you definitely have the best camera work out of all these random gold panner channels, the sped up footage is a nice touch because it allows you to see more of the actual work in a shorter period of time.
@Erick_The_Green Thank you, that means alot to me :) I've been focusing on my camera work recently
@@SkovianGoesOutdoors you made me super thirsty in that last video
@Erick_The_Green Hahaha, I am so close to heatstroke every video hahaha I make myself thirsty just thinking about it
Another great day on the gold Skovian , And a very respectable total 👍👍 Yes , i'm glad you added the bit about the yabbie pump at the end , because there is only one way to recover gold off the top of bedrock under water , and that is suction . Without that , you would have lost lots of gold . Nice going matey 👌✔ Cheers Ned . ✌
Thanks Ned, I wish I was able to get recordings of the yabby pump in action,(the family was going bonkers 15 feet from my microphone and it was just a mess trying to get anything recorded haha)
@@SkovianGoesOutdoors Hahaha , i understand 👍👌
Thanks for sharing! We just got a claim up in Douglas county. Super excited to get started with prospecting.
@@kayperkayful that's awesome! I hope you find a nice nugget on your new claim :)
How does one go about finding claims?

@steveezard8859 check out the mineral and Land record system on the blm website
Not bad at all brother, #AllGoldMatters ✨️⛏️💪🏻👍🏻
Thank you brother
I like his classifying method. I would use a tarp to catch all the gold. A similar method is to use a tarp in a small creek. classify and wash at the top of the tarp and have the remaining 10 or 16 feet of tarp set up as your sluice (with rocks for riffles).
That's actually really good idea! If I can get a good spot to set that up I'll have to give it a try!
So glad to see you guys playing in the dirt! Nice job.
Honestly, that was one of my favorite prospecting trips of the year :) I can't wait to get back out there again
Almost 50k views! Let’s go Colton!!! 🔥 💯 🔥
@GoldHunter-77 thank you:) I'm super stoked on it! The video started coming back to life again over the last few days :) and BTW congrats on your glacial gold video, that thing took off :)
Great day out there getting that Au fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Thank you GS :)
Looked like a great day out on the water brother. Keep your pans heavy and remember gold is where you find it. SPYDER Out.
Thank you Spyder:)
Wise words Spyder 👍
I'd be out every day if I found gold like that. Well done pal!
@OreExplorer thank you :) i tried to get out as often as I could, the gold kept calling me back
Well done!
Nice gold. Very nice!
Thank you Greg :)
Always good. Nice to meet you Rodney!
It was really good go meet him. Really nice guy
Nice work Skovian! Nice gold once again!
Why not bring an extra large pan or cookie sheet to pile all the classified material on? I bet you are losing some gold doing it without.
Good gold hunting!
Take care.
I had brought a yabby pump with me so I wouldn't lose anything (took me all day to get it working though haha)
Great job all around Man! Awesome progression in the channel too almost 20k view on this one yeah!! 🎉🎉🎉 keep pushing man. I’m taking a break for a while fishing and stuff. Ooh this is Goldhunter77 my new fishing channel lol😂
@ExtremeCoastAdventures Thank you brother! I forgot that you had this second channel, I'm gonna have to watch some fishing vids! Can't wait till you get back out on the Gold again :)
@@SkovianGoesOutdoors yep and no I’m subscribed twice to you I think 😂
Man wish I was down there digging around by you guys somewhere! Nope sitting in the breakroom watching your cool video!!! Great show Skovian!👍👍👍👍👍
@@fordprospecting thank you :) I hope you get the chance to get down to the river soon
Yeah it's about a 3 and a half hour drive down to your area from where I live straight down I-5, was thinking about coming down and camping out for a few days
@@fordprospecting let me know if you do :)
Will do for sure! Have a good week
@fordprospecting you too :)
Great beautiful candies. Good job. Congrats
Thank you :) I had a great few days on the river, can't wait to get back and find some more gold :)
@@SkovianGoesOutdoorsyesterday I had some specs. Kind of disappointed
@77FelipeDuarte keep at it man, you'll find a good spot soon. It took me 2 months to find a decent spot this year
@@SkovianGoesOutdoors I don't GA has decent gold
Hey man, great video and good to see you get a fair amount of gold for a fun day panning! Good to see some new strategies for finding gold.
Thanks man :) I had a blast panning w/ Rodney
Keep up the good work...
Thank you, I will :)
Almost a gram of gold just panning for the day is not too shabby! Great video. Subbed ya!
@@Highplainsprospectors Thank you :) I found a nice easy spot to work with nice gold
Skovian, I've always liked your videos and especially the last two! It's helpful to see the line and where you are digging. Maybe even line the shot up with the river, especially if there is a bend. Adding in some of the why this might be a good spot...Thanks for putting all these videos together!
Also, have you tried a ducky kayak in and camp for a few days?
