I have gold in the creek that I live on and after hundreds of hours sampling and dredging, I have come to the conclusion the gold is not coming from one source but many all along the creek as I have found many quarts stringers with gold in them, seems to be bleeding off these veins the whole length of the creek...
Nice area and great description on why and how. It would be nice to find the load location. You could be close to something not many find. Thanks for the stream. Keep up the good work.
If I were you , I'd camp out there for a week with a stream sluice and get the mortgage taken care of ! Love your videos - not many places in michigan near me where you can find gold .
Good stuff again guys! I'm only an hour and a half up stream from you guys and am always game for prospecting,exploring and learning! If you guys ever feel a third man would be helpful or just to mix it up on your trips here or to the mainland hit me up! I'm self sufficient in the sense that I have everything a guy could need for exploration and prospecting,big rig,high banker/dredge,home built kick ass flail crusher,camp gear,dive gear,tools, etc......,run heavy equipment as well! By trade I'm a retired commercial diver.I like your no bullshit way! I would like to learn more about hard rock exploration and a guy can take all sorts of geology courses but doesn't mean shit until you have experience in the field. Rock on🤘
i really want to dig somewhere like you guys! i just dug 8' down to bedrock with a mini-excavator. the hole filled with water. i just finished processing 3 buckets worth...all i got was a few 100 minus specks. kind of hard to go to the bottom and dig by hand until the water goes down a bit.
am I biased if I always hit the like notification before I even watch your videos ? of course not , I know beforehand that I'm in for something entertaining and informational ( and we're both Canadian eh!). Love your channel so keep it up and I'll keep watching and learning.
Nice one. But if im going to watch you pan the whole contents please spin it and run the last out where there are no riffles. So much better for the reveal and by then all the gold hangs on the bottom lip. Surely you have faith in that. By then if it moves you see it . Cheers Bruce.
Listen to all the gold fever below...man! Gotta be careful, more nowdays than the old days... I just suppose yer in BC or yukon...I have Alberta gold spots...slim pickings but as soon as I set up my new sluice I believe I shall have much flour..actually a lot of it is in quartz...sand.

We may be able to get conservation and government approval for additional work trouble is were the creeks end up on this claim is protected. We also need the right permitting.
We sell to only a few suppliers in bulk our main focus is as hired prospectors and we sell and option claims to private, junior mining companies and the occasional individual. Il link one of the guys we sell to here he sells on ebay mainly.

