Looks like you enjoy it, good job on the video, liked the funny.movie clips and humor, I am from southern MN never thought there would be pannable gold in MN. Interesting to see you found some, good job !
Can’t wait for more videos!!! I already learned quite a bit. My coworker was telling me about gold panning a while ago .. so I’m happy your video showed up in my feed. It got me excited to try it out sometime!!!! :) :)
I enjoyed your personality. Im from central Minnesota and people think im ceazy for gold digging in this state. Yoou are upbest, practical and have a refreshing srnse if humor.
@@GlacialGoldHunter If you like hunting for gold, you would probably like Hunting for Yooperlites. I just took a trip with my kids and they had a blast. Check it out!
I'm in Indiana but have 2 sisters in Minneapolis and 3 years ago did sum panning there and didn't find up there,grew up in Duluth and moved down here in 1977 and graduated my seen your year
Nice job of finding that flour gold. Maybe 2 bucks worth of gold but.....$10,000 worth of fun. And...that's what it's all about...having fun. Love your channel.
I seen your forever vile on your video and I thought wow that was a good take for wherever you went. Not realizing that was probably after a few trips are ready. Have you checked any creeks running through the end moraines up there? Minnesota is too far away for me to research. I have looked into areas up there. I always thought Minnesota would really be good.
Another GREAT place is go find a gravel pit and ask for permission. They have done the hard work for you by digging deep. I have found really good gold in our area up here.
Best tool you had was two cans of OFF. As far as the rules go they are a bunch of buggers themselves. The lawmakers should be out there all winter melting ice to prevent it from disturbing the soil.
Am I dumb or are your mats backwards? I would think you would want the spines of the divots to be receiving the flow of the water so that it rolls over them and creates vortices inside each divot, instead of running through the opening of the divots, then hitting the spine and just swirling horizontally
Have you ever read the history of gold prospecting on the cannon river? There was a gold rush back in the 1800's and there is still a decent amount to find.
If glaciers deposited gold into Minnesota's geologic nooks and crannies back in the day, then (thinking on a grand scale) might there be big chunks dropped up in the boundary waters and lakes regions? Like underwater? Would it make sense to dive for gold? Could the natural and limestone cave formations found in some places act as giant sluices? Thank you for your channel, interesting.
There is gold there but it’s not big gold so it’s probably not worth diving for. Not all gold deposits form big nuggets but there were and are producing gold mines in Ontario. At one time there was a gold rush around lake vermillion and rainy lake. It never produced much though.
That wrapper said copyrighted 2018. So that doesn't mean it's been there since then but still, fun watch! I might go out and about some time to track down spots. Looks peaceful.
It’s hard because growing up in Saint Paul along the West Side in onto lily dale and pickerel I just seen too much fools gold so I questioned if we had real gold so thank you for the insight
Grand Rapids Minnesota here. I have a pen set and a grader just like yours. I don't own a sluice box but I've been trying to get to the bottom of this crap myself
The wire isn't coated with plastic it's vinal. They started using that late 40s mainstream by 1950. Did they use plastic every house in the county would be burned down.
Sweet crick tho right in the metro area that's cool could here traffic on ur video. There's probably a hundred of them down there I just never pay attention when I'm there.
I know this isn't a money making venture for you, You're doing it for fun and adventure. But non the less, I'm wondering how much that days intake might have weighed. How much is it worth by that days gold value?
I want everyone who watches this to know, you cannot go to any stream in Minnesota to pan. You also CANNOT pan material that isn't under water. Taking from the bank like this is not allowed, per my emails with DNR: "Removing material from stream or river banks for gold panning is not allowed, due to erosion concerns and the disturbance to the natural river processes that shape the stream path, streambank size, and connection to flood plain. And when streams and rivers have bedrock or large boulders along their banks, the nooks and crannies that might trap gold and other heavy minerals are also a unique microhabitat to many important critters in the stream ecosystem." You also cannot pan any river. It must be Minnesota State land that isn't a state park. You *can* pan other rivers with permission from the land owner, but this doesn't seem like a legal location if I'm being honest. Also I can confirm that even a SMALL box is illegal. If you gold pan on private land, you CAN use a box, but only if none of the water reaches any source of river, and isnt a commercial operation. You cannot sell any gold you collect in Minnesota. I do applaud the effort of filling your holes, that is a good thing to do.
@@GlacialGoldHunter I understand your reasoning, but if it isn't currently under water you cannot do it. I was disappointed when I talked to DNR about it
@GlacialGoldHunter Your video was so very accurate as to central MN, I have cheated by digging low pressure areas in front of concrete slabs dumped on the bed of the Mississippi, there the specks are about 3 to 5 times better than what you caught, yet only worth the fun of finding anything, lol. The Pike River up by Embarrass-Biwabick or more south with the Zumbro river and you will find more.
They word the laws/rules in mn like they’re writing clues for the mn winter carnival medallion hunt, and when you email them to get a straight answer you get another riddle as an answer
If you can get down to the bed rock that's where the most gold will be found and you should not just toss your largest stuff mn. Has lots of different gem stones including diamonds so look a bit closer my friend
Love your channel. I really like seeing a fellow Minnesotan doing something interesting on this platform. Thanks for the video’s!❤
As a minnesotan, and investigator, I will use my skills to locate said creek.
Haha. I would be impressed!
It's either Bassett Creek or minihaha Creek. Either way, both would be good spots because of how they flood and bend creating those sand bars.
@@GlacialGoldHunter You nodded towards Parkview Apartments.
@@dcmirk It's neither of those. As he said, it's a suburb, I live in said suburb and recognize the parking lot, signs, fence, etc.

