The gold rides the clay sleigh!!!!!
Nice work Shane 👍🏻🍀
That's for sure man, lots of gold lost too in those clumps, I'll have to go back with a new and improved invention to make quick work of it..non-mechanical of course! Thanks for watching !
I would love to restore that rusty pan you have. I've restored several pieces of cookware that are similar to that pan, and I'm willing to bet I could work my magic on it. So if you'd ever like to see your old pan looking new, I'd do it free of charge as a thank you for all of the education and entertainment you've provided me over the years.
Crusty Rusty becomes Like-New Stu 😂
@@squirrelorama I would never defile Crusty Rusty like that; but I would definitely clean up that gold pan.
You know, it's kind of funny that at no point during my previous message did I put any thought to pointing out that even though it seems like I'm describing Rusty, I am indeed talking about the gold pan. Derp.
@@Ivegotwormsinme You, sir, are one of the good ones. Crusty Rusty - long may he reign!
I appreciate it! I think I'll leave it since they always end up "rusty again" because they ..just do. I kind of prefer the rust, it's like natural seasoning for the metal pans. Thanks though anyway!
"Thats not terrible"... you are awesome sir. Been watching for over a year now. Really like your videos. Thank you for your service.
Thanks!
Love these videos for sure!!! You do such a amazing job on them and your content is awesome. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!
Always enjoy watching Shane. Have a good weekend!
I LOVE THE CHANNEL!!! I'VE BEEN WATCHING FOR YEARS, I JUST DON'T COMMENT OFTEN. I ALWAYS HIT THAT "THUMBS UP" FOR YOU, THOUGH!!!!
Thanks!
Another fine video. Love it. Cheers!
Klesh, great video as always! I've found that the simplest method for breaking up clay is to fill a bucket half way with dirt and then top it off with water. Put a watertight lid on it and vigorously shake/rock the bucket back and forth while it's one the ground. The clay and rocks grind against one another and leave a nice loose slurry. A bit of a trick when prospecting Nevada clay.
Ill try next time thanks!
Nice looking shiny in the pan Shane keep it up it's nice to see people out having a good time
Excellent video, Shane. Really like the closeup shots. Thank you for sharing.
Very welcome
3:15 I though that you put some text again but no (little disappointed) ;D. Love the blue sky at the start and you are really starting to improve the quality of your videos so keep it up and have nice day
Thanks 😅
im living vicariously through these past couple videos! being in Phoenix AZ i cant go anywhere! great video, Shane!
Thanks glad you liked it!
Always inspire us to get out and love Colorado and explore thanks Shane
Thanks glad ya liked it
Awesome finds can't hardly wait for my Klesh paydirt to arrive. Also looking forward to getting my Earth is the best video game T-shirt.
Hope you enjoy it!
That's awesome man. I haven't been able to go up cache creek but its in the plans. Thanks for sharing!
You should!
The icing on an already delicious cake. You nailed that one Brother.
Oh yeah!
I started watching gold dirt videos earlier this year. I wish I had thought about gold panning earlier in life. I am now restricted to being a tabletop panner. I hate it but its better than never finding something I truly enjoy. Thank you Shane for your videos.
Thanks glad you enjoyed my show!
Hey Klesh! I know that place....My girfriend and I and faithful dog were there 2 winters ago...Most memorable moment....when my lady went back down to the bottom on our bike to get her shovel....dressed in black pants and a tan suede jacket....two hunters saw her and almost shot her, thinking she was an "ELK"!!!!!!! "You're dressed just like an Elk", they exclaimed....have a good one....Richard
Haha yeah you never know what kind of un-trained hunters are stalking the forests looking for out-of-season elk!
I love your videos man! I just want to say that! Keep up the good work! And may the gold god may be with you! (Maybe a good idea for a shirt or hoodie the “may the gold god be with you” design)
I appreciate that!
I always love it when you take out the magnetic sands. 😎 Lots of work but then
that is what you love doing. Have a great weekend. Be safe and stay well. 😊😊
You got that right!
@@Klesh You're looking great BTW!!! Catch you later. 🤗
Gotta love the clay!! Lol and black sands!! I'm starting to appreciate them!!
Sandals are the #1 way to prospect. Especially in snake infested areas 😂⛏
Really enjoyed the vid , what a beautiful place and nice gold to boot 👍 peace ✌️
Thanks!
wow what a great day out fam. and you found some AU nice. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
Yes it was
Awesome gold yet again!!! Well done matey
Thanks again!
Love the videos Shane! Wish there was more prospecting opportunities over here in the UK
There are but they are limited as you know. Next time I visit, I'll be visiting Tyndrum and Leadhills, maybe even Wales if I get that far south!
Nice shiny my freind!
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks!
