- I am a video maker and gold panning enthusiast based in the United Kingdom. Today I was searching for Super fine flood gold also known as Gold Prospecting where I used a gold pan to find the gold which was lying at the bottom of a glory hole at a secret river in Wales

I thought the law prohibits those of use a sluice????
Thanks for raising this point Gareth .A lot of viewers share an interest in sluicing and I welcome any further information you have on this very subject.
Fuck the river police!
@@Winzor722 Agreed.
@Simon Cameron Thanks for sharing the information Simon. Much appreciated.
@Simon Cameron It's so confusing. I have never panned for gold myself, but the news media on stories surrounding this activity quote The Crown Estate as saying that you can't even keep the gold you find. So is this true?? So it's not just environmental, they won't admit it's because of the money! Panning for gold is an age old custom, and I think you should be able to keep what you find. Some want to call it theft!
English man stealing welsh gold 😱😂Hogyn drwg
Very bad boy indeed lol.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures faf
If it’s good enough for the queen
I live in the valleys any good for gold
😂😂
Absolutely brilliant! It looks like it's such a relaxing hobby. I'm a drug addict in recovery, and I've just bought some basic equipment so that I can get out there and have a try myself. Been down to my local river for a practice (not that I'm going to find anything in there!). Hopefully sometime next year I'll be getting over to Wales.
Thank you so much for commenting on my channel and I wish you all the best for the future on your road to recovery. There are so many things out there to be discovered and the great outdoors offers it all to you, you just have to get out there and find what it is. The search for gold has captured mankinds attention for thousands of years and I am sure that once you find that first spec of gold in the bottom of your pan, your life will change for ever.....
All the best, MrdazP1
Hi Awesome video I would absolutely love to have a go at hunting for gold but I live in Nottingham and I don’t think there’s any gold to be found in the river Trent cheers mate
There could be a few specs of gold in the Trent my friend, you never know what might turn up
Im actually collecting gold atm so in the future i can make a small chain or ring with my family name on it! Love watching these videos when i cant get out or have free time amazing content
Hello Sli, that sounds like a really interesting project. Do you have a weight in mind to make the jewelry
The location is really fantastic, your work and enthusiasm is appreciable. this place is like my locality.
Thank you Ikramullah
. I love the great outdoors 👍
Great video mate 👊🏻🤠👍🏻
Cheers TasD hopefully the weather will pick up soon for summer.
Hello mate,
I think I may have found a bit of a kindred spirit here!
I’ve recently fallen in love, so I thought it was perhaps time to find some gold 😂
I’m a carpenter by trade, live in my van and off the land. I forage what I can, mostly plants, but I do get a little help from my HW 100FSB 😉Your video contains loads of useful little nuggets (sorry). I was just wondering, what’s your three top tips? I’m in no rush, but I reckon I’ll need about 7g for the ring.
I’m really excited about having a new reason to get out in nature, basically love finding anything that’s not my phone or keys!
Cheers 🙂
Wow, first and foremost that sounds like an interesting lifestyle , hunting fishing and foraging for your daily needs.
You need a week up in Tyndrum or somewhere around that area and you will find 7g of gold if you sluice the gravels down to bedrock and then work the tightly packed cracks.
I personally don't do the Facebook platform but the gold panning groups will give you another insight into what's going on out there.
Look after the HW too they are a nice piece of kit
Firstly brilliant video mate but now lets get the crux here...how much was that gold at the end worth approximately? And what do ypu do with it? Maybe another video idea....anyway keep up these videos there great !!
Hi Gerald, this was just under a gram of gold. So could be between £40 - £100 quid but I don't do it for that. I just leave it in a thimble. I really enjoy the video making to be honest but thanks for the comments .
Hiya, really enjoyed this video, gold panning looks much more exciting than I expected, great video editing and very informative, really enjoyed it :-)
Hello Dawn, this is all started after breaking my collar bone on a bike ride. One of the lads said you will have to watch a boxset of dvds from start to finish whilst You're off work to ease the boredom. I chose Gold Rush lol....Thanks for dropping by .
