8:52 Please wear protective gloves and feed the saw with a tool. You only have one set of fingers, and we need you to keep them in pristine condition for pointing out gold flakes in the mine.
Your channel is so interesting to watch. Way better than gold rush. Most of us would never get to experience this if it weren’t for you and guys like Dan,ghost town living. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.👊
Yeah 100%. When I stopped watching TV about 6 years back, discovery channel was about the only thing I missed for a few months.
This kind of UA-cam content is 100x more interesting and without all the manufactured drama.
Absolutely right! @@MattyEngland
Especially good for those of us with a lot of different interests. I get my fix of panning, mining, smelting and everything related in a couple of hours each week, with the added bonus of not getting back pain from it.
gold rush finds like 4000% more gold in one minute than on here....................... 13 specks of fly poop isn't 14 ounces in one week, or even 1 ounce a day.
@@MrCoors68 Real sour them blueberry this year, more vitamin C
Jason, MineOperator, Brent and Dan are the GOATS
check out Jeff Williams
I've been waiting for you to get those bags down the hill for 15 episodes!!! 🤣
Jesse, I totally agree! It's been one anticipatory video after another.... Thank God we can start seeing some of the results. Plus, Jason has offered some up for sale to own a piece of the most lucrative mine I've seen so far.
Good things come to those who wait!
me to
I guess Jason thought we wanted to see an older recording first?
@@MakingUsThink really like these guys videos ... ever watch Jeff Williams?
Jason’s got pallets with ton’s of ore to process, but here he is, chipping away. Love it!!!!!
Winter project!
Best to not leave it sitting there if you can see it..someone could come along when he's gone and take his free money stuck on the wall. If you can see it, take it with you.
@@Boga217 That ain't happening, glad you let us know
Selling slabs and other nice pieces on ebay is probably ore lucrative in terms of $ per ton than anything else.
This guy has the gold rush fever from what I can tell! Love the regular content and I am hyped to see all that gold ore refined!
Love the no B.S. no click bait approach ,from the mine to the refine all in one episode. I bet the Big Boys will be knockin at your door wanting a piece of that action. Hope you can keep making a go at it for yourself and your team.
Yup. Me too. It's rare on this platform.
This content is crazy, I've watched so many different gold videos and have never seen someone just plucking it out of the walls like this. Can't wait to see those bags get processed!
It really is wonderfully rich and beautiful.
A Sunday treat! Here is a comment to help your algorithm. Thanks Jason. May the gold dust stick to your boots! 💰
From 2003-2011 I worked underground coal mining in ↙️↙️ southwest Colorado. I have never been in a gold mine though. This just brings my memories of being a coal miner. I'm on disability now from injuries iv had but I'm still living Amen.
From what youve shown to what you just found, I can see why you had to share... I am proud of all the work you've done! I love pausing the feed to find more shiny in that high grade stuff!! And I think those harbor freight castors are definitely the way to go..New digs means adding new tech ! There's always a new efficient way to make things easier. Good on ya!!
You're going to have to get you a snow cat so you can get up there in the winter, lol.
I found a piece of gold 1/4 inch in that grayish material you're showing from one of your E---Bay bags. Every single piece I find of that grayish stuff has something in it, pyrite or gold. Almost every time..
Wow, that is a staggering amount of gold per ton...too bad it is just the high grade ore...would be great if all your ore came out that good! Sweet video...thanks for sharing your mine with us and we appreciate all the work you put into all your videos and your excellent explanations of everything!! Looking forward to the next video!
Those Slabs are a work of Art!😍😍😍 so beautiful!
You're going to make some serious competition for Dan's Oceanpicturestone!
Dan Herd turned me on to this great channel a while back and it’s been awesome so far. Keep those vids coming, brother!
Jason, you are definitely handling those ore bags way too much. I would suggest you go old school, forget the ore bags and muck directly into an ore cart then when you get to the raise/stope dump it directly into the shoot and have another ore cart placed under the shoot to be filled by the ore coming down. Rinse and repeat for the next raise/stope then dump directly into a dump truck (or dump bin in the back of a truck) at the portal.
Yes eventually its going wear their body out....only when you lye down to rest you feel the pain
It's gotta be so satisfying to do all of that work and then to actually hold the gold in your hand at the end of the day
Very Impressive results, Jason !!
Now You'll need to hire a Dragon or a Samsquanch to
guard Your Gold Mine from all of the Claim Jumpers
trying to slip into your mine over the winter.
Good luck trying to get there in the winter. It's a good way to die.
