Gold panning isn't about getting money to me anyway it's about finding beautiful specks that have been under the care of the river for thousands of years and you are the first person in all of history to see this beautiful speck they each have a shape that is unique every speck of gold is a snowflake and one that will last forever if proper conditions exist
The whole channel is blissfully free from hillbillies that spend more time filming themselves than prospecting. Great skills too! I would pretty much live by that creek!
It would be much more interesting if you would show how and where (in landscape terms) you fill your pan. Watching you pull pickers is great and I love your channel, however would you share the science of choice to where to gather the pan full! thank you in advance
No one gets pans like that. Salted A.F. to put on a show. Only way I will believe this B.S. is if I personally go to that location and get those results. Otherwise this is absolute B.S.
Yea, when I have my Gold Bug, there may be half an hour go by b4 I look up. Damn near walked over fishermen b4. A bear would just sit and giggle as I walked right to him.😆
While I've never panned for gold I do understand that it is typically heavier than the sand its in. My question here is how do you know that shoveling out handfuls of dirt like that you are not pushing gold out and back into the stream? There must be gold suspended in the mud that is getting brushed away.
Gold will stay suspended in your material, unless we shake and stratify the material on the shovel multiple times it will stay. Same concept as panning, if you put your material in a pan with water it won't all just drop to the bottom immediately it needs a little work to get there!👍
Most of the fine sand in the bottom of the pan is very fine gold. Watch on a rainy day where the water runs down off the Mountain the rain will be washing the gold out of the rocks in to the stream.
Your funny..water does erode rock..which releases what evers in the rock..thats how gold viens become gold flakes but youll never see it happen unless you live for 1000s of years but a cute story 😢
@@renegon4111 black sand is eroded Hematite and magnatite rock created like any other sand but from hi iron minerals containing rock..BTY GEOLOGICAL SPEAKING you can have Black sands in your stream with out gold. but you Can not have placer gold without black sand (hard rocks diff)
I'd give anything if I could go exactly where you are and do exactly what you're doing. I'm 47 years old and have dreamed about panning gold as long as I can remember. I just don't know where to go.
@@olin777 i am in south GA. Waycross to be exact. That'd be awesome to have someone who knows where to go give me some leads to get me started. I have dreamed about panning gold forever.
No it hasn't we are still looking it's a relatively newer creek which has formed in a canyon beside an older one. Bedrock is very shallow in most areas we hope we find the source soon.
It would be useful if he showed where he dug the material from and how far down he went to get those sample pans. I he's gettin it near the surface and not on bedrock that's impressive! And if that is the case the placer may not have traveled far, the source vein(s) may be close by.
No more than 1-2 meters down there is bedrock in most areas, however some spots we can't find it. Gold can be found up to 10 meters out of the creek as well. The creek appears to be relatively new at the bottom of a canyon which is 20-30 meters wide at the base in most places. There appears to have been multiple small old creeks in the canyon from multiple sources so we are still trying to find a definate source. As this area is in a municipal forest reserve we have limited access. It can also only be staked as a mineral claim and not placer so we are limited in what we can do exploration wise.
Damn fine samples, better move in some good equipment on that claim cause you found a good spot there with all that coarse gold.. It hasn't traveled far from the big deposit.. Have fun and good video!!
Hey..name is Greg...and i find your knowledge incredibly informative and i was just curious if u are in B.C. Canada?? I would understand if u don't want to reply. Anyways absolutely love you videos.!!
Hey thanks wow. ! Me too. U ever drive by gold stream park on the highway before ice cream mountain where they just widened to 2 lanes? I always see so many stains and (stringers?) Seems of oxidized minerals there. I have to have double hip surgery...but have been dying to take some samples...thanx again for your respons👍👍👌
911 Mining & Prospecting. Nice! I’m planning a trip deep into the mountain wilderness this summer, see if I come across a few nuggets. Great videos btw!!
To be panning for gold would be awesome. I've always had a fascination with The Gold Rush and the 49. But just to be in those places... I would just enjoy being there. Im so intrigued again. Thanks.
The Gold Rush in 1849, was not for the people who were wanting to come and pan or even slush the creeks and rivers. It was for people like my 4"th great Grandparents who came around the horn and set up a farm with a nice store and sold the vegetable and meat they raised as well as canned goods and some flour and sugar. The other set came overland with a saw mill and other things in their 4 wagons to be in business and my Grandmother was a seamstress as well. Both sets of Great - Grandparents were Smart enough to have known that people were not even thinking about food or other things just gold. THAT'S HOW PEOPLE KEPT THEM SELVES AND THE FAMILY ALIVE AND MY FAMILY ARE STILL ON THE LAND AND STILL DOING VERY WELL. FROM 4 came 8 and now we are over a hundred and we all still benefit from the first 4. Isn't the gold Rush wonderful.?😁👍😎
BC, Canada, cant dredge here unless in a non fish bearing creek or stream only on bedrock with a max nozzle size of 1.5" and you need a permit. Basically impossible and not worth it.
Vittorio IMB their is nothing easier to sell than raw gold.jewelers; your neighbor; pawn shops ; you can make jewelry and sell it on line All ladies love gold .most folks have never seen it in person.thanks
Video starts with dirt already in pan.. so noted. It appears that the camera has better eyes than the guy doing the panning as I saw alot more than a few colors.. alot of fine yellow. Also knowing that it was there I wouldnt be pushing out the bigger rocks with your hands so fast because you might just be losing way more than you think. You need to sluice that stuff really well . Thats some nice gold there for sure.
Glad to see ANYONE finding the gold...as a 15 year Alaskan prospector you need to work on your panning technique...you aren't stratifying your material enough which is important when you are testing an area to know true yield...nice course gold though, keep at it as the source could be within arms reach
I would love to see where this gold came from, like the holes it was dug from possibly more details as well not just pan after pan of amazing gold. Much respect and all, I just wouldn't be showing gold this good and easy I wouldn't even be making videos id me mining it..
We have about 20 other videos from this spot up that show where we took our material from. This was the first video from the spot. There so many restrictions in this area we where limited to hand sampling, we recently optioned this portion of the property to a private exploration company.
@@911mining really? Can't dredge? That really sucks. Let's just hypothesize and say someone could take the time and get a dredge in there, who would know or find you? Could a zipline be used from a road to get one in? Are highbankers allowed? Do tell!
Placer County , Ca. Lots of gold in them there hills , Ive been there panning pretty good , Yuba River too , Just dont tell everyone ! Watch out for the rattlers !
WOW!!! That is the shit right there. I would be setting up camp and not leaving till the water refreezes. Congrats !! You have something rare there !!!
Franklyn R. Ben-Khaled Garrett makes the standard of the industry for any scale or phase of mining.these green pans are 90 percent Garrett. thanks from the Pacific Northwest.
Snuffer or tweezers sometimes. Usually take all the stuff back and pan all the fines at the shop. Most of the exploration we do requires assesment reports sent to ministry of mines for our exploration programs so we need exact measurements we also sometimes have the fines, black sands, sulphides ect. ..analyzed so it's sometimes it's easier to put the cons in sample bags and label them for further examination or processing.
It's our job. We are an exploration company so we spend half the time on hired exploration programs and half on our claims. We make enough to pay the Bills....winters slow though...
With pans like that you could quite work! 20-25 pans like those a day and that would be a good living!

