Exit 38 off i90, excellent access spots to the Snoqualmi river and full of sand banks with visible placer gold on the surface, great place to pan for fun and for bridge jumping.
@@artt8381you can pan anywhere you want as long as its not in the salmon spawning beds or no trespassing signs. the winter waters are tearing through there right now, would be best to wait for low tide.
@@StevenHanover there are strict regulations on gold panning in washington, you need to get the washington fish and gold pamphlet. You have to have it on you. It will tell you the rules. Then you have to make sure you're not on a claim. It could be public property and the mineral rights belong to the claim owner. It's best to join a prospecting club and go to their claims
Great video!!!! Thank you for sharing how to properly pan for gold!!!! I've really been in to the Discovery Channel gold shows for many many years. My good friend Wendell used to work with Tony Beets up in the Yukon and make gold dredge equipment for the Beets crew. He's been on multiple episodes of Gold Rush. But I've always wondered the steps involved with properly panning. So thanks for sharing this video!! I'm actually considering giving Western Washington gold propecting a shot!!
I have a place that’s on the top side of a skip bar that is refilled every year. All the heavies drop in the top end of a skip bars because the gold travels a few inches off the bottom and gets caught on the bottom bank edge of the skip bar. It’s essentially a gold trap for flooding gold
Thank u for teaching more about how to finds gold in different areas on a river bank it was more information than i get from the main channel ones like tasseys pinoineer pual and anyone eles
You can use a cheap 200$ metal detector too locate the heavy black sand area's and the drop out boundary lines as it saves you at least a hour Worth of back breaking rock tossing and digging , hopefully that tip helps you, awesome time on the river, wishing you heavy pan's full of that Au✌️
Great video, thanks for the tips! I am in Vancouver Washington and fairly new to prospecting so looking forward to more of your videos. New subscriber.
Nice work on the L river I’ve done some prospecting there got some gold in it ,is just flower gold nothing big but like you said it’s a good place to try if you never done it before . I’ll be prospecting and good luck 👍 I also subscribe
Flood gold has no a cumulating concentrated locations. Unless rewashed by waves of a lake or the ocean. And sometimes drops in elevation that ends in a giant eddy in the river were again waves move the lighter material down river. And leaves beads of blacksand. That is shifted to concentrate the gold more in one spot. Otherwise it's just blasted around. And is lost to having any redeemable value except for having some fun panning for a few colors. But it's all redundancy without a traditional rockerbox that has the old flexible aprons. And not the new age rockers that have solid pockets. As for that' all's you need is one goldpan and two people. With one constantly adding more material while the other works the pan. And is what I call industrial panning.
Head toward Liberty Washington and check out any of the rivers and creeks in that area. You will see lots of tailings piles from the original mining operations, but there is still gold in this area. Just be careful that you're not on anyone's claims or private land.
You would think, but I've worked the river upstream and downstream on the spot and for some reason the velocity is just right and this one little area. Nothing upstream very little downstream
@@GoldenPenniesProspecting one person gave a vague direction. I am from the area so I was clarifying. Lol right now I'm looking for ANY directions for prospecting in the area.

Thanks just moved to the area been looking for a spot, that one at exit 38 i90 is not too far from lake youngs and Renton!
How do you know if it’s legal to Pan there?

Very good lesson, now there will be 10,000 new prospectors next time you go to this spot. Nice to have admirers.

Very interesting looking👍⛏
Great video showing the process. Very interesting 👍🤠🐊
Thank you
I know that spot well. I live about 7 minutes from it. Lol That's actually where I got started. The river changed a lot since then.
Wonderful place! I love that! I wish I was there!!! Thanks mate. Rei do garimpo from Brazil
Thanks!
Great narration!
Thank u for teaching more about how to finds gold in different areas on a river bank it was more information than i get from the main channel ones like tasseys pinoineer pual and anyone eles
I appreciate the compliment and I'm glad that you found it helpful.
I caught a lot of Steelhead right there is the 80's. HUGE steelhead.
Looking forward to more videos from your channel.
More to come!

New friend here 👍💪👍 keep up the hunt.. awesome video
Thank you! Will do!
Very informative video.
Thank you.
You can go down to a much finer screen all gold is suuuuuper fine in the Cascade foothills.
Those holes are pretty large
Great video, thanks for the tips! I am in Vancouver Washington and fairly new to prospecting so looking forward to more of your videos. New subscriber.
Welcome aboard!
Ano good video. Thanks
oddly looks like the cedar river... just got my first gold pan ever and want to learn more!! great vid!!
is it the cedar????
If you're interested in poking around in the area, let me know Ry. I'm always happy to have company.
@@GoldenPenniesProspecting how do you determine where you can look for gold and where you can't?
@@scrotex6592 No. Although I have found gold in the cedar. This is the Lewis River
@@MIRVECTORA best to stick to publicly owned areas and to watch out for claim signs.

Thanks. Maybe I'll see you out there. Good luck! Subscribed
Nice video! Wish I knew there was gold in them streams when I lived up there. In AZ now and I am able to find the shiny. Take care! I subscribed.
Thanks!
Mayer, AZ billion dollar tailings piles everywhere.
@@StevenHanover sure if you can get access to the claims. Mayer is taken but there are plenty of other spots to find some gold. Love it here.
My brother has friend has been working some place in your general area, first name Bart.
Vancouver island has some good panning spots
New sub here , truly enjoyed the video........
Awesome! Thank you!
ahhh. I know where you're at... kids and I go rock hounding there too.
Cok iyi bir video

Any of those debris places act like miners moss ......
I live in Kitsap county near Indianola Washington I've never found gold before I'm not sure where to start looking!
Head toward Liberty Washington and check out any of the rivers and creeks in that area. You will see lots of tailings piles from the original mining operations, but there is still gold in this area. Just be careful that you're not on anyone's claims or private land.
Is that the Puyallup? Been thinking about hitting the Puyallup but idk
No. Clark County.
Wondering what river you're visiting in this video.
This is the Lewis River in Clark County
What river is this?
Lewis River. East fork
Where in Washington
?
Lewis River
The gold would have dropped out closer the beginning of the flow, rather than farther back toward the end, don’t you think?
You would think, but I've worked the river upstream and downstream on the spot and for some reason the velocity is just right and this one little area. Nothing upstream very little downstream
Sure been mcnasty rain
Lol ya nice wen it rains only wen inside lol
What River is he at?
Lewis river
Is nobody going to comment on that furry head and shoulders at 16:41?
exit 38? off 90 you say??
???