Dude is going to make 50x more from the UA-cam Channel. That mine could have only tin, lol, I would still watch.
Jason, you have a major gold bonanza mine on your hands! 🎉 😮 The buttons were huge for such a small amount of cons! Furthermore, the buttons looked as pure as you can get gold. Their sheen and color prove that to be a fact. You are so blessed to have a mine like this. Who else can say, "I walked right in, scooped up a few handfuls, and carried the loot to my shop for extraction?" No one I know of at present can say that right now.
Thanks for sharing your awesome gold with us! A quick suggestion before I sign off: process any cons (no matter what it looks like), and send some of the silver color off to find out if it's a precious metal. That's what I would do. Blessings from Alabama ❤️
Don't forget, that is not mineable ore. To get that 20 oz/ton, one must also haul away many more tons of worthless muck.
Yeah, that color is amazing!
@@xenaguy01 The ore is ~2oz/ton, the gold is in the quartz, so you do like in the old days, mine and process the quartz. Consider this as being an initial bulk sample. Once the buttons are produced, one can then evaluate, will this mine make pay.
@@lotharschiese8559
The quartz vein is 12-18" tall. Once you mine 3 ft into the vein, how do you follow it without mucking the non-bearing rock? There's no room for you to proceed.
That gold fever will grab you and never let go my friend!!! If you know you know 😊
I take it that selling the rock's, cut rocks, and ore bags is where the money is at. Very nice mine you have there Jason. Good Job. !!!
Amazing the amount recovered from such a small quantity of ore. Thank you Jason 👍
Hi Jason, Awesome start to finish adventure! Really looking forward to you starting the tons of ore you guys brought down the mountain! Your diamond saws are going to get a real workout! Good Luck on eBay! Thumbs up! Stay safe. Jim
old guy here but i watch your videos and really like em. I hope you score big brother
Cannot wait to see how much gold is in that muck. You boys have well and truly earned the payoff!
Very impressive Jason. Hard work and knowledge payed off tremendously. Great video!
I just watched a different video and it got away. Your latest smelting down the gold. This is so cool to sit here and watch your incredible work and filming it all underground. Longtime follower and subscriber. Thanks, Jason.
I'm hoping for a production smelter build 😁
Really wanting to see 1000lb ore smelts.
Jason, im gonna say it in every episode, but i think you and the boys need to get yourself an m18 Rocket Light for down in the muck!!
its the Milwaukee 2136-20 (THREE swivelling lights, not the one single big one) its a total game changer in regards to portable lighting.
That sounds like an awesome light! I've never heard of that one in particular, but it was a wonderful suggestion! Any lighting of that kind helps with safety and the reaping of the best materials first.
My neighbor has the big single work light and it’s amazing. Works great, and would recommend. Runs for ever on a single battery.
"oh man, I hope I don't leave any!" 🤣
That seams like a mountain of a task 😜
Jasons legitimately got the "fever"!! Cant stay away!! And Im here for it!! 😁
Congrats again Jason, looks like you found the mother load yup it would be hard to stay away knowing what is waiting. Cool winter project lots of goodies coming for everyone the pedestal amazing .LoL you have to start measuring by the OZ
instead of grams now
Oh ya huge button biggest one I've seen
👍🏾🌵😎
Can't wait to see the size of the button you pull out of that big pile of ore! Obviously it's not all going to be quite this rich, but there's gotta be a couple ounces in all of that.
i still watch other miners heavily edited vids but yours are so much more easy and enjoyable to watch,,, keep it simple
I love the episodes from inside the mine as much as the next guy but man, have I been waiting to see you go through those 500 bags you pulled from it this year. That's the episode I want to see! haha
Looks like you’ve found some serious high grade there when the chunks are literally jumping out!! 😂
Awesome stuff and congratulations brother. All that time and elbow grease should set you up just right. 😎
@ 5:40 That is an Amazing specimen Jason. Jewelry Grade for sure. Thanks for sharing this Beauty with us!!! Cheers
With that amount of material, and only a tiny fraction of it being gold, have you considered moving a crusher and table into the mine and processing the ore there?
I sure hope he has that place secure. Winter raiders.
I can not wait to see you refine some bigger batches. WOOHOOO
So rad. I hope you make a boatload in your mine. Your positive, yet realistic attitude is infectious. I wish you safety and good fortune (in that order). Thanks for the great videos man! You're excellent at explaining things.
Chris
OMG Jason those standup pedestals are amazing! Agree in keeping the rough corner on them. Great job, I’ll check your eBay site!
Great your back at the mine, maybe we will have a short winter. Really like to see this, and the yellow stuff.
