To find high grade Epithermal Gold deposits you must look for the right geological settings and in this video we give you some great examples of the specific geology to look for when out hunting for this type of gold. This is 1 out of 12 well-characterized Gold deposit types. Paleo placer, Orogenic (Mesothermal), Porphyry, Epithermal (Bonanza Type), Carlin, Placer, Reduced Intrusion related, Greenstone Hosted, Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS), Skarn, Carbonate replacement, and Iron Oxide-Copper-Gold (IOCG). For more vids on using Geology to find Gold watch this video ua-cam.com/video/7624DutE42o/v-deo.html and smash that like button...SMAS it HARD !
Another great lesson Jeff thanks TANK
Fantastic information professor I'd like to see the classes progress bet it's golden
A lesson with Jeff and Lila. Recess with SLIM😂
@@Askjeffwilliams hey Jeff it’s me Timmy Norfolk my iPad with all of my information including your patroon site is broken
At 5:17 I zoomed-in but couldn’t see any fuzzy rats 🐀. How’d ya know they were there Jeff? Was there lots of poop and you could see their burrows or homes?! That’s a real question bc I’m curious 😃
Still amazes me that you don't have several million subscribers, Jeff. Always a great learning experience.
It’s Ok to keep this a secret!
I know...right
It’s because he’s teaching technical information, hard work and perseverance.
Basically four letter words anymore. Lol
Wow I was sure he was at least half a mil
Most over night success stories are really 20 year long stories.
Jeff has one of the best prospecting and geology channels I’ve seen.
The first person who got me to purchase and crack open geology books is Jeff Williams.
After a couple of years I am able to visualize what Jeff is describing. I couldn't imagine how much more id know if i were in the field and getting hands on experience with him.
The ultimate teachers are the ones who make learning entertaining. Jeff your worth a million times your weight in gold. Thank you for all the time you spend on teaching us mineralogy geology and history. And Lila for capturing every class for reviewing. The real wealth of mankind is education and Jeffs contribution is the motherload.
thats what we love to hear ..... really appreciate that my brother ...always our pleasure
Seems like everybody's jacked up on something today

whew. I need a coffee and will need to replay this puppy. ABsolutely the best video I think you've done to date/ So much information Jeff. Thank you to you and your wonderful wife.
Yeah... Lots of good info!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My favorite content creator, TY Jeff!
He is able to teach a professor.
He is amazing.
@@christianmittasch8972 thanks
Coffee and my favorite geologist.
Just wanted to say, Uncle Jeff, you got me into gold prospecting! I’m not in a known gold bearing district, but about 40 miles from one. Using geologic maps, I found a creek near me that looked like it had a slight chance of having placer gold. I test panned like you taught me and eventually found a pay streak in a gravel bar! Gold has never been documented in this county before, which makes it doubly cool!
That is awesome! thats what its all about my brother ...Finding Gold where no one knows about it ..... keep at it and keep us posted
Yeehaw! Good morning Jeff&Lila and Slim of course! My favorite certified geologist!
thanks
You earned it brother.
Thank you, Jeff & Lila! Always great information on where to find that shiny stuff!
Loving the educational focus Jeff, you are world-class at teaching geology! Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Thanks!
thank You
My bucket list before I kick the bucket is to dig with you. I learned more from you than any other miner out there.
we host 3 day digs if you want to sign up for one www.patreon.com/askJeffWilliams
Thanks again Jeff! I always look forward to when u drop another video. Makes me wish I studied geology more in college
you betcha
First video of Jeff's i ever saw many years ago he was doing a brake job you sure have created something wonderful since your humble beginnings you took me from knowing very little to staking 2 claims of my own that i now successfully mine on a small scale it is my life now thank you so much couldn't have done it without you.
