    After doing a lot of research we finally made it out to an area we believe has another waterfall but this one is in the middle of the desert and the current temperature out there is 115 degrees so this should be interesting.. We found this by using our secret number set and if you want to see how those works just watch this video ua-cam.com/video/USg1MtJggo0/v-deo.html and smash that like button ....SMAS IT HARD !!!!!!

    Hey jeff! I am a member of a group that has claims around barstow. We have found gold in washes coming off hillsides. Ive wondered where is this gold coming from. Its chunky so it hasnt travled very far. There is quartz float everywhere on top of these hills but no vein in sight. Is this a huge flood plane that left all this material? Maybe you could do a short video on this area so we can better follow the clues.

    • @dionh70
      @dionh70 3 місяці тому +1

      The bull quartz IS your vein indicator. All the mineralization has been weathered out, so all the mineral values are below ground. If you have float, you have veins. You just have to find it.

    • @UncommonDenominatorj528
      @UncommonDenominatorj528 3 місяці тому +1

      Between Cleghorn Lakes Mountains and Fort Irwin is something strange, it totally seems like a flood basin but at the same time you gotta remember that it's not part of the great basin unlike the region to the north/northeast with Death Valley and north of Holloran Springs, where Baker is deep in that hole. It's weird I tell, just straight weird.
      So much black sands everywhere but where the hell can these veins be. It doesn't seem possible that it can be all Placer deposits strewn that far from the San Bernardino range but what if that were possible?

    • @waynelacroix8870
      @waynelacroix8870 3 місяці тому +1

      @UncommonDenominatorj528 my thoughts are that it is one giant flood basin. There are no indicators of hard rock gold anywhere for miles in all directions. The gold is spotty and very random. It's a huge Placer deposit left by a massive flood. It's so widespread that it's difficult to follow any known clues.

    • @waynelacroix8870
      @waynelacroix8870 3 місяці тому

      @dionh70 I guess what I'm asking is how do you find the vein if the float is on top of a hill? Don't you follow the float up? There is no vein where it could have come from . The float is 30 to 40 lbs. It couldn't have come from far away unless it was a massive flood even then it would have sunk into the gravel.

