Best high banking video ever.
I can dig it🙌
@@ColoradoGoldCamp lol did it pun out?
Your approach is so intelligent and well thought out. Kudos!
Enjoy your show I was wondering where you have been. Glad to see you on the channel again
Important info in the first minute. Well done
Dig smarter, not harder and increase your gold take! Yes!
You guys are awsome love your videos and paydirt. Thanks for everything.
We do what we can Justin, thank You so much for your support! :)
Good content and thanks for you sharing the information!
My pleasure BF, heavy pans🙌
No idea how I came across this channel, I was watching South Park actually the cash for gold episode actually. Anyway nice channel, man. Interesting stuff. Colorado looks like a really nice place.
Your my type of miner ...
The smart kind !!
Efficiency means more gold in less time ..✨
Where you put your tailings and the direction you work your grounds are all common sense but many miners overlook these things in there haste for color....
I enjoy your channel brother
Keep up the great informative content 🤙
⚒⛏✨
Yes exactly Minin, you are absolutely right! It is the worst when I come upon good ground that someone has hastily covered in their tailings for no apparent reason. Thank You, I really appreciate the support!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp hi Colorado Gold Camp if you want cach more easy gold you need a UNDER FLOW SLUICE SYSTEM with this sluice you dont need mat, you dont need pangreen to wash the black sand, the only thing you need with this UNDER FLOW SLUICE is a bottle snuffer check in youtube how work !!! If you will do please help animals street in Colorado, one hand wash another brother !!! God bless you 😎🥰❤😍😷🐴🦝🐈🐗🐕
I enjoyed this,the way you constantly discuss what and how your doing things keeps you drawn in .That's how I do my videos for the most part and you showed gold at the end awsome! Alot of your tips will help us drywasher poeple as well 🙂👍 liked and subbed
Good deal. You are right Andy n Amy! Much of this info does directly correlate to dry washing. Heavy pans you guys!
Good stuff D, I never thought of that footvalve trick thanks!
Yea, it's a good one and sure does come in handy!!
You're absolutely right sir. I was just out a day ago for two days straight and digging in a wash. I made sure and tossed all of my large rocks and my overburden (2 ft!) Well clear of my dig site. It helps to keep more dirt with no gold in it from filling up the hole you are digging.
Sounds like you moved a good amount of dirt Jason! It's amazing how small changes around the dig site can have such a big impact. Best of luck out there🙌
Great tips!
Very informative video. Thank you both for sharing. Subbed!!!
My pleasure Albertan. I enjoy sharing the little bit that I have learned over the years :)
Do you need a permit for that pump or due to it being 4" or less you're fine to use it? Colorado has a lot of funky rules and laws and I'm gearing up to take equipment to a spot I prospected via pan and shovel last summer. Just don't want to get in trouble. Also planning on staying a claim on the area I'm in as well if you wouldn't mind directing me to some good reference..
Love the vids and keep a sluicing fren!
That was great, cheers
Very nice video! I'm new to Colorado and just getting into prospecting. I find it interesting the amount of knowledge that you and others have regarding the geology of the areas you prospect in and when I'm looking at the rocks around where I live I wish I knew more about them. Do you have a degree in geology or did you gain your knowledge without taking classes?
Hello John. The best way to learn is to have an interest and delve right in! In college I studied Natural Resource Management Land and Water and did some Fisheries Biology. A majority of what I have learned regarding rocks and minerals came after I got bit by the gold bug post college. It's an interesting wild world out there!
Great techniques! Nice to have a shovel that likes to prospect, but it will sure work you.
Yes it will Jack! Passion driven exercise is the best! Thanks!
Appreciate the info. Of oil in pine needles.
Totally agree. I hate moving tailings twice!
No kidding! Even when dredging tailings management is super imports. Heavy Pans!
Excellent video brother
The gravel and rock look pretty free of fine dirt/mud filling the gaps which usually indicates it has been worked and re-worked by previous miners, and not too long ago. Finding only fine gold is another indication of working old diggings. Did your initial panning indicate this area was better than it turned out? Seems like a lot of work to set everything up and work hard all day for pennies. If you did this for educational purposes, well . . . that's another story. I loved the way you explain things as you go along. Great video.
Thanks Richard. Your assumptions/evaluations are mostly correct. Parts of this area have been worked in the past but we seek out the virgin ground among-st the tailings. Colorado in general is known as a fine gold state. A vast majority of the gold here is extremely fine in character.
Awsome vid! Need to get out and high bank soon!
Thanks Dude! Sharpen up your shovel n slang some dirt!
Thats a good looking pile of cobble stone ......
