You have not sold out. You run a business. This is what it takes to give us great content. Out of the four I’d say Lightning Quartz. Thanks Jason. I’m sure I can say we all appreciate everything you do, I do 🍻👍
A Gold mine is a BUSINESS, an interesting business. Jason is allowing us to see how that business is carried out. In the process he has gained loyal subscribers. In the final analysis the object of any business is to make money. I would like to say that the VAST majority of Jason's subscribers would just LOVE to see Jason make a LUCKY STRIKE and and bring a PILE of gold out of that mine. Lord knows that Jason would deserve that reward for his lifestyle of HARD WORK!!!!! as for the naysayers, they're just jealous. but they fail to comprehend that Jason works his freaking tail off. Any money Jason gets, he richly deserves.
I’m sorry you feel like you need to apologize for earning money from your hard labor. Some people are just nuts man, you won’t ever please them. It’s clear you’re a very hard-working dude. You’ve earned every bit of it and it shows.
I'd rather see him crush it up himself and get the gold out of it. But if it people want to buy it. I don't see why not. He might even make a loss on it if some of the bags are very rich. Money now and reinvest is usually better than money later and bills didn't get paid.
I would like to see a large sample crushed and processed . I get he is paying for next year but you can’t be mad at people who watch a mining channel to see gold and all we see is what you can get if you buy a sample. The whole series is about how rich it is….. well let’s see it. I’ve been watching Jason for a long time on both channels and I’m here for him and his personality. I also want to see the gold
@@dodgeit3014 You're just another one of the "instant gratification" crowd, this is the FIRST lot of ore taken from the mine, the FIRST, and you're whining about it......
I would combine the last two names and call it Mt Baker Lightning Lace. You've got nothing to apologize for, Jason. You created content that most on this channel were looking for in the first place. You are on a journey of discovery. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!!
Jason, you don't need to justify yourself, continu the way you think is best suited for your reality, you'r doing good! If your mine collapse this winter, who will give you money? You take big risk and we want to help you and buying your stuff give me a part of your journey and bring me joy so don't focus on those who pay nothing and only critic. Thx Jason!
@@JasonPutschker-xw9uf ummm but you actually can though... opal is opal but it has a different name depending on where it's found hence, lightning ridge opal.
@@JasonPutschker-xw9uf Not wrong but not right either. Cool thing about mineralization is the uniqueness. Guy is selling a product, giving it a name makes sense. As does the name being something that reflects where its from.
@@JasonPutschker-xw9ufOf course you can; people name stuff after localities all the time. Tanzanite is just a locality of zoisite with a more marketable name. Yooperlite is just sodalite. Herkimer diamonds are just doubly-terminated quartz crystals from New York.
It has been an incredible 16-part journey with you, Jason, you have given so many amateur prospecting communities, solo prospectors, and so many others the chance to see how its was done and give a look into the lives of past miners, also the education on drilling, blasting, timbering, and every other aspect you and the guys in this series have been able to cover has helped a lot to give me more perspective Oh, and filiming others while they work really is the best job😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing Jason . Having a gold mine that can actually produce gold has got to be a dream come true. I know it would be for me . Great video thanks .
Jason, I really like the videos. Put your stuff forsale. Hopefully there are a lot of people that want it. Selling out would be to hoard all the gold and the videos 🤭🤭🤭. The scenery is part of the experience you give us too. Share your lunch time with us also and give us some more lessons. The mining videos are very informative, in and out of the mine. I really liked seeing a vein running outside of the mine that was part of the vein inside. Drilling,blasting and mucking looks easy from my easy chair. You have been working like a man, great to be apart of it even if I am only watching it. Make sure you attach as much history and stories to the items. A bit of it on a card included with the items. The history is very interesting. Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
Congratulations on that nice little bead you worked for. The slabs that were cut are gorgeous rock, even without the gold pieces. Its a great way to show how gold resides before it's dispersed.