Thanks 👍 really appreciate that and we are so glad we could help you do that
Loads of great info fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
thanks GSP
Thanks Jeff, Always good information and tutorials, yeah so I found my epithermal quartz vein under 3 feet of granite, it was completely hidden and is virgin, never touched. The old-timers and later day prospectors walked right over the top of it ! Darrell Lane
keep us posited on that and sample it
You my friend, are a walking treasure chest of info! ♥
thanks
Really liking that soundtrack you're using at the end of the video. Just feels right with the desert landscape shot for some reason. Thanks for all the sharing, Jeff.
always our pleasure
Jiff, blown away about your knowledge of the names of the rocks and all. Would never guessed that in a million years. Once again thank you for your videos. Your videos are educational and fun to watch.
always our pleasure my brother
Hey Jeff, saw a 1903 Geology map of Nova Scotia, Canada, most of the a rock is an old worn down volcanic mt range! over 2300 old mines, lots of quarts veins!! Great Video!
Thanks again Jeff and Lila! Great video👍🏼
you betcha
As always. Invaluable lessons. I say it every time you post a video. I wish I had these videos in the 90s. ❤

...but I learned something, which is always nice. Thx Jeff!
you betcha
My favourite way to start Sunday with a great gold video thanks mate
👍 loving your style Jeff 👍
thanks
Thanks for this. It will make my walkabouts a lot more interesting.
I love watching these videos because you teach so much about the rocks and minerals and how they form together. Thank you
Glad you like them!
Jeff you're the man. I recently learned about the Coudersport Ice Mine, that might be a fun one to visit for something different!
Absolutely stunning vent. Great video
es un hermoso deposito de oro excelente aventura amigo gracias por compartir tu video
Mucha Gracias
Thank you Jeff, learning a lot, you talk about all theise rocks and I wish I could see then then I can identify them, thanks again

thats what we love to hear
Man, you sure do make a darn good case for supporting you on patreon, lol.
The information alone is priceless and I will strive learn it better.
Thank you ✨✊✨
thanks
Love seeing what part of the vein you would work and sample from. So now let’s gooo
Jeff amazingly smart you are !!! 👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽Alian Smart !!! 🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸
thanks
Awesome! Thanks Jeff ❤
My pleasure!!
Mr. Knowledgeable 👍👍
Thanks for the great geology teachings...few can speak like you ;] love the channel, cheers
thanks , much appreciated
Great video ! We had lots of vugs in our lode mine. You could see the gold embedded in it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. As always, we smashed that LIKE button !! Best of luck out there. Stay cool !
thanks my brother from another mother ....... nothing better than seeing that Yellow goodness in a vug .....always my pleasure ...YEAH SMASH it HARD ...will do
Jeff is Certified and a Geologist!
Professor Jeff Williams !!! 🩵🩵🩵
Love, love, love, the classroom type lessons!
You know the subject, and explain the process of geographical elimination for mineral deposits, and what to look for, but a few photos of the deposits as you speak about them, would be helpful, instead of just naming them!
I know you have a lot to do, but checking all your vids, is daunting, when chasing terms in them! 😉😂
we are working on getting that for the next vid
@@Askjeffwilliams,thank you brother!
My wife curses Jeff Williams 😠 because everytime I go bush walking now I come back with samples of rocks to put on the kitchen window. Next life I'm gonna be a Geologist!
you may find the Mother Lode so keep at it
Love that video !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Another commenter noted the best thing abiut rhesevideos and the mass of information they contain, I can watch as many times as necessary and even take notes to set the data firmly in my memory! Thank you Jeff and everyone, you are education and entertainment, with the excitement of gold as a driver! And, I don't even get wet!! 😂
God bless you and keep you safe!
we love to hear that Richard
Another good one Professor.
Thanks again!
Thank you 🫡🫡🫡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
you betcha
mtn of "AU",,,,, let's go👍
Psstt. Hey Jeff, you had a UFO come into view on the left side of the screen at 1:47 and vanish into thin air at 1:52. I hear they can just beam the gold up from underground with their transporters. But they're following you around too you show them where it is.
we saw that too and yes they are .... 😁
another great video , thank you sir
you betcha
SO Come On!!.......LETS GO!!
