If you want to find Gold , you have to go where it has already been found and in this video we give you guys some great examples of what to look for to find it in these old mining District whether its Hard Rock or Placer Gold. Along the way we have some really rare finds that we think you will love. Let us know you favorite Gold finding story by leaving it in the comments and for more vids on how to find Gold just watch this video ua-cam.com/video/7624DutE42o/v-deo.html and smash that like button HARD !!!
Yee haa, exactly the plan man! Got a coach and a 4×4 service truck to haul out your way, way out west from Florida. Have been watching you Jeff for many years, bought a mine in sw NM and lookin to head for one of your tours. Right now welding up a crane to lift hafe a ton of ore at a time. I figure the truck will haul out 2 tons at a time!
Thank you Jeff, you’re my favorite…your friend from Dayton, Nevada.
Jeff, I found a blue/gray clay outcrop with horizontal veins of rusty sandy decomposed quartz. Both the veins and the clay contain small amounts of fine coarse gold. What do you think about this?Thank you
@@knotsobrite5675 that sounds great ...keep us posted on that
@@SeedsOfFaith7 thanks
I’ve got a placer claim with prospect holes everywhere and 120 years of temperate rain forest covering them up. It’s an adventure trying to figure it out. Thanks Jeff!
Everytime I hear Jeff say a different word for a rock, I know he knows his stuff, awesome.
It’s called geology.
Great work with your show @Askjeffwilliams. My family lost our little brother 4 years ago, and then his twin suddenly Sunday morning as he passed in his sleep. We all have and still enjoy your show. The past nights we were finding solace watching the hard work and fun you do to bring the adventure to us. Two of us even tried panning for gold for the first time last night. Thank you and keep spreading the many forms of wealth that you do to all of us 💛
Got one of those cacti stuck to my sock. Thought it was a bug bite so, I swatted it!
It stuck my whole hand together like lightning going through my body.
Dropped me to my knees!
Love your content!
Just amazing work fam. Great times indeed. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
I'm heading out on my expedition today jeff! If I hit the jackpot you will be the 1st person who knows! If I do good today this will be my last season building fence!🙏🙏🙏⚒🏆🏅🏅
jeff you have been very helpful to me and my partner on our adventure to find gold over here in new zealand we had our best run ever using your tips and tricks we are very big fans love your work brother would love to check out your beautiful country one day cheers
A must for desert first aid kits is a 9" comb. They work a lot better than pliers when you meet up with an unruly Teddy Bear cholla.
Always Learning something new. Thanks Jeff.
Very good information on what to look for at old mining sites.
Didn't know much about those Teddy Cactus, but Porcupine Quills also have a hooked end, to remove them a bit easier you cut them with scissors and they straighten out a bit, wonder if that could be the same with those cacti quills? Learn something from all your videos Jeff regardless if it's mining or mother nature....I used to have alot friends, they were all jackass's! Lol! Keep it happening, always educational! ⚒️⛏️⚖️🤠
Some of the old arrastras in Central California had the rock floors pulled up after the ore was crushed. The entire area was swept up and washed, and processed through a sluice. If the claim quit yielding, after the last run they just left the pieces around the pit, maybe with the center post still in place. I recorded one south of Copperoplis that was left just like that. The flooring (?) rocks were polished to a gloss on the upper surface. We argued about whether the rocks needed to be rescued.
Sound effects killed me. 😂
I made banana bread and fried chicken so I was late. I know these videos get watched by good folks that don't know anything about gold. But. When you were at the arastas there is another way. And if you don't have idahos finest. A camas root works too. But I don't want someone trying this and getting mercury poisoning and I'd feel terrible. Oh and the biggest arastas I ever saw was a photo between Park City and Heber City is jordenelle reservoir it's at the bottom a certain group of good folks insist they were out there first. Forget Jim Bridger but they cannot let anyone know the Spanish were up there big time. I pointed that out to some good folks and said why is a cannon from Seville Spain in the statehouse. Capital rotundra. It's no longer there. Hummmm well I deliberately was vague about the alternative methods. ❤❤ Great video Jeff.
Love the WORK You do ❤🙏 Keep up the mine find.
THANK YOU GUYS..WX LOOKS SO GREAT ENJOY...
