![This Plane Crash Has Been Sitting Here for Decades!
I spotted what looks like a crashed airplane on Google Earth — sitting in these remote mountains for DECADES. So we went to find it. What we discovered along the way changes everything: ancient agave pits used as trail markers, a mysterious cave with a fireplace (and something inside I CANT show you on camera), rare hematite and limonite mineral deposits, and the crumbling ruins of a hidden mountain cabin — complete with fire pits, artifacts, and a rope swing still standing. Who was living up here, and why?With 40+ years of geological field experience, I break down the reverse thrust fault shifting the geology from limestone to sandstone — and exactly what that tells us about the mineralization hiding in this canyon.🏆 THIS MONTHS GIVEAWAY — WIN BIG:

![I Followed the Placer Gold to Its SOURCE...They THREW AWAY Specimen Gold!
Most prospectors stop when they find placer gold in the wash. But the real prize is learning how to follow that gold uphill to its source — and that’s exactly what I do in this video.
I’m Jeff Williams — geologist, gold miner, and prospector with 40+ years in the field. In this one, I’ll show you how to read placer gold for clues, use LiDAR to spot old diggings the old-timers left behind, identify alteration zones in the host rock, sample bedrock traps and mine dumps the right way, and then use the Gold Monster 2000 to check the source material.
And guess what?
We uncover specimen gold the old-timers threw out by accident — not once, but twice.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
• How to read placer gold — rough, rounded, coarse, fine, jagged, or quartz attached
• How LiDAR can reveal old trenches, pits, and mine dumps
• How to spot alteration zones that may point to gold-bearing veins
• Why hand-stacked rock is one of the best old-timer clues
• Where to sample tributaries, bedrock traps, and washes below old workings
• How a VLF gold detector can help find specimen gold in old dumps and high-grade piles
Research wins gold. Boots on the ground confirm it. And if you can find the source… that’s where dreams are made.
