- Today I came across a fantastic crevice with over 4 grams of Gold. Sniping for gold, or diving for gold is where you put your wet suit on and use a snorkel and mask to find the gold under the water where it rests with your own eyes. Having watched Gold Rush White Water on the TV I decided to have a go at making my own video of A Gold Rush UK White Water episode.

Thanks for taking us along.
Cheers , everyone's welcome to follow me on this channel.
Awesome video, really well made, great to see Wales and Welsh gold! keep it up!
Cheers Jason, This is a stunning place to visit
Really enjoyed watching your video. Learning about panning for gold.
Thanks for the comments and feedback Kathy. It is over here in the UK. You've just got to get out n' find it. Stay tuned for a 3 part special comming very soon.
Great video, my favourites. Thanks
Thanks Tim , stay tuned for more buddy.
What a haul, congrats. There's just something about sniping that's so rewarding
This was a special day for me. It started off a bit slow but then the crevice just kept giving. Thanks for watching.
That’s a great day on the gold. Fantastic work my friend. 👌
It took a while to find this spot but boy oh boy what a great find, thanks for watching.
OMG, that looks absolutely awesome. At this stage, I'm more interested in panning rather than sniping, as I've got a fairly strong aversion to immersion in cold Welsh rivers having spent some years as an outdoor activity instructor LOL. My equipment arrived today, so I just need to build my sluice and I'm ready to go once I've got some more holiday time from work to use. I can see this being a really mentally rewarding activity especially being a former addict, I can really see myself getting hooked in the hunt for gold! I KNOW that I'm never going to make money from it (Expecting to lose quite a lot taking travel costs into account), but money just isn't the point of it anyway! Roll on the warmer weather :D
When I started this hobby a few years ago, I didn't even believe that there was any gold in the UK and I often refer to it as the journey it takes you on.
Best of luck with your journey buddy and keep me informed of how you get on.
All the best MrDazP1
Amazing mate , thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for the kind words Richie, it was a fab session at the river.
Bazzing video Daz..great underwater shots..
I spent a long time in the river finding nothing on this day and was starting to get cold and then I found this pocket. There were other prospectors nearby so I couldn't leave until I knew I had cleaned this spot up .
Another Great video. I enjoy them all the way over here in the USA!
Thank you so much for dropping by on my channel. I can't compete with the big channels for the gold count but I try to tell the story as it happens .
Yessss new video. Well you know what I mean. Great vid
Thank you for taking the time to watch the video Paul.
Mate luv the crowbar cam excellent vid ive been prospecting 20 years just did my 2nd sniping trip totally hooked on its tranquility ,fun and results .good job mate look forward to some more vids from you cheers from Tasmania
Thanks for dropping by on my channel Tazy T. I am relatively new to this hobby but love the sniping part of it. Seeing the gold with your own eyes is something else.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yeah it just pops out even in murky water mate I'll be checking out ya other vids shortly hope you enjoy some of mine have fun mate cheers
@@tazyt3388 Yes I will drop by on yas and give you a sub, cheers buddy.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thanks mate hope your amused I build many things go many places and just have fun as we all should cheers
@@tazyt3388 No worries , I am just editing some bike riding clips and as soon as I'm done I will be having visit to your channel.
Great video, I didn't realize there was such nice gold to be found in Wales. I am looking forward to summer returning to Aussie land so I can get back in the water, sniping sure is fun. Good luck !
Yes, there is gold over here, hard to believe but I reckon there is a lot more than is reported. The Romans never came all this way for the rain and nice views. I am new to this hobby and still learning. Thanks for the comments.
Have you never heard of welsh gold? Apart from extremely long worded names for places and the stigma of acts upon farm animals its all wales is really known for 😂😂
Yes the sheep are pretty good in Wales, they tend to be clean from all the rain. Best of luck with the sniping back in Australia buddy
@@jigzonyt517and coal, and lead, and copper, and zinc…
Been following you a while mate, its Covid-19 now and if it weren't for these video's I'd probably have gone stirr crazy.
Hey thanks Julian, I must admit I am missing the free option of thinking I'll go to the river today or when ever. It's just not possible at the moment. It's nice to look back at the videos and dream of the day when we get the green light again. Cheers buddy,
Great video Daz, what a day that must’ve been 🙌
It reminded me of some your adventures where you can spend what seems like an eternity searching for that elusive spec, often sifting the gravels in hope for another ...
