That quartz outcrop calls for a visit to the fridge of wonder! Awesome find and video.
I think so too!😃🍻🍻✅
What doesn't? Heck it's 5:00 oclock somewhere. Cobbles!
Rigby, Rex and, Bowser better get extra treats for sniffing up that big quartz/gold vein!! They need it they’re hard working miners!
They certainly are ! 🐕🦺🐕🐺😃🍻
Yes they are they knew it had gold all trying to higrade it while you were getting it, those raskely miners
@@FlourgoldWizardstake a look at OLOPHILIA diy dry gold shaker concentrater.
And you found gold in that vein. Amazing.
Crazy aye !!!!
@@FlourgoldWizards Methinks you are trying to eliminate the middleman. Why wait the millions of years for the vein to be broken down, ground down a few billion more years and depositing gold into the krik sometime in the next gazillion years.
Don't Wait!
Get it Now!
Summertime….and the diggin’ is easy.
Rocks are crunchin’
And the flour is fine
Exactly!
The gray lines running through that quartz look like sulfides. Jason over at Mount Baker does hard rock mining, and his quartz is full of that stuff, which is where he says the gold is... That's definitely a nice find! Definitely gold! Cobbles. 🍻
Nice to know! Thanks 😃
@@FlourgoldWizards Jason at MBMM has a TON of videos on opening an old mine. The stuff you found looks just like where he found a bunch!
Congratulations on finding this location. I can’t wait for the future videos
More to come!
Great Video good to see the boys out and about.
Glad you enjoyed it🐺🐕🐕🦺✅😃
Awsome find. Looking forward to see more videos on that quartz seem. Really enjoy your channel. Great content. Been watching for a while now. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated Ray ✌️
Boy! Those hard working miners are really building quite a resume. Gold sniffing, silver sniffing, quartz sniffing, morel sniffing, truffle sniffing, and snack sniffing wonder dogs.
They definitely need a reward for being such hard working miners.
Cobbles!🍻👍🏻🐕🐕🐕
I’ll get them some sniffles….😮🐕🐕🦺🐺🤣
Keith & Eva were looking for ore ;)
The commute maybe an issue ?
We just need to see more bedrock - to fined quarts / need more mountains & valleys .
Good fined --- hopefully your buried you find before you left !!!
It’s still there…😃
Awesome find!! Can’t wait to see you go back with the proper tools. You really might be on to something special. Congrats man.
Itll be hard work but just the thought of something cool is worth it ! 😃✅
Nice oyster mushrooms! Yep, edible and good!
That’s good to know!
AuSome!! Just discovered this channel. Keep the updates coming! 🎉
Thank you! Will do!
Eureka Yeee Haaa
Well done Jason.
Well Quartz’s out crop and a dirt sand pit..
Now you might have to stake a gold clamp.
Well I got to put another video up on Saturday morning and more at the end of this week.
Cheers Tony 👍🍻⛏️
Thanks 👍
Now we’re talking. This may be your big pay day. Wishing you many productive trips to a paying quartz vein! Be sure to share with all the pups.
Will do!!
A highly productive former state geologist in Wyoming says an old general rule is if under a ten power hand lens you see one speck of gold in a hand specimen, the rock will generally have over 1 ounce per ton of gold in it. I dont know how that works for soil or sediment samples, but its probably better than one ounce.
Wow !!!
That mighty Mill is cool! Hope you can get down to the water when its not so high. Great video and info. Thanks
I hope so too!
It's great to see you and ole' rigbone wandering around!.... Water is crazy high here as well pal, I am still locked out of my favorite gravel bar.... But hey, we make due and have fun anyways!
Havin fun makin doo !
Well worth the trip, very cool 😎👍👍
Yes it was!
Awesome was looking forward to watching YT and FGW notification pop up awesome timing and also awesome channel .
Awesome thank you!
It's always sweet to see Jason, Rex and Rigby gold prospecting and discovering a new potential flour gold bonanza. Thanks for sharing your recipe for discovering the flour gold motherlode bonanza in Wisconsin, Jason.❤😊
Our pleasure!😃🐕🐕🦺🐺
Great find Jason. I love that mill. I picked the same one up a few months ago to work some oRe I got from MBMM LC and it worked great. I am looking forward to seeing you work that vein.
It’s a handy machine !!!
Very exciting Mr Wizard. I'm very surprised you found a vein of gold.
Me too!
Follow the guartz veins to the Creek, heat that quartz with a torch cool it in vinegar, it should crush easier,good find for sure!
Thanks for the advice’
Hi Jason, with all the rain how about going back to the dry creek bed with your tank of water. Perhaps things were washed out. Thank you for your adventure ...
