Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Very Merry Christmas from PA.
@@JacobE-23 thanks Jacob and you too
That's so awesome! I miss the days when I was able to mine. I loved it! I'm a broken man, now... my body just won't tolerate the punishment.
For all of you who are able, please don't take tomorrow for granted, enjoy life while you can, for there are no promises of tomorrow.
Blessings to you all!
Thank you, Jeff. I love watching your videos.
thanks and you betcha
You can bet those Old Timers would have loved to have a metal detector that detects Gold.
At about 15:30 Jeff's gold fever kicks in super hard and builds to the point where he completely looses the ability to use his fine motor skills.
And for that reason I'm sending you my camera man.
I fever burns strong .....thanks
@@Askjeffwilliams I saw the bit flick out as you were scraping and though "he didn't see that".
Sure enough, mayhem ensued. Lol
Man we have all been there. Rational thought leaves and gold fever kicks in
I really want to go prospecting. I even got my metal detector and pinpointer for Christmas, but I'm going to admit that I'm a little scared of catching gold fever; I've heard it's a real thing 😬
Those nuggets are huge!!!! Im dying from gold fever Jeff. You're killing me with these amazing finds.
There’s only one “Mad Miner” and that would be Mr. Jeff… he keeps me laughing
You're the hardest working hard rock miner on YT, Jeff. Totally compelling viewing!
thanks
The way I see it. He deserves every speck of glitter that comes out of that chasm...... Just wanted to say thanks for taking us along on this amazing adventure. I imagine there's a bunch of old fellows in wheelchairs with not much else going on in life, and you just gave him one of the biggest thrills they've had in quite a while. As for me, I'm 15 minutes away from Lytle Creek.... The dog and I gonna go Find a big quartz vein to dig around.
thanks and you betcha
That was the best 30mins of entertainment I’ve seen in ages, can relate to the GM frustrations reminded me of every monster session I literally said gold monsters need a better tripod arrangement for laying them down, then you said it too ✌🏼 Merry Christmas Jeff I dont get as much time to see all your videos like I wish I could but I’m Damn glad I seen this one cheers mate all the best with the new year.
though I had some problem with sea water It also ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
wow ....glad to hear that Natalie
You're the smartest most educated educating guy on YT, by a long shot... nobody even close !!! 😎👍
Thank you Jeff you and your family made my year a Happy one and I wish you many more be blessed and keep up the good work
I appreciate how much work you put in, not just to make the videos, but to dig that gold!
Roy would be doing the Gold Fever jig right about now, really wish he was still with us to see and feel it in person, but he now has the best vantage point ever, he sure as heck is smiling down upon you guys. That was brilliant Jeff, persistence and determination pointed you in the right direction buddy. Merry Christmas to you, Lila, Nevada Jack and the rest of your family. Stay safe and enjoy the holidays mate, and I look forward to another year of mine working and explorations with every video you release. Take care mate.
Hi Jacques, I think so too ...... I do too my friend .....thanks and you too mate .....
😳😳😳😧😇
Love the Energy Brother! Merry Christmas to you aswell and a Happy New Year!
Happy holidays and Felix Navidad Jeff and family. I’ve been following and learning for years now, and it’s been an education.
Glad to see you retired the pistol but I miss Slim. Still, I’ve watched you and your product grow and I’m envious of those lucky enough to hang out with you.
Keep up with the geology classes, they’re refreshing amongst “...all this craziness.!” Here’s to a safe and productive 2022.😎🙏🏻
Awesome adventure Jeff, thanks for taking us along. Happy holidays and can't wait for the next one.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your wife. Hope that your Holiday Season is Golden. Thanks for sharing and teaching. Looking forward to another year of great videos and testing your teachings.
you too my friend and thanks
Thank you so much for bringing us with you, it was so enjoyable watching you dig!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congrats on the nuggets and the excitement continues to build! I do believe it's time for some real explosives, and not just the beans... Be safe and Merry Christmas Jeff to you, the Family and all of our Community! Keep living the Dream and we are here with you for 2022!!!
Jeff, those nuggets were so massive -- they were throwing off your instruments -- but that's a good thing !
I think we can safely say that: "You're on the gold."
It's a very good bet that you're still layers above the primary pay zone -- and a whopper it will be.
I like big juicy nuggets. And yeah you are going to get (WET)
Nice nuggets Jeff, way to go, and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas, Jeff, you have progressed so much! I've been following you from Irak for 7 years!
thanks for following us for so long ....Slim keeps me on my toes ...Lol
I bet alot of people call you lucky. When really they're just mistaken. They're mistaking your geological intelligence for luck. You know exactly what you're doing and it shows!
thanks
Excellent adventure Jeff, thank for bringing us along! Have a safe and awesome Christmas!
thanks and you betcha ....you too my friend
Very cool! Congrats! Really enjoying this series and learning.
Absolutely stunning my friend! What a moment. Congratulations and great job.
Congrats Jeff,your dad is smiling down on you. Awesome find. Merry Christmas to you and the mrs’s.