On this day I was getting the point where I was knackered, cold and about to call it day, and then the crevice started to give a little. The water changed colour to an inky black as I scrapped away an then, Boom. The specs appeared and then the pickers appeared.
You don't feel cold and knackered then, believe me...
I just hope that you get an opportunity that comes your way NNA 👌
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures here’s hoping todays the day I hit a honey hole, there’s so much of my secret river to check out! I haven’t seen any previous workings which leads me to believe the chances of someone sniping this area before me are even slimmer. There might be another video next week… hoping to title it new personal best!
Felt like I was watching Lord of the Rings or something at the beginning. Great production!
Thanks for watching. I appreciate your feedback edacheb
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I like you and I want to do it too
Is it in every stream in every country?
@@aungthapyay1754 go for it buddy and have an adventure
Mr Dazp1 not sure why I have never seen this. Or maybe i saw the previous video but cannot remember. That's a beautiful haul pal so well done.. very chunky gold. 4.6grams of yum..🤤. This was an educational video and also very professional Mrdazp1 so 10/10. Look forward to more. Speak soon.
No worries buddy, the first upload was deemed to be a problem with a third party who took 2 videos down. Thanks for watching. BTW where's Stu's Highland Gold gone ?
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Its ashame you had lost so many view but with a vid like this you will soon make them back. I'm not too sure I've not seen him for a while but I did notice he had taken his channel down.
@@highlandminingltd1084if you see him pass on my regards, I was hoping to go up North and meet him this summer but have had a few personal issues to sort out. Maybe one day soon I'll get up there. Cheers pal.
Awesome session mate cracking yellow
Thanks 👍Gold adventurer, if only every day could be like this ...
I'm hooked! I absolutely love watching your videos, they are so exciting to watch! I would really like to have a go at panning for gold. What a way to get in touch with nature and have an adventure! Where would you suggest a complete novice to start? (I've been looking at buying a pan set but there are far too many to choose from!!) 🤔
Hello Trish and thanks for watching my videos . Check out the British Gold panning association for the most up to date information. I would look at www.goldpanningsupplies.co.uk/ for equipment. They also do courses up in Leadhills . You are not too far from Wales either which has some good gold too. It's a great hobby and I still class myself as a learner also. If you get a pan, practice panning with sand and small fishing weights. That way you will know how to find the heavies. Gold is heavier than a lot of other metals so always stays at the bottom of the pan. Well that's the idea lol. Thanks for asking about the hobby.
I would say north Wales inland from barmouth would be a good spot, someear near a biking centre
Can’t wait for the lakes viddy GL HH👍
The Lakes video was a great day out , we tried our best to find the gold . I will edit it soon .
Wowzers Go on Daz! what a good trip!
I had been at it for hours on this day and was about to give up, then hit that pocket. Days like this are few and far between. What a feeling though to see it like that !
Such a good vid! Amazing editing! Plan on doing a bit sniping this year, already got the location, got some tools, wetsuit, still to get goggles & snorkel, is there any more equipment you would recommend Daz 👌
Cheers pal, make sure you have some yellow tape with you to put on your pinch / pry bar and also some people put lead weights in their snuffer bottle so it stays in one place. I would advise that you get some knee pads and some wax ear plugs too. It's a cold affair but you get a sense of adventure mate.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thanks pal, never thought about ear plugs! I make snuffer holders from parachord so I might make up a lanyard to hold various things 😄
It's down to personal choice on the snuffer bottle, whether you want it to float and be tied to your belt or to sink to the bedrock with some weight in it. They also reckon that Johnson's baby shampoo can make a good mask cleaner and prevent it from fogging. I'd also wear gloves and a neoprene hood. When you start to scrape the old dirt from the crevices it has all kinds of chemicals and minerals etc in it.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thanks again Daz! Gloves & hood, check ✅ hopefully all the gold I find will help weight it down 🤣 wishful thinking. I think I would prefer it weighed down where I can see it too and minimum tools enough to fit in one hand!
Your awesome and inspiring 👍🏼🌈🧞♂️
Thanks for the comments Steve. I really appreciate them. This was a pretty good session but it didn't start out that way. I spent a good 3 hours scouring the bedrock before hitting that pocket and then the fun began .
