    I was under the impression that the prevailing theory on the apparent movement of the Yellowstone Caldera was that the hot spot and/or mantle plume has remained relatively stable in its position compared to materials of greater depth, while the plate has slowly moved Westward as per the movement Westward from the mid-oceanic ridge in the Atlantic Ocean; and not the movement of the plume from West to East?

      Nathan Anderson That’s what I thought as well at least for the hot spot that is. They’ve found the that plume that fuels Yellowstone originates in Mexico

    I drive all the way back to California to hunt for gold. Maybe I just suck, but it’s been so heavily mined I’ve never found more than small flakes and in small quantities. i’ve watched people dredge for three days to only get a couple grams if they’re lucky

    Great video Jess. I've always thought that the fine placer gold in the Snake River was most likely washed down from Utah during the Bonneville Flood event. There just doesn't seem to be hardly any lode gold in the trail resulting from that traveling hot spot that's now under Yellowstone.

    Thank you for this video. I got into gold prospecting here in Idaho and am part of the High Desert Prospectors in Mountain Home (right next to Boise). I've been trying to find a new claim for our club, but it's been real tough because everything seems to be claimed up. I'll try to download the file you mentioned and use it to continue to search for new locations for our club.
    I did find gold at the very top of a nearby mountain where there is tons of quartz, as far as the eye can see down every draw, but I have only found small flower gold in the top soil. Do you have any idea where the gold might be coming from? Decomposing granite maybe? The only water up there is from rain and run off from the melting snow.

    What I find I interesting about the 16.1 location of yellow stone hot spot is that on the oregon and nevada maps there isn't any gold finds in the ring fractures. Or am I mistaken,
    It's TRUE this is a very un populated area with little exploration.

    Jess. I know that your video was posted a few years ago and I am now just responding. I live in Nampa Idaho and have prospected in a lot of different locations in southern Idaho. Very good gold in most locations. First things first. The correct pronunciation of Boise is "Boy C" not "Boy Z". A lot of Californians moving here and they all say it wrong for some reason. Second there is a thing called the Idaho Batholith and has a lot to do with geological creation of gold in this area. We have a lot of volcanic activity under our state and a lot of hot springs every where because of it.

    Hello Jess, I watch all your videos but have not come across one that talks about avalanches in the mountains? I know rain and snow will move gold. My question is what should I do when there has been four avalanches in the area where my claims are. It took me two yrs to find four mine shafts and eight adits on my claims but now I'm not sure of what has happened on my claims. I tried to get up to my claims in Colorado but due to the avalanches I'm cut off from going up there. My claims all start at 10200 ft up to 11500 ft there is eight ft of snow on the gulch floor, well possibly more due to the avalanches. So do you think that My claims are going to be safe to be on once the snow melts or will it be dangerous to be on my claims. Also I found a area that hydrulic mining was done should I keep away or can I check the area once the snow melts?

    • @ProspectorJess
      @ProspectorJess  5 років тому +1

      You are going to have to wait for the snow and ice to melt. Then proceed with caution watching for structural damage. Let any earth movement stabilize as well. Moving dirt is even more powerful than moving water.

    I have a few questions for you, I'm 62, in very good health, but I found out that Social Security is only going to give me $330 a month to live off on, in today's times that's impossible, I have about $10,000 that I've saved up through life, and a pickup truck. I have nothing tying me down, so I'm seriously thinking about becoming a prospector, one time going through the Smokies, I stopped at a place and panned some gold, I found some, not a lot, but out of 1 bucket I don't think that was bad. Now what I'm considering is taking that money I've saved, buy a high banker, sluice, declassifier, and other items, including a metal detector. Do you think that this is a good idea, also I plan on getting a couple of horses to pack stuff in, and to reach remote areas, I grew up on a farm, and I know how to live off the land. What do you think, all I think I need to survive is about 1/2 an ounce a week, is this accomplishable??? Any advice on where in the lower 48 I should go, and I don't fear anything.

      @@damonzilliox2751 that seems a very slow way of going, especially when I see most of the flake gold sooooooooooooooooooo small, a high banker catches it all, this way a better chance of accumulated gold, I've noticed with a sluice that the amount of dirt one shovels in, is greatly reduced, and some high bankers have declassifiers attached, so, economically, if one is actually trying to make a living off gold mining, the bigger the better. And the metal detector helps locate the gold one's searching for, then just start shoveling in the paydirt. Bigger is better...ask any woman...lol.

    So gold can be found in veins with or beside cinnabar?
    True or false?
    How does cinnabar affect gold in the gossen?( oxidised zone?)
    This info is hard to find due to the mercury scare the government has made in the past ( yes a real thing) but book writers shy away from this part of the topic.
    Such as gold and Galina.
