You want to learn more about locating placer Gold and Lode deposits so you can map out and find your own Gold mine than this video will help you out. PLUS along the way we will teach you tips for success when out in the Gold Districts. This time we are out in Oatman AZ and there is still so much Gold there to be had so make sure to smash that like button and let us know your own Gold mining stories by leaving us a comment below.... and Yeah ....you're gonna get wet.
I live in oroville California which was a big gold town they built houses on montomery street before it was mined about 4 feet down or so is a lot of gold it follows the feather river
What a rare video today. It's been so beautiful that even the wild burros are more friendly! And in just a few weeks it look like the moon again. The desert has minerals that's a given. But if you are there at just the right time. You'll find a diamond. Thanks for a beautiful glimpse of desert bloom Jeff and Lila. Every frame has great content in it!
Every video that you post, I learn a little more about where the gold nuggets I chase, are coming from. You’re right down the road from me in this one so it’s even more relative to the area I’m in. Showing the rocks and changes up close and detailed really helps me understand more of what I’m seeing out in the field. I’d trade gold and a can of them beans you like to have a fella like you follow me around for a day and answer questions! You can’t have my big nuggets though!! 🤪
I never seen the desert so lush in the 36 years I've lived in the the Vegas valley. I went fishing this week at Willow beach and was blown away by the amount of wild flowers growing. I'm glad you shared it.
At 6:49 you asked "who can tell me what that is?" Well, Jeff williams teaches that that is a river rock, and since you are probably not close to a river, thats why its an odd ball. Thanks for the lesson, Jeff!
I love the geology lessons, every time the mineral terms are used I'm understanding them and seeing what to look for instinctively. Thanks Jeff 😊. Cheers 🍻
I am still kicking myself for not taking Geology in college! Your videos make me want to go back and take some classes! Lol I am 52 years old and live in Lubbock TX so I am not sure at my age what I would retain? But oh my how I love watching your geology videos over and over!
Kathleen, fill out a FAFSA application and they will help you pay for school. Take Geology, I did at 47! Best class ever. Time will go by anyway, might as well get an education. Do it.
Another great and educational video. I've had my eye on the Kingman area for a while. I'm an old fart, retired with a little class C towing a Jeep. Growing up, my father, a petroleum engineer, which includes a lot of Geology, would prospect while on vacation. In fact, geology was his favorite course and history. We often found enough gold to pay for the vacation; like you, he knew where to look. I'll never forget those vacations. I remember one to Criple Creek that was awesome. You have to remember this was in the early 60s, and these areas were still pristine and untrodden by the masses. We had an old International Travel All, a tank with 4-wheel drive, so we camped way off the beaten trail. We went to several places in Northwest Arizona, but I don't remember where at the moment.
@@BrianJonah88 I've been told I should write a book, but I don't see the audience that was once there. In the oilfields, I was always one of those people who, when asked can you go here and do that said, sure; you learn a lot fast that way, but I went through three wives. Women don't like being left home for months, but that's life. I wonder if it's who I was or if my father instilled a wanderlust in me with the sheer variety of travel on the many vacations growing up. My great-grandfather was part of the great cattle drives from Texas up into Kanas and North Dakota. I share a lot of his genes. I remember one time in Wyoming, North of Casper, near the old Midwest oil strike, on the way to visit an uncle, a great uncle to me. It was a pretty dull stretch, or so I thought, through meandering and rolling hills, scared randomly by decades of erosion when he slammed on the brakes and pulled to the side of the road in front of one of the hundreds of historical markers we had seen along the way. This time, it was different because once my father had pointed it out, you could still see the carved-out path and remnants of ruts made in the land by tens of thousands of wagons in both directions; this was the Boseman Trail. This was in 1961, so I wonder if you can see anything today; nobody cares anymore, and history is lost. Nowadays, everyone's too busy making silly and pointless TikTok videos and complaining they don't have enough. At least this channel teaches you skills, and skill beats ten virtue signals any day. 😎
Jeff, you're living my dream. I am actively working to moving out that way And I want to thank you for all your videos. Your knowledge is indispersible . And your Videos always put a smile on my face. Maybe in the near future I'll be able to say hello . Keep on keep on going. Gold rules brother.
