American Gold Prospectors Paydirt - Nome, Alaska 

Do you prefer the long format (this video), or the short 10-15 minute (more edited) versions better?

Hey Shane, I can honestly say that I enjoyed the longer video. I actually got to see some of the process that I was missing on the faster videos. I know that some people want you to just jump to the end but for me I love the longer video. Happy hunting and congrats on the home.

definitely DEFINITELY prefer the long format. This format is far more interesting, and your comments, which would have been cut out in a shorter format were quite informative. There's a time when the short format - a 'quick-n-dirty' panning where the short format would be fine, and one like this... every step of the entire process was worth watching!

I’m glad you did an extended version. For those of us who have never done it before (live in Louisiana), it is helpful to see exactly how long it takes to separate and pan each classification. It’s also helpful to see how hard you pan into the water and swing the material back. Now, with that being said, I wouldn’t want to see EVERY video made like this. But it was nice to see a difficult one. Maybe do one with an easier paydirt and a medium one? I lived in Alaska for about 5 years and never went gold panning…wish I would have, but I was too busy fishing lolol

You’re the Bob Ross of gold panning. Love the long format!

I prefer the long version imo, especially for the difficult paydirt panning for those who don't can always watch at 2x speed , looks like I'm a 42%er, thanks for the entertainment Shane 👍 !

It is probably just as much of a stress reliever to watch your videos as it is to pan the gold! I like the longer episodes.

I enjoyed the longer format, gave me a deeper understanding of the process for when I try my hand at gold panning some day, thanks for the awesome content!!

I definitely liked the longer video, but that’s just me. Awesome stuff Shane! P.S. congrats on the house!

Klesh the longer the better I like watching your shows

I prefer long. These videos are my therapy. Thanks Klesh.

Hey Shane, okay here we go.. enjoy the long videos along with the one with the shorter videos, congratulations on the house, the narration is perfect as yoy explain to everyone some the tricks that you would normally be missed on some of the shorter videos and for those less experienced it helps exponentially. Thank you for helping me get through another hour-and-a-half of quarantine.👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇲

I have to thank you!! It has been years since I’ve been out gold panning. I started watching your videos and they reminded me of what I am missing. I showed my teen age son your videos and he really wants to go out panning too. In the spring, we are going to start gold panning on weekends together. This will be a great bonding hobby for us!! Thanks again, Dale W.

Like the longer format. Appreciate your commentary and discussion while panning.

There’s something so relaxing and intriguing about watching these videos. Maybe it’s the music but it’s very addictive. This dude really knows his stuff. It’s so funny when he just throws the bag in the pan.

Really enjoyed this long format dude. Saw a lot that I would ordinarily fill in the blanks myself e.g. seeing surfactant in action, seeing gold get caught up in wet magnetite. Awesome work 🙌

Getting a longterm space to yourself is key for creativity, can’t wait to see more on gold and potentially wood+gold ?✌️you’re awesome

I definitely like the longer videos! I get to see more of the process, and as a beginner, that's key. I also appreciate your commentary throughout. Good luck on the home purchase!

Definitely enjoy the longer video man. It’s nice to kind of get the “behind the scenes” feeling compared to your other videos. Great video Shane!

So relieving watching all your vids, love you talking thruout, shows your personal view points! Filming most awesome, more , please!! Yes seen your guitar repair vids too! I'm old... Longer the better that's why we watch them, we want it that way, long long long

I always prefer the longer format things, I tend to watch your vids while i'm at work on another monitor so I enjoy them

I like both but as we get more I'd stay for the longer video. please keep narrating I really enjoy listening to you talk about what your doing and why. thank you for all the great videos

Definitely appreciate the longer video. Great stress relief

I’ve come full circle now. This is the first gold panning video I ever watched. I just panned my third, fourth, and fifth bags of Klesh products yesterday, and I am HOOKED! I love it. So relaxing. I needed this in my life right now and I can’t thank Klesh enough for introducing me to it! Klesh Krumbs are awesome little bags by the way! I’ve done the Krums, the beginner bag and the gold strike bag. I’ve yet to be disappointed by a Klesh bag or a GoldNuggetSales bag. Love em both! 💪🤩🤩

The longer your videos, the better...2 hours isn't enough! Keep them coming!

