No Kidding! You guys are truly blessed with such good ground. Try the Mississippi Coast. Nothing around for MILES! Can't wait to get out to a place where I can prospect!
Man ..Andy .. so stoked.. Love seeing you in action and I CANNOT WAIT to get our plans started this spring....Trout,Cariboo, Okanagan here we come ..Watch out GOLD ... The Canadian Gold miners are coming to get ya .... gotta say your videos are getting more and more Au-some ... See ya sooner then later my man!!!
New to the channel. I love how all the people I am watching are friends and the more I watch the more I see how you guys are all connected. I love it. Wish I lived closer so I could join you guys.. keep up the good work. love watching yall.
No better way to start my Sunday morning than with a coffee and watching you pull some beAUty gold from the ground !! Way to go Andy , great video , great gold , great time , all the best to you in the new year and merry Christmas from the AUmigos to you !!
Right back at you My Good sir😁 it makes my day when I see your logo and your fantastic support. I was sporting my Aumigos hat the other day and people were lovin it, it’s poppin!! Can’t wait to get together again soon.
Well thank you so very much, I would like to see my next step be from producing (4yards per hour) to (40 yards per hour) that would theoretically make a 1/2 ounce an hour, now I only expect to sluice 4-6 hours a day but that still sounds tantalizing to me😜
Nice one Andy great haul bro And the pioneer turned up too Should have gotten him to dig For you with his trusty spoon LOL LOL Top dog too mate cool CrouchOz
Haha thank you man, it’s cool having a couple cameras running all the time, I capture some great moments, I over embellished that roll just cuz of how awkward the stumble was amd totally beat my that time of the day😆 lol
Is that a homemade trommel system or did you buy it? Also, have you thought about adding a smaller mesh sized outer tube to run the finer material in a separate sluice?
Hey there!! This is a Gold Claimer Concentrator brand trommel from Minnesota, it works so very reliably. The shaker feeder on top I built, I used a plate compactor as the vibrator weight with just a 1/2hp electric motor, the trommel runs on a 1/2hp Electric motor also. I like that idea of adding a finer screen on the outside, in fact I’m mid adding a larger size screen to sluice for nuggets separately, I would like that 3rd option to capture the fines. This model of trommel has a tailings auger which actually collects the black sands in a final concentration at the bottom with a drain to put it into a bucket.
I got the bug…lol… and I’m near the Sierra foothills. I been poking around and have been seeing very similar country…this past week I been hiking in high rocky drainages.. I noticed a couple spots a good 3rd of a mile up from the river, maybe half.. the sides of this steep drainage are washed out , and it’s showing these stratified gravel layers and rounded rocks…if the land inks open for mineral entry I should prospect it further right?? Like were that wash out is, I should climb over that “bank” and v start digging the ground and follow that yea?? I’m a total rookie…. But did find 1 single speck at the foot of that drainage around some tree roots and bedrock… crazy part is, there are like 9 or 10 drainages in this valley, and they all probably climb 500-1500 feet
rewatched this video in anticipation of your next video, watching you work with this smaller equipment knowing you have a new excavator and wash plant both sooo much bigger has me excited to see what you pull out!!! let's go
Great video not sure if u can go bigger in that tight area but on the yellow ,merry xmas and i hope your snuffer bottle is full of new years gold cheers Glenno
Yeah Andy great work on that video bro. It was awesome! So much work done there it was a lot of fun and we did a lot of learning, the next site will be even better. Man, I can’t wait to get my excavator and Trommel up there! The permit process took forever but it should be in my hands any day now.
