In this video, we battle king tide waves while beach mining in SW Washington. You can learn our process for running Gold Cubes and finding gold in black sand on the Washington Coastline. This information will also apply to other beaches with similar deposits of placer gold. You will need an HPA permit, NPDES exception letter and the Washington Gold And Fish Pamphlet. You'll find links below for all of the resources you need. I also demonstrate how my homemade gold cube sand hopper works. Gold prospecting on the coast can present unforeseen hazards like sneaker waves. Never turn your back to the ocean and know your limits.

Nice set up guys...all gold adds up my friend!
It sure does!
Süper bir çalışma olmuş emeğinize sağlık
Awesome! That was a fun day! Looking forward to the next!
I'm hoping to see a lot more color the next time! That was a beautiful day though!
Still looks good, do miss the old days where we were fetching .50 gram a bucket. Keep the dream alive!
Hopefully we'll see that again!
@@prospectingforadventure only if you have multiple huge storms or 12 years from now, when the jetty needs to be repaired again. Still some better pockets to be found this time of the year down on section C to the right. Good luck out there.
So like 56 buckets = 1 ounce in the "Old days"?
Damn that surf is treacherous.
Great Video! There are some beaches here in Massachusetts that produce gold and it was great to see your system so I will know what to look for.
Yup, anywhere with thick black sand, deserves a test. Thanks for the compliment and watching!
Cool video! Very informative, inspirational, and love the edits! Also, I love the drink holder on the setup 😂 genius!!!
I was secretly waiting for someone to notice the drink holder. 🤣 Those little comforts make a big difference. Lol Thank you!
A whale of a time 🌊 ✨
Sure was! Lol
Wild location. Good luck searching for gold.
The black sand makes it difficult !
Yes it does! Good luck to you as well!
Hey great day on the Washington beach heavy pans
Yes it was, thank you!
Snake sluice, make a sluice that flexes with the in and out wave, but catches gold, 0 hydraulics. It could be 3-d printed. Oregon needs that cause hey if you make it out of non-plastic you could sap beach nuggets.
Those are dangerous. Your crazy for being out there. One of those waves could push you over hit across the head with a log knocked out sucked back out
Another nicely edited video! Your screened auto feed is a nice touch! Maybe someday we could plan a trip to the beach! See you soon!
Can't wait for our spring trip! I'm going down soon to do a little scouting.
@prospectingforadventure Great! Let us know. If you get time, stop by our claim. There is a spot that I have been curios about. Maybe you could test it.
@timberlinegoldprospecting2358 yeah I want to float my dredge around and try a few spots. Might need to cut a new trail.
Aww man so lucky! I know a spot up there that’s insane for AU. But hands and pans only haha.
On the beach?
I live near a Beach in Oregon and brother I see exactly what you are seeing.
What's your best way to extract this beach gold?
I see you using a couple of gold cubes so I would assume they work well for this type of deposit.
There is a story of two old timers who found their fortune and glory from a beach now called Whiskey Run. They made history and the gold rush was on!
Yes the gold cube is ideal for this type of gold. You aren't supposed to run a pump on the beach in Oregon though. You can gravity feed it in. Check out America's Back Yard Gold on Discovery. I helped run the cube in the Oregon beach segment. Also, check out PNW Prospecting on TH-cam. Gannon set up the gravity feed.
Cape disappointment Is neat place still good gold
It just takes more work now. It was really good and easy there for a few years.
Iv heard
@@prospectingforadventure i was surprised on permit thing
do you have a video or photos for that hopper?
When digging down (at Cape D) I seem to always always hit water at around 3 feet. Do you just work through it? Also, do the black sand layers change after each storm or is it necessary to avoid previous diggings? A few days ago they had signs up saying the park would be closed Sep 24 through March 25.
It might depend on how close to the surf you're digging. Or the tide. We didn't hit any water in our hole. I haven't seen anything about a closure. Maybe it's just for camping or something?
@@prospectingforadventure signs were posted in different places on both sides of road inside park. Park will be closed Sep 2024 through Mar 2025, hopefully its just for camping. I took this picture just after the big storm 2 weeks ago. Campsite B had been evacuated and was closed off, so I thought maybe it was for repairs, just a guess. Guess I can't post a picture.
Oh maybe it was for repairs. I'll have to look online. I think they got hit pretty good by surf.
So permits cost more than you can recover?
Permit is free, just a time consuming hurdle for the time being. You can find details here.

Question on the WDFA. I am at the application process and not sure what to put in some of the fields. I selected mineral prospecting and other than suction dredging. Put my name and other stuff. Single or Multiple private individuals. Then the authorized agent but I wasn't sure, same with property owners sections.
Am I in the right spot? Can you assist with some wisdom/knowledge this old man doesn't yet have?
I went to Treasure Trove yesterday and purchased some items so I can do some river work now. I know the WDFA is only required for beaches, but I figure, get everything I can now.
Looking forward to going out these with some people.
Are you on Facebook? Dan over at Prospectors Treasure Trove should have the info. If not, I'll have a chat with him.
This group on Facebook has people that recently got the permit.
m.facebook.com/groups/394547981299494/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT
Some of the info has changed since I got it. I'll post an update on that group after I figure out the details. Then I'll let Dan know so he can pass info out at the shop.
@@prospectingforadventure Yeah I was there yesterday, but we talked mostly about river stuff. I dropped 4 bills on basic stuff, and some paydirt to practice on. We did discuss the Gold Rush shows and why they didn't show beach mining, but that was about all we talked about that.
I think I have submitted requests to join or already joined the groups in FaceBook, but I will check that one. I have a pan, classifier, snuff bottle, scoop, bucket, mini self contained sluice, pump, etc so I am virtually ready. I do need some rubber gear to keep from getting wet and too cold.
@mbraden66 gold rush will have a beach mining episode soon. 😉😉
Well get all HPA details hammered out. Might take a few days. I'm glad you supported Dan's shop with your purchases. He's a friend and a great resource in the PNW.
@@prospectingforadventure Yeah, we talked about you, I let him know that's how I found out about his shop. I had planned on going last week but I thought I might have been coming down with pancreatitis so I didn't go. I only have one classifier, so will probably want on or two more, depending on rock sizes which are the most common. Obviously buckets, picks and other items. I'm hoping the paydirt bag gets my wife and daughter excited about it so they will want to join as well. Of course it means I might have to buy some more stuff, but what else you going to do with credit cards other than run up debt right?
Last night I was looking for a battery pack with a 12v output and the ones I found I kept thinking they looked like something I had seen before and I had purchased one in 2020 for a telescope that I haven't had time to set up so repurposing it as a pump battery.
I didn't get anything for cleaning bedrock or anything like that. I'd have to find some locations where the rivers have run before that other people haven't found, and that wouldn't be easy.
Thanks for letting him know. I have quite a few bedrock style videos if you want to look into what tools I use. It doesn't take a lot to get started. It's easy to run up the CC being a prospector. Lol
The state is not letting the ocen do the work, for a minimal human investment of materials and craftsmanship.
So when y’all say “colors” u really mean one color right? Gold?
Yes, that just means there are multiple pieces of gold in the pan.
@@prospectingforadventure I always wondered. Thank you!
@jimmylarge1148 you're welcome!

Hoorah!
You're missing something brother all that wood behind you is probably as good as gold in the place I live in...
You're not allowed to collect driftwood in that area. I know what you mean though.
magnifique
Thank you!
