Grey Silverback Yeah I thought of that too but when they mentioned grams I immediately wondered 'what's that worth? '. It does look like a blast, better then the daily grind I'm accustom to.
RegressMeNot but that's not the only way this Group that Beau's with makes their money. Beau was telling the other day that you could rent a cabin, rent the 4 wheeler, and other stuff. And stay for a duration of 3 months. But you have to work with the mine. Plus cook and clean up too. My point is this group wouldn't be doing this if they weren't bringing in some money. And then there're other companies up there that you can rent a cabin and all the other stuff and they will make sure you go home with some gold after you've given about $3000.00 per person for about a week. And this is just during the summer months. So these companies make good money.
6255 for 10 days of labor for x number of guys - 3 days of labor on a roof for just me 3 grand - your math is terrible - theres a couple reason swhy they do you tube videos to supplement their incomes, 1 the influx of retards that set out with gold fever dont hurt them a bit cause there just isnt very much gold left and 2 they need the ad money to survive lol - in addition to the bad math these guys will save gold for extended periods of time to make the finds for the video look better than they realy are, dont quit your day job to do this shit, youll find your self broke as fuck quick
It's pretty awesome seeing you travel and explore. I'm living vicariously through you. It's not quite the same as your metal detecting and river treasure adventures, but I'll take what I can get! Your channel is one of my favorites.
I'm really enjoying this series, thanks for all the hard work. I wish I could go prospecting up there for a week or so, that would be such a thrill.....can't wait to see the rest! Thanks Chigg....
Just watched Bering Sea Gold videos - then found this “Alaska trip” set. My humble opinion is this is way better - “real” unscripted “reality”. Will be binge watching all the rest from this trip over the next couple of days. Great stuff Beau, really glad I found your channel, learning so much 👍🏻
I've seen gold in one oz vials and there was a bunch of the vials. Some had flakes and some had nuggets as big as you little finger in 3oz vials. It was so pretty. And then on a different trip to this gold mine they had it pint jars. Now that was VERY pretty. lol oh how I miss Alaska. If nothing else just going and visiting my daughter and grandson would be wonderful. There are so many things to see and do in Alaska and it takes a lot of time to do it. Thanks for you videos
That's a nice clean up, you would have a nice nugget stash somewhere, also ur friend with the gold belt buckle did he have a gold nugget ring... Looked amazing...
I weird. I like panning for gemstones. I used to gather buckets of gravel wherever I traveled in Idaho. Then come winter I'd pan them down. Always has some nice gemstones.
Nice. Here's a better idea for a dredge. Three 48 inch pontoons with a deck built on it. You could put a nice cabin on it, a cabin you and a buddy could sleep in. That would allow you to go further and STAY further. 48 inch pontoons would be able to handle that Bering Sea if it got 4 foot waves. Make the deck friggin 35 feet long so you could setup a helluva sluice/classification system. Seriously, take that money you make and build a super dredge, one you can camp on. 35 foot by 20 foot on top of 48 inch pontoons would be sweet. You could setup all your equipment on that platform and STAY where the gold is while you sluice, cleanup, go to sleep, wake up, and start again right on the gold. No wasted time coming in to shore to clean up,
have you guys considered using products from GoldHog? would likely increase your ability to get cleaned concentrates than that current setup you have. seeing those nuggets of gold though, pretty epic, and a lot of fine stuff too.
Oh Man I loved that thumbnail. It has been a while sense I have been here sorry. I hope your still watching me. I know you subbed me way back. I really like your videos. You are my biggest subscriber.
You might consider propping your intake hose up on a rock and keep it off the bottom so you wont suck sand and small rocks up that could damage your impeller in your pump.
You don't seem to be fighting off those dadburn Alaskan Mosquitoes. When I was up there in the eighties they were terrible, but a good campfire would keep 'em at bay.
I used to dredge for gold here in Northern California Mother Lode Country. I could always get in the water earlier in the season than everyone else, and stay in later, because I have a dry suit instead of a wet suit. Funny thing is... I can't swim, am deathly afraid of water, but tell me there's gold down there I'll strap 50 pounds of lead on my chest, dive down and stay down there for 8 hours at a time.
Hey Chig I don't know if you know you probably do by now but the sound is like Gonzo on the on some of the video anyway I haven't gotten through with the whole thing yet but we're he's doing the sluice you can't hear anything that you guys are saying or you can't even hear the machine don't know if that's all the way.
uh oh.. chigg got tha gold fever.. I predict a change in the videos lol.. ive always wanted to dig for gold in Alaska since the days of the gold fever show with tom Massey
Sounds like you got the gold fever boy! You'd best head on home and hit the rivers! Summers comin' and the tourists is droppin' loot! Thar's gold in them there southern rivers too and it's closer ta home.
Hey aquachigger I want to go to AK and find a claim. Or maybe glean a big company’s claim. What transportation would you suggest? What camping method would you suggest?
Thomas, you don't simply "find" a claim. Your best bet, if you are serious about it, get in touch with some of the touristy-mining operations and pay for a week on site. Walk through the grocery stores, look at fuel prices at the pumps. Bring an extra $4,000 in cash - sit on the beach and burn each bill one at a time. If you still want to try to make a go of it, go for it.
Stephen Lee Ocean Sail Racing is somewhat like that except it’s 100 dollar bills. That‘s not an exaggeration. I am not sure what you mean by you just don’t find a claim.