Yeah i agree it does look cool big enough slabs would make excellent tile cuts if you could get them big enough would look great installed around a fireplace or a kitchen backsplash
I would love to see how much gold was in the the tile cutting troff. Also how cool would it be just to see one entire pallet put though the shaker table. And refined. 🤑
There is a shallow pan filled with water in that tile saw. after making several cuts there will be some VERY fine material in that pan. Any gold in that material would be FLOUR! I've done some DIY tile jobs.
Jason is the living history of mining in America - something that many would take up in person if they had the opportunity. He brings (via his YT channel) a vicarious experience in hard rock mining. That he provides ore samples, unsearched bags of pay dirt, high grade gold samples and attractive sawn samples is the response of a good purveyor of superb customer service to his audience. Doing so at a profit is a match to those who took on risk, wagered on the unproven ground that echoes those who have gone before - generations of prospectors.
Ice purchased multiple bags and am nothing but happy with what I've received. I've found a ton of VG specimens and the rest make great tumbling rocks! Very happy!!
Jason I would be interested in seeing you run the slurry from your wet saw on the shaker table. I grew up running a Target wet saw for my Dad who was a brick Mason. There's always a thick layer of sludge at the bottom of the tray after a day of cutting.
Jason, I can never say this enough. You have a mine full of gold! All these videos I have watched, this is an exception to the rule. So happy for you. These slabs show that you are on a jackpot. I hope all other prospectors, like Dan and Harry, find the same thing! Unbelievable. I guess I missed hearing about the naming of the skabs, and now the vote. When you cut and showed the very first stand alone slab, the name popping into my head was "Golden Godess." Maybe you will have another slab that could be named that. However, the names to choose from is do very fitting and I can't wait to see what everyone votes on! It will be awesome 😎 The gold bead was so bright yellow, would you consider that as 22 or 24 k? It was so reflective, that for a split second, you could see the reflection of the camera. At least that is what my eyes saw.... As always, thank you for sharing your gold ore with us! It is amazing to see the specimens, slabs and smelting process. Save up all your energy over the winter months. You're really going to need it! Blessings from Alabama ❤️
Yes, Jason, i agree with the others. A separate video detailing costs of this mining venture to date would be valuable knowledge for those of us wannabe gold miners. Additionally it would help us define the whole process better to have it all documented.
One 25 lbs. bag wasn’t enough for me, so i have a second one on the way. Ive washed everything and classified it according to the sifters i have. Going to need to improvise a rock crusher. My diamond MK 10” tile saw is going to help me cut some slabs. I thank you for putting your hard work into bags and putting them up for sale. Knowing where your product has come from makes it a true gem. Keep on with what you’re doing , we/ I appreciate you and your channel.
Have you ever gone to Alaska? I lived there for 25yrs and my 2nd wife's Dad had 9 40 acre claims. The claims were mining areas from the late 1800's. He just mined the tailings from the old mines. We had a 1950 Oliver tractor with mechanical dump an 8 foot grizzly and a 20ft sluce. We ran 2 4" pumps. I spent a couple weeks with him and learned alot. We got mostly little nuggets. I took my metal detector and ran it around one afternoon and found a nugget the size of the tip of your baby finger. Great fun unfortunately He died the 3rd year I was married and his daughter divorced 2 years after that. I took 2 buckets home from the slice and pulled out just shy of 1 and half Oz. I'm retired now but have friends up there and they spend the summers mining and do pretty good 👍 Your videos sure bring back the fever 😊
Hey Jason! You are killing it! It's so nice seeing Baker, Shuksan, and occasionally the Sisters in your landscape shots. I miss them. My only two cents for your channel moving forward: *As a largely audio listener* Maybe pick some instrumental you like (don't care what genre, that's your call!) to play over your mining/drilling/general labor time lapses? I love having you on in the headphones while working and every now and then I get confused by a silence and then rapid mining noises DiResta Style. Again, just my two cents!
I kind of love and hate this video. Lol. The fact that you've found a way to take gold ore, and make it more valuable than the gold it contains is brilliant! And I really want to buy a big cut piece just to put up on a shelf somewhere. But I really want to see that whole pile of ore go through the crusher and across the shaker table in one video too. Keep up the great work man!
