Jason when are you going to process all the bags of the gold ore you guys spent so much time collecting? If you've already processed it? When will you post the videos?? We are patiently waiting!! We love ya Jason and the MO Boys as well!! Thanks for all the great videos!! Please give us an update soon!
Especially the El Gordo
I suspect since he is in the pacific northwest the bags are wet and frozen so we have to wait for a thaw.
His big jaw crusher doesn't know the rocks are frozen...but if it was me I'd wait for warmer weather too!!
He's been selling it on Ebay. Over $50k sold so far.
Winter just started, I’m sure he’s playing in the shop everyday cutting and crushing, to busy to edit it at this rate
I really appreciate all the content and thank you for sharing your adventures. I was wondering if you were going to be posting more videos of you processing and extracting gold from all the ore you mined out from your personal mine. I know you are selling bags of it on eBay but selfishly hope you will still post more content on the crushing, refining, and cleanup of the ore. The results are always my favorite part to watch.
yeah i was also looking forward to seeing how much gold he would get out of it :O
He's said previously his goal is to make a gold ingot from his mine so I hope that's still on the cards. I'm guessing he's selling off the current load so he can help cover his costs up until now.
Look forward to the crushing, shaker table & smelting!
As a prospector I enjoy seeing different mines and the geology’s it makes it that much easier when out in the field when I recognize something I’ve seen in your vids. Definitely looking forward to the 2nd part I think with your equipment mine operator will be surprised at how rich that section actually is thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼
Hi Jason and Harry.I get excited just watching and listening to your comments.can't wait to see that ore getting processed. Love your channels you guys. I'm up here in kelowna so I watch Dan all the time.i can't wait for spring so I can get out and pan so gold.
Jason, as Jeff says, "The redder the better!" In the desert.... it's all good if the AU is happening, I myself, I'm liking the prospects in your workings in the Cascades... keep up the amazing work all ya! ⚒️💪⚖️👍🤠
It's a really pleasure to watch you video ! Thank you Jason 👍👍
Its great to see you two working together and the vids take up these freezing cold, wet days that i am enduring here in Idaho. keep up the good work.
The xray spec unit blew my mind. I took a semester in college using a machine that did that, that was about the size of four 4 drawer file cabinets together and produced a chart that we needed to interpret the points on. Amazing!
I looked it up price in the 15,000 range if I remember right!
Jason is always down to get his hands dirty and do the same hard work as anyone else.
I can't wait to see the test, outcome. Hopes are high but as always with mining it could be hardly anything.
🙏 for the best
It's was the same hard work that got him to this point...he is use to mining. it's where he started off
Great job catching footage of you guys working. I know it's a challenge but it's greatly appreciated.👍 Keep up the great work guys. 🙏💕👍
Jason and Harry you knocked it out of the park with this one😊🎉
That mine sure has alot of loose rocks, cracks. "Just waiting to get fall in". But it was so much on the edge. Crazy stuff. Regards 🇿🇦.
Thx for taking us along! Great content gents.
Excellent Sunday night entertainment for me out here in Brazil. Great to see you guys getting out and doing things with your lives. It's a real privilege to be able to share some of your adventures. A big thank you . Richard
thanks for taking us along with you
I wonder if you could pressure wash mines where water is more available in order to dig up all the gold particulate that does make it to the floor over time.
Jason and Harry, very impressed with the extent your knowledge is getting as you guys press on in mining! Keep the videos coming! stay safe and continue your story!
I don’t think I will ever get bored with this channel. There’s just so much variety and so much to learn. 😊
MUCH LOVE to you two. Great stuff. See you on the next one.
Great...another one....Thanks for sharing knowdledge..
The communication was great..Harry was funny all the way😊
💛 Great work, Harry and Jason 💛 Looking forward to the processing part 💛 The wood work in that area of the mine looks amazing!!
Love how you all help each other, love the cross over from each creator as you help each other... much respect for that.
Looking forward to the results of this foray. Stay safe
That was incredible! Thanks to both you guys! Can't wait to see the results! ♥
Thanks Jason for sharing, love this one and the color of the rock is quite amazing.
Exciting stuff!
Thanks for sharing
🙏❤️🌲
👍man i cant wait to see some of that stuff slabed up
Thanks for showing us all your mine. Really cool. Great job.
high adventure outdoors...and underground! safe travels!
I think all the viewers are lucky to even get videos!!!!! Once you guys get going, there isn't much thought toward food, water breaks, time passing, or capturing video!! 🤪 Can't wait for the next video!! Jason, make sure you give more breaks for your partners!!! hehehehe Have a great week!
Love those colors, I miss mining in the dale district! One day hope to again ,to busy mining in N. Ca and about ready to add more Mbmm equipment. I love the hammer mill next a complete 2 ton system
Thanks for the amazing journeys and the great shows. Cheers
Gold mining underground in the California desert is a testament to the enduring allure of this precious metal and the remarkable lengths humans will go to in pursuit of it.
Ol' "Arry works 'is arse off, aye recon.
Good episode Jason. Looking forward to seeing the slabs.
Always a weekend treat
Fascinating stuff guys! I can’t wait to see more.
Good stuff. Thanks fellas.
Amazing the differences yet similarities between the two mines, considering localities.
Big shoutout to Harry et al; hope you x-ref these comments with them.
Can't wait to see post-table!
