Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- We finally broke our own Gold record after removing tons of dirt from the sump of our mine shaft and try a little metal detecting the Drift new tunnel with our Minelab Gold Monster 1000 for Placer Gold Nuggets. After we run all the red paydirt from the sump , we get more Gold than we have ever seen in the pan. This is ask Jeff Williams saying thank you.

The amount of Gold coming out of our Drift mine is unbelievable ... and remember if you want to get your hands on some of that beautiful Shiney then all you got to do is sign up as a Premium Patron ... www.patreon.com/askJeffWilliams and don't forget that we are giving away a Large Sand Bag of unsearched paydirt from the sump of the Drift mine and a Gold Hog Multi Sluice at the end of the month so you still have time to sign up ... so you know what I am gonna say huh ....you better ..So C'mon...let's Go !!!!
Good for you Jeff 👍
You could 3d print a clay comb for your sluice with a 🗜️ on each side.
🗜️-|πππππππ|-🗜️
----_🌊_🌊_🌊_----
You could also use firm silicone to make bristles so that the clay chunks don't pass until they break down.
Make multiple combs of lesser size for smaller chunks.
Feck yeah some of that please Jeff!!!
good on ya JEB
IM A PREMIE! I signed up a few weeks ago! I’d love to receive anything your giving away, most importantly, all the knowledge brother, Your Appreciated Jeff, Thank you
Jeff, you really are living the dream brother! Every one of us watching would love to have a productive claim to work, all while camping out away from all the noise of modern life. So glad you share your adventures!
Right on!
I love to but have been out of work for all most four years been fighting for workman comp so I got nothing now
@@scotthites9517 sad truth is they do everything they can to not pay claims. But if you have nothing, then you have nothing to lose...there's gold out there just waiting for someone to find it! Why can't that someone be you?!
@@scotthites9517just went through my final appeal and was finally accepted. You'd think it comes out of the judges pocket. Stay positive it will work out for you brother
You won't believe this Jeff. Well maybe you will. In heavy commercial concrete. We use the wedges too. Guess what we call them. Miners wedges. And don't get me going on a miners wrench. It's a crescent wrench with a hammer on the heavy end. Lol 😂
oh I believe it ....love them wrenches
The 6 million dollar minor, all brought to you by the big shiney and a can of beans. Love your show!
I love how precise the title of that show is:
"The 6 million dollar man"
that music is from The bionic woman, lol
Gold miner or gold minor 🤔 one is a gold expert and the other is a child lol
Jeff wishes he had that biopic hand, who wouldn't need a crusher.
Dangit I'm here TRYING to beat catfish record .. and missing out on GOLD! IM GETTING WET THOUGH 😆 🤣 😂
Haha, same here but with fluke! Crap conditions though going home empty handed 🤷. That's why it's fishing and not catching!
Watching all 518 videos for the 2nd time now. This Man is awesome. That old miners light with acetylene was cool to see.
thanks
I still laugh when I remember my grandfather teaching me about carbide lamps. In a pinch you can spit into it if you run out of water. But he had many a time where he said to hell with it and just pissed in the reservoir.
The one time taking a piss mightve saved your life hahahahahaha 😆 🤣 😂 😅 🤪 😜 😆 🤣 😂
With the metal detector going off with every blow it looks like the wall is crying in pain everytime you hit it hahahahahaha 😂 🤣 😆 😅 🤪
His enthusiasm is unrivaled
People have no idea how hard this is
I have seen many of his videos he's always energetic & smiling
thanks
Us cavers were still using carbide lamps well into the LED era. Now LED is king! Great video!
I like hearing the heavy metal while you are digging out all the heavy metal.
I don’t blame Lela. Watching all that gold coming out of her drift and then just giving it away to strangers would rip my heart out as well. lol I have watched a lot of other UA-cam channels and they all have the partition but so far you are the only one I saw that gave the patrion money back.
For everyone else’s benefit, the case of those carbide lanterns get hot, really HOT! It didn’t matter what brand whether a Guy’s Dropper or a Justrite. Don’t bother with the plastic Justrite types which came out in the 70s, they melt and are unsafe. Thanks for the demo with the sticking Tommy and carbide comparison. 🤩
thanks and you betcha
Jeff Williams the man that digs holes .The mind man
Love this channel!
I'm learning do much from this channel. He's got such a likeable person. Would love to spend a weekend with this man
@@woonsockettruthseeker9009 nudge nudge hint hint 😉
That shelf is so solid it shook the WHOLE mine when you pulled on it!! Whee!!
Jeff, thanks for the Candle and Carbide experiment, wow the old timers worked hard in bad lights.
Always keen for more adventures.