Another great video
Thx for the great content and info Jeff!
⛏⛏⛏🇺🇲
you betcha
Good morning Jeff.
Good Morning
My favorite person doing his favorite thing haha xoxo love the show show tell slim gold its the same thing same money thank you
thanks Mike
Also, have you ever considered taking people out to find gold as a guide? That would be an awesome trip for me, I live in Missouri!!
yes we host 3 day Gold Mining Adventure tours all the time.. just sign up if you want to go www.patreon.com/askJeffWilliams
Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
good evening SWM
Another great video
The gold district near me is getting burnt up by a wildfire right now
sorry to hear that ....
💥...there goes my pants Jeff and Lila....this 👖are glued and stuck on that UAP that fell into the Ocean ....is now a USO!🛸...Jeff great geology lessons are awesome and somehow i learn from you😂🎉greetings from the Netherlands 🥳🇳🇱
hahhahahaha another orbital pair of denim .... next time just go commando hahahhaa
I saw the xenolith ⛏️🤠Great information Jeff. Thank you for sharing with us 🙏 God Bless. Iv been taking a lot of good samples lately for crushing. Put it in the soup 🍲
That is awesome!
This is the cheapest way to learn just one part of the earth science field of study. And, I know I'm speaking for many, we eternally thank you for that information.
You are very welcome my friend!
So the gold bug for the wìn!
OH YEAH !!!!!
I would love to see the look on Lila's face after you rattle off a few minutes of geology speak to her. Another good lesson today, Jeff!😂
she loves it ...in fact that's why she married me ...I told her I wanted to make her mine ( for Gold ) hahhahahahaa
@@Askjeffwilliams hahaha
Morning Jeff, Having my mud & absorbing as much as my prehistoric brain can get...Lol! ⛏️⚒️⚖️💪🤙🤠
At 01:51 - 01:53 Jeff captured a UFO on film
Jeff you don’t have to worry about a brain freeze in the desert 🌵. Thank you both for a great rock lesson again.!!YOU TWO ROCK😊
hahahahahahaha
I always learn load's from watching you but it's hard to remember most of it 😂👍❤️💛💚
Yea
Don't forget the "AU" 🤙
@@Paulftate can't forget about the gold. I'm constantly looking at my quarter ounce nugget on my picture 👍 cheers ❤️💛💚
Soooo much to learn...! Do you think that those mines are past played out... ? Orrrr with the knowledge and technology that we have today that there is more gold to be pulled out? To bad Indiana doesn't have the mines like out west...
some of the mines still have a lot of Gold in them because they were shut down for WW2
To be able to take leave of watching politics and enjoy a great trip with Jeff or Wonder Hussy is a blessing from The Almighty. Thanks Jeff for my sanity I often thik depends on it!❤❤
you betcha ....always our pleasure
Did not see enough of the SuperModel who hangs out with ya, Jeff. XD
next vid
Well I don’t have the fever, (yet). 😂
Bug I’m slowly getting the basics together, definitely looking forward to getting out and doing some prospecting.
All thanks to you Jeff and one or two aussies here have me cramming as much information as I can.
Definitely planning a trip to see the action up close over there too.
keep watching my brother ...you will.....
@@Askjeffwilliams expecting it will happen when I find my first bonanza 😂😂😂
I never thought Wulfenite look like gold even in my pan since it sparkled like a crustal but that's me. It is Arizona’s official state mineral
Any room for discussion on a Kinross Nevada size prospect ever?
You know that when you don’t find gold in an area where the MSDS said you should you can tell they really did the research😂😊

Hi, my name is Rick. I'm a certified couch chair geologist. Eat more chips while hunting for gold. Follow Jeff everywhere. He knows his rocks.
thanks Rick
JEFF -LIKE!!! УДАЧИ!!! 🤠👍
IGNORE what you heard about information in Oregon. Its in every river east of Portland north and south. The Cascades. Is a major secret.
