The ground they are digging has young saplings. They are testing ground that was reclaimed just a few years earlier by the looks. No wonder they got 3 flakes.
The question , is this a TV Show or a gold mining operation. The quickest way to see if the old miners left any gold is to check the tailings, if there is gold in the tailings you can be pretty sure there is gold in the virgin ground. Benefit is the tailings is much easier digging.
i grew up in the panhandle of idaho ..my dad was a hunting guide so we was up in those mountains all the time. i remember seeing giant quartz veins and giant fools gold crystals everywhere on the roads when we was driving around hunting. i had coffee cans full of fools gold crystals...i wonder if there is gold up there?
I was never that big of a fan of Gold Rush but out of all of them it was by far the best and I always did like good ol' Dave Turin. But ya got to wonder if Dave and his company would have bought that Wash Plant or because of the show and funds from the show bought it, either way it's a damn good investment
My grandad panned 8 mason jars full of fine gold from tailings from the old mines of Idaho city/Centerville area in Idaho……he literally had an elevator for engine blocks/ concentrate built into his basement for panning during the winter. He left 2 jars each for my Mom/ Aunts….He also left 100 ounce bars of silver to us grandkids. His brother and him settled on fixing mining equipment for mining operations instead of commercially mining themselves…..but apparently he was low profile mining. He also had a couple illegal nickel/dime slot machines hidden in a secret shelf in the basement but thats anther story LOL