@pacificgarland901 Thank you, that really means alot to me :) I had tended to shy away from the educational aspect in my videos. I figured there were more qualified people to learn from than a kid like me. I'll have to start putting a little more effort into explaining why I dig where I dig and what I look for in my videos :) I had borrowed an inflatable backpack kayak once, but only to cross the river. I really wanna try it again though. Ive also been thinking about making a stand alone video just on what types of bedrock I look for and what types of bedrock I avoid, aswell as a beginner how to gold pan video
I've always wanted to camp on the river for an over night video, I just need to be able to have a campfire haha (fire season) it just wouldn't feel right without one
That's pretty awesome bro! Good day indeed.
Thank you bro! I had a really good few days :)
That's a great spot, yeah I'd stay there for a while.
I really want to, but there's a few other areas I want to check out, I might save this spot as a fall back :)
Fine I had to go ahead and LIKE!
@@onehamptonedwards3541 haha, thank you :)
Nice
Thank you :)
nice specimen there love the video
@nathan39romero thank you brotha :)
@@SkovianGoesOutdoors imma try that panning technique myselfe
@@nathan39romero just make sure the gold and the waterline are in the same spot :)
Amazing
Thank you :)
That’s it, staying connected is always best lol 😅 0:35.
Haha, it helps me keep track of what the gold is like in different areas
Good video brother. New sub you. Great area to be finding gold.👍👍Are you permitted to use any other equipment?🤔🤔That would be a good spot for a sluice at least.😲😲 Powered equipment would be better yet. Thanks for sharing your adventure.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
@CandSMINING Thank you! Sadly I'm only allowed to use a pan in this spot. No sluices or powered equipment. I would love to be able to sluice this area, I know it's holding onto a bunch of gold :)
Nice pans man! Got a sweet spot! Eazy digging too!
Gotta love the easy spots. Nothing worse than spending half an hour digging enough dirt for one pan haha
@@SkovianGoesOutdoors yea or moving 1k lbs boulders lol
I just subscribed to your channel. The replies given to comments prove to me, the respect given to your viewers.
@markthomas4083 thank you :) I really do respect and am appreciative of all of my subscribers. I'm glad you're here :)
You should bring a small whisk broom to use in the craves you are working on to help clean up deep inside the craves.
I bring a shop vaccume with me every once in a while, I haven't used in in a few weeks, I should probably bring it with me next trip
I classify in the hole, too!
That's awesome :) got any extra tips ?
A small rake wears off much slower than your fingers, and it's faster yet regards George
@georgedobrovsky3800 I've been on the look out for a small hand rake, but I never am able to find a nice sturdy one
Awesome-sauce Skovian... i think this is the most youve found in 1 go.. and ya didnt have to use the vacumn or be a Billy goat to find it. Cool beans. Hopefully next time will be even more. 😎👍🤟
I can't wait for that 1g+ day :) I'm sure I can do it too :)
Hi from Melbourne Australia. The silver piece you panned is most likely mercury coated gold. Old timers used it a lot in the 1800's. Hope that helps. Your mate, Peter.
@petermaskell4133 Thank you Peter :) I'll have to be extra careful with that piece
Gloves. You are on it. Nice to see.
@karlstruck5297 just got a pair :) no more slicing my fingers
Good gold . Nice day even with family. Blessings. Love God
Thank you :) I hope you have a great day
Does every river in the mountains contain gold nuggets, or are there specific characteristics?
@AkunBanyak-o1o it all depends. If the river is in gold producing mountains, there is a good chance the river contains gold. Some places the gold is eroding out of the mountain and falling into the river, or the gold falls into a creek which in turn brings it to the river. when it comes to nuggets, you have to be really close to the host source of the gold. The further down the river it travels, the gold gets ground up into tiny flakes/ glitter sized pieces(by the time it reaches the beach its extreamy small/fine)If you go too far upstream past the source of gold, you won't find anything. As a good rule of thumb, most creeks and rivers you run across probably won't have gold in it. Do some research and find some rivers with historical mining activity on them, look at a map of gold mines and see where the highest concentrations are, should get you pointed in the right direction :)
Watched the whole video waiting to see this new gold panning technique only seen a different way of classification
Interesting, wonder if that way on panning legal in British Columbia.
Rules extremely strict here especially in free flowing water ( salmon).
@wesblood3620 I don't believe I've ever heard of any rules up there that would stop you. Along as you are allowed to dig in the water, I would expect it to be legal (maby not the yabby pump, but the broom and dust pan)
Never done panning or detecting but why aren't you detecting as you pan?? It would be logical to me! Good video from Northern England.
@johnallright6847 a good detector is just way too expensive for me, I really want to get one though. Maybe one day :)
what is that blue classifier ?
It's the XP classifier. Instead of square holes, it has rhombus shaped holes. I've never had a rock get stuck it it. I would definitely recommend the XP pan and classifier.
@@SkovianGoesOutdoors thank you, I might just try one of them, as for pans, have you tried Sluice Fox??? Ireally like thier med n large pans thier sluice box is awesome, I bought them for all 4 grandkids and use a pair linked together myself..