I can't wait to see the cool XRF "gun" on that beautiful ore! How many hours were you and Harry working? I just wish that there was more room to get to the whole vein. With both of you at once, you could have grabbed a truckload for the mill. Time and patience rule this stope, unfortunately. But very valuable ore nonetheless. In the Meantime Jason, I'm sending you blessings from Alabama ❤️
Look at all the shine ✨ on the walls! If you pay attention the camera catches the shine. Another way to prospect is to review the footage.
That is one of method old prospector use to find gold. to look at peak.slope.expose rock &soil for sparkling in the morning or after rain.
that jackhammer always gives me blisters on my thumb
Thanks Jason , great video .
Awesome stuff can’t wait to see this processed and all the other places too. 👍
It's getting ebayed
Thank you for all the great advice and inf informative advice
Amazing story.
Thanks again
Really enjoyed this guys, exited to see the results.
HOLY CLAUSTROPHOBIA BATMAN!!!! I can barely breathe watching this...
Great video of where the stuff actually comes from.
Totally awesome 👌
Outstanding video awesome content thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother
Fascinating, thanks.
Thank you, keep working.
Great video as usual very informative, this is probably my favorite video so far.
One question when the mine operator was using that black light on the rock he was seeing a green indicating gold, what type of black light did he use? I know there's two different types, thank you so much I look forward to the next video, I look forward to seeing what's in your samples.
Short wave UV
Exciting video, good job guys
Jason, Was there any concerns about scorpions or tarantulas? Those crotters give me the willies :)
Awesome!
Thanks from Australia well done good luck
Hey Jason! I just saw you on a BusinessInsider video talking about E-waste!
Although your video, only shows the 2 of you there, are there other people there, in case something happens?
I'm ready to see what came out of Jason's mine.
Great video !!!
1:20 you didn't find any snakes, but you did find a ladder :p Snakes & Ladders board game :)
Should have looked up into that ceiling with that flashlight 🔦 you can see the seem in the ground I love that you can tell it’s going to come out easy
I've got the same ORC 1200 a few months ago, to haul rock and firewood. It's a Man's Wagon!
Hah, there’s the piping 😊
Happy to see you‘re helping each other out!
not sure about the guy who apparently has a crush for old textiles.
too bad there‘s a fissure between some of the explorers and others but I consider pillaging artefacts from (abandoned) mines a robbery.
Hi Jason, What an awesome vein you're digging on! Did you find actual Limonite crystals with the Quartz & Calcite? Or is it just Limonite staining? Great video!! Thumbs up! Stay safe. Jim
Thank you for letting me be a miner vicariously through you. I'm too lazy to do it myself.
How deep is the snow at your mine. I can't see you working it this time of year or you cleaning your or it must be all iced up
Anther great video. I was in the mine with you guys. Can't wait for the next video 😂
Good boxwork with the limonite after sulfides.
Soon as he sees the spot "who's going to mine it for us". Thought he was a miner?
Hey Jason! Here is a video-topic request for you: show techniques for easily verifying gold
I live not far from you, and I love watching your progress. Your videos and Sierro Gordo videos have really given me an appreciation for how valuable gold and silver is. I've been buying gold bars and coins as a result.
The thing I'm always left wondering: How can make sure I'm not receiving fake gold?
I know gold can be measured by weight, and water displacement, and other techniques. I think your viewers would love to watch a video for how to easily verify that the gold they buy is authentic.
When you hit a Sulphur pocket be sure to collect the gem stones.
This is so cool
I know exactly what it feels like to be that dusty... hard work 👊
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
you have a great channel. I bought a property on a gold rich creek that has been worked by hand and then later with a floating bucket dredge. I was wondering if you would do a video showing the types of lode rock you would collect along a creek bank worthy of setting aside to be crushed. I have a good idea of what the mineralized quartz looks like but have looked and cannot find any videos about this. thanks!!
All your stuff your putting in the pipe looks like it gets traveling pretty good by the time it hits bottom🤯
nice mine they sure put some work in those timbers
That is a great prospect.
35:23 id like to slab up some of that and make tiles for a back splash in a kitchen and or bathrooms! Especially with UV accent lights on it! That would look awesome!! Especially if it has gold in it!! Expensive tiles !! Hahaha!
Great video content
Back in the day there wouldn't have been much OHS. It's good you're taking extra precautions.
Glad you didn't grab a Nope Rope (otherwise known as a Danger Noodle!) XD
Has anyone tried mixing corn starch and water. Im s pump sprayer to spray everything down. To keep the dust down a bit?? Atleast until more is made,!
CA ? I am surprised CA allows anyone to dig / mine. Good to see.
It's way harder than it used to be
It's almost impossible to do any profitable form of mining in cali, hardrock is the only profitable way , other than that sniping and metal detecting which are just hobby gold
If dredging was still alowed in cali, cali would still be the source of most the worlds gold. '
Awesome
Looking forward when you process this ore
That shit takes balls of steel, from a placer miner of 40+ years!
Nice video
The reddish-purple stuff should be the richest from my experience in Western Australia. The purple colour comes from light-hitting nanoparticles of gold.
Would antivenin be too much to have nearby ,.,.?? maybe you are close to town,.,.just a suggestion ,.,.Tkzz for sharing,.,.peace
🎸🎸 WhooHoo , great stuff! NW Montana USA
Where do you get those string lights running off the electrical cord in the mine?
That big chunk should be a rib eye for Jason jaw crusher lol
Nice job
That’s cool as guys liven the dream.
I hate snakes!!! Best if I just stay away! Haha
I wondered if I heard well lol😮
this is the dream!!
