And no... I think there is nothing wrong with you teaching us all about everything that you know. I actually love knowing all the extras you put into your videos. So Thank You for being a great teacher.
I know that area, lot's of old mines and cool springs, I learned alot thanks, maybe one of these days I might run into you if you go back out there,thanks again.
I have not met Jeff face to face, yet thru his many videos, all his accumulated geologic knowledge, his heartfelt desire to keep gold mining alive are just a few traits this guy possess. I will meet him one day but until then we all are fortunate to have one of the best video production guys in that respect. How does he do it all? Your truly amazing Mr. Williams, Mark Boulder City, NV
You are the best teacher, I don't think there's anybody on TH-cam that does it better than you. The way you get excited it is second to none. It's so cool how you are giving away the secrets that only an experienced geologist would know. The best class ever. Thank you
I love watching your videos brother, I m a 44 year-old US Navy veteran and I just got my bachelor's degree in environmental science from San Diego State. In the future I want to try to do my masters in geology. I watch all your videos and one day I hope to get out in this field. I found a huge quartz vein and I hope to explore it.
Strolling through desert rocks and scrub brush Jeff says, "I can walk out here for weeks, I love it." Yes Jeff as a former Desert Rat (and trying to get enough money to move back) I can relate. The beauty of the Arizona desert is something too few can see but I will take the area you were in, others can have the gray, cold water and biting wind of the Pacific beaches.
I dig the way you stratify the concentrates of information and convey it to those of us who have only played in the dirt or grew things from it! So you know what I am going to say, GOOD JOB! Great teacher and so much knowledge you fill my brain Jeff!
Hello from Tennessee! Got introduced to you about 5 years ago. Haven't seen how you've improved in your presentation. Good going! You've inspired me to get back in the world of minerals!
Through the information you provide in your narration, I get the impression you possess vast amounts of technical geological knowledge, which allows you to impart the practical stuff to us laymen. Thanks to you Mr. Jeff Williams... and Slim.
The magic numbers are 29:54....the length of this video. Also 1,3,7,21. I will watch this vid over and over as I have watched Jeff's other Geology-based vids. I have the benefit of loving this stuff and feeling it's the key. I would love to be the cameraman on these excursions. What a blast that would be. There is so much to take in!!! Seriously bud, thanks a million for so many years of education in each video!!!! Truly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is a great vid Jeff! As soon as you mentioned what the numbers were, the light bulb lit up bright. I really like how clearly you teach things! Huge thank you!
Yeah he has the potential to be the top teacher in his field! He breaks everything down and explains the nuances very clearly, and gives it to you in a way that just about anyone can comprehend and digest. I'd bet he has some of the best information retention of the the stuff he teaches. Even the video structure is very organized and edited in a way that compliments his teaching style. I was watching other TH-cam prospectors for a while before I came across his videos, and as entertaining as they might be they can't hold Jeff's jock strap when it comes to pure knowledge of the subject! I was pretty blown away.
Just stumbled across your channel after a sudden spark in interest for learning about prospecting this past week. The video Is super easy to understand yet straight to the point. It's the most info packed video I've seen having to do with what minerals/rocks to look out for. Thanks for the info!
Thank you Sir. I’m a retired Health Educator….. I loved my chosen career…. HOWEVER Gold Fever struck when I discovered reading about pirates. I love watching your educational videos… even take notes. Thank you again Sir. Dan
I for one love all the information you share. Utilize all the time it takes to properly educate us. At least enough to brush the surface. Thanks for sharing with us and continuing the adventure!
Your geology videos are my favorite I keep all of them. When I'm out prospecting and I come across something I usually go back and watch them again and again. Now what did Jeff say about this
Thank you Jeff for putting out all these videos. I learn every time from your videos, but this is one of my favorites as I learnt terms and locations all in a row. Your very knowledgeable and thank you for being informant. We all have those dreams of Thinking you can just go out and find gold. A person can go find gold but it takes work and knowledge to know what you’re looking for. 🇨🇦
Jeff this is one of my favorite part of your shows, love the way you explain the Geology the best from all the others I've visited you make your show easy to understand love your attitude to the way you present your show outstanding.
i'm guessing that pipe out the ground is a ventilation pipe, highly educational geology lesson, loved this i'm just getting into prospecting, best wishes from scotland, i have 3 volcanic plugs in my area, i'm building my sluice just now.
