    Since I've started watching AquaChigger I've purchased.....
    Garrett At Pro = $500
    Garrett At Pro-Pointer = $140
    Neodymium Magnet = $50
    Sea Doo SeaScooter = $350
    Snorkel/Mask/Fins = $60
    Gold Panning Stuff = $20
    And guess what!?..........
    I've found absolutely nothing valuable. It's harder then it looks.
    Chigg you are the Master of treasure hunting!

      many hours of research, know where you are going first. I only hunt wooded areas. Where people lived hundreds of years ago. Find areas that are difficult to reach. Areas that require at least half hour more hike through the woods.
      Most will not take the effort to get there, they won't.

    inspiring video, i wish i could get on that rich of soil, we are really slow and careful looking for specks around here, , but if i was there id be burning through the pans cherry picking a bit,so i don't blame you for keeping it quick.more rolls of the dice, more chances for that nugget! good luck!

  • @cherylmatthews7172
    @cherylmatthews7172 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you think the mosquitoes are bad just wait for the Nats to show up. Oh you'll love them. The nats drive the caribou and moose literarily crazy. Sometime when a herd of caribou are running it's because of the nats biting them. Once they find some snow patches they try to hang out on the patch the nats don't like the patches cause the temp is lower on the patches of snow.
    Nats don't usually start showing up until mid August or later depends on the weather. Most of the time these are called moose nats.
    The spelling can be knat, gnat, or nat.

  • @huckfinnsj
    @huckfinnsj 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great video, Beau; however, one criticism: The water was running too fast in the sluice and you probably lost 50% of the gold you dug....maybe more. I've sluiced much I the past and slower water speed in the sluice is critical. Jus' sayin'......and the skeeters up in Prudhoe Bay are 10 times worse during caribou migration.

    The mosquitoes at the end there look terrible! You should get one of those netted hats or something.. I'd go nuts

    • @cherylmatthews7172
      @cherylmatthews7172 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      deweys I lived in Alaska for 20 years. You eventually get used to them. If you think the mosquitos are big and bad wait until the knats (pronounced "nat")show up. They bite hard & drive the caribou and moose crazy. A lot of time the caribou will be running in a herds because the knats are driving them crazy. The large knats will bite you and leave a spot with a white core in the middle. This spot will get infected if you don't get that core out so It can heal up. They're nasty buggers

  • @arcooke
    @arcooke 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    At 10:58 when you dumped the water out of the pan, was that not a big nugget on the left? I kept watching it swirl around in the pan and I was like nonononono grab it!! Maybe it's just a tan rock but it sure looked like a nugget

    • @cherylmatthews7172
      @cherylmatthews7172 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      N.ESS if it was swirl and moving that easy, it wasn't gold. Sorry!

    • @arcooke
      @arcooke 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can only catch a glimpse of it a couple times while panning. He seems to be a little too aggressive with his panning technique, it's not out of the realm of possibility for a nugget to fall out if it's sitting on top of the heavy black sand

  • @maus8992

    Riggers gloves are amazing,design for wet and avoids cut on hand a descent hat waterproofing and padded waterproof leggings motorbike with padded knees I thought would be essential for out gold finding since hand legs head are important for comfort and security hopes it helps preparing is the most important thing to do before gold fever

    • @khronosstudios5125
      @khronosstudios5125 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Why not? He's not going to get a large amount and it's not like he's hiding these locations or methods. Gold panning is something you always do if you visit Alaska if you are even slightly interested.

      Most people keep it in a vial or something. He won't get enough to bother with selling it unless he's really needing money. He will likely put it with his savings.

  • @poptart8741

    love the videos...although your slice is way to strep of an angle , a lot of black sands on your carpet at the end of the sluice. your washing gold out... What do they charge to stay up there at camp for months at a time ?

    @EddieSchirmer 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    should use something like a length of dredge hose to connect the lay-flat hoses so they don't kink... then, you won't get any burst hoses and pipes and such... something I've seen from Gold Hog, and it makes a ton of sense. then, could use quick clip fittings to connect everything and would end up being super simple and low maintenance... so, less time fiddling with equipment, and more time getting the gold =)

    Hi. I have watched all the Gold Rush videos on TV. I see that they will not let the water run if they are not feeding the plant, otherwise the gold which has been caught, could be washed out. You did this on your last video, as you took your time to get down to the pump to shut it off. could have lost some gold.
