Diamond Tooth Gerties.

Yes! I was close! 😂. Love that place!!

Thank you kindly

Dawson City was a lot of fun. Lots of cool stuff to see there!

My pleasure!

Yes, thanks

Thanks so much

@@exploringabandonedmines 🤘💖

Coming soon!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks 👍

That's the plan!

I did!

Glad you enjoyed!

You are welcome!

Glad you enjoyed it

Dinosaurs were around millions of years ago. These were from the last ice age 10,000 years ago.

Glad you enjoyed it. Sharon took the pictures.

Thanks 👍

Glad you enjoyed it

Yes she keeps me on my toes!

aye villain, you get my thumbs up for coming up with such a great name

@@harrickvharrick3957 haha thank you

Very welcome

Yes it was!

We did!

You are so welcome!

Yeah!!

There dredges were built up there mostly out of wood. All the metal parts came from down south.

He only has one and a bunch of parts neither is running.

@@exploringabandonedmines Fair enough :) I stand corrected, it was brilliant to look around that one on your video and i can't get over how knowledgeable you guys are :) I always learn something.

I don't remember it isn't mine.

@@exploringabandonedmines 10:19 looks like one of the rarer .22 cal hexagonal barrel 1873 models not an expert just an amature relic/artifact hunter of sorts in spare time.

That is actually a small one the others were much larger.

Tony Beets had an operating one on Gold Rush about 5 years ago.

His dredge is on next weeks show.

They were running it through the wash plant.

@@exploringabandonedmines I meant where they tore up the road in town in the first drone shot of Dawson.

It was built for TV. I am glad they did rebuild it, I think it was the best thing on Gold Rush!

No just pictures

Hello again when my girl friend and I went we walked in the main door we Both had a starage feeling and later about an HR later we found out why we had that strange feeling 🤔 100 o/o all true check it out🤔 now we have a tag lock safety programs in most of the world 🙏 be safe and wise.your video is 100 o/o Great .

Thanks for the info!

Yes they are.

They were really nice to us. They live there year round and make all their money from Gold mining not producing TV shows and doing a little mining in the summer. They are real Gold miners.

About 80 lbs.

@@exploringabandonedmines Thank much for letting me know. Peace. VF

@@exploringabandonedmines If I would need a huge tusk specimen I know the man to call for sure !!!!!! VF

They almost always did

Some were hooked to shore power others were steam powered.

@@wyomarine6341 you are very correct, I apologize for my wrong identification not sure why I thought it was Latifronds, I know the difference... Maybe my haste in writing my comment, I was at brake at work and didn't have much time to put much thought into it. Thank you for the proper info...

6,000 Psi at the nozzle is what he told me.

@@exploringabandonedmines He probably meant 600 max. Six thousand is way way higher than the piping could take as it looks like aluminum type. Thanks you Frank for your sincerity and honesty on the show. That is why you are successful on RU-vid. Please keep the shows coming. Peace, VF

We visited 5 of them some were wood fired and ran on steam some were electric.

No they already got the Gold out of the tailings,

@@exploringabandonedmines dam was just going to book my flight over and start panning the tailings

There could be but they would likely be buried. You might get lucky with a metal detector!

It is amazing less grey in the beard and feel younger every year!

The line is probably less than that. The nozzle pressure is 6,000 according to the operator.

DJI Phantom 4

They dig a pond around it and fill it full of water. As the dredge moves forward the pond moves with it.

I would love to see one running!

We have seen both types in the Yukon. This one was steam powered.

Good question I don't know, but they all seem to be.

Not that I know of. I have seen similar for sale in stores around Dawson City.

You can't take them out of the Yukon without a permit.

@@exploringabandonedmines oh ok, that makes since.

The placer mining in Dawson covers a fairly small area less than 100 square miles.

nothing is permanent, nature will always reclaim it back. Dinosaur bones were not lying in modern topsoil, if you if you know what i mean...

@@exploringabandonedmines And there's a settling pond. Where there's a settling pond there's recoverable organics and I'm sure that much later on those cuts are going to get covered. Also... permafrost zone, it's not exactly like future farmland is destroyed or there was some incredible biodiversity in a climate zone that's liable to freeze solid for better than half the year. Harrick sounds like the people whinging about trampling into the vast mud plains in the Alaskan north...

@@holisti Top soil over the thousands of years keeps growing IF PLANT LIFE AND ~ GROWTH MAINTAINS IN THAT PLACE. Not when it is permanently made impossible be cause the necessary conditions are destroyed. In that case it has to start building up from scratch again, starting with micro - and very small organisms. Now sometimes SOME fertile soil (organic materials, plant rests) may form new small layers if wind and/or water can carry out that way. But that is nothing in comparison, age in this case the subsoil is completely WASHED, even water soluble minerals are wasted. Furthermore whether or not rain, hail, snow will fall in a larger area (as well as the presence of moisture in the local atmosphere) also depend mostly on the presence of plant life there as (besides keeping the fertile soil from being eroded away (washed, blown by the wind) the fauna maintains and manages water, and be cause of the evaporation that it causes, maintains and makes more steady by holding reserves - everything plants manage underground happens through the collective root systems of trees, bushes and all other plants of course - Life's very possibility to maintain with that depends on the very presence of plane life, it is like a cyclic thing, everything in the process both depends on its other aspects and takes care of them. That being said, I would not call a hundred square miles small scale, that is a huge area. The point is that on every (square) meter mankind claims, we are usually killing each and every thing that lives on that amount of surface. Plants and animals 'individually', and with the vast amount of direct surface we claim, tens of not hundreds of thousands of miles asphalted, turned into cities of concrete and stone, plus our influence through chemical products and waste and exhausts, complete species overall, hundreds of 'wild' (solemnly naturally evolved) species disappear every year. Whether it is nowadays with parking lots and for instance concrete high-rises or long time ago millions of square kilometers over the span of centuries by 'the' faraos, who created complete deserts the size of a subcontinent building pyramids (their megalomaniac own superstructure, ones that did not even serve much of any function!) the destruction and devastation humans cause is usually to a great extent irreversible. If it is reversible, it will take so much time, we likely won't be there to enjoy it when recovery has started to come around. No, we are a plague, body, and we don't need to destroy some pristine woods for a bit of gold, there's enough ways to get to it that do not cut into our overall source of life that deeply, and that so not involve making it suffer such great losses. No, I maintain that 'mining' this way is a blunt way to operate. We at least need more intelligent and considerate ways to approach it, which usually requires more work, more effort. If we cannot figure out a far better way to do it, we simply should not touch it.

Always one of these in every crowd.. Go away.
