The Prospecting Geologist

The Prospecting Geologist

Matt (The Prospecting Geologist) has a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania. I have worked in numerous roles with the geology field from Geotechnical Project Manager overseeing drilling rigs, to exploration geologist conducting sampling explorations for gold and base metals in the East Coast Piedmont. I have been prospecting for gold since around 2013. This channel has two main goals: 1. To bring you educational content to help you find more gold (Particularly in the East Coast Piedmont region) and 2. To bring you entertaining prospecting adventures. So, join us and have fun, make friends and learn about geology, prospecting, LiDAR and other innovative techniques! Please subscribe to the channel and leave comments and likes on the videos!!

    Good morning, can't wait for the video! I just went Sniping for the first time yesterday and I came across a crack that was half my leg deep so far I haven't gotten to the bottom yet. It cuts back into the bedrock from underneath and it's really dark. There's no old gold claims on this creek. I'm curious to know if you think gold will be down there. Right in front of it is a big sandbar of good sized boulders kinda like a halfmoon along the bedrock. And should I be panning all this overburden that I keep pulling out of the crack or just discard it? I was the one asking about the Lidar map of a location.

    They estimate the amount of gold taken from the land, by the records from the Mint. Showing how much gold the Mint recieved and then turned into coins.
