I have watched so many of these mining videos and finally someone explains things where I can understand how the heck this all works! Thank you for explaining how the gold travels and collects in the quartz, so thankful to finally get some understanding of this amazing world you live in. Fascinating they were doing this in the 1800’s with much less technology, very hard and dangerous work those miners were living. Stay safe!
One thing is for sure. Jason works his ass off on these mines. Old school determination. These mobile setups are genius and very function for a one or two man operation.
I just wanted to thank you for teaching me so much. I don’t know why but this stuff is fascinating to me from start to finish. I would come work for free just to absorb the knowledge you have! Thank you, I love all of your videos!
I always enjoy listening to somebody who really knows their craft. Whether it is a master electrician, carpenter, mason, plumber, computer scientist or in this case a miner. Their vocabulary alone is indicative of their thorough understanding of the subject matter. Thumbs up!
so it's mainly a crushing and grinding unit to get powder around 1mm. Then gold trap and gold pan to recover the gold. It's for small scale capacity, exactly suitable for the small miners or whom pay interest in gold rush.
Here is a great 👍 idea that will help your back and time. A small portable feeling belt up to the level of the truck system or ground. You could also just carry the fulcrum legs, belt, 3-4 8’x12”-24”+ sectional with motor. If it works out for y’all like I know it will please consider a royalty for the plans especially if you sell them we could talk further. I truly hope y’all took samples and made some thin sections to get some ideas on the original grain sizes before the crusher and grinder.
still a great rig ausome set up. I would add a metal tube roof that you can put a tarp on keep you and the equipment dry. And a jack all to use on the truck to level sluice run. still quite hard to improve on that set up, good work.
If you use a graduated cylinder with water displacement to determine the volume of the button , you can infer it’s specific gravity. In that way you can interpolate the percentage of your button that is actually gold.
Hi Jason, You always upload great video’s but this one was really in the excellent category. From inside the mine to processing and finally the finished product. Really good work and thank you for your hard work in the rain. That’s an excellent system you have there. From Down Under Cheers Mate Mark
Thanks to the great TH-cam algorithm I found your videos. I won't ever be mining for gold, but I really enjoy your teaching style. I'm impressed with your knowledge of geology and chemistry. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and documenting your work.
This is an excellent video and the gentleman speaking knows what he is discussing very well. With my many years experience as a mining engineer and an experienced UG and surface miner, this is an excellent explanation of hard-rock mining.
Watched this video several months ago and here I am again, it's really cool. Makes me want to get into gold mining, or at least marketing the hardware for gold mining.
Nicely done Jason! Always appreciate you sharing your findings with us! That's got to be an awesome feeling to spend 3-4 hours and come back with over 1/4 oz of gold.
This is a very good job of explaining the basics of hard rock mining! I have read a bit and watched a lot of videos about historical mining and I think you have a great knack for putting in such a way anyone can understand. I would love to go underground in WA gold mines, been in a few in Oregon here. Gracias
Appreciate the amount of work you go to, making sure you get close-ups so we can see the bubbling molten metal, and varying point of view. I'll never be a gold miner but I really enjoy your videos.
Great video, I really appreciate the way you explain some of the terminology, it makes it much easier to understand the layout and what was being done, it must have been scary at times. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
I have a question. If you ran the rock thru a crusher ( like this) and a second crusher ( of a much finer size) for a smaller size would that be better?🤔
Something that just peeked my curiosity when I was hooking up shredder to my Kubota compact tractor. You could probably work up a model of the mobile hammer mill and sluice adapted for PTO off of a small tractor. I would imagine a lot of small miners have compact tractors with front end loaders for moving material.
Its amazing what the old time miner's did ,I live in California gold country just off hwy 49 there's evidence everywhere where mines are at even a old abandoned dredge frozen in time...Im always looking around the creeks for gold...Nothing major so far just a lotta fine gold...On public land.
Why not run the cons right through AR ? Wouldnt have silver to deal with after the button. really nice though.I want to go to Idaho and try your system there.Thanks for the Video. .
Thanks you actually showed me something I didn’t know now I have some more knowledge to work with. Very interesting unit that you got I’m going be looking into something like that for my claim.
