![What We Discovered Buried Shocked The Whole World❌ [ Strange Treasure Hunt By Metal Detector ]](/img/n.gif)
Klesh, thanks for this video! I went into that forest, couldn’t get to your spot but I found gold in three other access points in the El Yunque!
Hey Kevin thanks for watching, I can’t wait to return to PR it’s a great place 👍 I miss the snow cone street vendors
Where were the 3 access point if you don't mind sharing ?
@@Cruzknows I don't remember the exact locations, I just would drive around and pull over when I saw running water. Lots of places to check there!
Man that place, has been well and truly cleaned. I’d still say the only big gold left will be virtually the highest point, where know one ever looks. Wink wink.
Good Idea Chris Nicholson! Thanks for watching!
Hey hope you loved the visit in my island hope to see you back again
It was really great in PR
I started watching these prospecting videos on TH-cam from different people, and asked if this was done where i live (San Juan, PR) then it's one of your videos. Very inspiring video, hope you had a great time in Puerto Rico, you are welcome here, and you got me subbed.
Thanks, we had a great time visiting beautiful Puerto Rico. We especially liked the national forest and old town San Juan. We did some fun diving and snorkeling too out on the east end.
@@kevinsingel7213 Awesome, I usually live in San Juan and I stay most of the time at Old San Juan, its always a great time.
Peace and the sounds of nature, can't beat that. You did find gold, better than getting completely skunked. Enjoy all your videos. Thanks.
I agree joel jeffery, and thanks for watching!
Wonderful as always my friend thank you for the hard work and fun you share with us
Thanks John Savage for watching!
Great video. I’m from Puerto Rico I never prospected gold but I always like it. I still remember a very old map from school that showed two gold locations, one was in el yunque and the second one was on the west side between adjuntas and Ponce. I talk to and elderly couple many years ago in adjuntas and they told me that gold was found in that area. My goal for this year is to do some panning on the creeks and river on that area
Cool! Yeah el Yunque was a fun time! Silver there too!
I live in front of that river and i have never look 4 gold, and today 2021 is the first time i ever noticed that that same river was completely mined..... with Maria may be some different areas are uncovered now..... i will check soon on that....
That was a very peaceful relaxing video Thanks!
Thanks Insolent Stickleback glad you enjoyed it!
Great series!! Always enjoy your videos. Thanks!!👍👍
Thanks Darcy Hay glad you enjoyed it!
Cool video man! I live on the western part of the island. I also md and prospect for gold. Hope you find more gold next time you visit! Have a good one!
Thank you for doing this video. I would love to explore and find some specks. :) It looks relaxing.
It definitely is relaxing. To learn more about this adventure check out the article I wrote findinggoldincolorado.com/finding-gold-in-puerto-rico/
awesome vid klesh cant wait til the next.
Thanks RJ money for watching!
Just ordered some tomspaydirt brotha ty nice work
Nice Matteo Di Fiore, Cool story!
Thanks for coming to my beautiful country! Come back again!
I enjoyed it in PR, everyone was very nice and I had a great time.
Beautiful river!
One day one day!! Thank you for this video!!
Thanks for sharing your gold prospecting experience in Puerto Rico. That was just one stream you were prospecting. There are a lot of streams in the island you may try next time.
Thanks Edwin Perez glad you enjoyed it! I did visit a few other areas in different videos, I have about 8 videos from Puerto Rico here on my channel.
In my younger years, tracking the shore of a river with my cousin
in Patillas, we saw a few golden and shining flakes of something that resemble gold, it could have been fools gold also, who knows? Even nowadays we remember that. Have fun and peace in paradise my friend!
Hello i am from Patillas Puerto Rico
I have come across something like that in el angelito near el yunque
Looks like it was a great trip. Well done.
Thank you Robin Dunn!
Good video. Just shows that the area you panned is clean. Or, you have to move boulders to get to bedrock. By the year you mentioned that people stopped prospecting I have to say that panning stopped way before that, like 500 years ago. When the US came 'here' most stopped working and hence stopped panning and working the land. There is gold but further up river where it is very hard to get to. Probably a couple of days to go up. There is gold in other rivers much easier to get to and 500 years of being left alone. Flood gold is there especially after Maria and last month which had over 10 flash floods. Let me know the next time you come over. Say,... that classifier is so awesome! I wish it was like 30 bucks though. BTW, Im retired and I dedicate time to do this hobby. I camp out in remote places with my Lab and we spend quiet times together And yes it is true that there are no mosquitos. That's because the water is constantly moving and laying eggs is futile. The river I go to has but very little. So a little off is great. Take care and it is good you had the suspicion to go and pan.