I have heard the Zumbro river has a little gold in it.
I’ve heard that as well but have never checked it out.
Great Job .....Awesome video! You put in a lot of work! well done
Much appreciated!
You can find amethyst up on Paradise Beach on the North Shore. I bet there's more glacial gold up there, and Wisconsin shore.
I will have to look.
Great job getting that Au fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Thank you!
Basically there is gold everywhere in North America. Look for twisty rocky river beds. Just like where you are. Thumb 👍
Been trying to find it in northern Wisconsin. Not having much luck. Most of the rivers are choked with sand.
I try to carry a pan every time I go trout fishing; that's a great video!
That’s a great idea!
This is wonderful!
You are wonderful for watching!

😆 I thought the same the first time I looked at the mats.
@@GlacialGoldHunterthose mats were in correct 👍🏻
I love this so much that I cried in spiritual ecstasy.
Wow!
Im from mn and its usually ok to pan unless its a state park
Awesome video new sub hello from North Dakota
@@GraywolfStacker hello! Any gold in North Dakota?
@@GlacialGoldHunter they say in Pembina gorge closer to red river nd and Minnesota border
@@GraywolfStacker I’m suppose to go to a wedding in grand forks so maybe I’ll have to pack my gold pan.
How much of the gold would you actually be able to keep or sell in Minnesota since they retain mineral tights?
Can’t sell it but It’s just recreational panning so is legal. I’m not sure what the limit is but I know I’ll never get close to the limit.
Where is this? I wanna run here. It looks like a great place to run around
The cities has a lot of nice places to run. This place wouldn’t be good though because you might trip on the fallen trees.
Have you ever read the history of gold prospecting on the cannon river? There was a gold rush back in the 1800's and there is still a decent amount to find.
No I have never heard of that one. I’ll have to do some reading!
There was also a commercial operation in Oronoco. The Zumbro river I believe.
@GlacialGoldHunter and by decent I mean small specks like you have been finding
If glaciers deposited gold into Minnesota's geologic nooks and crannies back in the day, then (thinking on a grand scale) might there be big chunks dropped up in the boundary waters and lakes regions?

I guess that's as much disturbing as swimming.