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures See there always a bright side, break your bones and end up finding gold in the Welsh hills :-)
Well all who watch your channel will call you more than a proper panner m8 you would be surprised how many people you are teaching. Thanks for the reply and when you have time more please, thanks.
I always like watching Two toes videos for the best advice , he is right up there.
Hi daz could you reccoment son where withing the UK for something like this iv got my stagg do coming up and would like to avoid alcohol thanks
Try the Leadhills mining museum for places to pan Shane. They offer courses which is a great start into this fantastic hobby
There seems to be a bit of a tadoo about whether or not you can pan in rivers for gold. I presume there is no law against panning for lead shot tho?....wink wink
Hello Steve, it' a grey area pal which is the same colour as lead lol.
21 mins to get that little bit of gold out of that crevise,,, put a stick in with vasalene on it itll stick good under water
keep it up us goldies got to help where we can
and to the bloke below me,,, why aint you there doin it bozo
Thanks for the comments, I've never tried to use vaseline but it sounds like it could be an idea there.
Hi m8 I am retired have a nox 800 but interested in what you are doing any chance coming out to you sometime to learn the craft many thanks John
Hello Kalbo , thanks for the comments. This river now has no panning signs in place. Leadhills is the next best place to pan for gold which is further north. It's a relatively cheap hobby to get into.
Daz we are in Dolgellau now for the next couple of hours is there anywhere around here that actually you can go and try panning
Try some quiet parts of the main river that goes inland from Barmouth but be mindful of permissions 😉
Hi i dont suppose I will get response lol how much gold have you found in total in all years you've been doing it ?
Hello, I always try to respond to my comments . The truth is - Not a lot. It must take years to find a thimble full. It is a rare precious metal and I can assure you that this is the case.
As always, nicely added video my friend!
Love the underwater shots, keep up the great entertainment :)
Took a while to get all the shots done on this trip and spent more time mooching with the dog . Thanks for watching.
Your dog is looking fed up and confused
He loves a good walk through this forest and dip in the river.
not sure about gold but you will sure find glory holes in wales... :)
There could be a glory hole in a town near us all buddy.
i thought all Welsh Gold belonged to the Queen?
Is it not illegal therefore?
There's nothing stopping you from throwing it all back at the end of the day.
I know that the first river was at coed y brenin, but were exactly?
The river is in this area but they have banned gold panning since the gold mine re opened Guto.
HERE IN NORTH AMERICA, LOTS OF PEOPLE SEEK OUT A GOOD GLORY HOLE
Thank you Mark for commenting , most places have be worked over and over on this river so it's good to know where the spots are
Been in Wales trying to find a tiny bit of gold and we can’t do it anyone help
Hello Andrew, the gold belt starts near Dolgellua and extends for 30 miles in a northerly direction. The main rivers up there have had gold panning bans since the Alba mining company have taken over the gold mines.
Keep researching on line where gold has been reported. Leadhills in Scotland is a classic place where you can find a few specs within a few yards of your car which is reasurring to know when you have got loads of kit to carry.
If you are sluicing, I would always work all the gravels from the area you are digging. You might just find a few specs in the mid layers.
There's so much to learn about this fascinating hobby and you just have to take your time.
Black sands are a good indicator for where the heavier materials are travelling down the river. You never know you might hit it lucky one day and day and find that elusive nugget. But be mindful of gold fever, lol. It does exist !
Let’s have it right gold rush wales . And not uk
Here here 😉 Diolch
Do you need permission to pan for gold on the Welsh streams
Yes you do but it has always been accepted at this river. They have put signs up now saying no panning but it hasn't stopped people going.
Pro editing and footage, enthralling content and great advice well explained. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the great feedback Lance. I filmed this over the recent bank holiday and can't wait to for the next one . Cheers.
