#askjeffwilliams #howtoreadariverforgold
We plan on making more videos with this model using all the ideas that you the viewer have suggested so keep those comments coming.
To me you are a Genius! Keep them coming 👌
MAybe learn something from the Dutch? They had scale models of Rivers and Harbours from all around the world in the 60's and tested flow characteristics on scale... So everything... flow rate.. pebles etc etc. even tide and waves. The biggest model was a 1:75 600 meter long model from the Rotterdam port. Maybe you can grind black sand in a ball mill to get it real fine. Ofcourse this model tells a lot already... It shows the principals.
thanks
thanks and great idea.
@@Askjeffwilliams I think probably very basic shapes could be also very helpfull to get insight in deposit behaviour.
It’s probably the best model ever showing where placer deposits are hiding and why. Id play with this for days very good work man!
thats what we love to hear ....we are too
When are you two going to calab?!?
Shane, how do you think slim would react to you! I bet Jeff and slim could get a lot of laughs messing with you!
I was wondering how the gold would react when say the river comes to a dam area. It's a instant low pressure some when it runs into the back up but how will it drop out because the water flows out alot smaller hole higher up.
I love both of you guys video KleshGuitars and Jeff Williams. 💰💰In them thar creeks
I gotta say that this is by far the best way to explain what the gold does. Awesome job jeff❤
Do I smell a collaboration?
You are a gifted educator Jeff. The world is lucky to have you as a teacher. It's amazing that platforms like TH-cam can enable you to teach people around the world. Your work is having an impact on a lot of people.
Thanks Dan really appreciate that
@@Askjeffwilliams you sure are a great teacher. Knowledgeable and fun. Ive learned more about geology from your videos than when i was in school. Fascinating and interesting! Thanks Jeff!!!
I feel like I attended a college level mining course. Jeff this is one of your best.
thanks
Jeff !!! You really out done yourself !! This has to be one of the best educational demonstrations I've seen in a long time ! There is real value in this for all prospectors to take advantage of. Thank you for taking time to build this, especially consideration to important details and structure. Definitely keeping this one in my Favorites ! Love it !!
Thanks Allan, really appreciate that and glad you liked it ..it was all Slim's idea ya know.
Never change Jeff. I wish I had an uncle like you when I was a kid, hell even as an adult. Full of knowledge, very intelligent, entertaining (which means we learn faster) and this model you made. Mind blown. Thank you for uploading your wisdom.
Love the video jeff. Love that artificial river. That was very wise of you. Thank you for passing on the Knowledge👌
YEAH!!!! WE HEARD OUR SHOUT OUT! YAAWHOOO! Thanks Jeff! You got very close on the last name. Closer then most people. I knew who you were shouting about . As always your video was very educational and fun to watch. Love the shrit too. And ya....I already put my order in! Conni and I will have to com on out and hunt for shinnies with ya soon. We can tell you work very hard to get these videos out. We look forward to the next one.
thanks , you betcha
that sounds great and we know you would love it too. Thanks
Awesome Job Jeff. Very good video. Hydrodynamic theory is tough but this was a great eye opener!!!! Congrats!!!!!
Thank you Jeff. This is the best video I’ve seen on how gold and black sands travel down creeks and rivers. Good job!
thanks
And yea I’m gonna look at those spots in the river
learned more about it from this video then watching all the other videos. Thanks for sharing your results Jeff.
yes you may find great peace in realizing what you are actually dealing with biology in geology and may also help to locate the au once you find the location of the bioparts again Roger spurr is primer and contactable like you brother...
Jeff, I've never seen a prospector go to the lengths that you go to. Truly awesome man. Been watching you for years. You are a teacher....or better a professor! I'm going to watch this another 100 times at least. I'm back from Asia and live in Placerville CA. All I want to do now is take the knowledge from this video and just walk many of the local creeks and the American up and down, watch and observe. Use my head then get some GOLD. You are one awesome person. Thanks.
thanks , we want to get all of the info out there so that it can be used by everyone.
Hi Jeff, Rick and Ricky Jr here! father and son prospectors here. We are coming on an excurson with you sometime soon, so come on!!! Let's Goooooo!
Thanks JEFF that's a cool learning tool !!
is jeff a genius? i think probably. is he rich? i cannot tell. is he entertaining? beaucoup. i know he leaves me wanting more of his entertaining educational wisdom. thanks jeff.
