Yes, Georgia gold has a reputation of being the most pure, of any gold found in the world. Almost all natural unrefined Georgia gold is over 98% gold. 24 K
Tallapoosa GA , Royal Vindicator 🇺🇸👍🏻 we’re digging and shipping gold . The only active permitted MSHA regulated load gold mine in Georgia and 1 of 3 in the eastern United States.
One of the mines is Consolidated mine. When they put a Walmart in, it was over an old gold mine. Yep, and they found plenty of gold when they dug the foundation.
@@gregorypeterman6216 how’d you get in those tunnels? We’re you working to help building them or were you able to enter form like a elevator above ground in the walmart?
Thanks Jess. Always nice to see a new upload to your channel. Being a lifelong learner, I appreciate your experience and accuracy in this field. Rock on.
Just came across your video 5 years after posting. There is still a lot of gold in the mines in Dahlonega. Walmart is built right on top of Consolidated Mine. I completely cringed when you pronounced Dahlonega 😂 gave me a bit of an eye twitch, not gonna lie! Life just ain’t fun if you can’t tease a bit. I enjoyed your video!
I have a TH-cam channel called, N.Ga. Mine freaks where we go into some of these mines. You should not post locations of abandoned mines on the internet for everyone to see. I NEVER POST LOCATIONS ANYWHERE ONLINE. There are a lot of inexperienced people and kids who have no idea what they are getting into when they go into these mines. You may be held responsible for the information that you are posting. Some of these mines are more dangerous than caves. I get kids constantly wanting information on my channel and want give it to them, but now you've posted it for everyone to see.
You're absolutely right, im in Covington and I'll tell you the saying "you'll find gold where you look " is 100% accurate. The recognized gold belt is far broader and longer than any authority would care for common people to know. And fortunately for such authority common people are stupid and couldn't identify natural gold ore if it fell in their lap.. alluvial gold is the form most likely to be discovered and is much more difficult to collect and monetize effectively
It's pronounced Duh-lon-aga, I'm from Georgia born and raised in Macon which is in the middle of the state and I'm curious about what rivers and creeks i could possibly find gold since rivers flow down south from Atlanta and i would think with as many floods as we've had some had to wash south ? By the way thanks for the Google Earth mapping, i screen shot most of it.
My biggest question is this, since you actually have to own the land in Georgia in order to stake a claim oh, and most of us really don't have the money laying around or the financing that would go into this, what rivers can we Prospect gold from. I would travel to Georgia from Tennessee once I move there, I guess I would have to map the rivers myself
@@ProspectorJess reports say that gold has been found in Mississippi... but not in commercial amounts. Beyond that, I can't find any info on WHERE in Mississippi any gold was found, only that it was. Have you done any videos on MS, or have any info on location that would help me?
@@meettheworld6241 there is a place called Red Bluff in Marion county near the Louisiana border. It's also known as the "Mississippi Grand Canyon". My husband and I have successfully panned in the stream at the bottom of the trench. We found more gems like garnets and crystals than gold, but we did have flakes in the pan. Supposedly, the gold in Mississippi is carried downstream from gold bearing areas and is not naturally found in abundance in that state. But there's always a chance to find Lafitte's lost stashes of gold, so keep your eyes open, especially along the coast.
I have a request, a lot of people finding gold and Utah you know, the old dry River beds that don't have water anymore. If you can show us a mapping I wear a lot of these Dry River beds are and Utah, you would probably help a lot of people if you had any information for pertaining to that
i live in north georgia and started prospecting for about a year now but i cant seem to find anything in any creek or rivers around the northga gold belt. idk if i doing something wrong or the old timers got it all?
We use to get powder out of Cavender Creek, Chestatee, and the Yahoola all the time. It was too fine to handle by touch, I used to heat up my concentrates to make it melt together.
No it’s in the quartz rock. You have to get the bedrock of quartz rock and crush then pan. Also get soil in a creek from the bedrock or under big rocks or on the banks or dried up parts with rocks. I found gold in the quartz rocks. Also a lot of platinum there as well it is a grey silver color. There is also a Rhodium mine in Tate Ga so Rhodium is in that area. Rhodium is like $8k an ounce. Rhodium is found in Platinum rocks and is rare but since there is a mine close by then it’s not that rare there.
Hey jess how are you, I wanted to ask a intelligent man like you about gold nuggets, does ga, have any big nugget gold. Because this one miner told me there was only small flake gold in ga not worth finding. He only goes after big 70,000 dollar nuggets. I wanted to ask a professional miner like you. Does ga have big nuggets
Gregory Peterman have you been to Helen ga or Tennessee mountain? I was there this weekend both mountain I wanna start a gold finder group I live on 400 north an hour away from the mountains
@@itsthespanishlady62 no, I just ran a friends dredge in creeks around Dalonega, 35 years ago. Met some folks up there who were still doing it for a living.
Prospector Jess I wasnt expecting a reply ! hahah but i didnt know that ! thanks :) I have 1 or 2 uploads of visible ontario gold in quartz u might find eye appealing . ! check er out if u get a chance .
Here's some more on the topic of uses for gold (You are right, but a lot of other minerals go with gold too - e.g. Rare Earth Minerals) geology.com/minerals/gold/uses-of-gold.shtml
Hey jess, how did you get Google Earth to show all these mines ? Oh, i saw your pinned comment, thanks!
To see how and why I do this gold mapping way I do it go here: SourdoughMiner.com/GGM/
@@ProspectorJess ...Dead link.
@@jeancrisan Just clicked link and its good now.
@@ProspectorJess Does the mapping also have other minerals / gems
Dahlonega- pronounced (Duh - lawn - a - guh) A lot of tourist get this wrong too.
Thanks for the clarification
@@ProspectorJess Alex Trebek pronounced it the way you did when a contestant from Dahlonega appeared on Jeopardy. You're in good company.
funniest pronunciation I've ever heard of it, even better than when siri used to say BUFF- FORD, ga
That's how the Cherokee's say it -- so he's actually correct.
Joking, but who knows? I guess they called that area something.