Thanks very much! I appreciate hearing that. Funny I wasn’t a youtuber type either, or really big on watching youtube, but slowly I found myself here, talking on camera, which was such a massive fear of mine. It’s a lot of fun sharing the adventure, so now I feel driven to share the best as I can make it. 🙂🍻
Dang the most ive seen paid for scrap steel was $260 a ton in Ca. A half dozen large boulders will make a ton of weight quick. I used to have a 160 acre placer claim with a small wood cabin built in the 1940's with 4 fold down bunks on the side wall and a whole wall stone fireplace opposite end from entrance door. The creek disappeared into the ground there at upper cabin and than creek reappears flowing out of mountain from a hidden rock mine shaft drove into a natural underground cave at opposite end of claim to extract the cave placers with a large 1865 built cabin with a buck stove across from the natural cave entrance up the mountain about 300 feet from where the creek reappears. Cave has a natural 15' ft high waterfall the creek drops off inside the cave and replenishes the creek of gold flowing out of mine shaft every spring from the natural cave where the creek flows inside the mountain. Only way to travel is horse, motorcycle, atv or on foot. A buddy of mine and myself would cut 12" or 18" oak fire wood when traveling back and forth on atv's between cabins over the weekend to bring home. He knew a mexican landscape gardener that would pay him a $150 a cord till he gets a 48' ft semi flatbed trailer fully loaded of cut oak wood than takes it to Los Angels where he sells it for $360 a cord. Paid for our expenses, steaks, beer, weed, gas and more every weekend and more than we earned in gold which was only paying $365/oz when i first got the claim 16 .5 years earlier. lol! Than the forestry moved in and turned both cabins into stacked piles of wood and left the bottom half of fireplace still standing when they was closing up and sealing off all of the old hardrock mine shafts in the Sierra Mountains of Ca. Now people see the rock fireplace and cement cabin floor and 1st thing comes to peoples mind is "Look an old relic gold miners cabin site from the gold rush to the area in 1865". Thats just what it looks like, and sort of strange thinking to myself "Yep and Im the Goldminer last using it goldmining whos cabin it USED to be because you never would think so ever the site looks so old but its not...cabins were only torn down in 2006 😩
Your awesome Andy! GO BIGGER!!!!! I was going to say it no matter what!! Hehe But because I love it. Great tunes as well. And couldn't agree more. Filming yourself while doing real work is no joke. Keep going bro keep going!!!!!!!!
Present Brother ,, !! wow it is so amazing, my friend ,, the search for gold in this hole is very useful ,,! to get a lot of gold ,, !! Always success friends ,, !! greetings with the Indonesian Traditional Gold Finder ,, 💯👍💪🇮🇩🇲🇨🙌🙋👍👍
I couldn't help but notice you pull a Pauly fall at the 8:15 point of the video, lol. Andy you make doing the work of five men done by one look easy , you have amazing work ethics and commendable ethics toward nature . Wishing you and your family a wonderful and very Merry Christmas. Lloyd.
Keep your operation small, you will have better control on keeping operating cost down per ounce and make more money in the end and with out the extra stress of trying to break even, it's best to keep the fun in it which will in the end will be the biggest reward. Good luck.
The fellas make every day the real treasure, Gareth is abound with energy and tenacity, he too is a total pleasure to be around.😃 thanks for the kind comment
I can't understand why they don't put water in the cut when they get down to bedrock and use a suction dredge to get what's left behind. I've wondered about this watching all gold shows.
35 years ago I was working for a mining company and we hit a pocket that contained 250 ounces but gold was $285 an ounce at the time. Needless to say they went out of business because we couldn’t make the expenses but I learned a lot about gold mining that’s why I have a job now. But I still enjoy getting out there once in a while with my dryer washer. We don’t have creeks out here in the desert but I have a little hotspot I get about $90 a day in the gold. Any reason is a good reason to get out of the city.
There’s the man!! Thanks so very much. I don’t know if I’ve said it before but you were a legit inspiration in me stepping forward to start “sharing online” I was so impressed with how you worked soooooo hard, and could post pictures and field opinions without fear. I look forward to throwing down a pan with you and Aaron 1000 percent!
12 hours with geek squad and we could not figure it out, I took a break and went nuts at it and some how got it man lol I don’t know, I feel vulnerable now hahaha
Totally love it.!! Love watching you work the ground but using the digger bucket to fill ya pan is just EPIC.!!! Working and videoing is super hard but please Keep up the good work and keep up the vids dude.!!
How much gold is left because ya don't wash and suck up down to bedrock. Are you allowed to hydraulic wash and sluice the stuff that the bucket isn't going to get?
Lol exactly I did the same, I even froze it and zoomed in, it’s got the right sheen I just really said to myself I’m making a change of some kind to not miss these if they ever come by lol.
