Best wishes to you sir! I hope you do too. Im a armchair adventurist myself who just dreams of prospecting.

Strolling through desert rocks and scrub brush Jeff says, "I can walk out here for weeks, I love it." Yes Jeff as a former Desert Rat (and trying to get enough money to move back) I can relate. The beauty of the Arizona desert is something too few can see but I will take the area you were in, others can have the gray, cold water and biting wind of the Pacific beaches.

As much as I like the character, I appreciate the straight talk Jeff too.

I told my wife I’m shutting down my business to search for gold. Thanks for the black eye Jeff. 😂

Yeah he has the potential to be the top teacher in his field! He breaks everything down and explains the nuances very clearly, and gives it to you in a way that just about anyone can comprehend and digest. I'd bet he has some of the best information retention of the the stuff he teaches. Even the video structure is very organized and edited in a way that compliments his teaching style. I was watching other KZread prospectors for a while before I came across his videos, and as entertaining as they might be they can't hold Jeff's jock strap when it comes to pure knowledge of the subject! I was pretty blown away.
