We can't believe how much Gold we are finding at the bottom of this old Chinese mine shaft ..... we are running everything and even finding Fine Gold too. Our Premium Patrons will have more Gold then they can handle now......next we will blow out that wall and drop in more sets. It's the Motherlode laddie.
@@Askjeffwilliams well i dunno about nick, im sure hes a hand. But im a hand and a half son, i dig. Its what i do. You ever need a digger, Russ T is your man, dont let my flowers fool ya im a go getter, wife and 6 kids wont miss me for a day or two haha seriously tho, call me.
Oh man! light at the end of the tunnel. Looks you are a mineowner of statue now..wauw! WIsh I could be a patreon... And you must be so confident you even keep your ring on detecting hahaha.

I just want to let u know jeff im now a premium patron and i definitely will help support ur mining videos and keep the prosecutor dreams alive! SO LET'S GO!!!!
A dumb question, why not use a flat chisel bit when you are digging out signals. That spade bit dont really loosen things up to much from what I see,, Just an old MSHA guy
Yeah, a spade bit, looks like he's utilizing a chisel tipped bit. Use the chisel or pointed bit to open/crack the rock (if needed), then switch to the spade tipped bit to dig it out.
thats right sonny Jim........look for the coffee layer and you will get that Shiney ....yes we did ...Slim and the Bone Heads ....thanks and you too my friend
Congratulations! That process really worked well. Man, what a dream to be living! I would definitely like to see the other side & how you guys process everything after pulling out up & out. Dang, I want to mine now...
Awesome. About year and half ago I bought a mine lab 1000 my son and I took my grandkids out metal detecting had a lot of fun we didn’t find anything. But kid’s had found digging stuff up lol. We just started back up again in July I had. TIA stroke took awhile but at metal detecting again. Thank you for your videos they are so awesome I watch them with the grandkids.
13:03 The Old Prospector Dance - I missed It so much. No meaning in finding gold if You do not dance the Old Prospector dance. *Originally from the movie The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
Thats were we got ours. It now makes that machine a work for you! You won't be fighting that long shalt in those tight spaces now. Makes a huge difference. It really cuts down on the cussing. Lol.
Dang Jeff, no wonder we don't see a lot of you. You have done a lot of work on the new/old shaft and you deserve to hit it big, buddy. Pretty darn exciting.
Amazing video Jeff! I have been watching your videos since I was in elementary school, and now im in high school. You never disappoint, keep up the good work bud!
all the overburden gets dumped out onto the mine dumps and we sample pan it as we go to check for any Gold ....the paylayer and about 2 inches above it get run through a wash plant
I just paused the video. So far I haven't seen any gold yet. But u are one of my favorite gold people ever. I hope u strike it so big that people talk about u forever. U definently work hard enough to deserve it
Awesome gold Jeff! Congrats man! Speaking of gold, are you going to be at the Eureka Gold Rush Games in Eureka, NV in June? Looks like a lot of fun. There are competitions and cash prizes. Looks like a blast! Eureka!!!
Your Awesome, I worked underground in uranium mines for 8 years, retired now but my research tells me usually if there is uranium there is gold close by. There are lots of rivers north of my town, I got my prospectors licence so this summer I am going to see what's up north.
Jeff, You MUST get a Bosh spade bit....it will dig waaay faster and easier. Spade bits are like a miniature pointed shovel, it slices nicely through soft rock and I'd pair it along with a curved chisel bit for hard rock. It's more comparable to carving out hard ice cream with a hot ice cream scoop
You need to come up with an electric powered ditch witch head down there. A ditch witch is a trencher basically a chainsaw for dirt. The most expensive ones have a saw blade on them with diamond tips for trenching through bedrock.
Reminds me of my days working a bedrock channel in the river moved a ford truck sized boulder downstream with a cum along and tire/snow chains. High winter water moved it back updteram. Then I cleaned all the river rock out of 15 ' of granite hole and channel sluiced all the aggregate got some decent pieces. Then went over it with my snipe scope and pulled some nice pickers caught in the small cracks in the bedrock. Chased it upstream as the channel got narrower and narrower the gold was showing in my sluice. A really interesting crack where the channel stepped up 2 ' or so, used a pvc pipe squirt gun to wash the gravel out if that 1/2" crack and picked the nuggets with hemostats out of the crack pulled the best shiney I ever found! All the while my red merle aussie shepard mix watching the old trail above me I watched her ears to see if any claim jumpers were trying to watch me! Never saw a rattler when she was with me and she lived to go prospecting with me! Sadly that was years ago and now I live 7 hrs drive to the nearest gold fields in Dalonega Ga. So watching you is de je vu
Jeff your the Professional Geologist, but I do remember dissolving calcium carbonate (Caliche) in lab class with a strong vinegar solution. So my question to you is...... as an easier method to remove Caliche, could you dissolve or weaken the Caliche under your muck out bucket loading location floor and side drift tunnel floor entrance areas by softening the Caliche overnight for removal next day by first using your electric hammer bit rotary drill and drill a pattern of close set holes in the floors in those areas, as you would when setting explosives holes in a wall, drill as deep in the floor as the bit length. Then using cleaning vinegar dissolve the Caliche floor by making a slow vinegar drip system by inverting a gallon plastic vinegar bottle then drilling a few small holes in the bottom of the plastic bottle as a drip system and by drilling one micro small top vent hole in the cleaning vinegar plastic bottle(s) as a drip control and slowly drip overnight vinegar while leaving the vent system on all night to vent out fumes thus dissolving / weakening the Caliche. The next day electric jack hammer to remove the dissolved / weakened / softened Caliche more easily? Just a thought of a more natural, low toxicity, lower cost, and back saving Caliche removal methodology to try.
We can't believe how much Gold we are finding at the bottom of this old Chinese mine shaft ..... we are running everything and even finding Fine Gold too. Our Premium Patrons will have more Gold then they can handle now......next we will blow out that wall and drop in more sets. It's the Motherlode laddie.
Crazy how gold ended up here from asteroids and blown up stars
@Nick Gubler might be letting one lucky person into the Drift mine to dig for a day