Heck yea, we've got acres n acres of cobble!
Dainis, great video and good tips. Did you guys find any gold in the dream mat sluicebox?
Thanks William! I sent the cons home with my digging partner. Hopefully I will find out soon!
..oh ..awasome vid
.😁
Great video, thanks
My pleasure Nugget! Hope you hit a new patch soon!
1 min in and it makes good sense
Did smarter not harder! 🙌
Great video, wonderful place, dream mat wonderful!!!
João prospector from Brazil
Ejo Joao! Absolutely, good luck down there in Brazil!!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp THANK YOU BROTHER
Awesome Video!
Thanks Doc! Hope you have a great weekend!
Really good video. Haven't done much Highbanking. We spend the winter's in AZ. the desert mining requires a Drywash. 😎
Gotta like sittin in the shade watchin a Cheesehead shovel😆👍🇺🇸
ahhahahaaaa! Yes! it's pure gold! This made me actually LoL! Aw, so good! If only he had brought some cheese curds for me to snack on ;)
Next month I’ll bring you cheese curds!
Hook a 4” pump to your high banker to move more material
Makes me wanna get my shovel and pan out and start digging....
OMG, I just saw your (wife's cold feet prank). "Get those cold a** things off of me". Cracking up
@@ColoradoGoldCamp i owe her big lol
Love your videos. I could be wrong but that doesn't look like "virgin" bank material. If that's by the Arkansas river, north or south of Buena Vista, which I suspect many of these placer videos are, that ground was likely already worked long ago. I prospected much of that area years ago. Most of the Arkansas river gold is extremely fine and requires a LOT of work for little return.
Nice video thx!
Glad you liked it!
Got a free week and of course it's snowing. Can't wait to get back up there.
Ahh, bummer. It looks like we have at least 1 more week of good weather. Maybe you can still get out!?
@@ColoradoGoldCamp heading up tomorrow til Friday. Thanks 😁
@@foreverevolving5759 Awesome! Way to take advantage of the good weather window! Good luck out there!!!
Allright break times over lol got to get back to digging lol....ive been told that many times on the job lol.....
I dont keep anything under a pound nugget...lol...truly enjoyed the video and seeing some gold......
Just like fishing, "throw back the little ones to let them grow a bit"! hehe ;)
@@ColoradoGoldCamp lol yes 👍.....
thats some nice gold, question i have did that come the old timers tails or virgin ground? just subscribed
Hey Yooper. This particular spot is virgin ground but the old timer tails produce also!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp that is real cool, to find virgin ground thats workable
Did you go to the Colorado School of Mines? Just curious.
Looks like nothing but fun ! That isn't work... It's recreation 😁
Recreational work ;) I call it mining!
Number one, you have to find gold first!
Absolutely right Pat!
I live in nevada around the biggest mines in the world. I've found gold but very fine. Best luck looking around old mines, sometimes they leave ore laying around or from spills. Some better areas farther away. Good luck to you!
Just a wonderins .. we're you the bloke in Alaska.. with ya team ..and leasing of some silly ol coote ..who was tryin to get %15 of the take ..
That is the steepest sluice box I've ever seen.
What is your engine pump brand and model ?
This is a Honda GX200 with a Keene p180 pump. Great setup for up to 250 feet highbanking or running up to a 4" dredge.
Hey bro I'm lookn for a place to dredge near Frisco co. Just about done building my first. Any suggestions?
Hello Mike. Honestly your best bet might my our Club Claim. Otherwise you need your own claim or you could go down to Clear Creek Canyon.
ok I found the web site and all. ty. I will come down for a sluice and possibly dredge if it looks promising. Got any new claims or know of anyone wanting a dredger for a lower cut? Im trying to go full time. My career is basically offline until a vaccine comes out. Ill be out there today. look for the camo. Thank you for all your time, Your video's have been great information on my new path.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp bah truck broke down on the way out.
If I can do two thumbs up, I would.
Hehe, David! Thank you my friend, that just gave me a good chuckle n smile after a looooong day🙌
More dowsing videos please
Ok
Thought that sandwich would ,give your yapping a break , not the case
Make more at McDonald's
You're smart alright!.. But your sluice is clogging up and not self cleaning, so You're probably losing gold
Talk less shovel more possibly get more gold..
It's certainly possible!
You are correct to add the metal detour too save water good job.. ha just to let you know I have started a claim posting service first 80 ac 4500.oo sale gets one of my secret spots guaranteed gold in 30min or less. On eB and cL but hopping for a 82.4 claim service posted recorded and sampled with video and gold found goes with sale