Jeff, I have what I'm convinced is a Algoma BIF grab samples (Two milk crates) and one side is cooked on a few pieces from hot rocks covering it. That said, I have lots of these vug's with crustiform around them in those and what I thought was Silica stockworks are actually Calcium based. (they bubble with HCL.) Anyway, How long does it take for these to form ? I ask because some of the big vug's are filled already and the little one's right next to them on the same rock are not yet filled. Very puzzling. But not as puzzling as my black and white banded Calcite sample not having any Calcium at all in it. I'm in a part of New England where long ago Volcanic arc Islands got squished into our coast.
I hope to connect this formation with what they are calling Taconite over the pond in Morocco. Same stuff I believe. But mine has Calcite stock works through it.
Jeff, you showed a map of Australia! Also, I think it'd help if you could compare how this works to smelting. I saw you in the Katherine mine, I think below granitoids, I mean id probably look for that. Quarts is like a type of flux, I'd where nuggets form though, or what the properties of these ores you look for are generally.
yep it was an example so we would not have a Gold Rush to that area ...so much Gold there ....
@Askjeffwilliams don't want Ole slim coming down? I'm thinking black sands are essentially the natural flux, and quarts and pyrite are like more durable versions that run in veins. Idk if iron is brittle, but a lot of metals, especially the amorphous kinds, are more brittle. I guess it is mostly in quartz, but im still trying to learn how I can figure that out via Google maps. It looked more like it can happen around diorites as well as sedimentary rocks, idk if one is more prone to forming nuggets or not. I went to Auburn, but that stuff is extremely difficult to smelt and refine, can't pan it out.
@Askjeffwilliams so I figured out it is found in mainly slate and sedimentary rock layers. You were looking for quartz and volcanic rocks I think. the transitional ares of both I think are primarily where gold is located. Slate has fine gold though.
Them thar hills have a name? How do we help put boots on the ground mrds. Is there public digging grounds
these mountains are up for claim so you may want to hurry
I swear YT has you in a shadow ban there is no way your subscribers numbers should be under 2 million
we were thinking that too
Jeff hold up a min this auto play hit on us gotta wait till I wake up first .
Hey my brother great video. Did you see the ufo over your right shoulder eary in the video talking about the green rock be safe brother 🙏
yep we saw that too .....it moved pretty fast
Quartz Latite also correct?
Yay!!!
Jeff! I thought it was "Folk Lore" that you can accually Smell Gold? Desn( Soul) Toronto
yes you can .... smells like Victory
The Falcon's range on tiny gold; is under 1 inch. (I used to build them.)
thanks Joe
Is there really good in them thar hills 😂
Yes,, would jeff or Lila be in a hot oven for any other reason😊. Don’t think Slim would 😂
You look familiar. Do you make a Bindinie motor?
So many big words....😢 Just show me the shinny....lol Very informative Jeff Williams
Jeff, do you think it’s possible to crush up the landscape rock I have around my house and find gold? I have Chert, basalt, granite, quartzites etc…… what do you think?
its possible
Nasty chemtrails in your sky too huh Jeff? Thanks always Jeff
815 seconds in I found this in Colorado n I knw now I'm on to something
What's quartz called that turns purple? I got a rock mine full of quarts which has purple deposition bands.
that would be Amethyst ...high iron content causes that
@@Askjeffwilliams Thanks Jeff! That's why your #1 geologist.
It does have hella Iron in it. Whole layers of soft black raw iron where the quartz has separated from itself. super interesting.
Tip: if u must use a spotlight-type flashlight, don’t point it directly at ur subject as the camera weighs the middle subjects heavier in exposure. Ie, stop blowing out the highlights of what u want us to see :)
Hello, i wrote in before. This is what the oily water that is in my stream looks like under a microscope. The entire stream beeps coin with the metal detector. I was reading that oily water means a bacteria is in the water. Any thoughts?? I
or there is a large company dumping upstream
Oh wow!! I didnt think of that. But its a stream that starts here.
This helps remind me why I’m a contributor.
thanks
