We get asked alot about if its possible to make a living Gold mining without investing a lot of money and under right circumstances yes you can make good passive income from it. These are our best tips for doing just that and if you have a better way to make money Gold mining and Prospecting we want to know about it so leave you comment below and for more vids on Prospecting watch this vid ua-cam.com/video/7624DutE42o/v-deo.html and smash that like button ..SMASH IT HARD !!!!!
Your good friend Ralf says there is only magic hocus-pocus involved in dowsing, therefore I don't believe a word he says while he leads viewers completely wrong on gold prospecting. I caught him in many lies in his videos (which I quit watching) and to believe he received $50,000/month on a gold lease I would have to see his lease agreement and tax returns. Without proof, anybody can say anything they want to. It is up to the listener to decipher the truth from lies based on the persona of the story teller. Ralph has GREED stamped across his forehead which he will have to pay for in the afterlife and, Jeff, I suggest you watch your greed too before it's too late with leading to a tortured eternity after death.
Jeff can you tell me..What's a good assayer? In the Southwest here, for Small scale? Google search is worthless! I just want to send in a handful of rocks. I called one down in Tucson, they only do larger assays, and it's in the hundreds of dollars.. that was the only one I could even get a number for around here.. 🙏 thanks!
Something also to consider. Those patented properties are much much better as far as legal, zoning and regulations to build a processing millsite. We can't grind and dump tailings on the BLM lease land...noooo.
I'm gonna teach you the real secret.. I leased space at the old Collins Co. They made a fortune selling shovels and pick axes to prospectors during the gold rush. The real money was made by the ones selling supplies.
Hey Jeff, Steve and Reggie caretakers and mine operators at Luxury Gold Mine. One thing we have been toying with is making an area that we make our gold processing equipment available to local prospectors and allow them to bring there ore out to our location and process whatever stage of the ore they have is in. Giving them the opportunity to have access to equipment that normally would be to expensive for your average person. we also considered taking it one step further and building a location in town in a mining oriented area that is populated and set up a shaker table to sort there cons on by either percentages or hourly rate and have it accessed by keycode and 24 hour access. Luxury Gold Mine Morristown, AZ
Good luck with that. You will need an ore buyers license, and have to do a lot of paperwork. Disposing of any hazardous waste will eat all the profit. A great idea, but the g-men have screwed up the whole system.
Before they initiated a new law out here, I was able to go to one of multiple refineries to sell my precious metals. I'm guessing someone ruined it for all of us and got involved in some criminal mischief locally. Now I'm unable to sell any of my precious metals. I only can if it's poured in a bar, in its purest form and stamped with serial numbers along with presenting a business license including a tax ID. It all changed after January 2024. March 2023. I had no issues. Now I'm like a broke miner.
ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO BUY GOLD WANT IT'S BEEN BOUGHT FROM THEIR LARGE CORPORATIONS AND THEY DON'T WANT THE LITTLE GUY TO JUST GO OUT AND BE ABLE TO GET HIS OWN GOAL AND GET HIS OWN MONEY
I teach lessons and do consulting. Growing up in Alaska my grandpa taught me everything I know, now it's important to me to teach others in the hope that they will enjoy the wonderful life style I had. Cheers Stay safe my friend.
Jeff don't let Slim out very often. Jeff got married and he keeps Slim locked up in the Powder room in the Old Dutchman's mine. He only lets Slim out when he plans to steal Slim's gold😂😂😂😂
I KNOW IM A BIG NOBODY JEFF...BUT I JUST WANTED TO THANK GOD HE SENT YOU TO HELP TEACH FOLK'S LIKE ME...GOD BLESS YOUR HEART MY BROTHER FROM ANOTHER GRANNY
Thank you Jeff! You are a wealth of info. I'm new to prospecting but I am really into old maps and found a claim dating back to the 1840s in Southern Oregon and I obtained 40 acres this year. It's a placer mine which produced a lot of gold in the past so I'm hopeful to find gold there. If you are ever in the area and want a cool place to shoot a video at maybe we can collaborate. Thanks again for the great videos!