Not bad. Awesome video thanks👍
Bet that old man from last year that said it was his area filled in the pit with rocks LOL
HAHA yeah
Who makes the sluice box ?
I remember this spot from last year i thought the same thing lol... love your videos man keep them coming.
Thanks!
I have been watching some of your videos that I missed this summer because I was busy working. One thing I really like about your videos is that I can watch one and get so many tips on how to pan and how to look for gold. Have you every looked through some of your chunkier magnetic material to see if you have come across any pieces of meteorite?
Hey klesh good job nice vid so i have an idea about the clay and your sluice box just grab a tined rake take the handle off and place it accross right by the sluice drop riffles that way it can block big chunks from just rolling off and will give the water a bit more time to eat away athe clay and soften it or or give you time to shovel then grab the pieces that just sit there that way you dont have to classify just a friendly suggestion
Cool idea
Oh the clay...lol Awesome because it traps gold, frustrating cause it's a paining the @$$. Another awesome adventure, thanks for taking us along 👌😎⛏
Yeah Clay is our best friend and worst enemy in placer gold mining ⛏😂
Great video. Now I want to go to Colorado
Please do!
About 30years ago, a couple buddies and I went up above timberline there (on Lost Canyon Road) and reworked some tailings from the Lost Canyon placer (magnetite chunks 1" in diameter were very common, and they ran their water hard to keep them moving, and thus washed gold through); in one day we had 5gms of 'fines', a 1/4oz nugget with quartz, and one beautiful 1/2 oz nugget shaped like a peanut in the shell! Was a great day! But someone reactivated the claim, and was off-limits when I went back up a few years later. Good times, though!
Very cool!
Any gold is good gold, all the best cheers from Canada!!!
That's right man!
Awesome adventure sweet area awesome knowledge thank you
Thanks!
To bust up Clay sometimes I use a bucket with water in it a cordless drill with a paint mixer paddle at the end Works awesome
That would be my best option if power tools were allowed here at Cache Creek
What about it sticks
Thank you for the video sir!
Welcome!
Nice gold. Good video!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing Shane. I recognized that tree right away. Would be nice of someone had filled it with more gold huh.
Yeah!
That fluid bed slues is wicked cool though. But yeah, clay huh!
Nice finds Shane
A great day in the creek is better
Than a day in an office lol
Nice little fellas ay
Cheers 🍻
Crouch Oz
I agree!
Yes!!!! I love the outdoor videos. You rock dude keep it up. Always watching from Odessa Texas.
Glad you like them!
Looked like a fun day out prospecting for gold. Never did see a green Jeep though. Have a good day.
Me neither
I hope I get to meet you one day. One of the best dudes on Gold Tube
Thanks man!
you are one motivated individual. And you share good stuff
Super sleuce rocks, even for a novice.
How about that silver price ?
Looking forward to your next video, Shawn
~rad rockit face~
Thanks I do enjoy it so the motivation's pretty easy to get!
Those quick clips drive me insane but I have to try to see it. Sorry you only find a few cents per day but at least you are finding it. Good hunting my dude!
Shane, thanks for the fun video. The outdoor prospecting videos are equally enjoyable as the GPAH at home videos - maybe more so...I'd have to get out the fun-o-meter to check.
When you lived in PA, did you do any outdoor panning? I live in central PA, and the closest gold is in Virginia...maybe Dillsburg on a super lucky day.
Not when I lived there, but when I visited last year I made some gold prospecting videos in PA. Check my "50 States of Treasure" playlist to see treasure hunting videos in all 50 states , still in progress, but have about 20 states done.
@@Klesh @KleshGuitars Yeah! I watched that one. I do enjoy that series (I mentioned them in a letter, Klesh Fan Mail #7 when I sent in the paydirt for GPAH 55). I look forward to the rest of the states. Good stuff!
i would look for gravels on top of that clay next time. Nice golden day :)
My first time panning was on a GPAA claim just north of there. Cool ghost town up the draw with the GPAA claim.
Yeah this area's full of cool old history. I plan on doing some research and maybe some videos on the ghost towns in Colorado at some point
Going to the pit in a few weeks! Fingers crossed!
That area is so good it's hard to scout around to other areas!
Dam his first sample pan is what i get on a good day
Totally. As a Pennsylvanian, I'd be doing the happy prospector dance if I found that in my pan.
Well I've come to the conclusion that 🙃 there is a difference between Illinois and Colorado. About 11000 feet and recreational gold lol 😆 That would be a great day
Is that the same creek that runs through cache county Utah? Love the t shirt man.
Yeah man! It was really great and definitely gives you motivation to continue digging even when you start really getting tired 10 buckets later!