I was raised in Dahlonega, great gold down here in GA!

Wal-Mart with gold bricks in the foundation.

So I live in cordele ga why cant gold be found othere places like cordele??? Maybe its because no one has looked???

Dahlonega gold
Is some of the purest gold. It is a lot more yellow than most gold due to its purity
I have old bed rock in my yard I live in middle Georgia... I need a job... Gold is so beautiful....
From Macon Georgia and like the video I wish I could tell you how to pronounce Dahlonega it sounds like duh lon ega if that helps.

I do not know. My mother had land there. That is why O am fortunate enough to pan in the creek that runs on her property.
If you watch the channel, gold is where you find it. That chap goes to Yahoula Park and also belongs to a club.
Where is a good place close to me. I'm in mcdonough. I've been to several place but still can't find anything decent. Barely specks.
hey did you find any places
@@2KLONEWOLF I've been to Dahlonega and over to conyers on a few rivers and still nothing.
where can you just pan for gold wit out FED, STATE DNR or guy with gun yelling at you? Not at a tourist spot either, ty.
Thx for the informantion i Like it
Cherokee county has good gold.
I'm interested in the South Carolina map.. will you be doing that also ?
Yes, just posted along with North Carolins

I found a platinum rocks that actually had some Rhodium. Yep 8k an ounce for Rhodium. Rhodium mine in Tate, Ga
I go out every weekend and pick up nuggets. I only go for $20k to $30k nuggets. The rest of em I toss back.
Nice info. Can you stake a claim on federal land in Georgia?
If you figure out how to do this, let me know. I've searched for this and never found it.
I never could find any gold in the national forest, it was outside of the gold belt. What they call it.

Pretty much the same for all mines, always seek permission and follow local claim law or face consequences. 🙄

So many things more valuable and usefull than gold .... :/ . sure looks nice but yanno ..
Depends on the use and percieved value. iPhones won't work without gold.
