I said to my Gran last year im going to find enough Gold to make her a ring... I Did find Gold in a river not supposed to have any but not near enough - so any new tips welcome bro. She's nearly 80 n since on Oxygen at home. All the Best.
@northernpickers I keep meaning to get out in the wild in streams ect but where we live there's nothing I'm from doncaster been told to go to lakes or Scotland ect
@@northernpickerscan u answer me a question buddy .. if there 3 rivers all joined together and u kno 1 definitely has gold will the other 2 Rivers have gold ??
Epic adventure, what an awesome spot. With little main man on point, no worries on the prospects mate. I really love this spot. So peaceful, so verdant, so goddamn ancient and cool for Scotland. What a privilege to find that honey hole. Im buzzin Lewis. I feel your joy. Great work. Keep working the magic and enjoy the trip and the buzz mate.
Unbelievably Heavy Pans Fantastic, Great work my friend, Happy Days 😊 I have not seen anyone get that kind of Gold in Ever AMAZING, Great Video I was just as excited as you were seeing that Gold 😀
Hi, what a lovely spot. 😳. Well done. Im new to the "hobby" 😂 i mean obsession. Tried Cornwall a couple of times and got some flour and crumbs. Off to wales this weekend. 🤞.
Well done lewis you must have hit a super lucky spot mate I've been up and down that burn quite a few times and all I found was a lot of that white stuff and not even a speck of gold.... well done
Amazing location! MineLab do a great little fold up waterproof metal detector. That and a pinpointing detector I reckon you will find sooo much not visible to the eye on the walls and crevices. You've gained a follow from me.. (a Southey wishing he was up north panning!)
That was great. Don't think i'd let it out where i found it, otherwise the next time down there it'll look like the old-timers were there. They wouldn't leave a stone unturned. 🙂
Well done bud u smashed it the day. I thought u were gonna fall over when u revealed that first pan.👍 u hit the jackpot with that 1. Good idea to tie a rope off to a tree can really help getting up and down those steep hills especially at the end of the day 🤣 quite handy to get to some places u can't normally get without going 2 mad. 🤣👍Well done bud.⚒🏴

Hi that is every ones dream streem so good .have you been back there and keeping low profile i really did not know that this was posible now days in scotland very nice.also i think your in with a very good chance of finding bigger nugets with a detector
Hi Buddy your correct, me and a few team members have been back! with some great results, best other day was 8.3g and a friend has had 18g! in a day. its that hard to get too and floods out with minimal rain ! and its been 8 months of rain around there. we had no chance to make a show. once were happy that its been covered i will be making some shows up there! also i have a minelab go find 44 which is ok! but my right hand man has a garret gold pro with mini diving head! and the many wind turbines in the area send them both crazy! even going off pointing them in the sky!
@@northernpickers thats great im thinking a more basic old fashiond detector may not suffer with same problems itl be less sensative but if theres a lump of thets say 15 40 g u will get it i do prospecting in bolivia and getting there on foot can take several days hiking with all on ones back so apreciate that place i cant take a maneman or he would become maine meale for the jaguars.liked the video verry much lucky sod good luck
Hey NP 👋 What a great place to suck the honey out of the hole. Dang my friend you nailed it. Not easy to top the result in future but who knows. Thankx for sharing my friend. Greetings 👍
@@northernpickers yep fully agree with you, shame though people can’t be trusted af all nowadays…and that’s a haul like I’ve not seen great work!! I’m off up there for a few days next week, I go where I think no one’s been preferably off piste but I’ve not struck yet, only three small specs from wales so far! But it’s only 3rd season panning so just getting a bit of a grasp of it, and the tools.
Question for ya i live in scotland and theres a burn thats coming off the main river irivne should i try the channel off it or come down a bit from it theres plenty of bedrock and bits were like the land has slid
Hey buddy LOVING THE VIDEOS! What maps do you use? Im not a prospector but im interested in geology. What do you look for when looking at geological maps?
Thanks buddy! ive been checking fault lines mainly! basalt layers are producing some good areas too! but the gold can end up anywhere, and have to get out on location to do lots of testers. good luck buddy,,,
Im Red Rose county buddy and have prospected many times in our areas, with only minimal to show for!!! its defo best goin up to scotland, Leadhills is a good start!
no worries buddy, the pump's are made by JT Gold panning supplies, there great, work really well and are light weight here's a link mate,, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123700326830?hash=item1ccd1d31ae:g:kGEAAOSwhkFgPh9E&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoMDTqqTJOM%2BsREZC10icvSambGHvI1%2BYPcxe4bImpmWk7NOFcHDybUEtImd7vmpfCnhAuauTpUaiypGAMdFcKG9vr3fd%2FMCKjKNuNArajSg3UxO4zeSo7EDn%2BNjUUOf17XM8qpwx1z82%2FhiSeNQGa2eHcYjeHM0ccuW3vPrcPbZhyMrS3W4h1LTYQw%2FgcW6Y8rFEROVd%2FYbtCmZlEv%2FyPnI%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5yAtojgYA
Thanks mate sorry I didn't see your reply yeah those pumps are trick looking and hands down beat a aussie stainless yabby pump that i usually use its hopeless sometimes getting through the gravels quickly
Hi. stumbled across your vid in search of an answer as to whether you/I can legally take gold you find by the means of panning in Scotland? I would like to have a go at panning myself mostly for fun but I'm not so sure if it's legal or not to take what you find. As far as I can understand all gold and silver in Scotland is owned by Crown-Estate Scotland. I've read the info they provide on their site but cant really come to a straight answer?
hi james, it all depends if you have the land owners permission! a lot of areas have a permit system, like leadhills estate and tyndrum town council,, hope this helps buddy
Wow, unbelievable indeed. I've been prospecting for like 8-10 years, own 2 gold claims and never gotten that kind of gold. And I've been working dirt from Georgia to Idaho, here in America. You started out 2 years ago only finding flour gold and now, no flour at all, just nuggets and pickers in just 2-3 pans. I guess it's time to quit your day job and become a full time miner...
@@northernpickersback out next month on the hunt just hitting Tyndrum again few spots along the crom but next trip after that will definitely be back out on the hunt testing some new spots💨
Lol. Good one. And this stream has been overlooked in a thousand years of prospecting all over Scotland. Hahaha.
have had many better days pete! and when the time is right i will show you buddy! nice 1
Ive been buying Scottish paydirt off ebay and amazon for years. Its there and will be forever due to erosion and rain 👍.
Had to come back and watch this one again! The reward was well worth the extra walk! Well done!
had a few days on here, wish i had took extra batteries or would of shown the whole day!!!
Just amazing fam. Nice au indeed fam. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream. Your doing great work fam 🤠. Gold Squad Out!!!

Wow nice one 👍
Would you ever like too like design ur own mat or make a mat with all different designs

All ways wantes to get in to this is it illegal to sell the gold i find 😂 or do i have to declare it ti the state or just dont tell any one lol
lol, if you make a ring and get it hallmarked its legal tender!

Long time no see,hope everything is ok Lewis.
Thanks buddy, all is ok, just been busy with work and catching up with jobs! have a few vids in the pipeline!

Can you sell the gold you find or do you need permission or licence?
you could if you wanted! but legally gold has to be hallmarked & paid its due's! Jewelry is a better option and more rewarding !

Why don't you go back to that location all the time? You'd be loaded in no time
have been back a few times and friends too! but its a days trek and very patchy on the gold. have had two good days out of 10 trips!
You could hammock camp between two trees and do a multi-dayer probably, I think you'd proper zone into the gold in that time