That’s a great idea !
Excellent results Wizard 🪄
Thanks Dave 🍻
Well that was a surprising result 😳… that being said before you run another sample flush your mill out with water the best you can that way you know your not cross contaminated from any other crushing you’ve done. Then you’ll know for sure it’s a pure sample definitely looked like gold to me THATS CRAZY 🤩 thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼 p.s. the deeper you go the better the gold gets usually and there will be more gold on one side of the vein than the other AND there could be gold in the rock the quartz vein sits next to (1-3 inches from the vein) so check that as well
Bust up everything Down 3 ft… ✅🤣
Can't wait for the next video mate 👍🏴
You and me both!
I told you to go find that quartz vein... truly glad it panned out for you... now go get it! Just be mindful of mother nature ;)
That's the plan!
Well that's a good bucket,that gravel pit is pretty good dirt
I agree!
That was a great find!
Indeed!
Awesome find Jason! Im in WI as well. Took a trip to the source of my local river but no quartz yet. Btw, I use an aussie-style dolly pot to crush my ore. Got it from a welder dude in MT for $80. Works pretty fast with classifiers.
Keep lookin !! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I will keep looking. Inspired. Hey, Ive found that a cone chisel works really well to break up quartz.
I made a portable kit thats fits in my backpack to crush, classify and pansluice quartz in the field. When classified, under say 20mesh. Quartz is so easy to pan sluice. Can I email pics of my setup? I made a sweet duct tape classifier that is molded to my big pan. I also added 10mesh screen to cover the 1/4 inch classifer that comes with the big Garrett pan. This setup is made for your situation.
Yoooo. That dry bed. From last fall. Perfect after the rain.
Agree!!!
Great find there brother 🎉congrats 😊
Thanks 👍
Wow! I can’t wait to see how much will yield from that vein. I thought all the gold that is in Wisconsin came from further north.
Most probably does !
That's how it all starts, GOLD FEVER !!
Indeed 🤣🤣🤣🥵
Awesome Episode!
Very Educational and Entertaining!
Thanks
Much appreciated!
That’s so cool! Congrats on finding that quartz with gold! 🍻
Thanks 👍😃🍻✌️
True prospecting. The kids seem eager to learn.
They were definitely involved 🤣🐺🐕🦺🐕
Super cool find on the quartz seam ! The red stuff was interesting for sure!
Yes it was!
What you found at the gravel pit was interesting. It was cool seeing you crush that quartz. I have had lots of it with weird veins in it
It’s a long process but can definitely be worth the effort!
thats awesome! ive heard quarts has gold in it and seen a few pictures of it. think thats the first ive seen someone process it. that huge slab is such a cool find! think chris lilly would like it? lol
He would lay on it ✅🍻🍻🤣
Stay safe Mr.Wizard, it's raining cats and dogs here in the midwest.
Its always raining 🌧️
You are finding lots of new locations this year man. The gold sniffing dogs have it really zeroed in. Now to go deeper into that vein.
Those boys are on fire !!!🔥
Heck yeah nice video. You should come look for silver on Lake Michigan. The big King Salmon are starting to come to our side of the lake.
Delicious!!
That's so cool finding gold in the quartz that! ⛏️👍
Yes it was!
Jason and the dogs really give me the unbridled exploratory glee of a kid and his pets digging in the dirt for the first time, which is really remarkable given how long he's been at this. It brings a smile to my face to listen to him work.
I appreciate that !
@@SodaliteSabre yep, I find he’s genuine and shows the color he really finds (no added nuggets for show), the pile of little specks do add up yet it’s 100% realistic. I think the added fridge of wonder is a great touch and so “Jason.”
Great find
Thanks Larry!
I'm curious why you don't use a Gold Cube. Really good time watching your adventures! I'd love to see you turn that quartz vein into a gold mine!
I have tools that work as well with much less cons 😃✅
I like the look of your 10 inch I have a lot of black sand as well
It’s a nice contrast to the black sand!
Those hard-working miners were immediately there to assist you with a quick assay of the gold values.
My big helpers ! 🐺🐕🐕🦺
Minors are very different from miners! lol
@@shannon6876. I’m gonna need to exit that. I used voice to text. Kinda odd what it ass-umed.
@@shannon6876 and thank you.
the youngest is just an intern. :)
I can't wait tell the next one. Thanks Der Guy.
My pleasure der guy !
Wow did you ever strike a great hit. Great video
Agreed!
Very cool!
Thanks !