Awesome! I was in North Auburn, CA , trying to get relief from the heat...Started a study of Gold Prospecting a few years ago so Im super excited about all of the versitlity that prospecting provides. So, here I was along a huge bedrock boulder, where of course, the water flow would, or if its a gold bearing creek/river, deposits gold. As I beging to look around and decide to remove some boulders that might be hiding "my big nugget" I am irritated by these bushes or reed type plants partially in and under the string of bedrock boulder. Im thinking...if the gold was deposited by the current and flow direction around these rocks There might be some nuggets caught by the roots of these annoying bushes. Fast forward, I spent the first day moving rocks 'I had n real prospecting tools with me, only my crowbar. Moved all I could and went home. The next day I came ready, slused about 4 buckets of the material under the water near the bedrock boulders and found 1 nice "picker! " Still more to come I am going back in a few days to explore some more! Thanks for your time! Cheers
Ok here is my question... you obviously have found a amazing spot to find gold.. DO YOU LEAVE SOME OF YOUR TOOLS HIDDEN SOMEWHERE SO YOU DONT HAVE TO HAUL THEM BACK AND FORTH EVERYTIME
911 Mining & Prospecting No, Irving Oil company knows there is over 2 billion in gold, silver and copper on one small mountain near me and can't touch it. I know I have silver on me but I don't have the money to fight the state especially if Irving is going nowhere with it. Plus, my great uncle mined over 2 million of gold in the 1920's. But those days stopped as a whole when WWII happened. All mining stopped. Sucks. But, we can pan, so that's what I will do.
So happy to have found your site. We have 22k up here. As a child I dreamed of becoming a mineroligist. Dream never realized but soon, maybe in retirement? I can play some.
Sometimes that's all you can do. Sort of the same situation with one of our placer deposits we habe it staked as a mineral claim. Due to the area staking as placers not allowed were also limited to panning...and there's good gold there.
Snuffer bottle, sometimes if there's sulphides it makes it difficult we usually suck everything up and save it as a concentrate of sulphides, black sands and we would have the concentrate refined if there was enough of it.
That’s a bunch of gold from a tiny Creek. What do you think the geological history of that area is for such an outstanding Placer deposit? In general terms, of course (not asking where it is).
Do you stay at these spots an mine then clean. I'm stoked about your findings. Question what would it take for me to get a bucket of unsearched or a box of ore from 911 mining. Would be fun & interesting, I'll upload it on my channel. But awesome work guy's. I'd probably fill every bucket I have an every pocket and backpack an pan before I leave lmao....
911 Mining & Prospecting Yeah no rush just a suggestion. Would be pretty darn cool and adventures. Love your spots an channel three thumbs up. Let me know anytime I'll pay shipping LoL. ✌
I wouldn't mind some as well if this is possible. I'll pay shipping and for the dirt if needed lol I prospect in clear creak myself and have some luck but always love panning from other places.
Gawd damn guys. What would it take to get a dredge/highbanker down there? I heard you say they are pretty nazi when it comes to regulations, but I bet there are loopholes just waiting for you. F.eks an electric dredge? Proline engineering would fix you right up with that. Hope to see lots of videos from this location in the future
I'd be lugging in an electric dredge for sure.... work it what ever times you have to to get the gold out of there... You would be on multiple ounces per session.. sorry but I couldn't stop myself if I found all that course gold.!!!
Can't stake as a placer due to the area. It's a placer deposit but scince it is restricted as a mineral tenure we are also restricted to hand sampling.
Marvin McNeil must depend on the situation of where it is growing! I removed moss from the river side and panned it 10 yrs ago and it looks like I was never there today!😉
Sounds like an environmentalist scientist 👩🔬 who probably shouldn't be walking through the forest because he/she is destroying it with every step! LOL 😂
At 0:39 seconds it looks like he throw’s something into the pan. Could it of been gold? Lol AND Then at 2:50 he completely changes the sand. You can tell by the color difference hahaha wtf😂
Maybe. Got to think of a metal detector to try and find the seam of dreams gotta be close good luck.does not appear to have traveled very far.so little overburden is a dream senerio for you
Nvm your channel has no content to research either what a bore I’m a prospector and if I can’t access area what good are your videos but teasers to real miners and what a dirty thing to do!
Very knowledgeable and informative. Thanks for the videos. Cheers from Miami
I like learning more about geology with ur video's. Are the New Jersey beaches worth trying for beach sand. Does that term apply to saltwater beaches?
Getting gold fever myself. Thanks for sharing.
Man,just one time, I would like to get a pan that looks that good. One that I didn't need a magnify glass to see the gold. Beautiful,thanks
Got some nice Pickers there
few nice pickers. well done👍
Man that was awesome! Beautiful spot i could watch this all day! Thumbs up!
I have gold in the creek that I live on and after hundreds of hours sampling and dredging, I have come to the conclusion the gold is not coming from one source but many all along the creek as I have found many quarts stringers with gold in them, seems to be bleeding off these veins the whole length of the creek...
Nice spot set up a tent !
Nice area and great description on why and how. It would be nice to find the load location. You could be close to something not many find. Thanks for the stream. Keep up the good work.
Good JOB !!! .....I'm trying to get enough to make new bumpers for my truck...
Awesome video! Really enjoy watching you pan... I actually had a dream I panned my first picker, the other night!
Awesome.
Hey why no new content.
Are you minning where those old timers left the ore because of zink.Those millions ?
Soon we have been busy on a project will post stuff starting this weekend.
If I were you , I'd camp out there for a week with a stream sluice and get the mortgage taken care of ! Love your videos - not many places in michigan near me where you can find gold .
Gotta admit a little jealous.great video . Thanks
Beauitful gold guys keep up the great work and vids!!
Man, you get two rewards there... Great gold and a beautiful spot to spend your time.
Good stuff again guys! I'm only an hour and a half up stream from you guys and am always game for prospecting,exploring and learning!

