    This is one of a handful of techniques we like to use when out in the placer fields for location the source ( lode deposit ) of where it came from. If the deposit still exists and is exposed then finding the source is the ultimate goal for finding that Shiney . If you want to see more techniques then just watch this video ua-cam.com/video/JV9IadXyuN4/v-deo.html and smash that like button ...smash it HARD !!!!

      You know they didnt get all the gold out. They couldn't did all the vein structures up that held gold. So they picked the one they figured had the most gold. They were pretty crafty but they could and did miss very rich viens. Not everyone could afford core samples back in the day. Geologist were not always around. They couldnt have found all the gold. You know it and i know it. Plus time and erosion would exose veins the couldnt see

      Looking forward to meeting you in person for showing you how I have reverse engineered the physics involved in dowsing with the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, which is the only dowsing rod that precisely gauges all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition, and most important is grading of the dowsed element that is contained in the elemental mass that is being dowsed. I will show you how to dowse the placer and lode gold deposits with easy and precise gauging of everything about the dowsed element, by pitting the energy of gravity against the energizing of the pure one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load, that is attached on the elevated acetylene welding rod, which is free spinning on ball bearings. Then, together we will be able to do "Lets Go" a lot better with more gold found than we can handle, and unfortunately a lot of the gold dowsed we can't have because it is somebody else who owns the gold. I hope you are safe and healthy while having a good day.

    Question. Does caliche mean that all that area was once a sea bed?

    • @Askjeffwilliams
      @Askjeffwilliams  4 місяці тому

      no ... it just means there is calcium carbonate in the soil and over time with moisture it creates a concrete type of material the binds the other conglomerate, clays and sand together

      calcium Carbonate in the soil and in arid regions it cements the alluvial gravels, sands and clays together like concrete

    Did the oldtimers sometimes prospect places and then forgot where it was? Like you find a place that was rich of gold and was prospected but never mined?

      Yes. The funny thing is, those lost prospects get richer and richer over the years.
