Another amazing video- your camera person is doing great. As your editing person.
I have heard horror stories about that creature you kept getting video of.
We call it the Polly Monster.
The story is this creature floats in streams during the day waiting to steal your gold at night when you sleep.
If you like I can come up and run security at night.
I can set a trap and try catching the Polly Monster for you.
We can torture him with the song from Doc McStuffins until he tells us where all his Gold is.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes!! It's so good to see you running now its a lot of time and effort to get it dialed in. I totally believe your going to be blown away with this spot. Hell yeah 🤙🏼
I love when you show up, you give everyone the giggles, which is nice, and help out too, which is even better. Hugs, kid!
"That's the biggest nugget I've ever seen" 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much man, I so appreciate your help
It's truly fascinating watching your entire endeavor. You are an inspiration and I hope to, one day, be at this exact level of production. I don't need Snable's or Beet's level of mining. Your setup is a dream. Mad props and hope you get tons of that shiny! :)
Wouldn't we all. Id love to have a claim that produced. So many people out there selling ground that isn't worth the paper they sign it over to you on. I would absolutely love to work ground like this.
I love the 2 days in one video dynamic, makes it feel like a complete story!! Camera crew doing a great job
I see you Scott and thank you very much for the shot out. We are working hard to make the content the best we can and if you would like to see anything make sure you let me know and I will do my best to get it in the content for you!
That shot of you kneeling on the board over the pool, lowering in your hose, was frikken cinematically beautiful. How exciting to see all your hard work come together in a working system, and some shiny at the end!
A lesser man would have thrown in the towel on some of those hindrances.....but You are NOT a Lesser Man, Andy. To see you tackle all the obstacles was inspiring and your knowledge is astounding. You know your equipment from the top down. What a pleasure to see you smile when it all started to FLOW. Hoping you have continued progress as you mine for that gold. No one deserves it more than you.
I certainly agree that many folks would start getting mad, cussing, and even 'abusing' equipment because of inadequate functioning. Just that alone would cause many to give up entirely. However, Andy has a patient, quiet quality that will help him find gold and be a success in any future mining!
Let's go Andy lad
It's so good to see the plant running. I love the fact that your showing us the whole day and not just the good bits keep up the hard work
Congrats Andy on overcoming some of the everyday annoyances of Mining life. Always enjoy watching your episodes and the production value is far better than the other channels. And to have Pauly captured of flying off... thats a winner in itself!
16:09 I couldn't help but break out laughing when I saw Pauly's face how he looks with his face all mashed up into the wire like that!
Made me think of Buc-Ee's fuel stop!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The realness of all the little obstacles, it's nice to see I'm not the only one.
So cool to see it all fired up Andy, the cold ads a whole new dimension of difficult to everything hey? I bet it’s warming up over there now and you’re loving life all the best mate hope you hit that paystreak hard 🎉
The warm weather is finally here, and it is amazing!! Thanks so much for popping in Levi😊🙏
If you put an adaptor on the pump, you can charge the garden hose first. Put a sprayer on the discharge end and when you get no air through the line shut the sprayer off and turn the pump down, kink the inlet side, remove it, place in in the water source, and unkink it. Been there, done that, no more sucking on a hose.
It's so great seeing it all come together, and you finally being warm in the excavator, definitely worth it! Keep it up Andy, it's going to pay off and you'll quickly forget about all the hard work.
Glad you're running some pay and that the trommel is working great! Can't wait to see what you guys get off the bedrock too. Nice work Andy
Im glad you show the problems you face and its not just all rainbows and sunshines. Gives me a sense of “ahhhhh, so bad things dont just happen to me” and makes me respect what you’re doing that much more Andy. Have a killer day today brother!!!! Looking fwd to more content. Now, about to watch the second half.
Awesome new equipment, Andy! I know you had a few kinks getting the water pumps' generators flowing, but look at the end result when exercising patience and working out solutions! I saw some nice sized specks of golden goodies! I really love this new system. Glad Pauly gave you a hand (and smile 😊)! Warm hugs from Alabama ❤️
Keep them coming Andy! Definitely an inspiration to run your own set-up!.🤙🏼
Another great episode, cant wait to see a full day of sluicing. Well done!
Can't wait for you guys to do the same thing in the UK
Andy I'm an analyst, not a miner (yet) but it seems you could find value in a list of tools/items to bring, a start up list, and a shut down list.
