Happened to be in the Black Hawk area today when your video dropped!! Had to run up and see if I was the lucky one! Low and behold I was! Found the bag right where you left it. Thanks!! Love the videos! If you're ever up in the Black Hawk area let me know I'd love to meet up!!
Hey congrats and enjoy that bag 👍⛏⛏
@Klesh Will do thanks again!
@@rangerideroutdoors9173 Now you have to come back and let us all know what it weighed! That would be awesome if it just happened to be a bonus bag too!
That's cool, congratulations.
Beautiful river, wish I was there, bonus gold
After watching the hard work that goes into mining and extracting precious metals like gold, I understand why my old man always said that the stock market is the closest man has gotten yet to alchemy. Creating stupendous amounts of money out of thin air. Humanity always wanted it easy lol!
Hahaha. Very true. The big brains behind that money machine sure do know how they did it.
Not so fast. I have done my fair bit of prospecting in there. Lost over $30,000. I can conclusively say that it didn’t PAN OUT well for me :)
She’s as personal as it can get. Worked in Merrill Lynch and manages individual portfolios. She’s the best bet if you are looking for something personal. I can't drop her number here but she has a publicly available website where you can reach her
It’s simple like this
Using the gold standard: GOLD = MONEY
After exiting the gold standard: PAPER = MONEY
Almost right..they aren't creating money. They're creating paper that they claim is money. Real money is Gold, Silver, Bitcoin and other commodities valuable for trade. The Fiat garbage they print to infinity is continually becoming more and more worthless every day. That's why it's important to have MONEY thanks for the comment!
Thanks for taking us on your adventure. You was smart not gambling with that current, never underestimate the power of water.
Puppy and the sunny outdoors, exactly what I needed.
🥶 Freezing here.
Nice to see you back out on the river again! What a beautiful location.
Good luck looks like a beautiful area keep up your videos
Police officer since 06
Positive vibes from little Rhode Island.
Love the paydirt weekly sub. Brother
We have gotten tons of rain too. Good for the Chanterelle mushrooms
For beautiful views, decent prospecting, and amazing trout fishing, try Cheesman Canyon. My absolute go-to spot for a day trip out of the Springs.
Good to see ya outside panning again , going to attempt panning .... I hope this year ... 🪙
Glad to see a new video with you out digging for gold. Been a hot minute.
Last week and this week, two gold prospecting videos
Good morning Shane
I love your content man it's awesome very entertaining and educational, Rollinsville is a very beautiful place, I stayed there for a couple weeks at my friend's Tod and Johnny's cabin
Great day out fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Thx for sharing your adventure Shane! Nice day on a pretty river with great access..
I always enjoy watching these videos 👍
Just got our first bags in the mail 😁👍🏻. Will let you know how it goes.
Brother!! You need to remain vigilant when in the outdoors. We can see you let your guard down at 4:21 and almost get mauled by a large brown bear!!! LMAO looks like yall had fun.
The dog is a big help, he does alert me when people are nearby and if any large cats don't eat him first, he will bark
thats awesome thank you so much for sharing this information and adventure.
Beautiful mountain creek! Great job! Very entertaining!!!
Nice day at the river. Looks fun
Good show! You got gold!! Most people don't! Like that sluice box.
And you got a lot of gold.
That quartz rock in the center of your video. The one in the video where you had a bucket on each side of it. Dig around that and pick it up out of the way.
I'll bet there is gold right in the middle of that quartz, and other rocks.
Same spot you were digging, get under that big quartz Boulder, she'll be loaded
Those 2 earthworms waking up in the morning:
Jim: Lets go eat some dirt and process it into organic material
Sharon: But what if Klesh is out digging? maybe we should stay inside
Jim: Klesh? ha no way, he only does house renovation and guitar build videos these days
Klesh: Well hey there you two little earthworms in my pan :D
😆 🪱
Excellent video. Totally enjoyed it.
You are so lucky to live where you do, the view was amazing!!
love you're videos man..... all of them!