I have lots of free time. I'm on an extremely long vacation right now. At least 6 weeks. Could be longer. And..... I can travel to your location. 😃
You're on the gold now! Dig baby, dig!!!
we just moved another 3 tons to get to them pockets
Dang son! You got a half million dollars worth of lumber down that hole!
Yes sir I work construction mostly framing and timbers.. and timbers ain't cheap.
now .......a million and 1 hahahhaa
In Alaska they are diesel burners, down south it looks as though they are timber burners. Mining supplies companies must be making a small fortune.
@@AndrewSmith-cd5zf Correction it is a Large Fortune.
When all that hard work pays off. Keep it up buddy.
That's so Cool. ,nice find More beans , working hard pays off thanks for the adventure TANK

Got to get that Shiney
Great video enjoyed watching you finding gold

I emailed the crew from the curse of oak ass Island and told them to bring you on, if they want to score the treasure. 😁
With the price of lumber these days, the oak island crew has found a literal fortune in wood in every episode since season1
and Slim too ....he is real good under water Lol

Hey jeff, have you shown how the airflow and electric work in this mine?
not yet
“ya greasy B**tard”🤣🤣🤣Love it Jeff⛏🏴
Congratulations! That process really worked well. Man, what a dream to be living! I would definitely like to see the other side & how you guys process everything after pulling out up & out. Dang, I want to mine now...
Pretty soon you're going to need a couple of cousin Jacks from the old country. I'm totally happy for you brother.
Cousin Jacks
Are those big chunks from breaking the rock with the expanding grout?
yes
ROCKIN OUT WITH THE “HARD ROCK MINER” ! Ain’t that right Sonny Jim ... !!!

Hello bro thanks for inviting me God bless you well done keep up😃👍🥰♥️🙏
Thank you too
Jeff. Very nice construction of that shaft.
You're right to get out from under, when Slim is hauling those barrels up; he wants to have it all!
Good stuff Jeff
Man that caliche looks like fun stuff to dig thru. If that was hardrock, forgetaboutit!
So much golden goodness in that pan! Really glad the old miners didn't have detectors or we wouldn't have anything left to find!
I know ...right ...thanks Joanne
I really like that barrel & hoist system Sonny Jim ! Nice gold too !!
thanks ....makes shaft sinking so much easier
THANK YOU JEFF,,YOU ROCK..HAD WOK THEE..LOOKING GOOD..STAYWELL,,THANK YOU