Hey Jeff, I think some of your buddy are looking for work, I didn't see the will work for food sign, but I'm sure they will.
Thank you, Mr. Jeff, & Lila, for always giving out great information on where to find GOLD!
Always great information! Thanx Jeff!!
I found the answer, first time watching you. Enjoyed information

You are so welcome
Thank you brother always amazing videos be safe out there 🙏
Very enjoyable video! Thanks for sharing 👍
you betcha Soule man
I learn something new on every one of your videos!
Ive lived in central az my whole life. Cholla is nothing to mess with. It will ruin your day, and your week.
Do they really life flight people who fall in one?
@@CFarnwide depending on the reaction your body has to it. The more burs the worse it is. It can cause illnesses, like fever, nausea and sweat. The spines or pricks can go through leather boots so when flesh is involved it can go all the way to bone and cause an infection which can be deadly. Definitely not fun anytime you have an interaction with cholla cactus.
@@FJB-HB-KH-libs I wasn’t thinking of allergic reactions. I now see how serious that could be 😳
Great video on methods of discovering the gold! Keep them coming Jeff!
🔥⚒️🇺🇲💯✌️🔥
Good morning Mr and Mrs Williams..great video sir
thank you jeff !
Excellent video Jeff
Jeff, you did that fella so dirty by adding those fart sounds to his journey into the stinky tunnel hahaha Love your videos and knowledge, sir. We greatly appreciate you and the misses.
Thanks for another great adventure love finding the shiny, even a little bit as we know every ounce counts, SO come on let's Go.
Yeehaw! Good morning Jeff and Lila! And of course Slim.
Oatman area by chance?
good morning
@@d.clemons5247 you know it brother
Thanks again
you betcha
I sure could use a gold monster for my travels hint hint . So come on let’s Go Jeff and Nurse
we give them away every month
I saw Drake in the video! Drake, thanks you for the help at the metal detecting event. You and your wife were amazing!
Arizona !!!!!! Home sweet home !
Cochise County for me 😊
@@torinbrown8196 Maricopa, for me.
You were way too close to that cholla, Jeff!! We call them Jumping Jack cacti, and I learned my lesson about them the hard way. And, yes, they had to remove the barbs with pliers! 😲 Good times. 😅
Good advice you gave today about free mill gold, Jeff! Always, always, stay away from sulfides as the main ore to mine, otherwise you will go broke fast as a small miner...
Good Stuff
I was up in the Turkey Creek district all day yesterday with my Garrett Ace 350...definitely need to get a better rig and a 4.5" coil because I found nothing but sunshine lol
G'Day Jeff, Thanks mate for another entertaining video. Cheers Kev 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Sunny Jim........So bro, hows your mine doing?....Snake people still there?.....Am Surprised to see water there..Kool......Hows life treating you?........Good to see you up and about....Looks like a great place for some drone shots.......Well back to work, thanks for the Video......................JB...
Jeff Williams is the only man dead or alive that can pan in a teacup of water lol
I love the difference in terminology between the USA and UK, what you call gobbing we call stacked deads.
Great brother, all the abandoned mines keep some Gold 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks to you I have learned your ways of research to locate quartz veins. The only problem is, the claims are all taken up by Freeport McMoran and Phelps dodge,
yep they have claimed up a lot of land
It’s all copper up here with gold and silver around.
BEAUTIFUL!!! NATURE!!! УДАЧИ!!!
11:27 Satisfactory!
More interesting facts nice presentation always like to see the donkeys that one looks like he could have been related to Walter thanks for the video
thanks
When they grind up the gold, I find those all the time in canyons where I have gold mines. The Spanish made these things. The canyon floods and has water falls so it fills up with water and looks like a puddle at a glance. But was carved into the ground and made to crush up the gold down the canyon near mouth of gorge. Where the mine is up hill and below the hill is a tunnel that goes into wash.
😂 yeah that mud puddle has got to be close to growing legs and walking away 😅 Thanks for sharing with us Jeff 🤠⛏️ God Bless 🙏
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
good morning SWM
"AU" let's go
Wow look at that old mill. You could have used anyghing to turn it. Including Conan The Barbarian. LOL🤣🤣
I lmao many times during this vid. Thanks for the knowledge and laughs Jeff!
you betcha
So. when you find a nugget or flake of gold in Quartz did it cone there in the finished nugget or did it grow in he. quartz?