@@themeatcuttingacademy7613howdy fellow new miner, I to am here in SW Oregon and have been for 42yrs. There is plenty of the AU around here and if would like to learn more from this area hit me up. Best of luck and yeah Jeff Williams knows his stuff! Would love to see him out here one day😁
When I noticed you tubers reviewing gold paydirt offering to buy gold at full spot I figured there was profit there. Value your pm at 120% and sell 60% weight, good bread there. They should throw in an advertised heavy bag every so often, that helped my boutique ahh ..err.. flower business when I was younger.
Jeff, your knowledge is extremely helpful. Coming from someone with absolutely 0 experience in this field, I REALLY like how you break it down and keep expectations realistic. I know I said it on Patreon, but I can't wait for a mining tour. I would love to learn first hand and get some experience under my belt from someone who clearly knows what they're doing.
Making a claim in Australia is much harder you have to prove that you're going to work the ground yourself so that might be like a hundred thousand dollar project to make a claim
I am glad I live where you live Jeff. I have seen several of your videos out in places I go wheeling, camping, and shooting during the spring, winter, and fall. I have to get together some of the beginner stuff I need to learn to scratch gold out of the dirt in the Southwest area of Nevada/Arizona that I live.
It's great that you are discussing/teaching the business side of small scale mining. So much good information packed into a single video! Ironically I'm taking a break from editing a video of you and Tony. 🙂 Keep up all the great videos. Not sure how you are doing it, but you are packing the channel with golden goodness.
Here in N.Y. its extremely hard to make a passive income.. I been at it over here for ever.. Im still looking and just recently stumbled onto a skarn deposit.. I have to go back when God allows. My 85 year old mom & her 3 tiny dogs moved in and its been hard to do anything. Between doctors appointments & work I have had no time. And the motor in my work just just pooped the bed on me.. Im stuck in the mud.. I feel like something is keeping me from getting into the mountains.. Its like the universe doesn't want me to find something yet.. Life has been challenging lately.. This was supposed to be the year where I find the biggest ever!! I pray 🙏 God is all I got💯
Prospecting a dry creek, made it upstream to a confluence of two smaller creeks, sampling until September, then mining till May. It's about .1 g per bucket constantly, about a foot down till I hit clay. Tried digging past clay and it's dg. Lots of hematite and it's on a volcanic fault. Fun places can't wait to pinpoint it❤
Well Jeff, your hands down the best source of information on gold mining I can find… and I been subscribed for a few years now…. But , I’ve decided to give this a shot, a hobby of course, but a serious one as far as I’m concerned… so I’m sucking up everything I can from you.. thank you!!! And happy to notify you, you are the first content creator im signing on for patreon membership… my thanks
Hello Jeff, Great vids!! What site do I use to find open available land for mineral entry? You also talked about patented and unpatented. Patented sounds much better, but its sounds unavailable? Is it? And if its claimable , I assume the fee would be 30 times higher? Can anyone with the correct papers( what paper would that be?) just walk onto an unpatented claim and start prospecting right where a miner is working? Can I file for both...Hard Rock and Placer on the same claim? Pros and cons on that? Did some research on Gold Monster 1000 and Gold Bug 2. Is gold monster better for a beginner? Thanks for everything!! I'm motivated to learn thanks to you!
Hi jeff, I watched this again before I asked this question. Buying expired claims, is there any data on how productive the claims are? Say you wanted to buy any claims from a hotspot that is very claimed up. Do you just go by general data from minedat? I would want to grab the most productive claims and just watch carefully sep1 thanks bruce
So now we know that you make a minimum of 50k a month since that’s what you do day and night, you must be raking in at least 250k a month!!! Holy 🐄. Good for you jeff. Continuamos.
Adds for prospecting day. X-amount per person for the day to mine. Hold it as a event. Then have them sign a waver for safety and never to return with the date listed for access.
Hi Jeff your videos contain useful information and love your enthusiasm 9:38 you mention a company that extracts gold from your concentrates Could I please get more information on this.