Edward Delgado I live near Patillas river and was thinking of going prospecting and camping but its not something i could do alone without any company. Where u from? maybe we could go prospecting upriver.
Seems you haven't yet done sampling in the Patillas river. Check between Charco Azul and Muñoz Rivera. See if you get some color. Patillas river is close to Maunabo which tells me its a good chance to find gold in that river. Im on the north central. The reason I camp out alone with my dog is to avoid humans. Trust me that solitud with your pet is the best experience. Our jungles are safe, especially at night. Give it a try.
new handle on the classifier, your work or did you have it done somewhere?
Arbor Fabricating now makes all it's classifiers without the wire handle after we did some improvements on the design. Much more sturdy and permanent, thanks for watching!
Just being out looks nice compared to sitting at home mailbox prospecting. Thanks AL
I agree Oldies&Goodies, and thanks for watching!
looks really nice there shane :)
Love the vids always look forward to the next one and wondering what you're up to
Thanks Kenny Hand for watching!
No matter what amount of gold you find when you are prospecting, your YT videos are plenty of gold to me Shane :)
Thank you MrInsaint!
In those surroundings, gold or no gold still an awesome time outside in nature. I could sit there panning all day and not find a thing and still go home happier than when I arrived.
I'm headed to San juan on a cruise and was hoping to do some panning in a nearby river in the area. Any suggestions on close rivers in the area ?
All rivers in PR should have gold just make sure you’re not on private property have fun!
It's a shame I can't travel anymore. It just looks like fun and adventure. Cheers!
Its looks nice over there did you have any luck metal detecting over there
Yeah found a giant silver nugget a few videos back, also tons of coins, old bullet etc. in the following videos. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the adventure😊
Thanks Just In Time Prepping for watching!
Great video man!! I am a resident have been prospecting rivers here in Puerto Rico for a few years now and have found rivers with very little gold. On the other hand I have found some rivers with an unbelievable amount of something that looks like gold. Its flaky and buttery, so I went thru many videos here on youtube trying to identify the source. So I went upstream and followed the river to where the river is born which leads to a town way up in the mountains. These mountains compositon is not made up of dirt but of sand..its like crushed quartz rocks, many huge mountains made of this stuff. Inside this stuff its gold but im not sure if its gold or pyrite. If its gold then we are onto something extremely major. Im not an expert and would like to mail a sample to see what you think.. the small nuggets found inside the sand when pressed hard enough between your fingers breaks up into a buttery flake and does not look like an USA nugget which are a bit harder. If this stuff is gold then I have found a huge gold vein motherload. This place would have been unaccessable back in the days due to its location and many mountains but now there are roads. There also huge rocks along the river which break up with light pressure and inside of these rocks also gold. I couldn't sleep for days thinking I struck rich but im not really sure. Please let me know if I can mail you a sample, thank you! Peter pedrojulioconcepcion43@gmail.com
Hey Pedro, sounds interesting. You can send me a sample I'd be interested in even doing a video on it. Please send a note with the sample (keep the note short if you'd like it read in the video) and you can expect a video within a month or 2 of it being sent! All my info's in the description
@@Klesh did you ever make the video on the sample? Would love to watch it if its uploaded
Great vid Shane. I really enjoyed Puerto Rico, thank you for taking us there. Did you toss that tiny piece piece of flower gold? Just wondering. What beautiful places you get to go to :)
Yes I threw it back. Thanks for watching!
Next time could you please grab it and save it for me. Anytime you feel the need to toss them, just grab em and put them in a little bottle for me for a special project. You won't regret it :)
I absolutely love your videos. Been subscribed now for about a month, watched nearly all ur vids lol.
Unfortunately I'm from southern Minnesota, no gold or anything of value to pan in this area... am curious about the mail order at home panning options. Wouldn't mind trying my luck at that someday to test and see if I have any skill at all.
Will be visiting a cousin of mine down in the Denver area next summer. He's a novice panner, he's the one that turned me to ur channel. Guessing we're gonna be hitting the local rivers since he's wanting to do it more. Any advice?