Pete Australia 🇦🇺
yes they did ....thanks Pete
🤗 pretty cool! Always wondered how bright them carbides were/are🤔😝 ✌️🤙
Absolutely love your never ending enthusiasm Jeff, fantastic. Thank you so much for showing us the candle light then the carbide lamp light, certainly puts it into perspective. Those old timers had a darn tough time down in them there mines. You really must give out a warning though, because not only did I play the air guitar, done some head banging THEN reminisced over the $6Million Man AND got my pants blown clean off. What will the neighbours say?!! Thanks again & stay safe.
thanks Sue...... you betcha .... the neighbors will say you must be watching Jeff Williams
I'll tell you for certain that the enthusiasm does NOT turn off when the camera does! He is a ball of positive energy. 👍👍
In the early 70's we could still buy carbide & lamps. In those days battery & bulb TEC wasn't like it is today. Spelunking the only way to spend a long time underground was to use carbide. Really worked well. Cheers from Northern California!!!
these videos are like a fever dream and i love it
also digging a tunnel underground is like every guy's dream so im living vicariously through you rn
guys just have an innate urge to dig holes and make tunnels
I hear ya my brother
@@Askjeffwilliams watching this makes my gold fever get hotter, I haven't been able to go gold pan since 2019 because of the fires here in Oregon and it's definitely harder to travel to somewhere to go pan being in a adult group home
Me too! I concur, "(must dig hole to feel good)"
@@davidhiebert4354 Hey there fellow Oregonian! Hopefully once we have a Republican Governor in office the fires should stop....as they're solely tied to a specific un-named agenda...LOL! But the fires have opened up and revealed some old workings near me, so I plan on hitting those up soon...so that's sort of a positive.
@@davidhiebert4354 hey bro. Don't let the fires stop you. That's nature's way of replenishment of the gold in streams. Gold is ten times better after a fire. Oh boy. Suck it up buttercup that shiney is out waiting for you
Place is gettin' nice and cozy! Bedroom, kitchen and a sea side view comin' soon! 🤣 But with your awesome efforts, its paydirt time! 🤠
I live in Redding California. I get lots of little stuff around here. Looking for bigger and better. Thanks for all your experience and information.
That doohicky you found at 21:18 is an ancient doll from the Gizuni Warrior Tribe and if the sacred necklace is missing then it means your wallet will travel from the nail salon to the jewelry store.
Another Great video Jeff, we can always count on you to keep educating us on geology and finding gold. Thanks.
you betcha
Nice!!!! Great clean up Jeff! And the shelving looked awesome.
she'll be comin down in the mountain when she comes... AU riches bi....... rock on and keep the gold flowing Jeff and Slim
Still my favorite channel to watch after all these years.
thanks
@@Askjeffwilliams no thank you for keeping it real
I always wondered how the old lamps work! Thanks! Sooooo cool!
Jeff, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. Thanks for all your hard work, and allowing us to come along for the ride every Friday!
I appreciate that!
I like that you brought the historical lighting, this is a hard job, respect
Nice one Jeff! I have not long beat my record👍🏻 Not nearly as much as you but got 2 grams and I was well happy⛏🏴
Congratulations!! Any gold is good gold!
Awesome Jeff keep it coming 👍
At 24:44 the large rock on the 4th riffle appeared to be a nugget caked in clay. I only caught a glimpse of color but I think it maybe was missed. The largest rock in that riffle caked in red clay.
Man that is cool AF. I’m so impressed and jealous.
thanks
Thanks Jeff and team. I needed a smile for inspiration today. Love it keep ‘‘em coming!
Another good day in your mine good job jeff
P.S. my sister and my niece from Italy follow the route 66 and they make a detour in Arizona and Nevada of course Las Vegas to they visited the little famous town for the donkeys, where u and Lila visited few months ago. It's just funny know my family members more close to you then me ha ha ha😄
love the town of Oatman and maybe we will see them out here too
@@Askjeffwilliams I forget to say about the last video, wow this is a huge clean up, just in few inches of dirty 👍 yes u right is Oatman
Another awesome video. Can you put a weight of what your finding or at least the nuggets? I would love to know.
we have the final weight reveal on the Patreon site
Now that's a Golden Smile 😁 . SKK .
Really cool Jeff!!
I've had one of those carbide lamps since I was a little kid that dad gave me! I've known what it was but not how it worked! Thanks a lot!
It's full of pennies from the 70's and earlier, because that's when I put them in there Sonny Jim!!
Very cool
This thing with Jeff is very educational.
