Crevicing Bedrock for Glacial Till Gold in Connecticut - Gold Panning Instructional Video 

Thanks for encouraging our Nutmeg Prospectors to pan locally. Anyone in Ct is welcome to join us. We have 6 outings each year.

Props to Aries for sporting the Yung Lean concert hoodie.

I’m from Harwinton. That’s my main mining spot haha. Right under that bridge i found a piece of wire gold so there is native gold In the area. Lots of interesting history regarding gold prospecting and treasure in the area. If your ever back let me know. I can bring you to some other spots on lead mine brook too!

Just found you 2 days ago but have been bingeing ever since. Awesome content.

That's awesome your daughter gets out there with you. Can't wait to see if my little girl is going to be interested in building cars with her old man. Your lucky dude.

Love the Father/Daughter time you guys spend. Thanks for the video.

Can’t believe you as an avid outdoorsman have never had morel mushrooms! Soo glad you enjoyed them! I’m from Gettysburg Pa and We used to hunt then when I was a kid it’s been awhile I need to get out this coming year!

I grew up in new Britain CT till I moved to my reservation in Maine would love to see whats around me here though keep it up

Great Vid! Keep Up the Good Work!

great video Shane, really like to see families doing these things together, keep them coming cheers

Great video Shane !!

The best part.of this entire thing is....look I see a squirrel!

Just came across this video. I grew up in Harwinton on a dairy farm about quarter mile from there…looks like Swimming Hole Rd. We used to play down there when we were kids and many years before that, folks used to jump off the bridge into the swimming hole but they filled it in so can’t do that anymore 😢Thanks for the video very cool to see as I don’t live there anymore

Nice doing your favorite hobby and sharing moments with people you love! Thanks for your video, man.

Very cool man! I’m born and raised in Ct and I think your video was just overall a great video and you seem to be a great father! 👍🏻

Connecticut is also famous for their chalcocite’s (copper sulfide mineral) the best specimens for the longest time came from Bristol, Connecticut!

Only found you last night; I find this very interesting now

Enjoyed the video, 👍👍 keep up the good work 👍👍 happy travels 🌞

Wow! Your channel kind of exploded the last week! Awesome videos, I’ve been binge watching for the last couple of days! Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴

I am glad I stumbled on this video! I am from CT myself. I have always heard that a glacier ran over us, but never had anything in school that taught us about it. I just happened to stumble upon Jeff Williams on RU-vid the other day, I am sure you are familiar with him. That led me to here. I went to a military surplus store yesterday that happened to have some gold pans, so I figured what the hell, I'll buy one and give it a whirl. I am in a position now where my wife is making enough money at her job that I can try to get back into RU-vid and find something I actually enjoy. This year, I intend on doing a good bit of motorcycle camping, so I am hoping to explore, maybe find some gemstones, and of course, have a miserable time at trying to gold pan! Thanks for the video!

Another great video for all of us to enjoy...ty for taking us along

Found your channel today! Really enjoy it!

Too fun! Glad you were able to spend that time with your daughter outdoors. I took the wife on a 25th wedding anniversary trip to Arkansas several weeks ago. Hit Crater of Diamonds, a local crystal mine, a bunch of sites in Hot Springs. Great time! Now back home in Michigan and trying to get outside to do some panning for the fine stuff! If/when you get the chance to get over here, the prime spot for treasure hunting is the Upper Peninsula. You would be amazed at the entire Northern section of the upper peninsula from Copper Harbor (aptly named) to Pictured Rocks and Tahquamenon Falls. Petoskey stones, puddin stones, copper, and flour gold on the beaches of Lake Superior. Hit me up if you can schedule a trip to the U.P. in the late summer, early fall! BTW - you need to get a still shot of the gold in that pan - all we saw was green....

Awesome seeing you at 30k just last week & now at 43k nice! Good stuff😊

GREAT TEAM THERE. GLAD Y'ALL FOUND SOME GOLD. THANKS FOR SHARING.

All right man!! Loved the Video!!

Nice, well done matey

Very cool to watch you so close to my area. Nice video

From southern CT. Very inspired! I already own some pans, but just was never sure exactly what to do!

