Cold Gold in Alaska

Froze our dang butts off exploring one of Alaska's frozen streams early this spring. It was so much fun and absolutely beautiful. Visible gold all over, crystal clear water, and good friends. Might need another dry suit & snorkel so both of us can get in the water next time.

wow, that's my uncle and grandpa. I remember when I was shovling dirt into a bucket for that wooden sluicebox so long ago. Great memories!
It was super fun seeing that operation
Those are nice
Thanks!
Tornado mining😮
for sure !
Great video. 👍. Hope ya hit a deep hole full of gold. ❤ your camp too
Thanks. We really appreciate it. That camp has really grown on us. When we tried a new spot towards the end of the season we had a new camp and it wasn’t the same.
Love watching you guys dredging! Would like to seem some more camp life too to break it up a bit! What tent you guys use? Whatcha cooking for dredging fuel?!
Stay tuned for some camping deets.
Auwsome video as always 🎉🎉🎉Greetings from Amsterdam guys 🎉🎉
Thanks! 😃
Glad to see that Patreon listing getting longer! Lookin good this year guys!
That’s right. Thanks for your support.
Great job all around fam. What a blast. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
We appreciate it!
Hey guys looks like you are getting rewarded for your hard work. I stopped posting a long time ago as every time I did I had to deal with the JA's and semi drug addicts. I have commented on your 4 inch on another video as I have one 2. How do you like the new super 6 and that box. My four is terrible to be honest. The bottom stage is garbage as it backs up in 2 minutes. seams to be lacking water flow across upper riffles to move rocks off even though there is lots of suction.
@@billhamilton5498 thanks man. We are enjoying the dredge. It’s definitely better than the 4”
Nice pay streak. You will start to notice as you go that the rise over run in your creek is making a difference in the pay streaks and the size of the gold. When I was in Nome this made a difference. I see a little quartz but not a huge amount. Your Gold is rounded and flat so it has traveled away in it journey to your box. The rock layers say new deposit post last glaciation and with little quartz it is probable a large sulphide deposit ass its source. Have you done any exploring up creek?
You’re right, there’s definitely some interesting geology to consider here!
So close. Rocking it guys congrats. I did not see a spray nozzle in under water pics. it is a game changer especially on that hard pack and even better if clay is sitting on top. We have 3 glaciation layers here so you get those layers of false bedrock. Have you punched down deep yet? Looking at those layers is interesting. Looks like a heavy layer of later deposited mineralized rock is washed in after the last glaciation period. Ie all the dark mineralized rock.
This ground looks great guys. better than that central interior ground you went to while visiting family. That twin motor 5 or 6 has so much more suction than the old 4 you guys had. Well stopping video and making this guess before the weigh in! 24.7 grams.
The rock in the video you are sucking up was a bit of a tell to me that it was iffy ground. Did you see any green or red rocks ie mineralization. I saw some quart but not much. No matter! You had a good time and learned. Your suction on that dredge looks low to me. My 4 inch is the same. Iffy at best but shitty when you go down deep.
Bill so many great comments. Thanks so much for watching. I’ll go through and give a look at some of those tips.
Hell ya boys!!! We missed you! Stay safe and heavy pans.
Ahhh what a day. We still need to dry and weigh it
@@twodudesonedredge ok, im feverishly waiting lol. Any way we can talk about using drysuits vs hotwater systems? Im trying to figure something out for my operation.
I dredged Alaska, Oregon and California years ago. I loved being underwater "hunting gold". Thanks to the politicians Alaska is all that's left to dredge. Your videos are well made and I enjoy them. Age caught up with me, I'm 77 now or I would still be doing it. Good luck to you guys !
Thanks! We try to be responsible and respectful of the environment and live in a place of balance. Getting gold while not ruining nature for our kids.
wow extraordinary, suddenly rich my friend
Wish it were the case
Ahh good memories
Wait. Were you out there with us ? Lol
Sweet, please do the video of you finding NUGGETRON!!!!