Hey Jeff get the collapsible shaft for the GM it will make your life using it soooooo much better I promise!
yep we got one from Doc's detecting ...just got to put it one
Thats were we got ours. It now makes that machine a work for you! You won't be fighting that long shalt in those tight spaces now. Makes a huge difference. It really cuts down on the cussing. Lol.
Wow amazing Vidio my brother,,!! Thank for sharing this Vidio 👍 good luck ✋ greeting from Indonesian traditional gold finder friend ⛏️⚒️🇮🇩🇮🇩🔔
Thanks 👍
I'm impressed with the dexpan
Every cubic ft hauled up the skip bucket. . Incredible work Jeff ⛏️
Dang Jeff, no wonder we don't see a lot of you. You have done a lot of work on the new/old shaft and you deserve to hit it big, buddy. Pretty darn exciting.
thanks
Awesome guys! Good gold and yeah, can barely tell with all that host all over. Really beautiful m8s.
And the end! F... 🤙
Your tours look awesome. If I lived in the US i would jump at the chance. Keep finding the gold jeff, I'll keep watching and dream I'm there.
thanks Lisa will do
That's fantastic! Great job!
Fantastic subject, and outstanding delivery. You really deserve way more subs.
Hey, thanks....thats what we thought too
I happen to come Across your Videos. I would like to say ,YOU ARE VERY FUNNY , AND VERY SMART PERSON. GOD BLESS ALL BE SAFE
Thank you and you too
After watching this I declare you the “nugget master”!
Oh Yeah .... i like that
I like what mr Pocket was holding!!!!
you need a 3 to 4" plate spoon for your impact more material each go. short spoon would do it.
Amazing video Jeff! I have been watching your videos since I was in elementary school, and now im in high school. You never disappoint, keep up the good work bud!
That is awesome! thanks
It is so cool to see the progression of this drift mine. I can't wait until my kid is old enough to understand this.
What do you do with all the rocks and dirt once they hit the surface? Do they get metal detected and the dirt sluice?
all the overburden gets dumped out onto the mine dumps and we sample pan it as we go to check for any Gold ....the paylayer and about 2 inches above it get run through a wash plant
Great Vid.... like it... one of my Favs to watch..
Awesome, thank you!
Looking good Jeff 👍
Thanks
That is a lot of Big Rock's Jeff Nice finds 👏👍👌
Jeff you are killing it son.
You're spreading gold fever boy!
Damn dude id be hearing those gold signals in my dreams
me too ...Plus Slim's voice
Brilliant show guys
thanks
Such a great system set up your awesome dude. That's a pocket. Wow
Thanks!
Was worth the wait in gold to see you get onto that pocket.❤💛💚👊🍺
thanks

thanks Kris...... we have a feeling we are about to find more Gold then thought possible
I seriously wanna spend the day in the drift mine and mucking all that caliche and breaking it😁
Jeff, I needed to learn the miners jig!! Hot damn! Thanks!!! And epic signoff!
Awesome gold Jeff! Congrats man! Speaking of gold, are you going to be at the Eureka Gold Rush Games in Eureka, NV in June? Looks like a lot of fun. There are competitions and cash prizes. Looks like a blast! Eureka!!!
will see if we can make it

thanks
Love your metal music too!!!
Thanks Jeff for the video you're really
Need a dirt spade for that jackhammer lol that will tear that stuff up! That hoist system is bad ass good luck down there!
we got one .....thanks
You need to come up with an electric powered ditch witch head down there. A ditch witch is a trencher basically a chainsaw for dirt. The most expensive ones have a saw blade on them with diamond tips for trenching through bedrock.
working on it
good job there Jeff.
#603 is my number...some more gold rush video...wow 👏
I watched this 10 times just because of the title!
I would love to come work out with you that’s for sure. Great video thanks
The wee one is quite beautiful !
Nice nugget keep digging more gold

On some nice shine there Jeff love it when a plan comes together yeha rip it up👍🍀⛏
What's the name of the skeleton band at the end, The Slims? ------).. Keep Diggin'
Thats Slim and the Bone Heads
do you pan through that material also? I can see where if there were a couple small ones together you may have lost one.
we sample it and then run the red coffee material through a washplant
Couple of nice looking potatoes in that pan at the end with the nuggets Jeff !! Timbo
TIMBO !!!!!!! with butter and sour cream
Love the gold nugget dance.
Pants coming off after that riff at the end. Slim shredding REAL nice like.
so don't say nothing