Jeff! you're the best in walking us in the right direction-explanations superb and right on spot.Love listening and watching all your videos,you are by far the best in your field .David out
Thanks Jeff for all you do! Your early videos are what really got me interested in AU and geology in general. Love the videos and it helps me know what to look for when exploring the AZ deserts. Take care!
I just input 21 miles as a radius of a circle centered on Mount Baker, and the line falls directly over virtually all the mineral claims in the area of Canada that it reaches into. 🤩 Great tip, thanks Jeff!!!!💰💰💰
The steps are just off the old road to Oatman. I was surprised by the goldfish as well. Pretty Cool! Definitely worth the stop, plus the view from up there is great as well.
I believe the old pipe was a well casing here in New Mexico in the Creillos hills have 1800s iron well casings in almost every valley the state did a dye test to see if the aquifers were connected and amazingly they were all separate even if they were 300 ft apart
Thank you for a very well rounded video Jeff. I’ve been a subscriber for about 3 years. I always wanted to do something like looking for gold or gold panning but truth is I’m not an outdoor kind of person. Don’t like mosquitoes or spiders or snakes or any kind of bugs. Lol But I enjoy learning things about what you do and interesting things you talk about. Thks for this wonderful video Jeff. Let’s Go.
I like rewatching your videos, there’s so much to see and learn, I pick up something I missed the first time. I have started at the beginning working my way forward. I really enjoy all your videos. Learning and having Fun at the same time is Fantastic. Thank you for your hard Work and sharing your Knowledge.
I've only watched a few prospecting videos but yours was the most informative.....my question is how do I learn about rocks, geology, so I know what I'm looking at, what do you suggest to get started, for the total novice? Thank you.
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the awesome amount (tons) of informative geologic content. Really enjoyed watching you tromp around talking geology and sampling. Say hi to Lila and the crew. We’’re counting the weeks till our get together, can wait to see you guys. Take care and stay cool my busy friend.
hey you guys ....nice to see you here in the comment section.......we thought we would give a class or two ....will tell them you said hi and we are too......will do and you two ....too
Such a smart man. I wish I could remember all those rocks and what they look like. You must have started young Jeff if I was to employ a geologist out here in Oz you would be the one. So clever and intelligent and crazy funny and sick at times haha
@@Askjeffwilliams binge watching your videos now. I am not a active prospector. I am a fossil and mineralized animals hunter. But have always been a rockhound nut case. I can spot a 2 inch mud covered fossil from 20 feet. It's like a metal detector going over a 1 pound gold nugget to you. You just know what it is.. It is amazing how much of what I find Is in landscaping 3 inch minus rock. And how much Is shoe billed stork looking birds that died while still in the egg. Fully developed but had not hatched yet. I find them in river Bank sluffs and In and around volcanic rock flows. So we both look in the same places. Next time you find a multi colored rock with white veins criss crossing threw it . Look closer then step back and look again. Roll it and do it again. Look for a sun burst pattern. That will be its eye. Look on the other side for the other eye. Then the crease going around for the mouth .that's a reptile. For a bird look for head eyes and wide bill. Below that at bottom will be the knee in the legs coming up crossing and the feet will be on or to the sides of the face. the neck , back and wing feathers look like scales sometimes with the v pattern. That's the feather tips. It is in a featel position as it would be in the egg. They come in all sizes from 2 inch to 1 foot long and bigger. All have that same shape. Once you find one you will see them everywhere. And you will have another addicting opssetion to live with. I have many friends who's wives will not talk to me or allow me to come over anymore because of this. Your videos are entertaining, informative and addicting to watch. I can't get enough. You have opened my eyes and now I will see things like you do. And I now have another addicting obsession to live with. Thanks. Your loyal subscriber.
