Dan - Thank you very much. I've enjoyed your videos also.

Hey Mr. Ralph, first of all thanks for the great content. I just got hired to work the Frac rigs in the Permian basin, 2 weeks on and one week off. During my off-weeks, I plan to camp out in New Mexico on the margins of some of the many collapsed calderas to prospect for gold. My housing is provided while I'm working, so I can save money by camping while I'm not working. There was a report from the 70s which suggests that there are over 30,000 ounces of placer gold still in the Hillsboro mining district, and there is plenty more to explore in NM as well! Thanks for helping me in my endeavors, I truly appreciate your work. May God bless you and your loved ones!

With that said did some other sampling found a couple fly poop in another wash but no garnets. Would the gold run with the garnets or does it have nothing to do with it?

Garnet is heavier than regular sand. So, like black sands, the garnets accumulate with places rich in heavy minerals. Gold of course is a heavy mineral and accumulates in places rich in heavy minerals. That is the association.

Hi Chris I have a question about different mineral deposits in very deep red coloured dirt.

Would gold be found in areas with such huge amounts of jasper?

So I had a more qualified person inspect my large stones and they are actually raw mineralised cinnabar. So would that make any difference if gold would be around as it's similar to gold being a mineral that's formed from the epithermal depths?

For the flood waters, I have a question. In general Texas sucks for gold deposits. Apparently we are #1 here - #1 in having the least amount of gold in any state apparently. But we do have some decent floods on some gold bearing rivers. The gold itself is a powder like gold - i.e. really fine. Would these rules apply as well here or because its so fine it goes everywhere? Thinking like the Colorado and Llano Rivers.

Hey Chris, my family and I moved to South Carolina a few years ago, and we happen to have a sizable creek on our property that runs year round and averages about 2 ft. deep. We are in a unique geological zone called the Augusta Zone - nestly smashed between the Carolina Slate Belt and the sandhills on the edge of the coastal lowlands. On our property my son and i have identified quartz geodes, greenschist, and iron oxide type feldspar. There is also an abundance of black sand in and around the creek. What would you suggest is the best way to sample the area, what equipment do we need, and what would you say are our chances of making a decent find on our own property? I should also mention we are a dozen/two dozen miles south of the Barite Hill bonanza lode. I dont want to be too exact, but if you wanted to examine our situation i can email some photos and maps. Please let us know what you think.

So drill and dig testing! I was thinking with my zero experience drill a hole 3"-12" possibly to bed rock. Then possibly spray water in the hole, then dredge it out test panning each level, use a gas or electric auger , i have seen up to 16" diameter, and capable of going over 10' deep! Take about 5 gallons of water, a high pressure low volume 12/24,v pump capable of 100+psi. Basically a car wash spray, then spray tge bottom of the holes, and pump the water out i to a gold pan or sluice! If the hole is 8-10' or less! If it brings up gold, follow it with a shovel! This is basically the same idea behind well drilling! Only alot different! Also a pocket can be opened a couple feet around the bottom of the hole similar to hydraulic mining. Onle concentraited using a tiny amount of water and recycling it! Pass through classifiers, a gold or heavies collector, then settling pond. With a large sentiment filter i was thinking about sewing large socks make a 18-36" ring with a 8-10" diameter tube filled with coarse sand, with another sewn on top possibly,3-4 put it in the tub , place the pump in the center! It should keep the solids out! The Pump being 5gph or less , im from the east, we have plenty of water about anywhere, id like to go out west prospect about a bit! Maybe get a old mine claim! Probably not a so great one. And possibly find something the miners though was mined out! As long as i can get a 1/4-1/2 oz every few weeks , month or less, id like to find a drift mine, like jeff Williams, though a quartz vein would be ok also, Maybe sneak a bit of black powder on a few holes. Use some feather and wedges, possibly a core drill, drill a 3"-4" core 6' place a peanut butter jar of powder in there bottom. Cement about 5' of the core back in the hole! Drill about 4-6 holes around it for displacement, go far away and let it rip , surely A pound or two of powder will break rocks! Haha. Probably not go that far! But i could definitely build a small wash plant. Rock crusher, pulverizer/hammer mill, possibly even shaker table! I even looked into a bit of ar,500, for a hammer mill, if you are going to crush it just as well turn it to dust! Jason at mbmm makes some nice EXPENSIVE equipment! Im thinking running everything from a single engine like a factory back 150 year ago! Possibly use. A car /truck engine a 5.9 Cummins diesel from dodge truck, or tractor, all kinds of equipment used this engine! It can generate power, spin a shaft to powe all the equipment and pumps. I was thinking, mount everything on a 20-30' trailer. With the sluice hanging off it. But what i was thinking to start would fit everything in s 8' trailer! Sorry to ramble. Have a awesome day.