Sure man, pretty much every river in and around Denver has some gold in it. I've hit up most of the recreational panning places around here in different videos in case you're looking for a spot to go. I like to suggest Arapahoe bar for anyone looking for very easy access to the panning location from parking, and guaranteed a little bit of gold. (i mean little bit literally!) Anyway glad you enjoy my videos and thanks for watching!
@@Klesh as for the panning from home. To test my might lol, I just recently sat through ALL of ur vids on that topic. Unfortunately failed to write the best ones down as I was going. Just wish southern Minnesota had something, it'd make things more entertaining up here. Lol
Waooo my country i hope me can one day do metal detecting nice video thanks for sharing super like 👍👍👍
Thank you PR detection!
Next time in PR let me know. Great video
Hi from puertorico now is my new hobby thanks
God bless you my brother
Hola..Nice video..You did a very good job and also worked hard..Thanks for sharing, and visited PR.
Thanks Socorro, PR is awesome and I'd be happy to visit again for more exploration.
Wow I'm 47 and never give thinking to gold in rivers here, actually it's very rare or I have to say I haven't hear anyone talking about searching for gold in Puerto Rico! Obviously I'd love to get some but,well I know nothing about gold mining or searching! Well it's good to know and see your video,feel welcome and be careful with the non law respecting people around here! Never mention you search for gold on the streets! 🙋♂️
Whenever I go to el angelito near el yunque and the water always has some type very tiny goldish flakes coming down, so maybe upstream there is gold
I have lived here all my life and recently started gold panning for the first time after seeing a some youtube videos but man i feel like the spanish already took all the gold! I couldn’t find anything after multiple attempts. Do you think PR has been cleaned out?
You need to go up into the mountains further. Ponce de leon didn't get it all!
KleshGuitars that’s good to know. Thanks brother!
Hey Klesh u mentioned getting eaten by midges in Scotland..what is a midge? Thanks
You have no idea how lucky you are!
must-see-scotland.com/midges-in-scotland/
😃😆
They're terrible
Do any of the other carribbean islands have gold too?
Yea they do. Not sure exactly which ones, haven't done that much research yet.
Oh, WOW this is very interesting think
Great time out there dude, a shame it’s not full of gold but who cares it’s fun looking 🤪🌵🌴🦂⛏
Thank you respectanimals2!
Be on the lookout for big foot.
Looks like the Swift river here in Maine.
Nice MrDoeboy356, Cool story!
Nice place for camping thanks for sharing, later
Thank you Peter Boese!
after seeing all the youtube gold panners i finally bought a garett super sluice. they look good and everyone likes em so now i have one in my posession
Good Idea icychill105! Thanks for watching!
That was fun.
Thanks TrueIndie88 glad you enjoyed it!
I was driving, listening. When you said corner of the pan..
Thanks Ric Havic for watching!
I’m in PR. Any other river worth prospecting. Thanks
I'm sure they all are worth checking out. I do know the Mameyes specifically has a rich gold mining history , but I have not researched in depth any other rivers in PR.
Cool video
Thank you Scott Rodriguez!
That's how I feel prospecting in central Ohio. One lil spec for all m uh efforts. Glad you had a good time...that's the point of prospecting right?
I agree Chris Smith, and thanks for watching!
No mosquitoes! Excellent!
Thanks Wooden Canoes for watching!
Dan Hurd is rougher on his panning, you should try it out and maybe have a better find???
I did spend time in mameys back in the 70s grow up in P.R. now in us.dint know eneting about gold.
It’s beautiful ! Did you fill in that hole you dug up?! I hope so. That would have been an ugly thing to leave behind.
I always back fill my holes from any type of excavations as seen in many of my other videos, although even if I didn't fill this one, the river would've filled it naturally anyway. Thanks for the question and for watching
No mosquitoes how nice 👍🏻 not much gold but still an amazing video .
Thank you stizzo1986!
Love it
Thank you Danny Riveras!
another braw vid cheers, haha i have seen grown men cry because of the midge ! 👍👍👍
Thank you Glencoebhoy!
I let you know if i find some. Im from PR
Thank you Knightwolfpr!