I know what that pipe sticking out of the ground is for - I've used them a couple of times ! - once for tripping over and once for flattening my tire - these pipes come in handy that way !
Your videos are the most informative, and throughly explained videos I've ever watched in regards to gold. Thank you. If your ever in North phx and need some buckets for your hunts I sell them , but yours are on the house.
Thanks for taking the time to explain and share your knowledge of gold chasing to the knowledge challenged folks (such as myself) re gold, minerals, types of rock, etc. You're like a living textbook and I appreciate it 👍
That looks like the stairway to heaven 🤣😂. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Although I’m not out there in the good area for the shiny but it’s still fun learning from your videos. I used to work with a geologist but he never went into the depth about this stuff like you do
Your ability to read the rocks is astounding. If my doctor ever said I was deficient in minerals, I would hike with you. My dentist might not be happy though with my teeth all worn down from crunching those rocks. :) LOL
I have always wanted to learn what I was looking at when I was out in the desert "looking" for gold. This is very informative and now, I can go back to some of my old places with this new information to me in my back pocket! All of the expensive prospecting tools in the world can't help you find the gold if you aren't looking in the right places. Thanks!!!
Great video....as always Jeff. this video, at 18:12 mark ? your walking explaining things, but isn't that what your walking on...old wash out ? wouldn't you be interested in sampling that area then ?
The pipe is to inflate the Earth. Don't mess with it or we might go shoot'n off through space like a balloon, please. Thank you for sharing. Love learning this stuff!
Yeah sneaky lil bugger! I carry a bag of coloured fish every time I go bush, just in case I find a pool of fresh water somewhere! Never thought to make a cheeky prospecting video about though?! Ok I lied
@@Askjeffwilliams because I’ve seen every single one of your guy’s videos . My favorite one is Getting The Lead Out .that’s where I remember it from, I believe. RIP Roy ⚒️
That little fish bowl spring is incredible! I read they put the goldfish and snails at one point in hopes it would keep the water clear of algae. Awesome stuff as always Jeffe
Jeff Do you know why we all love ya????It because you're probably the most free knowledge giving person around Gold I've ever seen... Awesome Content my Brother from another Granny
I gotta say that this is how people act that are actually living their dreams. They know what they want, and can’t hide the excitement that produces so much energy. We should all be so lucky. No matter what field of work or play, this is evident in not only expressing excitement, but also successful outcomes. When you get rewarded, it’s easier to get excited. Am I right? Literally living his dream. Mind body and soul. It’s a beautiful thing.
whats up Jeff , now that was the most educational gold mining video i've ever seen , dude your "BAD ASS " thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge
Why serpentine? Also I'm going to contact you privately because your knowledge of geology is better than most every geologist I've consulted with. I found something that needs a critical and knowledgeable eye, its the most fascinating thing I've ever found or seen. I've searched for over a year for anything like it and so far nada. Thanks for sharing your wealth of experience Jeff!!
That pipe sticking out of the ground, That is part of the ventilation system for the inner earth population. It is a two part system, It allows fresh air to inter in and it vents out the nastiness in their atmosphere. So everyone should not mess with them. It's been shown, Because there once were pipes sticking up all over the place, of course, man being man, kept tripping over them so they started cutting them off at ground level and over time the holes became clogged up and in turn the pressure would build up enough to blow off the top of mountains. Now, we don't need another Mt. St. Helen's, "SO DON'T MESS WITH THE PIPES"!!
thanks jeff , i once when i was young wanted to be a geologist.collected rocks for years . i became a supervisor and programmer for cnc lathes . we have five lathes i program and setup. here in placerville , up at the airport built on a lava dome , there is a blue grey channel under it .about thirty feet down im told by local miners. i have a buddy who has some property up there , im going to look for the contact zone . thanks again. oh yea if your ever up this way and need some machining , look me up.

