Can you figure out what locations the Gold came from based on it's texture and appearance. If so then leave a comment and if you want to go Gold mining with us then click the link.

Quartz inclusions would indicate it is the good ore you pointed to half way through the video assuming it was found in situ and not in the gravel washed from it's quartz matrices. Close? UGH. Jeff. You're making me like rocks wtf. :( STOP THIS AT ONCE!
Gold came from the miss and the rocks you prayed out because I can see the blood vessels where the arteries were blown out from.
It's ok laugh. It's true
I know the area well, been going there since I was a toddler. I take my family there now since they were toddlers, rock hoppin’ in an umbrella stroller! My guess is you found the gold somewhere between the left and right banks of the creek? Am I close? Lol. My son read ‘By the great horned spoon’ and wanted to go panning. Went out for a trip. Found what I think to be dust or possibly mica. Still have it in a glass jar. I am trying to learn from you so we can find some decent pieces. Love your enthusiasm! I used to be like that but somehow I lost it, or feel funny showing it.
Anyway, thats for the awesome videos!
The smoother stuff was from the river while the coarser stuff was either mined from the hard rock along the banks or perhaps up in the tributary, closer to its source. Am I on the right track?
@@gherbie3412 spot on and yah it's true.
Anyone trying to say anything bad about Jeff seriously need to get a life. What he's been doing is educating and having fun doing it. And taking the time out of his day to pass on his knowledge and wisdom and that took him years of trial and error. He didn't start when there was TH-cam. Thanks Jeff I really love and appreciate your videos. And if someone is trying to be negative it's petty and they really need to just get a life. Thanks again Jeff!!!!
Thank you Nathan , we do our very best to give people all the knowledge they need to get out there and find their own Shiney ..... Thanks again Nathan , we really appreciate that
There will always be haters on TH-cam, but for me, the information Jeff puts out is helpful and priceless, as far as the haters, I have butt hurt cream for them!!😂😂
At 17:56 Jeff is standing above Heart Rock just outside the Valley of Enchantment just off Hwy 138 in the San Bernardino Mountains. We used to hike there when I was a kid - 50 years ago. As a youth I was told there is gold in those streams but I was too young to give it a try. Whenever you are in the Valley of Enchantment make sure to stop by Johnny's Market and get a soda and some chips for your drive home. My favorite hang out many years ago.
I grew up in Hesperia, it's bout an hour drive away from these spots yo I gotta go!!!
Yup You are correct.
Finding gold is awesome. Teaching us to know what to look for is priceless. Thanks Professor
My guess is you got most of the gold in the first pic from the bedrock you broke and some from the roots and moss. Even some from under the waterfall. And the two chunkers must of come from the wall with the quartz stringers. Great video! Thanks for the quiz!👍
There's Gold in there them hills..!!! I used to mine in Northern CA. There are so many creeks and rivers that are solid producers of shine
Jeff the fun part is watching and learning the ropes from your video's like this thanks Jeff and Crew!!!; )
I agree, what a great educator, feel like I know more after listening to him describe it.
Good idea for accurate sampling is to use a phone that GPS marks it's photos. Whack a number next to the sample (get a number set from a $1 shop) and take the photo, write the number on your bag or bucket, and you'll always know where that sample came from. A portable blender or pocket coffee grinder is best for moss sampling. You can even grind rocks to a degree as long as you don't mind replacing the unit, or it's blades, regularly.
great idea
The Gold flakes and pickers have sharp edges so it came from the tributary.
Thank you for preserving history, Jeff. I love the enthusiasm in your videos. You have taught me a lot and while I don't pan for gold; it helps me find what I'm after for. Keep up the good work!
Jeff, I want to thank you for sharing not only your knowledge, but your wisdom. After growing up in the Placerville area, I'm pretty knowledgeable on where to find the nice chunky placer deposits, but the dry desert stuff, has me completely out of my element. I want to thank you for sharing this wealth of knowledge on geology. There is always more gold in the ground, than there was in the water. But finding it for us hobbyists, has always been the hard part. I currently live in Stuttgart Germany, but I'm coming back home in the next couple of months to the Reno area. Being retired military, I will desperately need something to do. So I'm soaking up all the wisdom you can impart on the Geology of the desert of Nevada.