    • @UncommonDenominatorj528
      @UncommonDenominatorj528 3 місяці тому +1

      @@waynelacroix8870 friggin amazing, like I said this little region is weird.
      So you say that in all directions there are no indicators of hard rock gold, which is confusing but not entirely impossible, yet when you say that you are finding float on the tops of hills then are these like crystal quart points or are they very fine metamorphic chunks with embedded minerals? Because that shit is weirder than I thought yet I remain questioning that it's impossible to be from great distances.
      Flood basin is very possible after all, I don't deny that even if we are not part of the Great Basin, now a massive flood seems possible too but less likely as I have not seen any evidence presented that there was such a massive flood. Nevertheless, if there was a massive flood it would explain a few things I am sure, just not everything.
      The topography for example would make a little more sense if the desert was gradually sloping 1 direction from here to the Colorado River, but that's not the case. So here is my thought on something that can leave evidence that looks like a massive flood but actually wasn't, sounds crazy but since this region is strange it might not be all that impossible.
      First thing to note is that there are very many different isotopes of Gold and from a chemistry standpoint there are a plethora of circumstances for why Quartz is a good indicator of its presence but even Iron Pyrite can be an indicator too. Moreover, though very uncommon Gold can be found as a stable salt such as Tellurides, among a few others. The purest Gold likely still has a half-life but it's so freaking long that we consider it infinite for practical purposes.
      Now though we are very certain of the reality that when there is quartz float there is almost always a vein somewhere, the idea that's its 100% guaranteed that the vein has NOT been completely eroded away may be wrong. And I would venture a guess that if such a circumstance in a particular environment exists, the Mojave desert here is a great candidate for such environment.
      Crazy as it sounds, I may be possible that this region holds evidence of a "very long period" of constant (maybe not consistent) mineral deposition which could have completely eroded many (likely not all, but perhaps maybe for the Placer you are finding) once pre-existing veins. This of course would take a very long time but totally possible and even though most Gold Isotopes don't have such a long half-life, the few most stable Isotopes do; one of the unique and very valuable properties of this element. So even after a vein is gone and eroded, widespread evidence of Placer from such a vein will still be there and the crazy part is that not all of it will be buried and entombed in the earth forever, very possible that new erosion patterns start exuming it from its tomb and bring it to the surface.
      Now here's the craziest part, erosion and deposition are always happening even when the surface has Grasslands, Forests or any type of ecosystem where there is a thick coat of vegetation but when vegetation is sparce these phenomenon happen more rapidly and by no coincidence does that leave a DESERT as the one ecosystem which itself has unique properties just like the minerals it holds. This might not seem to be very crazy but this circumstance implies speeding up geological forces and so it likely goes hand in hand with speeding up Radioactive Decay of its minerals that are the least stable and of which have more unstable Isotopes. Yes, I totally forced the discussion into basic particle physics.
      Let's say for example tha the Placer you are finding is both very stable and is also very OLD, ancient per say. Not at all impossible. So that should also beg the question of why the gold isn't buried so deeply if it is old, unless the geological forces contributing to new erosion patterns are bringing to he surface (exuming) what could be "ancient placer". So even if this was OR still is an active flood basin, totally plausible, the phenomenon of gold sinking into the dirt very likely is happening but could be sinking into soil where there is NO HARD ROCKS containing gold but ancient Placer scattered everywhere, making it appear to not be sinking. See what I am trying to convey here? I know, friggin mind boggling but might just make sense.
      Even though it's horrible to think that the specific Placer you are finding may be making you chase a vein that is long gone, for that I feel like an A**, so hopefully I am wrong about your particular circumstance but if not im sorry mate. Like, if the float is already at, or near, the top of the hill, then perhaps the hill in question was either much smaller or wasn't even a hill at the time when the deposition was coming from a Vein that wasn't completely eroded yet and the very parcel of earth on/near the top of this hill in question was relatively lower (downhill) and downstream from where such vein in question was located. Now that's friggin crazy 🤪...
      There is a UA-cam channel from a man named "Myron Cook", I love it because his way of explaining resonates with me and the things he explores are wild. Check him out, he has a video discussing the topic of "The Ancient Rockies" which are long gone and eroded away but have left fragments behind that are being unearthed thanks to the forces which are present in maintaining the current Rocky Mountains.

    The thought came to me that if you took a stethoscope into your drift mine you could hear your running water easier. You might be able to track down other running water and get an idea of direction. You could listen in the sump also to determine if there was a river under it. You might use the old mechanic's trick of a screwdriver on your ear also..Stethoscope can be found at some surplus stores.

    People overlook the fact that some waterfalls are seasonal from rainstorms in a monsoon season. While not there at all in other seasons. People skipped and walked right past a dry place in wrong season. People couldn’t even travel to certain remote places if no water is around. Can only go there in winter time. It rains and makes waterfalls etc. At other times of year not a drop of water

    Native of AZ here, the western deserts of az can get hotter than a 2 peckered billiegoat. Watch out for snakes in the shade and in the mine entrances. Just because the sun goes down doesnt mean your safe from the critters. Remember, in the southwest deserts, every critter becomes nocturnal. Watch out for scorpions and centipedes flipping rocks. And dont forget about those dam black widow spiders they can ruin your day.

      Maybe our favorite gold miner, prospector, AND geologist should become nocturnal. If your dead, a whole mine of gold isn't going to do you any good.

    The coarse piece had to be from the outcrop. You didn't see an outcrop at the waterfall, so the gold had to tumble down it. That would have taken the coarseness out of it. Maybe the flattened pieces were from the waterfall.