AZ AU, got to be a joke in there somewhere! I'll get back to you 😊
Slim said if it s a Teddy bear,, you should give it a hug immediately 😂😮. As always very valuable advice on prospecting for that shiny nuggets😊
hahahhaha I know...right
Great Jeff....my 👖💥blew of haha...another pants for space yeah! Something for the UAP taskforce !👍greetings from the Netherlands 🎉
thanks ....I knew they would
💪🃏 "I Believe Because It Is Absurd"... SATISFACTORY!!!
and a super nice guy :) 🇨🇦
Good man want to help
if you ever do meet a carnivorous burro, you should probably run. 😀 Is is safe to fart in there? another great video!
Bzzz boom gold.
Hey Jeff, from Australia..we got more gold than all California... but..that's not why I'm commenting. I love the video and sound quality of your field videos. Looks like ( by the shadow) you're holding a kind of selfie stick. My question is, what type of camera and mic do you use? Paul
yes you do ..... we use a Go Pro 10 with mic cover
Good lord Jeff lay off that Trail Chili..
The latin translates to "I go because it's absurd". Which makes sense for all of us rockhounds and prospectors.
Are you out by mineral park?
Man! I have A LOT of abandoned mines around me, but ding dang it, can't find no leftover gold.
What am I doing wrong? 🤔
- with love from Pennsylvania 😅
Old mill like that in Italy they used for make extra virgin oil olive but years ago 😅
As a history buff I can’t help but shake my head when you hear historians say signs of human history back 14,000 years back couldn’t have been advanced.
Look at all this hard work that’s well on its way back to the earth after a couple hundred years.
you gotta be early as me to find gold at these old mines
I'd like to know more about who these miners were, where they came from, how they found out about the jobs, how they got supplies/food/water, what they did for entertainment, were their men only (no families), etc.?
Still in Colorado pal, someday I be back then I bet half a day with me and you not find gold, maybe for a long time😊 but I like to look at the pretty rock, be safe
Dude if I can find away to budget your patreon I’m gonna scrape up 10$
"so comon lets go " :)
How deep do you think you are in the caves diggin? In arizona. To get To The pay Dirt. Thanks,from phil.
40 feet
Great work with your youtube jeff.i recently came into possession of what i think is granite. With quartz veins running all through it. From a ravine below a steep hillside. At lynx lake near Prescott arizona. Id like to know your thoughts.if im on the right track. Thank you.
sample the contact zones
Thanks for your input jeff will do!
You mention gneiss a lot. I didn't know it was associated with gold. Could you point it out when you see it?
Jeff... I really need some help, I found a vain yesterday in the mountains where I live, There is so much gold, silver, I think maybe lead, should I take it in to have essaied or should I try smelting it on my own?
yes have it assayed
@@Askjeffwilliams Awesome, I will and lol sorry about my spelling!
I cut through some brittle bush and I didn't see a small cholla growing in it. Unbelievable pain and bleeding.
Jeff what happened at the Wagon Wheel mine? What was in that or
video on the way
That was one of your best videos man that was so exciting to see
Iron is the mother of gold.
Can' t wait to get wet! Taking a service truck, rock crusher, hammer mill, water pump, sluce box into a blue barrel then reculating. My mobile test station. Can't wait!
Best of luck to ya
@@SCW1060 The harder I work, the luckier I get.
No one ever said it was easy to strike the motherload huh?
Luv the Burro shittin' noises
How can I plan a trip with a group there?
just sign up
My brother, if you would be so kind, I would like to design a Shaker table so that I can design it. I live in Yemen and I cannot go to you... I loved your channel and I follow your ideas. You are a genius and you have all my thanks and appreciation... and I hope to meet you.
adamım harikasın.....
Is that castle mountain mine?
no ..Moss mine
Jeff you were making me nervous standing that close to that cholla
That donkey is probably a descendant of the donkeys they were using to mine, reminds me of Oatman, you can buy carrots to feed them.
Luv me some cholla😢
Yeehaw! 🚫👖🤠
Jeff just how much are you pay dirt bags please leave me a note where to get some sort ordering address thank you like your show.geat content.your full of energy.