That was alot of fun to watch ✌🤠✌ Thanks for sharing
Nice Shane! Love that area for the pure beauty and drive. There is some great gold up in that area due north a little bit further. I will be back this fall in Denver for good, let’s get together and have an adventure 🇺🇸 all the best man
Enjoy it? You're damn Skippy I enjoyed this video, Shane. I got a half-hour 'in the wild,' vicariously through you!!
Wow, good color nice job!!
Awesome to see you out in the field man! 🍻
Hiding paydirt, gotta love it 😊😊😊
Thanks for today's adventure!
woow nice one
but its not only the gold you find, you hade good weather and you came out and do something ;)
awesome video ;)
I had fun watching!
I went out there today and got some pay. I looked where you stashed the bag and it was gone. Looks like someone got lucky! 😁
Happy to see you back on the river Shane 👍😋
Hey Klesh! I just got 2 gold blast pay dirt bags from your website. First time buyer on your website. I did buy 2 of the same from Amazon but not doing that again. Going to the source this time lol.
Nice! Great experience, thanks for sharing 💪🏻
Like the old stuff but I love the new adventures
great gold ✌🏼🤙🏼
The reddish brown color in the cons was the rust from drying in your metal pan
Great job brother enjoyed the creek with you.
This is fantastic.
Great video . I have driven that road many times to go to Yankee Doodle to fish, but never thought about panning. Guess a road trip is in mt future .
I'm sure Timber had a blast too. ❤
Enjoyed it again! 💥
I’m gonna have to order a bag , keep the awesome content coming 🙌🏼
Beautiful place
Would love to do this. Not much beyond dust where i live. That tiny piece of flower gold you found is about the biggest i have seen here. 6- 10 pieces like that in a bucket. Oh well beats a blank and the search continues.
Great job Shane nice day at the water
When I get down to the small stuff I use a chunk of window screen to make it easier.
Great video!!!
Klesh really like this video I like your helper I used to have a red one miniature Doberman and I had three black miniatures at one time when they all three went to barking and you couldn't hear nothing makes me happy thinking about them I got a big old bulldog now and her name is special she likes to ride with me everywhere I go I used to take her to the lake and down to the creek behind my uncle's house in Emerson Georgia the name of the creek is pumpkin Vine creek there's a little bit of gold in it he had 10 acres on it and he was renting it to the prospector's association in the 80s but he had problems doing that because they was going over the line of the property and getting on the neighbor's land and digging holes and messing up the creek Bank but put little buddy in your summertime prospecting videos whenever you can I like seeing him ✌️🙂👍
Will do! 🐕
Cool home town cañon mentioned
"...that's just a hunk of quartz." [fling]...(pachink)...classic!
Great video man
Love the gold prospecting. Wish instead of going to college became a gold miner. I did take a lot of chemistry (although I sucked at it) so maybe I could of worked assaying. 😅. I buy paydirt pretend to go out and mow the lawn and end up panning. 😊
Fluid bed sluices need a bit more flow. Test with a round stone about size of quarter. If it travels the length and out in about one second, then flow should be good.
Krusty Rusty is looking good!
When you threw that piece out, it sounded like someone spit into a spittoon. Lol. I think it was around the 31:10 mark.
cool video with timber ... awesome scenery and finding gold .... what more could you ask for in life ? keep up the good work, I still think you should do a gold panning video combined with a skydiving trip here in New Hampshire remember straight legs suck 🤪
I have done a New Hampshire episode but have not skydived there yet 👍
That looks like one of you better returns, especially considering four buckets. You should go back and run a ton of dirt and see what you get.
I'll have to hire somebody to dig more than that lol
98th! Nice, thanks for sharing, I've never been to Colorado to bad I'd like to go and find your gift
Awsome, a scavenger hunt! NICE
Fun video. What kind of doggo is Timber?
AKC registered Rat Terrier
Hes very handsome
Great stuff. Thanks. Subbed
Great video I've been wanting to do this here in Utah and looking at places online I just got to find where I want to go
You should!