Dredge on Vancouver island… ahhhh ic ic
Great video guys.
Great gold!
i really want to dig somewhere like you guys! i just dug 8' down to bedrock with a mini-excavator. the hole filled with water.
i just finished processing 3 buckets worth...all i got was a few 100 minus specks. kind of hard to go to the bottom and dig
by hand until the water goes down a bit.
Excellent video keep up the good work wow always double-check you never know where you going to find gold, waiting for next video thank you
hey great vid mate.I love that shovel it must be so handy for digging River gravel do you know what it's called like what type of shovel is it???
I like your panning technique alot better than others. What types of rock should I look for and will gold wash off my shovel as I dig in a Crick?
It don't think it would was off unless the creeks flowing super fast.
Insane in the membrane
I wish I knew where to go and do this. My son and I have been wanting to try this for years.
He’s on Vancouver island
It just amazes me that gold falls to the bottom like that
Very nice gold, I wish I could get that type of gold were I'm from. Majority of gold is flour gold.
I would be very happy about a like of yours. 👍
Good job. Is there such thing as a copper nugget ??? I found one about a gram and a half in weight.
Yes, we have found a few.
Great spot guys! Very cool!
Nice looking gold.

Ohh yeah il bring food for 10 days and buzz for 15 days ;) Gooooood spot.
You sure seem to be onto some good ground.
Hi. I have qution after collect this pieces of gold melting or treatment by acid
Nice gold !!
Wow. Just wow.
Nice find
Very knowledgeable
Thumbs up
😎👍
How do you filter out all the fine gold?
I found a dime yesterday.
Nice!!
Good job
I like that
How Can I get there??
The environment is very beautiful, what state is this?
BC, Canada and it sure is!
i would love to spend a weekend there panning and small sluice
Where the hell are you prospecting at I’ve never seen such a high number of color
British Columbia
Listen to all the gold fever below...man!
Gotta be careful, more nowdays than the old days...
I just suppose yer in BC or yukon...I have Alberta gold spots...slim pickings but as soon as I set up my new sluice I believe I shall have much flour..actually a lot of it is in quartz...sand.
BC
I could tell by the smell of BC gold...hahaha...My heart lives in BC......Truly; But I had to kid ya...hehehehe

What is the chance of you guys ever being able to mine that deposit? Is there a way to get that land reclassified?
We may be able to get conservation and government approval for additional work trouble is were the creeks end up on this claim is protected. We also need the right permitting.
Question. Assuming that you eventually sell what you find, where do you sell it or whom do you sell it to?
We sell to only a few suppliers in bulk our main focus is as hired prospectors and we sell and option claims to private, junior mining companies and the occasional individual. Il link one of the guys we sell to here he sells on ebay mainly.

Awesome really...from Brazil 🇮🇱🇧🇷🕎
excuse my silly question, can there be nuggets lying around in the same areas where alluvial gold is found?
Yes.
How do you get the fine gold from the black sand?
Superfine can be smelted.
Awesome
Witch land are you?

Fantastic
Likeee
Nice video i think
You are best in this job
Thanks for watching
Im just looking but like your video
Someone hiding the truth how they find i creek Gold
Okay , so they only allow you to prospect then you can apply for real mining if you you are convinced that indeed area has enough gold
Ok here is my question...
you obviously have found a amazing spot to find gold.. DO YOU LEAVE SOME OF YOUR TOOLS HIDDEN SOMEWHERE SO YOU DONT HAVE TO HAUL THEM BACK AND FORTH EVERYTIME
You guys in Canada? Great find
Yes we are!
Where could I find the plan
I know there's gold in Maine but the state isn't willing to let anyone mine. Any recommendations?
Move haha. I couldn't imagine being in a place like that. They really don't allow any mining?
911 Mining & Prospecting No, Irving Oil company knows there is over 2 billion in gold, silver and copper on one small mountain near me and can't touch it. I know I have silver on me but I don't have the money to fight the state especially if Irving is going nowhere with it. Plus, my great uncle mined over 2 million of gold in the 1920's.

