O dang, sunny Jim, am thinking for me I would have been a farmer....Gessssssss.....Great job on the Narration, good speaking voice.....Jeff, this has to be one of your BEST, videos yet......Good job old son..........................JB............
Hi Jeff, I hope you are feeling better. I really do enjoy your videos. My uncle was a geologist and professor at San Jose State. He had kinda a funny view about time. He would say something about 'those hills are really recent, only about 5 million years old'. When my aunt asked him when he was going to get a certain task done, he would reply - real soon now! This left her somewhat perplexed about whether it would be done in her lifetime.
I missed that you were in the hospital. I'm very glad you're getting well, apparently, fast. Thanks for putting up this movie about the Comstock mine history.
Good Video Jeff, thanks... I remember the movie Buster Scruggs, and the old miner part. I thought the actor was Nick Nolte, but learned later is was not...
thank you for sharing your time and knowledge. In my humble opinion you are THE historian, professor and patron of everything mining because of your willingness to put yourself out there in the public light instead of quietly becoming a financially successful man. I am a disabled veteran that had become a recluse. Your energy and your understandable information has gotten me out of my hole and into holes I'm digging to be part of the search team. Thank you.
Jeff please tell me realistically that there are more 3 billion dollar pockets out here that haven't been discovered yet. What an amazing history and educational video. Hope you are feeling better Jeff. You are appreciated ❤
I really appreciate the composition of your vids, the brief recap after the commercial makes it easier to follow, and i dont have to back it up 10 seconds. Really Pro Presentation!
Nice one Jeff. You have a unique YT channel. Great history lesson. It's all about the rocks, the people, their families, and this great nation. Keep up the good work.
Very instructional on the comstock. You ever go visit Cero Gordo? I know it's in California but be something interesting to see. Maybe you can go down in the mines and check it out
I sure am glad you are okay Jeff, life has a lot of blind turns bud, I’m just glad you were able to get the little heads up you needed to deal with that appendix before it could have been worse, with all the work you do, can you imagine if it would have burst during one of your deep mine excursions, just glad it waited on you bud, so let’s go! Ewww, “My name is Jeff!” Glad to see you back on that saddle boss!
Glad to see you're on the mend. I'm sure you'll be huffing and puffing when you get back at it after sitting on the couch eating chips and such 😂. Thanks for the video!
Mr Williams, youve had top notch production quality ever since the beginning, but in recent months youre really outdoing yourself. Really impressive video
Hello Jeff OMG I didn't know you went under the knife been busy on the farm and finally got done .Man I hope your getting better and back to normal lol well your normal 😂. Take care buddy don't overdo it nice and slow no jumping ouch 🤕 Ya getting warm here in AZ 118 to 120 in a few days remember that's in the shade Time to get the tribal tan on . Thanks for the blast from the back rouge and tough miner's to survive those conditions 🥵 Always enjoy learning about the mining history very interesting . 👍🏾🌵😎
@Askjeffwilliams I expected a bit more of a reply but I suspect you're still a bit sore. I loved the video and have learned many things from you. You're always one step ahead! There will never be another Jeff Williams!
@@WheelieShinyGold We have a lot of info on that and it would be a small book but we can make a video on what we have seen on the cire drilling that has been done there and where the blind lodes are hiding
So glad your feeling alit better...just don't overdue it too soon..and make sure you hydrate well...love your shows...its like an adventure from home watching you....and it's way better than most TV shows now a days....thanks for thrill of doing what a lot of us dreamed of doing when we were younger but was told " don't be going in there " or stay away from that you'll get hurt"...lol...may have been right...but...still would've like to explore...id love to ge jstt a little of your adventure in my hands to go thru and experience! Continue to have fun but Be Safe!
Great to see you're on the mend Jeff! I've been up around the Comstock , took a couple mine tours and caught the tourist stuff, that was 20 plus years ago. The talk about the Moines and miners was great thanks fer sharin'! So c'mon let's go....