Awesome little trip to that river with your daughter...It's cool she wants to learn how to pan and get in on that action...Garnets are always nice...they were hard to see from this end though...larger ones are harder to find so nice score there, most of the ones I find aren't very big...Can't wait for your next video...Have a good one 👍

Awesome Klesh!

really enjoyed that you and your daughter had so much fun in beautiful conn.

Shane, I commented once before on this vid when you first posted it. Like I said in that post, I am from Connecticut, not far from Harwington, and we were there visiting family recently. With not alot to do due to obvious reasons, I brought my gold panni g gear on the trip and did some prospecting over to Coppermine Creek, which is not far from where you and your daughter were in the video. In 2 days, (about 3 hrs each day), between me and my son, we got almost 1/8th of an ounce of gold out of the creek. My son planned out one decent sized 'almost' a micro picker and the rest between us was a little bigger than flour gold. I have heard stories of small nuggets being found on the Creek but like I said, stories. Not many people prospect there anymore as alot of the Coppermi e area and where you were is actually private property. Anyway, once again, thank you for coming here. Now for me, back in New York...where it is actually illegal to prospect for gold or silver due to an old law from the 1800s that says any and all gold or silver found even on private property belongs to the State. Big time B.S.

In Roxbury, CT you can walk on Mine Hill Rd which is a dirt road and pick up garnet. There’s also Mine Hill preserve where they used to mine iron.

Great to see you and your daughter having an awesome time together. You both have good genes. Enjoyed the video as usual. ATB

It’s good to spend time with family.. especially outdoors 👍

Can’t wait for Washington! With you through the whole ride 💪🏼

Thankx bro❤

Enjoying your fifty states of treasure hunting. Garnets and gold, they seem to go well together. Great job. See you in Massachusetts.

Awesome video, congrats on your daughters first gold!

Love these 50 States vids. Can't wait to see your next offering. Oh, I just found out tonight, a nugget called "The Hand of Faith" was found in the golden triangle in Victoria and weighed over 800 troy ounces. I really really need to find it's mummy!!! Cheers Shane & Aries :)

I just read about this place. Im like 30 minutes away. THinking about going to pan some gold here soon! I could spend months doing this. Never tried yet, but want to do it so bad.

Great work Shane.. I have cousins in Connecticut. Hard work gold panning.. Cheers Famo59.👍🤓🍺⛏

Nice work mate 👊🏻🤠👍🏻

Great video Shane! I know it's been awhile but was that creek in Harwinton Conservation and Recreation Area? Thx!!!

Let’s go Klesh it’s so good to see you get so many subs! You deserve it! When will you be visiting Florida ?

Lot of work when you love the hobby.

Yayyyyyyyy u actually came

Shane, that's pretty awesome that your kid joins you on your adventures!

Lovely garnets, Shane, and you taught your daughter well to pan.

Shane your popularity is soaring mate 44k it's the educational aspect of the vid

I've been working a brook in MA, going to make a pvc sucker tube for the weekend.

Looking forward to what you do in Vermont and Florida. I’m originally from Vermont and have heard rumors that there’s gold in Vermont. I know there was a huge glacier that moved thru there millions f years ago. And I live In Florida now, near the naval academy and there’s a lot of great wreck diving in the area and a lot of old buildings so metal detecting could be fun. Loving the series!

Nice adventure, this new camera is really clear.

Stumbled across your channel and now I am watching about my home state. I grew up around there and you didn't have a long drive to get to Mass. There were some really awesome geode spots a little south of you. They have Apophyllite & Prehnite in them if I looked it up correctly. I have a really big one I got from an electrical job I did. I know there are some more gemstone sites around the state that I have wanted to hit.

you guys shldve went gemstone n mineral hunting here in CT! we have a ton of beautiful gemstones n crystals

Nice

Nice runes brother skål!

Beautiful stream. It sure looked cold.

Wish I found your channel a months ago! I live directly between 47th street and Harwinton in an 1810 farmhouse with a rubble stone foundation. We’ve detected the area with a very cheap radio shack detector and found horse shoes and a pistol handle. Would have loved to host you for a search!

Also nice instructional video on panning and crevices

Nice that your daughter spent some time with you. Good video and instruction.