“Edward shovel feet” 😂

Maybe more recent deposition but no older than 2018 at least. A lot more recent than I assumed.
Let's goooo brother I live in St Paul MN I'm definitely going to do some education
Howdy from Robbinsdale!
Howdy!
Great job.
It’s hard because growing up in Saint Paul along the West Side in onto lily dale and pickerel I just seen too much fools gold so I questioned if we had real gold so thank you for the insight
If there is enough to see randomly it’s probably mica or pyrite. But if you pan for it it’s pretty easy to identify the gold and black sand.
Grand Rapids Minnesota here. I have a pen set and a grader just like yours. I don't own a sluice box but I've been trying to get to the bottom of this crap myself
You should be able to find some gold up there.
Is fun worth it 💯% best comment I've heard on youtube.
Thought this was hidden valley in savage at first.. I've drank down there lots. Always wanted to pan in the creek
Grab a pan and give it a try!
You can tell he’s truly in MN because he brought 2 cans of bug spray
Sweet - good hunting
🙏🏼
Pretty good for a place that supposedly doesn’t have gold
All the years I could have been collecting gold and I didn’t even know it was there.
how do you know your not losing gold while rinsing out the green dish? at least wrap a mesh screen around it to campture gold that your losing
The gold is at the bottom.
I would think that it being on the Mississippi river where it would flood produce some gold in places
Oh yes. My next video will be from panning the Mississippi.
Great stuff
Very interesting... too bad there's not very much gold.. but, looks fun.
It’s fun even if there isn’t much there.
Thanks 👍
You already scared off 99.99% of people with that shovel.
😆 I bet.
awesome sauce video
Thanks for watching!
One day you will find a nugget and it will be so exciting
That’s the hope!
Looking for gold in Nike slides…. What a country.
You know he from up north when his scoop is top the tater
Minnesota crack. 😆
I’m up north and have always wondered if there could be gold in the rivers……suppose they would frown on me digging up the headwaters 🤷♀️
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 can’t dig in a state park but you can pan on public land.

Rice creek in Fridley.
I looked there and I didn’t find any.

This looked a lot like a creek that has a 9 in it.
You are quite observant.
Where is that? I live in Roseville. I want get some Gold!
It almost looks like he is at Minnehaha
Find a river and start panning! It’s all along the Mississippi too.
soon as it got out that mn point had flour gold the dunes are getting eaten away and the black sand is left in piles if you can find it
Oh that’s interesting I’ve been up there a lot but never saw anyone prospecting there.
@@GlacialGoldHunter he has a youtube page
I know this isn't a money making venture for you, You're doing it for fun and adventure. But non the less, I'm wondering how much that days intake might have weighed. How much is it worth by that days gold value?
Hard to say without a scale but I’d guess like $4 worth. The gold is so thin and flat you can’t even feel it on the pan.
I want everyone who watches this to know, you cannot go to any stream in Minnesota to pan. You also CANNOT pan material that isn't under water. Taking from the bank like this is not allowed, per my emails with DNR: "Removing material from stream or river banks for gold panning is not allowed, due to erosion concerns and the disturbance to the natural river processes that shape the stream path, streambank size, and connection to flood plain.

Just gotta grab a pan and try.

@GlacialGoldHunter you should try by Danbury where st croix and I think yellow river meet
I know exactly where that is based off the first seconds of the video
I've been there hundreds of times
So you are the guy that has been digging my claim
😆 I guess so.
A perfect way to spend a day off but still on my adderall
It’s a great day off.
Even with a dredge you’re putting everything back where it came from except the heavy metals it’s not polluting habitat
Hence why law writers are….

I used to get gold like that at the log chute in mall of America. Anyone else?
😆 I should bring my pan next time I’m there.
Yes, I did that. I lost my gold though 😢
Always find gold in the Mississippi and a days hobby nets me an average of $3.48 per day
Wow that’s better than I have done in the Mississippi. I doing a video now where I took 100 pans to see how much I got.