Best class project ever.... I mean hydrodynamic test model... Amazingly useful and fun way to see and learn how so many different deposits occur. Great Job and thanks!
100,000 years later
that gold could be anywhere, hopefully near me in my non gold state
Great video.
see Jeff this is why I've liked your content for so long, you're not one of those stingy old timers, you teach the upcoming generation of miners. thank you sir!!
I appreciate that!
Great model Jeff, I think I'll build one myself to teach my young cousins
Awesome visual Jeff I always learn something new on your channel
You made the subject of hydrodynamics fun and fascinating with your great river model! I have watched your vid twice so far. I shall not look at a river or creek with my old unseeing eyes! Your videos are well paced and interesting! Looking forward to more from you about reading rivers.
thanks Carla, love hearing that
It is crystal clear what you’re trying to convey! 👀👍
You can read a river but it takes your subs to read the youtube algorithm. I dont comment often but your channel gets me excited about geology again and that's why I want to share this quality viewing! Youda thought he paid for this comment but I just want to spread the word!
This is a excellent explanation of where to look for gold. Thank you Jeff
you betcha
That was extremely informative. Thank you.
Jeff, I learned more from this video than I would have in 2 years of College. You are a talented teacher and we are lucky to have you!
thanks ....always love hearing that and we got more on the way
@@Askjeffwilliams Can’t wait to see them!
Very cool !.. I dig your attitude and humour. Always good info , always entertaining. . Thanks
Ahh relief. The calming water flow relaxed my prostate, thanks Jeff!
This is the best example i've seen of the many variables I have to take into consideration whilst i'm standing wondering where to start👍 Thank you.
i was litterally just talking to my partner about needing a realistic visual way to see the way the material settles in the river as our river changed its course drastically this past winter. than i get home and you have this posted ive been busy so i just now got to watching but thank you for your time and expertise making the model its good to see assumptions of how things settle actually come to life AMAZING JOB GUYS!!
thanks and glad you liked it.
Well explained sir, I didn't study geology in my life but never have seen geologists like you, you are amazing. You are great..love you❤ wish I were there with you as a student.
thanks
Wow, that model is dynamic. Excellent work & thanks for breaking it down. Well done matey 👍👍👍
2 minutes ago? I get to be one of the first commenters on a ask Jeff Williams video! Now what was I going to say? Just like me Jeffs making mud pies again
Jeff is like the ultimate warrior of gold mining 🤟
That intro alone deserves a like
Great video. Haven’t seen anything like that. It changes some of my thinking on where to sample.
What also changes my thinking is just 2 days ago some fella found a 2kg monker in a grassy paddock near me in Ballarat, Victoria Australia. www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-27/gold-nugget-found-in-ballarat-by-retiree/11353044
Fantastic learning model. Nice work. I'm sure we will see this again! Now, about that cave system.........🙊
thanks and we are getting ready to show you that so brace yourself.
Great video! My bud and I are in a dry spell with the underwater detecting for jewelry. We decided to get back to our prospecting roots and learn to appreciate the gold a bit more. Watching this video was super motivational for me to get back out on the river bank! I did a much better job sampling and was more thorough than I had been in the past. Happy to say I found a real nice pay streak! 3-4 grams per bucket (classified to 1/8") and that's really good for these parts! Thanks again!
thats great ...stay on it and keep us posted
Just when I thought I had it kind of down, I see things I was all wrong about Jeff. But I keep learning. Good video man.
Great vid as always. Love your work. I just have one question...... Where do I get me one of them shirts?!! C'mon let's go!!
Outstanding video! Great scenarios in your river model. Did you name your model river? Can we stake claims on your model river?
Prospector Josh claim in my driveway and jeffs model river????? Interesting!
@@FlourgoldWizards that reminds me...I need you to move your vehicles off my driveway claim.
Hilarious ✅
This is a very kind gesture, some people would charge admission to a university education for that kind of modeling. Thanks Jeff!
This video is absolutely amazing. People can stand in rivers and point here and there say whatever they want. This is a clear example of how water moves material in the river ! Thank you
thanks
That was actually really neat! I need to make me one of them to findout where all my tools go after I lose them 😆! Thanks for the video Jeff!
whaaaaah whaaaaaaah great idea ....gonna throw tools in it next time.
