  • Join us on this adventure that takes us to the top of the highest mountain around, Apex Mountain. On the top of this mountain we recently acquired new ground that includes not 1 but 3 historic Gold Mines. After the pleasant surprise of being able to get into this remote spot, we discover the mines are far more than we expected, with amazing looking ore, and lots of it.

    Dan, You are a Beautiful Human Being! As a kid, we covered every old gold mine between Baker City, Sumpter and Prairie City Oregon. Now I am a retired Neuroscientist. I wish I could come up and whack rocks with you for a few days. Thank you! for taking me back to my treasured times with My Dad! I miss him dearly. Respect!

    Love your channel, Dan! ...yep, you can find gold on the top of a mountain! I found a red rusty pile of clay and gravel that got dumped into the middle of a dirt road to block it. I scooped up a bucket of the stuff and found actual pickers in it, along with the tiny chunks and the usual dust. The guys on the road crew didn't know what they were dumping! It was in a gold bearing part of Maine, USA. It's true, gold's where you find it.
