My father-in-law and I drive to a claim for sale in the Boise Basin. It was a great claim, and we found a decent amount for gold for the small amount of work we did. However, I passed on the claim because it was not quite what I was looking for. Great claim nonetheless!
Yes I am aware of all the claim fraud that goes on in various states, which is why I personally verify every claim I visit on the BLM LR-2000 website. Great tool.
Once again Roger thanks for your Awesome editing skills.
Just came across this. Will be doing the exact same thing next week so this was good insight and it lets me know that what I had planned is the right way to go about it. Thanks guys!
Looks like you had a great time and a new adventure. Another great vid =)
nice adventure guys... love getting out and having fun in the outdoors...
nice music what an intro ,,nice creek any where,an everywhere,,garnets good sign ,,,march is near can't wait to see you two hit a pay streek,,good luck friends
Hey UP. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you guys had a good time!
I understand about making the claim "family friendly". Both of mine are near very nice camping spots with lots of ATV riding, fishing, berry picking, etc. available. So, my wife and kids like to join up with me. Keep searching bro. and you'll find the perfect claim!
Sampling is always fun - you just never know if you checked and found the BEST spot. I never am sure if I've done all I can, but sure enjoy the effort. Good video of what you did and how you went about it.
Hey thanks, ya I had fun doing it. Wish I would have had more time, Wow you have your own claim? awesome! I'll check your videos out.
Enjoyed the trip. Thanks.
Roy where ya been? Thats my Roy, lady i don't know no Roy, my name is Mathew Quigly. Roy you can take me if ya want! LOL Haven't seen it more than 50-60 times LOL. Great video respectable yellow stuff also! Keep up the good work, Ron
Thanks for watching and please share!
That blue pan really help the gold stand out. So did what you find even pay for the gas to get there and back? :)
Ya the blue pans are the best. This trip was more about testing the claim and deciding if I wanted to buy it or not, so we didn't process very much dirt which means our gas wasn't covered on this trip.
Thanks Brute, how you been, finding anything lately?
Thanks Indy appreciate the view
Wow, that's a long way from home. Rob Perry from THE GOLD ANGLE.
Thanks James!
you never throw dry dirt into a sluice..no wonder you aint getting anything. Gold is the ultimate hitch hicker and it will hitch hike onto any of that mud your making and wash right out...next time try soaking your pay in water first then sluice it..guaranteed results
Did you buy the claim?
We didn't. Too far from home. This one was on Grimes Creek in ID> , thanks for watchin!
check under the rocks and back of large boulders.
good vid guys yup fun with family comes first finding gold second best of luck with your search for the right claim happyhunting
For sure, I completely agree. Do you have a claim?
we dont have claims hear in ireland all we do is ask landoweners permission to get to river/stream most people say ok but were not allowed dredge or any kind of machinery only hand tools and sluice and no digging in the banks it pretty strict you can put in for a prospecting licence but only for underground mining but thats for the big corporations/the guys with millions the good thing is ireland is only in the process of being maped for minerls the last couple of years so panning is farly new hobby over hear apart from a small gold rush in 1796 in wicklow and the Ancient celts getting most of the easy gold many many years ago but thats why we are searching now to try and find the bits they couldent get and any new sources hopefuly lol best of luck with your adventure and happy hunting
Your sluice is not set up right , your blowing the gold out lmfao . Probably had alot more
yep, was learning at the time I made this one. thanks for watching!
UtahProspector i wasnt riddiculing you brother i made those same mistakes and have given alot back to the river , 1 in drop per foot of sluice , water should land an inch and a half past the riffles . Good vid
well based in what I saw , us wont be paying for gas anytime soon. The forest service is vicious and will stop u at every point .
Good Luck!
Ya we passed on that claim last year. Completely agree with you. Thanks for watching! Happy hunting.
