![LOST Gold Mine FOUND! First Look Inside the Portal
Jimmy Jam leads us deep into the hills to track down a gold mine the old-timers hit HARD — then it disappeared from the maps for nearly 100 years. No roads. No signs. Just a depression in the hillside... and gold waiting below.We locate the buried mine portal, dig through packed clay to expose the opening, and pan the dump material — pulling out fine gold AND crystalline specimen gold straight from limonite pockets. This mine is not giving up its secrets easily. But it IS giving up gold.The full excavation is coming. What we found on the surface already tells the story of whats waiting below.⛏️ In This Video:
