Переглядів 170,190
5 місяців томуAfter teaching MrBeast how to gold pan, I was challenged to find a big gold nugget within one week. I could not find one in North Carolina, so a flew home to my Dream claim where I knew I could find gold nuggets. Five days in, and we discover the second largest nugget I have ever found. Challenge accepted..... Challenge Completed!

2 yards an hour 😂, love you're videos, when I worked my parents Gold Mine on the south fork koyukuk river 450 miles north of Fairbanks Alaska, we ran 7 yard buckets every few minutes, I worked 11 weeks per year, 150k, was my pay, which was fine with me, even though our land assayed at 600 per cubic yard, this was back in 1982-87

Hi Dan! Next time use the smaller bucket for the excavator. You’ll have much better luck ripping through rock. Also, use the stick boom, also known as dipper boom to pull your bucket back towards you always keeping bucket as flat as possible. Think 90 degrees to 45 degrees. Enjoy you much!

@mikeblair2594 5 місяців тому
That's so great to see Doug again. He does remind me of my dad. I'm glad you found your nugget, but if you want to up the efficiency of your plant take a blow torch to the nozzles and soften them up and squeeze them flatter. That will make the water pressure you have and jump it up significantly as its forcing the water through a more narrow slot. That should make the dirt pile at the back of the rig melt away (like Butter😉).
@kylealexander7024 5 місяців тому
The pump might not handle that. The higher u pump up the less pressure u get at the nozzle. Restricting the flow to create more pressure can really slow down ur flow when combined with the elevation change

So fun and exiting hearing your sense of humor and watching you chasing the gold/bedrock seam. I've done a VERY little amount of gold panning. Enough to give me "gold fever" but, I'm currently in Sweden and not in BC Quesnel area anymore. I really miss the location! Anyhow, I'm having fun watching you so, I'm not complaining. On a side note... I also miss being able to "snipe" on eBay, some 25 yrs. ago when gold and other precious metals weren't so expensive. My best "snipes" among a few other, were my white and yellow 14 carat "Celtic", 16 gram ring, which I managed to win the bid in the final second for a measly $16.00 and a 12 gram Platinum and diamond signet ring for my son, which I also was the "sniper" of, when it was a millisecond left to bid, I won that one for $11.00. On the Platinum ring, I had put in my highest end bid for $150.00 and really didn't think I'd win it but... Color me totally shocked and surprised when I basically got it for free... 😱 In all honesty, think it's the SNIPING I miss the most, knowing how pissed off the others that are bidding become, when they loose the bid at the last fraction of a second... 😈😇😂 Yeah, I'm evil, I know... ❤