I like your attitude, you know what your talking about. Me i like watching people do what your doing, among others. 72 yrs young. body way out of shape, and a mind that a psychologist could love.
Great info listed here! Thank you for your insightful and detailed information. This is an aspect most people don't even consider nor realize the potential that a small investment can have for them.
Another great video with a wealth of great information, Jeff! I am happy for our friend Chris Ralph and all his hard work to get there. I am looking forward to you joining our friends over at Prospectors Radio tonight. Thank you, Jeff and Lila for all your hard work. I hope to meet you two one day in the Gold Fields!!! So Come On, Let's Go!!!!
@@Askjeffwilliams Yeah Fistful of Gold is a great book, I recommend it to fellow prospectors all the time. I was told it was for personal reasons and that's all I need to know my friend, I will be there next week though for sure.
Jeff can you please make a video about finding gold at a hydrolic mine! Pretty please! I'd love to hear you talk about how in detail they did it and then for today's prospectors to find gold at those locations
Hey Jeff question there is an outfit called Gold Mine Adventures that buy L-208 gold mines and lease them out pretty cheap 100 bucks a month would you say that it would be a good thing to lease
@@Askjeffwilliams copy that it's a long way from here 500 miles have to wait on cool weather and go camp out for a couple weeks and sample as well as try the OKM 3d detector to see if there is anything of interest by either method I did figure out how to get the coordinates off of The Diggings so come fall I will make that journey Jeff thanks for all you do for us novice prospectors
Sounds like a nifty plan but the extent of my 'prospecting' is...scrapping. I'm a small scale metal peddler and I pick it up wherever I go...parking lots, alleys, along the road side, dumpsters etc. Sometimes people just give it to me if they're cleaning out their garage or basement. Being a custodian I find it in the garbage all the time in some form or other...copper, brass, aluminum, stainless and mild steel...it's literally everywhere so I figure, it's not work just picking it up and tossing it into the correct bucket. Some of it I have to tear down but again, not work to me as I've refined my method so well it's more like a meditation...I'm actually thinking about other things when I'm doing it lol. When I sell it to the scrap yard, I can put that money toward gold or silver bullion...why not? I also metal detect...gold and silver do show up once in a while as rings and coins and the remaining 'trash' is scrapped out. If I lived out in Nevada or Arizona etc., I'd probably exclusively detect and gold prospect though. There is small amounts of glacial gold here but I'm not overly interested in sweating over it.
Hey Jeff! I really enjoyed your video. My idea would be to find out about slag from deserted mines, (like silver). Can you tell me which slag is considered valuable? I am fascinated by metallurgy. How about tin, or less valuable metals like lead? I hope my ideas may interest you. I once met an opal miner who had experienced, and was injured in an explosion. He carried with him the biggest, most beautiful opal I have ever seen.
Jeff how do I find Black Sand buyers? I have a bunch of Black Sand with different precious metals in it. Most of the gold is removed except for the flour gold.
Thanks Jeff, your energy alone is an inspiration, you're a good salesman, I don't mean that in a negative way....Where are you ? Looks like either New York or Boston.
@tmillerauminer1 did for awhile Tom. Suppose to be videos on UA-cam of the smelts I did. Problem is it is way out there. Through sand and dunes. Hammer down and don't stop or slow down for nothing till you're almost there.:-)
I've got a question that's been banging around my head for the last few months. Now I've found an old claim that someone mined and left a bunch of stainless pipe and broken down machinery, that could be brought back to life and other mine related materials. Being that they let the claim go and its up for grabs, what do I do about all the stuff? Is it legally mine? And would I be able to use the cleanup of the stuff as my yearly fee?
I was digging around years ago and found something it was heavy in my pan and moved like mud and it looked brassy colored is gold always yellow I was digging in some gravel
Question so if someone has an ACTIVE placer claim on private Parceled out land with an APN that has been assigned for over 60 years and I own said land/propert parcel that means they have LEGAL rights to come on MY property to pan it? I'm noticing ALOT of properties in my neighborhood houses built etc owned and yet theres a guy with a 20 acre placer gold claim on the whole neighborhood! BEWARE before buying ANY property
Jeff! I would love for you to do a video in my area of the motherlode. Sonora/jamestown/columbia area! ive been watching all of your videos. Ive found quite a bit of placer gold up here in some of these creeks.

