- Its been too long! More on that in another video.
I decided to checkout the headwaters of the Red Deer River in Central Alberta. Glacial flour gold does show up in the river at the Innisfail bridge, so I wanted to see if gold is also up in the foothills. Check it out!

Example
My wife bought me a novelty Get Diggy With Gold Bar. From it, you can find a number of different minerals. I decided to share with you the results!

Miss your vids. Hopefully you’ll get out to the NSR soon
Yeah life gets in the way, I'm not calling it quits yet. Stay tuned!
Great work fam. Keep getting that au & living the dream fam. Gold squad out!!!
The squad is always out here supporting. Every gold prospecting channel I've ever seen has a comment from gs. Gs is the best
thank you, much appreciated!
Good to see ya back "Out There Diggin"! Git Dat Gooold, Brother 🎯😎👍
Its been awhile, thanks!
Welcome back Dave! Looked like a nice day out and you didn’t get skunked.
Wait till I go to BC, then you will see some skunked lol
You`d think it would be much better closer to the big rock pile eh? specially RD. -Thanks for letting me know about that campground Dave .
no problem, good luck
@@BackyardProspector Oh hey Dave I`ve been doing some homework about our province ,And the reason there`s not much gold around there is the rock is to young , Geologists figure the area around Calgary is only 66 MYO anything north of there starts at 260 MYO, The NSR was a major water way during the Permian Era that was before the Triassic Extinction Boundary it was when the whole planet was altered any soil seam you see above and below the coal seam is just that below the coal seam is Permian 260 MYO and older before global mass destruction the BIG BOOM of the Comets and Pangea possibly starting at 201 MYA --Anything above it is Triassic we have to look wider we go to the waters edge sure we find it look at the BIG walls of the river valleys before the Triassic everything we see today is after the sedimentary shift all of Alberta`s mountain ranges are too young some say that a comet hit earth from space and threw gold all over the planet as the shift happened it was moved and melted distributed all over our planet as the volcano`s erupted the water trapped in the rock created mantel pools then got forced to the surface to which making quartz and gold Basically the ground between the mountain range rogers pass and your way is young the major inland sea was shifted and moved as they arose the continental push of Vancouver into the rock pile is older Pre Triassic ,, I`ll see if I can find that documentary on this and what was going on very cool .
@@GarnettM thanks for that response it was very informative. I was not sure of the age of rock in south western Alberta as it borders the North American Craton. The general consensus is that the flour gold found in central Alberta is mostly from glacial till from western mountains in BC. I am not so sure however as the vast amount of it could not have come from singular sources and veins. I have read theories of a caldera volcano (near Kamloops BC area) blew millions of years ago and fractured the bedrock for hundreds of km. The resulting mineralization from the uplift seeded the ground and presents itself in the oldest layers of sediment that can be found in the NSR valleys (since fossils are also found in the banks of the NSR).
@@GarnettM thats great Ganett, please let me know how it turns out. PM me at goprospecting@gmail.com perhaps we can meet up and collaborate! Thanks
Thumbs up 👍
Thanks 👍
🖖good to see your out.
awesome, thanks
Getting out there and doing it that's the way you do it
absolutely
Where to buy a pan ???

I can imagine how much gold he lost just by panning that hard and loosing so much from the pan
When prospecting you are just sampling hard and fast. If you see anything, you go back and do it again much more delicately.
do you need a permit to do any of this?
to pan no, to sluice yes you need a license in Alberta.
You obviously have no idea of how to charge the gold streak
obviously
