I love how Sean literally goes with the flow😂😂
Thanks - Finally on my own to finish watching your great Highland Gold video, congrats on exceeding your personal best! Can I suggest though, perhaps next time Sean could point Percy at the plant life next to him, instead of polluting the stream near to where you're about to snorkel! Bye Si, about to go on my own adventure very soon. I've always had a soft spot for you but if I slap on a big plaster and adopt a jaunty walk, no one will ever notice!!!!😜
@@My2Pennyworth Thanks so much Penny! Yes I must teach Sean to be more Gentlemanly, like me lol. Your adventure sounds exciting! Can you reveal what you are doing? Whatever it is I hope you have the best fun! Thanks again my Angel! 😇 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@SifindsMy friends hobby is gliding and he’s organised for me to try it - I’ve tried many things once and never again! I’ve got a painful shoulder atm because of our car bump but this was already booked as a surprise for me (i could think of something I’d like a bit more, perhaps) Please think of me and wish me luck as I glide through the air, dreaming of a luxury hotel and leisurely exploring some fascinating ruins somewhere - I’ll see how it goes though. Have a lovely evening - and btw, I’m as mysterious as a rice pudding!
@@My2Pennyworth wow that sounds very exciting! I’m sure you’ll be in good hands. God speed and happy gliding!! Next… hot air balloon 🎈
@@Sifinds Thanks I’m quite brave - unless I’m confronted by a big, hairy eight legged monster (don’t even want to type the name) or any creepy crawlies! - The second reason I gave up bottle digging! So I’m not too worried! I’ll look forward to watching your lovely videos when I get back!x
@@My2Pennyworth Have the BEST time sweetie!👍🏻🐾🧡
Looked tough going Si but you both put the hours in and were rewarded with the shiny stuff. Great video. Shirtless Sean always a legend. ❤
I love these gold panning trips. So much laughter. Thank you Si and Sean.
@@lovelyskull3483 thanks so much LS👍🏻🐾🧡
It's fun to watch you and Shawn have fun together. Looks to me too much like bloody hard work.😂
Oh my goodness, that was fun! Thank you both for not taking life too seriously! The guest appearance from Nellie was the icing on the cake!
@@chrisberry9017 Cheers Chris!!
That was so much fun to watch! And a little bonus Nelly cam too! I missed out last week so I'm off to watch it now! Cheers Si xx Teresa 🇦🇺😻💖💜❤
@@iamshotty Cheers Teresa! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I love your videos, I find them really relaxing but as a wildlife lover and photographer I especially enjoy your little wildlife clips in your videos 🥰
Sorry if others have said this, but, it's your comradeship and banter that are the gold here :)
All that Song needs is a hound Dog howling every so often in the background ❣️ Have Fun ❣️❣️
The bug is a birch shield bug, Elasmostethus interstinctus. That one is in the last instar before it becomes an adult.
The second bug is a black clock beetle.
haha the third is a European Drone fly. Nice bug finding. The birds too, but I figure you probably know those ones, birds are a bit easier than bugs usually.
@@ManticorePinion Excellent knowledge!!
12.35 grams is worth about £750! Not bad fishing!
Excellent Video!
@@Londonechoes Thanks!
Nothing beats a hot meal after a cold day of adventure.
@@future_me_6067 amen my friend
Thanks for the video lads, well done too you both, great fun to watch except the mussels!!😎🐓🐓🐓🐓🇬🇧
@@christopherbraiden6713 Cheers Chris! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Always some of my favorite videos from you, Si, the annual Scotland gold trip. You guys were epic this year, you just keep getting better at gold hunting!
cheer’s Lois! 👍🏻🐾🧡
The berries are red currant..the most common one..and the lilac flowers are good as tea. Russians used the leaves, fermented, as black tea...
Phew I was worried it was belladonna I didn't get a close enough look😂
@@ginavandam735 Cheers Gina!!
Facinating info. !
Good seeing dry suits being used instead of cold wet suits. I used to be a commercial diver so have two dry suits.
@@robertcunninghammusic6712 Did yours leak too? 😂
Congrats to the winner, and thanks Si and Sean for another entertaining video!
@@3rdgensarah680 Cheers Mudlover👍🏻🐾🧡
A good haul there Si9 between the two of you. Love little Nellie with her prawn.
Congratulations to you both. Your worked payed off. I planted two current bushes to honor my departed Grandma. She made current jelly.
@@lisacassells3828 cool!
Congrats funluvn! 👍🎆 Congrats Si and Sean! 👍🎉 At least you avoided that smelting accident 😁😊❤💛
the cool nature shots were the real gold. Loved the skeptical fish!