Nuggetron was found the year before we started recording. In the same spot but that year was our first dredging. We just had the little four inch franken-dredge. I’ll see if we can scrape up a bit of footage
@@twodudesonedredge awesome, we appreciate it. Love watching your videos, i to prospect up in PVille.
Greetings guys 🎉🎉🎉
Woot. Hey big guy. Hope you are having a nice fall season.
@@twodudesonedredge I am thanks brother
Nice job bro
Thanks cliff !
That was a good haul. Great. Looks like you just clean off to the clay layer. Rarely but sometimes that's where big nuggets hide. Wish I was there. Get some more
Yes sir.
Awesome take for the day guys, some nice Chunky Shiny!! TNT MP.....
Thanks. It was a great day for sure. Wish they were all like that.
Hi guys, my name is Dean and I from London, when the nozzle goes in to the dreaded ,why can't you get a y shape and have two nozzle, you then you can have two divers in at once. Any way keep it up ❤
Greetings Dean, Good question! I think that would cut our suction power in half unless we upgraded the motors. We are currently limited by Alaska state rules for small scale mining where total motor horse power cannot exceed 18hp.
How often and many bear do you guys come in contact with while dredging up their ??
We've seen one or two, but they never bother us.
So exciting to watch, congratulations!
is that a 5 or 6in dredge thanks for the info and video content!
This is keene's 6 inch dredge
Awesome! Keep up the good work!
You mean Ausome
After watching your underwater shots I am wondering if I hog too much material through my dredge. You guys seem to feed material much slower than I do. Although I still catch most of my gold up in the black matt section. I think you guys could try feeding even faster in my opinion! cheers
We definitely hog in the material when the cameras aren't rolling. Trying to show off the gold on the bottom means we slow down a lot for the camera.
@@twodudesonedredge Ah makes sense! Carry on then! looks killer!
Get yourselves a little pic axe.
Yeah we have a variety of tools
Great job fellas. That’s an amazing take for one day.
Yes it was!
How was your season
Fantastic 👍 Keep up the good work. Love it
Thanks. Appreciate the comment
Also Brian you should check your email and get back to us 😎
😮
Auwsome guys...well deserved 🎉🎉🎉... Wish I could join u guys sometime...Greetings from Amsterdam guys
Come on over my friend.
That clay is sticky stuff. Read a story once about a guy with a 4 inch on some river in California who hit clay and decided to punch through it. Got so much gold he thought he was going to sink his dredge. Had to stop every hour to clean it up. Incredible! Y'all doing good.
Great !
What a great problem to have
Are you guys full time miners or do you work full time jobs and mine second
Mine second. Wish we could go full time, need more gold or more TH-cam money to make that financially viable 😂
Watching now🎉🎉
Hope you enjoy
@@twodudesonedredge I did 4 sure
Git er done! Vacuum that shiny up!
Thanks. Get some gold as a Patreon
Love your channel and yes I have won gold. Thank you 🙏
Epic patreon!!! I have won as well!! Join up people!!!
I came across your channel a little while back. Down to earth, just real about mining. I have used your videos on dredging to try to convince my wife I need a 4inch dredge. Lol
You absolutely need a 4” dredge! Good for the heart n body lol
Thanks very much, glad you're enjoying the videos. You definitely need a 4 inch dredge!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Can confirm real! As a patron, I have a few grams sitting on my desk in front of me!
New subsciber from UAE
Thanks for subbing! Let us know what you think
Great Video...How often do you work the claim ? ; would be awesome to help one day.
We are up for mining anytime we can. You in Alaska ?
Lovin’ the mic placement in the beginning!
So yeah. I struggled with getting our mics to connect on the videos this year. We just had to roll with it.
Way to go 2D1D!!! Nice Chunky Shiny... Gold Fever Always and Forever Brothers! TNT MP, PEACE...
Thanks man !!
TwoDudes OneDredge...HAHA NICE! I get it..
Thanks ! Enjoy
