Truly Amazing geologic features are uncovered in today's exciting exploration! This is mountain lion🐆 country and we find an active Cougar Den and feeding site! Let's learn about gold mining geology of the Cougar Den Mining Claim⛏️

What a day! This 500 gram assay yields a 246 gram button! Melting rocks, blazing white heat and beautiful gold, what more could you ask for! Fire Assaying is a time tested technique to quantify precious metal values within any given rock. Melting rocks is just about as fun as blowing up rocks!

CRUSHING GOLD! We got our hardrock sampling circuit dialed in with 2 inline rock crushers that feed directly into the shaker table for gold recovery. Gold ore is fed into the jaw crusher where it is reduced to 1/2 inch minus and drops onto a conveyor. The conveyor feeds directly into a...

That last tunnel was only about 3.5 feet tall and the bottom was covered in cholla. Mt.Lions and bears are my biggest worry in Colorado.

Hehe, like Russ said those spines truly are as sharp as hypodermic needles...

👀Check your shorts at the adit, you're gonna need a fresh pair! Hehe, but seriously, exploring old mines is not something to take lightly. Do not enter☠️! Do not go in without proper training, equipment or an escape plan! Would you crawl into that small drift next to the rat hotel?

We dive into the Black Sheba Mine⛏ and trace some geologic features. This mine is full of brightly colored mineralization! Later, we explore an old ghost town and find some really cool botryoidal chalcedony and opal deposits.

Largest gold nugget of the trip puts us at 15 nuggets so far! We crushed our goal of 7 metal detected nuggets and are zeroing in on some sweet 🥔nugget patches! Let's see what else I can coax out of this rugged n harsh terrain. Get Some😁

What a day! We locate 2 veins. I show you how we find gold veins⛏ Prospecting for gold ore can be tremendous fun and rewarding if you know what to look for. Rock types, geologic features and subtle clues can help lead you to the gold🕵️*♀️ What is your take on dowsing?

I always kick them shut Russ. For one they are unsightly and 2 they give away your detecting location! I worked hard for these little nugs and it sure was satisfying!

Crushed my 7 nugget goal in 1 single day metal detecting💪! Prospecting out here in the desert will certainly test your grit and determination but when you locate a New Nugget patch with your metal detector, it all seems worth it! Let's Go🙌

Thanks and my pleasure Russ! I live for this stuff and am actually enjoying documenting it. The mummified gila monster was an interesting find. I guess they are a fairly rare sight. Happy Spring!

Sometimes it can be really hard to keep pushing forward and searching in "vain" but that's what you gotta do! Let's break some trail and find Some Gold! Being a successful gold prospector can take thousands of hours of field work and extreme dedication. We metal detect for gold nuggets and...

Those hanging slabs were definitely a danger. I knocked one down at the end but didn't want to get myself it trouble so stopped. Marc n I talked about you for a bit, he sent his best wishes to you as well Russ in ole Misery! The temperature fluctuations in the desert are intense. You go from...

I dig deep on my quest for 7 Gold Nuggets💪 We explore multiple lode gold mines and metal detect! I'm on a mission this trip. The intense search and hunting is what gold prospecting is all about. These explorations lead to me finding some tremendously rich mining claims and gold ore⛏

Thanks Russ. I might have to rig something like that up for testing. I'll keep you posted on progress. Hoping to get something in place within 1 month so I can start running some ore.

That is an option. A friend of mine keeps trying to convince me to do that but I know that roughly 40% of the values will be lost, which is unacceptable to me. It's such a pain, I just need to engineer a proper recirc system. If all goes well with the ores I am running, I might switch to a...