Personally i think we should all have some and that it should belong to the public and whoever wants to try and find some then fair play!!! The Queen has enough gold in my opinion!
That's a fair point Matthew
The owner of Gwynfynydd a ceo of some shop had as a tax d odge but suddenly hit a strike of £1000000 a month he gave the Q ueen a kilo. A few years later became Sir Mark Weinberg. A few years later LORD WEinberg
wheres that river then come on spill
It's the secret river Wayne ......
Is this legal in the national park??
Hello Michael ,
are you interested in gold panning ??
Hi, I live at the most eastern point of North America. Newfoundland, Canada. St, John's. Love seeing some different gold panning areas, instead of the Yukon and California. The landscape there is beautiful! Yup! Go ahead and make more videos! Great job! Cheers!
Hello Kenneth. That's a really great comment. Thank you so much for watching. We are not able to get out at the moment but hopefully when things are back to normal this will change
Great vid. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comments, cheers D
Where was this place in wales?
I wouldn't like to say now because they have banned panning since this was made and you don't want to be getting into any undue attention Nomskey
Good thing I live near Snowdonia... Police around here are RARE >.> what they don't know will never harm anyone
I take it you have an ice cream van for the gold panners lol.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Now you've boosted my ideas , HAHA! lol
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures It'll be named, steves golden rocks!
@@InsaneVRGamer Sounds like a plan then buddy.
Lmao at welsh glory hole
It's Welsh and it's a hole Ben.........
You would think looking at the mountains and sheer scale of the river and surrounding rocks in beddgelert that you would find gold there too but no. Maybe undetected deep, I do love beddgelert scenery it’s like a different world on the way to Porthmadog you should go back it’s beautiful
There may well be gold there Shaun as the Copper mine is just down the road but it takes a lot of patience and prospecting to find these spots. I was just sampling a few gravel bars when I went to Beddgelert
Well he might be impressed, but I’m certainly not. This seems to be an awful lot of time and effort expended for such a minuscule amount of gold found.
Still, as he says, it is a staggeringly attractive area in which to walk / hike.
That's what it's all about buddy. The great outdoors, if i wasn't gold panning I'd be fishing or flying a kite.
another great vid!
that new sucker tool looks like it will be very usful :)
It's a great piece of kit alright
Does Wales hold a lot of gold?? In comparison to the rest of the uk?
Personally I think it does for sure Corey but it all depends on how far you are prepared to dig and move dirt . Local knowledge on your favourite river goes a long way.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Top man👌🏻
They've banned 🚫 gold panning in Wales on this river !
Bontduu
I saw a sign post for Gwasanaethau
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I am talking area THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE.
I live so close to this mine shame I’ve never Ben to check it out I mean if it was legal I would be up there everyday someone got slammed last year for doing exactly what you are doing here 😂💪🏻 Go on Son
There are so many people who frequent this place and still do Shaun. It is a cracking place to explore and there is a lot of gold still be found here. Give it a go !
Where was this?
It's in north Wales but they have banned panning here now.
Great job..Hey Daz you can make your videos anyway you want..they are yours..but what I like about them is that you not need to use grunge music blasting out our shouting into the camera like some other very good prospectors do..
Nice one , it can be a challenge trying to make videos to everyone's taste. Some hate the music , full stop ! Others don't like you panning on their favourite location. I just try to capture the highlights from the days session down at the river.
Not really very secret, the river has the only gold mine in the UK, I spent a lot of time kayaking down it.
It's a play on words Iain but I have watched a few kayaking videos of this river to what it's like in flood. You'd be surprised though how few people know about where it is.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Well worth watching kayaking videos to understand river flows at high levels and find low pressure areas on a river, hopefully find gold as well.
@@iainrenton7527 Sure thing, Iv'e checked a few rivers out this way and they also help you to look at the bedrock too. it's all good stuff.