911 Mining & Prospecting I wish it was me but I know of someone else who did pan a 1.5 Oz nugget. Not bad I'd say.
*Excellet*
911 Can you explain to me how you remove the ultra fine gold you find in the pan as I am encountering the same problem when panning
Snuffer bottle, sometimes if there's sulphides it makes it difficult we usually suck everything up and save it as a concentrate of sulphides, black sands and we would have the concentrate refined if there was enough of it.
Thanks for the quick reply,I have been doing it this way and then using a strong magnet
Why can't you use a booldozer and load all that black sand to the tromey or sluice
You can't in BC, there's riparian area rules. You need permits for machinery even not near creeks or water.
That’s a bunch of gold from a tiny Creek. What do you think the geological history of that area is for such an outstanding Placer deposit? In general terms, of course (not asking where it is).
Really this area has little known workings most is 4 or 5km away, so we are still working on that.
good luck finding a nugget that big.
Do you stay at these spots an mine then clean. I'm stoked about your findings. Question what would it take for me to get a bucket of unsearched or a box of ore from 911 mining. Would be fun & interesting, I'll upload it on my channel. But awesome work guy's. I'd probably fill every bucket I have an every pocket and backpack an pan before I leave lmao....
Would have to be in a few weeks Il send you something were away from the island claims for a while.
911 Mining & Prospecting
Yeah no rush just a suggestion. Would be pretty darn cool and adventures. Love your spots an channel three thumbs up. Let me know anytime I'll pay shipping LoL. ✌
That would be awesome guy's ..those pickers are nice!
Good job
I wouldn't mind some as well if this is possible. I'll pay shipping and for the dirt if needed lol I prospect in clear creak myself and have some luck but always love panning from other places.
fuckin eh man .. lol . Ultimate placer deposit for sure . wow
Hey bro where are you at how about a county and stream or river not exact location but a round about area be nice 👍
British Columbia, Vancouver island
Gawd damn guys. What would it take to get a dredge/highbanker down there? I heard you say they are pretty nazi when it comes to regulations, but I bet there are loopholes just waiting for you. F.eks an electric dredge? Proline engineering would fix you right up with that. Hope to see lots of videos from this location in the future
Getting it downs the problem, long ways to carry. Currently were also restricted to panning 😔
If there is a will there is a way brother
Gold Hog Flow Pan allowed?
I would say yes. Well habe to giver a try
I'd be lugging in an electric dredge for sure.... work it what ever times you have to to get the gold out of there... You would be on multiple ounces per session.. sorry but I couldn't stop myself if I found all that course gold.!!!
Are your videos from Canada?
Yes
👍😎
👌nice
Is that the placer deposit that isn't classified as placer? lol
Can't stake as a placer due to the area. It's a placer deposit but scince it is restricted as a mineral tenure we are also restricted to hand sampling.
the scientists say it takes 200 years to grow moss back I don't know if it's worth taking a little bit of gold and Rec in the Moss
Marvin McNeil must depend on the situation of where it is growing! I removed moss from the river side and panned it 10 yrs ago and it looks like I was never there today!😉
Sounds like an environmentalist scientist 👩🔬 who probably shouldn't be walking through the forest because he/she is destroying it with every step! LOL 😂
Good work, and great gold! Subscription and like you got from me. Dear Greetings Gold Washing from Germany
Thanks for watching!
wow
What state are you in?
BC Canada
Thanks.
At 0:39 seconds it looks like he throw’s something into the pan. Could it of been gold? Lol AND Then at 2:50 he completely changes the sand. You can tell by the color difference hahaha wtf😂
Maybe. Got to think of a metal detector to try and find the seam of dreams gotta be close good luck.does not appear to have traveled very far.so little overburden is a dream senerio for you
BAG IT AND SELL IT.
were
you ym ineg
Nvm your channel has no content to research either what a bore I’m a prospector and if I can’t access area what good are your videos but teasers to real miners and what a dirty thing to do!
Our videos are of our mineral and placer properties we wouldn't want prospectors to go prospecting on them anyway. There ment to be educational.
I smell a scam.
Salt your pans much?
hahaha no salting for us.