I love the longer format stuff. Thanks Shane! I remember when this channel was still Klesh Guitars. Don't remember when I subbed to you but it was a LONG time ago.

Some Nice chunky gold in there! Bryan rocks! would be very interested to see a review of Yukon Ali pay dirt as well. Great vid!

Love the longer videos and love seeing the sluice box working. Thanks for the awesome videos.

Thumbs up to longer videos. Don’t cut anything out. We can always double tap the right hand edge to jump 10 seconds at a time if we want to. Great video. I’m imagining buying gifts for my nieces and nephews. What fun!

Appreciate the longer videos as it shows the real effort that goes into panning. Very relaxing and educational as well as entertaining.

It is almost as relaxing to watch you pan and talk as it is for me to pan a paydirt, definatly like the longer format!

Can definitely say you helped me find a hobby i love and get through this pandemic. Thank you!

Dude, I love the longer videos! Perfectly wonderful. I could watch this for hours haha!

Great vid. Definitely enjoyed the longer format and the talking about the process you do. Can't wait for the next one.

I've been watching you for 2 years. I appreciate you. Thanks!!!!

Congrats, that's great news, I'm excited to see what's to come in the future. I enjoy the long format videos and listening to you talking along the way too.

I enjoy your videos anyway so the longer they are then the more I can watch. Keep em' coming.

Shane, your videos are amazing. When I was in the hospital in early 2020, not from covid, your coin search live streams gave me so much to listen to while resting. Listening to you talk and the sound of the coins hitting the table and being slid into the box was the best white noise. Thank you for them! I want as much Klesh content as you can stand making. More long videos would be great. Thanks!

Another awesome pay dirt review thanks Shane I needed that, as far as length do you man we will watch

Watching the longer format helps show the difficulty of panning the flower gold, enjoyed watching

I really appreciated seeing more of the process. I actually enjoy the educational aspect of longer videos because it means you didn’t have to rush an as a novice, I can observe more nuances to the skills needed to prospect…even at home!

Love your work! So relaxing! Keep the longer videos.

Never thought gold panning asmr would be a thing but ya know what i love it

I really enjoyed watching the extended version which helped me catch some of the subtleties in your technique. I enjoy hearing you talk through what you are doing, but I will watch the videos however they're presented all the way through. Thank you!

Just watching you pan and with background music and verbal sharing is awesome Klesh thank you for your time and channels

The longer videos feel much more personal and grounded to your original content that we fell in love with

I enjoy the longer format and with you talking in it and thanks for sharing your videos with us ..

Loving the Lloonnggeerr version a lot more Shane and to be greeted with a golden smile like that at the end, takes your breath away

Aloha Shane. I'm retired. And proud of it. I learned from you and others to use patience. So, I do. Surviving on the Island here taught me to go easy. So, I do. I have more time than money. And, I ain't in no rush. I've gotten maybe 5 paydirt bags from dealers you've tested and show good 👍 ROI. Mahalo for the heads up on the good dealers. You showed me to deal with the better, more generous ones. I am the customer they need. I am the customer that has more lava than Gold in his/her State. I am an apartment Gold Panner. And proud of it. Thanks for the realization that we all can pan Gold at all income levels. So, I do. I enjoy the stories you tell here and there. Good filler for the long version you do. Laters.

Your show brings back the memories of summers in the early 70's when I was panning in Clear Creek. I'm now living just south of the Bendigo gold fields.

All your videos are great. Really enjoyed the section on you panning the fine floor gold.

Yes your longer format vids are great and good luck with your woodworking projects Shane.

Thank you for all of your videos. I especially enjoyed this longer video. Definitely continue talking and teaching in your videos. Your videos and your voice are very very stress relieving. Watching and listening to you pan has helped me through several stressful times. Love the background guitar riffs. Thank you klesh!

I am a fan of the longer vids Shane👌🏻 Thanks for sharing⛏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Loving the longer videos, Shane Always great content

Yes the long format is great two more of these these are very entertaining I love the long format thanks for bringing it on do more please

Thank you for taking me through out the entire process. I like the longer, more relaxed coffee chat format.

Gratz on getting your new house man! Enjoy watching your content and can’t wait for more. Dig deep and heavy pans brother 👍

That's a great value!! American Gold Prospectors and Klesh!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Love you man following you from last 5 years i really enjoy your videos...🥰 Please dont stop making videos really really love them looking forward to meet you one day!!

