  • Gold in a gold mine? You don't say! Well today Jason and I are testing the gold bearing ore to see how much gold is "free milled" visible and able to be recovered directly from crushing the ore and how much is "Locked Up" stuck in with the Pyrite and needs to be smelted to recover. But realy doing this test is just an excuse to hang out with Jasoon from @mbmmllc and have some fun.

Beautiful scenery...good company...I'm so happy you make these adventures available to us who can't get out and do this stuff! So interesting too...very educational. Say hello to Bellingham for me...I lived up in Birch Bay for 12+ years. I sure miss that area....So beautiful! We had an eagle arie in our backyard...I miss hearing them chortle in the spring. Now I have buzzards in Michigan....but I tell myself they're just eagles with alopecia! Lol!!

    I just love watching your collaboration with Jason of MBMM. I have a buddy who got his prospecting license in Ontario, and he had a small silver/gold claim right here in Eastern Ontario. We may do a bit of prospecting just for fun this summer. But you west-coasters are so lucky in this regard--there's just more/easier gold out there....

    I've lived in this house for over 20 years and about 2 months ago realized there are 2 illegal gold 'mines' about 100 meters from my front door.
    I had always wondered what all those box shaped digs are around here. Turns out to be some sort of Surface Mineral Classification from the 1900's.
    Well, this old river bank/bar beside us apparently is flush with gold. Old rocks that crumble in your hands and have lines of flakes beside them.
    Speaking of which I am off to get some more material to crush and then it's blue balls...oops I mean Blue Bowls all day long. :D

    Back in the 40's my father went into a cave with 2 of his brothers. they got lost in the cave, and the lights they brought went out. hours later, one found a light, and the smallest one could crawl out. They never knew how close they came to death.

I am sure I am not the only one looking forward to seeing how you did with the haul from the video. Thanks Dan!

    Hey Dan, I'm fascinated with your channel. I could watch it for hours. I prospected enough gold to build my wedding band set. I hand made it entirely by hand. I commented on your sapphire video that I have dug diamonds in Arkansas and proposed to my wife with a stunning diamond I found. I would like to get back into gold. I started a Lake Superior agate channel, which is my favorite rockhounding avenue. But gold prospecting is what I would like to do when my kids get bigger. Super awesome channel.