What a great video Daz 👍🏻 hope I can get my edit skills close to yours, really enjoyed that! 🏔⚒🏴
Thank you so much for your comments there buddy. It's all part of the hobby and telling the story. Thanks for watching. Cheers.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures you’re welcome sir. It sure is! It was a whole different experience catching you’re finds on camera and sharing with the world. I bet you this vid caught the eye of a lot of prospectors from across the globe!!! Plz do head over to my chanel advice and criticism would go a long way 💙🏴⚒🤞
@@scotlandstreasure2543 Hello buddy, I am on way over now
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thanks a million Daz! Top fella
@@scotlandstreasure2543 Keep your videos coming pal.
Love your videos, have bought bags of paydirt and find it to be loads of fun, would love a few tips if you could eg best place to go for a first try etc. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more videos
Hello Stacy, I go to North Wales and have also been to a few places in Scotland. Wanlockhead is a good place to start because the rivers aren't fast flowing and as dangerous. Thanks for the feedback, It is very much appreciated.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thank you for replying, started to buy the paydirt for my kids but now I've just been doing it for myself haha. Your videos are great, I sit and watch them a lot ☺
@@stace8418 It's a good idea to get some small fishing weights and practice to pan with the good old dirt and sand also. That way when you get down to the river you are confident you know that if there is gold in that spot, you can find it. We might not find loads of gold over here in the UK
(Well that's me - personally speaking)but there are prospectors out there who really do find some cracking pieces.
Is the situation good or bad?That's what I want to do I will always w
Nice day prospecting, thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching JP
Your very welcome.
Great video
Amazing
Thanks for watching marc, Very much appreciated.
Where would you take gold that you have panned ? I think I’ve found a very good stream in Devon where I live but I like to know more about this kinda thing before I really go for it .
That's all down to personal choice, some people just like to collect it and then have specimen displays in wooden boxes. Some people sell it to jewlers and some have found enough to make wedding bands for them and their partner. Others have been known to put a guaranteed amount say 1gram in a bag of dirt and sell it for £50 to £70 as pay dirt.
I just enjoy filming the subject and sharing my adventures.
Do you ever use under water metal detectors? Got to have the gold fever to snipe gold, looks like a needle in a hay stack
Hello Ross, It's more like a game of hide and seek, where you look for the places where the gold likes to hide. Personally I do not use metal detectors under water. Some people dredge everything up which in the UK is not permitted but you are right it cam be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Reminds me of my triple root canal work.
Ha ha, nice one Steve. I take it you had a lot of gold crowns then.
very rare that stuff for me ..all the best daz .
I had been in the water for quite some time and was getting a bit cold, and then I found this pocket which was totally unexpected. Thanks for watching buddy.
Hi I’m curious as to what you can do with the gold as reading online what ever you find is classed as mines royal ???
Hello Michael, You can always throw it back but as an enthusiast and lover of the great outdoors it's a fantastic subject to film which takes you to some amazing places.
Great vid. In which part of UK is this spot located?
Hello Daniel. This is Wales buddy
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Let me guess. Somewhere near Clogau Gold Mine? It can't be random place, looking at how much gold you found.
@@CzemuToTrenduje This is the secret river lol.
Some nice pickers captured there Mr Daz P 👍
Yeah Paul. It isn't an everyday occurrence for me to find gold like that. Thanks for commenting.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I wonder where the source is? there must be some quartz veins somewhere! 👀
@@Time2Wonder70 I have a few clips of veins under the water on this section but I reckon they were mainly Pyritic. I will show them soon.
MrDazp1 hi Dazp just bought my first pan after a trip to Wanlockhead, I did try planing on the river Trent with a subway salad bowl . No luck yet but I’m thinking of trying on the river Dove 😁
That’s a nice find nearly £200 worth. Do you put it back or do you declare it an keep it
Hello Barry, it makes for great filming and a cracking day out. The river gods were kind to me on this day and I have been known to throw it back too 😬
hay daz .quick question bro,, is that a wet suit ur waring or a dry suit .thanks scotty
Hello, it's a wetsuit buddy.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thanks bud ',was wondering if you could use a wet suit aswell as a dry suit ,,should be sniping soon ,canny wait ,,just so busy with work ,cant turn down the cash hahahaa
Hey, what's the preference on wetsuits for English waters?
Hello Chloe, I would look at a 4 to 5mm wetsuit. If you fancy a go at this though I would consider a good second hand one because they can get scuffed or shredded a lot on the rocks. I wouldn't want to ruin a nice Ripcurl wetsuit if you know what I mean.
