      Only impurity is platinum in the bulk of the lode source in the Moretown formation, the Tyson iron complex hosts very coarse and beautiful gold also. Both of those test at 23.5k the majority of the glacial gold is 20k or less . I've done extremely well in new England as a whole.

      @@mikelouis9389Nope it's from Vermont it's in a quartz vein in serpentine and another in iron complex. You will not get the coarse lode gold from a glacial push. The vein source I'm working is 700ft up river on private property. I have access to it further up the mtn. On a feeder creek. Lol but theres still dang good maple syrup in Vermont lol

    Cool video man! I was born in the Dominican Republic which is super rich in gold. My grandpa's land had a river that crossed it, as a child we used to go crab hunting and my cousins and I would play and explore. My paw paw has awesome panning stories and taught us how to pan as kids! We didn't know the value at the time, but we sure value the memories and the fun adventure it all was. This video sure brought nice memories when we went gold hunting with paw paw. He is gone now, but he left us wonderful memories. Awesome video as always. We live vicariously through you Bryan! 😂⛏️💎👑

    You seemed surprised to find gold in Vermont, you may not get rich but there is still plenty enough to go around. Vermont did once have our own gold rush and there are several old mine locations. Plenty of gold in the streams. I live in Vermont, I'm 82 and have lived here my whole life, been rockhound since I was 9 or 10. I'm still out there collecting rocks and minerals.

    Thats about the same dirt as i am used to dealing with. If you look in the shadow of the toothpick , you will notice a bunch of little white shiny spots show up. That is platinum from catalytic convertors , finding their way to low areas and settling on bedrock...im sure you can find the same in north carolina. The more traffic , the higher the concentrations.