Over here, I metal detect for relics and WW2 coinage... yes you know the kind. The kind from a previous reich that left stuff all over the place, and killed 20+ million people. 2 years ago me and a couple other detectorists found 2 US 500 pounders that didnt go off near what was then an old German army base, but is now a USA army post. LOL they had to evacuate half the facility while EOD blew them in place. When we ran our detectors over the site, we thought we found Uncle Adolf's lost gold train in an underground tunnel or something. Blew our ears out.
Anyway, again Jeff, thanks for the education and I'm headed for the Patreon site right now. I would love to see more in-depth geology education videos on area specific regions. Or perhaps even a full blown geology course taught by the master himself. This would make a great pay site for those that would like to take it to the next level. Thanks one last time Jeff. Bob in Germany
He is a god sent! Learned so much from him
Cool story !!
Jeff, you are good at what you do. You are entertaining and a great teacher.
Second sample from 08:37 in the quartz stringer. ;)
My bets on you, good luck .....
Chicken in the bread pan picking out dough. Thanks for the info.
Amen to sampling! Spend 90% of my life sampling lol Perfectly explained video Jeff! 👌

This video is amazing. I've been to this location many, many times . I grew up less than 20 minutes from here
. I enjoy when you are in California. Your geology experience on my Homeland is priceless. Thanks for a great video and all the info. Heavy pans Jeff!!
So do I except he can't carry his equalizer, or he forgot it.
absolutely loved the video senor Williams! thanks for teaching me the name of those dark heavy rocks!
Jeff, thanks for the quality videos. There was one pan that had an abundant of black sand in it. I think that was the gold producer.
Jeff, I don't believe there's anyone more capable of dispersing the motherlode of pertinent information on this subject as well as you. I truly feel smarter after watching your videos. Thank you. And for a guess I'd say the roots and moss as well as tributary creek as the gold sources.
Checked the cracks, kneaded some moss dough, raked the top rocks off....stratified, got some hecking shiny!
Your knowledge is above my pay grade man. lol
That's heart rock we went up there for summer camp in the 6th grade , you can't get me lost in the western us, I know where everything's at, I don't ask nobody so I don't expect I need to tell you , get up off the couch and go find it yourself
I. Like the format this is a great way to teach nice job Jeff great to watch and learn from
Jeff!!! You are my hero!!! I have gone out got some gold bearing gravels and learned the hard way about the enemy MICA!!!
Best video on explanation of prospecting
Hello Lila & Jeff. Always nice to look back in time. 😅
thanks
Thank you very much We thank you
our professor
with
our love and respect
FRom egypt
I think that gold came outta the bedrock location under them rocks you cleaned out under them rocks cracks you moved away n cleaned out the materials trapped in them cracks !
Always so fascinating watching you at it and now you are finding California gold, Awesome! some of us cannot do the physical labor involved in prospecting but sure as all heck wish we could. Thank you so much for making these videos!
''Everyone came here and their Uncle'' hahahaha... Your the God of Gold bro
At 6:30 the easiest way I've found to tell the difference from Mica and Au, is Au won't change color in the shade.
thank you, sir, for the content you put out. it really helps us out here in the field when searching that shiny
The only thing that sticks in my pan is my burnt dinner.😂
Seen a videoo where these prospectors used a drone with ground detecting device attached to under carriage finding gold ! You should get one when out prospecting large areas for gold deposits you could cover a big area .
All your vids are awesome but this one is very informative for practical prospecting. You are the best Bro!
At Bernini county. In the dry side creeks at one time drain into the main creek. Looking under large rocks, move if possible dig under that rock for trap gold.
Every time I see one of your videos I end up talking just like you for a few days. Cracks my girlfriend up !!!
Thanks for the post! Can't wait to watch this with my kids!
you betcha and hope they like it
Angular not rounded, flakes, small to large. Trapped but not moved around, like in cracks below waterfall, down low under where the black rocks are.
These videos are very interesting, but when you show me a stream, I'm wondering how many trout I can catch down there!