Crusty rusty looking slick in his new coat 👌😅
Thank you for the awsome video. But 1 question. When you showed your gear.. and turned over the Garret pan.. on 1:03 it looked like you had a nugget in it and dropped it out hahah 😅😂
Love that video
Alright. Got plans for Saturday now lol.
nice new video !
Yes way to go
16:05 were you trollin? Did you go and save that rock to crush later? That was truly 'emotional damage'
Also was nice to see you in the field! Great video!
Nice video! Thanks for taking us along. Do you ever hear if very many of your other quarter gram bag stashes have been found?
BTW - I'd love to see a the results from a standard river sluice running the tailings of the fluid bed. From my experience with fluid bed separations, I'd expect the fluid bed to be very inefficient. You may have lost a lot of gold!
It would be impossible to know, but on the river, I'm able to run so much more material through the fluid bed sluice for two reasons, 1) the setup time for the fluid bed is almost zero. Just put in fast flowing water and start shoveling material in. Other sluices require a lot of time find tuning, when I could be using that time to be digging. 2) you don't have to stop feeding the fluid bed sluice, while with a regular sluice with a dream mat or VDR vortex, you can only scoop in a small amount at a time, wasting so much time.
Crusty Rusty is looking good.
That's a nice video
Awesome video. Im jealous you have a dog that you can trust like that to stay near you, especially by a river. My dog would totally just run away
Lots of training (walking many miles a day) off leash, it's against most park policies but i honestly don't care about policy.
@@Klesh
Agreed 🐺✅
@@Klesh The hunter in the forest must be able to trust his dog even without a leash
Nice!
Love your content. Keep up the solid work!
Quick question…how do you deal with lots of tiny pyrite floating with your concentrates?
Slower panning will move pyrite and leave the gold
pyrite is much lighter mate.what u mean.u have toi be afraid from magnetite ,rutile and other heavy dogs out there
Moffat tunnel been there many times.
"$2 for the whole day, I couldn't be happier"🤠
At 20:43 when you show the concentrates, is that what you bag up to ship out in bags?
exactly right
How does a metal dude, guitar maker, get into gold prospecting? Have u ever made a guitar with flower gold poly in the paint or nuggets in the fret board?
Made a live edge maple Burl top with a gold bearing river complete with water, black sands and gold once. Plenty of gems and minerals in fretboard inlay as well.
Nice 👍 😎
sungguh luar biasa kawanku, video yang sangat bagus kawanku, terimakasih telah berbagi video nya.salam dari Indonesia 🤝👍🇮🇩🔔🔔🙏🏻
Do you do the fishing thing at all Shane ?✌️ Napa California
Growing up I have , but just a bit too laid back for me.
If you run the Goldtrap a bit steeper, you won’t need to worry about it getting plugged up.
Hey Kevin thanks for that tip! Also thanks for showing me this location!!
After finding the bigger gold i sure hope you also classified the other stuff you did without classifying it down.
ha ha ...i saw the thumbnail and thought u were dan hurd lol
No I do not have my face in the thumbnail
Nice⛏️⛏️
Nice
Yep, horseflies are in full bloom now.
Do you need a permit to do what your doing in colorado or can just anyone go out and do it ?
It all depends on where you are. Some places are open to the public, many are not due to claims or private property. National parks are a No go as well.
Ya that means over the next couple years plenty of gold in rivers!
I would Judge from the color of that First Shot that someone knows the way of OLDSCHOOL PROSPECTING ! Back in the Day Miners would salt the rivers with SHOT at High Water ! When the water dropped they would concentrate on the areas where they found the shot !
Where did you get your thigh waders at? Im having trouble finding my size.
Sportsman warehouse i think it's called, up north of denver. They suck though, they leak and I had to patch them many times.
How do you season your pans?

In the middle of nowhere, your next to the road in clear creek😂
No, this video is on south Boulder creek outside of Rollinsville about 2 hours from denver. You're thinking of clear creek/Arapaho bar which is in the middle of wheat ridge.
