Hi brother, yes YT takes a lot of time and energy. Just take a break and collect fresh ideas. I always enjoyed your videos. They were honest and full of humor. I remain a loyal fan. Best regards, Peter 👍🍻
@@frantiseklaluch6605 *lach. Ahoj Frantisek. Schlechtes Wetter , ganzen Tag am PC. Seine Videos waren immer sehr gut. Ich hoffe nach der Pause hören wir wieder von ihm
Glad to hear a young lad like you was exhausted. I am, let's say a bit older and after panning for a couple of hours, I wonder how I ever worked in 110 degree heat shoveling rock salt for a living. I get so tired now, when I look up at the hill I have to climb out of, I think, maybe 50/50 chance somebody will just find my body right on the hillside. If they ever do, I put the gold in my pocket, it's yours. You can tell your grandkids you took it from a dead miner.
I’m so excited to see another GCM episode, but definitely disappointed to hear of your hiatus. My hope is that the reasoning behind this news is that you’re now gainfully employed, or some other variation of good, positive changes in your life. Thank you for the great videos you’ve put together over the past year. We GCM subscribers have truly appreciated the endless entertainment your content has provided us. Stay well, GCM!
Thanks for the comment and the positive vibes! Yes, all is well. Now that life is returning to some form of normal, I no longer have as much free time to devote to these videos. I'm glad you've enjoyed this project, and I feel your appreciation!
Great video Just joined up on your channel sorry to hear that you’re done filming for a while well good luck I’m still going to check out your older videos take care and have a pans out for now
LOL I was wondering when I was going to see that twisted humor of yours- had to wait till the end. You remind me of an old friend Steve Smith who moved up to Auburn. Please keep the videos coming while you can, they always put a smile on my face.
I'm glad you've enjoyed this project. One day, down the road, I may be able to scrap together a video or two. We'll have to wait and see... Thanks for watching and commenting!
Use some super glue on those cuts.Carry a first aid kit and put a small tube in it.Good idea to wear gloves,too.Get a good metal detector to locate concentrations of targets.Watch Toe Toes video's to see how the Yuba River snippers get er done.lol
I have about 15 videos that just need to be edited ect..something always comes up it seems, very soon though! So I know where you are coming from! Thanks for sharing the history, great video! I can relate to your techniques! Cheers from CO.
The editing part is such a time suck! You've got to take your time and do a good job though, to have a decent video... Good luck out there in the Rockies!
@@GoldCountryMiner thanks for the encouragement! High stress and editing don't mix sometimes!ha but I have a tech guy for our animal rescue hopefully soon we'll get them edited and uploaded ! And learn how to so I can cast from the field! Wishing you all the best down at lower altitude!! Always welcome here!
Hi Pete, I realy missed you. What ever is your priority now, good luck. I will alway watch you videos, one in a week or one in a year.... I hope youtube lets me know sooner (bell and so...). Your persistency is awesome, I just sniff around rocks with pump, that is it... So you get great gold and I get some micros... :-) Greetings also to Gold Country Lady and Gold Coutry Minors... :-) BTW: That was the most bizzare "Thanks for watching" ever... :-)
Frantisek! Nice to hear from you again. It's time for me to focus on helping run the family business. I hope all is well at the pharmacy. Good luck on your gold-getting. One day you'll find yourself a nice little nugget, I'm sure. I'll let the Gold Country Lady and Minors that you sent your greetings. Take care my friend!
