That is a nice place to spend some time while waiting for the ice to clear (should be good to go by now), maybe in a few weeks I’ll be there. Always a sweet treat to retrieve a lost/forgotten item. Thanks! 👍👍🤟🤙✌️
Went to do a prospecting trip a couple buddies to my new claim in cherryville and get some new highbanker mats :) Ice is all clear on the NSR now for the most part. Hope to see you out there this year!
Thanks for the video. I try to frequent mission creek. Have found a few ok spots that would do you much better than that hole someone else started. I have found all of what you showed in 1 pan there. I am always looking to go panning with people. Have only been doing it 2 years so am pretty green but really enjoying it.
Watching you walk down that hill at the start,my thoughts were, "I would NOT want to walk back out of there!" LOL. You got some flakes you would never see the likes of in Alberta, that's for sure. Good luck on your prospects and keep us posted! cheers, Kelly
Great video. Kudos to you for the long hike both in and out. Just a suggestion but for the 2nd location that you panned in the big hole there might of been better gold on the inland side of the hole of maybe a short distance upstream or downstream at a shallower depth. I am assumming that whoever dug the big hole stopped because the gold was getting worse the deeper they went, jbut this is just speculation on my part. From a safety perspective it would be better to have your bearspray on a holster on your belt so that it is always in easy reach. You are obviously a very fit person but some sort of emergency transponder would be a good idea for such a remote location. Accidents can happen to the most careful people. Stay safe and heavy pans to you. Thank you for posting.
Thanks! Great suggestions! I defiantly could have had the bear spray more easily accessible, I have met many bears on that trail in the past and it’s always a bit intimidating watching how fast they get around on those hills. That area has been hit really hard by locals, myself included, the hole was down to bedrock. The bedrock is where the chunky gold there is but it’s really hard to pick up with a shovel. Edit: I do need a emergency transponder thing. Are you familiar with a good one that doesn’t break the bank?
@@d.andysprospecting hi I don't know anything about emergency transponders other than the are a good idea for someone like yourself. probably the best places to check would be Amazon, Cabelas and Mountian Equipment Coop but would also verify brands and models by checking TH-cam reviews on specific models. Best wishes.

Nice place, all gold is good gold.

Haha yeah the hike up the hill can be tough after a day of digging down there!
Thanks Kelly! Hope you have yourself a good season!

Kamloops ? Kelowna where . Private claim ?.
This was in the Kelowna area
you in town still send me a comment
I’m not no
So you spent what, 80-100 bucks in fuel to find maybe the same or less in some flakes? Minus your time? hmm
Oh my 🤦🏼♂️
Keep guessing bud.
FYI.
Memories > money 🤙🏽
