We had a quick informal interview/chat with our friends out in Central after we tried dredging their creek. Funny and interesting people out here! There's a shocking number of friendly faces out in the bush if you know where to look. Sure beats the stereotype of crotchety old prospectors.

Why don't you put the tote in the water at the end of your sluice. Lose nada.
La traps like a lot of water
Seems to work pretty well. Maybe this season we will catch all the tailings and see how our recovery is.
Your Suction dredge hasn’t got much suck, need to look at up grading that, when a suction dredge is working properly you don’t want your hands anywhere near the nozzle it’s all about volume otherwise your just messing around….. That messing around reflected in the pathetic amount of gold you got!!
Well thanks for watching. We always appreciate advice and opinions.

Hope to see you guys digging some holes here soon!
Us too!
2 girls 1 cup
Actually we are 2dudes 1dredge
It’s good these days that so many people are willing to show us their trails and tribulations of finding gold ❤
Trials
Please put up the video where you found nuggetron!
We really wish we had that on video. Ol Nuggetron was found our first season dredging. Before the channel or the big dredge. Luckily we have a witness who was there when Brennan dropped that beauty into my hand.
Sick nugget! Lets see some video of that!
Well we found ol’ Nuggetron before we started our TH-cam. Before we had cameras. Before we even had our 6” dredge. Best we could do now is some sort of glamour shots video starring Nuggetron. Stay tuned.
Buen video saludos mineros
3 tires? not 4? WTF
There’s 4 in there.
Going to get blown away first
It was brutal out there.
does he ever get to bedrock?
That’s the whole idea !
Super duper auwsome
Thank you so much 😀
😅🎉🎉🎉🎉
Pretty ridiculous
That’s would be my dream vacation I have a 4” Keene
You get out mining often ?
Do all rivers contain gold? ❤
I don’t think so. But it’s always worth a look.
Sweet!!!
Thanks. It was a great day !
Whooooo you guys been out yet...all the best from Amsterdam 🎉🎉🎉
Actually we are getting ready to go out this weekend with a friend. Our claims are still locked in deep snow and ice.
@@twodudesonedredge auwsome that you have options 🙏💪..stay safe and heavy pans brother
Это не 17 g это 17 ct - 3,6g
We dont get to see the tally? Awww no fair
So our idea was to share what we experince when we are underwater and dreading. Sometimes we go a few hours and this is all we see or hear. If we make more of these ASMR...ish type video's :) we might put up the total from that day at the end. Did you enjoy just the sights and sounds of dredging vs the normal videos we upload?
Thank you for skipping the music...im so tired of creators ruining the vids with dumb music...or ANY music
Appreciate the comment.
Yah, where to start? The water is very fast by the looks of it. What is the rise over run on the river at the spot you plan to dredge. With that in mind make a plan for the test hole. Work smarter not harder. Carry a piece of mesh fence or milk crates and derock the spot you want to test. I have watched videos and you guys get rock bound it seams to me. Don't start in the middle of the river like you did. Start on the inside corner get down 3 feet and see what's there. If a false bottom or bedrock then do a 4 by shut down and check top map. From there it is up to the amount of gold. The cut wall will keep the current from hitting you if you go left but i suspect that the gold is on the right side looking at the limited vid you showed. Way down you ankles and run 90 pounds of lead so you are able to base yourself in fast water. If the test whole is good start putting all the rocks from your basket where the beaver dam was. It will raise the water up and slow the flow. Get a cheap drone so you can look up river to see what's there with out having to walking it. You have a 5 or 6 inch so it is only good for 5 to 6 feet of over Bearden realistically. That is assuming all the gold is on bedrock and not just flood gold. USE YOUR NOZZLE MORE! That one guy must run out of gloves and his arms and shoulders must hurt by the shift end. lol ps take a 16 inch bar down to help bust bed rock. Good luck
Thanks Bill. There’s lots of good advice in there. Getting ready to get back to it now. We aren’t sure if we are going back to that claim this year but I think we will be taking a different approach the next time we try to get down to bedrock
Wyatt Earp moved to Nome Alaska sometime after the big shootout. He made his money by runing a bar & gambling establishment...later he retired and moved back to California.
You ever been to nome?