I have purchased 125 lbs of this stuff and when the processing is complete I predict I will have hundreds of VG specimens of varying quality (I search everything down to 1/4 inch). Great stuff...
Wooo!! I just snagged slab #7 today!! Waited alll week long and set my alarm to be in town to win it! (No phone signal at my place). I'm thrilled and honored to own a piece of your mine and be able to help support your adventures. Thank you so much for the videos, for the goods to buy, and for being so dang handsome haha! Merry Christmas and thanks from Sam in Monroe, WA!
I vote to name the ore Jasonite you deserve it, and it makes me feel good , I will always remember you when I hear that word. My great aunt was tough as nails and she had a rock saw like you and she was a heavy duty prospector and rock hound. She made tons of stuff and it was beautiful . Gold ore , thin slices of jade in front of a light was great, agates in a jar with a bright light in the center. You should try some thin jade with bright lights behind it I think it would sell quite well .
Jason I think you are doing a great job. I love your show very much. Don’t listen to a bunch of no nonsense crap. If that is all they can come up with. Then I would block them and be done with them. But you do what you got to do. I am behind you 100 %. Merry Christmas to you and your’s. May you guy’s Christmas be filled with love and joy. Mississippi out.❤❤👍🙏🙏
Hey, Jason. I bought one of your bags of material from your mine on ebay. Wanted to publicly say I'm satisfied with the purchase. I haven't been able to do anything with it yet because shortly after it arrived, I tore my lower biceps tendon and so it will have to sit on the shelf for some time before I can process it. I did, however, pull one rock out of the bag and wash it in my gold pan and am pleased to say that there was fly poop in the dust on that particular piece. So yeah, I'm happy.😊
Very cool stuff I know your also getting logs and even saw some slabs I feel adding some local wood like a piece of big leaf maple might be cool. If I come up with something I'll share.
have you ever thought about dissolving the quartz with acid to get good gold specimens out ? would be cool if u found a big piece in the rock and got it out intanct!
Don't apologize, there will always be haters. I have already bought one 25lb bag of muck..great stuff. I just sent an offer for a second. Have had fun going through, classifying, slicing and viewing the muck. Yes I have found gold. I do lapidary and hope to find some niece pieces for cabs. Everything else I will try and crush, don't have a crusher but will find a way then I will pan it out. I have saved all the dirt that came in the bag as well. Great fun, thanks Jason for giving us a chance at some of your gold.
Hello Jason, I love watching all of your videos. I have lived in Oklahoma all my life. There is no place in Oklahoma to pan for gol I always wanted to go gold panning or prospecting. I have bought bags of paydirt and panned them at home. I have never been afraid of hard work. I have learned so much watching your videos. I hope I can buy some of the gold ore you're selling on eBay soon. Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for all the information you post on UA-cam
Really? Some folks are bothered that you're selling stuff from the mine? 😂 C'mon man is all I got for them. Very excited to see what the next mining season holds for ya Jason.
Hello Jason, a suggestion to loading the bags onto your Pickup, put a chute along side your platform and have removeable tracks that go to it so all you have to do is pick the bags from the cart to the chute
Hi Jason, Christmas greetings from Australia 42 degrees Celcius here the other day. Have you thought about doing a continuity test through some of your slabs with a multimeter? Worth more.🤩
My daughter once asked me how you decided what something is worth. I answered that it depends on what people are willing to pay for it. Same holds for 20 tons of rock with a little gold in it. I hope the u-Tubers are willing to pay a lot more than the value of the gold in what you were able to get out of that Mine. Kind of reminds me of the Pet Rock fad. Best wishes for your enterprise.
Hey Jason, I finished processing the first 9 lbs of ore from the 25 lb sample. I screened everything to 1/2 minus, then screened to 10 mesh. Everything bigger than 10 mesh, I ran through the chain mill. I must say I was very surprised at the size of some of the gold. Very nice pickers in the pan! I will try to post a picture. looking forward to crushing the rest! Thank you 😊. All the best in your mining endeavors. Tom
Beautiful! I could make some Navajo Jewelry with those stones. The railroad ties I grind and use as an anvil. Great video as usual & great idea on selling some of those pieces! I'll be taking a look for sure!