Wouldn’t it😜 they’re out there! They have to be, and when I’m sifting this much gravel in that area I should be trying for them lol I should add a water jet boiler box type thing
Good going Andy! 1/2 ounce is pretty darn good. Took me about 5 years to find that much! I like how you fill up your test pans using your tractor! That’s next level bro. Looking forward to the next one. The outtakes were good too. I can relate. It’s surprisingly hard to speak naturally on camera! Multiple takes are my norm...
Hey Andy are you doing a quick scout over the pay dirt and hole with the gold monsters 1000? Ps, I dropped this comment before seeing you whip out the sdc.....🥴🤪
Nice gold andy what a great find and omg my wife was on the phone the phone and when you fell she bursted out into laughter that was great anyways keep up the good work
I just subscribed to your Chanel. I’m in Texas and have gone prospecting once with my cousin in the Klamath river and forest in California at Happy Camp. He has a floating dredge system. Was fun and a lot of work and that was 8 years ago. Where do y’all come from and to ? Happy prospecting.
That’s fantastic!! Thankyou for joining the adventure. I’ve been to the Klamath before it’s amazing. We’re up in the west coast of bc Canada, most our mining is in BC. We can’t use dredges in bc but I think it is one of the most fascinating ways to find gold. 😀🍻
Hi Andy, I have two claims on a creek in central BC. I was wondering if you would be interested in mining it for me. I have road permits in place and working on my NOW.
To be prepared like you have shown me here. Wow! Enjoy watching your video. This is the first one of yours I've watched. It's so amazing how much gold does get left behind. Hi I'm Laura I live in Tacoma Washington. Ive been watching everyone on how to pan and look for gold. I've never thought that I could be out doing that kind work for it.
It makes me smile ear to ear to think I might just inspire someone. I hope you find every bit of adventure you’re looking for and I wish you the best!! Thank you so very much for the awesome comment 😊🍻
@@ANDYTHRAXX its going to happen im going to California January 11th to the 25th prospecting camping the next trip im comeing to see ya for a week or so
Yes! It’s always awesome when Pauly comes around, I love his input on the mining and he attracts gold lol. Auto Dog turns 12 on Jan 01, 2021 he’s been out there with me his whole life 🏔🐕🙂
@@ANDYTHRAXX Cool! We have had 3 Goldens!! Our latest is a female named Marky. She has claimed us for 7 years! Lol Real smart girl. Take Care Andy and Good Luck!! JJ
A half oz for 30 bucks a day is the way to go!! Dont go bigger. More money more problems with larger operations. Great video!! Love what you do! Much love from California 😁😁⛏⛏🍻
absolutely you should upgrade Andy. I'd be willing to invest if you'd put me to work helping you find the shiny... check out the loyalty of your pup at 8:19 in the video, he think you fell and got hurt. He gets up to come check on you., then you get up and run to the excavator and he's like, WHAT..., lol, Love it.
That’s so cool Matt, thank you. I saw that, how My pupster jumped up to come see me when I fell there, it melted my heart when I noticed and I felt bad that I didn’t go see him right away.😀
looking good Andy! Hopefully Trout is every bit as good.
Dan!! I trust trout will be every bit as, or more!! Truly beside myself to be a part of this, you are a world class inspiration and teacher☺️
Hey Dan! Hope your doing well!
Hey its Dan Hurd!
th-cam.com/video/OsoefmGkRa4/w-d-xo.html
It’s a pity the trout turned out to be a Red Herring but I loved the adventure
Great job Andy! There's more where that came from judging from the looks of that old-run gravel deposit!
I loved it all you got me laughing a few times! We are so lucky to have that kind of ground close to home 💛
Lucky to have a buddy like Andy
You guys are all the real gold, seriously.
No Kidding! You guys are truly blessed with such good ground. Try the Mississippi Coast. Nothing around for MILES! Can't wait to get out to a place where I can prospect!
Hey its @PioneerPauly
agree, the flour round here is loads of fun, but 100% profit free. Be amazing to live so close to a minable spot.
Man ..Andy .. so stoked.. Love seeing you in action and I CANNOT WAIT to get our plans started this spring....Trout,Cariboo, Okanagan here we come ..Watch out GOLD ...