Hi Jeff, new patron here. I've got a suggestion to offer, after watching about 20 of your videos so far.
I'm a disabled guy, and about as green as they come, but being disabled makes me figure out the laziest, most painless ways to accomplish a goal with minimum wasted energy.
Here's my suggestion...
When sampling, you mention numbering buckets and x-ing map locations and such, well, nearly all cell phones today geo tag the photos you take. Do your samples and exploration, number your buckets, but, take a picture of the numbered bucket in front of where you've dug and it will not only geo tag the picture, you'll be able to open the tagged picture in google earth and then get directions back to that spot. You could even attach a voice note to the pics for later transcriptions.
My apologies if this has already been suggested and just wasted everyone's time with a newb comment.
😎🤓
Didn't waste my time man that's a good idea I'm going to try that sometime
That is an excellent idea man!!
I tried this. My problem is my location is blank. I have a samsung phone. Any ideas?
@@dennisandreas7641 if you are getting gold you dont wanna do that. Because then anybody can track you right to your spot. I never take a cell phone it my patches! I seen guys come back to there hidden patches and they've been high graded and raped because somebody tracked his fone! 9
Never do it, these days if somebody finds out you been getting good gold all they gotta do is track your fone! I know a guy who ad a spot way back in the woods. He got ba k in there and sombody high graded and raped it! They traced his fone! And found it!
Very informative! Now I need to go back and rewatch a few times so all the info will sink in...
Jeff musta found some gold there at the end - He shut the camera off and said to Slim "CMON LETS GO!!"
That heart shaped rocks 🪨 was amazing 👏 😍
Here I sit at 540 am. Jeff I have done a lot of stuff in my life and smirk at others. I can honestly say I am jealous of you. Geology you are the man. That’s a passion. Nobody can take that away. I’ve found a little here and there. Fault lines. Red sand meets white. I admire your passion. Want to instill in my son. God bless you.
Thanks Gloria.....
Pop smoke really changed after cj talked to him lmao. Great video Jeff your videos inspire me to” LETS GOOO” get some gold of my own
Gosh Jeff I can watch your videos all day long ,should be out prospecting but we’re buried in snow so I’ll benge watch your vids 🥰
thanks Julie
Really Great training. Thanks Jeff!
Made it to San Bernadino last year and my credit cards got hacked same day. Left next morning zero dark thirty and rode home on cash.
Planned to go this year (cards wrapped in foil ) but bunkering down. Its pretty great to hang out with you panning and getting some prospector smarts.
Good stuff! thanks
It came from the local area, I'd say the orange juice colored bank with the roots. The gold is very angular so no time has been spent in the creek getting pounded and rounded.
Really great video Jeff! Did the gold come from the wall rock of the creek by the schist, iron staining, and quartz stringers? Did it also come from the cracks in the granite bedrock?
First sample came from the cracks in the bedrock , the secound from where you show us that red metalization the quartz line
As salaamu alaikum wa rahamatuillahi wa barakatuh brither I'm from Washington state jumah Mubarak and I'm happy to have another from the umah here interested in gold prospecting salaam
those flakes came from the cracks and the chunky bits with host rock came from the tributary the small pieces came from the roots and miners moss
Jeff, you ever going to explore that mystery cave? I’m extremely curious to see what’s in there. I bet it’s a massive cave system, which may have some good finds.
Jeff Williams you Dan Hurd pioneer Pauly and Klesh are getting me through the process of dealing with the death of my dad olddeweyhawk
really glad to hear that we are helping you through this time
Yep I sure do
The best place to find gold is where it has already been found. I learned that from Slim. Holcomb is just north of Big Bear. Hmmm.... Caribou Creek or Dusen Creek?
I kinda know where that is. About an hour from where I live. But like you said it was snowed out about 8'ft deep 🙄. Definitly need to get up there during the dry season
And Yeh you just got some splinters in your hands from that window frame! (and YEH you're gonna get WET!)
thank you Jeff,probably one of ypur best vids,thats exactly wat i do here,no mountains,this is a flat country,higher elevation 406 mts,so i do my search on coastal creeks,especially after storms,that sample seems to be from the side of the creek,the quartz vein under the schist,i find those here too,LOTS of mica in,but no gold,seing you,my fever runs out,from Uruguay,gracias,Vamos poe El
My wife's great uncle was from a Gold area. In his memoirs he talks about finding nuggets lying in the creek after rains.
