Honestly it's good to see bats, they are indicators of a healthy local ecosystem

Imagine giving credence to old Yellow News articles looking to pump the local economy anyway possible. 😄 But HEY--stranger things have happened.

Remember what Elton John sang in the song Honky Cat "It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine...It's like trying to drink whiskey, ohhh, from a bottle of wine" lol

What a wonderful Christmas gift from you! Was not expecting an upload... YAY!

Perfect start to xmas day = a Cerro Gordo video! Merry Xmas, Brent & Co. 🎉

It`s about money-grabbing.

most of these old time newspaper articles were written to sell papers.

It is the hunt that makes it fun! I hope you find Gold one day, Brent! Until then, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I love these collabs! Jason and Dan are some of my favorite gold prospectors and miners / KZreadrs

Thanks for sharing! I’ll watch both other channel’s story of their adventures at Cerro Gordo

You and all your cool friends have a Merry Christmas!! Love the videos!! Stay fearless and safe!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year brent and everyone at Cerro Gordo.

MERRY CHRISTMAS BRENT TO YOU AND YOUR CREWS!!🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

Thanks for sharing! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉

I love these videos because it shows how hard and crazy lives working in these conditions and also shows a story of the people

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Brent!

Good to see your edit Brent, already seen the adventure from Dan and Jason's perspective. Love the collabs you all have been doing, more, more, more please. Dan and Jason may be better at finding gold, but you are a better historian. Have the merriest of Christmas's 🎄and a great New🍹 Year. .. Till the next, ...⛏⚒⛏

Epic video as always Legend! Merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year Brother and thank you for another awesome journey of videos of life and exploration this year! Stay safe, stay awesome and be well :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS Brent! Hope everything is going well my friend!

I can't believe how much fluorite you've got down there. That's amazing.

The articles are gilding the Lilly - its enough to start a gold rush 🙂 Merry Yule Brent

love seeing Dan out here! Such a good guy!

Brent, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to yourself and your team. 🎄🍻🎶🍾🎅🕊🙏🙏🙏🙏😍

Great to see you again! Merry Christmas

I enjoyed watching this adventure from 3 different perspectives. You, Jason, and Dan all did a wonderful job on this one!

Apologies in advance... But at minute 2 (?) into the tunnel, I feel like Jason (cage of doom, death) was panicking and wanted to bail. He held it down! YET, even after he got topside made comments that confirmed my 🤔 suspicion. I'm hoping Brent tries again.

My Dad was born in the gold mining district of Boulder, Colorado. His Dad was a mine manager/engineer of his time. Location names like, Sugarloaf, Gold Hill, and Wall Street were added to draw folks to the area. Granted there was gold in them there hills, but the handles were emphasized for a reason. To say the articles you were reading from were 100% accurate...? None of us were there to know for sure. Based on this video, I'd be more inclined to believe some of it was embellishment. Seeing that Dan was unable to find any gold down in the lower wash, and with that thought believing it was an honest try to find some color...;) Thanks for the many wonderful videos youve shared. Its been interesting to see how my family went about making ends meet similarly over in Colorado. Merry Christmas 🎄

Merry christmas , l watch dan as well on his channel . Nice crossover, gold really changes things

That was so good Brent thank you Merry Christmas

I always enjoy your adventures in search of millions. Hopefully you strike it rich one day you deserve it putting your heart and soul into that old ghost town!

You may not have come up with gold, but you did find some cool stuff down in the mine. It's there, keep on looking.

Merry Christmas Brent. Stay safe

merry christmas brent, greetings from germany😊

Dan is awesome. Glad to see these worlds collide

I love you, your crew, and your videos. I live in SC now, but I grew up in the Mojave exploring mines, extinct volcanoes, and looking for precious rocks and fossils with my dad out there. Death Valley and Scotty's Castle were a common excursion. Your videos are pure nostalgia and take me back to the greatest memories of my youth. Merry Christmas to you! P.S. I turned my dad on to your videos and he made an excursion up to Cerro Gordo. He watches your videos now and still lives in Victorville. Can't wait to make it up there and visit your place with my kids now.

BRENT, please no more up and over....without some one with you. I love your story since I rode with you from Texas to Cera Gordo the first time. Be careful, the buddy system could save your life 😂🎉❤😅😊

Merry CHRISTMAS Brent!

Merry Christmas from the UK 🇬🇧 Brent . 🎉

Brents gonna probably need a black light room up there with some of those stones on display lol

I love the colabs😁

Back in the day mine owners and landowners were very adept at placing stories of gold finds in the newspapers back east as a way to get investors to buy into their claims and as a way to get more cheap labor to come west looking for work and richs.

