New Mine, New Machine: Dave Turin’s Epic Comeback! | Gold Rush Full Episode| Discovery Channel

I need to work or at least be friends with this kind of people, so that i can learn or get funding to start gold mining here in kenya, there must be alot of gold unexploited here,

oh so much apreciated we all been waiting for this
love u guys

Working for the Anunaki

What was the primary use of gold right before WWII, Currency?

Ty for Your time ,clean video. Peace i want more of gold rush plz

Some interesting geology in the area. The claim sits on a big alluvial deposit, obviously with some glacial action mixed in, but I think you guys were closer to a bunch of gold than you found if you just checked west a bit more. The alluvial deposit has a big bench that extends up thomas creek and runs south along the valley and west of the dredge workings, now what gets neat is the alluvium source appears to be up thomas creek but the plutonic granite surrounding the valley/bedrock has a big old fault running further to the west that trends NE/SW the length of the valley and then some.

Infact this fault appears to have intersected a much older (500mya) sedimentary basin deposit (including shales/limestone/marble/carbonates) and has caused a big portion that was connected to the head of the alluvium deposit to drift a few miles southwest… this could have changed the course of flow/deposition. I think this old sedimentary basin was the source of the gold dave, you were very close, because if you check the historical usgs reports there's a bunch of mining just NW of this fault where this sedimentary deposits contacts the granite and a more horizontal trending fault connected to the structure.

Now considering the best gold was found near the north end of the alluvium is safe the say that fault isn't responsible for the gold in the valley or it'd be more homogenous in terms of big gold being dispersed throughout rather than mostly near the head of the alluvium deposit. The river that flows in the north end cuts through the same granite and has no signs of old workings in the reports, so chances are good the gold deposits from the sedimentary formation to the NW of the valley and then when the granite starts uplifting the area the flow that deposited that alluvium (and this is also how we know its not the granite or the river at the north – that river couldn't haven't deposited the alluvium up thomas creek) was shifted and that was the end of the deposit cycle.

The valley immediately west may also hold similar gold but doesn't look like the same alluvium deposit that sits in warren meadows was ever worked in the valley over, in the southern end of the valley the glacial till ends and the old alluvium like in warren creek begins to poke out for a pretty sizeable stretch.

There's also an older gneissic schist/sedimentary which is slightly younger than the sedimentary deposits near war eagle mountain that have signs of past workings that sits across the valley on the west end opposite of war eagle mountain and the oldest sedimentary deposit (remnants of an ocean/inland sea).

I would definitely go back and take a second and third look at the area… old timers might have missed something pretty big in the valley to the west if I'm correct about the alluvium source. Even if the fault turns out the be the source of the gold that still just makes the valley to the west even more appealing.

Edit: looks like they did actually dredge in the next valley over but they interestingly dredged in the glacial till, none of it is logged on USGS but the workings are definitely there and its pretty huge. The question is if they were finding anything of value in the more modern glacial till or were they punching down to the old alluvium under the glacial till? And it just so happens to make sense them dredging northern end of the valley is where the better concentrations of gold would be in the old alluvium just like in the warren valley even if they had to dig down through a bunch of overburden. The old alluvium should be comprised of a carbonate end stage metamorphic rock sequence – if you aren't digging that up you aren't in the right stuff.

edit 2: actually the name of the placer operation for the dredge workings (it actually looks like a massive hydraulic pit rather than dredge but who knows) was Golden Rule Placer mine, report indicates $0.12 per cubic yard – discovered 1860's but doesn't indicate when the productiion report for the yardage came from… and yea further down the report indicates hydraulic pit operation. There's still all the gold trapped in the old alluvium under that pit operation the gold values propably thinning as you grade west of the old pit operation. There's still gold there man, and a lot of it. Again they only worked the glacial deposits (low grade) in the western valley so there's still all the old alluvium channel under the glaicial till that is guaranteed virgin ground for larger scale operations outside of random individuals back in the 1800's.

If you find a world class deposit… 😉

Dude , you got to be related to SHAWN RYAN..tell me im wrong ????

Awesome video 😊

I'm in Oregon n know where alot of gold is. Just need the equipment n people 💯❤️

The waterhead was aided by the alphabet agencies to eliminate Trump. Its as plain as AOC's buck teeth.

Just remember whoever owns the land they get a percentage!

I mean, whats next? You going to spend 2,000,000 DOLLARS on 3 helicopters and a whirlygig? Geezes Dave calm down. Lemme guess, next season we have a 1,000,000 ounce goal???

Good show but please stop the manufactured drama , the guys aren't good enough actors for that.

The ground they are digging has young saplings. They are testing ground that was reclaimed just a few years earlier by the looks. No wonder they got 3 flakes.

Amazing, very good
