Halloween fireworks 2024
Me and the beautiful wife went up Morfee Mountain to watch the annual fire works display put on by the town of Mackenzie. It was a good drive up the mountain not much snow. It was warm and no wind just perfect for the show. We had the place to our self.

Late fall on the Mugaha
มุมมอง 27412 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
One last gold panning adventure before the snow flies. I went to the Mugaha creek just north of Mackenzie, my beloved home town. To hunt, quite literately for moose, black bear, rabbit, grouse and some gold. The only thing I got was gold. I had to travel up to 14 km on the road past all the other claimed areas to find a suitable location. I did manage to see three grizzly bears on my way home. ...
Nov 8 2024 Nation river panning
In this one I was lucky enough to get out to my claim for some late season panning. Luck was there as I managed to pan out one of the best pans ever on my claim and I filmed it all. It was a solo trip and it was an all day adventure the drive back was beautiful as the sun was setting.
Mugaha family trip clean up
มุมมอง 50วันที่ผ่านมา
Myself and the family went out to the Mugaha and we went out to a friends claim to look for gold. I was able to test out the new betea pan and it was effective. Thank you Shane and Mark. There was gold found not much but that's normal for me. And this is the gold that was found on that trip ready to add to the 2024 season total.

Well in this one I rebuild a two tone engine hoist. I also filmed in incredibly poor lighting conditions and tried my best to fix it in post production. Not my best video but I have been busy around the house and yard in perpetration for the winter. I have also gotten into the political ring and am running for town council in my beloved home town of Mackenzie BC. Which involves a lot of researc...

Pallet storage shed build
มุมมอง 211หลายเดือนก่อน
I build a storage shed on the cheap. I used pallets and some scrap wood. The only expense was time and some nails. Now i have a storage place for things over the winter. I am quit pleased on how it turned out. I'll have to shovel the snow off the roof but that's ok. I hope this build can be helpful to anyone who needs a storage space and is on a budget like me.
Mugaha family fun time

As the season winds down, it becomes more important to get out. Me and the family went out for an afternoon of fun. I got to test drive the beta Pan I won in Quesnel at Shane Wrights annual panning competition. Check his channel out The Rediscoverers. The Pan was provided by Mark Oldenburg of Gold Stream Placer Supply. I would also recommend his channel as well, Gold Stream Placer Supply. There...

Train Track Coin Squash
มุมมอง 710หลายเดือนก่อน
The money I found in Dawson Creek finally came in handy. While on our modest family vacation in Quesnel. For the 2024 Cariboo gold panning championships hosted by Shane Wright of the Rediscoverers We stayed at my good friend Joseph's place. He lives near some train tracks. I wanted some unconventional souvenirs for the kids. So we used the coins and had them SQUASHED by the train as it went by.
Mugaha Creek Trappers Cabin

Out to the Mugaha creek for this one. Jace and I go and dip a pan and we also go explore an old trappers cabin. The walk in there was not a nice one the bush was thick and the devils club was everywhere. But we found gold and the cabin too. The cabin is starting to deteriorate as mother nature reclaims it. In a few more years there wont be much left of it. thanx for watching and please share li...
New Ground Testing On The Nation River
มุมมอง 6942 หลายเดือนก่อน
On this episode I finally get to test out the new cell, I purchased adjacent to my Nation River claim that I amalgamated into my existing claim. I tested with a metal detector in the hopes of finding a nugget or two. Then I did test pans every hundred feet to see what there was. The ground is down stream of my existing claim. This was filmed in late July when the water finally came down and exp...
YouTube glitch

TH-cam keeps glitching. It happens for almost every video I try to watch. I have to refresh the link several times. Some times the Adds are acting odd pause and play in rapid succession with not being able to play. And the speed of the videos is rapid. even slowing it down is not enough. I updated my drivers hoping it would improve the situation. But it didn't improve there was no change. I hav...
Gold catch all build
มุมมอง 342 หลายเดือนก่อน
I built two more Catch all's. The Idea behind them is to go under the discharge of a high banker to catch the fine gold. How it works is the fast moving water carries the fine gold all the way through the high bankers sluice run. As the water hits the catch all it spreads out and slows down giving the fine gold a chance to drop out. Some people use a gold pan to catch their tailings. Thinking I...

In this one I went up to my claim to go and dig for five days. Its the longest video I have ever made. Its the whole setup and running of frankensluice and take down the weather was wet and cold.