Merry Christmas Brent

Great mood shot for the ending. Wow!

I hope you have/had a blessed and joyful Christmas!

Thank you! Great video and hope you are taking time for you. Looking forward to 2024. Merry Christmas and happy New Year!!

Happy holidays! 🎄❤

So you pulled one card out of 52 here and it wasn’t the ace of spades. Sounds like there is more work to do!!! 🤩

flourspar is beautiful. I worked at a flourspar mine and it comes in all different colors, and is used is many things!

Bait and switches suck! Not cool. Especially on Christmas Eve.

I have found a bunch of pieces of gold bearing quarts on the south side of death valley in the washes so its got to be coming from somewhere up high. most of if is in a very white quartz but I do have a chunk that has some iron in it. never crushed it to see how much is actually in it they look nice in my rock collection with their little flakes

Merry Christmas to all of you. God bless

You don’t upload a lot but your videos always make me happy I would love to go down that mine with someone like you who knows what there doing I’m not afraid of death but I know better to do sometimes like that myself but it’s cool to see someone like you exploring the past and the enthusiasm you have for history is so great to see I’m 17 years old I’d love to get to see some of the history you get to see it’s really cool the passion you have for showing us the history of your own personal ghost town the joy you get out of your adventures gives me second hand smiles when I watch your videos. - Billy long time subscriber on multiple accounts love to see the progress take care and stay safe

When I was younger, I would go to many old silver/lead mining areas find where the old stamp mill was and get a few buckets of material that had accumulated around the stamps foundation. I would then take that material to a stream or water source and sluice/pan that material down. It was often way more trouble to find water than to get the stamp tailings. If there was gold, and often there was, I would save the heaviest of the black sand and smelt it down in a copula. I was often amazed how much work the old miners had done to get the stuff to the mill and then left stuff laying around that had escaped the process. Also had to watch out some of this stuff often had a lot of mercury in it, so be careful if you cook the stuff.

Merry Christmas guys

The real gold in Cerro Gordo will be a dependable water supply. Merry Christmas.

Sounded and looked like you had a placer deposit/gravels in the 86. That’s where I’d look.

When the lights were turned off and the rocks shown under the black light it looked like a photo from space. So beautiful!

Fluorite entrance on your house. Bam; instant Christmas decoration's....Merry Christmas Folk's 🎄

The more excellent value is you get education on what to look for, and as you travel around the property, you are better attuned to key features which could contain Gold. Take care, would be cool if you could find Gold again.

Flourite comes in all kinds of colors!!! Good looking stuff!! Cerro gordo flourite!! Nice,nice,nice. Godspeed fellas

I would believe the old papers!! Maybe it's just every so often or from pocket to pocket?!?! Their probly not gonna make it up!!??!! They were digging!!! Shit there's probably a shit load of silver still there!! We still need silver, plus nice specimens!! Hint,hint. Or that Cerro Gordo fluorite lots of colors!! Beautiful stuff even if the gold is from here to there!! Beautiful place in history!! Godspeed

If you don't find gold you could sell batshit to recoup some of the costs 😂

Merry Christmas 😊

Merry Xmas to all at cerro Gordo

I'm guessing that's why it was a silver mine.

Be careful. In the cave, you can see where the water dissolves the rocks. The denser the rocks, the harder they are. Where the rocks are wetter, there is the bottom of the water vein. At that time there was a flood. The flood water is somewhere in the underground water storage of the catacombs. It often happens that water migrates. Gold and other materials are visible. The main water in the ground should be monitored. Also, periodically, during the water conditions above the surface of the land, it enters the caves. In the micro-cracks of the caves, the traces of the raltoves for centuries are visible. But it is interesting to learn and see geological formations. Gold reacts to the presence of mercury. Mercury was once used as a poisonous but alchemy solvent that removes impurities from gold. Currently, scanning for gold veins in some soil layers is very helpful.

Merry Christmas friend

Trying to find Gold in an abandoned Silver Mine...this should be interesting! We have the same bats in the Yankee Boy mine. They are long eared Townsend's.

Merry Christmas Brent!!!

Merry Christmas!

Very enjoyable, what an education for us

Nice to see a Texan having fun love your way

Amazing very good, good lucky

Great job

Merry Christmas

You will find gold. I know you will. Awesome video.

I would buy the black light reactive rocks. They would be fun for projects.

AMAZING!

Brent might be the richest man in the world 😮, he is a great person and well deserving ❤ Love you ❤ and everyone 💕❤

Iron is the mother of gold!!!

Gold and silver are almost inseparable in mineral deposits. If you find one, you're very likely to find the other. Merry Christmas!