Howdy Jeff, Loved the presentation on Virginia City. Wow what a tough life. Don't you worry or push getting back to the drift mine. Heal up and get fully mended. That gold is not going anywhere unless those big old worms eat it. Keep up the good work and my best to you and yours. ⛏⛏
@@Askjeffwilliams that was serious. I had my Uvula removed two months ago due to choking and not breathing some mornings. I asked my surgeon to do surgery under a local in his practice. I was the first patient he had do this procedure outside hospital. He's soon to retire a well known loved surgeon a true professional but also a humanitarian. So it looks like smiles all around. Mine was a success also. Cheers 👍
A very asternomical discovery of gold. Thank u and Lila for so much valuable information on this subject. I do every thing u say but I don’t see any bag of gold in my hands, hehe. 😂😂😂 I love the narrating of the Virginia city comstock, so much rich history in gold country 😊
About 1100 years ago, 2 Chinese monks finally figured out how to turn lead into gold. They invented a crude form of black gun powder, hence ,the revolver!
Jeff I'm so glad your feeling better. I look up to you. I have learned so much from you. So thank you. Keep living the live and enjoying your family. By the way I really miss slim
Jeff , ilove the history and i faithfully have watched all of your videos over and over , i need to get that shiney ! i am a patron now ( 10 .00) soon i hope to up that. i am trying to in time start my own drift mine , here in Yuma its a slow go , too hot . Jeff thank you for these videos , iwould never make it without you Thank you
C'mon Jeff, take er easy for a few more days! God willin' you'll be doin great real soon! Thanks for showing us around the underworld, where the Gold and Silver are found.
Glad your feeling better. Im heading out Thursday to my claims in norther Idaho up by Elk city. Going to do some dredging and sluicing. I'll be there until the first. If you get bored and want to join us you and your wife are welcome any time. Keep up the good work.
Always a pleasure to see you put another great video out Jeff. And an even better reason to watch is seeing how well you are recovering from the appendix operation. You really are a "hard rock" miner Buddy.
Hey Jeff. Long time. Didn't know you were in the hospital. Sorry to hear that. I am glad you are feeling better. 👍 I have been watching another source, but no one gives a better geology lesson than you. My problem is remembering it all! I liked the history Mr. Pocket talked about. It filled in some gaps and clarified some things for me. Thanks. Stay well.
Joanne , can you imagine having access to the 1600 foot level and walking the Sutro through all the mines and seeing the massive pumps and square sets... truly awe inspiring
G'day Jeff, glad to see that you are doing so much better, even nature can't keep a good man down❤ . I just got out of hospital myself, not as bad as it was for you but had a triple hernia repair that had complications. Seeing you sitting in front of all those bags has me envious all over again and am wondering if you'll ever stock the website back up with Slim's paydirt. I just looked through my photos and the last bag of slims I panned out was back in 2016. How are Nevada Jack and Slim going, haven't seen them for a while, hugs and love to the family
Thanks Jacgues..... wow ...a triple hernia ....ouch .... Nevada Jack is retired to parts unknown and Slim is taking a much needed rest ....hopefully we will see him again on video here soon ....thanks and you to
I hit the like button before I watch your videos cause I know I'm in for a treat. Another fantastic story, thank you very muchly. I see your recovery is going well & you'll be back in the mine getting all that shiny stuff. Well done matey
A man of many words.. You definitely are a smart fella Jeff.. Well hopefully 🤞 it’s getting cooler out there. Freezing 🥶cold here in South Australia 🇦🇺 Hopefully in a couple of weeks I will try to get a fist 🤛 full of AU Found this video very interesting.. felt sorry 😞 for all those miners who lost their lives.. The harsh reality of mining ⛏️ in those days and still now.. Thanks for sharing this. Say hi to Lila from me. Cheers Famo59..👍⛏️
TONY !!!!!!!! thanks my brother from another mother ..... no its getting hotter ... so we need to go underground ...... we want to see you get that monster Gold like we saw in some videos or a 5 ounce sun baker ..OH YEAH !!!!! they were tough as nails ...don't know how they could last as long as they did .....you betcha my brother and say hi to Wendy for us
Well jeff I found your channel back in the end of 2018 when the docs had me on no work lockdown. I figured it was a good time to become a premie and pay for some of that educational content. I have a non blast fart smeller idea for a caleachie breaker for the drift mine lol. get well soon
That segment of buster Scruggs with Tom Waits finding gold is my favorite..next to you finding gold
Jeff, not only are you an educator,you are an entertainer.Brilliant,thank you
thanks Tim
O dang, sunny Jim, am thinking for me I would have been a farmer....Gessssssss.....Great job on the Narration, good speaking voice.....Jeff, this has to be one of your BEST, videos yet......Good job old son..........................JB............

