Pretty much everywhere in the south and western part of the state is too dry for anything else. Occasional wet winters provide enough water to run a small sluice or recirculating highbanker. I know of someone who classifies material through screens and takes the material home to run in a highbanker. They don't quite trust that a drywasher saves all the gold, which it might not keep very fine stuff, but it sure is a lot less work than hauling buckets home!
Yes I do! It doesn't hurt to be sure. I may not run everything twice, but a majority I do, especially while I'm adjusting angle and air flow. After I hand pan I'll put all my concentrates that came out of the pan into a bucket and run it through a recirculating cleanup setup at home as well. Don't forget to detect your larger rocks too! If a nugget was on that side, most any decent detector should pick it up! (sorry bounty hunter metal detectors) Thank you for your question and watching my videos!
Your video editing skills could definitely use improvement to make this video easier to watch. Try fast forwarding, like everyone else uses (except the technologically challenged), to make your content hold your audience attention before moving on to the next video or having to watch it at 2x which is lame.
Yeah, I do cut out a lot of stuff as it is, but I do need to trim it more to hold better attention. Thanks for watching and I'll do my best to reduce the less entertaining parts.
I have looked at geological surveys, mining reports, books about Utah mining districts, books about prospecting in Utah, and word of mouth information from old miners. I am always looking for new information and new places to go. Thanks for your comment!

Haha! A vacuum could have helped as well!
That’s a lot of work for $40 of gold
It is a lot of work, but if it were easy, gold wouldn't be worth anything. :)
Where exactly is this?
Hilarious how you ask that on everyones videos. 🤣
It's worth a shot.@@schristiansen3151
Seems like the dry wash is the way to go huh ?

I so badly wanted to say "Notebook" after you said handy dandy.
Haha my wife said the same thing when I was editing it! 🤣
Do you rerun the tailings as a double check

Thank you for your question and watching my videos!

I live in Utah and travel. Thanks for asking!
Are you on a club claim or BLM land?
It is BLM, but a private claim I was granted access to. This video is not on a club claim like some of my older videos.
Ok thanks, heavy pans