I like to watch live up on the Fraser River in the summer, Arizona in the winter
Hi jeff,
I watched this again before I asked this question. Buying expired claims, is there any data on how productive the claims are?
Say you wanted to buy any claims from a hotspot that is very claimed up. Do you just go by general data from minedat?
I would want to grab the most productive claims and just watch carefully sep1

Jeff my question is do you have to pay by the year or one time?
you have to pay for claims every year on Sept 1st
@Askjeffwilliams ok thank you
Adds for prospecting day. X-amount per person for the day to mine. Hold it as a event. Then have them sign a waver for safety and never to return with the date listed for access.

I have property up in the berdoo canyon in Indio, CA. How would I find out if there is gold on those canyons?
check USGS reports on the area , check for hard rock mines and sample

How about tin, or less valuable metals like lead? I hope my ideas may interest you. I once met an opal miner who had experienced, and was injured in an explosion. He carried with him the biggest, most beautiful opal I have ever seen.
Claim jumping is a felony,😊
Ahhh, my sunday jeff instalment. Thanks jeff. Your the best m8.
you betcha my brother
Oh,Im in socal near Ramona and San Diego
Jeff how do I find Black Sand buyers?
I have a bunch of Black Sand with different precious metals in it.
Most of the gold is removed except for the flour gold.
you are gonna have to Google that my brother to get the best price
What about taxes? Do you only have to pay them when you sell your gold?
you pay taxes on taxes
Thanks Jeff, your energy alone is an inspiration, you're a good salesman, I don't mean that in a negative way....Where are you ? Looks like either New York or Boston.
yep ...New York
I know where there's high grade gold, manganese, copper deposits that border copper, barite deposits. Interesting area.
So are you mining it?
@tmillerauminer1 did for awhile Tom. Suppose to be videos on UA-cam of the smelts I did. Problem is it is way out there. Through sand and dunes. Hammer down and don't stop or slow down for nothing till you're almost there.:-)
I've got a question that's been banging around my head for the last few months. Now I've found an old claim that someone mined and left a bunch of stainless pipe and broken down machinery, that could be brought back to life and other mine related materials. Being that they let the claim go and its up for grabs, what do I do about all the stuff? Is it legally mine? And would I be able to use the cleanup of the stuff as my yearly fee?
yes
Would live to see you in southern Oregon one day! We're loaded up here with AU and i know you'd enjoy every minute up here!👍😁
That would be cool!
Mine dumps. Do we need to file a claim if the dump is on USFS land?
yes
Morning Jeff..👊.. thanks for the share! ⛏⚒⛏
Good Morning
I was digging around years ago and found something it was heavy in my pan and moved like mud and it looked brassy colored is gold always yellow I was digging in some gravel
Gold can be different colors based off of alloys in it
Question so if someone has an ACTIVE placer claim on private Parceled out land with an APN that has been assigned for over 60 years and I own said land/propert parcel that means they have LEGAL rights to come on MY property to pan it? I'm noticing ALOT of properties in my neighborhood houses built etc owned and yet theres a guy with a 20 acre placer gold claim on the whole neighborhood! BEWARE before buying ANY property
great question , would assume that's a patented claim on your property..... it would come down to mineral rights and who had deed to the land first
my first question to Jeff is "what are you doin in New YORK CITY!?!?!"
getting some Pace picante salsa
I should look into that passive dividend fund. Would go great with reits
Jeff! I would love for you to do a video in my area of the motherlode. Sonora/jamestown/columbia area! ive been watching all of your videos. Ive found quite a bit of placer gold up here in some of these creeks.
Thanks Jeff for all of the good info
you betcha
9:42 best way to get more gold is to claim jump, or know Slim. Without one or the other your chances of finding gold are slim..
hahhhahaha
Jeff how do I get in touch with you?
Hey I been looking for you.