@@Askjeffwilliams Please just drop a spoon in it haha cheers
I lost a gold pan! Would love to see how far they float
You found a snuffer bottle pauly buy 3 new ones with the gold that was in it jeez lol put a spoon in there you crack me up
Let’s go back to Virginia City and be my guest at Virginia City BnB Sun Mountain House. It would be fun to have you on the Comstock again. ⛏
Tell me when
This is hydrodynamic Dr. Williams. Your model of the river and how gold reacts is quite dynamic in itself. This is Brilliant Dr. Williams. I believe you should get an award for such thinking. Brilliant my good man, Brilliant. I am going to put you up for a Nobel Prize Award for Academia.
thanks.... and we accept that award.
I lived in NV most of my life, and you have taught me more about gold in the short month since i found your channel. thank you, i have not found a TH-camr that only wants to teach like you. i love all your videos, even changing oil in your car. (gained a ton of respect seeing you in the Toyota uniform). my hats off to you, as you have my respect. thank you, please keep it up.
thanks , really appreciate that ..... we will .
And Yeah Your Going To Get Wet!!!, Don't let Slim Winner Winner you just get a Chicken dinner on you huh!!, Thanks Jeff for Hydrodynamic's of Gold in Water!!
Nice model. Eddie Current, I want to school with his sister Alternating Current.
whaaaaaaaah whaaaaaaaaah
Didn’t she date direct current? Cousins I believe, but they are from back east so it’s ok.
I watch this video every night before bedtime lol
thanks
I know it's been awhile ago but I just found this video and Jeff I just have to say that is absolutely the most amazing model for showing how to find gold in creeks I have ever seen, I have now learned that in the creek I been panning I have been looking in all the wrong spots I always find the black sand and very tiny gold now I know what I got to do to find the bigger gold, Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to build and show us this, you and Slim are the Best
Disclaimer: reading rivers doesn't count towards your "Book It" reading goals and will not count towards your free personal pan pizza.
I watched your hydrological sedimentary deposition video and I found my first ever gold. I have never panned, but it worked out after a few hours. Now I have the gold bug! Awesome! I only worked in one area that you taught me, so thank you, professor. I am 69 years old and now I cannot wait to work the creek. I found gold on my second pan!
That is awesome!
Jeff this is a brilliant demonstration. Thanks for the thought, the realisation and for showing us. Excellent work my friend.
thanks
Well son, I learned a heap more from one of your videos than a hundred others! Keep up the good work! Kudos Jeff!
I keep saying your videos can't get any more informative. You proved me wrong with this video! You just made THE most important video for anyone prospecting in and around waterways. Just amazing!! Professor Jeff!! 👍👍
thanks Joanne, really appreciate that......and hope to get back underground with ya
@@Askjeffwilliams Absolutely! I'm looking forward to it. And of course, Delamar in the fall!
Oh that model is so EXCELLENT! A high shot of the whole model would have been nice. Great Job Jeff wow.
That hydrodynamic model is effn epic! The visual aide to reference and correspond to the scientific theory’s of how hydrodynamic forces should make “the heavy’s” matriculate in that system is why you are the man! Let’s gooo! I do a lot of arrowhead hunting in the Midwest and the deposition of artifacts in relation to the water forces at hand is something that I’ve been acutely invested in for the last almost 40 years. Knowing how to read a creeks topography along with the influence of a confluence of water, or a big sandbar, etc… is what sets apart the men from the boys 🤙🏼
thanks Aaron
Absolutely my man!🤙🏼
Jeff, that was outstanding. Thank you for sharing and really illustrating the dynamics!
you betcha
Thank God for people like you and for sharing your knowledge with us rookies, you are a gifted educator and delightfully unique.
This is no doubt the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
I recently found my biggest nugget in my home country Austria because I was studying this great video ... over and over again.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart that I can learn so much from your knowledge. Here we say ... "Glück auf" -
That means in Miners language - Good Luck and get home safely.
After seeing a lot of deposits in standing water once you cut the flow I now understand why my bud taught me to read rivers in the hydraulic ditches after they closed them off for winter but before water pools dried up as well as showing me down at the river where there's still a good bit of flow to visualize the fluid dynamics in person.
Yet again a whole new dimension on Jeff's teaching. Glad you are out there.