Cool man thanks for showing me a new spot. I do appreciate it very much. Not many people. Do this. Stuff these days. And it's such a fun hobby. Maybe one day. I will run into you and I can pick your brain
No problem 👍
Wish i had a longer bazooka. My small one is great as it fits in back pack etc. However, i blew a lot of gold out using it in Ohio on the Mohican river, Swank claim. I finally had to put my banjo pan with a dream mat in it below the end if the bazooka and found 17 nice flakes of gold that had blown out of the bazooka.
My faith in it has kind of gone away. Now i will always be using another catch all with it! If it was a foot longer maybe?
A lil gold ain’t never hurt nobody.. 💪👊
Hahah it's always some good training out there getting eaten by mosquitos and getting baked under the sun and thin air :D
Thats such a dope shirt I need one!

A one inch neodymium magnet fits perfectly in a Berocca tube and works really well.
Good idea1
Cool idea with the nut driver, haha!
Right?!
I used to go play golf not too far from there at Mt. Massive GC in Leadville. Crazy high elevation there.
Yeah can be hard to breathe up there hiking my stuff in and out!
Nice gold thank you for sharing..
Thanks for watching
You pan the same way I do, lol. I'll go right to left, left to right, straight up like wave action and lefty righty as you were. I suck it all out and go through it at home and don't tell me about black sands . It takes too much time, when you could be getting more cons.
another great video
Thanks again!
Holy hopping up and down Martha, that is a lot of magnetics.
Right!
So fun to watch..hubba hubba
Thanks! You will like my video with EVG i filmed last weekend I think :)
Shane is genuine there is no long livesteams
Not sure what ya mean but thanks?
nice video , thanks TANK
Glad you enjoyed it
If you put that clay in the bucket with water, about 50% full, add a few larger clean rocks, you can agitate and get things broke up and fully suspended before running it, no classifier needed. Might help...🙃
I was using a bigger rock to help squoosh the clay around but it's very very gluey
ANOTHER FUN DAY ON CACHE CREEK.
It's a real nice place and super easy access too. Just a 2 hour drive to get up there but it goes quick the scenery keeps ya occupied on the way up.
When I went to Cache Creek for the first time this year, I only seem to have gotten some pyrite .. :\ .. I had to go sample half-day, and next day dig/classify half-day and head back to Texas. Short vaca.
It's very hit or miss there, but usually HIT. It's actually pretty rare to not get gold in any pan from any given area, but it does happen. Better luck next time and thanks for watching!
Man, I wish I lived somewhere where I could just drive a few hours and get to pan gold. Ohio does not have good gold, at least up near Cleveland. Great Video. Have a great day!
Get some KleshKrums: I just got two bags: SOOO much fun.
Yeah I know there's gold in Ohio (check out Flash in your Pan on TH-cam), not sure the exact location though. Maybe not near cleveland, but for me to drive to this place it's about 2.5 hours one way to pan for gold.
GPAA Swank West. Bellville Ohio. Fantastic access to the river, and we always found good gold. Digging or using the dredge.
I think it would be two or three hours from Columbus. There is also rv camping there. The Swank East is more remote and tent only so maybe not as dug out. Also the GPAA just purchased another clAim on the East side bordering
PA. Go for it! Nice people down there!
Could you upload a compilation video of magnetic clean ups? Love watching that magnet in action.
Alright, working on it now!
KleshGuitars thank you very much.
It seems you and I are the only one's who pan the way you shown in the video, i don't get why others don't try it. Nice Gold!
Thanks for watching!
Nice !
Thanks!
Some nice gold there Shane! As always great vid. What video editor do you use. I am using “iMovie” on my phone and it isn’t that good. Hoping to get out on Sunday so will be uploading my 2nd vid!
I use sony vegas pro for editing and rendering my videos
Thank for getting back to me Shane. Will check this out👍🏻
Friggin awesomeness
Thanks and your music is awesomeness too!
KleshGuitars thanks man that means alot! I was sooo stoked when I heard the that first song come on lol
Great video seemed pretty challenging with those black sands. Love the music while looking at the gold
👍
What we did when we ran into clay was, grab a cordless drill get a 10$ sheet rock mud mixer and drill hole in a bucket to 1/4" and shovel into said 1/4" holes drillled bucket and make a slurry into the 2nd bucket and run that throuhj the sluice.
Unfortunately out at Cache Creek, there is no powered equipment allowed. Even un-powered Wagons are not allowed, so my hands are the best tools available. I've even tried rocks to help smash it through my classifier, or thought of bringing a potato masher or something LOL no dice.
@@Klesh damn thats bad we ran a makita 18v drill to run the mud mixer. Im sorry you cant do that there
Hey Shane, enjoyed the video. To classify clay or not, good experiment. Cache Creek looks interesting, is there camping on the creek or nearby? I'm on the western slope but would come up there for a couple of days and try the creek if I could stay nearby.