Nice stuff, Jason. I vote for Jasonite. I also hope you're panning the dregs from your saw box. From the looks of it, every cut produced a bit of pulverized gold.
I recently ordered a nice slabbed chunk of ore and a 25lb bag of ore. Found some beautiful color in a couple of the slabs, and I'm excited to crush and pan the rest of the ore. Great stuff!!!
You're right Jason, the world's universal system of measurement is the metric system and it's better than the US customary units of measurement? Why does the US have to be different from the rest of the world when it comes to the metric system? Well it may be better, but it just doesn't come naturally for an American thinker. Love your gold, precious metal's and the mineralogy education you're always teaching us, Jason. ThankQ Jason for the entertainment and educational experience your videos present for us. I think I can speak for everyone, we're all grateful to you for the hard work you put into bringing your life's work to us. It's definitely hard to make your videos for all to enjoy. ❤👍🏻
So great this and it seems you have consistent essay on your new mine. I think you totally agree, I think it's BALLMILL TIME! You could also rerun al your tailings.
Nice ore! Looks like a great mine! Love seeing it coming out of the cascades, used to do some hjnting and fishing being born in Seattle and raised in Tumwater. I recall panning in a credk that flows from the top of tumwater hill. We found no shiney but after a bunch of years near Coloma , Ca. I found a bit of shiney! I love seeing you doing the mine. Ive also played at a tiny bit of prospecting near Daloniga, Ga.

Jason... this channel has majorly grown on me as far as my favorite mining/prospecting channel... Thank you for sharing your adventures with us

Jason this is the best one!❤
Love the idea of Rail, spike and gold ore. Agreed on Mt.Baker lightning quartz
Just fantastic Jason. Have a fantastic Christmas for you and your family.
This is the one I've been waiting for! All your content is good. I even enjoyed watching you and the crew filling up potholes.
I love to see you doing well, which is only down to your hard work & your hard won knowledge.
That deep silver/gold mine search was a sketchy adventure,
but
I've really been looking forward to this one,
Cheers,
Rik Spector
I would love to see an all out crush and run it all and make that 10 oz gold bar! Go big!
Love seeing the gold shine through the faces of those slabs. 🎉
Can't wait for a big crush from the mine!
Jason is the living history of mining in America - something that many would take up in person if they had the opportunity. He brings (via his YT channel) a vicarious experience in hard rock mining. That he provides ore samples, unsearched bags of pay dirt, high grade gold samples and attractive sawn samples is the response of a good purveyor of superb customer service to his audience. Doing so at a profit is a match to those who took on risk, wagered on the unproven ground that echoes those who have gone before - generations of prospectors.
Ice purchased multiple bags and am nothing but happy with what I've received. I've found a ton of VG specimens and the rest make great tumbling rocks! Very happy!!
wow nice recovery. MB Lightning Quartz, fitting name!
Love the one inch sieving of the Kilogram sample!
Good stuff Jason! Congrats. Are you going to do a large ore processing video where you process several tons on this ore?
THATS WHAT IM SAYING 😂

Thoes slabs would make some very cool coaster. Great job Jason
I really like the rail idea! Though, I'm surprised that you haven't salvaged any to reuse in the mine. Love the videos man keep'em coming!
Hey Jason!
You are killing it! It's so nice seeing Baker, Shuksan, and occasionally the Sisters in your landscape shots. I miss them.
My only two cents for your channel moving forward:
*As a largely audio listener*
Maybe pick some instrumental you like (don't care what genre, that's your call!) to play over your mining/drilling/general labor time lapses?
I love having you on in the headphones while working and every now and then I get confused by a silence and then rapid mining noises DiResta Style.

Bro don't worry about what ppl might think. You do you and people will always watch. ❤
Looking forward to seeing the mass processing of ore.
I have purchased 125 lbs of this stuff and when the processing is complete I predict I will have hundreds of VG specimens of varying quality (I search everything down to 1/4 inch). Great stuff...
