      I suspect since he is in the pacific northwest the bags are wet and frozen so we have to wait for a thaw.

      His big jaw crusher doesn't know the rocks are frozen...but if it was me I'd wait for warmer weather too!!

    As a prospector I enjoy seeing different mines and the geology’s it makes it that much easier when out in the field when I recognize something I’ve seen in your vids. Definitely looking forward to the 2nd part I think with your equipment mine operator will be surprised at how rich that section actually is thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼

    Jason is always down to get his hands dirty and do the same hard work as anyone else.
    I can't wait to see the test, outcome. Hopes are high but as always with mining it could be hardly anything.

    The xray spec unit blew my mind. I took a semester in college using a machine that did that, that was about the size of four 4 drawer file cabinets together and produced a chart that we needed to interpret the points on. Amazing!

    I can't wait to see the cool XRF "gun" on that beautiful ore! How many hours were you and Harry working? I just wish that there was more room to get to the whole vein. With both of you at once, you could have grabbed a truckload for the mill. Time and patience rule this stope, unfortunately. But very valuable ore nonetheless. In the Meantime Jason, I'm sending you blessings from Alabama ❤️

    Great video as usual very informative, this is probably my favorite video so far.
    One question when the mine operator was using that black light on the rock he was seeing a green indicating gold, what type of black light did he use? I know there's two different types, thank you so much I look forward to the next video, I look forward to seeing what's in your samples.

    Hey Jason! Here is a video-topic request for you: show techniques for easily verifying gold
    I live not far from you, and I love watching your progress. Your videos and Sierro Gordo videos have really given me an appreciation for how valuable gold and silver is. I've been buying gold bars and coins as a result.
    The thing I'm always left wondering: How can make sure I'm not receiving fake gold?
    I know gold can be measured by weight, and water displacement, and other techniques. I think your viewers would love to watch a video for how to easily verify that the gold they buy is authentic.

    you have a great channel. I bought a property on a gold rich creek that has been worked by hand and then later with a floating bucket dredge. I was wondering if you would do a video showing the types of lode rock you would collect along a creek bank worthy of setting aside to be crushed. I have a good idea of what the mineralized quartz looks like but have looked and cannot find any videos about this. thanks!!

  • @nunyabisnass1141
    @nunyabisnass1141 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Its interesring that its a recurring theme that low grade ore gets discarded out in the weather, the gold gets wearhered out and seoarated, concentrated and after 20 years is worth processing, so im sure ppl have thought of going back to collect these, but os there a process where this would be done deliberately, or is that the purpose of leeching, to accelerate the natural process?