Hi Buddy, I've got the bug!!!!! I now know what I want to be doing in my retirement.. I live slap bang in the Grampian and Cairngorm mountain range. Do you think there would be any gold in the local burns? What signs should I look for? Great vids. Thanks.
Hello Derek, thanks for watching and commenting. There's gold in Scotland alright !
I recommend that you research on line any geological survey reports from the BGS of the area's you are interested in. There's also a good book called Gold Occurrences in the UK by Lee Palmer which puts all the info in one place.
Try this link too it's very useful. th-cam.com/video/axOgdmI3o3g/w-d-xo.html
The gold likes to become lodged in tight crevices besides being mixed in with flood gravels . Happy retirement to you buddy, any tips just ask.
would you reccoomend any spots in yorkshire to do this?
You could try the Swale or the Rawthey
Where about in Wales should me an my friends start sniping and panning for our first time?
Hello Paul, It is frowned upon to go this location at the moment so it might be a case of finding any river or hidden stream you know well and having a little prospect, out of sight and out of mind but where ever possible I would seek permission
Lovely bit of gold you found there my friend, fair play to ya 👍. Some of that gold looks quite rough, are you far from its source or is the source location know?
Hi Gary thanks for watching. This location has some reefs near by and it seems to replenish on a yearly basis. That crevice though was a bit unique in that I don't think anyone had stumbled across it for some time if ever.The whole area will have been mined and probably dynamited by the Victorians too.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures perhaps you just put more time and effort into cleaning out the crevices properly. I had a feeling there was a few reefs nearby. Lovely location for it and that is some of the best gold I have seen on a video from the UK. I plan on hitting a few rivers in Ireland this year for a bit of Au and perhaps a bit of platinum if I am really lucky
@@garylawlor2288 thanks again for the great feedback and comments Gary. I did seem to stumble across it and once you find a pocket like that you have to keep on going until the job is done. Best of luck too on your adventures this year . Cheers.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thanks bud much appreciated. Best of luck to yourself also. I look forward to seeing your shiny 😆
For those really stuck pieces I use a Estwing gad point pry bar. Its a awesome piece of equipment. Nice video.
Sniping the UK very Cool !!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching
Woohoo " a new vid again " lucky me😂😂✌✌. Gonna hit the 👍 button like crazy , And I really hope everyone will do the same. Keep them Goldy vids coming and we will do what we can to help my friend 👌💪💪
Thanks again Varmland, hopefully this edit will be ok. All the best buddy
Great gold. What a great day for you! I carry a hammer and skinny chisel for those stubborn nuggets stuck in cracks!
On this session I used the pinch bar and the mini hammer as camera mounts, but yes I guess I was lucky and in the right spot.
Just watched this again😂 Got a wee trip coming up and a vid to follow👌🏻 Hope all is well at your end Daz⛏🏴
Hey up , SGH, yes we're all fine south of the border just missing the gold panning to be honest. They have banned 🚫 panning at all the rivers in Wales where I go which is really bad news for so many of the community who you see down there. Thanks for watching this one again buddy, I recall on this session I had got to the point of giving up and then I stumbled upon that pocket. It's a very surreal and uplifting experience for sure.
I won't ask where your trip is to but I'll keep an eye out for your video in the coming weeks. Take care and best of luck - heavy pans is what they say I think lol.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures that’s not good. What is the reason for banning it there? I am hoping to get to Tyndrum when the restrictions have eased👌🏻
@@ScottishGoldHunter I have heard a few stories about the locals complaining of over night camping, littering etc and about other practices going on that are on a bigger scale than anything else. My view is that the gold mining company are in the process of sampling and trenching across lots of areas and they are on to a potential jackpot ( a bit like Cononish) and they are paying the royalties and what have you to be there, so I guess it counts us panners out as there is no system in place for us to go there with a permit - like Leadhills for example.
It's a proper shame to say the least !
But if you get to Tyndrum I'm sure you will have a fantastic time. I fell in love with place. The great thing there is that you could camp at the site in town and pan next to your tent or camper.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures not good when these things happen😞 Tyndrum is a special place! The gold literally is everywhere! Getting a bit harder as lot of people go there but still some nice gold to be found😀
how many days or hours did it take to accumulate 4.6g of gold
Good question Rusty and a difficult one to answer. On this trip I found the gold from about 7 hours of sniping over 2 days. I don't start early in the morning, it's usually between 1pm and 7pm not forgetting an hour for lunch.
