The Audio is Superb Chris. For anyone who doesn't quite agree just take a look at the background. The Trees are waving in a fairly strong breeze yet the Audio is Crisp and Clear. The Video looks great as well. At times you can hear Chris' Voice sounding a bit tinny. Realize that this is the Digital Components cancelling wind noise as best as it can. Overall the Audio has improved to a Tremendous Degree. The Video (lighting, angle, backgrounds, pics, etc.) got gooder too. :D
Hi Chris, I’ve been watching you for over 3 years, even before I bought my new gold detector. I’ve learnt a lot from you and I’ve just ordered your book. Some live digs or real time filming your detecting would really increase your following and views. Ps. I’ve been making videos for almost 12 years. Andy.
Finally got my first gold, in part Thanks to Mr. Ralph and his wealth of information. Its not much but still a thrill to me, and a great holiday too! I was also able to haul a little gravel back to pan at home... Cant wait to see what i got there too!
Always check on line there's always guys selling detectors they don't use at get discount I even sold my gold monster for $400 I have the 3 big boys now I even just bought a GPX 6000 for $5000 I used the gold I found to buy it only cost me two and 1/4 oz
Been a year in the making but me and a buddy are taking 2 weeks and hitting SD, MT, WY and CO on a prospecting trip and all the information you have provided is being utilized to the fullest.
Lidar data now publically available will help find old workings, trails, wagon roads and other man made disturbances of land surfaces. Great gold finds in this video that appear to not have traveled very far from the source. Good hunting.....
Raw data is easily available, but it needs to be processed to be useful and really only the high resolution data is helpful. The high resolution data is only available for some locations.
Loving the suspenders. ❤ Enjoying the education 👍 As Jeff Williams says you have to put boots on the ground but way before that you need to do your homework. Chris have you seen the lidar technology on drones they use for prospecting? That is something that really interests me. We have come a long way since the 1800's
That’s beautiful country I would absolutely enjoy being there even if I didn’t find gold I do have your book and would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in prospecting Thanks so much

Hey Chris! Hope ur having a wonderful day. I came back to tell you that the last video of the SciShow channel is dedicated to kimberlites! It made me think about you! Its just a 10 min video, maybe you find it interesting!
Dolomite is a kind of rock. Use Google to find out more information on Dolomite. shela is not a word in the English language, so I do not know what it means.
Would you make a video of how you went about tracing a gold patch back to its source, or would it be the same as "loaming", which you've already made a video of?
Chris, Those three nuggets you showed are nice finds but if I wanted to backtrack it to a possible source, Is it safe to say the wire structure and the Iron oxide together indicate it came out of laterites and not quartz or Calcium ?
Not laterite. This is a region where there is no laterite present anywhere within hundreds of miles. They are just in slope soils and debris eroding off the local hills. They come from a shear zone in the local rocks which have some quartz.
It would be nice if you would do some videos for those of us that are not stuck in the elementary part of prospecting. Like Jeff Williams this channel sticks to more grade school kid like teaching. Poor Miners is real in depth channel for adults. I wish you would go into stuff more like that. Thanks
Look to me to be a plug for poor miners, Chris and it appears to be more about scrap gold or pawnshop stuff. I've been prospecting for gold for over 40 years and I thought that your advice of doing research first before you leave for the field and looking for old timers workings in the field is probably some of the best advice one could get for a gold prospecting trip. In my experience you are trying to educate a large base of prospectors with a wide variety of skills. I suppose if someone needed more details they could read your book. No one and i repeat no one understands everything there is to know about gold prospecting. Anyways, Thanks for your efforts!
@ChrisRalph I took it to a jewler who said they did an acid test, and it came back positive as platinum, but I'm still unsure is it possible for it to be false positive
Finding gold is the skill of prospecting. The more skill you have, the easier it becomes, but it is never truly easy It can go from extremely difficult to just difficult..

Really Nice Specimens Chris 👍 Hope you can track some more down in the new spot ⛏🎧
I hope so too - and I expect to do that. Should be doing that in some up and coming videos.
Always learn something from your videos Chris😊 im half way through the book as well🎉
Glad you like them!

I am trying to get gooder and gooder with each video. Progress can be slow, but over time it happens.