Cheers from Nova Scotia .
Cant hear a word youre saying!
In sections or the whole video? If you have add blocker software running in the background it will mess up audio. Thank you for letting me know. I look forward on hearing back from you.
Looking good indeed fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Oh Man I got one of my best pans ever on my last trip out. my next video is gonna be a banger. I filmed the whole part. from digging to classifying and the pan out. I was so excited. Thank you for your support and motivation to get out and get it!
New sub. Get this one to stick. Heavy Pans!!!
Thank you for the sub. I hope you watch some of my videos as there is quite a few of them now. Enjoy my content and share and comment if you can. Thank You So Much!
Only been panning less than 2 years and so enjoy it! Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure.
I bought a pan for my friend and gave him the receipt. I did some math and came up with how much gold was needed to break even on the pan.
@thecanadianhillbilly at these gold prices it wouldn't take long to pay it off
Keeping an eye on the gold from goldrush country bc canada... Keep up the good work
Wish we could get out more but things are tight and bills are high. Wish I could make TH-cam content as a career but I just keep going doing the best I can with what I got.
Great day out there fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
The wasp nest we got into on the way out was bad. Glad the kids didn't have an allergic reaction
Great day out there getting that Au fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Any time out with the family is a great day by me.
I loved making quarter sized coins from nickels for the arcade as a kid!
I didn't know that was possible.
Snowbillies.
Definitely got snow up on the mountains now.
I hear the train a coming,coming around the bend. Just thinking. Anyway i met your lovley family at the panning compitition and they were all very polite, inquisative and really seemed to appreciate and enjoy the experience that you were treating them to.
I do try my best for my kids and to educate them in what they are interested in. After all they are gonna have to take care of me at some point.
Enjoyed the trip to the old cabin. Great job
The cabin has deteriorated quite a lot over the years. I was hoping for more gold but some gold is better than no gold
Great vacation memories! Can't wait to see more of the panning competition!
I have yet to edit that video. Its gonna be a project as it was filmed on several cameras over a few days. I tried to get as much of it as possible.
I suggest you wear a hi-vis vest with so many Hunters around
It was filmed before hunting season. But ya I agree, safer than sorry.
My right ear is so sad
What is wrong with your ear? I got an inner ear infection that was and is still going. I hope you feel better soon.
@@thecanadianhillbilly When I watched your video on with head phones I was getting audio only on one side of them
@@thecanadianhillbilly I would recommend antibiotics if you have access to them and I like to use my shower on the kinda jet like setting to clean my ears but that could be risky if it leads to excess moisture or use to high of pressure is bad
Great looking spot, cool to take the whole family. Hope cleanup reveals lots!
The clean up has yet to be done. I have just did one clean up from panning and I was quite impressed. That video is out now. When I get to the 104 Bucket challenge I hope to be impressed. I went with 104 because 52 is one yard of dirt.
i get a different glitch, iv had it happen quite often on your vids as well as other people vids...the sound wont be there...other videos will play and have sound and the odd video wont...nothing seems to corect it, i simply have to come back after a few days and try again to watch...weird... havn't had this glitch your showing tho yet
It could be an add blocker running in the background. After some poking around I found the problem and fixed it.
What a blast fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
I was hoping for more gold than what i had found. But that only means the good spot is better than average on the river.
Looks like yall building a beast
I have the technology. I have the skills. I have the material. Now I need the time.
I hear ya ! I'm 61 now and I wish I would have started the heavy lifting when I was younger . I grew up in Mackenzie and quite familiar with the Nation area. Lots of fishing and lots of gold. Thanks for sharing, I look forward to your next video .
this is wierd..every time i turn on 1 yr vids there no sound
I wonder why this happens there is sound when I watch it. I wonder if its in some settings or something like that?
beautifull place
did the fucking sound work for you? its not for me
I wonder why you got no sound for the video ?
The beautiful places are often difficult or hard to get to. Which is defiantly the case for this location.
Nice job making that bar, looked great. enjoyed watching the process
I enjoyed it too turned out nice. Way cooler to hold that chunk than a glass vial.
Nice work, looks great
There was a few hiccups but I got it to work. Definitely happy with the way it turned out.
Looks good. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you I love to build things. Its my budget that usually stops me. I got lucky on this one. It did take a while to find some material to use.
It looks fantastic! All your hard work has paid off!
It was a lot of digging but, so worth it. I hope your doing well. Tell the hubby I say hi.
My daughter is doing pretty darn good. She makes me proud to be a dad.
Some gold is better than no gold. Prospecting has those days. Sound was fine.
And within walking distance from the house too. It was nice to see some gold. not much but something is always good. Thank you for watching.
thats a tuff break man, .. id feel devastated as well
There was a lot of gear down there that I lost about $7000 worth. Pumps my beloved high banker. All memories now of a beautiful time and place. Its still nice out there but it will never be the same.
you might wana start editing your videos for sound check
@@smokeymacpot76 the audio gives me a hard time. When I don't turn it up it's really quiet. And if I turn it up it often goes too far up. I do normalize the volume after I even it out. I turn down the loud and I raise the quiet. It's one of those things that does frustrate me.
@@thecanadianhillbilly well i was just saying cus i hear nothing at all on the video which is unfortunate cus i like to watch canadian prospectors , its my fav type of channel to watch..hope ya get it figured
@@smokeymacpot76 The audio is there. I wonder whats going on?
@@thecanadianhillbilly your right..thats wierd i just checked cus it wasnt before..maybe the problem was my end ..dont see how its the only vid i noticed it for...anyways il be sure to go back and rewatch the vid in that case
@@thecanadianhillbilly good video.. i really like seeing BC prospectors vids, cant wait to see the up coming nation river vid, i spent a couple weekends up there few years ago, that is a handy spot right in your back yard , looking forward to seeing more of your vids
Yum, gonna be good!!👍😎👻🌶
It was so good I love that little machine.
That's some serious smoke going on
The flavour was amazing half smoked half BBQ.
Great job getting that Au. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
I try my best. Glad my kids had fun with Dan he is such a nice guy.
Sound sucks and you're filming with the sun in the lens. Much to learn. Nice gathering though. Did like.
It was so hot that weekend. My brain got zapped and I totally agree poor use of sun light and angles. I wanted to capture as much as possible. Thanx for watching eh.
Looks like a lot of fun. I would lose, I suck at panning.
Its a great event if you can make it up that way do it. there is learning areas and the Fraser river and Quenel river panning area right there so you can find some there.
Great job all around fam. Keep at it. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Still lots to clean up down there. Its gonna be a while till its all done.
Nice!!
Thanx eh. I love my time being surrounded by nature. In the bush is where I find peace and I can relax.
@@thecanadianhillbilly I get it. 😉
Great job all around fam. What a blast. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
If you ever get up this way I'll take you out to my claim on the Nation River. lots of fine gold in every pan, unfortunately fine gold takes a while to add up.
New sub, hitting like and commenting to help get the algorithm juiced.
Thanx for the support and help in making my channel grow.
Very cool
As long as it works I am happy. It was modified when I got it 6 years ago. So to add stuff to it was not a big deal. I was not conflicted at all. More sluice means more gold.
👀 interesting
After my claim got burnt, I lost everything still trying to rebuild my mining gear. It will never be the same there.
@@thecanadianhillbilly 👀wth what happened
Cool setup indeed 😃. Add a slide to your tailing defector . You should have to mess with it as much. It might work 🤔. If it doesn't work. You can tell them it was my idea 😂. Great job all around fam. Can't wait to see you use it. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
I gave it a good test run and I think it went well. Not too bad for some stuff i had kicking around. Can't wait to take it up to my Nation river claim and see what i find there with it. Dreading the hill its quite the pack in there.
I’ll catch up on your other videos soon. 👍🏼
Thanx eh I do one every week. They come out on Sunday at 8AM PST Just after Dan Hurd's video. kinda reminds me of Saturday morning cartoons from when I was a kid.
Hillbilly, I’ve been subbed to you for a while now. I wish you lots of luck on your channel. ❤LL
Thank you eh. I wish I could do this for a living but those days are a few thousand subs away. So please share and help spread the good word.
Not actually sure you want this crazy girl subbed to your channel.🤷♀️ But like a mindless zombie I obeyed Jason's commands. 🧟♀️🤣👋😁