OH MY GOD! I Can't believe I missed this!!! Your behind the dam!
It came out of the whole you showed at the end
Best video for my property. Thanks Jeff!
Glad you liked it!
Great Show Jeff.
Again... You aren't sitting on the couch... great show.
Sample #1- dry tributary...sample #2- looks like something I would expect to see if I was chipping away at a Quartz stringer. I'm probably wrong but I thought I noticed fresh breaks on the Quartz.
yes, thanks
quartz connected= 1st area with reddish-brown oxidizing/decaying beside the quartz
I rekend the gold came from under the rocks at the river where you recommended sucking it out. Thats a big gold magnet
Good ol heart rock trail. Hope you enjoyed the mtn Jeff.
Sampling is key so don't forget your classifier at home it will be alot easier for the beginners when your panning.
The first vein of quarts on the last bit you can see the host rock looks like the same rust material and the quarts and the first bit you showed was from a little bit of everywhere
I've got lots of those stringers around xenoliths surrounded by low grade quartz.
Love Holcomb Valley ! Haven't been there in years. Thanks for the geo lesson. Really enjoyed it ! And you got wet !! You found gold in the contact zone.
Got those MAD perps. The gold couldn't escape bedrock so I did a hecking crow bar scrape! Got .32
Thanks Uncle Jeff, I sure like that geology. That angular gold can from the quartz seam. Seems you had extra coffee !
Another great video. I'm glad you are a lot more calm in this one. I send a lot of people to your videos. The biggest complaint I get back is they feel you are being sarcastic and condescending and they feel belittled. I have been watching you ever since the perpetual motion machine video. I tell them you just talk like that with all the "son" and "come on, you should know this" comments, etc and you don't intend to come across in a negative way. Maybe I can get them to watch this one. PTSD is a terrible thing so they are a little jumpy too. Thank you SO much for posting this video. Even though I'm a retired Geologist (and a Veteran), you can never learn too much.
I think it came from the area where you were chipping away at the edge of the cliff where you found the quart vane.
Very helpful Thank You!!!!!!
first one came out of crevicing, the second one from your sampling
Been there once... Beautiful place...
Another informative video thx Jeff, 👍
That into was amazing!
I'm thinking the first bit is from crevacing, when you broke apart bedrock. The second bit was so rough! I bet that's from sampling the vein above the waterline.
We love you Jeff😁
There's a perfect heart when he gets to the pot hole section. Amazing how nature works
This is a well know hiking trail up in crestline, CA. Can’t remember the name but think it’s named Heart pool or something like that. Funny it’s the trail I thought of before you showed the heart.
Small mineralized quarst stringer & hard packed clay pocket on the bed rock
Sample one is from the moss and roots.sample two is that quartz stringer you dug out from above the biotite .
Heart rock, well known hike In the big bear area, San bernadino mountains! Love the energy and attention to detail! Thanks Jeff
I just got back from the Black hills panning in the Custer area. Didn't find a thing in the creeks but had so much fun searching. This info makes me excited to go back. Thanks Jeff!
Some nice small specimens, hope you managed to grab a bit more of that quartz to crush back home
Thanks, Jeff, (raising your algorithm).
Oh Yeah !!!!!
Awesome information great video
There’s gold in Arroyo Seco Trail, Mt. Trail, Bailey Canyon, Chantry Flats Big Santa Anita Canyon, Azusa Canyon, Glendora Mt. Road, and Mt Baldy. SGM SoCal
thanks for the info
The first picture is from the bedrock the second is from the feeder creek wash
Lot's of great information
Don't tell anybody. Cuz, if you do, your friends will take it from you. Lose lips do sink ships. I learned the hard way.
The band of quartz that was in the side of the dirt... And the dirt under the piece of broken off bedrock
San Bernardino County is the question you were going to ask that's a good place to look for gold
First Pan from under the large tree trunk. Second Pan from the Heart Shaped Hole. With no peeking.
