Alaska Gold: Crevicing, Panning and High Banking By The River

- Join me for another night of crevicing for gold by the Casadepaga river near Nome Alaska. I demonstrate several important and rewarding gold prospecting techniques including crevicing, high banking and panning out one small bucket of gold containing clay that was stuck to the clay on rocks that I excavated. I also work about five buckets of raw material collected by crevicing through a riverside high banker and then pan it down as well. Both methods were very productive. The mosquitoes were horrendous.

My grandfather was a gold panner I went with him on several occasions during Summer vacations. The day that I remember the most was the day I saw all these little red pebbles in the sand , I asked him what they were he said "they'er just garnets they're not worth anything" , so I didn't collect them I wish I would have , now that I know what garnets are and more so , I would have had something from that particular day with him , the day I remember the most.Thank You for bringing back that memory for me today , I hope you get the amount of gold that you want on this adventure , God bless you and keep you safe Virginian.
Crevicing is the way to go. When I lived in Oregon, that's the only kind of prospecting I would do. It's a good feeling to find some color in places no one else ever bothered to check.
There's something very ritualistic and ancient about the panning method, like kneading dough, carving wood, or milling grains. Thanks for taking us along!
Chigger, if you hold the pan with your left hand with the hole facing you and tap the front of the pan with your right hand the tapping will walk the gold to the front of the pan.
Chiggs is living the dream ! 😎
Definitely is
I love that schist
I learned to pan in Australia. I agree with you; nothing more relaxing than listening to the birds and gently running water and smelling the fresh air whilst sitting on the creek bank panning for gold :)
THANK YOU,,,for showing more then just metal detecting...You give a small lesson and I love it.I have learned so much watching you ..Dont get me wrong I LOVE METAL DETECTING but you give a little more and its the way you do it..You are a great teacher.Please dont stop brother...
Thanks for showing us all that gold panning is not that easy. You work very hard for the rewards you receive and that easily explains why there is such a high price attached to gold. Loved your video and thanks a million.............hopefully in GOLD.
I found myself swatting at your mosquitoes ! Thanks for the video. Cool stuff.
Gold fever!!! That sky is magnificent! The colors! It was fun to see the gold appear. I can see how you can get hooked on panning. Learned s lot. And thanks for putting up with those damned huge mosquitoes. I never saw you itch!
You are such a trip Beau. Enjoying it all. Thanks!
Exciting to watch. Enjoy watching you.
chig is looking unwell....I diagnose GOLD FEVER!
I got gold fever. AGAIN. Love this kind of treshure hunting. I remember my first gold I found in my gold pan, I am very happy no one was near with a video camera, because I did the most crazy, Energetic. dance ,whopping and hollering I FOUND GOLD!!!
Just love AC's videos.
Absolutely fascinating! Excellent video Mr Chigger.
Very interesting Mr Beau as usual you make me feel like I'm there with you!
Dang, I don't think that I've seen bugs like that before. Looked like black flies, deer flies, tons of mosquitoes and heck knows what else. Thanks for your efforts!
gotta love the cravas
That looks like so much fun, regardless of how much you actually find.
Alaskan mosquitos are the worst... I went camping on a small lake in the middle of nowhere in the mountains of AK and it was INSANE. Just as many as chigg had if not more. Someone before us was kind enough to leave a couple mosquito masks behind that we didn't find until our 2nd day.. and oh man was that ever a godsend.
Thank you sir for the education.
Was anyone else swatting at the on screen mosquitoes too? Or was it just me? Great video.
Looks as if aquachigger has got that fever Gold Fever
Wow what fun! Nice job!
Auqachigger got the gold fever ,,looks like your getting Moar gold ,looks like a lot of fun

Wow, well done, keep prospecting and good luck!
Thanks chigg I got gold gold feverrrrr!
Watching from S.E. Oklahoma enjoyed it.

Welcome to Alaska!
Oh yeah I enjoyed it wish there was a place in TN I could do that.
Chig ~ i mostly fish but still like your videos, but who doesn't like gold! My friend lives in Alaska and with enough DEET to turn my skin leathery i needed a headnet so i wouldn't breath them and to keep them out of my eyes and ears. Your a trooper as they were swarming you... find lots more shiney...AJ
we love the Chigg👌👌
Come home Chig...you are starting to come down with gold fever!!!
Sheesh, Beau IS the virus that causes gold fever. LOL
Thanks for the video really enjoyed, you work hard on these, not just the content but the editing too. Great job thanks.
Enjoy all your videos. Crazy how you had a storm of mosquitoes around you 😕
Keep the garnets too. They're valuable as well. Awesome video as usual

That was very interesting!
Just seeing all the mosquitoes after you drove me nuts!

Way to go Beau, love your videos man! Keep up the good work, actually keep up the good livin!
Look at all those mosquitos going after you!
Nice video glad you found some gold sir
Been waiting Chig.... Hold you breath and get some gold!!
That looks so much fun, but lord! The midges/mozzies/flies - you need one of those hats the Aussie prospectors have with all the hanging corks... much more fun than Deet. Love watching your videos, you are the thinking woman's MacGyvercrumpet - only more rugged(!). Does your wife ever go on adventures with you? Or are your adventures the reason you are still married? Thanks for all your care & enthusiasm, it is appreciated.
Great videos. 👍

what i found
+screws
That was fun 😀
The sound of a mosquitoe made me smack my ear during this lol
I know! First, one flew right at the camera, made me feel like ducking, then that sound! I think Id have even my hat sprayed in repellent just to keep them out of my face.
well done looks good, looks like the amount of sandflies we got living in Milford Sound, new Zealand
Awesome! Thank you Sir
Subbed
Hello Chigg! Been wanting to check out your videos but, been SUPER busy in the shop. Heard allot about you, all good!! I'm good friends with the Flash In Your Pan crew.
LOVE YOUR VIDS
enjoyed your video
Those mosquitoes must be strong to take the cold. Like the information. An I hope to get a chance at fining gold myself. Thank You Miner
This is going to be an awesome video i just know all tho i have only watched 2 videos thanks for huge inspirations and nature sharing
Holy DEET bath Batman!
oh goodness, now i remember why I left AK, and also why I regret that decision every day.
Mosquitoes are Alaska's state bird. fly in squadrons.
Awsome video
two places that absolutely amaze me on the voracity of carnivorous insects, Alaska/ Canada area midges and mosquitoes, and swampy southern areas with their head bugs(aka deer flies, horse flies) and mosquitoes. both areas I think one could literally die from running out of bug repellent.
am wondering how Linsey will like moving to Alaska?-lol Beau has the fever now!! hee hee
Nice video.
you rock bro!
Thats what i thought last night your cap was covered ! I live in England and i cant go out in the garden they are massive here :( good to get out with you again though ! Thanks x
luvoucho strange
u could set up some water wheels to power some gearing /conveyer belts, pumps ect all with the natural current of the river
I am love to Alaska
Those mosquitoes tho Beau!!!....dang....my arms would've have been worn out from swatting at them...but you just took it in stride....☺.....so informative... thank you ...you had some nice bits of gold there!!! Thanks for always taking us along...💙...wonderful adventures ...thank you sir.💙☺
Omg! Mosquitoes, caught myself scratching while I watched this video
Wow chiggs...ive seen birds that were smaller than those mosquitos. That God for deet huh
I'm from the South, and I don't think I've ever seen so many mosquitos!!! They must have fur coats on.
I watched the whole video