I’m soooo notchy on camera lol, just endless outtakes some days😂 I really love that it made you smile.
Thanks
Right on, Andy! Looks like a nice little operation. How much larger are you planning on scaling up? Keep Up The Great Work!
Well thank you so very much, I would like to see my next step be from producing (4yards per hour) to (40 yards per hour) that would theoretically make a 1/2 ounce an hour, now I only expect to sluice 4-6 hours a day but that still sounds tantalizing to me😜

And the pioneer turned up too
Should have gotten him to dig
For you with his trusty spoon LOL LOL
Top dog too mate cool
CrouchOz
I totally should have! Lol thanks so much for watching 😁
Nice stuff man. I like the trip fall roll lay there trick you meant to do when pauly showed up. Good one. Keep the vids rolling

Great video my guy can't wait to see your channel grow. Its gonna be awesome
Oh gosh! Thank you a ton!! So happy you’re here with us for the journey.
Oh man that’s exciting seeing what’s under all that earth and ancient terraces thanks Andy for sharing good luck with the future work 👌🏼👌🏼
Can’t wait for you take to my trommel for a spin 😀
cool to see all that gold Andy :) would defo try scale it up a little more :)
Very nice production quality. Just found your channel and you have beautiful videos. You’re awesome man!
12:40 Those are some nice chunky pieces of gold right there! way to go! great vid, Have yourself a Merry Christmas!
I really appreciate the comment🙂 A Very Merry Christmas To You.
Do u test your tailings for gold washout?

Hell yes go bigger, just don’t go to big, do what you have worked for so long.
Be smart like you have been.
INJOY it you’ve earned it
Great video not sure if u can go bigger in that tight area but on the yellow ,merry xmas and i hope your snuffer bottle is full of new years gold cheers Glenno
You are bang on with that, really I’ll be moving just a little out of that narrowing to a large and much flatter area. Excellent observation 🙂
Yeah Andy great work on that video bro. It was awesome! So much work done there it was a lot of fun and we did a lot of learning, the next site will be even better. Man, I can’t wait to get my excavator and Trommel up there! The permit process took forever but it should be in my hands any day now.
Thanks so much Bry! Yeah really it’s been one amazing lesson, so thankful to have you around out there and as a mine site neighbor , how cool is that.
I dig the wash music. It got the "Like" outta me. I'm not a TH-camr per se, but I like what I like. Great video.
Thanks very much! I appreciate hearing that. Funny I wasn’t a youtuber type either, or really big on watching youtube, but slowly I found myself here, talking on camera, which was such a massive fear of mine.

Keep your operation small, you will have better control on keeping operating cost down per ounce and make more money in the end and with out the extra stress of trying to break even, it's best to keep the fun in it which will in the end will be the biggest reward. Good luck.
Great video Andy those were some great numbers, I say go big in 2021✨⛏ Can’t wait to see the progress 😎
Yes yes yes!! ⛏😝 I like your style.
I have to call me dog away from the fast water too 😆 Great operation you have ⛏️
I never worried before but as of late he’s been more daring than normal lol. I hope your doing great man so stoked to see your name here.
Nice work mate, That is some awesome gold. Cheers for sharing.
I greatly appreciate the Awesome words 🙂
Nice job Andy! That's a great day. It's always cool seeing MOTO Mining and Pauly in your videos
The fellas make every day the real treasure, Gareth is abound with energy and tenacity, he too is a total pleasure to be around.😃 thanks for the kind comment
Massive well-done Andy keep the videos coming
Very much appreciated 😀 thank you
I would love to be out there mining but its winter time in NY
Excellent video. Wishing ya continued success. Love your dog the videos 👍
I really appreciate that, thank you🙂
I can't understand why they don't put water in the cut when they get down to bedrock and use a suction dredge to get what's left behind. I've wondered about this watching all gold shows.
Wow that’s so cool Andy! What a epic claim! Watched it with my son and he said daddy we should get one those and do that.👍 great video! 🤘
Oh man!! Nothing better than inspiring the youth. Your videos inspire me man, I can’t wait to see more of your claims and exuberant personality. 😀
So exciting!
I'm snowed and iced in, in the mountains.

Glad to see u got the computer issue figured out.. was it bad?