@@keepdigginmetaldetecting 😉🤣🤣🤣👋
Well thank you for the support I hope you like my simple videos. I am making a lot of them as of late.
Just amazing work fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
I can go up there in the winter to pan as there is a spring that melts the ice and snow. Its facing south so its also in the sun all day.
Oh ya shaking from the Caribou area bottom for sure ,I`ve lived in the Caribou for yrs Quesnel ,Worked Barkerville on Cats too .Some really nice colors there right on Last creek we hit behind my Aunts place we got 14 gr. in 1 weekend should go back but price of fuel geez ,Subbed thanks for commenting on my sluice rebuild today .
Thanx for the support and help in making my channel grow. With the price of gold going up sounds like you need or should go back to your Aunts place. In a few short months the price of gold went up so much that there was more cash in gold in the bag than what I had spent on it.
@bctreasuretrails sent me over for a look see.
BCtreasuretrails is a friend of mine that I have know for over twenty years. Just one of the many people that motivated me to create my own channel. I have a good chunk of content out there now for you to dive into. So please do, I appreciate the support and I hope you enjoy my content.
@@thecanadianhillbilly I've only known BC for a couple of years. So far I'm enjoying your content
Wow crazy stuff 🍀🙏
I told Doug to go buy a loto ticket that day. He got lucky the tree didn't "lawn dart" the durango.
Thankyou that was awesome , definitely appreciate the time and effort involved making these 💯
I wish I had filmed it sooner but we had a week of cold windy weather that was not nice to film in. I also take great pride in my little town that I live in and was born in.