I need to work or at least be friends with this kind of people, so that i can learn or get funding to start gold mining here in kenya, there must be alot of gold unexploited here,
That smooth river rock is nice to see,but the cemented gravel is where the big gold is.ancient tershery river beds like in the mother load of cali.deep blue leaf,100'deepat 30' Angle,average depth to be in the gold,but not always.surface find is rare but still there.shallow. honk on blue leaf!!!
Only gold mining show where everyone is clean shavin usually these guys are pretty rough looking so I think I agree with you all and chalk this up for what it is just a stage
1942 stopped mining tells me thats the war time stop to gold mining so probably lots on the trend they were dredging in the direction they were heading and there would be records and maps and plans😊
Some interesting geology in the area. The claim sits on a big alluvial deposit, obviously with some glacial action mixed in, but I think you guys were closer to a bunch of gold than you found if you just checked west a bit more. The alluvial deposit has a big bench that extends up thomas creek and runs south along the valley and west of the dredge workings, now what gets neat is the alluvium source appears to be up thomas creek but the plutonic granite surrounding the valley/bedrock has a big old fault running further to the west that trends NE/SW the length of the valley and then some. Infact this fault appears to have intersected a much older (500mya) sedimentary basin deposit (including shales/limestone/marble/carbonates) and has caused a big portion that was connected to the head of the alluvium deposit to drift a few miles southwest... this could have changed the course of flow/deposition. I think this old sedimentary basin was the source of the gold dave, you were very close, because if you check the historical usgs reports there's a bunch of mining just NW of this fault where this sedimentary deposits contacts the granite and a more horizontal trending fault connected to the structure. Now considering the best gold was found near the north end of the alluvium is safe the say that fault isn't responsible for the gold in the valley or it'd be more homogenous in terms of big gold being dispersed throughout rather than mostly near the head of the alluvium deposit. The river that flows in the north end cuts through the same granite and has no signs of old workings in the reports, so chances are good the gold deposits from the sedimentary formation to the NW of the valley and then when the granite starts uplifting the area the flow that deposited that alluvium (and this is also how we know its not the granite or the river at the north - that river couldn't haven't deposited the alluvium up thomas creek) was shifted and that was the end of the deposit cycle. The valley immediately west may also hold similar gold but doesn't look like the same alluvium deposit that sits in warren meadows was ever worked in the valley over, in the southern end of the valley the glacial till ends and the old alluvium like in warren creek begins to poke out for a pretty sizeable stretch. There's also an older gneissic schist/sedimentary which is slightly younger than the sedimentary deposits near war eagle mountain that have signs of past workings that sits across the valley on the west end opposite of war eagle mountain and the oldest sedimentary deposit (remnants of an ocean/inland sea). I would definitely go back and take a second and third look at the area... old timers might have missed something pretty big in the valley to the west if I'm correct about the alluvium source. Even if the fault turns out the be the source of the gold that still just makes the valley to the west even more appealing. Edit: looks like they did actually dredge in the next valley over but they interestingly dredged in the glacial till, none of it is logged on USGS but the workings are definitely there and its pretty huge. The question is if they were finding anything of value in the more modern glacial till or were they punching down to the old alluvium under the glacial till? And it just so happens to make sense them dredging northern end of the valley is where the better concentrations of gold would be in the old alluvium just like in the warren valley even if they had to dig down through a bunch of overburden. The old alluvium should be comprised of a carbonate end stage metamorphic rock sequence - if you aren't digging that up you aren't in the right stuff. edit 2: actually the name of the placer operation for the dredge workings (it actually looks like a massive hydraulic pit rather than dredge but who knows) was Golden Rule Placer mine, report indicates $0.12 per cubic yard - discovered 1860's but doesn't indicate when the productiion report for the yardage came from... and yea further down the report indicates hydraulic pit operation. There's still all the gold trapped in the old alluvium under that pit operation the gold values propably thinning as you grade west of the old pit operation. There's still gold there man, and a lot of it. Again they only worked the glacial deposits (low grade) in the western valley so there's still all the old alluvium channel under the glaicial till that is guaranteed virgin ground for larger scale operations outside of random individuals back in the 1800's. If you find a world class deposit... ;)
If I had all that Discovery channel money I wouldn't need to find Gold. 😂 I'd just make a show about prospecting add a lot of drama and I win. Who needs to find actual Gold when those Discovery checks are so fat ! 😂😂
I mean, whats next? You going to spend 2,000,000 DOLLARS on 3 helicopters and a whirlygig? Geezes Dave calm down. Lemme guess, next season we have a 1,000,000 ounce goal???
Classic entertainment. Not winning the race? Don't worry, just get the production company to buy you about 50 ounces to keep the viewers interested.😂😂 Even Tyler admitted that they buy most of the gold. It's on her UA-cam channel.
Love your show but the drama, I pan in rivers in N California and Dave, Stop cuz that’s Not good size. Microscopic and the camera couldn’t even pick it up.
Before covid hit the world, I was a fan of these series. I just can't follow anymore. Morbidly overweight men who eat an unhealthy diet play some kind of superhero. I prefer to follow the Emilya Bering Sea Gold series. Nothing personal, but makes me sick.
You mean there's a modern day gold rush for people who are already wealthy , never some poor person, American dream is dead for the other 98 percent of us ....
GOLD IS ALL OVER THE PLANET...ITS IN PLACES PEOPLE WOULD NEVER DREAM... INCLUDING PLACES THAT'S NEVER BEEN LOOKED AT DUE TO GEOLOGICAL MAPS.... YEAR'S AGO ALL THE CONTENTS WHERE ONE BIG MASS OF LAND...THE ENTIRE GLOBE IS GOLD RICH.....WHAT I FIND FASCINATING IS THE FOLKS THAT BUILT THE OLD DREDGES
the over dramatization of every little thing got me to stop watching these shows, i watched the first season or two but it got messed up after that (years ago)
What pisses me off it's been too damn much time at the front of the episodes telling me what you going to do instead of just getting to the damn thing.
Lmfao dug one hole for 10 colours that was probably already in there sluice and declare the grounds no good. And walk in on a track and call themselves prospector's. All their physiques say otherwise...only in America hey.
The gold miner that flies a helicopter into a remote location to take two test pans from non descript piles of dirt is a gold miner that will go broke
The ground they are digging has young saplings. They are testing ground that was reclaimed just a few years earlier by the looks. No wonder they got 3 flakes.
Good show but please stop the manufactured drama , the guys aren't good enough actors for that.
Yeah. Look fir gold. Ditch the soap opera
The question , is this a TV Show or a gold mining operation. The quickest way to see if the old miners left any gold is to check the tailings, if there is gold in the tailings you can be pretty sure there is gold in the virgin ground. Benefit is the tailings is much easier digging.
Discovery channel posting full episodes...nice!
Ty for Your time ,clean video. Peace i want more of gold rush plz
i grew up in the panhandle of idaho ..my dad was a hunting guide so we was up in those mountains all the time. i remember seeing giant quartz veins and giant fools gold crystals everywhere on the roads when we was driving around hunting. i had coffee cans full of fools gold crystals...i wonder if there is gold up there?
Good possibility, those are both good indicators.
Anybody else noticed over the years they're just rerunning all the old timers tailings the old timers got all the good gold
Hello to the Discovery Channel Distribution Manager - Complete episodes are appreciated ANYTIME.
I was never that big of a fan of Gold Rush but out of all of them it was by far the best and I always did like good ol' Dave Turin. But ya got to wonder if Dave and his company would have bought that Wash Plant or because of the show and funds from the show bought it, either way it's a damn good investment
To all team who help dave sending u much love from UK England ❤ keep safe thank u lads never quiting on dave ❤
Instead of running on Virgin ground why not try the piles that the old timers ran. They were only after the BIG stuff not the fines…
My grandad panned 8 mason jars full of fine gold from tailings from the old mines of Idaho city/Centerville area in Idaho……he literally had an elevator for engine blocks/ concentrate built into his basement for panning during the winter. He left 2 jars each for my Mom/ Aunts….He also left 100 ounce bars of silver to us grandkids.