Wish I was there.
Always wondered how a person panned for gold. Now I know, with your video! Thanks so much for making this!

All I have to say is have at er don't get caught by the company we sold this claim to. They paid handsomely for this ground.
@@911mining
#1. I ain't no claim jumper.
#2. I don't even know where this is.
#3. If those pans were real, ain't no way you sold it.
Well done guys, I’m happy for you. Make everyone want to get their pan and head out in search of the shiney stuff.
I WISH there was gold like that down here in Georgia. My God...
Awesome gold and what a spot. Now I know what a real rich spot looks like
Wow! Dream pans every pan, so good. Your research and exploration paid off there
Fantastic score. Well done, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you.
I would be happy to get 5 pans like that all year. Nice THANKS
Enjoyed every pan!
This is great, it’s all about the thrill of the hunt.
With my luck I would end up getting so excited about the gold. I wouldn't pay attention to the Cougar about to drag me off into the woods.
Yea, when I have my Gold Bug, there may be half an hour go by b4 I look up. Damn near walked over fishermen b4. A bear would just sit and giggle as I walked right to him.😆
Good Lord can you imagine the gold that you would find if you had a sluice box hooked up this is Elvis man

Great find ! Pans like that are what dreams are made of, well done guys !
Nice pickers there buddy, greetings from the Adventures in Gold Rush team 🧈🧈🧈
Would you consider setting up the high banker there? You panned out some beautiful gold! Great job. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
Yes it's super hard to to this area and we optioned it last year the lower area we can still get to but it's a few hour hike in each way.
@@911mining I thought it might be or you would be on it already. Thanks for responding to my comments.
i've done some panning years ago and i remember how yellow the gold was.
Where dear
Most of the fine sand in the bottom of the pan is very fine gold. Watch on a rainy day where the water runs down off the Mountain the rain will be washing the gold out of the rocks in to the stream.
So, black sand is gold?
That fine sand is probably what my grand pa called milfinos.

Cool to see your finding gold. Keep up the good work

I hope you put in for a claim on that whole area cause you got something good there just waiting for you to find it!!!
Awesome finds
You had serious problem getting me out off this creek again ;) Subbed for sure!
That's amazing, thanks for video 📹
I wouldn't have stopped at ten. I'd still be there. Yeeha! Great video!
Ya killin me smalls !! Sitting here watching you find gold while I watch snow fall.....🙇♂️

@@joeyfussell282 Oh man! I'm way too far out in Melbourne Australia . I hope you get the chance to start panning sometime soon.
Where is the source? Gold that rough has not traveled far.
No it hasn't we are still looking it's a relatively newer creek which has formed in a canyon beside an older one. Bedrock is very shallow in most areas we hope we find the source soon.
That would explain the lack of black sand compared to the amount of gold. Also why it is so chunky and not beaten flat by rocks.
Yes it would :)
At first I thought this was in America, but when you said 2-3 kilometers away, I went to your profile page immediately to see where you're from LOL
Very nice thank you for sharing

ron dill i
is this vancouver island by any chance?
I cant even imagine whats sitting in the bedrock cracks, if thats just the looser material! Incredible gold.
Just out of curiosity do you try and collect the fine
If we are sampling for lab analysis yes, not to worried about fine if we are just collecting.
I'm a beginner, and would like to see why you pick where to pan, reading the river, how to find the gold, also.
When you scoop out the pebbles after you wet the pan, what makes you think that you're not removing small gold nuggets as well?
Gold will make it's way to the bottom in a matter of seconds. You look at what your pulling out before you throw it away too.
Where are you finding this at?
Wow!!
Amazing !!
Big nuggets and almost no black sands
Anyone using only a pan there must not want to make money
That's what we love to see!
Awesome video love watching are you guys in Oregon it looks like my woods
BC, Canada
Wow they are big pickers!
Whoo-wee! Looks like you found a great spot

This spots not ours anymore we optioned it to a company, this was actually a totally random find and one of our first good placer deposits.
I always wanted to do this it’s on my bucket list
