There’s a common belief in gold prospecting…
“If the old timers worked it, it’s done.”
But that’s not the full story.
The early miners were chasing the easy gold — the rich, visible, and accessible deposits. What they often left behind was the gold that was harder to reach, harder to process, or simply not worth their time back then.
Fast forward to today, and things have changed.
With modern knowledge, better techniques, and a different approach, there’s still gold to be found in places people think are “worked out.”
In this video, I head into old workings to see exactly what the old timers left behind… and whether there’s still gold waiting.
