Watch a Gold Miner go from a hole in the ground to Gold Tokens

I watch a lot of Youtube videos. One of my favorite channels is Jason from Mount Baker Mining and Metals.

He owns a gold mine on the west coast, and has filmed the entire process of restoring and re-opening this gold mine. The first season was cool from a history perspective, but the recently concluded second season was fascinating - he showed the drilling, blasting, recovering, and smelting process. Then he took his bounty to someone who turned the raw gold into gold tokens. Never have I ever seen such a complete and thorough view of the entire process from rock to coin.

If you are interested, I highly recommend you check him out. The video linked below is the culmination of taking the gold to a coiner, but you can look at his past videos to see the whole process:

I wasn't sure if this would capture my attention, but it turned out to be exceptionally cool! About 90 minutes into the 2 hr 30 min full recap video and thoroughly enjoying it.

 

Then what are you doing posting. Get back to it.

 

His tour of Baltimore Knife and Sword Co made me want to watch some Forged In Fire; that show's awesome.