I also have to spend time filming and flying the drone in this time too.
Some people may average 1g/day from prospecting or move a lot of overburden and find the same but over a week. It all gets interesting when you get to the bedrock and reap the fruits of your labour.
Nice have u ever thought of using a whites trx pinpointer? Its water proof 10 feet. Its really sensitive not like the falcon md2020 but it goes relitivly deep. it has a vibrate mode. Check out a youtube video of dude using one on land pretty impressive..I wanna get one one day. Uk must have some good gold. Look at all those crack in the bedrock nice.
My dad - Dad's hat. He had a garret pin pointer but has'nt used it yet.
MrDazp1 a falcon md would becool. I herd it is sensitive but i dont know how it works coilwise as depth or a scraper?
I’ve just ordered my wetsuit, hood and gloves, it’s 3mm think. Do you think that will be warm enough? What mm is yours? I’ll be there on satd 6th july
3mm should be ok in mid summer Ian especially if you have some warm sun on your back. My wetsuit is 4.7mm and is ok from May onwards for me. Make sure you use ear plugs to keep the water out too. I will be there this weekend I think because it looks like it will be a nice one. Good luck and all the best pal.
Cheers Daz, ill look forward to this weekends clip and I’ll let you know how me and my brother get on.
With all this hot weather I might not need the wetsuit with the low river levels, but at least it’ll stop the miggies!
sadly looks like days on that river are now over im afraid. Nrw and police have cracked down big style 😟 many of us are now gutted. Hope your keeping well buddy 👍
So sad Catty. I can't believe what they have done. No doubt that the investors of Alba have now got all the rights to mine and survey the area and will be paying the queen a fair bit of dosh in royalties to fund all of their recent debacles with Andrew and Harry but never the less they should have introduced a licence / permit system similar to other places in the UK to allow this popular pastime to continue. There will be other places though Catty I am sure that we will find, some not too far from here and others that will become the next best place to go. Thanks for the comments and sharing your thoughts. All the best, Darren.
It's because there opening new mines but there mutch further down river
Well done
Thank you, unlike most other channels. I always try to reply to my comments, it's all about the viewer on this channel. Cheers.
Hi daz awesome work,, how do you manage the panning during the lock down, are you still aloud to do it during the covid.?
I made all my videos this year before the lockdown or when things were possible in between the various local and national lockdowns. It has really impacted on what I was hoping to do with the gold panning side of the channel hence all the cycling videos. But can I thank you for watching and commenting on the video Robert.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures well done, I want to go this year, I have been doing panning since 2016 but last April my old dog had to be put to sleep as he was old, so didn't get anywhere all last summer, but this year I'm rareing to go. Lol hope I have your luck.
@@robertbuchanan8528 So sorry to hear about the dog Robert, my dog is asleep right next me on his rug in the computer room. He has been everywhere with me but over the last 12 months he has started to really slow down, Anyway, best of luck for this year and keep on trying out new places, new ideas and never give up. This is a life long hobby and if it was that easy to find gold, we'd all be doing it.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thanks I will keep searching, I have my 2 years old German shepherd so can't wait, 😁
@@robertbuchanan8528 Good on Ya pal. Make sure the pooch gets to go out on the adventures. When | first started out on this journey I couldn't find a sausage and one day I decided to dig in the gravels where the dog kept lying down and having a nap. This was a game changer .
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks 👍 Tommy
i love the yellow stuff my biggest gold nugget sniping is 9.5 grams but it was the day i forgot my gopro at home but i did get a 4 gram the next day on camera
9.5g !!! Now that sounds like a nice piece of gold.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures i almost left it behind it was blacker than black and it looked like a piece of pyrite. i had seen it laying there for about an hour before i picked it up and wiped it off talk about shocked then about a foot more up stream i found a silver quarter and about a foot past that i found the 4 gram. the streak payed out 21grams before it ran out.
@@WorldScienceTV 21g total is a once in a lifetime moment surely - 3/4 of an ounce. I have heard of prospectors at this river finding nuggets that they nearly chucked away because they were black.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures25:02
Can gold be found in the midlands anywhere?? Great vids
Maybe if you come a bit further north there is potential for it to be in Buxton or Matlock but there is only one way to find out........Get your self a pan Jake and give it a go.