Wish we could post pics here. We killed it this weekend here in Illinois. You already know I wanna see you around here soon buddy 👍👍

I'm looking forward to seeing your Massachusetts video. It'll be cool to see where you prospect in my State. Western Ma is probably the right area for real prospecting but that's a guess. Keep up the awesome videos! I watch every week.

I would like to know if you got a permit from the state or the land’s owner before going panning. I live in ny and would love to go with my kids to explore and enjoy a new experience.

I SUBSCRIBED!!👍👍👍👍

I’d love to find out what road this is off of, it would be interesting to check this spot out seeing that it can’t be more than 15 minutes away from home.

😂🤣😂 fuck that lol. Thanks for the vid and thanks for visiting Ct though. make sure to pay the governor on the way out for the spec you found here. He’ll want his cut.

Green mill run in NC has some decent Fossil hunting for things like shark teeth. Its no secret, but its interesting to say the least.

Great memories.. I love it when my kids join in..

Heyy thanks for this video of my homeland. My lady and I are hitting (at this point) random streams in NW CT for that extra fine gold. This video has been inspirational to us. Stay well! P. S. CT is great for historic metal detecting and garnet hunting. Lmk if you want some info!

That shirt is awesome

You’ve inspired me man. New Hampshire.

Hello you are the best youtuber ever

There are many gold mines in ct at least 2 of them i know of many claims in rte 8 corridor

Grew up in Bristol connecticut (few towns over from harwinton. Never knew there was gold there. I am actually heading back home on Friday so I am definitely planning on bringing the kids to this area and give it a shot. Only place I have been prospecting is Coker creek in eastern Tennessee. Going to email you to see if you can help me out with a decent location.

keep it up man ime heading out to ready creek vic try get the gold you missed when you were out here mate ha ha

In southern Louisiana where i live we have some good places to hunt for relics and north Louisiana has opals.

Sweet adventure gold so cool be safe thank u

it'll be cool to see the washington state video, we do have gold around here somewhere and plenty of land to metal detect

I live in the Valley of Ct., but head around that ay every few weeks for work. May bring a pan and try some on streams out that way! Thanks for the videos, and just subbed!

You should visit some famous beach before summer to find jewelry and coins!

*Do you plan on coming to Kentucky? If so, when and where? I'd like to try some panning myself, but really don't know where to go in KY!* *Also I'm a guitar player myself, almost 20yrs!*

you should come down to Saskatchewan and look on one of our many reserves because there is lots of old stuff i find when im not even looking [probably some gold too

Man, I've always wanted to do this! I think I'm going to order a metal detector, as well as some panning gear, and start a few new hobbies. 👍

My home state/ Connecticut new London

I would have had a hard time walking away from those crumbly quartz crevices! Garnets and flour gold just laying there waiting for the right person! It was a nice video Thanks!

Just found your channel and wish I had known of you sooner especially before this video I live in Harwinton CT would have been cool to meet you plus I could have shown you some of the local area.

Awesome daddy daughter outing loved it klesh

You 2 make a great team go team Klesh #Kleshguitarmy

For river mining you have to at least dig 5 ft before you start seeing big colors at least in BC that’s somewhat the case

Come to Louisiana, we have a lot of rivers and artifacts and would probably be worth something something lol

Is this river called lead mine brook, Harwington CT

"Oh look, a squirrel"...not sure where you are now but if you come towards Plainfield on the northeast side of CT I can show you a few places for metal detecting Civil War and Revolutionary War camps.

there is a large old copper mine (the mine is filled in but there is still tons of copper there)up here in Vermont that has a lot of quartz in it as well so if you think you might gets a video out of that some how let me know

I’m pretty sure you live in Colorado if you do go to the Poutre river there is a lot of cool thing and maybe some gold

Shane, can you please let us know what the name of the creek is you were in? Thank you.

Gotta love flour gold gold is gold

For Washington state, you should look up the little town of liberty. There is a man in that town with a RU-vid channel named Rob Repin, that is also his RU-vid channel as well. He hasn't uploaded in a long time. But you would probably like his video "the patato patch".

I'm in ct myself looking for places to go but I doubt there is anything good. Just stuck buying paydirt.