Merry Christmas Jeff ! Thank you very much for a very informative and entertaining year! If you ever put that collapseable shaft on that monster you will see a HUGE difference on how much easier it is to work in those tight spaces. Stay safe and Thanks again.
you betcha Craig ....... gotta try that
I promise you wont regret it. It will be game changer for you. Fantastic gold by the way! Thanks Jeff
@@Askjeffwilliams or just use your pinpointer like the rest of us
Yes, telescoping shaft works great. I have one on my monster, makes it very versatile.
I wasn’t really sure of that method, but I was really hoping that grout would work. Never heard of that method. That’s why I love this channel. It’s constantly teaching me new things. Merry Christmas, Jeff. Best of health and luck next year.
we were too and we will give it another shout so we know for sure if it would work or not
@@Askjeffwilliams what if you had drilled a single hole in the middle of that spot but didn't grout it? i was thinking if you could drill a disable hole there all the pressure would lead towards it. and, maybe you could use a diamond saw to make a grid or lines of slots to score the surface a couple inches deep. or, maybe you could use the saw and make cuts you could then wedge apart using hydraulics. lots os possible ways i can think of to do it. but, you would know best all things considered.
Congratulations Jeff, that's the stuff of dreams and a very Merry Christmas to you.
Very entertaining man! I was frustrated and then thrilled to find the nuggets right along with you.
Try leaving every other hole empty, giving somewhere for the pressure to go. Might make fracturing the rock easier.
we will try that
@@Askjeffwilliams I think you'll need more than every other hole. Maybe like 12 holes an inch apart in a roughly circular pattern. Basically Swiss cheese a 8 - 10 inch diameter patch in the center of that area you want to break up.
Fill the outer holes with the grout and pop out a hole. Then work outward from that hole... more drilling, but it would work.
Do you any recommendations on books how or where to find gold?
This so reminds me of some of the work I’ve done and how frustrated I would get because of tools in the way, too far away or in a pit and not having the tool at all and then having to get repositioned. I feel your pain Brother!
Merry Christmas to Jeff and your family
so awsome==looks fun,,,merry christmas jeff williams
2 minutes in- THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING! Thanks Jeff, merry christmas
Tough conditions trying to find gold, filming everything at the same time and setting up lights in such a confined space! I'm a bit jealous because every loud target you dig is a massive nugget! Would love to see if you find a solution for the dexpan. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to You and Yours !
nice work.
Hi Jeff ,have a great Holiday and New Year . Love Your Show .
Thanks, you too!
Wow nice nuggets!! That was some rush finding them with you 🤩🤩 incredible!! Merry Christmas Jeff ⚒👍🏻🏴
thanks and you to
Happy New Years Jeff when they say you're the best around they mean it brother! Nice work as always God bless heavy pans!!!
thanks Jonathan
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years, Thank you for the excellent videos, and I'm sorry that you lost your dad.
I was trying to learn how to replace the stater in my motorcycle and somehow I stumbled on to your channel. I've watched 3 of your videos knowing not the first thing about goldmining and have been captivated. You are really good at what you do and an even better video maker. I can't wait to show my kids your channel. I wish I could afford to be a premium supporter and hopefully soon I will be able to help support your work. Keep doing what you're doing, it's really fun watching you.
Awesome, thank you!
Jeff you're the hardest working man I ever seen. It's impressive and inspiring
thanks
Your the man Jeff your doing the exact thing I would love to do for a living following our dreams.keep us strong this passion and lifestyle we are. And there's nothing better than to find and harvest mother nature's treasures. You inspire me in many ways sir keep on digging and being your kick ass self. Much respect and appreciation for your video school. Merry Christmas and happy new years let this be a very lucky and rewarding time for you.
20:20 I swear, That tension and suspense, like watching a thriller in the movie theatre
Awesome find! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Jeff….you are a treasure sir! I very much enjoy your sense of humor, energy and intelligence as a Geologist!
Very nice it's nice that you have a producing mine there's a of times it was a Gamble .It always amazes me the struggles that the oil-timers went through to produce a nine high in the mountains
Merry Christmas and happy new year, great 👍 Jeff
MERRY CHRISTMAS JEFF!! Nice Job Buddy!! Great Results 2!! Cheers JJ
Jeff you work so hard on your videos, you are awesome.
I appreciate that!
Hello Jeff , best wishes and a Merry Christmas to you and your family !!!
Many thanks for the videos during the lockdown, they really helped, hope your mine will produce a bonanza for you soon,
Good luck for the coming Year
Merry Christmas Jeff. That wasn't one day's worth of work. That was all the days leading up to today's worth of work and it paid off. Hope it continues.
Merry Christmas and as always great show Jeff. Heavy pans. Monster nuggs
Too bad about all that drillin but those nuggets are awesome! Sure was fun watching you dig out the twins.
Merry Christmas Jeff. To you and your family
Love watching your videos. You certainly are a minor with the know how. Love ya bro
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Awesome find! 😎
Oh man just what we needed merry Christmas to you and yours from my pops and I
Merry Christmas Jeff and Family. Great health to all. Damn Sonny Jim look at the size of your nuggets...
thanks and you too Jeremy .....thats what she said hahahahaha
My experience with the ecobust (dexpan) was very similar. A useful tool under the right circumstances but definitely not my first choice.