Simon, your videos are never boring. I always have to laugh so much and have a lot of fun!
What you do to find gold or gold coins😂
Nicola sent me here...hello from the Western Pacific, Marianas islands 🌴✌🏽😊🤙🏽
@@fmt_Guåhan Hello Tina! Enjoy the treasure hunting!
Hey Si, you handsome devil you 😊 looks like a fun time! Beautiful surroundings as well. Bet your sad to go home, I would be. ❤
@@tracycrum9829 Hey Tracy, yes it’s quite a change from London!
Awe my guess was way off but what a blast. Loved watching y'all gold hunting. Always thanks for the Nelly cameo. Have a luck in the muck week!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
💫 LIKE GOLD? Then you have to see the time I find medieval GOLD th-cam.com/video/IeosVDIM4ac/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ypPi78-dpy6TYqsx
Beards aren’t good for scuba masks. Have a shave next time 👍🏻👍🏻
@@smokeandkippersYour mum wasn’t complaining last night, don’t tell my Dad what to do there is a reason he had a beard 😬
Tassie boys prospecting has the lightweight, long lasting breathing tank for prospecting. ❤
Si, do you need a permission to try in the Sottish rivers pls ?
Many thanks in advance
@@frogscotch19 yes
Well done ! ( dry suit 5:15 🤣🤣🤣)
Great filming & editing!what a fantastic road trip,thanks for taking us along!
@@deloradeabel8487 thanks so much Delora! 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds you deserve it!
More gold ! Yay! Well done guys.
Hi Si, really loved this video, looks like you both had fun, I can’t believe you had the same amount of gold …💀👨🏼🦼➡️
@@JulesChappers me neither! Cheers Jules 👍🏻🐾🧡
Even though my guess wasn’t close, I was very chuffed to see my name pop up in your video. Thanks Si 😊
What a GREAT 5 day vacation...camping, being with friends, lovely river! I think that when you two felt comfortable; like goggles not fogging up and dry in your dry suit, you seemed to do so much better - and thst is certainly understandable!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
What a great job you two did! This video is incredible, start to finish!
I live in Northern California, where gold panning is a hobby in “Gold Country” all around where the first big gold strikes were found that brought people out west during our “Gold Rush”, hoping to “strike it rich!”
The videos that I have seen from California aren’t a patch on the wonderful job you did with videography!
Congratulations on finding this truly beautiful Scottish gold! Amazing!
@@PollyAlice2000 aw thanks so much Polly. That’s really appreciated 👍🏻🐾🧡
Nice editing for this video. And great ASMR bit with Nellie and the prawn
@@PorcelainBeach Cheers Mudlover!!
Well done fellas. It’s a great spot, and sniping is bloody hard work.
The bug is a Birch shieldbug, the second bug was a Black Clock Beetle, the third, an Orange-spined drone fly.
@@katherineashley5712 Cheers Kath! Is your surname Attinborough? 😂
@@Sifinds Not exactly, lol. I love watching your videos Si. Always very entertaining. I am an avid nature lover, and I love finding out what different parts of nature are that I haven't seen before. I use Picture This apps. They are great.
Your videos are the best way to relax before the beginning of a new week! Excellent work,as always 👍👍
Appreciate that Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Loved this guys it's something right up my street. Amazing stuff and well done to the winner of gold🎉🎉🎉 keep them coming si brudddda
Cheers Tony! 👍🏻🐾🧡
So fun following you on that adventure.
I love the cut away to Nellie for suspense, lol. Will you give him and Daisy a treat and some pats from me? I just love those two, they're so sweet.
@@repeat_defender I will. They are super sweet 🐈 🐈⬛
Man flap 😂 had me cracked up. The bug is a shield bug also known as a stink bug, if they feel threatened they emit a vile stench! Ha, my guess was well out but i was hoping you were going to find a number of 'clangers'. I was a bit late to this video as i was busy beach combing for my own treasures. Congrats to the winner 🎉
@@nickyisshinyontheinside5879 Cheers Nicky!
That just looks exhausting! But it looks like you guys had a blast! The green bug is a juvenile Juniper Shieldbug 😊.
🐜 Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Thanks Si for the "tour of Scottish nature" along with the water adventure. Reminds me alot of Pittsburgh PA actually!
@@cindywilson3647 my pleasure Mudlover👍🏻🐾🧡
Afternoon si and all 🎉
So happy for you boys love to see you out and about and you make me laugh 😂
@@teresaskinner6240 aw thanks so much👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds you are so very welcome
I'm the WINNER! ❤❤❤
I've finally worked out that lovely Sean reminds me of a Roman emperor, with that Roman nose, strong profile and wild curly hair. What a smashing guy he is!
