And where in North America are you California mother load?

So you are in Dahlonega?

How much money do you get for an ounce of flour gold?

You must live in cali or colorado

You gotta love those finds😊

Outside bends tend to get blasted clear of any fines, but I always check the ones in my areas because those are the nugget or nothing zones. I’ve pulled some fairly decent nuggets out of those areas, but you also have to be in an area where nugget are known to be.

Hahaha. Very true. The big brains behind that money machine sure do know how they did it.

Not so fast. I have done my fair bit of prospecting in there. Lost over $30,000. I can conclusively say that it didn’t PAN OUT well for me :)

Lol. Tell that to the Warren Buffet’s and Charlie Munger’s. Actually some others are good. Cathy Wood predicted a rise in oil prices due to the Ukraine situation. My own adviser Mary Elizabeth Huxley also predicted that precious metals will go up during a recession after the pandemic. My portfolio has grown over $400,000 in 8 months so I guess some are better at prospecting stocks than others

Sounds great. I can’t get into Warren’s portfolio anyway to see how he does it. Does this Mary cater to private clients or is she institutional

She’s as personal as it can get. Worked in Merrill Lynch and manages individual portfolios. She’s the best bet if you are looking for something personal. I can't drop her number here but she has a publicly available website where you can reach her

Ka kaaaaw

Here you go little fella, hope this like tastes good! :) @@buckshotprospector

@@Bottledflower nom nom nom 😋

😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you for the suggestion!

What flavor hubba bubba j to da M?

@@buckshotprospector well grape of course! It feels good to finally tell someone.

@@piratescrew1869 grape is certainly well worth the crime and time in the big house. I'll call crime stoppers now 😃

😂😂😂 I knew it had to be grape flavoured…I would never have risked it for strawberry or that watermelon shit that flopped 😂

@@buckshotprospector can I please use a snippet from your last video?

I’ve been panning for over a year and have found like two specks. I just love doing it, even if I live in a small gold state (US).

Lucky they were interesting and fun things

From the sound of it you are in Australia. If you go to the websites Chris has mentioned there are several areas that are handi-accessible. Another option (one a friend of mine uses in America) is to get a smallish whitewater kayak (Pyrannha makes a few really good ones) that you can use to get up and down the creeks with and reach areas that you normally wouldn’t be able to. With a little practice you can kayak to a spot, dig and pan from the kayak. A few small modifications would allow you to haul quite a bit of gear with you too!

Thankyou, great suggestions! 😀

​@@akakscaseYes, that was a great suggestion about the kayak. One of the open beach tyres could be the go. They also have spots to store stuff. Mark from Melbourne Australia

@markfryer9880 thanks so much! Good idea! 👍

Have someone bring you buckets of material and pan it at your house. Last fall I brought a bunch home so I could pan all winter too. I wouldn’t mind grabbing a few extra buckets for a friend. 😊

i live in utah im going to try that for sure!

Ty! Lake greenwood sc! Our lake is filled almost up with sediment from Greenville sc, New construction...not our lake I mean the mouth of the reedy river where it meets the lake. How deep should I dig

@@rosieeye6812 I'm not sure, I would assume you'd have to get past the sediment

Very informative. Thank you.

This is a trick I use too. A lot of the creeks and river in my area get “moved” around by various means (earthquakes being the root cause of most of them) and it is always fun to go and check the old river channels for deposits. I also run guided trips on some pretty substantial rivers in my area and surprise the people I’m guiding with pulling gold out of most of them. It never ceases to amaze them when we stop for lunch, I grab my pan and in the course of about 15 minutes have a neat little pile of gold sitting in a pan for them to gawk at. My most successful areas are those where the river has moved from one channel to another.

@@akakscase no it is not a trick. doing my exploring around the desert you learn what to look for round River Rocks .if a river doesn't run through their the rocks are usually Jagged they're not round found an ancient waterfall as I dug down over the course of months going out there every weekend on vacation started findings of Round Rock's boulders you drill into the big boulders break them apart over the course of five years of doing it I guess i make that I pulled out at least 5 to 8 oz and it's not about the the gold it's the adventure. I still do go up there occasionally and Feingold still it's my old ancient waterfall site😍👌

How awesome is that place 😍 It’s magical even without the gold! Cheers 🍻🍻🍻

Perth Mint premiums too high, try ABC or Jaggards in Sydney

Same. I actually said the next time I go, when I see a place I think there may be gold, I’m going to the opposite side lol.

I did the incarceration thing for 10 months or so got out started at the bottom in construction as a laborer learned everything I could was a foreman 8 months later that was 26 years ago and I’ll never go back inside. It’s better out here

They did on gad zee’s channel

I don't know if I should give you a thumbs up, or run!

@@dirkfrazier9779 why run?

@@trevdyer173 He likes my bush pantaloons!

Oh crap, it's you, and you are a stalker. Run!

😅

I'm so glad!

I've tried that a few times, unfortunately in my area the geology means nuggets are fairly rare. Plenty of the fine gold though!

Same here

But that is how you learn. You haven’t failed, you have learned what areas not to look in. Now take that skill, get to the local library or archive, find good maps of the area (current) and compare them to the older maps of previous gold workings in your area. Also look for other mines, especially gemstone, as many of those deposit in the same manner as gold. Maybe take a course on local geology, and most important…. Keep trying. You check an area, and find nothing. Try checking just after winter, or just after some heavy rains. All sorts of things can move the gold around and put it in places that you might have already checked. I had a claim in south Alaska that I would only go to twice a year. There were two large crevices that I would empty and find fairly decent gold in on each visit. Once right after the snow melted from the winter; avalanches from higher up the mountain would drag the material up there down, and in the process of melting would deposit the gold in the crevice. And once in late fall; summer heat would melt the snow on the surrounding mountains and the river would flood, but by late fall the snow on the mountains would begin freezing again and the water level would drop low enough for me to get in there and clear it again.

Do you live in a gold bearing area?

Same. I’ve panned for a solid year and found like two specks lol. But both of those were recently so I think I may be improving. Or I’m just getting luckier. I also live in a tiny gold area, though.

Did you find my left sock?

Pretty straight foward hey
