Hunting, fishing, general outdoors, I just want to share the experience with everyone and teach those who've never experienced it and learn from the more experienced
What is up is right, what's up with driving and trying to selfie at the same time, we don't care what you look like and we especially don't care to see you crash into an unsuspecting vehicle while being reckless 🤯😔, I can't watch and support anyone being that nonchalant about horrible driving practices 😢. I had to stop at the 58 second mark... WOW 😳.
The first part is the tailings that you can go through for a small fee. The later part is in the actual mine. There are tailings piles there but it’s part of the mine. I believe set aside for the public.
I’m currently in Arkansas. Spending a lot of time at crystal vista. Low on funds this trip so can’t do any of the actual mines. Just finding the free spots to go.
depends, the smaller ones aren’t very valuable at all. Like $3 for a small bag of them. The real value in those is putting them on things like earrings or necklaces etc. The bigger ones depend on the quality and extensiveness of the clusters. The general beauty of the crystals and clusters. Most of the ones from this video would be under $20.
Hey thanks for the effort, I get dizzy really easy, I think they call it fixed vision or something. I tried the 😊best I could but once you out the camera on your head it was like I was on the cups and saucers ride at the carnival. I thought you might want that input from awhimppy guy! Lol thanks
I've been once , didn't figure out until I got home I didn't go far enough lol I plan on going soon. Some friendly advice for digging, I wouldnt scrape the dirt, instead, penatrate the dirt. Good luck to you.
Is there somewhere along the river there in Castell I can set up a tent for a night? I'm here from Washington state working a job in Sweetwater and there is laterally nothing to do in this town. Anyways if you could recommend a spot to pitch a tent for a night I would appreciate it. I'm clean about camping and will leave the site cleaner than when I found it. Thanks
I’m afraid I don’t know, I’ve actually been wondering the same thing. I usually just drive down there for a day trip. I’m only about 3 hours away. There is the llano state park, but that’s not castell
@@TimsWildOutdoors alrite cool thanks. I guess I'll have to just go and look in person but on Google Earth I zoomed into a couple spots that might work for camping but I still need to go onto the tax assessor site for the area and match the property to the parcel so that way I know if there is a landowner first. I'm also probably going to look at the Llano state park as well. But cool thanks then
Hey man I live in El paso. If your still prospecting I got access to about 340 acres in orogrande NM. There's some gold out there but no water lol. If you wanna go dig one weekend lemme know.
It’s probably not in the video but I did put water in the bucket. I had to in order for the classifier to work. If I remember correctly I think I just dumped the excess water off before I started sluicing.
@@bns434 No but I wind up driving along the river looking. All the good spots looked like I would wake up with my head blown off though because Texas is hard core like that and some of the urban rancher people there are insane. I did find a nice lake near Houston though and camped I was surprised how there was hardly anyone out there for how close it was the the 4th largest city in the country
I’d say anywhere you can get on the river between mason and llano. Some of the comments on this and my other llano video say that it’s better closer and south of llano. It’s a pretty far drive for me so I haven’t had a lot of exploration time down there. Maybe some of the gpaa guys on here can give you some good advice. I’m more of a wing it kinda guy.
Just ran across your vid. Throw out the first inches of dirt, gravel, and what. I have been through what you are doing. Dig deep into all the cracks you can. You foud lead! Keep going down, gold is heavier. Sure you know by now. I dig the cracks till I have a big pan full, then do it again. Fun stuff!
It’s a lot of fun. Hopefully you’ll have a day when they bring up a load from the pits. Those are the best, but you can also find some good ones in the old tailings.
You could probably take a Greyhound bus to Austin and then start walking northwest about 80 miles to Llano from there, it's probably about a 2 or 3 day walk depending on how much you are carrying and your fitness level. I would recommend going in early spring or late fall as it will be 100° or more during much of the summer.
I hope to get over to the Nolan area sometime this year. I’ve seen a lot of places around it e-scouting that I want to check out. Haven’t managed to get over there yet. Yes I live near Iredell
So I misread your comment earlier, I thought it said you’re not supposed to leave one. You are allowed to use a tree stand at Whitney bud, you just can’t leave anything out there. Quote from rules “Hunting blinds may not be built in, nailed or screwed to trees. Tree stands are restricted to portable, non-bark penetrating types only. Stands must be removed when not in actual use.”
A few notes first, downward angles are friends always have the camera up slightly above your eyeline and try to always make sure there is light infront of you and not behind so you don’t get washed out
I haven’t managed to, I ended up there on a fishing trip during the summer by accident, but didn’t have time to do any gold hunting. I do intend on moving to another spot next time I go. I have no computer at the moment though so I can’t edit any videos. I did have some great footage from cache creek on my old computer. Hopefully I can get it off of the hard drive when I get a new computer.
@@TimsWildOutdoors I've lived in that area for many years. Kingsland, marble falls, horseshoe bay, blue lake. I've fished that place so many times. Actually caught a 7 lb large mouth on a salamander on a campground in kingsland a few months ago. I take a trip up every few months. Let me know if you ever want to do some gold hunting.
My best outing on the Llano river was during a GPAA Round Rock outing near Llano where I came away with .2 grams of gold. Most of the gold is flour size and is best to run your concentrates through a miller table cause you might miss it in your pan.
I have scouted 3 areas out there. This is my first year with a coe permit and first year public hunting. I have never killed a deer. I had shots on 2 little antlerless but was looking for something bigger. Had a nice 8 point walk up on me but I wasn't ready for him. I think I'll do some more mid day scouting this week if I get off early enough.
i live in llano come help me sluice my creek haha also the better said place is down by long fishing camp in llano county south of llano texas between there and kingsland
@@RecklessSavage RRGPAA may be interested in talking with you. What creek runs through your property? If there is enough area for an outing they may be able to make a financial arrangement with you.