Does anyone know the location or name of this river? is it called the secret river? i mite go when lockdowns off, im going nuts stuck in
That first pan was awesome mate. cant wait for the next vid :D
Thanks Jim. This is flood gold and there are people out there who look for much bigger and heavier stuff than me but it was a great trip out for early May.
Brilliant work again dear sir and I must say your camera work is at a whole new level now.!
A fair few videos ago you did some amazing underwater sluice shots any chance of some more of them please as they looked grate...!
Thanks for the comments , they are very much appreciated. I am hoping to do a bit more soon. Hopefully some sniping.
i kind of think i know where you are panning ,i believe its cci
This is near Dolgellau
So am I, but never panned for gold , because of the risk of prosecution, I know of the wen and the bigger river next to it,
No one ever bothers you here. There's hundreds of people regularly panning .
Can you sell that gold you find, or are there some complicated laws saying you can't.? What if I find gold on the beach can I keep it? I'm new to your channel, Im loving what you do
Some people will put a few specs in a bag of "paydirt" and sell it on ebay for enthusiasts to pan at home with the guarantee of finding gold. It's an interesting read about taking pebbles off our beaches , let alone gold too ! As for me I don't gold pan for any profit or to sell the tiny specs so I don't really know. It's just a hobby and a great subject to film.
Just sub awesome video keep up the good work
Thanks for the sub! I haven't been able to get for a long time due to the restrictions in place and this river now has a ban on gold panning !! But hopefully I will be able to find some new ground or carry on with prospecting new places.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures awesome I am moving to Wales this year looking forward to exploring and seeing new places y the gold ban on panning? Seems unfair
Best of luck buddy , you never know where you just might find it.
I like how efficient you've set up your sluice box. Nice flow 👌 I've just got my sluice boxes and went to a Brook just to see if it was easy to use. It took me some time to get the flow just right but we all have to start somewhere. 😂 I didn't run much material through it because it's not a gold baring location I just wanted to see the movement of the material and found 2 lead weights 🤣
That's what it's all about Lewis, if you are catching lead shot then you are looking in the right place for the heavies which are dropping out in the flow and that your sluice is working well, which sluice are you using pal.
how much gold is that in money value please?
They reckon Welsh gold could go for £100 / g
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Nice. Thank you. My new hobby. I'll be watching lots more lol
@@japreet_kah Thank you GM
Hi MrDaz I have a whole lot of gold filled sediment and rocks with gold in them but have no idea how to pan it.
Practice panning with general dirt and place a couple of small lead fishing weights in the dirt. Pan it into a water container in the garden . Once you know you can catch the lead every time , start to do this with your gravels.
th-cam.com/video/nMogX--prxk/w-d-xo.html
Thankyou ❤️ I will dig the back garden 😂
Have a look on mindat.org fella, there's more than just gold out there in these wonderful Isles
Yes that's a great website. I have found loads of "seaglass" on the beaches but sadly no diamonds.
seems like a good hobby. outdoors, nice scenery and exercise. plus sometimes a blob of gold at the end
It's a great way to get to see places you may never have thought existed.
Amazing
Cheers
MrDazP1 I’ve also just subscribed 👍🏻👍🏻 I’m a huge fan on the Gold Rush tv series and didn’t know there was such a thing of Gold Rush UK........well your version anyway, your camera work, music and editing makes the vlogs more enjoyable 👍🏻👍🏻
@@Coaster_Crazy Thank you so much for the positive feed back. It all started after watching the hit TV series thinking, I will give this a go in the UK. There is gold in them there hills
(more than you would think !)
MrDazP1 love it mate !! Only seen a few videos but what do you do with all the gold you find and where was the biggest nugget you have found so far !?
@@Coaster_Crazy I don't do anything with it. I just love the great outdoors and this is one of them hobbies that makes good viewing and it's nice to show the rest of the world that it is in the UK. Some people will sell a few specs mixed in with gravels on eBay and make a few quid but I'm not in it for that or any other reasons. If you watch my Tyndrum gold video that has a nice picker in it.
just for laughs, collect some of those grey looking rocks and put them in a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide...if it fizzes like an alka seltzer its platinum group, if its fizzes like a flat beer, its silver
Sounds interesting?