Your right could not hear him, but I saw the smile he had because of the gold. Thank you.
So much color! Awesome.
Love watching your adventures.
Watching them drag the prop across the shore was like nails on a chalkboard to me
*Now thats the heavy stuff right there boys*
For a guy who loves bmx fmx etc your vlogs where the first youtube vlogs I got into 👍🏻 good work
sure looks pretty when it appears from the sand :)
Just another thought, the guns and knifes aint just for protection from bears are they?
Google search says $1251.40 per ounce.
Thats $6255 for that run alone.
Puts things in perspective... very cool.
Hope this info is correct.
RegressMeNot , still have to subtract expenses off the top. Alot of them end up with a net loss,still looks like a blast though!
Grey Silverback Yeah I thought of that too but when they mentioned grams I immediately wondered 'what's that worth? '. It does look like a blast, better then the daily grind I'm accustom to.

Varies on the day. 3 months later [October 10th, 2017] the price has risen to $1,286.40
I liked seeing the hand made high banker in action.Very cool!

That was great. Especially all the shining gold at the end!

thanks for explaining the operation chigg!
your friend did well. Everything in life takes some kind of work. Diligence and perseverance, patience. All things are possible. Great Vid. Thanks

Now that's a fun and rewarding looking day, good job fellas!
I live in Alaska and know ppl who have claims but i never considered mining for gold. I stick to my MD. Thanks Chigg for the vids of Alaska.
Gold = 💰💰💰 in the bank! Great video Chiggster!

There are so many things to see and do in Alaska and it takes a lot of time to do it.
Thanks for you videos
Lucky Lucky you Wow !!!! Alaska is at the top of my bucket list to go to and pan for gold. Beautiful just beautiful
That's a nice clean up, you would have a nice nugget stash somewhere, also ur friend with the gold belt buckle did he have a gold nugget ring... Looked amazing...
Just found your channel, I'm watching here in the U.K. Love this video, I can watch this all day finding gold. Awesome.
Zworykin chig that's awesome! I was getting gold fever just watching it. I can't wait to see the final follow up.
Absolutely loved these gold dredging videos.
Mate, well done, all of your videos are great so thanks very much and good luck out there, stay safe 🍻

Oh Man I loved that thumbnail. It has been a while sense I have been here sorry. I hope your still watching me. I know you subbed me way back. I really like your videos. You are my biggest subscriber.

Wow, what a great turn out.
Nice chigg, cheers man.
The chigg looking 15 years younger all cleaned cut and stuff.
Great job on the videos, love them all.
MOAR GOLD!!
Spencer! I want that Garnet. :) I love those. Interesting video.
Ha HA the pump sound as an outro!
That's what she said
Thanks chig good and educational video ,if I were only younger again 😢
You don't seem to be fighting off those dadburn Alaskan Mosquitoes. When I was up there in the eighties they were terrible, but a good campfire would keep 'em at bay.
Great video, thank you for sharing!
Very cool!
Great video Chigg!!👍🏼
There's Gold in them thar hills !!!
I used to dredge for gold here in Northern California Mother Lode Country. I could always get in the water earlier in the season than everyone else, and stay in later, because I have a dry suit instead of a wet suit. Funny thing is... I can't swim, am deathly afraid of water, but tell me there's gold down there I'll strap 50 pounds of lead on my chest, dive down and stay down there for 8 hours at a time.
Ten days of dredging plus processing the concentrated black sand to get 5 troy ounces of gold minus operating costs …. It looks like fun and WORK:-)
Hey Chig I don't know if you know you probably do by now but the sound is like Gonzo on the on some of the video anyway I haven't gotten through with the whole thing yet but we're he's doing the sluice you can't hear anything that you guys are saying or you can't even hear the machine don't know if that's all the way.
have you ever explored Morehead City, NC? I love to watch your videos.
awesome vids keep them comin
Nice looking gold! How come the separation in the sluice box between the mats?
Great! Keep it up!
Now I want to go to Alaska. Did you get to keep any of the gold?
WOW!!! That is awesome!!
very great vid!!!
going to Colorado this 4th of july. try our luck.
Very informative!
Great video!!! luv da gold!

If you like clean, clear water diving, check out. PolishMafia928 diving in the Colorado river. Cold, fast water. Thanks!
very interesting process, do you know an estimate that they make each in a month or week? Was the pumping barge DIY made?
Have good day!
Wish I could get that much in ten days of work! =)
I wanna go try
How much is 4-5 ounces worth Beau? Im curious how much they made off their time. Great video, such a lovely place.
gold price today is $1,248.45 . www.apmex.com/spotprices/gold-price
Hey aquachigger I want to go to AK and find a claim. Or maybe glean a big company’s claim.
What transportation would you suggest?
What camping method would you suggest?
Thomas, you don't simply "find" a claim. Your best bet, if you are serious about it, get in touch with some of the touristy-mining operations and pay for a week on site. Walk through the grocery stores, look at fuel prices at the pumps. Bring an extra $4,000 in cash - sit on the beach and burn each bill one at a time. If you still want to try to make a go of it, go for it.
Stephen Lee Ocean Sail Racing is somewhat like that except it’s 100 dollar bills. That‘s not an exaggeration.
I am not sure what you mean by you just don’t find a claim.
Where at in Alaska are you I’ve dredge in nome on the wild ranger
Where can i buy gold dust from alaska? Online
Nice
that's even more gold been on the TV show Gold Rush