Lmao you poor bastard. Get back to us when you realize you wasted x amount of dollars for $0.75 worth of gold dust 😂
You have a dream and you are going for it. Go for it! You're doing good.
Wooo!! I just snagged slab #7 today!! Waited alll week long and set my alarm to be in town to win it! (No phone signal at my place).

Good morning, Jason Heavy pans to Ya ! Merry Christmas to all. 🎄Greetings from southwestern Oregon and the Gold Hill mining district. ⛏⚒⛏
I vote to name the ore Jasonite you deserve it, and it makes me feel good , I will always remember you when I hear that word. My great aunt was tough as nails and she had a rock saw like you and she was a heavy duty prospector and rock hound. She made tons of stuff and it was beautiful .

You should try some thin jade with bright lights behind it I think it would sell quite well .
I've been waiting for the results. I'd like to see you chrush and process a ton
That’s pretty awesome mate the Jasonite pillars look fantastic top job cheers
Hey Jason! You deserve Mt Baker Lightning Quartz.
Jason I think you are doing a great job. I love your show very much. Don’t listen to a bunch of no nonsense crap. If that is all they can come up with. Then I would block them and be done with them. But you do what you got to do. I am behind you 100 %.
Merry Christmas to you and your’s. May you guy’s Christmas be filled with love and joy.
Mississippi out.❤❤👍🙏🙏
Cascade Iron Lace imo because that's where we are and what it looks like . great series ! time to get into tile cutting again.
Hey, Jason. I bought one of your bags of material from your mine on ebay. Wanted to publicly say I'm satisfied with the purchase. I haven't been able to do anything with it yet because shortly after it arrived, I tore my lower biceps tendon and so it will have to sit on the shelf for some time before I can process it. I did, however, pull one rock out of the bag and wash it in my gold pan and am pleased to say that there was fly poop in the dust on that particular piece. So yeah, I'm happy.😊
always wondered if you ever checked your mine for silver, platinum, and palladium?
Cool rocks/ideas for souvenirs.
From working in the mine to working at your processing center. Congratulations! I'd buy a bag, but I'm too old and decrepit. Fun to watch though!
Definitely Mt Baker Lightning Quartz. 💪👍
Jason, you need to put some giant googly eyes on the crusher!
Very cool stuff I know your also getting logs and even saw some slabs I feel adding some local wood like a piece of big leaf maple might be cool. If I come up with something I'll share.
have you ever thought about dissolving the quartz with acid to get good gold specimens out ? would be cool if u found a big piece in the rock and got it out intanct!
Two or four smaller slabs with felt on the bottom would make excellent beverage coasters!
Don't apologize, there will always be haters. I have already bought one 25lb bag of muck..great stuff. I just sent an offer for a second. Have had fun going through, classifying, slicing and viewing the muck. Yes I have found gold. I do lapidary and hope to find some niece pieces for cabs. Everything else I will try and crush, don't have a crusher but will find a way then I will pan it out. I have saved all the dirt that came in the bag as well. Great fun, thanks Jason for giving us a chance at some of your gold.
Iv been watching you now for year and I really enjoy this new content. You should invite Jeff Willams to come to your mine.
Thanks Jason this is definitely a great mine I can't wait to see what you get from the rest of the bags six stars brother
Hello Jason,
I love watching all of your videos. I have lived in Oklahoma all my life. There is no place in Oklahoma to pan for gol I always wanted to go gold panning or prospecting. I have bought bags of paydirt and panned them at home. I have never been afraid of hard work.
I have learned so much watching your videos. I hope I can buy some of the gold ore you're selling on eBay soon. Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for all the information you post on UA-cam
Great video and an excellent series
Golden Dalmation Rock, Ty for taking us along
Cool looking stuff!! Hope it does well!!