Amazingly rich stuff Jason. Probably some of the richest material that I've ever seen you smelt up over the last few years. So exciting and can't wait to see what comes out of a true 1 ton run of material that you guys mucked out in all those bags.
Im really enjoying your Mining series right now! Its very interesting to see how everything is done. Thanks for the awesome content Jason!
I love this, but the suspense is killing me! How can you not be burning through what you just got home to see how the mine likes working again!😊
lol I hear ya brother sometimes I like let’s get to the bread n butter. With that being said I find myself glued to the screen for the whole video . I do love seeing the results of there labor . Have a great weekend bud
IKR!! I am sitting here with BAITED BREATH waiting for Jason to start running the ORE! Really makes me wonder how rich in total that vein is! It sure doesn’t look like it’ll disappoint! Let’s GOOO!!!
have "AU" fever do you👍
@@Paulftate I don't think I have the fever, just a burning desire to see the final results. After watching the whole series so far, I just want to know! Ok, maybe a bit of the fever too, but its all for Jason! :)
@@manjisaipoe517 have you checked out Jeff Williams?
I LOVE that you get right to content without a boring opening that I have seen 100 times. With most Ebay producers I usually just click to 2:00 in where the real content starts. Not with you! You hit the ball out of the park on the opening pitch.
That's amazingly rich ore, and the colour of the gold looks like it's quite pure. I'm glad I subscribed a long time ago
no one I would rather spend a Sunday morning with. thanks Jason
It's been great watching you go through the whole process. And that mine is spectacular. I'm liking that you did lapidary pieces too
Jason, you make conveyors...why not build one that can make the transfer from the blacksmith shop down to the truck? And for that matter, could you add a motor & pully system to your rails like the S.F. cable cars to help move the carts?
I suggested that very thing in a different video…
Loving the series keep up the good work! Learning a lot from these videos!
Your video's make me want to drop everything and go prospecting, only thing is I haven't a clue what I'm looking for 😭😂.
Amazing, big congrats for a super result. You work so hard and smart ;] Thanks for sharing....we're sitting on the edge of our seats for the excitement that's coming....cheers
I can't wait for you to mill it. Gonna need some bigger molds. Also you may want to get a set to stamp bars.
So awesome Jason
Love the content your keeping on
You have built an incredible following too
You deserve it man
Keep up the hard work and I hope I get to meet ya and share a pan someday
Brother I hope all your ore comes out that good. You could be putting up a lot of gold this winter
Your a great teacher, i've learned tons just watching your stuff. Big fan of how you've been trying lots of different methods and learning as you go along. Keep it going!
Years ago I watched an episode of “lifestyles of the rich and famous” and there was a filthy rich woman who had quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms of her mansion.
It wasn’t just any quartz but ore slabs from the California mother lode and were laden with stringers and spots of gold, absolutely amazing.
If you could ever come up with a way to get your ore out in slabs like that, I would think the value would increase significantly.
Cheers again Jason can't wait to see the bulk run of the ore u got out and again I hope it's a load of gold to cover some of the costs involved and a profit for u and the guys
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
I wonder how that ore would look tumbled. Bet it would be pretty cool.
Beautiful “live edge” ore pedestal. Wow 🤩
Those values will keep your gold fever stoked all winter long!
this is pretty sweet, I feel like I get to go gold mining without having to leave the house!
True lol😊
Freaking LOVE these mine videos. Simply can’t get enough of em
Congratulations jason! Great finds, thanks for showing us how its done.
Waiting for gold nice.
That’s awesome Jason, you guys deserve it,for the amount of effort and dedication you’ve put into the mine
Jason im so happy for you to have been able to get to have your own gold mine. I be it's going to kill you to stay out for the winter huh?
one thing i love about this channel . on a clear day i can see mt.baker from my house :)
Jason, this was such a cool video. I look forward to each next episode in your Channel. Definately the best out there. The facts, teaching us about where you fine the best gold. The quartz and silver lines that hold that high grade gold. So fascinating. I have learned so much on your channel. It never gets boring like so many of the other gold prospectors out there. Dan and you and a few others Wow. Did you decide on a name for your stone? Look forward to looking in your store. I make wire wrapped jewelry. Some of the slabs would be amazing for that. Thank you again for such an informative video and taking us along during this Opening to finding the great rock that holds the gold.
Hi Jason, thanks for sharing your journey with us, has to be the best gold mining videos ever with such a wide range of content and information, look forward to every video, I like to do a bit of panning here in Australia, Kerry.