12 hours with geek squad and we could not figure it out, I took a break and went nuts at it and some how got it man lol I don’t know, I feel vulnerable now hahaha
nice bunch of gold,just started watching your channel this morning really cool.
Thanks so much for watching
Totally love it.!! Love watching you work the ground but using the digger bucket to fill ya pan is just EPIC.!!!
Working and videoing is super hard but please Keep up the good work and keep up the vids dude.!!
🇨🇦 @ 8:19 -8:25 I've fallen and can't get up......i said to my self lol that was a good one. Nice job.
That’s exactly how it was lol, it was such a goofy stumble in the first place I just gave in.
Would you be interested in mining ground in California. I've got ground that I estimate is $50 - $100 per yard
Great vid man!! Livin the dream!!! I gotta get a piece of equipment!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you sir, I appreciate that. I hope you get to use your machine to find the big gold😀
Awesome spot and it paid off! Fun video Andy thanks for sharing
That means so much to hear Jerry thank you, I’m truly inspired by your channel😀
Man after seeing this, and the results of the latest tests, I have a feeling you're going to do a lot better next year! Better put on an extra shift!
Hey moto, you and me second shift?!!!!🇺🇸⛏️
You’re my guy! Need you in the loader and managing the pumps🤪
I love it!!
That’s all you need to be well on your way😊
@@ANDYTHRAXX Dude It's gonna be an amazing season! I cant wait to show you what I found today!
How much gold is left because ya don't wash and suck up down to bedrock. Are you allowed to hydraulic wash and sluice the stuff that the bucket isn't going to get?
At 11:30 on the video is that a big gold nugget right after you toss that rock back in to wash it again?
Gosh! That caught my eye too, so golden looking too, I really hope it wasn’t because I never found it🙂
@@ANDYTHRAXX yeah it made me replay it 4 or 5 times :)
Lol exactly I did the same, I even froze it and zoomed in, it’s got the right sheen I just really said to myself I’m making a change of some kind to not miss these if they ever come by lol.
@@ANDYTHRAXX Yeah something that size would be a crazy find
Wouldn’t it😜 they’re out there! They have to be, and when I’m sifting this much gravel in that area I should be trying for them lol
I should add a water jet boiler box type thing
Man that is awesome. You guys have some killer ground there. I love that you dug this big hole with a mini ex and then fed a highbanker.
Good going Andy! 1/2 ounce is pretty darn good. Took me about 5 years to find that much! I like how you fill up your test pans using your tractor! That’s next level bro. Looking forward to the next one. The outtakes were good too. I can relate. It’s surprisingly hard to speak naturally on camera! Multiple takes are my norm...
Thanks man, Haha doing the test pans like that is fun. I’m definitely a multi take guy .
As I sit in my office working this man is living the Dream.
Very Nice Andy ! Where are you located ? Looks a lot like the spot Darcy was mining.
Yes that’s right, We’re in beautiful BC same as the “living legend” Darcy
@@ANDYTHRAXX Awesome. Would love to visit that area some day. It is beautiful. Thanks for sharing videos !
Hey Andy are you doing a quick scout over the pay dirt and hole with the gold monsters 1000?

Awesome job man good luck out there!
Thanks a ton! I Hope you’re doing great.
Loved your video mate. ⛏ Im looking for coins and relics 😂 Your killing it.👏

I’ve been to the Klamath before it’s amazing. We’re up in the west coast of bc Canada, most our mining is in BC.
We can’t use dredges in bc but I think it is one of the most fascinating ways to find gold. 😀🍻
Nice gold! Love to see the bigger operation.
Thanks very much !! We’re gonna do it and see how it goes 😀
Those jewelry grade nuggets should bring a premium over the spot price.
Hi Andy, I have two claims on a creek in central BC. I was wondering if you would be interested in mining it for me. I have road permits in place and working on my NOW.
Nice to see you getting some gold out, and really impressive by yourself!