Thank you Jeff and thank you to your wife for taking the time to explain things the way you do in the field. You are providing us all with information that is simple to follow and entertaining to watch. Best wishes from Manchester - England
the gold mining industry taught by jeff william school of prospecting, all people have to do is listen and learn before venturing out in the fields to know right from wrong, its like the old timers are teaching the jeff and jeff is teaching those who want to know bettter and easier ways to find. its win win all arund. thank you jeff , . for those who visit oatman,AZ careful moves or in the open or ou wont remember the last step., and always tell someone where you are before hand ? thank you teacher Jeff.
I luv your geology!! I'm a 50 year old aspiring want to be geologist!! Wish you did more stuff on geology, but what ever I can get!! Thanks it's real good stuff!! Want to thank you and your wife for the hard work you enjoy!! It's obvious !! I enjoy the same!! Godspeed
Love those burros, met a couple when I went to the saline springs; didn’t know the story why they’re out there… Things almost look friendly enough to take a couple home if you needed pack animals. A bit less ferocious than the thick neck horses out in the steens.
For newcomers. Jeff gives 30 to 40 minute hands on mine classes. He covers placer to hard rock to open pit. You will get history and scenic beauty. Yes deserts have beauty. You will learn how to read a mountain or a stream you will use equipment. This is not a television show. It's real life gold prospecting and he will cover dangers hardships and don't quit your day job till you strike it. Yes thats the really neat thing. This is better than the lottery. It is real. And with a lot of effort your pan will have gold in it. Jeff offers these classes. Please take advantage. Hey Jeff. All this water means the washes Have reloaded. Lol😂😂😂
@askJeffWilliams I have been following for a long time and have learned so much from you. Just a BIG shout out to the awesome quality of your videos. TY very much for the top grade info and education.
Thanks Jeff. I usually am in the Tucson area about once a year. I'm going to try and make it up to Oatman next time I'm down there. Appreciate the geology refresher. It's been 35yrs since I did field work in the West Elks in Co. Didn't pursue the geo careers. These vids make me I wish I had.
"Credo Quia Absurdum" is the motto of the E Clampus Vitus. BTW, you can take those lonely fence posts as clues to be careful of the ground. You see them around old wells also. Most of the examples of fenced wells and shafts I've seen had partially dismantled where one or more posts were down. I also want to say that this a great series.
I loved everything in this one. The colors in southeast Arizona are incredible right now even the old mining hills have flowers growing up from every crack and crevice.. I've never seen it this way before. Great video, loved the mules!
Jeff, I have no idea for the most part what your talking about, but I can’t take my eyes away for any of you videos.. I need to find a geology book for dummies. Keep up the good, no great, work, Joe
Hi Jeff this is Air Force veteran Atocha Rickey Edwards recently from Quartzsite Arizona I'm moving to the Oatman Arizona area in April. I'm currently a GPA member and formally quartzite metal detecting club and I'm good friends with Blake and Lisa Harmon of Minors Depot. I have been watching your program for many years now and you're a one of my main teacher thank you so much for your hard work and instruction and training to all of us here in Arizona and many other states watching I learned more from you than anybody else thank you for being a great 👍😃. I'm very excited about doing some pants sampling at Oatman since I moving there next month I can't wait to use my minelab 140 pro metal detector and my whites beachhunter. Thank you and may God bless you I look forward to meeting you up at Oatman. Sincerely Atocha Rick E.
What a nice surprise Burros and a youngster too. They must be use to getting fed too. I had a couple of Burros several years ago one a female and the other a female baby that was born blind due to a genic issue with mom. But, I found if you attach a cow bell to the mom the baby could easily find her, and she did very well. Beautiful area with all those yellow flower everywhere. You wouldn't expect to see that in a dessert. This video is quite interesting and entertaining too. That Fort R.E.D.S. was another interesting site. You always have a wealth of knowledge about Geology too. Great video.
What a blast fam. Great job all around. Loads of great info. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream. You're doing great work. Gold Squad Out!!!
Mister Williams and his better half Lilla never disappoints and that ending piano music left me in a state of Joy after the "Burro Encounter of the Third Kind!"
Had a thought today on the red clay in the sump. Was thinking about possibly using a cement mixer with a bunch of water to loosen everything up into a slurry, and then run that through the trommel. Also, if the clay breaks into a cavern with a stream in it, wouldn't it still be considered a placer and not a lode, as the material is in relative motion?
