This year, I'm making money (and GOLD)! Specifically, I'm going through the history of money and recreating the various forms of currency as they evolved through history. In this video, I explore both the origin of money and learn how to extract my own precious metal from the earth.
Thank you to Alan Chenworth for his help, check out his book to learn more about gold panning in Utah: goo.gl/LPPrXF
Thank you to our talented interns Randi and Donna (donnalynnart.com) who helped with the animations once again!

Today, getting what you need is as easy as a trip to the store. From food to clothing, energy, medicine, and so much more, Andy George will discover what it takes to make everything from scratch. His mission is to understand the complex processes of manufacturing that is often taken for granted and do it all himself. Each week he’s traveling the world to bypass the modern supply chain in order to harvest raw materials straight from the source. Along the way, he’s answering the questions you never thought to ask.

Great video, especially with the gold panner's commentary over the thing. Even if something is too specialized for me to understand, beats the hell out of a video that panders.
This channel deserves +5million views more than makeup channels. He is so dedicated to every step of the process, fantastic filming, and editing and he choses great people to learn from who come across well on screen whilst their specialist skills are being showcased. Fatastically informative, amazingly produced. Better than a lot of big-budget televisoon documentary series.A network needs to pick this up.
I think you might wanna make sunscreen from scratch lol. You were red as a lobster!
just need some olive oil and sand
Huh I’d genuinely like to see that.
zinc oxide
Thats an episode idea. How to get skin cancer
masterimbecile mud
Alan was such a knowledgeable guy, I enjoyed his explanations.
"I'll be... making coins, printing paper money, and beyond."
Beyond? So... you'll be starting your own credit card company or something?
Mining crypto probably.
HTMECoin, the new cryptocurrency
You can create virtual credit cards online too, but they have to be topped up with real money though.
Micah Philson no, he'll die lonely and sad
Micah Philson He's starting his own democracy
These videos are so great and need so much more attention
Moogle sure
Very true
Yes
Gold Price Per Gram $43.57 Gold Price Per Ounce $1,355.10 Gold Price Per Kilo $43,567.44. while panning is physically demanding, it is also fun, which pays for the entire trip even if no gold is found. I wish I could pan for gold in my state but its illegal even on property i own. according to my state, all gold and silver thats found in streams in my state etc even if it is on your own property all belongs to the state.
IronSunriseForge just do it incognito..
You live in NYS?
yea lol
that's what a lot of people do anyway lol
IronSunriseForge that law is unjust...
Props to you for actually getting the history and development of currency correct, rather than just saying it was invented by the government
It’s pretty decent. Anyone looking for an authoritative history of The earliest human economics should seek out Dr. James C. Scott’s lectures on TH-cam.
The earliest currencies were most likely grains themselves, which were seized as taxes by what was essentially a protection racket which became governments as they grew, developed writing systems and formalized debts.
Next video: extracting dirt from gold
Yes!
You gonna play the reverse card on that shit.
Extract Impurity from gold
Nice
Lol
Dope! Can't wait to see Cody again I love that weirdo.
x9x9x9x9x9 go and sub to his channels then! He sure could use them
x9x9x9x9x9 why is he weird like I know he has handled dangerous chemicals and explosives and has butter as his kypronite but how
lol why is butter his kryptonite?
Relax Because he hurt his wrist by slipping on butter.
He is kind of socially awkward, but I love him for that
The cool thing about this channel is that guy making the videos didn't act all arrogant and therefore let the other guy talk about his experience throughout the whole videos. Hats off!
I really like how your channel highlights the benefits of society. There are ALWAYS going to be individuals who excel in certain areas, and who can therefore specialize. I also love your TRY EVERYTHING, SEE WHAT WE CAN REALLY DO approach. That MUST have been how early humans survived and eventually thrived. This is why I'm proud to be a Patron of your channel.
This guy is gonna survive the apocalypse
Be the king of the Apocalypse
and no he will be the first it will gonna die
Next "How to be a Politician" run for Mayor of your town and make a video about it
I like it!
from scratch
NOOOOO! SOCIETY, GOOD, POLITICS BAAAAAAD!
That guy seemed pretty cool
You and Cody are good together
Pine ConeZ that sound like a ship.
I dunno about that.
What? A pinecone boat?
Pine ConeZ love your profile pic!
Anyone else notice that Andy looks like he's been working out/dropping weight?? Keep up the good work Andy! I loved this video, super inspirational and informative!!
