Most amazing understand of geolgy I've ever had explained to me. Amazing to watch 12 years of your life in a few days of mine.

A great video, but I wouldn't expect anything else! I especially enjoy these educational videos. You and Lila have a great new year and I'm looking forward to some more great explores next year! ❤

Hey Jeff, in answer to your question, most of the gold around here is placer deposit, probably greenstone in origin. While it's flour gold usually, Mr. Dyer down Southern Ohio way has pulled up some bits out that are much chunkier. The problem is that most people outside of the hobby are either oblivious, or will insist that there ain't no gold in Ohio. I've tried to get permission to pan parts of Pymatuning Creek (untouched, but they did find gold in the Shenango nearby years ago), but most of the farmers look at me like I've grown a third eye, so it's pan a little here and there whenever I can.

Happy new year Jeff and family. Thanks for the great lesson on different deposits great to know when looking for new spots to work. Thanks for the video

Ok, my grandfather used to live in arizona. He used to tell me how he would walk the creeks and such to look for black sand. From your vids i now know that its magatite. He used to bucket up that sand and put it through a discrimiter. Very fine gold was found there. When he sold the place, he left it all behind.

Thanks for the lesson, wish I could go on one of your trips. This is from the area where I used to live, also the source of a lot of placer in the area: The vein system is hosted by the Rossland monzonite which is comprised of a biotite-hornblende-augite monzonite stock that intrudes augite porphyry of the Rossland sill. The Le Roi vein was formed by mineralization replacing wallrock along well defined fractures and by filling fractures and faults with pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. The gangue consists of altered host rock with lenses of quartz and calcite. Actinolite forms rosettes of silky green needles between chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. Minor pyrite occurs as well formed crystals in the pyrrhotite and as disseminations in the host rock. Garnet crystals are associated with the pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite which occur in fractures with quartz.
Native silver has been reported in pyrrhotite rich ore from the Le Roi central zone. It occurs as blebs along the grain contacts of pyrrhotite and at the contacts of pyrrhotite with magnetite and gangue. Small grains of a silver bearing mineral, probably stromeyerite, with heavy surface stain are associated with the silver.

I have my degree but I have been having difficulty finding a job so I’ve been watching these types of videos and reading my geology books to freshen up

[sukemobile]

Been watching for years and just wanted to say you're the mayne and I appreciate you! Always super entertaining and educational!

[Robert-drisch]

I've seen almost every one of your videos brother..! This is The best one yet.. thank you very much and enjoy your new year..!

[LivingGoodAlaska]

I’m on the hunt for my lode deposit, I’ll keep you updated. I appreciate the info Jeff👍

[irisapartments]

Another great video. Thank you Jeff for sharing.

[harleyv]

Happy new year, Jeff! I hope it's better than last year it's been a rough one for so many people. Thanks for the information in this video, God bless you and your family!

[kurtisengle]

10:26 I like the way that cart rolls over that joint !

[hot]

Thanks again Jeff. I'm going to get Slims' book. So much information I have to watch this video a 2nd time!

[I.Liveoldcars.prospecting]

Merry Christmas and happy new year Jeff. I was once told by a prospector that here where I live Victoria Australia the geology is same as California because the land was once joined to each other. Interesting video Jeff. I love your work.

Telluride’s name actually doesn’t come from telluride ores as there weren’t much of those down there. “To hell you ride” is where the name comes from. There are however notable telluride ore deposits in Boulder County and Victor/Cripple Creek.

Hey Jeff, This lesson was so good I bookmarked it. Now I can easily find and watch again. And, I'm going to get your book because I want to become as gold-smart as you!

[ghguyrur]

So can I work under you as a mentor, you’re an excellent teacher that gets their hands a dirty, but also understand the importance of safety

[Chris-hmsn]

Thanks for this video along with all the others! Can't wait to get out there myself and try and find some or just have fun looking