Nice to see you on the notoriously fickle pay streaks....you've got 2 advantages over the old times better lighting and metal detectors to focus the search. One obvious question grams tonsof material? One other thing that might be good for a future video would be field dry panning techniques... you've stated nuggets run in clusters and often with Au fines so say if your detecting how to search the surrounding soil especial for those of us in very dry climates...
hi Peter we have made several vids on different Dry Panning techniques
Near the end of the video, I thought I heard a rooster sound effect... nah, that's a real rooster you have near your mine Jeff! Love it!
Would have been worthwhile to see the nugget cleaned up and some totals for the small trommel run. That material is looking good!!
He can’t tell you how much it weighs because we as the ten dollar patreons guess the weight at the end of the month. The first one to guess the closest without going over wins that bag of material, pile of gold or nugget. 🤩🤩🤩 I actually won a 4 gram nugget from his mine. The most important part is you can private message Jeff on the Patreon platform with any question concerning geology prospecting smelting crushing whatever you want and he answers it it’s priceless and more than worth the ten dollars in my opinion.
exactly and thanks 48th State...the many perks of being a Premium Patron
Keeps on surprising,keeps on giving 🔥🔥🔥🙌
You're Dad would be very proud of you Jeff
Power on
Mabe he is .
thank you ...
Loved it!! Looks like 42 grams in the pan, nice!
Love your vlog Jeff. I have a question though. Would it be better to use a mill to crush the host rock in case it's holding gold? Instead of washing it out as tailings? Just wondering you know more about the process than I.
we have sampled but not much Gold in it
THE BEST! THE BEST I TELL YOU!
thanks Wheelie man
How do you know that the side walls don’t hold as much yellow as the hanging wall or the wall you are working on?
because we are following a V grove in the ancient Caliche bed
That head lamp is freaking awesome man , I need one of those in my life just to get a taste , so cool man .
MAKING AN OMELETE WHILE WATCHING JEFF WILLIAMS CANT BEAT THAT WITH A PICK AXE AND A CANDLE 😆
That was the prettiest thing I ever did see thanks for sharing Jeff 👍 .
you betcha
Hey Jeff wouldn’t you catch more gold with a dream mat in your wash plant?
we are gonna try one
Your the man jeff...been a subscriber since the beginning...thanks for the education and laughs...truly love your sense of humor...bucket list to be on one of your tours.... one day !!
thanks for the long time viewership and we know you would love our Tours
Personally, I enjoy hearing the things you have to say . Mining, timbering , shelving and laying track is really cool an I love listening to story's of how it's done.
Thar's GOLD in them thar sumps!!!
Jeff, I gave our Guinea pig a carrot shaped like that rock you pulled out of the trommel, she bit the head off first so she could eat the rest of it. Lol. Love, love, love your drift mine! 👍👍👍
lol .....thanks
thats the perfect music for when he is digging lol love it !!!
Jeff, you have managed the impossible🤣Every time you find a gold nugget a rooster crows! 🐓
the Gold Fever is crying out
Really enjoying watching you work on our day off. Hold on I need to go get some more chips.
hahahahaha everyone says that ...not sure why ..... hahahhahahaha
If my grandsons and I ever found that much gold at one time we would be dancing for sure. It looks like 1.2 ounces. We keep going to this place in gold basin found over a gram once but only finding fly poop hoping by going a little deeper we might hit it again.
I know...right and that place has produced very large nuggets
So c'mon.......Lets GOLD!!!!!!
Sneaky darned nugget looking like rock. Great find Jeff I’m very jealous ✊
thanks
I learn something new about this channel
Always a good day when you put a vlog out make me laugh 😃

I had a working replica of the Carbide Miners Lamp when I was 10 years old (45...gasp...years ago).
I bought it with a can of carbide and had it working just like you see here. Suitable for a Minor-Miner. XD
Another Great episode, Thank you, Jeff
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Jeff great work. I've been stacking Gold and silver for the past 22 years. I love it. Keep Stacking Gold my friend.
That is awesome!
Great day in the Mine Jeff!! I wish I lived in your neck of the woods, brother. Incredible amounts of shiney!
Thank you very much Sir🙏
Been a premium member for 2 years now love your show Jeff.
thank you for your years of support ....we greatly appreciate it
so cool to see the carbide lamp in action 👍
Smash it! Smash it Hard!💪
Wow, that's amazing. I am thankful that you shared so much knowledge with us. Your videos help me so much. Just got done crushing some copper ore and panning it down to see if there was any shiny. I think mabie there is. Hard to tell, there's a lot of pyrite in it as well as malachite. I'm out in these hills trying though. Thanks again!
Great video, thanks for sharing the progress it’s looking great.
Great 👍 👌
thanks great video never new about those lamps
We love you and I'm following you
thanks VY
More gold than a weekly cleanup from Todd Hoffman! :D
