FINDING GOLD!

You make this look easy! I tried to do this in little rivers when I was little.What did I get, NOTHING! PS those were puny little rivers with tons of pollution in the middle of the winter in New York.Not my best Idea

with all that gold and platnum at the bottom, you only got that much?

I hope I don't make it appear to easy to some — it is difficult and often dangerous work to deep dredge for gold. The shallow stuff isn't a piece of cake either – it is physical work.

Matts right, prospecting en general is back breaking work, but, dredging can be especially dangerous. It takes a lot of knowledge and experience to be a safe underwater prospector and should never be done without knowing the ropes first. That being said, it can be very funand rewarding as well.

sir, these are great videos but how do you actually breathe underwater when you were doing the digging for gold ? I was asking because i didn't see a scuba tank.

There is an air hose coming off the engine air compressor.

Great Vid Nice pay streak.

dude….

fishies!

Wow, gold nuggets!

Makes me want to search the rivers near my house!

look at dem largemouths! Hey can a whites beach hunter id do good in the desert?

if a goldfish swam by, would ya nab it?

this looks like fun, I know it's work but I like the kind of work you can go out and do on your own at your own pace in your own way. choppin wood and shovelling snow are fun too, but they don't give shiny treasure.

So…in theory, if you went upstream you would get closer to the "main vein" and maybe find more? How worn are the flakes and nuggets? I know its an old vid but first I've watched. Never prospected tho. Always found facinating. Too many hobbies.

That is precisely how the oldtimers would attempt to find the source. The flakes and nuggets are smooth surfaced.

Yeah, done alot of reading. Did you go further up stream? Just currious. Obviously the gold u got had been setting awhile. So cool to go do that. Every time I see black sand on a beach I wonder…

Yes, but I (and everyone else looking for it) didn't find it. Just take a magnet with you for the black sand. Easiest way to check. Good luck!

boy, i'd just love to go gold panning, prospecting and whatnot, but alas i doubt there is a suitable area near here, dont think i've ever even seen a shallow, flowing stream like is in some of your videos

seems like a lot of work for little reward. hope you strike it big one day though… Good luck…

16,000 dollars a lb hardly a little reward in just a few hrs. 16,000 x 6 = 96,000 dollars

lol, suck up the fish!

ya, 96 grand. i think he is in the black dude. read descriptions next time plz

I'm curious about what happened when the video finishes.

You pick up all the visible "nuggets" by hand and then what? You run the leftover concentrate through a spiral panning machine?

So confused. lol

That's right, I simply continued with FGII to show methods of separation on a few scoops of the concentrate and took the rest back to FL where I have time to concentrate on the concentrates.

FGII, Duuh. I didnt even think about that lol.

thank u sir, u do a great job with these videos.

is it hard to find gold or not and where exactly are you at anyways cause i am curious and can gold be found in a lake or stream or pond cause i would consider doing that for a living plus how much does your equipment cost anyway
