  • Historic Documents point towards some significant gold at Cerro Gordo. After doing some research and finding some clues, Jason, Brent and I set off to see if we can find any evidence of the MASSIVE amount of gold they supposedly found back in the day at Cerro Gordo.

  • @mbraden66
    @mbraden66 4 місяці тому

    When you say, look for any gold that made it to the top, there are a couple of ways gold can make it to the top. 1. Geologically, pushed up by geothermal activity (I am a layman so it may be called something else). 2. Weather, when the the ground stopped moving up, the weather wore it down exposing gold bearing rock. 3. Human activity, old miners digging and mining for gold could have left some gold in their tailings or discard.
    Am I close? I'm trying to learn from you guys. I'm am going to see if I can open a claim in WA state, just a river claim, and a small operation, not looking to rip up trees and all that. I will look for ancient river runs, if I can find them, and do some sampling then figure out what to do from there.

    Quick question here.
    If you have a pan with crushed material in it that still has gold in it as well as crushed that doesn’t have gold in it. Will the parts that have gold in it get to the bottom of the pan while the other stuff stays on the top ?
    Im not sure my question makes sense… if not then too bad 😂😅