Some live digs or real time filming your detecting would really increase your following and views. Ps. I’ve been making videos for almost 12 years. Andy.
I intend to be doing more of that this summer - specifically on the new patch that I talked about in this video.
More great information, thanks for sharing. Just ordered your book. Should arrive on Tuesday!
Awesome, thank you! I'm sure you will enjoy the book.
You will enjoy the book I’m not even halfway through it and have gained a lot of knowledge
Cool finds !!!!!!
THanks. I'm excited to get out there again and see if I can find more.
Finally got my first gold, in part Thanks to Mr. Ralph and his wealth of information. Its not much but still a thrill to me, and a great holiday too!
I was also able to haul a little gravel back to pan at home... Cant wait to see what i got there too!
Nice work! We all start somewhere, and my first gold was only a little and small.
Always a treat to catch one of your tutorials, Chris !
Glad you like them!
Always educational Chris😊
Thanks, glad the videos are helpful.
I have friend that get frustrated when they don't find it and I always say the same thing just be persistent and keep digging and looking works for me
Keep learning and trying to do better and better.
I have everything for placer prospecting EXCEPT a metal detector....cant wait..i support my family so i can't afford a 1,000$ hit.
Start with a simple pan
When I was a younger man with kids at home, I could not afford such an expense either.
So, you've got a pick?🤔
Always check on line there's always guys selling detectors they don't use at get discount I even sold my gold monster for $400 I have the 3 big boys now
I even just bought a GPX 6000
for $5000 I used the gold I found to buy it only cost me two and 1/4 oz
@@MRGOLD99.999
I’m starting with a pick and a pan with time I will work my way up
Awesome video Chris. Thanks for doing these. Appreciated.
My pleasure! Glad you like them.
Been a year in the making but me and a buddy are taking 2 weeks and hitting SD, MT, WY and CO on a prospecting trip and all the information you have provided is being utilized to the fullest.
I wish you the best of luck in your prospecting trip.
Great lessons and you sure did a good job spotting them old workings. So you could get that gold on the last day of your trip 👍👍
Thanks. Glad you liked the video.
Thanks for the advice. I just struck out on this weekends trip. But I learned a lot from this trip. And some new places to prospect.
That's the right attitude. You got this!

Chris have you seen the lidar technology on drones they use for prospecting? That is something that really interests me. We have come a long way since the 1800's
I have seen that too. I looked into it and Lidar equipped drones are a minimum of several thousand dollars each.
Cheers Chris 👍👍👍
Thanks.
Very nice and informative, thank you 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
That’s beautiful country I would absolutely enjoy being there even if I didn’t find gold I do have your book and would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in prospecting
Thanks so much
It is beautiful, but was even more beautiful before the fires burned millions and millions of acres in recent years.

Thanks for the kind words.
Something I don't see much is a cradle it's an interesting piece of equipment that i like using. Thanks Chris
Very true - cradles are for ground where the gold is good and there is a little water but not enough for sluicing.
Hey Chris! Hope ur having a wonderful day. I came back to tell you that the last video of the SciShow channel is dedicated to kimberlites! It made me think about you! Its just a 10 min video, maybe you find it interesting!
Interesting.
Chris love your videos. But this is mostly about the west. I have learned alot from you anyways. And thankyou!
Glad you like the videos and find them helpful.
Mr Chris i want you to explain for me what are dolomite and what are shela
Dolomite is a kind of rock. Use Google to find out more information on Dolomite. shela is not a word in the English language, so I do not know what it means.
Shela is slang in Australian for a young lady :)
And I have a cousin whose name is Shela, but I don't think that is what he is asking.....
Would you make a video of how you went about tracing a gold patch back to its source, or would it be the same as "loaming", which you've already made a video of?
Already done. See: th-cam.com/video/Q3lwdFf0y9M/w-d-xo.html

Which instrument is good for testing gold purity? Can you mention one or two brands you know?
Minelab makes the PRO-ALLOY Gold Purity Tester
@@ChrisRalph thank you

Sir, I think I found platinum nuggets. I was wondering if you could give me advice on it
Find a buyer in your own country and have him look at your finds in person.
@@ChrisRalph I will take it to a dealer as soon as possible
@ChrisRalph I took it to a jewler who said they did an acid test, and it came back positive as platinum, but I'm still unsure is it possible for it to be false positive
@@ChrisRalph ?
Turns out meaningful gold is extremely difficult to find , go figure
Finding gold is the skill of prospecting. The more skill you have, the easier it becomes, but it is never truly easy It can go from extremely difficult to just difficult..
The True Secret is Spirit and Water (holy spirit) water does become Golden and rocks do transmute thru the Holy Spirit* Repent.
The Holy Spirit is real, water into gold transmutation is not.