@@jan208 Seanius Maximus
Great video Si
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
That was a fun video🎉🎉
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I can’t believe you were able to film as much as you did underwater so we can see what sniping actually looks like! Brilliant!! Thank you SO much! 🙌🏼
@@katetomlin5685 thanks so much. I tried my best x
Love these gold adventures🙂
A different video but still very enjoyable. I'm glad you and Sean had a prosperous and fun few days in Scotland. I'm going on my own trip in a month. I live in Washington state, close to the coast and I'm going clear across the US to Baltimore, Maryland to visit a friend for 10 days. Hope I have as much fun as you two. But no gold hunting planned. But my first trip to the eastern US.
Have fun Beth!
I wasn't that far off. One more day and I would have been spot on 😂 Funny the person who won was a first time commenter on your channel. Goes to show you it pays to leave a comment 😉
@@Wreckdiver59 very true that Jim!
Deeper into the granite and bedrock grooves and a honey hole nice si
@@spectrumEDMforever Cheers matey!
I guessed over by a few grams lol good haul regardless, I'd love a go at that
Great job Si!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Hope you do this every year!
Me too! Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Oh Si you sound like you’re getting the flu! Thank you for another great video & the laughs. Keep up the great work 😊
Na I’m made of tough stuff. Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Dry suits! I think not! But you guys do love alternative adventures! And thanks so much for sharing with us. And if you keep at it for another ten years you may pay off all the equipment you’ve bought for said adventure! But you’ll have to go out for more than a week each year, that’s for sure! Lovely video, lovely location, lovely food cooking, and just all around lovely!!❤️
Yes but the fun we have is invaluable. Cheers Yve
@@Sifinds That’s what my husband of 53 yrs calls me!
Wow you both did amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Hi Mudlover,Take care of yourself,blessings
@@Gloria-qy3dd I will. Cheers Gloria!!👍🏻🐾🧡
Have you considered mudlarking Camas Uig bay? around where the Lewis chessmen were found? could still be lots of treasure buried in that area!
Good stuff Si and Shaun, next time you're this way I will show you how to put your tent away! Haha!
@@norfolknchance.500 hahaha. Cheers Ray! Are the fields ready for a detect yet??
@@Sifinds Still sugar beet, but should be soon ish then empty till spring barley, will let you know when empty, they can't give exact date as they don't know, but shouldn't be too long?
@@norfolknchance.500 Yes please do!
Interesting guys, thanks. You have to be determined to find the gold with all the work and cold water, but well done!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Great little trip to Scotland .
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Great gold finds! yep you need a new mask and wet suit if you ask me. but I can't get the knack of snorkeling, I have tried and tried, oy big fail for me. lol the berries are cherry currants!
Woop woop I have been waiting for this 😎
Great video again gents 👏 👍 👌
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
We have bugs like the one in question in WA state.We call them "stink bugs" upset them and you will know why. Be safe.

We were both delighted with our gold

Cheers Sheena👍🏻🐾🧡
Its baby shield bug. Great video again lads 😊
@@elasmith4916 ah cool!!
Great fun Si, I hate being cold so I don't think that I would have found any at all.
I think if my dry suit was water tight it would’ve been different
Neat shirt Simon.
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Get it out si lol😂😉 😘
@@jodiecollins-l1b I can’t! 😂
Thank you all.
@@AnnaAnna-uc2ff Cheers Anna👍🏻🐾🧡
Nr 53 to react, hope you got well si, conquer the world brother 🎉🎉🎉
The red fruit is red currant
thanx!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
One of the burgers escaped 😂😂😂😂
@@spectrumEDMforever I know. I cried
Gold fever strikes again! You're wealthy now with your rubies and gold! 😊
Haha I wish!
I can't believe you both got 1.16 grams!!!!!❤
@@sheiladickerson5198 I know it’s mental!!
Spit onto the lenses of your mask and rub it around or a wee bit of toothpaste rubbed on and rinsed well will help with the fogging. And as stated, any facial hair including eyebrows, fringe, etc. under the seal can cause leakage. Not all masks fit every face either. Makes or breaks the snorkel or dive for me with an ill-fit.
What are the chances you both had the same weight in gold?!?! A cheap way to keep your scuba mask fog-free is with toothpaste or spit. Congrats to the winner!!😻
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
You should watch Pioneer Pauly. He is a pro at sniping. ❤️🇨🇦

Looks like a shield bug to me.
It is. A young one.