Where’s Slim haven’t seen him in a
while he’s been slacking off on the job.

Great history lessons in your videos. Love it! Glad your well and almost recovered. 👍
That darn appendix of mine almost killed me! Glad you didn't have to go thru that. Speedy Recovery JEFF!
Every so often we get rattled, the body's way of getting us to take better care of the machinery. Eh?
Every so often we get rattled, the body's way of getting us to take better care of the machinery. Eh?
We're glad you're OK. Goes to show that simply because something is considered a "young person's problem" doesn't mean it can't be a problem later.
Always learn a lot from your videos! Hope you are feeling better!

always our pleasure and thanks ....much appreciated for that
Great Prospecting Movie!
Thanks Jeff
Peace Prospector Tripp
This video is a real treat. The dangers were ever preset. Such a demanding and dangerous job, not to mention (you fill in the blank).
Great detailed history -thank you! Hydrothermal gold is the "holy grail" of all miners - so rich it defies any "normal" gold mine -
Forgot to add - good health to you sir! Much more gold to be prospected!
As my old buddy used to say, "Richer than two foot up a bull's ass" Rest in peace old man I miss ya.
Jeff please tell me realistically that there are more 3 billion dollar pockets out here that haven't been discovered yet.
What an amazing history and educational video.
Hope you are feeling better Jeff. You are appreciated ❤
yes there is and we know where one is right now ..... not far and is right off the side of the Hwy ....to many onlookers to mine it ....thanks
There are cities with houses and highways sitting on undiscovered deposits the likes of which we have never seen.
@@Askjeffwilliams So... wouldn't you... stake a claim on it, secure it, and then mine it?
What am I missing here?
I really appreciate the composition of your vids, the brief recap after the commercial makes it easier to follow, and i dont have to back it up 10 seconds. Really Pro Presentation!
thanks
That was a good story from the old timer. So come on LETS GO!
What a great way to start out the day with watching another one of your exciting video’s, keep up the good work Jeff. !
Glad to see you up and at it again, if only slightly! Keep healing and we all look forward to the next video
Hi Jeff, I thought I'd check in, say hi to Slim... always interesting and informative!
thanks
Love your videos Jeff. You do a great job of keeping it fun, exciting and informative. Stay well.
Nice one Jeff. You have a unique YT channel. Great history lesson. It's all about the rocks, the people, their families, and this great nation. Keep up the good work.
Well said!
I'm so glad you're back in circulation Jeff. It's good to see you again.

Awesome video, Jeff! The old pictures, mine maps and rock samples were incredible! Glad you're feeling better!
Thanks again!
Another Great Video Jeff ! Glad you’re on the mend !!
I sure am glad you are okay Jeff, life has a lot of blind turns bud, I’m just glad you were able to get the little heads up you needed to deal with that appendix before it could have been worse, with all the work you do, can you imagine if it would have burst during one of your deep mine excursions, just glad it waited on you bud, so let’s go! Ewww, “My name is Jeff!” Glad to see you back on that saddle boss!