Wow. What a perfect example of a successful small scale operation. You have come so far Andy...congrats man and much future AU!
Such a challenge!!! but you over come every time! Hope your weekend ahead is great!
Another nice Episode!
Would love to see the final processing as well :)
Thanks for sharing
Talk about staying focused. Amazing. Wishing you great success.
Nice that Pauli stopped by. Always problems when you start up, glad to see you work through them.
So happy for you! Proud moments make lasting smiles.
I get it! I've been upgrading equipment over the last few years starting with just a pan and classifier, now up to a 2" highbanker/dredge. The amount of material I can process has gone up by 100%. I can't run mechanical equipment on my claim, but can use my dredge. Thanks for showing the hard work of mining. The struggle is real
Congratulations on a great first day! It’s all work from this day forward!!! Woohoo!!!
Can’t wait for the first gold reveal
Andy... really happy for you to be up and running brother! #HeavyPans and good luck my friend!
looking forward to the keep up !!!!!
Way to go Andy and good to see Paulie there with you. I watch his videos also because the one thing that folks like us love to see is color. Hope it's a great clean up.
Great video I think only thing that’s missing is actually showing the cleanup. That’s one of the most satisfying parts for a viewer and I’m sure you.
I have a really handy trick my dad taught me with grinders. Electric tape the tool to the end of the power cable where the plug is. This does 2 things. 1. Youll always have the tool on hand. 2. Youll always have to unplug the grinder before removing disks
I use Seafoam in my fuel for small engines. Keeps everything clean and no over winter varnish in the carbs.
Love your snippets of sarcasm! Easy to see it comes from hard knocking. Lol
Wish you all the best!
Love that Pauly stopped by to lend a hand. I subscribe to both of your channels and watch religiously. Keep up the great work fellas. May the “Candy” be with you.
That's epic Andy! Glad you are friends with that crazy Pauly too. Looking forward to seeing how much gold you get!
Hi Andy,
Have you ever considered a little cabin and a wood stove for storing and preheating the hoses and maybe the pumps?
Not sure if you do this but a fine mesh catcher of some sort to do tests at your outlet to the pond, pop it on the end periodically until its caught a good pans worth and pan it out to see if the sluice is letting any gold through and needs adjustments 🙂
Really nice work today Andy! I'll be watching out for a short panning-results video before the next episode. The hopper part seems a bit fast to eject the bigger rocks, without cleaning them. Maybe it could work a bit better if the slope was sligthly lower. I don't have the full picture, obviously, but the spring mid-frame at 26:01, if those could be adjusted, or on pads that could be elevated, maybe thats enough for being able to adjust slope? I'm just speculating to get viewer interaction in. From Sweden.
Andy , G'day from Kalgoorlie WA down under . Thoroughly enjoyed watching your video , actually I watched it 3 times taking note of your set up with the sluice , trommel and grizzly bars above screens . Also your dedication and thoroughness of keep the hydrocarbons and fuels contained inside a portable bund container which I really was very pleased to see. The extra dedication you have is very inspiring and has given myself the missing link for a semi permanent setup like yours . Extra set up mate . Very impressive. Your sense of humour is like an outback Aussie , dry and straight to the point with humour which is awesome. Best wishes and regards plus continued success with your operation there. Cheers from Kalgoorlie Boulder western Australia. 👍👍👍.
I feel your pain, i was a dredger for 40 yrs before it was outlawed here in WASHINGTON state 😢
Anything and everything that can go wrong on your first trip, will!!!
Thanks for posting your adventures
Nice one dude, such an amazing video as well. I love the fact that you don't just say "oh yeah I had this this and this problem and that you include all the work you put in solving them, honestly I love that kinda stuff, I want the full experience rather than those people who just wanna see the gold, I'd genuinely stand and watch you do this all day every day cause its fascinating as hell, the fact you've built that monster of a trommel (which is sexy as hell by the way) by yourself and it works the way it does is just incredible, I bet you're so proud! I most certainly am, you're a boss dude 🤘 can't wait for the next video, this is definitely the most interesting thing going on out of the many many many channels I'm subscribed to and I'm genuinely hooked. ANDY F'KING THRAXXXXXX BABYYYYYYY 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 WOOOOOOOOO
awesome episode, have a wonderful day!
