    Pretty cool! Them old timers knew where to go. I also think it was the same miners that were after the placer gold and then hard rock. Gold is gold, sometimes you have to switch up to get it! I've been mining both for around 45yrs. When you have it in the hand you will do anything to get more!

    I’m guessing that “chimney” was the smelter for the hard rock it’s to small to be a fire place those old tools definitely look like old drills for making dynamite holes. That mine shaft was excellent especially with the track still there hopefully you find something in some samples, cool crystals as well great all around tour of the claim 🤩thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

      I`m not a tech guru , I can not explain the difference other than. PI`s are better for gold that is deeper in the ground and some VLF`s are good at finding small or big shallow gold. All professionals usually haveone of each.