Thanks for sharing Glen, you obviously know a bit about your chemistry.
Enjoyed watching your video. Thanks
Cheers Jim I was down there today testing 3 sluices side by side.
New sub .. great video and interesting info
Thanks for the feedback QJ much appreciated.
NICE TO SEE U BACK OUT keep them coming I'm hooked
Hello Dave. Thank you fro dropping by tonight and sharing a comment. I hope to be out soon at a river in the UK
great video again man but this cheesy music has to go. i dunno why youtubers got it in there head they cant have some silence in there content. the thing you guys dont realise is were sat at home when ur talking its quiet so our volume level is up. then BOOM music and were running for the volume key to undeafen the neighbours. we didnt come here for disco mate we came tro see gold getting hauled out the ground. i have a library of my own music or indeed i can open another youtube tab and play anything i want. dont worry about adding music. it'll save u time trying to sound balance etc.
Cheers. The one thing I've learned is that I can't please everybody but might just do a basic film later this year. That's the beauty of TH-cam. It gives the viewers choices.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I think music is a must have for any decent edit however finding the right music isn't always that simple
@@idgaf5252 Good point.
Are you aloud to sell UK gold? I read all gold has to be handed into the government?
Some people will sell it in "Paydirt" bags for people to pan for gold at home. I don't get involved in buying or selling gold Ting ting. Gold should be assayed though to find it's purity and value.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures its crazy isnt it, in other countries, you find you keep :(
@@Erevoking Most enthusiast will take home the few tiny specs and call it a great day out.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yes if i my son and i found 1 spec we would be so happy, waiting for our gold pan to turn up, just dont want to get in trouble for taking the gold home
@@Erevoking Have fun and stay safe Ting Ting
Where did you get that mini sluice from? And how much?
Hello Nathan, It's from Ruthless mining but I don't think they make them anymore.
What is black sand?
Black sand is a common reference to particles or grains such as magnetite or hematite which are relatively heavy. They are heavy enough to stay in the pan or sluice along with gold. In general Gold has a density of 19.3g per cubic cm (almost like a sugar cube size) whereas the balck sands my be at about 5g per sugar cube size but still kind of heavier than other materials you are processing. They are normally black, grey or rusty colour and can be a bit of a problem when you are trying to pan out the cons - concentrates) down to the gold on it's own. Some are magnetic and you can use a magnet to remove them. ....Hope this kind of helps Gavin.
Thanks for that, very informative
Great video m8, i live 9 miles from beddgelert and i wouldent have thought there would be any gold around here
The gold belt is nearly 30 miles long
oil in your pan can carry fine gold out after feeding pooch do you use detergent to degrease the pan of oil
Good tip pal. I think the dogs tongue must be like sand paper cos it's always spotless and a bit rough on the surface. Joking apart my biggest problem is getting the pans absolutely spotlessley clean for trips to rivers where they may not be reports of gold. The tiny tiny particles like to sit in cracks and scoured sections of the pan.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀🎩
Thankyou once again Misha
Awesome video Daz. Fascinating subject, brilliant production skills.
Cheers Roger. This one took a bit of effort with all the different locations to fit in - in a weekend.
I will be doing the same in the winter time in my part of the world. SW UK.😅👉
Is this south Wales or South West England.
Hey daz, tell me how to get into the finest of cracks! Rossendale doesn’t have too many 😂
Well Ben,
you need to look for the crevices with compacted gravels and pebbles that are locked in place. Look for the key stone that locks em all together and do what is necessary to loosen it. You could make a scraper out of an old machine blade ( or from a mitre saw) to scrape away the smaller stuff. A crack is crack whether it's in West Lancashire or North Wales buddy. But I think you already knew that , lol
👍👍👍👏👏👏🤗🌎🎩
Thanks
Love these videos and visuals, keep it up mate from a Yorkshire lad stranded in Thailand
Hey thanks John. I hope you're ok. I believe the government have a package put together to return stranded British Nationals. Stay safe buddy and best of luck.