This was a great video for "the process". Watched it all and learned a couple of tricks. Thanks Tim V.

As someone that has never panned,i really enjoyed this longer version format,I have seen lots of panning videos..but its always ..yeah yeah just pan it..what they don't show are the subtleties and touch you need to ( especially on the very fine concentrates) to get all the gold you can..excellent job you just got yourself a new subscriber

I love the longer format and the talking, I also LOVE the calming guitar you have in the background. It’s honestly something I can’t get enough of

Love the longer format, always fun to watch gold appearing. Thanks for sharing. It will be nice for you to have space for all your hobbies, sounds like fun times head.

I like the longer format although I would watch either format. I like hearing you explain what is in the pan as you find gold.

Liked the longer format too! I found it to be very relaxing, watching you pan all the classifications. Thanks!

I like the longer format and your instructions are both welcome and complete. Ty

One of your best ! The long format with your comments helps to understand the process much better. Thank you.

Congratulations on the new home! Enjoyed the longer format.

Great review. Long or short I watch all your videos. Thanks for sharing Shane⚒⚒👍👍

Thank you for the long format. loved seeing you do the flour gold as I have often wondered if I was missing part of the process. Great job. Nice to hear you talk along the way. Keep up the GREAT work.

Great watch. Congrats on the purchase. Looking forward to the future!

That looked like a awesome bag of dirt Dude! I love it when you got to take your time and pan slowly!

great day panning fam. keep on having fun getting that AU fam. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!

Congrats on your home, just discovered your channel. And yes continue talking through your videos. It makes it easier to learn from your experience

I like you explaining the process and thinking of the paydirt as you are working it.

Really enjoy the longer format and the conversation is entertaining and adds flavor to the panning

Klesh, I really enjoyed the longer format, keeps me interested on how you classify, stratify, and find the gold, great job.

Congrats on the new house Shane! My wife and I just built our house. It was super stressful, but with it in the end. Blessing to you.

I enjoy all of your reviews....but I do watch when I can during my lunch breaks.

This is the most detailed video of yours I've ever seen...super fine media on that last wash/ rinse...a fun bag.. waiting on the full outcome - value etc !

Thank you again Shane

Hi Kleshgold love the long format great very informative

I enjoyed both formats man, I say do what you do best, we'll all enjoy each video you put out. Much love from Michigan, Peculiar Prospector

The sense of calm that your longform videos give is great, your voice and the music are very soothing. Thumbs up for longer vids and congratulations and good luck on the new house. Exciting times

Always enjoy what you do, very relaxing videos! Keep up the good work! Personally I enjoy the talking, the shirt videos, the long videos you do you and I'll keep watching

Great video yet again Shane, keep them coming !! also I do enjoy the longer version over the short sped up version

Definitely like the longer format video, and love the commentary along with it!💯🇺🇲

Enjoy the long format very much. You explain things very well, but it is nice to see it in action

that was bloody awesome to watch Shane :) with not so many cuts :) brilliant thanks for posting like this :)

The long format is much better! I put some of your videos on as I study or do homework, appreciate the great work!

Love your videos. I definitely prefer the longer format. In this video i saw the Jet Dry in action for the first time (after hearing you talk about it hundreds of times). That was super cool. Like to hear your input and thinking out loud a bit. I think it helps novice gold-panners like myself know what's going through your mind, and why you're doing what you're doing. Keep up the good work. Congrats on the house.

Love the more info and longer videos!! And the talking is great, luckily you have a great voice!

loved watching the whole process

Very much enjoyed the long , informative video!! Seeing everyone doing the fast forward and cut always, I forget how long it really takes to pan!!

Congratulations on the new house, cannot wait to see the new shop set up.

Hey Klesh,I really love the long version video especially the black sand separation near the end! good to see you again this week! Happy panning from GB Wisconsin.

Hey Shane. I liked this video. I liked watching you sift and pan the sand to get to the gold. When you explained about your old guitar 🎸 build and repair shop finally explained why the channel was know as Klesh guitars. Good luck with the future of your channel.

Blue bowl comes in really handy at the end to get rid of most of the black sand.

What s great tutorial. Thankyou. You left no stone unturned.very enjoyable process.God bless your future plans.