He also had a couple illegal nickel/dime slot machines hidden in a secret shelf in the basement but thats anther story LOL
I'm glad to see you have been doing awesome Dave . One day at a time & always keep our precious Lord Jesus Christ in your life 🙏❤

I need to work or at least be friends with this kind of people, so that i can learn or get funding to start gold mining here in kenya, there must be alot of gold unexploited here,
Nope just dirty diamonds 😢😮😊
There isn't much the old timers missed ..
That smooth river rock is nice to see,but the cemented gravel is where the big gold is.ancient tershery river beds like in the mother load of cali.deep blue leaf,100'deepat 30' Angle,average depth to be in the gold,but not always.surface find is rare but still there.shallow. honk on blue leaf!!!
Respect to u dave❤love from rob over pond in UK England
Only gold mining show where everyone is clean shavin usually these guys are pretty rough looking so I think I agree with you all and chalk this up for what it is just a stage
Chris Taylor wasn't clean shaven. Within the first 30 seconds.
I'm in Oregon n know where alot of gold is. Just need the equipment n people 💯❤️
How much land I’m a gold prospector
from Malaysia . i want to join sir . 😊
I'll work
The only thing this guy can do is deliver epic talks and speeches.
I worked alongside this guy 20 years ago. And one hell of a grader.
@@MichaelBidema He can definitely run a dozer or grader, no doubts there.
Amazing, very good
1942 stopped mining tells me thats the war time stop to gold mining so probably lots on the trend they were dredging in the direction they were heading and there would be records and maps and plans😊
Those dredges use to dig way deeper than what they tested too
Awesome video 😊
Dave deserves a good excavator operator, that keeps his mouth shut, without the bull shit
Yeah right, full episodes of 5 yr old shows. It’s old even if you haven’t seen it.
New tec wash plants that are smaller and capable to handle is so so awesome at A LOWER COST!
Season 4 ended with dave retiring. What comeback is this?
Comeback? This aint a comeback😂 hes a loser like hoffman😂
This is the old season
When is America's Backyard Gold coming back on?