Yeh, jewellery quarter
Do you need a permrt to do this on Scotland
You can permits from a few estates up in Scotland, Angel.
Ripper effort man I’m waiting for the water to get up an I’ll be face down again 💯👌⛏🎥

Good point Stephen, that's what I would normally do Stephen but appreciate the tips.
Hello can I send you some small rocks with gold in them? I am on a site where it takes exactly 3 minutes to find, I intend to send some to a few other TH-cam channels as well.
Am in the UK
Hello Grant, thanks for the offer but I don't have an address I could use or a PO box at present for this channel. Have thought about crushing them and panning the dust out.
Is that your solicitor in the background 😂 you cant keep a good man down unless hes sniping.
He's a good chap and keen prospector. Thanks for watching Andy.
I'm just taking up panning, anyone ever heard of anything in ayrshire? I'll be trying in the headwaters of the river garnock
You could try the river Ayr between Failford and Stair, Stuart. Either way best of luck and let us know how you get on buddy.
Im curious but what are the laws around gold panning in Wales??
Please share your thoughts on the matter Martin.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Oh I honestly dont know. I would like to take my son when on holiday but imagine you need landowners permission and Im sure all gold belongs to the crown (not that anyone is making money off this I guess!). I also guess that sites of scientific interested or preservation would be off limits. Is panning common in wales?
There's a lot of panning that takes place in Wales Martin, this particular river has now got restriction notices up but for years has been a well know spot. If you going to Wales, I believe that the Sygun copper mine offers gold panning tasters though.
If not you can get a permit to pan in Scotland at Leadhills 😉
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Oh thanks so much! Obviously its for fun and keep the videos coming its very informative!
It is all about the fun for me too, it is a bit of a grey area as to who owns the land, who owns the river that flows through the land and who owns the mineral rights too.
If it is declared to the mines Royal, I guess it keeps Prince Andrew accustom to his lifestyle.
Has anyone ever had any luck in Cornwall? 🧐
Oh yes, there's good gold in Cornwall.
Anyone know if the river wyre (north west) is worth having a look at?
The Ribble, Lune, Wyre could all have potential. My next video will be from Coniston and it looked perfect but could I find any ??. My advise would be look for bedrock and go upstream inland a bit. Use Google earth and look for bridges with 3D images. This will help you see what's what.
Thanks for the info buddy!
@@wunsen2483 I was cycling over St Micheal on the Wyre last weekend 120 miler and was thinking the same too.
Yeah a few guys at work said they wouldn't bother as most of the wyre is marshlands, not gonna stop me front seeing for myself tho 😉
For every take down there must be a repost.!! Hang in there
Yes. I've double checked for any copyright potentials on the 2 latest re - uploads and put them back on this platform as soon as I possibly could. I could also contest the original claims but don't have the depth and understanding nor time to take things too far.

Do you make much money doing this ?
Hello Andrew, I don't make any money at all buddy it's a hobby and like most hobbies it can be expensive to get all the kit you need. Thankfully I have a rewarding job that allows me to do the things I love in my spare time. Great question though
Hey Dude you might wanna be careful Harry Henderson don't get cha ...
Did I call it a yabby pump or something Drew.
You out in them furns by yo self
@@drewbee6248 I am pal.
Is that worth much?
It will have some value in £/g but that is wide open for debate. Some say £50/g others say £100/g but I'm not doing it for money. I just think it's a fantastic hobby to film

Thanx I have been metal detecting for years and this is a new hobby I would like to try but it's always nice to make a little fuel money and beer money back.
That’s 173 US dollars you’ll be a mill-yen-Air in no time.
Thanks for the info Retro D. I'm off to the gold buyers shack right now.
I can send you some gold still in the rock in the post, message me an address and I will put a map print out in there too for where you can visit to find it and a few photographs of the absolutely crazy rainbow coloured mineralisation outcrop, one of the sites is being destroyed by construction so you'd need to visit it fairly soon if you wanted to see it, the other one is 70 miles away, two sites..
Forgot to add that on the first site it is a find every 3 minutes
Sound interesting , I need to set up a Facebook account to link in with people which I don't currently have. There are a few places I want to prospect in this area.