It's so so to let everyone know what you are looking for and wiar
Thanks Nicola
I had a reasonable experience in Whales mostly from a tiny stream thanks to a kind land owner .
Too many videos like this pop up though it'll end up being a big problem as you can always rely on some idiots turning up and destroying river banks
I don't think that videos like this are the problem at all. The problems you have mentioned already exist and has done for some time. I always aim to offer an experience of my time at the river and never show any form of destroying the river banks. I understand what you mean though and appreciate your comments.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I was dying to make a video and show off my micro portable system I made picking up Welsh gold but couldn't bear The thought of not being able to continue in the future so I've held off for the last 8 years.
When I first traveled the country prospecting in 2004 I would of giving my right arm to have seen a video like this
Another cracking video thanks
Thanks for watching Retro Dude.
Why's it a secret in Wales but not Scotland ?
I never mentioned the name of the river in Scotland and this river has always been my go to "Secret river" same as the river in England. I think in making films you need conventions or themes that you can run with throughout the series.
Ahhh wasn't the video I was expecting 😔. The title deceived me Lol. I'm just playing, love the vids mate keep em coming! I stay in Scotland and have just taken up the hobby! Just trying to learn reading rivers and stone/sand types etc!
It's a great hobby and once you see the gold in your pan it will change the way you see things buddy. It's a big learning curve and you have to put the practice in but the rewards are massive, no matter how big or small the gold is. Best of luck !
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thanks mate really appreciate the words, I just moved from the Cairngorms back down to just outside Edinburgh, it seems I got into it at a bad time since I was in one of the better places to be lol! I just keep an eye out and learn as I go!
Great stuff there pal. Let us know how you get on
Can I please ask in total how much In weight have you found since starting up thanks
Hello Christopher. If you could see it - physically with your own eyes you be be surprised at what I have actually found. Gold is a rare and precious metal. I have only found half a thimble full of the good stuff......Bit it is a fantastic hobby.
Oh rgt ok keep it up like your vids thinking of starting meself
Hi Daz, I'm new to your channel and love it. We tried searching for gold in Cheshire but were told by a ranger that all gold is owned by the crown, how do you manage to keep the colour you find...
Hello Philip, Gold may well be owned by the crown, and for example, Prince Andrew , as a potential heir to the throne has been afforded a life style that .............. ??
Can become thought provoking.
As an amateur enthusiast
I prospect to see if is there any colour out there in the nooks n' crannies and having found it, I have a propensity to throw it back. The chase is better than the catch so to speak. Stay safe , keep healthy and have a mooch in your local streams buddy. ( I would always seek permission where ever possible though) if not try Leadhills where you can get a pass / permit.
FINDERS KEEPERS....SCREW THE CROWN !
Great video, what was the river you were panning played it back six times still not shure what you said...long lost taffy living in Vancouver
Thanks for watching Mike. Can I ask what part of Wales you were from..... Was it my accent that you didn't understand lol.

@@redkite3317 This location is much further up North Mike.
Ok,I guess it’s top secret lol
@@redkite3317 Ha ha . I call it my secret river but It's a well know river in North Wales where the Royals get their gold from.

Or do I live in the wrong area
There is gold in a stream in your area. A gold prospector called One man and his pan found some near a local golf course.
So you made about 3 quids worth 😂😂😂
I haven't a scooby doo what I made in $ dollars or £ queen quids but had a cracking day out with the pooch.
Nice colours in the pan🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
I do love the look of Welsh Gold in the pan 🙂
Pretty sure that involves a sheep with no teeth 😂
I couldn't possibly comment Ben.
Beautiful video. thank you!
