Thanks for sharing your knowledge Prospector Jess. Do you know why we don't find a ton of associated metals in the rivers? It's the same story all around the planet. Here in Australia I've never detected associated metals apart from pesky bullets, iron which is associated through man.I know a lot is in ore, but there are a lot of nuggets too. (copper, silver...)

Great lesson, much appreciated Jess. Alaska is thawing out this time of year and I can't wait to get out in the hills.

Thank you prospector Jess always informative learning as we move downhill downstream down to bedrock 👍⛏️🦋🇺🇸

Good advice. Thanks.

Prospector Jess, thanks very much. interesting thank you much once again!

That bench material is like 2-3 sack concrete. Once you find some it gets easier to spot as long as the vegetation isn't too thick around those areas. The easy ones seem to be 25-50 ft above the current river levels, the higher ones can be near impossible to spot unless penetrating imagery is available.

Thanks teacher i will share places that i found placer nugget two months ago

Hi Prospector Jess: One question, What do they mean when miners say we found this much gold per yard?

Hi Jess. I work a river that is really geologically challenging. It runs in a Z pattern. Very hard 90 degree corners. I'm having a tough time finding the pay streak. I get about a gram each trip working the inside bends but it's sporadic as hell. Any tips would help me a lot. Thanks for your videos.