K I'm chatting to much here ,,, but I would love to see you get that truck up there and how you set up the truck before you left..love this stuff Jason thank you
Mobile milling, nice job. Like Sticking to the basics. To bad some of our leadership in the country could learn more that. Hard hats off to you. Good job!!! How much are the bags to hold the tailings. Would you sale them. Winter time work, sit in the garage and become a pan pro. Then hook up propane and the steaks maybe a wobble pop or two for lunch. Maybe some melting. 👍 what would you recommend first, Jaw Or Hammer, what $anC of the matter. Dose it rollup the gold, or dose the water injection limit the that from rolling balls. Thanks!!!
In your sluice does your riffles fill up and blow out the gold the looks full of mud. Wondering if the gold cube would work or he is making a centrifugal gold recovery machine.
Wow sangat menarik sekali,, infonya sobat,, apa yg anda lakukan tentang mineral emas sangat menarik sekali,, terima kasih atas infonya,, Salam dari Pencari Emas Tradisional Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🙋🙌💪💯👍
I think that you didn't give the correct amount because it looked to me like you saved all the tailings to regrind to smaller bits so you could run it again. It would have been nice if you mentioned all of this. After crushing the ore it looked like the crushed ore was way to big to run through the sluice. True or false ?? I am subscribed so I'll be notified if you answer Thank you so much
Nice presentation Jason. Really shows your experience in the subject of gold mining. Well equipped also. Very good operation, both at the shop and at the mine. Stay healthy and safe.
In other videos he will take 20-30 lbs of quartz/ore than crush and grind said rock. Run it over a shaker table and weight the gold found. He uses that to estimate the amount of gold per ton of quartz in different locations in the mine and property.
This is awesome! What do you mean by "develop it from the outside"? You dont have to go inside the old workings? Does that mean blasting a new tunnel? Im soooo happy I've found your channel and these videos, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning whenever a new one comes out. This is all so fascinating and exciting to me, and as far as i know theres nobody else doing this and documenting it at all, and especially not so well. Thank you Jason!
That was really really neat 👌 I've never seen the process before.I like watching these kinds of videos very good insight .I wish I could do that some day.Thank you for showing me.

YEAH, JASON ROCKS... I WATCH HIM THE HURD LIKE EVERYDAY. I LIKE IT BETTER THAN EVEN GOLD RUSH... NOT ALL THAT DRAMA...
Thanks!
One thing is for sure. Jason works his ass off on these mines. Old school determination. These mobile setups are genius and very function for a one or two man operation.
Fantastic film!
This is deff. The best Mining and prospecting channel on all of TH-cam!
you do a really good job of explaining what the termanology and all aspects of mining happen...very well done Jason.
Appreciate you taking the time and effort to explain this to us all. *in the rain*
The rain is something you learn to live with in this area, since it does it approximately 9 months of the year.
@@r.awilliams9815 9 mos of rain! Oohhh that sucks!
At least you don't get 7 or 8 months of snow, like in Flagstaff AZ.
But yeah, I would suppose you do get used to both rain and snow after awhile.
You can pick your day but you can't pick your weather.
He needs better lights sponsors!!
Finally a gold video that gives you what you want.
The end-to-end process is extremely informative.
Best short course in hard rock I’ve ever seen. Thank you sir!
good job Jason.....and " Yeah....your gonna get Wet ! "
Tommyknockers chase you outta your hole? What's the matter, you scared boy?!
Soooooo Wet
ready to go!
Jimmy John keeping an eye on your competitors, pretty nice setup he has.
"So c'mon, let's go!"
Really enjoy videos like this, not many channels show the inner workings! Keep up the great work!
Thank you ever so much Jason for teaching the general public. Please stay safe and healthy and take care of yourself and your family. ☺☺☺😇😇😇
You should buy a gazebo/canopy for the back of your truck
I just wanted to thank you for teaching me so much. I don’t know why but this stuff is fascinating to me from start to finish. I would come work for free just to absorb the knowledge you have! Thank you, I love all of your videos!
I love days like that....and a wee bit of gold too
Thanks Jason, it's really cool to see the whole process.
I always enjoy listening to somebody who really knows their craft. Whether it is a master electrician, carpenter, mason, plumber, computer scientist or in this case a miner. Their vocabulary alone is indicative of their thorough understanding of the subject matter. Thumbs up!
Hes a degree holder in geology
so it's mainly a crushing and grinding unit to get powder around 1mm. Then gold trap and gold pan to recover the gold. It's for small scale capacity, exactly suitable for the small miners or whom pay interest in gold rush.

I love how informative and thorough all the videos are. Even better when you are waking up and have a cup off coffee in hand.
still a great rig ausome set up. I would add a metal tube roof that you can put a tarp on keep you and the equipment dry. And a jack all to use on the truck to level sluice run. still quite hard to improve on that set up, good work.
Thank you so much for this video, I’m new to hard rock gold, I’m learning so much from you Jason
If you use a graduated cylinder with water displacement to determine the volume of the button , you can infer it’s specific gravity. In that way you can interpolate the percentage of your button that is actually gold.
That truck with a whole plant on it is so cool! That dry crusher is really munching down that ore like me with pretzels lol.
Hi Jason,
You always upload great video’s but this one was really in the excellent category.
From inside the mine to processing and finally the finished product.
Really good work and thank you for your hard work in the rain.
That’s an excellent system you have there.

You are a great technical lecturer.
You'd blow the mind of a humble miner from 1850 with a contraption like this. wow.
Thanks to the great TH-cam algorithm I found your videos. I won't ever be mining for gold, but I really enjoy your teaching style. I'm impressed with your knowledge of geology and chemistry. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and documenting your work.
This is an excellent video and the gentleman speaking knows what he is discussing very well. With my many years experience as a mining engineer and an experienced UG and surface miner, this is an excellent explanation of hard-rock mining.
I'm putting together a full station in a top of a truck where I can do what you just did, but I'll be recycling the water. I like your video.
Watched this video several months ago and here I am again, it's really cool. Makes me want to get into gold mining, or at least marketing the hardware for gold mining.
Watching you use buckets has given me an appreciation for conveyor belts.
Yep, the old MSHA mining safety and first aid classes. One full week on most of the classes. I remember them well.
Nicely done Jason! Always appreciate you sharing your findings with us! That's got to be an awesome feeling to spend 3-4 hours and come back with over 1/4 oz of gold.

Excellent video, I would love to come work with you to gain some of your
Knowledge! Thank you!
Great video. I like how you explain terminology. That is an ideal one man prospecting setup.
Appreciate the amount of work you go to, making sure you get close-ups so we can see the bubbling molten metal, and varying point of view. I'll never be a gold miner but I really enjoy your videos.
So glad I found your channel. Best mining videos I have seen. Thank You.
I have learned a lot but so much more to learn.... thanks for your knowledge
Great vid Jas ,you go hard son! Rain don’t even stop you,thank you from Australia 🇦🇺
Great video, I really appreciate the way you explain some of the terminology, it makes it much easier to understand the layout and what was being done, it must have been scary at times. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Hands down the best videos when it comes to the whole mining process. Well done.
I have a question. If you ran the rock thru a crusher ( like this) and a second crusher ( of a much finer size) for a smaller size would that be better?🤔
I can't see a better day than a rainy day to do this work on.
Something that just peeked my curiosity when I was hooking up shredder to my Kubota compact tractor. You could probably work up a model of the mobile hammer mill and sluice adapted for PTO off of a small tractor. I would imagine a lot of small miners have compact tractors with front end loaders for moving material.
Heres a warrior friend of mine as battled despite a rainy day.
Do you think if you burned the rock ina hot fire then poured water on them it would crush better and do less damage to the equipment?
Hi sir. How do you separate gold from other metal? what do you add there? Thank you.
Its amazing what the old time miner's did ,I live in California gold country just off hwy 49 there's evidence everywhere where mines are at even a old abandoned dredge frozen in time...Im always looking around the creeks for gold...Nothing major so far just a lotta fine gold...On public land.
very nice Jason, awesome portable!
Romeo's and lime green socks, man. 😂😅😂😂 love it
I REALLY like watching the videos with you mining by yourself from the truck, gives me hope I can be a miner one day with a similar setup.
Why not run the cons right through AR ? Wouldnt have silver to deal with after the button. really nice though.I want to go to Idaho and try your system there.Thanks for the Video.
.
I enjoyed that, thanks for laying it out so plainly.
Thanks you actually showed me something I didn’t know now I have some more knowledge to work with. Very interesting unit that you got I’m going be looking into something like that for my claim.
Thank you so much jason,i hv learned all of you mining video .hv a nice day bro.