I'm glad you're still pushing out videos. Keep them coming. I'm really enjoying these!!
I love how chill this is and that there’s no music I love that so much
Loved the guest, seems like a nice fella
Hard work indeed
But if it pays for itself mostly, heck, why not?
I love specialization. I'm very happy cultivating your guy's high grade, organic cannabis.
Mitchell Maytorena couldn’t thank you enough 🙏🏻🙏🏻
That's awesome of you, but if you're not doing it legally then it probably isn't the smartest thing to say when you have your picture in your profile and the police could find you. :P
Will, and your full name as your account.
Yup, full name, picture, talking about the fact that grows weed online, not the smartest weed brownie in the cookie jar. :D
Y’all dumb asf, its the internet he could be lying people do it all the time
Precious metal recovery is one of my favorite subjects, and I jumped for joy to see that Cody will be in a future video!
It's a strange sort of meditation. But very interesting, I never would have imagined what life was like, the quiet moments, of the people in history who panned for golds and spread out over America.
Next video: Bitcoin from scratch
Well he said "and beyond"...
That’s a room full of high grade conputer’s worth and a year of time for a single bitcoin........
what about ethereum or monero?
It's possible to mine bitcoin by hand. I think there was a computerphile/numberphile video on it.
Kiki Pike not a year but still a long time at least on a different video i saw it took like 10 and half months
You should pick wild eatble mushrooms, take spore stamp and grow them indoors :)
Knowing there's that dude panning for gold out there brings me comfort
You deserve so many more subscribers tbf you put so much time and work in each video and are really under appreciated, as always keep up the good content
7:40 - explanation of how the sluicing tool works was great
That is so cool! I love the chill music that you put to this too!
There aren't many things I love more than this channel
I'm just coming across your channel & I'm already liking the fact that you're not ashamed/afraid to get your HANDS dirty!!🤙🤜🤛
I seriously love you so much ❤ i love the fact that when you fail you try again,i love your humor in the process of creating these things :) keep up the good work - a 12 year old
As a kid, part of an excursion to the Bathurst race track was a gold panning session. We actually got a fair bit out. Mine was stolen (likely because a bunch of 10-11 yo kids thinking gold is, well gold) but it was quite cool to see. I remember it vividly. Might try it again some day, got a couple old sources in mind
I’ve been following this channel for a damn long time and I’m actually so proud to see how far the team has come :’))
I love these videos so much, you guys totally deserve some more recognition. Keep it up lads :)
How to make weading ring 💍
Fabian Rodriguez he made a wedding ring
I make jewellery videos if your interested ;)
see Alec Steele's video
Aw man, that's one thing I hate about studying abroad, when you upload this late, I can't see it till the next day!
Fascinating to see how it's done. Looks very time consuming but I bet you get a nice rush when you get a good nugget of gold.
Looking forward to the Cody's Lab video! Been a fan of his for years
I lived in Utah for 8 years. It's such an underrated state.
I like that you seem to go to Utah so often. It's my home state, and I love seeing it.
NEXT : HOW TO MAKE DIAMONDS

I really like Alan, he seems so knowledgeable and kind. The Information he provided was subtle but very valuable nontheless, especially the reference to how Airplanes work - just cool!
1:42 thank you so many people get this wrong. even before currency there was the idea of debt so bartering was not always necessary esp locally. It was traders that move long distances that you might or might not see again that money was really barter and currency was necessary.
Looking forward to the Cody’s lab collab.

Love your videos
The HTME team puts so much effort in and it’s amazing to watch quality videos for once 👌👌
I love panning for gold but we don't really have any here in Arkansas and I just have to do it the rare times I travel out west on vacation. I mean, we might have a little somewhere but I've never been able to find it. These videos remind me of a time when I actually felt like doing hobbies. I used to have a new hobby every week when I was younger. Woodworking, blacksmithing, gold panning, metal detecting, horticulture, chemistry, electronics, etc... Now I just can't get myself to do them anymore. I guess I'm getting old and tired and don't have the will to have hobbies. I'd like to change that though..
The gold sluicing guy was really eloquent, he was very clear, concise and never stumbled with his words.
just found this channel today! new subbie! keep up the good work!
Im glad this channel is growing! Great job man!
You can probably do some electroplating with this gold. Something like a small coin.
Debt was use as a system before money. It was used everywhere and that is what we actually find when we look. In fact debt was the most common system for many people up until the about the 1800s.
