My great grampa did this for a living he would send us nuggets of gold every time a new grandchild was born so we can make a custom necklace or bracelet for them. Miss him so much.
My grandfather was really into panning for gold too. He had all kinds of tools including a metal detector. Even named his golden retriever Nugget and we have him now that he passed away. He was a good man and great grandfather to me. RIP to both our grandfathers.
i mean this dude isnt even panning right , pans are for finding the smallest powder like gold, every shot of his pan shows way to much dirt still in it to actually see that gold. hes losing alot of it
Not really tbh... If we divide the amount of money he made for how many hours he did (absolute most) we would get 100÷72 which would be eoughly 1.39 an hour. The Federal Minumum wage for the United States is $7.25 an hour for the average 40 hours a week and 10 hours a day, it would equal $290 a week. If we do the same for this guy of 10 hours a day for 3 days straight, we would get roughly $3.33 an hour. Even if we add the extra 4 dollars from 100, it would only increase like 5 cents off of my number. Thats $3.92 less than the minimum wage, so no, it was not worth it no matter how you put it unless it was one hour a day for 3 days lol.

I’m glad you found a experienced prospector to give you some tips. Im from BC and have been panning with my mum since I was a little boy, she was taught by her dad who was taught by his. A tip from me is If you go panning again check when there was last a flood/heavy rain, and use your prior pan spots as a gauge. When the heavy rain washes out the creek there will be specific bed rock bends that will refill with gold from wherever the ore is being washed down from. Use the bends as a gauge to see how much gold is being washed out and where it’s being washed from, and after 10-15 visits you might be able to find a jackpot. It’s just about knowing the body of water you’re working.

@@TheThe-om3qt it's not gambling, it's just scavenging. Sure you can put money into and and try to make the process more efficient, but otherwise once you've got a sift and a pan with a river nearby, you're set.
Why? It's not like the valuable part is the gold. It's the hard work and dedication. The gold comes and goes with the currents. And it's always better to have people grateful to you that are also as good or better at your job than you are. Remember no man rules alone.
Alot of the info I've gotten from old heads is because they cant access the spots anymore. Believe they will and do find gold but usually they pass knowledge so it doesn't die with them and get lost forever. And hopefully someone can benefit if they put in the work for it.
Work for 8 hours a day * 3 days is 24 hours of work, so you’d be making around $4 an hour. But since he didn’t know where to look on the first day it’s probably a small bit higher
Ngl this is obviously a bad idea but I love how he can put 3 days worth of work into a TH-cam short and other people use 3 parts to answer one question
Props to the man for really showing him where the gold is more. Usually guys who knows their shit sends people the wrong way inorder to have more for themselves.

We used to gold pan in rivers near our place in Alaska. We always found at least color but when bored we would use the gold pans for sleds just sitting in them in the avalanche areas as they were all packed snow all summer. Dangerous but really fun!
My dad used to pan for gold as a hobby and he'd actually make decent money off it bc he would know where to look. For just a hobby it does kinda pay off bc you get to spend time outdoors and connect w nature for a while and make money if you wanted
That guy he met out there is a real one! My dad always stops to talk to people on trails especially if they look like they are rockhounding, mining, or trekking far. We are surprised once in a blue moon meeting people like this who know the area like the back of their hand and can tell us local geological or anthropological history that isnt online or in educational texts. We have personally found pioneer wagon wheels and wooden coins in places nobody should have ever been! The goal is never to find something worth money, but to find something worth remembering, and hopefully have a story to tell others.
You have to start somewhere! I’ve made a lot more than this is 3 days! But he has simple equipment just hands and pans.He doesn’t even have a sluice.he’s not on bedrock and he doesn’t have a detector.if he had a gold cube and trommel he could’ve moved some yards in one day.For his knowledge and just having some classifiers,a pan and a shovel.He actually did great!

Here we have an honest YT creator, a rare thing. And a hard worker too, also rare, like gold. Did he make too little? No. Panning just shows you where to use your sluice. Right spot + sluicing = 10x more production.

You sell it directly to the consumer or put it in dirt and sell paydirt. You can get 24k spot or more that way. Nuggets will always sell for more then 24k spot regardless of the purity.
Near the white bridge before the parking lot this the location of old Eldoradoville, I found a cornflake... The big gold is in the narrows, but, it is six feet deep. Good luck and be careful out there.