@@GoldCountryMiner Ÿour boss looks great Doc... :-) So instead of Creekside Center is Ponderosa now... :-) and you are hiring... My niece will be Bc. of physiotherapy, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering CVUT (one of the best universities here). Well, it is a bit far away... :-) I see, a lot of work, you had to do when moving, and that is just beginning, there will be milion small things every day to be done + work, I was managing pharmacy for years... Things to do all the time... I wish you, you will have some time for gold prospecting as well, to clean the head... :-)
Really love your videos. I also starting a channel right now and appreciate and respect all the work and love you put in all the videos. Maybe we see some videos here and there ;) Bet you have some adventures while prospecting
Awesome video brother!!!! I always enjoy them and watch them at least twice in a row It’s all good if you have to take a break but I’ve got the bell clicked and eagerly await the next video! Thanks for the great video Billiams Golden Tales
Andy! So glad to hear from you again. Yep, I've got to slow it down a little. The family business is picking up and requiring more and more of my time. I'll still try to make it down the to creek every now and then, and maybe try to put together a video here and there. Good luck with your mining, and videos. Get some fatty nugz!
I'm 15 and iv been wanting to find gold In the creek i have in my back yard really nice one too and what iv noticed when watching videos from you and other channels that there's a thing called black sand that I don't know existed but the complete side of the creek is just black sand (with a little normal sand but mostly black) not the side towards my house but the opposite side, I'm Right now in school in home room and I have free time right now so that's why I'm here if possible I would like to get in contact somehow and i would like to learn more about finding gold, also I live with my grandparents and we just bought this house that's next to the creek with a loan and I could help them out by finding gold like you do, anyways I need the exercise.
Hey buddy! Black sand can be a good indication of gold, but you won't necessarily always find gold with black sand. Black sand (generally comprised of magnetite and hematite) is denser that typical blond/brown sand (silica) and will often end up in the bottom of your pan along with gold flakes, as both are denser and heavier than the other gravels and sands in the creek. It wouldn't hurt to do some test pans of that stuff but chances are, there probably won't be much gold there, if any. The gold will want to settle down to the lowest point as it's the densest material in the creek, so you generally won't find it sitting on top of the bank (unless it's on bedrock). My favorite how-to TH-cam channel is Two Toes (Gary Honan). Check his videos out to learn more about prospecting. He does a great job explaining everything about it, from the ground up. A word of caution for you... For me, gold prospecting has always been a hobby, not a money maker. In nearly 10 years of panning and prospecting, I've found about 1 ounce of gold (currently about $1,825), and that took hundreds of hours of hard labor. That's not to say you couldn't find a nice big nugget, but generally a few flakes is all you'll get. If you want to make some money and help pay the bills, stay in school, get a good education, a decent job, and go from there. I make more in 1 hour at my real job than I do in 8 hours at the creek, breaking my back, on a good day! I pan for gold because I love to, not to make a living. Good luck, and heavy pans! Now get back to class and listen to that teacher...
Yeah I'm in love this show but if you need to take a break you need to take a break hope everything is well and goes good see you in the future if you come back man
The Rage of is there! Yep still I don’t cause harm to the mother! I will never leave garbage! Pack in a little bit and haul a lot out. I have a owner’s welcome for what I have done in the past .
Still miss your content. My boy and I started a channel called Drew Scraps if you want to check it out. Anyway, miss your humor and amazing creativity. Hope you are well.
Wow! Thank you for checking in. Everything is just dandy. I’m just busy with my actual job and raising kids, and have less free time these days to put into making TH-cam videos. I appreciate your concern.
A miner never tells his secrets... But some have said that if you put the gold in a small metal tray, and heat it up (indirect flame) with a torch, the mercury will burn away. CAUTION!!! This technique creates highly toxic mercury vapor, so it has to be done outdoors with good ventilation. You don't want to breath that stuff in. Keep the wind to your back and let the breeze carry the fumes away. Also, don't heat the gold directly or it may pop and splatter. Heat the outside of the metal container. Good luck, and be safe! We don't need any more "Mad Hatters" running around!
Your humor is the real gold in your videos. Nice work and good luck.
Well, you can't say it wasn't any fun. It's been pretty fun watching your channel the last few months...we miss you..

That's not a boulder, dude. It's just a big rock. You could easily lift it over your head. A boulder is taller than you are.

How do u remove the mercury?
A miner never tells his secrets... But some have said that if you put the gold in a small metal tray, and heat it up (indirect flame) with a torch, the mercury will burn away. CAUTION!!!