Thank you too! I am missing this place and I think Alba minerals resources will find a tonne of gold here ( well maybe a few tones lol)
Subbed nice video
Cheers Cov.
I think the red material in your sluice is Monazite?
You normally find loads of that material in the sluice as a heavy concentrate. It's very slivery on the inside if you break it open.
@@MrDazP1adv3nturesI will check the info on the mineral. If it is monazite then as it contains thorium, its slightly radioactive.
Fantastic video work, what quad / hex copter are you using.
Hello Gregory. Thanks for the comments. I was using the DJI Spark. Have you checked out my drone shots from the "Tyndrum Gold" video. They are a great piece of kit.
Thanks I will check it out. I am a metal detectorist but love watching white water goldrush and all the others on discovery. Keep up the good work.
@@gregorydobson4307 White water is an amazing series which is right on the edge of risk and adventure for the reward. Thanks for coming back to me, cheers.
i thought that was gold on the edge at 14:28
the GoPro camera isn't the greatest one for showing what's in the pan to be honest. I'm not sure what it was though, well spotted.
Great videos more please
Thanks for watching, I have a great sniping video to come soon.
Great stuff
Thanks for watching and commenting Parmorama
Mrdaz do you need a license?
On some rivers you can easily get a liscence such as Leadhills in Scotland. On others it's kind of out of site of mind.
MrDazp1 thanks. 👍👍👍👍👍
My sister lives in bontddu North Wales home of the original St David's clogau mine and the river runs past her house just wondering on the legallities of panning in that area
I wouldn't want to give the wrong advice but I would follow the footpaths and rights of way to the location you mentioned and do some recreational prospecting . It is far enough out of the way, if you know what I mean, to spend an afternoon and maybe not see a sole. I know exactly where you mean too. That area is part of the 30 mile gold belt.
How you can call that working is beyond me lol. What drone do you have? Keep up the great videos, thanks from Leeds. ....Dave
It's only a bit of fun Dave. Thanks for watching. The drone is the DJI Spark. It's a good little piece of kit.
Yep, like these videos. My girls are getting me a pan for fathers day, going to go to the stream near me and get some practice in. I've learned so much from TH-cam especially yours, keep it up.
Good luck Andy and give it a try. Take a nice picnic with you too. All the best.
correct me if im wrong but for some reason i recall hearing that any gold found in wales automatically belongs to the crown via the prince of wales. I may have misheard or mis-remembered
I tend to throw the tiny specs back now after my session for this reason but if they wanted it I would happily give it to them.
Another great vid. Given that the much of the west coast saw volcanic action it makes you wonder just what's out there.
There will be veins which run from Cornwall, Devon into Wales, Ireland ,The Lakes and on to Scotland. It's all good stuff.
We Go Panning Here!!!!
It's a great location
It sure is amazing place and come down panning with the fella
There some nice silver coins and jewellery coming out of the ground , just shows you only have to walk out of the door to fun near where we live in the North.
I need to have a go at detecting , thanks for the comments.
did u get permission to gold prospect ?? just wondering
Do you have anymore information about permissions for the viewers please .
All gold and silver are the property of the Crown in the UK and to mine them in any form requires a license from the Crown Estate, together with permission from the land owner: www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=751b967f-198b-4073-bc80-9db8ffd2b52f
Reference to the FAQ section on the Crown Estate website addresses the question of licenses for gold panning, where it states that the crown does not issue licenses for gold panning due to the adverse environmental impact it can have on the aquatic environment. www.thecrownestate.co.uk/en-gb/resources/faqs/
One would also need to exercise further caution if there are environmental protections in place, for example large areas around Coed y Brenin are designated as SSSI's, where disturbing sediments for any reason could potentially land fines of up to £20k if the correct permissions haven't been sought in advance of starting operations.
I believe (some of) those who have commercial licenses for working gold in the Dolgellau gold belt pan in a tank and not the river. They aren't necessarily sourcing the concentrates from active river beds either, thus avoiding any issues about aquatic disturbance.