My sentiments are the same as the positive comments below. Nice one! 👏👍
Im glad i found this channel! I grew up around mt Baker. Great info, thanks
Excellent video. Very informative , interesting, intelligent. Thank you. Really enjoyed it.
WOW @ 36:40! Good Job
Thanks Jason love the set up. Pls do more of these exploration vids. Absolutely brilliant
Awesome video! Looking forward to seeing more from this mine. Seems like a cool place.
Great unit can you weld hard facing on hammers
Really interesting!! And clearly shows how dangerous old mines are !! Thanks !
K I'm chatting to much here ,,, but I would love to see you get that truck up there and how you set up the truck before you left..love this stuff Jason thank you

Thanks for explaining it to me as much of these videos I watch
I always have questions
You answered some of them
That thing is awesome!
Love the truck set up... Howdy from the Gold Hill Mining District, Jackson County/ State of Jefferson XX 🍛 ⛏⚒⛏
Whenever I'm crushing buckets of ore I always think about your fancy conveyor belt system.
Me too
How 🤔 much does a set up like that on the back of the truck cost ?
Awesome..how much is the cost of the 3 machines you have on your ute
Does anyone know how to asses where a vein may be, i wanna learn about that, id like to retire and have a small operation some day
Thanks mate. Love your descriptions and insight. Really interesting to watch. Thanks so much for your vids.
25:26 those trees in the background experienced a mudslide in their past
that slope seems to be in motion keep an eye on that
Jason did you say that Stringer should put out about 0z and a half to the cubic yard ?
i would want to put a pillar or two holding the ceiling up? just for piece of mind.
As usual Jason, you are the man. Thank you for the knowledge.
was a second set of flux added to the last part of the process?
Jason I like that set up what does it cost truck and gear New and what could you set it up for being used.?
Thanks for the vid. Its good for us to compare our geology and experiences with yours. (dry australia.. more like arizona). thanks again
In your sluice does your riffles fill up and blow out the gold the looks full of mud. Wondering if the gold cube would work or he is making a centrifugal gold recovery machine.
Wow sangat menarik sekali,, infonya sobat,, apa yg anda lakukan tentang mineral emas sangat menarik sekali,, terima kasih atas infonya,, Salam dari Pencari Emas Tradisional Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🙋🙌💪💯👍
Beautiful job man love watching
that was a fantastic, fascinating video - you're brilliant!
I'm like that truck mill good set up
36:35 that's a cool shot, props from those in flip flops.
That's a pretty good stope just looking at the colors. Wonder how the vein looks deeper down. Guess I'm ready, I've got the same cast iron fajita pan!
Nice vid Jason! Get those JUICY sections, boom🙌
What’s the best way to test an old Colorado ocean bed for gold?
I think that you didn't give the correct amount because it looked to me like you saved all the tailings to regrind to smaller bits so you could run it again. It would have been nice if you mentioned all of this. After crushing the ore it looked like the crushed ore was way to big to run through the sluice.
True or false ??
I am subscribed so I'll be notified if you answer
Thank you so much
Nice presentation Jason. Really shows your experience in the subject of gold mining. Well equipped also. Very good operation, both at the shop and at the mine. Stay healthy and safe.
How do you follow a vein to know where it goes? And what is the method you use for bulk sampling.
Love learning from your channel!
In other videos he will take 20-30 lbs of quartz/ore than crush and grind said rock. Run it over a shaker table and weight the gold found.
He uses that to estimate the amount of gold per ton of quartz in different locations in the mine and property.
Well done Jason. Good video. I'll organise a whip round to get you a decent torch...
So would that be profitable with the cost of the truck and the mills to process that ore you picked up?
great vid, that's what I've been trying to explain to people using my machinery
This is awesome! What do you mean by "develop it from the outside"? You dont have to go inside the old workings? Does that mean blasting a new tunnel? Im soooo happy I've found your channel and these videos, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning whenever a new one comes out. This is all so fascinating and exciting to me, and as far as i know theres nobody else doing this and documenting it at all, and especially not so well. Thank you Jason!
i think he means like surface mining or strip mining
Open pit mine?
Ask Jeff Williams is good channel and Ben Hurd they explain stuff like Jason mix them all up and you have the total package!!
That was really really neat 👌 I've never seen the process before.I like watching these kinds of videos very good insight .I wish I could do that some day.Thank you for showing me.
Excellent video.your giving us so much knowledge in your video thank you👍