I really enjoyed the video and I never skip forward to the next bit. Keep on doing what you are doing Jason
Has Dan. Moved in with you I think he's going to be come a hard rock Miner 😊😊😊
Really? Some folks are bothered that you're selling stuff from the mine? 😂 C'mon man is all I got for them. Very excited to see what the next mining season holds for ya Jason.
you ant so anything without being criticized.. That's the world we live in....you have to do what you have to do dispite
Hello Jason, a suggestion to loading the bags onto your Pickup, put a chute along side your platform and have removeable tracks that go to it so all you have to do is pick the bags from the cart to the chute
Hi Jason, Christmas greetings from Australia 42 degrees Celcius here the other day. Have you thought about doing a continuity test through some of your slabs with a multimeter? Worth more.🤩
The name of it doesn't really matter they are beautiful that's what really matters. Very nice work Jason. ✌️❤️🍺
My daughter once asked me how you decided what something is worth. I answered that it depends on what people are willing to pay for it. Same holds for 20 tons of rock with a little gold in it. I hope the u-Tubers are willing to pay a lot more than the value of the gold in what you were able to get out of that Mine. Kind of reminds me of the Pet Rock fad. Best wishes for your enterprise.
I have an idea.. Jason's golden slab mini domino set. That would be first of it's kind
Hey Jason, I finished processing the first 9 lbs of ore from the 25 lb sample. I screened everything to 1/2 minus, then screened to 10 mesh. Everything bigger than 10 mesh, I ran through the chain mill. I must say I was very surprised at the size of some of the gold. Very nice pickers in the pan! I will try to post a picture. looking forward to crushing the rest! Thank you 😊. All the best in your mining endeavors. Tom
Beautiful! I could make some Navajo Jewelry with those stones. The railroad ties I grind and use as an anvil. Great video as usual & great idea on selling some of those pieces! I'll be taking a look for sure!
That's what I'm talking about! MBLQ no doubt! Lol! We will be here...⚒️💪🤙🤠🎄
Nice stuff, Jason. I vote for Jasonite. I also hope you're panning the dregs from your saw box.
From the looks of it, every cut produced a bit of pulverized gold.
I'd be interested in the tailings from the wet saw...do you ever smelt or pan that to recover the gold and silver?
You should make lamps out of the tall bits of cut rock. Won't take that much to do but will be worth a lot more money 💚💛❤️👍
Jason realized that miners rarely get rich. Those who mine the miners get rich!
Drumpf recipe for success.
Mine the miners
Obsessed lmao
Yep ...
Mine services and supply is a good field to be in!
Lighting Quartz sounds perfect.
The gold your harvesting there looks extremely pure!
I recently ordered a nice slabbed chunk of ore and a 25lb bag of ore. Found some beautiful color in a couple of the slabs, and I'm excited to crush and pan the rest of the ore. Great stuff!!!
You're right Jason, the world's universal system of measurement is the metric system and it's better than the US customary units of measurement? Why does the US have to be different from the rest of the world when it comes to the metric system? Well it may be better, but it just doesn't come naturally for an American thinker. Love your gold, precious metal's and the mineralogy education you're always teaching us, Jason. ThankQ Jason for the entertainment and educational experience your videos present for us. I think I can speak for everyone, we're all grateful to you for the hard work you put into bringing your life's work to us. It's definitely hard to make your videos for all to enjoy. ❤👍🏻
Idaho spud here. Jason I can't wait to watch this. 😂❤
A nice dark green gold pan would be great for the camera. The older one doesn't show the gold as well, especially for those of us watching on a phone.
So great this and it seems you have consistent essay on your new mine. I think you totally agree, I think it's BALLMILL TIME! You could also rerun al your tailings.
Nice ore! Looks like a great mine! Love seeing it coming out of the cascades, used to do some hjnting and fishing being born in Seattle and raised in Tumwater. I recall panning in a credk that flows from the top of tumwater hill. We found no shiney but after a bunch of years near Coloma , Ca. I found a bit of shiney! I love seeing you doing the mine. Ive also played at a tiny bit of prospecting near Daloniga, Ga.
That was great to see after all the effort put in amazing
Well done, thats some nice ore!
How cool! I could make jewelry on that chunk of rail!! And I'd love a piece of quartz with gold!!