Yeah you can camp right there. It's a fun place!
A lot of clay at Alabama Gold Camp also.
Always fun when you can't use power tools to fix it !
Got my 3 bags of beginners dirt in yesterday m8! 😎 Give me a bit on the video... lol. 😉
Nice 👍
Here we have a diference betwen kinds of clay we also have lehm which is also translated to clay but is not exactly the same. Lehm comes from the word Leim which means glue. It is a lot stickier than clay but has clay in it. Its like worse clay.
I agree Manuelslayor, and thanks for watching!
Always have my best results here in OH with clays. Gotta really work to break it down, but it's usually worth it.
Yeah that clay is like false bedrock. Hold the gold for sure in the right spots!
The macro shots are always my favorite
Yeah they're always fun to shoot
GREAT DAY OUT AT CACHE CREEK. I WONDER IF A PAINT MIXER WOULD WORK ON A CORDLESS DRILL AND BREAK UP THE CLAY??? THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.
It should but can't use any powered equipment at Cache Creek. Can't even bring a wagon to haul your gear around
I’ll guess .73 back to the vid I agree about the icing but the cake always hard work to make 😅 thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻p.s. you didn’t say 42%er.... sometimes I wonder if the views are people like I used to be that just watched vids without an account so there was no way to subscribe 🤔
Man I wish you were right 😂
@@Klesh hey it could happen there’s a paystreak on that upper bench somewhere you just gotta find it do you happen to know all the sizes of the arbor classifiers ?
This is 20 mins from where i just moved in Leadville! Maybe Ill run into you next time :)
Definitely man, it's a great spot and a nice place to live! If you can breathe up there, you're good!
Very nice gold
Thanks
Holy magnetics
SO MANY !
You can break up clay with a squirt of jet dry in the bucket and hit it with a plaster mixer on a cordless drill. Slurry in a minute or less.
while that might work, still wouldn't wanna add anything to the environment that's not already there. Besides, can't use powered equipment either. Oh well, back to using my hands or a potato masher or something!
You gotta get deep in there to get the good stuff, now an extra offshoot of water is flowing that haven’t in a few years too
Yeah you get what you work for! Thanks for watching
Holy moly... That's a LOT of black sand. Put that all in 1 bag, seed it with some gold, and sell it as a super God mode paydirt (because the paydirt is invincible). Lol
I promise to put some into the "Gold Expert" bags here: kleshkrums.com/products/gold-expert-paydirt
When Alder Gulch was discovered, the guys were lookin for tobacco fixins money. Good lookin color.
Thanks Roger Dudra for watching!
I have found one piece of gold that was +20 but it was just larger and it was 8 years ago
nice
get a powerdrill with a stirrer to bust up the clay in the bucket.
Unfortunately out at Cache Creek, there is no powered equipment allowed. Even un-powered Wagons are not allowed, so my hands are the best tools available. I've even tried rocks to help smash it through my classifier, or thought of bringing a potato masher or something LOL no dice.
You adding some of that clay to you Lg gold bags ? LOL that must be a pain to shift through.
BTW BTC Going up : ) Can ya make a Magnet Fishing show?
Yep! I did grab a bucket of this stuff to use as material in my paydirt bags. And to answer your question below, yes I'll make another magnet fishing video for sure!
@@Klesh Awesome Mate keep up the fun videos
when i was watching. i suddenly realised the best thing to do would of been to get as much as u could carry of that clay dry it out and crush it down to a fine powder then classify it. u might of got a larger yield of gold. i watch a programme called Aussie gold hunters on QUEST.....
That’s true! Only problem is the air is very thin in high elevations here, and carrying buckets of heavy mud up and out would be a great workout!
@@Klesh that's true u don't want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger do u. I was going to suggest u get a gemstone book incase u find any really interesting or spectacular minerals. As some r worth more than gold. I have a few that r worth more than gold. U should ask Dan Hurd for advice on gemstones also a guy on TH-cam called meminer. I love watching ur videos. Hope u do another diamond hunt on the road and pavements again..
Hey Klesh I need some spots to pan for gold near pikes peak. I’m here on vacation and already planned a few spots at clear creek. I seen cripple creek is that place any good? Let me know if there are better spots, thanks
check the book "Finding gold in Colorado" for all the best spots to prospect for gold here
Put soap in the bucket and let the classifier do the work.
I have a good friend named Jared that showed me cache creek the first time about 10 years ago and he drive a green jeep
Maybe the same guy? Lol
@@Klesh I was thinking the same thing will text him and see
Just a question, would putting the dirt in a bucket filled with water help in breaking up the clay Before you run it?
Honestly, it just clumps up into a solid piece when that's done. It's very thick and gluey clay.
Thanks for the reply