I think it was 2.1
I'd try digging up some of that clay . It could have gold in the top layer of it. Being it has decent size rocks in it! Depending on how hard it is. Maybe use a auger in a drill while dredging! Only catching the chunks a bucket or trough at the end of the sluice! Or use a concrete drill and drill out enough to get a hammer and chisel to break out chunks! As a kid I used to dig up a dark grey clay in a creek! It was about 10' below ground level ! Below the red clay soil we have in the Appalachian foothills . It was loaded with a fine gold grit. Like a sand slightly more coarse than the clay. I use to make stuff from it! Sit it up on the roof in summer it has to been 150° or better , that year it was 95-101°, it would get hard , not as hard as fired clay. It would hold shape after getting wet. it could dry again keep it's shape. I figure it was iron pyrite in the clay we had a ton of black silt in the area! The sinks, toilets. , washing machine, everything would get silted up with the black sand from the well. And it was only ,300 yard from the creek. And 300' deep on a slight hill so I would guess the bottom of the well was roughly 40-50' below the creek. No more than ,80'-100'. I know there is very little gold in this area, no one said here id NONE! The amount of clay I dug up, id say there was probably 1/10-2/10 of an gram of gold in it. (if it was gold) . Not sure how much clay was there it was not easy to get! It was below water, covered in red clay soil, with creek sand and gravel over it! I had to dig up under the creek bank to get it. The creek was in a valley and had come across the field over the years so I was digging in the old creek bed. It was above the new bed yet below water! It had creek gravel and sand over it then about 6' -10' of red clay soil. I'm curious if there was any gold in the clay. It had the fine black sand, all the gold mines are further east from here. It's been 30 years+ so who knows it is definitely not enough to mine if it was
How far east are the gold mines? We should sample that. Thanks for watching.
2 girls and a cup, way better video 😂😂😂
Thanks ? 😂
👍
Whats the source of the gold?
That's a good question! Likely veins of gold deposited along with quartz and other minerals, then eroded into the river by rain, snow, etc. then the river sorts and transports the gold until we go and find it
@twodudesonedredge i grew up in the area....never knew anyone with a claim up that way so ive not propected it much. I panned when i was in my 20s over there and found some flakes....gave me the bug lol
Thanks for sharing your adventure Best of luck in 2024 !
We are excited for 2024. Hopefully we have a season like the start of 2023.
That didn’t even cover gas and wages, and freaking dinner
That’s the way she goes some times
Did I miss the clean-up?
This is just the underwater bits.
Have you used your blaster to cut through clay layers ,? I have Keene 6 inch dredge and used blaster to desolve clay to pick up micro sized gold
Do you have the 6" mini like us? I wonder if our dredge would even capture gold that fine.
I would want my buddy watching over me while I had my head in the water.. All it takes is one hungry grizzly bear.
The noise of the dredge usually will keep the bears away and more bear attacks happen from brown bears which have been known to actively stalk people.
Yeah we keep firearms close but have never felt compelled to carry one down on the river. I have spent time while my partner was diving thinking about the scenario if were ever to come up. I would have access to some high pressure water that I suppose may deter the bear. We saw one just outside of camp this past summer. I worry more about our stuff than ourselves most of the time.
@@Randy-dm5tg the dredge motor keeps the critters away. Having someone to keep the sluice clear and tailings moving is nice. I run a 5 inch dredge solo and it's a bit of work
привет из россии .вы используете металло детектор в воде ?
We have. We prospected a little last year using the metal detector in shallow water
Act like bear bait ? Lol there are huge brown bears up there !!
Brennan saw one last year. He thought he saw a second but I said it was a mosse and...... I was right.
The 40 mile still has good gold if u can get on the right spot and have a good 8 inch operation,u can bank a good amount during a season with the gold prices today and what a way to live during the summer,i hope to do it some day god willing before i leave this world,lol.
Totally agree. As Johnny said about the forty mile in one of our videos, “if we weren’t getting an oz. an hour we were moving on “
I'm betting only one sleeping bag.
We made sure to bring warm sleeping bags so we can each use our own.
Next creek😂
Yeah dredging in Central was fun and nice because it was so warm. But it enough gold in that little creek
I just subscribed to you guys I'm not a gold miner but I used to like watching them I used to watch gold fever all the time all the time It'll be watching yours Keep making them and I'll keep watching them have a good day and stay safe
Try other end of gravel bar
We ended up going all the way on that gravel bar.
Cool video brother
Thanks Jacco
Watching now 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow we must be neighbors that’s how far I live away from gold daughters. My buddy & I have a pretty good claim to dredge on get ahold of me if interested
That’s great. Let’s work something out. Our email address is on our home page.
I’d love to get out that way and check everything out, looks super cool. I freakin love the hoodie 😊
I have a claim close to town with gold
Andy I’ll shoot you an email.
Very nice nit bad at all
I thought y'all lived down south
50% down in Anch and 50% Fairbanks.
If you're 15 minutes from there we're pretty close. That's cool y'all wanna go cut some ice open when it starts warming up in March. We'll go get some ice cold gold !!! Lmao
I searched for two years before I found a good spot on our claim. Everywhere there was shallow bedrock I had marginal gold. I finally found a spot where I’m getting 1/4 to a 1/2 ounce a day. Only problem is it’s 6-7 feet deep below the over burden. I know it feels daunting but my advice is to defiantly get to bedrock. When I start a hole I spend at least one full tank with my 6” Keene just widening out a spot to work. I usually never even see bedrock until close to the end of the day. Don’t give up guys you’ll find it soon.