Love the teaching of the types of rock and layers......If i lived out there I would probably doing the same thing as you are.
I love going over your videos because I seem to forget a lot. Thank you again.
Heck yeah man! Another great video! Love all the information. It's like we're right there with you. Great stuff man
Ahhh snakes...
Remides me of explaining to Shane that rock flipping in Australia is literally life threatening.
Ahhh snakes...
LOL coming from an Aussie...
Love the knowledge, truth be told I like learning more about the lay of the land than the gold itself.
thats great
Jeff Do you know why we all love ya????It because you're probably the most free knowledge giving person around Gold I've ever seen... Awesome Content my Brother from another Granny
thanks my brother
dang Jeff you got more energy than ten-year-olds hopped up on Halloween candy
I gotta say that this is how people act that are actually living their dreams. They know what they want, and can’t hide the excitement that produces so much energy. We should all be so lucky. No matter what field of work or play, this is evident in not only expressing excitement, but also successful outcomes. When you get rewarded, it’s easier to get excited. Am I right? Literally living his dream. Mind body and soul. It’s a beautiful thing.
Must be a buried submarine periscope
god bless; the door gunners, they must of died first when the sea dried up.
The pipe is where the porcelain honey pot sat, so you know there's some nuggets down there 🤣🤣👍👍👍
whats up Jeff , now that was the most educational gold mining video i've ever seen , dude your "BAD ASS " thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge
thanks
Jeff, I watch your program, Frank's and the boys in England as my primary programs for gold hunting.
Hey Jeff, great video, the pipe sticking out of the ground is marking a filled in mine shaft. YEEEHAAAA
Love the geology lessons. This video especially since you're exploring an area to talk about the geology and of course pan for some gold 😁
My most "educated" guess would be for either water or oil tanks.
Thanks Jeff for sharing your knowledge
My pleasure!!
Why serpentine? Also I'm going to contact you privately because your knowledge of geology is better than most every geologist I've consulted with. I found something that needs a critical and knowledgeable eye, its the most fascinating thing I've ever found or seen. I've searched for over a year for anything like it and so far nada. Thanks for sharing your wealth of experience Jeff!!
you betcha
Dang last night I got the green schists at my contact zone.And it wasn't pretty. Andesite of it made me breccia my lunch.
well that doesn't sound Gneiss
yeah, but one is schiest as gneiss as the other!
I like the way you dated the lieching . "Thousands if not millions of years" satisfies both sides of the spectrum . Thanks Jeff you da man.
That pipe sticking out of the ground,
That is part of the ventilation system for the inner earth population.
It is a two part system, It allows fresh air to inter in and it vents out the nastiness in their atmosphere.
So everyone should not mess with them. It's been shown, Because there once were pipes sticking up all over the place, of course, man being man, kept tripping over them so they started cutting them off at ground level and over time the holes became clogged up and in turn the pressure would build up enough to blow off the top of mountains.
Now, we don't need another Mt. St. Helen's, "SO DON'T MESS WITH THE PIPES"!!
thanks jeff , i once when i was young wanted to be a geologist.collected rocks for years . i became a supervisor and programmer for cnc lathes . we have five lathes i program and setup. here in placerville , up at the airport built on a lava dome , there is a blue grey channel under it .about thirty feet down im told by local miners. i have a buddy who has some property up there , im going to look for the contact zone . thanks again. oh yea if your ever up this way and need some machining , look me up.
It was a great video my friend. You've worked hard. Thank you very much. I really benefit from it.
You are very welcome
Well everybody knows, that there is the stairway to heaven son!!!
Modern times now we all take escalators probably why pipe is so rusty
The pipe sticking out of the ground is for my WEEN
God bless you man, thank you so much, you're a legit teacher, "those who know, do. Those who understand, teach.".
I appreciate that!
@@Askjeffwilliams absolutely anytime brother, you're really the one who deserves the appreciation, these videos you make are amazing and I'll be watching them all night 🤣, have a wonderful time eh and best of luck with future discoveries.