I just found your channel and this is what the Discovery Channel should be.
how to make electronics and protein powder from scratch
Titan Senpai oooo maybe or even just a micro processor but he needs silicone and for it to be very pure.
Ok
No way he will be able to make any sort of modern processor, but maybe a physical computer. I think it would be great if he made his own battery and light bulb, since that is much simpler and might be possible (I'm thinking about how the light bulb would be recreated with basic tools)
Good idea
you think he has a degree in electronics or computer engineering?
love you hard work, determination, and effort
I had always love stuff like this, and I dont know why. Just the idea behinding something and melting it down to cast it and so on. Something I really would like to do
Both osmium and iridium are heavier than platinum, and are found naturally. They're just really rare.
He should go look for cadminium
He'll be making a nickel cadium battery soon
7:54 is ~60% true. The increase in velocity over the reduced volumetric area is Bernoulli's principle, vortex generation is much much much more complex and builds with self-collapsing principles.
Ever hear a fallicy in your feild of knowlage and you just NEED to correct? Yeah.
Wow, after watching Cody's Lab for so long I didn't figure I'd learn much from this video, but I've learned a lot.
Dang that's awesome that you are doing a video with cody! Was thinking at the beginning of the video why you hadn't done it with him. Next video is going to be so cool!
YEEEES Cody’s Lab Collab! Pumped af
I liked the fact you tied in the sponsor with the theme :) Nice job on this video, really enjoyed it.
Give that to cody and he might refine it for ya :P
Umer Ahmad it might be too small
You should do a How to Make Hard Candy with Lofty Pursuits!
I would love to go panning for gold, wouldn't even know where to start with it though but maybe someday. For now it's just satisfying to watch.
Working out and getting some blinks. That's a real good hobby!
Yay! Cody’s Lab! Looking forward to it!
Collaborations make me happy.
Great video!
Cody's Lab!!!!! He is one of my favorites. I am looking forward to this very much so.
i love this channel! every video i watch i feel smarter!
liking the longer video. keep em coming
Cody is good when u talk metals or in general elements
Love the series... I do think if you had to do these activities in varying amounts everyday you would get good at all of them. How much of these new skills do you go back to regularly to see if you can still manage the process? If we all had to do everything the hard long way we'd all get really good at everything.
BEST CROSSOVER TO DATE!!!!!!
Man, your channel is amazing. You deserve way more subscribers. Greetings from México (:
It isn't about making money. This is what a lot of people don't seem to understand. It's a hobby that makes some of its money back that you spend on it.
Like metal detecting, it isn't something a sane person would ever attempt to do to make a living.
It's fun and it keeps you out of trouble and you get to look at and hold a little shiny when you're done.
Not only that, it adds up.
explanation of how the pan works was great
Very high quality!! Learned a lot, keep it up and I know you will grow as a channel, and as a person! :)
I missed this channel man I'm glad you have ideas
A black pattie hose works better than the sponge because you can distinguish between the gold and other minerals. A funnel strainer works extremely freaking well to separate the smaller pieces of gold nuggets as well as gold dust when panning for it.👌🦚
Many Thanks, I learnt a lot from this episode
Minnesota weather is finally getting better
You can extract silver out of silver fulminate in the poppers you throw on the ground. Thanks Cody for teaching me that.
this guy's so hardworking! i can see millions of subscribers on the way!
Woah I always wonder why we use money and why we buy things using them! And you answered that, thank you for sharing this awesome info!! 😊
Honestly this just looks like fun more than anything, a good hobby
This channel needs more attention
I knew when I subbed at 60k this guy was going somewhere, just like cody's lab he'll hit a million this year im sure.
Fantastic vid!! Very complex ideas explains in an easy to understand way.
These guys deserve alot more subscribers
What a great as genuine and guy Alan is. Hope he is doing well 👍🏽
Gold panning seems so relaxing (provided there isn't a gold rush at the time)
Dunno if there's anywhere to do it in Derbyshire but that'd be cool
I bloody love these videos
Like the guy said that actually looks like it could be a really nice chill hobby.
I live in Utah I’m buying that guys book right now!
Glad too see your growing. Levelling up skills.
@8:50 Re: "miners moss" there are some who speculate that using wool in a similar manner gave rise to the legend of the Golden Fleece.
I love the relaxing Music in the background
This was vary peaceful to watch!
Dude! That guy is so dang smart!
Awesome video. You're really inspiring!