Good video Andy thanks. Bad fuel I use non alcohol fuel only, drain or run dry the carb in the fall. Some folks backfill the carb with automatic tranny fluid. Try sea foam in your new fuel it does clean the carb. Good luck this season I'm still under snow yet.
And here's Pauly! Great job Andy! Nice to see some gold in the sluice! What a hard work you are doing, figuring everything out!
Love the longer video.
Me too!!
Oh man i know how it feels to do this and that and only fixing problems to start something - that can be frustrating. But once you have your equipment set up it’s going to work. When it is finally working and only minor problems and efficiency improvements have to be done - that is a great feeling then.
Thank you so much for sharing you story with all of us. Keep on, I wish you find your treasure. :)
Hey mate, with those hoses that are hard to straighten out try shoving one end over the exhaust of your truck for a min or 2. It'll soften the hose up, then you can straighten it up and it'll be easier to handle. That's also how we change the cam locks on them. Get them nice and soft and they slide right onto the cam lock
So exciting, Andy! Good to see Pauly’s face above water
Amazing problem solving and perseverance Andy! Keep going, you’re doing amazing…it’s only going to get better as you keep at it. Things will be running smoothly before you know it. Thank you so much for the inspiration and the example you set for small time miners like me! You’re the man. So much respect!!! 👊😉⛏️
It's great to see it all coming together, I'm looking forward to you showing us the gold at the first wash up
You guys are just awesome!!! Great video, from a to z. That's another level... All the best to you Andy!!! Keep on digging 🤠👍
Looking good Andy, just looks like the rocks coming off the grizzly are still a bit dirty, but volume wins, should be a nice clean up. Thanks for sharing
I watched this when you uploaded it but the Wi-Fi at walmart wasn't letting me comment haha, literally walked around walmart for 30min watching😂😂
So happy for you mate, good to finally see some colour going through the trommel.
Q: I have to ask, have you named the Trommel yet?
Love your tenacity to knuckle down and problem solve, i know the ice is not making it any easier, so hats off to you mate for pushing through and finishing on a high note.
I can see right away I can stand to learn a lot from you, you wouldn't happen to be hiring any apprentice miners are you? 😉
But at any rate, well done Andrew, once those pumps are fixed, there will be no stopping you, Rain, Hail or Snow and Ice, its going to be epic.
I look forward to seeing your next adventure.
Ahhh, come on Andy, how much GOLD?? Lol. We want'a see ounces coming out of that beast!
Yeah finally the trommel is alive. Cwait to see the gold weight. Stay safe and keep the videos coming
So exciting to see it all coming together, and then some glitter in the sluice to top it off !! Impatiently Looking forward to next weeks episode !!!
Good to see you up and running andy hard work is finally paying off for you good to see pauly back from his adventures hope we get to see the cleanup anyways thanks for sharing peace out
Get one of those diesel torpedo heaters and make a little stockade for the end of your hose then just let it heater blow down then for a bit. after you're done putting the first one in, the second will be ready
When you laid the hose in the running water, if you had a shutoff at the downstream end, you could just lift it up, have a primed hose, turn the valve off and walk over to the cistern 😉
That was great you guys. Love the videos, a huge inspiration to me.
Thank you for putting in the work to share your adventure. I cant wait to see you hit some huge clean ups.
Why don't you make a metal frame for the trays you put the pumps in and use them as a sled/skid to move the pumps with? I have done that for over 15 years with an old pickup bed liner, sans the frame, found on the side of the road. I only suggest a frame because of the weight of the pumps. Works great on wet grass and mud too.
Great work image how easy your day will be once the snow clears and you get longer days. Hope you do a video of the clean up. Already looking forward to seeing the next video
Great video, great to see you enjoying all your hard work!
Right on. Finally got the rock washing going on. Hope the next show is that long, but all of sluicing and turning the box yellow. Sweet
Hey Andy! How about for the Water Prime for the pump you install a Valve with a funnel attached to it. That way you just switch the valve to On while the Funnel empties into the pump, and turn the valve back off.
I watch it and always say at the end "if only"I were younger !!
best bit of the week when your vids appear , thanks and good luck!
Hey Andy they make a hose line pump you connect to any battery drill
There pretty cheap too. 👍👍🍻
Awesome effort! Great to see all of the process. Good luck!