The great descendants of Slim's Mule from back in the day when Slim actually found gold! 🤣 Pretty cool to see all the flowers and other plants in the desert!
Whenever I watch your videos around the Oatman, area I wish I was into prospecting when I lived in the Rivera/Bull Head area LOL Good Show, Jeff and Lila my friends.
Wow what a great video sharing your knowledge of geology ( I didn't understand the terms) but I was facinated with how the earth was formed and what the miners looked for. Thanks for showing. I look forward to seeing more of these.
Jeff I'm not a geologist so educate me on Limonite. I'm a little confused about where it can occur. Can it be found in Basaltic deposition or does it only occur in granitic intrusion layers. I have found a interesting deposit but I don't want to waste my time chasing nothing. Great show, I have learned a ton.
no worries....Limonite is a general term that often contains significant amounts of iron oxide minerals such as goethite and hematite.Limonite usually occurs as a secondary material, formed from the weathering of hematite, magnetite, pyrite, and other iron-bearing materials.
There were some things you mentioned there that I never heard of before. I am studying and preparing for prospecting up in the Michigan UP where I think there is still quite a bit of gold to be found.
BEAUTIFUL! I REALLY ENJOYED YOU AND LILA TAKING THE TIME TO SHOW THAT BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.i REALLY LIKE THAT 1 PAN YOU DID,I WOULD BE ASTATICE TO FIND THAT MUCH....STAY AWESOME..BTW,WILD BURROS WAS VERY COOL AND YOU GUYS DIDN'T GET BIT OR KICKED..LOL
You made another nice video. There was a basalt vein between two quartz veins in the well. Does this vein have any significance for gold? Or is it just for manganese oxide?
That drone shot going up the hill was a trip. I had completely misjudged the size and scale of that until the drone got to the top and saw the sheep. That’s a huge cut
Those were sick explosions at the beginning. You really can see rocks better in the desert vs. Georgia - except when flowers bloom. I bet you that's the animal that goes to the old shoe I found at the mine. Perfect size. That was a great example of brecciated.quartz. Now that I know, I'll keep my eye out. Reds are my favorite colors. I use my phone to zoom instead of a loupe it's pretty good. It's cool to see the clear dividing line between the bull quartz and mineralized zones. That open hole looked deadly. I better be careful here because everything is overgrown. You already know I smashed that like button. Bighorn sheep have Two Toes. You have all kinds of rocks there we don't. Mostly mica schist, slate, granite and quartz. I love finding old foundations like that!
.Really love the interaction with the donkeys. They are such sweet animals and deserve some kindness and snacks IMHO. Lots of potential on those veins. One rich section is all it takes.
Once again your videos are the best your knowledge and your enthusiasm is truly amazing thanks again I always look forward to watching more of your presentations

I think it might turn into another super-bloom this year. I remember the same happening some years back filming a Wild Nevada episode in the Ely area.
Thank You for all the specific information, this video is very educational .
That mineshaft shot made me queasy like an IMAX movie.

thanks Wheelie man
Had a thought today on the red clay in the sump. Was thinking about possibly using a cement mixer with a bunch of water to loosen everything up into a slurry, and then run that through the trommel. Also, if the clay breaks into a cavern with a stream in it, wouldn't it still be considered a placer and not a lode, as the material is in relative motion?
we would add round steal balls to help break up the clay too ... yes
Its crazy when the veins are that obvious i love it.
One of my favorites this year.
The great descendants of Slim's Mule from back in the day when Slim actually found gold! 🤣 Pretty cool to see all the flowers and other plants in the desert!

There were some things you mentioned there that I never heard of before. I am studying and preparing for prospecting up in the Michigan UP where I think there is still quite a bit of gold to be found.

You have all kinds of rocks there we don't. Mostly mica schist, slate, granite and quartz. I love finding old foundations like that!
thanks RGP
Lotsa goodness here! Thank's Jeff
Another very cool informative episode! Thanks Jeff!
Glad you enjoyed it!
.Really love the interaction with the donkeys. They are such sweet animals and deserve some kindness and snacks IMHO. Lots of potential on those veins. One rich section is all it takes.
thanks