Very informative and good instruction. It would of been nice to fan the camera out as well so you can see the river and obstructions and what not as a further idea of where the gold lays. Great vid tho Jeff
That was awesome Jeff I really needed to see that. I'm gonna watch it several times so I can memorize the finer points of all the drop out zones. And thank you for the help and support with respect
you betcha
everyone, EVERYONE should watch this video at least once if they want to pan for gold. excellent job jeff williams
thanks
SUCH A GREAT VIDEO!!! After watching this I looked at my local rivers a little differently and found some new spots loaded with gold that nobody has thought to check before.
Really shows how dynamic reading the river can be. Huge amount of info. Thanks Jeff.
Best understanding demonstration I have seen Jeff, Thank you!
Great way to show how everything works and where to look. Thank you for also showing different variables and outcomes!
Great video 👍 as always Jeffro !!
I never really thought about it but I'm thinking that places to look needs to be adjusted according to the snow levels of the previous winter.
Very interesting,simple and mind opening Jeff thank you!
Why am I just seeing this now?!?! The Arkansas river in the bighorn canyon by me is all bends and huge Boulder with tons of twists and scenarios just like this. Thanks Jeff!!!
This is the best damn video ever on this subject you could watch 10,000 hours of other videos and not get as much as you will out of this one THANK YOU JEFF FOR THE EFFORT & REAL KNOWLEDGE YOU PUT INTO THIS!
thanks
Thanks cobba you saved me from a lot of stupid digging..I'm gona inspect some dry rivers and now I know exactly what to do 👍👍👍
Best river reading video yet! Helps explain some of the anomalies we experience in the real world.
Jeez this was a truly enlightening video, Jeffrey!
You're freaking awesome!!! 🏆🏆🏆
Such a great video i learned alot from a simple example great job jeff ...lets gooooo 😍😍
Static...
dynamic...
I was waiting for "apex."
New River College!
thanks Geoff!
Most excellent demonstration of the gold flow in a river bed. Thanks, very educational Jeff, Keep them coming!
Nice work Jeff! Great examples of how the rivers collect and concentrate the heavies!
Thanks sir
PT
Howdy Jeff. We just wanted to thank you from our hearts on putting love and devotion into all your videos.
you betcha....really glad you liked it....
Best gold panning video. thanks a million Jeff
Excellent lesson for a newbie like me! I have rivers and creeks all around where I go prospecting! Thanks Jeff!
Thanks, cleared up my thoughts on several misconceptions I had..
This video taught me so much. I’m a visual learner so this went above and beyond.
Fantastic demo Jeff. Thanks again.
Extremely instructive video. Thank you for this post
Amazing guy, amazing team and brilliant videos. Fun and interesting as always, I can never get enough. Cheers Jeff!
thanks Cheers Craig
Loved this visual. Can’t wait to compare this to some of the dynamics going on at my claim.
Thanks Jeff for sharing your knowledge.
Hands down THE BEST EXPLANATION!!!! Thank you for the information!!!
You're very welcome!
That was the best information ive come across this year will be my first time out hunting for gold in the wild instead of in bags this just helped narrow my focus on the water system im looking at that runs through old gold mine territory.ill be digging through all your content now see what other great information you have to offer
Thank you for making this video. I went to pan a large stream last night. It was flooded so this will help me know where to look when the stream returns to normal.
Awesome Jeff! I'm going to go buy a bunch of plywood and epoxy. Get a Lidar scan of my creek, build the model, dump some sand and gold painted lead in it, get a backhoe and put some boulders in my creek.........nah. You just taught me 4 years of hydro-dynamics in 22 minutes! Thanks man!
exactly
One of your best videos Jeff. Thanks for taking the time to build this excellent model.
Thank you jeff this is alot better model than the other one i saw and just so happens that sharp bend spot is excatly an area i was curious about here locally .....very very informitive
Jeff this video is gold.. pure gold for prospectors
we thought so too especially with lidar
Wow!! Best learning experience I have ever had. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
Great video Jeff your knowledge of how a river deposits gold is outstanding , thankyou for that demonstration it's much appreciated. ✌️✌️🇦🇺
Nice visual. That could be a great tool for seeing how seasonal water fluctuations change deposition. And, where the deposits consistently are given both high season runoff and low.
Awesome visual ! Thanks for sharing that !
you betcha
