Old Gold Miners Spent Thousands, Did They Find Gold!?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- We check out a 100 meter long mine adit struck on a quartz vein and see what the old gold miners were after. We found one small shear zone 40 meters into the adit with chalcopyrite and gold. However the large quartz vein does not contain high grade gold or minerals, in fact it contains nothing! The old gold miners spent thousands trying to find high grade gold ore and found nothing, this old gold mine is purely exploratory.

you never know if anything is if you dont look! thank you for bringing us along
Awesome video! Thank you
Tailings can mean a lot. When I first found my old silver mine, I found there was more than 1500 ft of tunnel and shaft and almost no tailings outside and down the slope. That really got my attention.
Good luck and I hope you fine some riches⛏🤟
It was the largest quartz mine in the area back in the day.
Thank you good advice!
Did you xRF the copper sulfide if so what were the results?
I started exploring old adits when I was 5 yrs old
My mon woulda killed me had she known
They draw me
Gold to Ya !
Sweet adventure wow for you to say nothing then there is nothing wow great knowledge thank you awesome video
Maybe they should have hired a good geologist, like yourself, and saved them a lot of money 💰 🤔 !
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏✊✊✊✊✊💖
YAAAAAAAAAAAW!
Youngin, I hate to criticize because you have extensive geology training. But not much of a nose for gold ;) No one dug a 300 foot shaft just "hunting". And where is the ore if it was barren? From the look of that, it is identical to the mines at "White Path Creek" in Georgia. That quartz was barren as well but the rotten schitz was loaded!!! 2 million ounces came out of that little valley with barren quartz!!! Now you got a fancy XRF at the shop, but that ain't in your pocket. That old timer had a blowpipe and a full kit of fluxes!! He knew every mineral in that rock and a pretty good guess of quantity!!! Your assuming he was not as well educated as you when quite the opposite is true. How did you think they chased down all those mines??? Now since they ain't gonna let you drag around a $50K XRF, maybe get you a blow pipe and at least the 5 fluxes you need for the "Big 5" ;) Chip an extra gravel off your specimans, take them home and test with a blow pipe. Might just clear up some of these "mysteries" ;) Why not do what he did. Go to the mouth of a creek, take a rock sample of every different type you see, and in a few minutes, know every mineral up that entire watershed and what host rock contains them!!! (I'll swear boys, kids these days. What are we gonna do with them LMAO!)
For being a professional in exploration I see you started sampling wrong. Unless you did other sampling without mentioning it on video....
We have sampled this about 12 times
@@911mining Don't matter. You can sample it 100 times if you want. Two places you missed is the floor of the mine and the dump. You did a surface check of the dump, but that isn't what they were going after, either. Go out to the edge of the dump and dig down about 3-4' at an angle going towards the mine. Here you will get the rock they were pulling out, likely with more traces of ore than what you found on the surface. The suface is just waste from the erosion of Lord knows how many decades since the mine was worked. This dig into the dump can help you decide IF you want to waste your time with the tunnel or not. Sampling the floor will get you the dust from the rock pulled out. This getting onto the microscopic scale, too. Unless you can do XRF or GeoChem surveys. Metal detectors help, but only for raw metal. Key oxides, carbonates, sulfides, sulfates, and complex sulfides can still be present.
We have sampled the floor and the mine dumps mostly used for road fill now so any sampling would be contaminated. We know what they were after Kuroko-type VMS this was a test adit. 👌
@@911mining Ok, great! And with a VMS there was something that lead them to that spot. You likely have a geo map of the area, so I'd start looking for the clays. The grey icky sticky stuff. I would expect to find a stringer in the mine, too. You missed something somewhere.
