as a kid lol. One time I gave a piece to my middle school math teacher and she said was blown away. I said "what, it's just a stupid rock!" And she said. "That's good ore, you're rich!"

I love your video. Thank you so much❤❤❤

very well done , thank you.

Very helpful to me. Educate More on how to identify stones containing gold.

Thank you so much 😊

This is an amazing video thank you guys!

This has helped me so much ..

one of the best explanations i've seen. thanks!

saw this a long time ago - finally can comment to say thanks

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! I loved it.

nice and quick explanation ! thx for sharring

great vid! thankyou

Very good information.thank you

Gostei muito dó seu canal é sou garimpeiro 👍

nice job guys

Super Awesome Video!! Thanks!! Subscribed!! Scared the crap outta me at 5:39 and 6:02 🤣🤣🤣

Super helpful.. thanks for the rundown on the ugly rocks..lol..

Thank you

I have so many that look like those especially the pyrite and quartz

This is an excellent video. I have found tons of ugly rock including iron stained and mineralized quartz along with what appears to be small spots of common opal. This spot is not far from a spot which people have found small amounts of gold and there is also an opal mine within a couple of miles. Your video has been more helpful then all the others that I have found. Thank you for making it. There is also some very iron stained shale under the quartz: does that mean anything?

I found a little piece of quartz with some golden stuff in a mine in Mexico, It looks almost identical to the one at 3:44 just smaller, nice,

Oh oh. Just made me realize the gold I've thrown away during my younger expeditionary-adventure years because some old timer had told us, "Awe, that's nothin' but pyrite in that rock buddy!" when some of it sure did look like gold.

very interesting, I wonder if large amounts of gold containing ore is discarded in tailings .

I got into panning about a year ago, gotten samples from all over from cave creek to Casa Grande.. Haven't found a spec of gold...Until yesterday when i smashed an ugly rock from the old mine i went to and boom, a few specs of micro-fine! (Ya i know, pathetic, but it gave me hope!)

Great video very nice

Great video! Thanks!

Thanks .

Arkansas is rich in both quartz and pyrites...but no gold...but we do have an the only alluvial diamond deposit in America

Why do none of you show it under 10X up to 200x

Thank you that was awesome Cheers

Thanks

I really like your video good one then

Great information, thank you for the video

Very informative. No one else that i have watched while attempting to educate the viewers has been as concise or descriptive as you. I feel more confident to go out and prospect for gold here in the great state of New York where prospecting is allowed but keeping the gold is Not. Something to do w " The Kings Law " Such BS. Sorry ! So thank you for the education.

Awesome video . Thanks for the great info . Just started desert minning / rock hounding . got a few like you showed . tganks

Awesome. And so true re the pyrite along side gold!!

great video

Great video.....Thank you....

Great video, thank you for posting it! Interesting about the uglies, I knew there was good reason not to toss them! :-0

Wow bro thank you

I love this guys info, can you give me a tour of your mine? 🙏🙏🙏

Iove u love u lov u

Long live the feud between hard rock and placer miners. 😁

Cool vid folks well done.

I have been throwing that away no wonder I can't find it

Excellent video of uglies/beauties. I think I would have given most of those rocks a kick, even if my metal detector told me something different. Thanks for sharing.

Here in Washington they brought me some large black shale rock for my driveway, I picked up a fist size shale/quarts. I turned it over to look at the white quarts and there were 12 -1/4 inch gold flat sided points pointing up. I figured because they were in the shape of a pyramid that it was fools-gold. Someone relieved me of it so I know longer have it but just was wondering if my analysis sounds right.

Cheeeeeeers!

Some NorCal lodes are white but have large gold hunks in the quartz. See Alleghany District for example.

Nice
