      @@VoGusProspecting One hour ? Unless you live right there I'm assuming there was travel time there and back, time working the site, plus fuel cost, plus equipment cost. At today's gold price of $1305.00/oz. you made roughly $23.00. Don't get me wrong, it looks like an enjoyable way to get outdoors. Just not a very profitable one. But more power to ya

    I am a retired Air Force disabled veterean. Lately I have been diagnosed with PTSD. I use panning along with medication for theraphy for treating my PTSD. After watching every video from Vo-Gus, I have tripled the amount of gold I have been finding. Biggest difference is test panning now, before I start digging in one spot. Thanks for all your wisdom and keep with all your great videos.

    Work all area behind the rock bar and funnelled area then work towards the banks. Dig down till you hit rock floor or clay layer. In dry season clean out creek or work area completely, including cleaning out the crevices, then process. I've cleaned out many small creeks over the years in far north Queensland and had lots of success with gold, tin, gemstones. I use home-made sluice box in a kit form for easy carry or a "Banjo" type sluice box set up once on a good run that's long term working. Any old timers reading this will know of a " Banjo " type sluice box set up. Best way to remove ironstone from pan is with magnet from underneath before you fully concentrate your fines or use magnet in old film cannister gently gliding over top of fines in pan. Hope this little trick helps those who read the comments. Cheers from an old fart now in WA still, digging gold.

    Thanks for the simple speak. I’ve had the habit of not testing enough/properly. And it frustrated me every time! “Good pan on the first go! I’ll keep working this section.” 3 pans later... “Where’d all the gold go?” 🤔
    Yes, the hills are starting the thaw right now here in Canada. Creeks are slow enough to do some preflooding work and then in a few months will be low again for flood gold/flour.

    Well here my lad, You can come to the UK and specifically South Western Wales - Pembrokeshire. We have the Preselli hills, which as far as I can see, are blue clay, but I've never been up there as I don't drive (I've never got round to being not nervous enough to pass my test, despite being a better driver than most of the people I've had in the back seat).
    If you came to to the UK and my area, I could pick you up from Milford Haven train Station and have you stay at mine. Free of charge. The airport you'd be flying into would be Cardiff airport, most likely from Somewhere regarding London (Heathrow/Standsteadetc). There's a shuttlebus to the train station, where you'd change at Swansea, or Carnarthen. I'd be happy to pick you up from Carmarthen/Swansea. Then you can distinguish between the gold and yellow rocks in Pembrokeshire. I'd love for you to come over here and even just chill out for a bit.
    BTW, I'm a Northern Irish lass and there's just something about Pembs that draws me back here (I lived in Pembroke Dock for 3.5yrs, before we moved back to Northern Ireland for 11yrs, and moved back here).
    There's no reason to worry about driving as we drive on the same side as you do in Australia (on the left-hand side). Just to say that you can stay with us and come and go as you please. If you're going gold panning, I hope you'll invite me with you (I'll have the dogs out beforehand, or they can come out with us up the Preselli's).

    i live in gold country and i take my land rover out on these crazy dirt roads when im bored and ive found some really remote creeks by former mining towns. this seems like a good way to get value out of areas that rarely ever get foot traffic. id just be afraid of bigfoot

    Good Going Chris! I've just started watching your videos and have noticed the struggle you have with the the black sand separation process. I'll Agee its easy to accumulate the gold in the black sand. I'd like to make a point about how we always arrive at two basic elements in the pan. At this point do you separate the sand from the gold or do you separate the gold from the sand ? I'm sure you know the specific gravity of each. Something I've learned over the years is that when you get to the two in your pan it's time to steer the gold, not the sand. Gold will walk up a very steep hill compared to sand. I would like to show you a paning method that makes the fear of black sand a fun challenge. Cheers!

    Never panned before. Wanting to get started. Even your sarcasm in the beginning gets it. Lot of other videos I've watched don't cover the simplest basics that you just did.
    "Here's the gold, pan it out". That's their basic explanation.
    Where'd you get your sloush box? (Yeah I probably misspelled that, lol). Like your sense of humor.
    Keep it up.

    Thank You, went panning for the first time of my life yesterday only for 2 hours, didn’t find gold, but I have a great time. I find probably one of the good reason why in your video (and I watch others) - The hint was to find a place with a concentration of big rocks and gravel together. I wonder if you have a concentration of bigger rocks if you can find bigger gold between? Need to experiment and learn, I Love it!

    Took my very first sample ever, which basically just meant shoveling 3 scoops of gravel and dirt into my bag and washing it at home. I did *not* expect to actually find anything. First ever pan, first ever spec of gold. Hooked.