I appreciate the support, thank you for watching 😀
You look like you’re having so much fun!! What a beautiful dog!! Good luck mining! 🇦🇺🌻👍
That was the most graceful fall I’ve ever seen 🤣 u done well mate! Enjoyed the vid thoroughly 😉
Totally a funny fumble fall lol, it was soft yet awkward 🤣 I was so exhausted by that point of the day I just kinda noodled hahaha
Andy, thanks for showing your methods, and testing procedure, as a miner myself I've directed others to check you out! All forward! Miner Jim
Wow thank you!!
Such an excellent comment to hear, and it means a lot coming from another miner☺️🍻
You made my day!!
Some good gold in that cut. Hope it stays that way for a while. Love the shiny 👍
That’s just it, hopefully it goes for miles and miles😀
Thank you
Doin a great job there Andy 👍 filming and working 💪 top man!!
It’s comments like this that totally fuel a guy, much appreciated 😀
To be prepared like you have shown me here. Wow! Enjoy watching your video. This is the first one of yours I've watched. It's so amazing how much gold does get left behind. Hi I'm Laura I live in Tacoma Washington. Ive been watching everyone on how to pan and look for gold. I've never thought that I could be out doing that kind work for it.
It makes me smile ear to ear to think I might just inspire someone. I hope you find every bit of adventure you’re looking for and I wish you the best!!
Thank you so very much for the awesome comment 😊🍻
Freakin great soundtrack Andy :)
I love that you loved it😀 thanks very much
Awsome gold brother and set up definitely gonna have to come kick it with ya sometime and dig
Man!! The day you can come and play! I look forward to very much.🙂
So stoked to see your logo in the comments
@@ANDYTHRAXX its going to happen im going to California January 11th to the 25th prospecting camping the next trip im comeing to see ya for a week or so
Way to gO Andy!! Some Real nice Ag and A Visit from Pauly!!! Can't beat that!! Good luck in the hunt!! How old is the pup? Happy Holidays!!! JJ
Yes! It’s always awesome when Pauly comes around, I love his input on the mining and he attracts gold lol.
Auto Dog turns 12 on Jan 01, 2021 he’s been out there with me his whole life 🏔🐕🙂
@@ANDYTHRAXX Cool! We have had 3 Goldens!! Our latest is a female named Marky. She has claimed us for 7 years! Lol Real smart girl. Take Care Andy and Good Luck!! JJ
What a great set up love the video
A half oz for 30 bucks a day is the way to go!! Dont go bigger. More money more problems with larger operations. Great video!! Love what you do! Much love from California 😁😁⛏⛏🍻
Yes great point, that’s how we have worked this area for 4 years prior, it is amazing what a person can move over time by hand.
@@ANDYTHRAXX keep up the hard work bud!
Also love the out takes ALWAYS STAY TO THE END! SOME GOLD AT THE END!
😆❤️
Brilliant work of gold sir👍👍👍 and Thank You for sharing the good stuff🤩
So stoked you appreciate the vids, I’ll keep em coming and I hope keep getting better.😀
Thanks
absolutely you should upgrade Andy. I'd be willing to invest if you'd put me to work helping you find the shiny... check out the loyalty of your pup at 8:19 in the video, he think you fell and got hurt. He gets up to come check on you., then you get up and run to the excavator and he's like, WHAT..., lol, Love it.
That’s so cool Matt, thank you.
I saw that, how My pupster jumped up to come see me when I fell there, it melted my heart when I noticed and I felt bad that I didn’t go see him right away.😀
Solid haul..You are making things happen..Good on ya Andy..
😀🍻
@@ANDYTHRAXX Cheers bro
Right on! Great video!
I love how you load your test pan !!!!!!!!
Nice Gold clean up !!!!!
Lol thanks, seconds after the shot a big clump fell and flipped the pan all over the place😜
@@ANDYTHRAXX LOL !!!!! but you got the money shot !!!!
@@Smithsgold lol just enough to make it work☺️
Awesome! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, thanks for popping by 🙂
Great watching you at work
Speechless, absolutely amazing gold man. Job well done Andy. 👌👊
👊😝🏔⛏ thank you man! Were really hoping the deposits continue down the valley!
poor dog got worried when you fell 8:18
I noticed that too😀 I felt so bad I didn’t go see him after to let him know it was ok.
Dude that’s so crazy! Beautiful gold too! You livin the life man! Cheers 🍻🇨🇦🍻🇨🇦