If you find a world class deposit... ;)
I read your report but Dave Turnen never will. Unless you emailed it to him directly.
Turin never lost his mine... mind, maybe.
oh so much apreciated we all been waiting for this
love u guys
Gold is at its highest ever at $2500 an oz
😊
Dave Turin couldn't find gold if he was standing in the middle of FORT KNOX!!
I agree, and clearly he's being baited by a geologist that wants him to work her claim for her, as she's likely out of money😂
If I had all that Discovery channel money I wouldn't need to find Gold. 😂 I'd just make a show about prospecting add a lot of drama and I win. Who needs to find actual Gold when those Discovery checks are so fat ! 😂😂

I'd think it's something called Gold Feaver. You just can't ever have enough.
Accurate

I mean, whats next? You going to spend 2,000,000 DOLLARS on 3 helicopters and a whirlygig? Geezes Dave calm down. Lemme guess, next season we have a 1,000,000 ounce goal???
That gold dredge is worth more than the gold they’re going to find 😂

Natives have a Legend
About red headed giants. I believe is the offspring of the Rafaiem, nephalim
Can geologists get any hotter
what season is this
Working for the Anunaki
What it comes down 2 just need to know where to look my friends 😅
If i had enough $ to buy a new wash plant, i would invest in a lil mobile drill.
Humans thinking the earth is too big to be destroyed have no idea the earth is the future of our children's children!
Liberalism is a mental disorder
What was the primary use of gold right before WWII, Currency?

Whos morbidly obease? Dave?
I see you think toddn hofman is dave?
I would bail if it wasn't 25$ in a 5 gal bucket 😂😂
My sun blind got permit try en to help❤
99%of quartz has no gold but 99%of gold is associated with quartz
And THAT.. isnt smelly. Good work captain.
Easy hunts find quartz gold should be next. Mining 101
I found shit load of quartz in the river near me I've been meaning to go panning and check it out and possibly buy mini sluce
@@blaironespot8757 look for where heavy’s are deposited black sand is a good indicator I wish you luck but not all quartz carries gold 🤞
You mean there's a modern day gold rush for people who are already wealthy , never some poor person, American dream is dead for the other 98 percent of us ....
old episode who gives a fudge geez
Need Some kilo’s gold play give it to me:)
Needs more fake drama, intense music and bullshit ads. People will still watch for the gold alone
Dude , you got to be related to SHAWN RYAN..tell me im wrong ????
you need to learn to move 50/100 buckets per man per hr.no pumps no sluicing to slow thats classified and panned
Waste of time to watch these click bait shows like oak island people are done with them my time matters you're shows don't a😊
Won't to help veny blue
They just walked away from a million Bucks . In Idaho I have seen and Lissened to boys who have found millions in a 20 Ackers .
GOLD IS ALL OVER THE PLANET...ITS IN PLACES PEOPLE WOULD NEVER DREAM... INCLUDING PLACES THAT'S NEVER BEEN LOOKED AT DUE TO GEOLOGICAL MAPS.... YEAR'S AGO ALL THE CONTENTS WHERE ONE BIG MASS OF LAND...THE ENTIRE GLOBE IS GOLD RICH.....WHAT I FIND FASCINATING IS THE FOLKS THAT BUILT THE OLD DREDGES
600 oz, that’s kind of Greedy isn’t it, that’s well over $1.4 Million
local languages me daalo bhai. its not discovery internatinal
the over dramatization of every little thing got me to stop watching these shows, i watched the first season or two but it got messed up after that (years ago)
Let me know and i send u some shovels with proper handles.. who can dig with such things.. wrist injury coming your way fast
I forgot how dumb Dave's #2 was.... Is he a cast off of the Hoffmans?
What pisses me off it's been too damn much time at the front of the episodes telling me what you going to do instead of just getting to the damn thing.
Lost over 100 tun 4 yr
Tradução para o português
the dumb background music just ruins the quality of the show.
The devil's blue up ore us
Dave the terd rock.
Did he sell this mind to his guys and retire from mining aboit a year ago.
loose the unnecessary background music .lm here to watch gold mining not a bloody music channel BIG BIG FAIL
Lmfao dug one hole for 10 colours that was probably already in there sluice and declare the grounds no good. And walk in on a track and call themselves prospector's. All their physiques say otherwise...only in America hey.
+try GOLD pHENOMS gravity panning learn to move 100 _ buckets per hr to 400 micron learn to prospect no pumps no sluice
Won't to help us with donations ss us with stouert Parker
So fake
The Hem state is Arkansas. Get your facts straight
Dave needs a gold digger
So back than they only really found bigger gold than fine gold and they still prospect for fine gold kinda stupid on their part to me