Thanks for all the 1 to 15 series of "Opening my gold mine".
It's been my "thing" while visiting relatives on the other side of the world. I recently moved to live in the tin mining region of Cornwall, UK. So have taken an interest in mining. I already volunteer at the local mining society's little mine.
As a welder, repairing the compressed air line had me experiencing drilling with a Holman Silver 900 (similarish to your Gardner FL83). Which lead to interest in tunnel blasting. Which took me to your videos - "7" or "8". Then zoomed-out to follow your entire start-to-completion "my mine" endeavour.
I like the American "can do" attitude on practical things. In welding, Codes like AWS D1.1 and API1104 get a better result in a much simpler and cheaper way than the cascades of ISO and EN Standards.
So I looked to America and there you are...
For a high-speed high-energy tour of of the subject, I have really benefitted.
Jason if your trying to get out specimens out of the face try putting a masonry diamond wheel on an anger angle grinder notch around it, then pop it out with a chisel should work well
Found this channel through "Ghost Town Living", so glad i did, very enjoyable content thank you.
Hellz Yessss Jason!!! Oh man you deserve it! Looks like mama's getting a new dress! Happy Merry and great health to you and yours.
You guys are making the job of mucking out and retrieving ore so much harder than it has to be by sticking with the bag system. Have a look at a UA-cam video "The Bushman's Greatest Opal Finds On Outback Opal Hunters" this shows how Aussie Opal Hunters use a vacuum system to transport the ore from the face and dump it into their truck with very little effort, well worth having a look. Enjoy your work Jason.
Absolutely love this journey via your mine. I’m in Texas. I could only dream of panning for gold let alone go mining.
Keep up the great work!
you left us hanging after the last blast in part 12, we haven't really seen the results properly yet
Just grabbed one of those 25 pound samples (not high grade) gold ore from your mine. Can't tell you how much I appreciate your selling this material. It'll be really fun to process. Cheers.
Jason you can’t chip on the face with flat bit spend the 20 dollars and get the pointed bit that has twists on the pointed end it chips rock fast and accurately great buttons and cool
Ore sample man that’s a sweet mine 🤩 thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
Living vicariously thru you over here on Whidbey.
Maybe you can make crank system with pulleys only to bring the empty red bucket back up with less effort.
And maybe use a truck winch powered by a generator to attach a rope to some carts to help moving even more bags with no effort.
My absolute favorite UA-cam channel...
You certainly have yourself a gold mine Jason
Glad all your hard work is paying off.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I'm really injoying your channel. I love learning from you. Thank you so much.
I haven’t started watching the video yet but had to comment Jason you have me hooked your upload consistantley is just so easy to keep up with your channel keep it up hope all the hard work pays off from raining England ❤
I love the smelting you do! Molten metal is cool, pulling it out of rocks is cool, shiny gold buttons are cool. Love it.
JASON, if had access to your mine, I would spend my time brooming out all the left-over muck, the crumbs, wash down and then vacuum the cracks. Stiff bristle and different size dust pans required. Don't forget long tweezers, not the cheap kind. Would love for you to do this, make a video, you'll probably jump out of your skin when you see how much you recover. Lay it out on a nonmetallic surface and run a pin pointer over it to find the coarse jagged free gold. Any pieces that give a beep but can't see any Au, throw into a dolly pot and lightly hand crush, then pan for jagged Au. Those of us watching will be flabbergasted. Over the winter, for future rounds to be blasted, create hanging blast curtains made from the treads cut out of truck tires using bolts, nuts and lock washers to hold together. Can drill and assemble on site. Use rock bolts that have fasteners welded to hang the blast curtain from. Emplace new rock bolts as you advance to move the curtain forward. Enquire with your blasting agent about cost and availability of shaped charges to use in the ribs and back, for shitty ground. A miner needs to experiment to get the best breakage.
That was awesome seeing the bead solidify
Awesome! Look forward to seeing what you get from all the bags stockpiled in your shop.
Man, that is awesome. To see all your work it’s the lads and then those beautiful buttons. CONGRATS!
You could turn those slabs into square-cut coasters for a high end gift.
Awesome stuff Jason. Very beautiful bead
@11:59 - It just dawned on me that that gizmo could be used to grind corn for feed or flour. Like an old wheat mill stood on it's side. Brilliant!
Very nice to see a rich pocket, 10 to 20 ounce / ton materiel, and that chock full piece is greater than 5000 ppm materiel (5kg/ton). Your little old mine has some interesting potential. I hope you are creating some detailed geologi9cal plans showing vein type, associations, orientation and geological structural relationships.
