Nice job with the dowsing rods. I'm so glad to see you back out on the creeks looking for the AU. Hope all is well with you and your family. I have missed watching your videos. I'm going this weekend and I hope that I will find some. Take care and I will see you on the next video.
I hadn't seen that dowsing technique before...as the rods usually have a 90 degree bent handle with a plastic tube / straw covering the wire of the handle. But as long as the rods freely swivel or move in a crossing motion, should still work. However, you might find that it detects a hot rock or bottle cap a few feet under water or below the gravel layer...as they're really good at detecting various kinds of metal, not just gold. I have difficulty with areas that are highly mineralized or have a lot of black sand present...as the rods will cross at wrong times...not detecting what I'm looking for (they don't have metal discriminators on them like some electronic metal detectors do...the cheap ones at Harbor Freight have the discrimination mode to cancel out iron and only find better electro conducting metals like silver, platinum, copper, gold, and unfortunately lead.
Love the Channel, but: Dowsing, also known as divining, is a practice that involves using tools like dowsing rods or pendulums to locate underground water, minerals, or other hidden materials. While some people believe in its efficacy, there is no scientific evidence to support the claims made by dowsing practitioners. Numerous studies and controlled experiments have been conducted to test the validity of dowsing, but the results consistently show that dowsing performs no better than random chance. The apparent successes of dowsing can often be attributed to the ideomotor effect, where subtle, unconscious muscle movements can cause the dowsing tools to move, giving the illusion of a "response." Most scientists consider it to be a pseudoscience, as it lacks a plausible physical mechanism and cannot be reliably replicated under controlled conditions.
There are many who consider themselves debunkers and professional skeptics. But if they have no actual experience with trial and error for which they poo poo about, then it's more likely they simply have a personality disorder and don't really care to know the truth of a matter. I happen to have experience with the copper wire dowsing rods...and have found that they will (if held properly) cross directly over anything metal...though aren't able to discriminate as to what metal they detect. They are capable of crossing over metal objects that are at least 3 feet underwater, underground, under a boulder, under a shrub, under green eggs and ham if you want. The problem I've had with using such rods in creek beds is that they will cross over hot rocks (iron containing rocks) as well as areas where the black sand has gathered (magnetite...is iron based). So, bless his heart for trying the rods. But they work best in non mineralized areas. Albert Einstein had something to say about dowsing rods..."I know very well that many scientists consider dowsing as they do astrology, as a type of ancient superstition. According to my conviction this is, however, unjustified. The dowsing rod is a simple instrument which shows the uncanny reaction of the human nervous system to certain factors which are unknown to us at this time."
@@gonetoheck What you're saying is like saying "magic is real and I can prove it." No, you can't. You may have had luck, but that's all it was. There is no force in the universe capable of translating "gosh I'd like to find gold" to "mah sticks moved!" other than magic, and magic isn't real. I get that people do it, cool.. and I get that sometimes it works, cool. But don't defend the impossible.
@@melcrose The dowsing rods sold at stores are usually made of brass...which yield results that aren't as accurate as using rods made from copper wire. Rods made of aluminum or coat hangers are even worse than brass. (yes, I have experience with this...and you obviously don't). Our bodies have an electromagnetic field around us that extend out maybe 6 feet in all directions...and within this field the dowsing rods, when held outwardly, act as a type of antennae...which somehow can detect other metal objects and cross directly over them...the objects can be aluminum, iron, copper, gold, silver, lead, etc. (which I have tried and you haven't) and the copper rods still cross directly over the metal object. I've placed a quarter under a few concrete blocks and the rods still crossed over the quarter...as well as underneath a big tub of water and the rods still crossed. What experiments have you done ?? Go ahead, enlighten us ? Could you even tell the difference between how quickly the rods uncross after passing over a metal object ? This is why I prefer copper over brass rods...for accuracy sake. (your covert narcissism is showing...I was married to one for a dozen years.)
@@gonetoheck You could make the rods out of thin air and paper dreams mixed with snozberries and they would be as accurate as the most expensive rods you can buy, because it's 100% impossible that any of them work in the first place.
Looks like good times and good gold for 5 buckets. Your sluice and pan design are making it more productive, heck yea👍🏻😎
Hi Mark, You will have to come down and play with us sometime.
So I have re worked the gold pan. What a surprise right. LOL
You should send a Pan to Vogus in Australia. He has been looking for a flat sided pan.
Maybe the new air pocket flat sided pan.
Great job all around fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Thank you! Will do!

Good luck to you this weekend. Hope to get out a lot this year we have some new places to try out just waiting for the snow to melt up high.
Take care
Good day on the creek, a bit of colour is always a good day in my book. Well done Alan.
❤it 🙃
Thanks 👍
Thanks! I definitely be checking it out.
Good morning and thank you, ⛏️👍
Good morning!
Liked n commented 🤴🏻🍻🗽 13:12
Thank you
It was a great day on the crik! Had a blast!
It sure was. Can't wait to get back up there. Thanks for dowsing us a good spot.
Just amazing work fam. Great job all around. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

So I stink at using dowsing rods but my buddy swears by them and seems to do well finding gold with them. Thanks for the input.
AUsome spot! New sub
Heavy Pans!!!
Thanks for the sub! We will be going back as soon as the water slows down.
Relay like this! Interested in possible try purchase some of your equipment you have for sale
Thanks for watching. The products are at printingprospectors.com
I turned the quality up to 1080p and it still looks like 240p. Then suddenly it's sharp, then not. Appreciate the video though.