Brilliant work and brilliant video dude. Super interesting and a grate watch.
I am sure its quite frustrating struggling with that hose but watching you is really quite funny😂
So pleased for you that the trAumas have added up to some very cool lookiong bits of gold, if that one little bit of paydirt is anything to go by that will be quite the clean up...look out for Pauly sniping in your sluice, that guy can SCUBA in anything ,
Stoked that its working for you and I hope it was a grand old clean up..
Damn I thought you forgot about us Andy. I been checking every couple days 🤣
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Show me some gold, Andy.
Awesome stuff Andy! I'm so jealous but even more so happy for you man.. I would love to be in your shoes right now hehe. Happy digging bro!
Greetings Andy...Gilgold Prospecting San Antonio Tx...where every day is a Gold'n Day.. just chkn in on all that GOLD !!!!
Awesome channel! Keep em coming
So happy for you Andy! Only wish I could be there helping ya! Nice job!
I really appreciate your positivity!! Next big video is in the works as we speak
Andy u got this love the channel get that gold
That's awesome Andy! Id love to get to the island more and try to find a place to pan! Can't wait till your next show! Oh and also I think it's great to show all the little but not so little issues! Those are the ones that causes the most problems.⛏️⛏️⛏️ Stay safe and not get bitten by a vampire 😂❤️
for sure going to need a different hopper design, this trammel would be great with a small conveyor setup feeding in its current configuration.
Mount baker could probably whip one up...
30 min long episode?! Lets go!
And through all that, no cleanup and weigh-in.
Yup, loving it!
Oh, wah. Patience, i bet its a doozy!
Liked, shared and commented 🥃🍻
Love it dude . Keep up the great work .
Got to love the challenges life throws us when doing what you love the most, to know your passion in life is an honour any problems are just speed bumps you can get over them
Get two spare pumps pls !!! That way you will be able to have. Two being rebuilt or repaired while to are working ! Zero time down
Woo hoo! Been waiting patiently for a new upload! We'll maybe not patiently enough lol
Clean the carb on the Honda. Pull the float bowl and take a standard screw driver and pull the jet out from the center of the round tube hanging down. there is another part behind the jet that has tiny holes in it clean them holes put it back together and fire it up. It should run fine after that. The float bowl is a 10mm.
Wow , I love how you goldming Andy!!! Greetings from Germany
Awesome first run for sure miner problems but great day for sure 🙌🏽🤙🏽👊🏽 much Aloha for sharing this adventure with us stay blessed and mahalo
Glad you got er going buddy!
No one said it's going to be easy for sure keep at on trucking bro. Rob from California.
Thank you for this video. It forever talked me out of ever prospecting for gold!
Love the content but I think you need to change the angle of the hopper! Those big rocks still have so much dirt on them. More water less step angle and longer area before droping into the trommel would clean them good. Would want to see you through away gold with all your hard work! Love from Nanaimo! And if you ever need help would love to come donate some of my time just to be able to see you succeed and be apart of your adventure! Gold mining is my absolute passion and just love being around it!
Congratulations Andy at last you finally got down to some mining ⛏️ after all the suck and no luck on your first day because of pump issues and hopefully Pauly can pop in now and again to give you some morale support he’s a good guy but will probably snipe in your water holding pond 😂this journey is just beginning and will be epic wishing you good health and success from Glasgow Scotland 🏴 ❤
great show, sadly missed the live. some advice from a pump tech? camlocks do not perform well on suction. The problem is they just don't seal perfectly for suction and which is eaiser to suck..air or water? My advice would be to goto more of a solid connector like a hammer and wing union or another solid connector. The small pump seemed to be having bad/old fuel problems and then the carb gets gummed and they need a cleaning. but yeah! once the water goes the fun happens! Keep living the dream...were all rooting for you!
You did not just bring us through all those videos leading up to finally being able to sluice... and then leave us in suspense for the cleanup.
Way to keep the audience coming back for next episode.. lol

Good stuff Andy! Great to see your progress. What have you noticed in terms of capture rates in your upper nugget trap versus the expanded over miner's moss?
Got it goin on,great show Andy
Man you are running a very cool operation perfect size. Like Thad be my dream to do what your doing. Doing it Big!
You have overcome so many obstacles and your finding gold. Keep going and you’ll bust a huge nugget loose watch.
