  • Why Did I Ever Abandon This Gold Mine!?
    Its been 2 years since i walked off this 1800s gold mine and in that two years the creek has fully reloaded with gold! Not just small fine gold, but nuggets and specimens.
    We panned hundreds of dollars of gold out of this creek after tracing the gold to find a good deposit. And there is a lot more there to sluice at a later date!

    An Elvis quartz with a ‘queef’?

    Quiff is the word you’re searching for!

    • @gabivalla6279
      @gabivalla6279 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I love me some good neologistics, new words are sometimes needed.
      I think preemptively ahead of the word not said right might be quoife? A fattish quiff of forelock? How'd I go? Very 90's raver look with baseball cap right way.

    • @weedfreer
      @weedfreer 6 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      @@gabivalla6279 like your cap, worn forwards, at early 90s Raves, it would appear that a quoife (which, interestingly, appears to have an alternative spelling of Coif) is a closely fitting hat.
      Only this hat was worn under a veil in the Middle Ages by many women but now only by nuns.
      I believe the word you may have been reaching for is the alternative spelling for quiff which, reading the definition now, may actually be the original spelling possibly pre Americanisation, or, whereas quiff refers exclusively to the male hair flick, may be the word from which quiff developed so that folk would understand that you were on about the male variant.
      Coif, short for coiffure, used in an American sense typically referred to as woman’s fancy hairdo arranged into complicated braids anchored by bobby pins.
      Something similar to what you’d likely see being paraded around Royal Ascot Racecourse these days.

  • @gabivalla6279
    @gabivalla6279 6 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    Adding you can test the weight of the gold in the beautiful ironstone gold specimen with what The Gold Rush Guy showed on a recent upload, place water in a clear plastic tub and tare off that amount, tie the specimen on a length of cotton string, suspend in the water, and, using a calculation table for specific gravity, you'll be able to get a good approximation for the weight of the gold. Whether other chunks of ironstone may also contain gold I'll guess you've tested for that before and found them unproductive? Cheers to you and Gadzee, and the mateship you encourage among the viewership, whilst battling bots and butts. Cheers again from Gabi of Narre Warren, and avagoodweekend!