Ole Jeff Williams says if you find hard rock gold the gold gets bigger the deeper you go
Deeper ✅
@@FlourgoldWizards time to test the ground around the quartz deposits that's amazing being in Wisconsin
Nice find with the quartz, u deserve a PBR! 😊
Thanks! 😁🍻
Looks like jason is now a hard rock miner . Struck gold and other stuff . Time to stake mineral leases . Also tour the gravel pit operations to set up rag plants and strike up percentage deals . then bring on the PBR cobbles
Mostly the cobbles 😃🍻🍻🍻✅
Great job and always entertaining. Be safe and belly rubs around the garage.
Thanks! Will do!
Instead of "Hard Working Miner" it will be "Hard Rocking Miner". Some years ago a Geologist working for a Canadian Mining Company drilling East of Wausau Wisconsin for core samples (Reef Deposit) told me that pieces of Quartz Rock could be picked up on the surface in that area, had visible fine Gold.
Quartz hill ?
@@kurtbublitz7182 Forgot the name of the book, I think it was Boom Copper. About the copper boom, it mentioned lots of silver had been found. Surveyors on a small island in one of the lakes, found the rocks they were standing on, just off the shoreline in shallow water were NATIVE SILVER.
Damn brother I heard yall have been getting hammered with rain. We had a good downpour yesterday that was causing the river to rise today. Kinda hard to sluice when the water is coming up so fast. Ended up calling it an early day and grabbing some fridge bricks! Good luck out there and stay safe.
Also, do you use onX to map your routes and drop pins? I have a buddy in Nevada that swears by it for hunting the mountains. Figured I would ask.
I use google maps , it doesn’t get me exactly to the inch but close enough ✅
@@FlourgoldWizards makes sense... cheaper for sure
I am now back on YT duty after my Norway vacation and will comment again 👍🤠🍻
I hope your trip was good!
Great video
Thanks!
Mushroom was likely pleurotus pulmonarias (summer oyster). Would have to see the base of it to confirm.

Jason if you put your quartz specimens in the oven and put the oven as high as it will go and bake them for three or four hours. Take them out of the oven. dump them in a bucket of water. The ore will break up really good with much less effort. I built a bigger Rock crusher out of brush grinder. (Mulcher) All I had to do was close in the areas that let the chips of wood come out. Hooked up a Shop-Vac to the side shoot. The back picks up all the 100 - powder. Then you shut it down and open the bottom door and everything comes out. Generally I break it up to 3/4 - at first I didn't do that. Anything larger than 3/4 - was smacking against the housing and beating dents in it and it's not real thin metal. Mighty Mills are nice if you only want to test. If you end up opening that vein up. You definitely need something bigger than the mighty Mill. 🤔👍
Im looking at a slightly larger mill 😃
@@FlourgoldWizards Jason the one I built only cost me $130 dollars.
I saw the same mulcher on Facebook marketplace and it was $200 I have about a hundred and thirty pounds of ore I've been getting from California And honestly to tell you the truth The ore you have there is better than a lot that's being sold on eBay. I've got about 40 lb broke up small enough to put through the mill. If You want to come over to Minnesota, I can show you how it works and how I built it.
It will grind to 2 gallon bucket of ore in 15 minutes.
@@FlourgoldWizards
Jason I've decided to move west. I will be selling my rock crusher.
@@rick9297
High plains prospecting is gonna send me a nice one ! 👍🏻
I was at Nugget this weekend the creeks were almost unworkable I wore tennis shoes and shorts and was up to my crotch the first two days. On monday it was a little lower but you couldn't more around much as it was very strong current. I don't think I did very good, had to work it areas I could stand in without getting swept away. Also lost a yellow scoop but found a shovel while I was looking for it!
Hopefully it lets up before the outing !
That's how I get free gravel for my driveway, too.
🤣🤣🤣🍻✅
In some areas near you huge meteors struck and fractured the Earth. Meteor crator gold deposits can be some of the richest deposits on Earth. Most are deep underground in your region. Finding a surface outcrop rich in gold and possibly other precious metals is quite the luck. Area will likely get put off limits soon so get it while you can before the big guys step in.
They’ll never be allowed there 👍🏻🍻
Amazing Jason ! Great find and test run !
So glad you took my advice after you tossed that one back into the river !
To be honest I cringed a little when you Chris Lilly yourself.
Sweet revenge my friend.. Cobbles to you buddy 🍻
I hope the whole cliff is a Chris Lilly rock !!!
Jason, that orange color is most likely iron stains and the old saying is gold rides a iron horse
Thanks for the info!
Friggin cool
😎✅🍻🍻🍻
Mighty Small if i have to see it through a microscope lol 😂
But it’s flower Gold and it counts 😂😂👍🍻🍺🍺
Counts all day !!! 🤣✅🍻🍻🍻
Oyster mushroom! Good eating. Throw them in the pan after your steak is cooked.
