    @Far2hip 2 роки тому +6

    I remember reading about how old timers used to plant multiple quartz floaters on the base areas of a spot that would possibly fit the bill for a vein as a deception to keep others away from what they found and off searching the set up area. The pump fake has been in use far before basketball came around, lol.

    Living at 9000' in altitude in Colorado and going offroad for hours then finding a mine in the middle of the most rugged extreme terrain is beyond impressive for the dedication and the hardened people who built them, and like you were saying alot are not on any map, I came across a Chinese drift mine 2 years ago and just beginning to explore the ground. Can't wait until we melt off snow in about a month or so more! Wishing you all the best and thank you for excellent adventures and knowledge!

      It's wild stumbling across test pits and whatnot out in the boonies, I haven't personally come across any old mines just yet (I did find what looked like a portal with a rock pile nearby on tunnel drive, but didn't enter it because it could've been a lion or bear den and the area is notoriously crumbly) tons of test pits just out of town though. While I don't usually find mines or paystreaks often, I do love looking at my boots after a long hike and being able to spot a flake or two of gold stuck on them.
      Always cool bumping into some "local" people online, might bump into ya in the royal gorge region someday if you're ever down here. I'll shoot ya a sub and see if I can't learn a bit more about the geology out here in CO.

I have been happy working the creek and finding gold, but I might start looking at the quartz outcropping at the top of the cliff, it's big...about 25' long and about 15' high, covered in moss ....lots of mineralization in spots but I only have about a 3'-5' ledge to work to work on, so I'll Safely try to get some samples next year....

      Pretty sure he didn't want to talk about religion. To each thier own. I don't care what anyone does or what they believe in, but I can't help but kinda take issue when a person is basically telling someone else that their religion doesn't make sense at the same time as telling them how their own religion does make sense, especially when all the 1st person was just basically wishing a separate person that they will be well and that their God will be kinda looking after them. (That's how I see it anyways.)
      Personally, I don't really believe in "God" exactly. I believe that there is A LOT that we don't understand. And also who knows what people back then exactly were referring to when they refer to "God". I don't want to say it's aliens.... but... it's aliens..... kidding.... maybe.... I also tend to believe that both the Bible and the Quran were written by people.... and people..... well, they can suck. I think it'd be a very hard temptation to resist for anyone writing the literal handbook that would guide a whole religion of people, to not write at least some things in the book in a way that would be more in line in a way that the writer would think he get some benefit or political purpose. A good example is how some parts could get, uh, removed. Tell the whole thing, ya know? I also think that people can deliberately misinterpret the texts is ways that better suit thier agenda. Because organized religion is probably the greatest form of control over people. Undeniable. I also think it's Undeniable that as society drifts further away from religion, the worse off things are. Except in the middle east, the shit is ALWAYS hitting the fan over there. What's with that? Am I an infidel? What do you do with infidels? Hmm, which religion doesn't make sense?
      Thought exercise, can you imagine what would happen if a person like David Copperfield or some other naturally skilled magician were alive back then? You think that a person like that wouldn't be called a God? Or worship him or something?
      Anyways, I do believe that there is some kind of energy within us, (soul? Maybe.), and that maybe that energy within us casts an aura that some people can see or sense. And that something happens with that energy when we die. I just personally don't really think that there is some all controlling being that essentially relegates us to being his "ant farm." I just like to think of us as more than a hobby for a all knowing, all powerful, all controlling Supreme being. But who knows?
      See? It kinda sucks when someone just start talking about things you weren't really talking about and kinda wondering if your religion change may not have been..... anyways. I don't care what other people do or believe in, but when the 1st guy is just withing someone we'll and saying Jesus will keep him safe (or whatever), maybe just take that for the kind hearted gesture that it was, realize that is getting more rare these days, and not take it as an invitation to try and convert someone. You converted? Cool. Good for you. Maybe not everyone wants to hear about how thier religion doesn't make sense and that's why you converted.

I'm not always looking for gold, bu when I am, it's hard to stop and believe that one of them might actually have visible gold in it, especially when I go by so many that must be barren. It helps to have a lead like you did, but I'll have to be more thorough in my examination in the future.

    Super video! You make a good point about not getting hung up on one spot. I found float which lead to a 4 foot wide vein on my claim! Havent explored enough to determine mineral content though, but there is micro placer gold in the area, and it is quite coarse. Lots of ugly quartz in smaller veins, very red quartz along with a soft red mica, and flaky black mica, and some fine grained grey/silver mineralization all in the same sample. Wish I had a crusher!

It was hard with just a 3pound hammer, chisel and mini shovel haha! Thanks for explaining the difference between the hanging wall and footer wall. I think with all your videos I have a better idea of what to look for. Cheers!

    Nice find Jason! I found some quartz float on the rivers edge that I couldn't trace to the source, but it had free gold in it. 4 pieces in one little rock! That was frustrating. Have to try and trace the source again, just don't know how far down the river it came.

    • @carlinlentz6849

      Do you know how to read surficial geology maps? I would look through your local government's surficial geology map and go from there. Keep an eye out for ice direction indicators on the map and in the field. Look for recent alluvial deposits on the map and glacial-fluvial deposits. Other features to look at on those maps are basal till (commonly called veneer till) and ablation till (especially terminal moraines).

  • @skgems1558
    @skgems1558 2 роки тому

    Nice video and what a beautiful vein. In this particular area to what I understand gold tends to concentrate more in the laminated veins, the thin darker layers, up near the hanging wall and by the foot wall which can clearly be seen in your video so that's where I would like to pull out a section of those layers and crush and pan it, I'm pretty sure you will find some gold in it.

  • @S13402
    @S13402 2 роки тому

    Good luck Jason … this vein could be the upper layer that cooled fast (less gold),,, the treasure could be deeper even if the vein disappears .. it will emerge again down that one .. i know the place is difficult,, but it worths a try.

    Makes sense that the gold would be concentrated near the footwall, if the vein was horizontal. Knowing the GPS coordinates could help you find a better access route or similar geology in imagery.
    How about yhin mountaineering ropes and nylon sacs for getting more down to safer levels? Good luck! I'm right there with you on your video.

Better than blueberries, imho.