Only if you got good eyesight
Good point Stuart. Sometimes you are that close to the bedrock you can't focus on things. Ideally you want nice warm and bright sunlight over head and on your back.
did they say what the copyright infraction was? dispute it
Hello DEmma, the answer is a simple nope. I can only presume it was a common word I have adopted that may be associated with a major TV show with a similar theme. But every location where the gold is in the UK has had a mini G..d R..h . I initially started off with several videos where I couldn't even find a rusty nail but called it GR.....as Mickey take on my self.
Discovery does NOT have the rights to GR. GR is a common phrase which has been used for 200 years.
That would be like discovery claiming it had rights to remove every episode of only fools because they say the are wheeler dealers (not to be confused with 'wheeler dealers' on discovery).
The term gold rush is actually an event when a new area is found to contain gold. GR the program is same ol same ol as they all know where the gold is and can say how much gold is in each acre. The TV program is badly named IMO.
Maybe discovery channel is bitter because NASA wouldnt rename the discovery missions
I'm with you all the way there. I watched a clip on TH-cam where a Creator was flagged with Copyright claims on a video he made based on the sound of a paper towel dispenser he used sounding like the intro to a song.... wtf ! and they were his words.
People who watch GR are more than likely going to watch your channel also and all the gold extraction type vids that are on YT. The more the merrier and DC should be happy as it encourages a community to get behind the idea of going out and doing it.
DC will now be watching all your vids so at least you will make some money off them lol.
If DC is watching your vids then they are probably also reading the comments. DC I will say this, Grow a pair FFS. Most of your shows are faker than ghost hunters and Dazp just kicked your butt for content and information for educational purposes.
@@DEmma1972 yes I think you're right there and I appreciate your support.
What are the laws on doin this
I am not sure what the law is.
that looked planted there
Yes you are spot on there, the gold is very very heavy and becomes literally planted on the bedrock by it's own mass, it's very lazy and doesn't like to travel other than to the lowest point it can possibly get to.
It could have been there for thousands of years and today was my lucky day.
I do know that some people have found big nuggets here too, I've seen em with my own eyes and they are something special I can tell you that.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and share a comment.
I find it hard to believe that in the U.K. you can just rock up to a river you like the look of and start scratching about looking for gold!
Or, is that not the case, and you have to be a bit covert about it? Is that why you spend half your time in a wetsuit doing Newt impressions🤣
A video about what you can and cannot do would be good.
Obviously you return the rocks to where they came from so it doesn’t look like how that insignificant American telly programme leaves the landscaping, but seriously, do you have to ask permission for some places and not others, etc etc
th-cam.com/video/UqUBRY-LTAg/w-d-xo.html check this link out Roger. He doesn't cover the legalities of dressing up as newt though. My aim is create a channel that is just as good as the American telly show but as an enthusiast from the UK. It all started out as a bit of a joke though in the early days where I could not find gold for love nor money. Things have progressed slowly since then.
do you need permission to do this in rivers ?
You can get permission on some rivers but this river has restricted all gold panning recently.
Wellnin Mr D , nicely done and fook TH-cam and the Hoffman's ☠👍👍👍⛏💙
Cheers PD. Gonna be a hot one this weekend so might go for another sniping sesh.
MrDazp1
How do you dress for underwater !
Wetsuit Only ?
How do you stop water going inside your boots ?
@@stenchosmells it doesn't matter about your feet getting wet. They will still be nice and warm. The wetsuit keeps you warm and traps a thin layer of water around your body.
I just wear trunks but you can wear a rash vest too.
dont half get about you lad . please do tell , how effing cold do you get in your wet? or dry? suit .
I love the great outdoors pal. On this occasion i spent a good 6 hrs or so in the water. It was kinda cold but bareable .
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures so did you collect all 4.6g on two separate occasions , or more ?
@@irish-medi-weed-grower5240 I found all the gold in a very tiny spot on the river over 2 days. But the majority was in that crevice.
Are you on a claim or do you need permission
Hello Rez , it's just a well known spot to find gold in the UK.
Where in a self made video can anybody claim copyright where there is no music or brand names on show, nothing in these videos is Discovery property, hence they have no right. They must be like "oh the rust pattern on that crowbar looks like the same as on episode...." Oh go eff yourselves Discovery.
If I contest it I have to give all my personal information, name , address, phone numbers etc which is unfair and I don't want to do this over a silly video. They won't reply to my emails at all. It could be a troll for all I know with a convincing email link. TH-cam don't mediate and won't help.