✅✅✅✅✅😃
Looks like that Quartz vein is full of minerals. You have some crushing ahead of you. Have Fun. You will want to replace that bearing in that mighty Mill with a sealed one if you use it very much. I burned up mine in a week, they fill with dust.
Thanks for the info!
I’ve been here at nugget lake during the 400”of rain this weekend excluding the rain we found gold planning to come back next month about the18-21 and have more fun the creek was well over the bank put we had success and planning more trips shoutout to pelican rapids mn
That is awesome!
Exciting sweet secret shared 😮
Hope you enjoyed it! Can you believe someone knows where this is already???? 😭
@@FlourgoldWizards you don’t say 👀✌️
Awesome gold man ....go back that spot and get more haha😂👍✨️✨️✨️✨️💫💫💫💫Gold thats awesome man greetings from the Netherlands mr Jason👍
That's the plan!😃🐕🦺🐕🐺✅
I thought Seinfeld had the only show that was about nothing. Go West Young Man we find big nuggets out here and we don't tell anybody!
Nothing? The PBR alone is worth an Emmy…🍻🤣✌️
Nice looking chucks of quartz.
I'm sure you've got any valuable stuff out before you posted this.
Can't wait to see Rigby all bling'd out with a gold-studded collar.
We’ll be going back there…. 🤣🐕🐕🦺🐺
That’s definitely gold hell yea cobbles to ya 👍👍👍👍👍
Cobbles !!!
Oh, yeah. It's 🔨 time
For sure !!
AuSOME!!!
Yop 😃
nice gold keep digging
Thanks, will do!
Looks like some kind of oyster mushroom.
✅
Fresh Oyster Mushrooms. Pickem!
Heck yeah !!!
GET IT RIGBY
He always finds something!🐺⭐️🍻
for that small of a sample that's really rich.
I agree!
Oyster mushroom, very tasty! Mostly growing on Aspen trees.Sometimes can find in supermarkets. Could one break up quartz fine enough with only a hammer?
Yes but the mill works much better!
Omg.. omg... was starting to have wizard withdrawal... grab me a cold one and enjoy the adventure... cobbles maximus everyone... 😅
Cobbles Maximus !!!’
How come glacier till did not cover that up ask jeff Williams would smash that up and pan that out to see if any gold
Like we did ? 🧐
sand an gravel is big business au is extra bonus
It certainly is !
nice find Jason, good luck with it
Thanks Mark!
Well, the best explanation is that this is granite bedrock, as quartz rarely shoots a pipe, a dike, or a vein through lava basalt. As I suspect where you are (only you and I know), this appearance was scraped from the glacial age that happened with Ontario, Lake Superior, Wisconsin shoreline, up to the Central Mountain range. As such, this quartz vein is OLDER than the last glacial age (40,000 - 10,000 BCE). Since this is granite, and not sedimentary sandstone from the ancient shallow sea way of the Midwest and Canada, this bedrock is way older than any sedimentary sandstone that was broken up and ground back to sand, mud, clays, and silt by the glacier action.
The Western Interior Seaway (also called the Cretaceous Seaway, the Niobraran Sea, the North American Inland Sea, and the Western Interior Sea) was a large inland sea that split the continent of North America into two landmasses for 34 million years. The ancient sea, which existed from the early Late Cretaceous (100 Ma) to the earliest Paleocene (66 Ma), connected the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean. The two land masses it created were Laramidia to the west and Appalachia to the east. At its largest extent, it was 2,500 feet (760 m) deep, 600 miles (970 km) wide and over 2,000 miles (3,200 km) long.
So the seaway was 100 - 66 million years ago, this granite bedrock with quartz veins is as old or older than 66 - 100 + million years old.
You are definitely working some very old bedrock for Wisconsin !
As such, this gold is tectonic, and related to the many Canadian craton and the North American craton, and various plate tectonics of the past allowing this cracking and extrusion of quartz, quartzite, gold, etc.
This is definitely tectonic, inclusive of volcanism, but not evaporate gold dust from the Lake Superior bedrock. It is more like the Ontario Abitibi quartz and gold veins. But, it ~could~ be literally an extended veining and diking in association with the Abitibi gold veins !!! If one can mine out this quartz and quartzite, (just keep pulling it out and following in both directions where it appears, ... mill it, and process, then you might have a greater source of gold, than working alluvial gold in the creek, or the black sands on Lake Superior !!!
Now that’s a great mouthful!!! Thanks John 🤯
If your hands get clear bubbles on them and itch like the dickens, you might have poison ivy! I hope not! I love the quartz vein!
Yikes !!!!😱
Fly poop must've gotten it from pioneer Pauly
