Great video! Very interesting for me, I never used a dry-washer before. We have enough water here in the Swiss mountains, currently even too much 🤠. Hello from a Swiss gold prospector 🤠👍
In Arizona as you can see we have to hole in our own water. Dry washing unless you have a recirculation system is the only way to do any kind of gold mining and prospecting. It is a lot of fun, but can be quite a pain. As you get very filthy from all of the dust lol But I’m so grateful you found the video interesting
@@ElleyKnowsRocks Yeah, I imagine, it can be a pain. But I never found an easy way to find gold yet :). That's why it's so cool 💪. Yeah it sure was interesting 👍. Looking forward to watch more of your videos!
Up away from the water line.you can where the water went up to during high floods.you can crevice and detect for nuggets too.as long as it's on the flood plain.on the higher benches along the river.
Great adventure!! Got one myself. I dry-wash in a little canyon off a bigger one. I got mine for privacy. There's nothing like running a big noisy Keene and having somebody walk up behind you while you got your ear phones on and tapping you on your shoulder. This way nice and quiet. Thanks.
Glad you made this video, I was looking at Desert Drywashers. But since acquiring a couple books by Sam Radding I decided to build my own. How ever it is really good to know just how effective a puffer can be. And I like the rhythm it produces, may have to use it for a click track 120 bpm.
Great video🙂 I give you props, I can't take that 110 degree heat so I'm done gold prospecting till it cools off again, it's still fun to go out to your secret spots for rockhounding after a good rain though👍
Thank you for giving me props. I love it just after it rains in Arizona it washes off all the dust and you can find some really great minerals that way. It makes it extremely convenient for her rockhound. However after it rains you can’t dry wash. Because the dirt is too sticky and gums up a dry washer so you have to wait till it’s dry. It’s a catch 22 lol
@@ElleyKnowsRocks 🤔Wouldn't it be cool if you could some how use the flash flood storms to your advantage, build a very strong gold traps on bedrock, go clean them out after rains, I wonder if that would work, like drilling it into the bedrock, probably not with all the clay that would build up, still a cool thought though, love your videos unicorn, hope to see more, take care.
Thar be gold in that there desert! Looks like fun, better than throwing it up in the air with your goldpan and letting the wind blow... if you can find any wind. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒
More drywashing 😎 awsome and your channel is exploding.I was going to have a small get together at our claim at some point I'll definitely keep you posted..though I heard the area got soaked recently lol
Great video. I switched to the Keene 160 “mostly” dustless. I love dry washing especially here in AZ where water is scarce but hate how much dust gets in my eyes and everywhere but the Keene 160 and the larger 190 are awesome drywashers and I’m not losing much gold if any the few test I’ve done at home I’m getting everything I’m putting in it Great content I gave you guys a sub keep up the great content. Where in AZ are you guys ? Where up in Prescott area. Heavy pans my friends
I feel like it’s not near as efficient as a high banker or a good sluice. You can get a lot of material that surfs off. But if you do have a good dry washer and you have your angle right and your vibration and your weight perfect you don’t lose too much. I work with some people that do an awesome job and their recovery is freaking spot on. Mine is not that great with this homemade dry washer yet, but it is going to get better. :) thank you so much for stopping by though I appreciate it.
Yes being that I live in Arizona that’s where I do most of my adventures and prospecting. However I do go out of the country occasionally to look for minerals like I’m doing now.
No worries at all. I do kind of bounce around and travel to different places to do consulting for rock hounding or prospecting.I love the Jerome area it’s very beautiful I would love to go hike around that area more than what I have

Being from Az myself and getting into prospecting, I love seeing what other Arizonians are doing and what works. Do you know what karat of gold arizona provides?

Awesome I’m glad you like it and it was helpful. Good luck on creating your own I hope they work well.

@@IveGotStones you actually can, some people use the culverts under highways and find some gold in there
Cool video, Drywashing is fun and one can do well, but detecting for nuggets is mostly my game

You bet there’s gold in the desert. Just Gotta know where to find it. :) sometimes it’s a lot easier than others LOL
@@ElleyKnowsRocks you bet cha
Love gold prospecting videos. New subscriber. I've never dry washed. But I dredge sluice highbank and pan. Awsome video thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching
Great job !

That would be awesome let me get back from my trip and I would love to come I won’t be back in the states until the middle of September

"inefficient way to find gold" Not true at at all !

If you want to catch finer gold use Keene 190 best dry washer made
And right ther with a water dredge.
Or high banker etc
The 160 does good to.
@@robertwolfe2971I agree, love my 191 system (190), gets good gold in Gold Basin where I live
You seem to spend a lot of time in Arizona. I'm 4 miles from Jerome and about 100 miles (through Prescott) east of Bagdad
Yes being that I live in Arizona that’s where I do most of my adventures and prospecting. However I do go out of the country occasionally to look for minerals like I’m doing now.
@@ElleyKnowsRocks oh, I thought Christian said that you were close to the Northern Cal/Nevada border - my bad

@@ElleyKnowsRocks I need how much
Big dry washer vs a small one.which one catches more gold.
That is cool. I’m going to have to get one
Which one works the material more thougher.
She pans like scared money at the blackjack table. 😂
Perfect for Cortez. Gold Baja California Mexico

18 karat is pretty normal:)
Hi Great video very interesting 👍
Valley FEVER in that dirt 😂😷😷
Quero uma dessa, como consigo as medidas?????
Its Placer not plaster, by i'm gone
Lol
You got a claim then decided to prospect.your half ass backwards in your thinking.
Searching for gold is prospecting, then they claim, then Mining