Looks like Volcano Ash deposits.
I'll have to look into that, thank you :)
Great spot.maybe consider flushing those crevasses with water and use suction to do obstruction
@@actionjackson9554 that's a good idea :) I'll try that out soon
if your friend is heading bacck to az i live in tehachapi work hart park the Kern can refine his panning
Would you be willing to teach me how to prospect for gold in Oregon? I don't live that far from the Rouge River area
Probably mica the shiny silver piece
It could be!
What state is this in?
This is in Oregon
Use the tray to classify then pan should take about a min total
That's a good idea, I'll try that next time
You should flip that rock that you were working next to
I thought the same thing, but the closer I got to the rock the less gold was there. I should still check under it though :)
Which state are you in, if in the U.S.
@taylormach1699 I prospect in Oregon
A man after my own heart- an anti-classifier! Work smarter, not harder. The first guy.
@gnomespace it really does speed things up! And saves your back too haha
I emailed you btw
If I were you I would do that in to a plastic tub. Once the gold gets wet it's hard to get it back out of the water just saying.
@robinjeffryes2575 a tub would have been usefull, but neither of us had one. I had a crevice sucker, so I feel i was able to get most of it
Seems to me you could do better by putting your classifier on top of a 5 gallon bucket and do a better job of collecting classified material . I'm betting you are losing a lot of fine gold since you are not using a vacumm pump to clean the bottom of your sump . Can you explain your decision to do it the way you are doing it ? You could even put your gold pan under your classifier if you think carrying a bucket around with you is too much trouble .
I had a yabby pump with me, it was malfunctioning during the beginning of the day, had to let the seal soak up with water, Rodney had a dust pan and broom (had a whole section of the video where I talked about it at the end)
If I didn't have the pump, I agree, a bucket would be a much better play. I'm also planning on going over both areas with a cordless shop vac once the water level drops back to where it has been :)
You found a platinum nugget.
Good thing i held onto it :) I was secretly hoping it was platinum
Pretty good? I'd have a heart attack if i ever had pans like that holy moly!
I must just be spoiled haha, I've had some amazing pans out here before :) where do you usually prospect at?
@@SkovianGoesOutdoors Dahlonega, GA
@@SkovianGoesOutdoors Like some dan hurd type stuff there bro....mostly Flee poop here. feelers and pickers are pretty rare.....your whole pan is full of pickers.
@bentforkprospecting most of the stuff is quite flat, but there's defiantly some pickers :) Last week I found my biggest piece of gold to date! I had a ton of fun
@@SkovianGoesOutdoors awesome!
Have you thought about a cordless shop vacuum??
@directcoolingservice7225 I have a cordless shop vac I bring every once in a while, it's a really great tool :) I plan on going back over the areas Rodney amd I worked with it once the water drops from the rain we had recently
There's no hole like an old hole 🕳️
@@justinsane7128 haha 🤣 the old hole always pulls me back, I can't stay away
A cobweb will grow on your nose before you pan your first ounce of gold if all you use is a pan!
@daviddavey1727 I would use a sluice if i could, but the Law doesn't like that in this area. I just recently got a wet suit, gonna try out some sniping this year. Hopefully I find a nice nugget
I'm at a little over half an oz with just the pan, but it's taken me two years haha
Your gold is probably still in the bottom of the hole before you classify the material .
4 pounds of gold in that photo
You wish bahaha 😂😂😂
Oh that's a scam photo 😂🎉🎉
wheres your gloves while digging use them while metal detecting too
I had brought a pair with me (firt time ever digging with gloves) and I lost one already haha
Looks like your missing the pay streak. Get to the bedrock just behind you in the water..... you might learn....
@@ikemcabier401 I'll check it out, thank you
You better start making a habit out of filling in you holes. It only takes one perso to ruin it for everyone.
@D-train69 i fill in my holes when I'm done with them.
If you're limiting giveaways to US apply same rules to subs! Signing off 🤬
My last giveaway I had to pay $60 in shipping. I'm not able to afford that again. I'm sorry
show him how to move that bench in 30/ 60 min also full pans 5/10 sec to cons ude ashovel not a spoon
you are gravity panning to refine your style try using tray to pan move 1/2 buckets a min to cons dont waste river time slurping put cons aside run later move 1/2 buckets a min to consor 60/100buckes per hr
Great video, just remember though gold is the heaviest rock in the river. When you classifie in the water it will sink right down on bedrock. Unless you have a small suckered gun to suck it up off bedrock, there is no way to get the gold off the bedrock.
@Red-et2rd Thank you, I did have a yabby pump with me. It was very useful :)
Hi what is the name of the river
I see you have a dead cat for great audio and big GOLD!!!
🪦🐈🪨⛏️🪙🤒😁💰🤑
😂
Hahah 🤣 the dead cat is the best, I wish I had gotten one sooner