KleshGuitars thanks for visit PR! Hope you like it
try the rio grande de loiza above san lorenzo. Get down to bedrock and also crevice. you do have to work for the gold you can find. It might take ten/ twenty times out on the river to find anything , but remember "quitters don't find gold"
Bro u live there? I've been going there let me know if you still around I found a good spot
Nope just visiting for my "50 States of Treasure" series! Getting all US Territories as well.
Spain...stole it
Thanks roberto detres for watching!
If you want to know where the gold of the New World is, look no further than La Catedral de Sevilla in Spain. 😂
Not much gold but the fun of trying is worth it. Plus look the surrounding, just beautiful.
I agree Oscar's Collection, and thanks for watching!
Just goes to show that we all blank now and again. Better luck next trip.
Thanks Dave D for watching!
🤔 so much dirt falling of the pan. Didn’t you fill it up to much?
Nope, that's the process for gold panning. Thanks for watching!
Their dried our river mate I'm from puerto rico. I'm kind of curious to go for hunt. But is sad that is almost nothing.
Hi Like you said the gold would only be a bonus the real gold is the place. Dennis
I agree Gold-Den, and thanks for watching!
Isn't it Illegal to prospect or metal detect In National Parks?
Yes, it is. However, it i Not illegal to prospect National forests, as long as it isnt' privately owned, or someone else's claim.
Colon took all the gold from Puerto Rico
I'm prospecting on an area that have been worked hard for more than 2000 years! Still find that Yellow! You just need to do your homework before you get it! Find bedrock and crevice! Best indicator of what is in the system.
Thanks Meganeura* for watching!
KleshGuitars my pleasure.
at least PR didn't skunk you /^5. Is this where you found the silver ore ?
~rad~
Found the silver ore / nugget about 3 miles from this location
I'm sorry but I must digress, if you can see it it's worth whooping out the snuffer bottle. Oui?
Well yes and no. I usually do grab it, but didn't this time.
Nice area.
CR
Thank you CR62!
I just won some tomspaydirt from BJ Crow THE CROW. My son will pan it because I don't have any equipment. Sorry been missing so many videos. I will try to catch up. Been sick. ATB & HH
Hey Shirl that's cool you won some paydirt! I don't think you've missed any videos, you comment on every one! Thanks!
I will check even though I don't remember seeing anything that I missed. Thanks so very much Shane.
I live there
Me gusta el oro
Nice adventure. Too bad no gold. I think you got there about 500 years too late. peace out
I agree E Stars, and thanks for watching!
Brother you’re in Heaven🇵🇷🇵🇷❤️❤️
It’s a great place
Their supposed to be nugget but is no longer
Sadly the Spanish took it from us ☹️
😂
Are you still here?
Yes, here in the comments
💚🤟
En adgunta Jayuya y Utuado hay oro.
Huh, 2nd video in a row with 4 dislikes, those ex girlfriends sure are persistent, lol.
They sure are! Lol
worse metho of washing gold 7:43 puering all in the water.
love my Island .. love going 2 el #yunke .. 13 years out here #caribbeanlife #countryboy #hillbilly
Thank you Joel Colon!
Send me massage and mister gold in Puerto Rico
Thanks lindalunna for watching!
España se llevó todo el oro de nuestra isla por eso la isla se llamaba Puerto Rico por eramos ricos.
She is saying that all of the gold of Puerto Rico was robbed by Spaniards in the decades of Cristobal Colón , they invaded our island they changed crystals for gold to our ancestors the native indians ! The name of Puerto Rico 'Rich Port' i because we were rich at that time..... 🤷🏻♂️
go to guyana you’ll get a lot of gold
He knows where to find it.
Ill have to do some research but sure. I'll go there looking for gold.
Omg i feel guilty now, as its quite dangerous. Its a few miles hike off path. Anything you need to know just ask. Unless your prepared to absail 700 feet at 45 degrees. Id take a mate or drone.
Good try 👍🏻
Thank you milesnn!
✌😁🇵🇷
PR!
Si, yes.
Wepa! I was born like 30 minuets from that place.... cool! You got there 500 years too late, Spain got it all!!!
That's true!
stop searching if you found gold Puerto Rico
government will take it from you.
They can have it, I just care about the video footage.
Ernesto Ramos - Imagine, they want to tax sunlight!☀️
Not true
How is it not true?
Bro do you know this is illegal??
National forests are 100% legal for recreational gold prospecting