Love the energy and education of your channel!!
thanks
Those two were awesome nuggets.....! Merry Christmas Jeff & Wife.......! =)
Merry Christmas Jeff,Slim and your gorgeous heart of gold Lady, all the best from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏,, and yeah, we got gold, an you know it, so ,, c'mon Jeff, how about an adventure over here, if you do, choose the winter season, all the best regards again
thanks , really appreciate that .....we are working on getting over that way ....just have to wait for the " all clear "
Hey Jeff! Awesome work! Something you may want to consider is using a hydraulic ram to break through that Caliche like butter. Here’s a video from the funny and amazing Colin Furze, he built a tunnel though rock between his shed and his house. Here’s the video showing the hydraulic ram he used and he shows how to build it in his other videos. Time stamp 3:13 ua-cam.com/video/WIe5GKyLPek/v-deo.html have a great night!
Awesome Jeff! Merry 🎄!!!
Merry Christmas Jeff and to your better half, I almost forgot Slim. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Congratulations on you finds, looks like you may be closer to the source with nuggets of that size. Calichie behaves like cement, or a ceramic it will only fail (crack) in tension if its in compression it will not fail. I'd shoot it like a tunnel blast out some where for it to go then kick the edges, have you tried a couple of shallow blasts to ablate the surface in a couple of shots. E.g 2 ft hole do it 2x or attempt to get the powder under the layer and try to lift it with the blast.. Or just flood the mine with acid and hope it breaks it down...
exactly ....we were thinking that too so we need wedge cuts to create space to move to
@@Askjeffwilliams if you go back to the expanding grout try using a fairly close drill pattern and only fill every other hole to try to get the crack to propagate to the empty hole
Caliche is mud mixed with limestone, so yeah, just like cement lol. Mild muriatic acid is great for getting it off of metals, just dont let it sit for more than about 15 minutes
Those two nuggets are the stuff prospector's and miner's dreams are made of. There aint' no cure for gold fever, and even if there was no one would take it.
More AU
Merry Christmas Jeff luv your video and your excitement wishing you and yours all the best from Oregon
Same to you!
Merry Christmas Jeff, have a healthy and prosperous New Year.
thanks and you too
Ohhhh I hope this isn't click bait. I hope you actually found something that big
Trust me ...it's click bait...SO C'MON...Let's GO! (Slim made him do it)
I'm willing to bet there's been excessive use of photoshop in that thumbnail =P
It has to be thats fkn massive and Jeff shouldn't need to do this its getting weird 😐
Hey you bastards don't be mean to my papa...little bit of cockbait never hurt anyone, we all gotta eat son...so yeah you gonna get wet xx
Yeah, I watched for half an hour expecting the massive nugget from the thumbnail. It makes the nuggets he actually found look small by comparison. 😠
Literally on the edge of my seat the whole time !!!!!!your energy is unmatched Brother! I will 100% come down and mine with you. I am a hard worker and physically able to bust up some rock I am certified in mine safety and can handle this work all day everyday. I have the means and the ability. Let me know good sir it would be an honor to listen and work with you.
You need a pin pointer.
Broke my screen smashing that like button. :) Thanks for the vid!
Merry Christmas to you and your Clan also Jeff. :)
Isn't it amazing how different those beeps sound when you're detecting and when it's measuring some tool flying by? It's all in the ear of the beholder, and what's going on at the time. 🙂
Just my take, but I would have picked that jackhammer back up after about the 3rd or 4th hand hammer attempt at that hole. I think investing in some 'all' plastic lights might be a good idea.
exactly
I love your videos. Hoping you and your family had a wonderful christmas. I am looking into buying my own gold mine now by spring.
thanks and thats great ...you too Donna
Amazing Jeff! Well done buddy!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Merry Christmas Jeff !!!!
Jeff, I really can't praise your new format enough. You're a wealth of information (no pun intended) and it's funny to be cartoonish, but you really are a good science communicator. Learning about geography is cool when it's presented in as exciting of a format as finding gold. Thanks for making this adjustment to your videos. (last time I watched was years ago 5+)
thanks, really glad you like the new format
Merry Christmas 🎄
Jeff and wife, and slim.
Just come across your video a little late but I sure enjoyed it Jeff. You're a hard-working man.
thanks and welcome aboard
I'm a surveyor. We use metal dectors to find property pins. Some advice: Move the detector slowly and methodically. You'll be able to pin point your target's location
not gonna happen. this guys in it for the big ones and misses everything smaller than a half ounce. i like digital gold. like bitcoin. or pulsechain
Happy new year Jeff may the gold shine and shimmer
thanks and you to
Dude, you are my hero. EPIC prospecting... Cant wait this start this amazing hobby...
Merry Christmas Jeff!
Hi Jeff missed you're videos for a little while I'm glad to see this it made my day
Welcome back!
Absolutely amazing place !! Love it !! 😄
Those nuggets are Monsters. Nice work Jeff. Keep the awesome videos coming. Love your work.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
