Drywashing for Gold in Utah 

Hey man! Looks like you are on the Yuba this year! Best of luck! Big nuggets to ya!

@@GoldPanDann yes sir!! 20 days to go baby

@@VendettaProspecting That's exciting! Lots of gold in there!

It is a lot of work, but if it were easy, gold wouldn't be worth anything. :)

It's been fairly lucrative for a Utah spot! Thanks for watching!

Haha my wife said the same thing when I was editing it! 🤣

Pretty much everywhere in the south and western part of the state is too dry for anything else. Occasional wet winters provide enough water to run a small sluice or recirculating highbanker. I know of someone who classifies material through screens and takes the material home to run in a highbanker. They don't quite trust that a drywasher saves all the gold, which it might not keep very fine stuff, but it sure is a lot less work than hauling buckets home!

I normally would, but I accidentally left it at home. Haha! Thanks for watching!

Yes I do! It doesn't hurt to be sure. I may not run everything twice, but a majority I do, especially while I'm adjusting angle and air flow. After I hand pan I'll put all my concentrates that came out of the pan into a bucket and run it through a recirculating cleanup setup at home as well. Don't forget to detect your larger rocks too! If a nugget was on that side, most any decent detector should pick it up! (sorry bounty hunter metal detectors) Thank you for your question and watching my videos!

Haha! A vacuum could have helped as well!

I live in Utah and travel. Thanks for asking!

Hilarious how you ask that on everyones videos. 🤣

It's worth a shot.​@@schristiansen3151

Yeah, I do cut out a lot of stuff as it is, but I do need to trim it more to hold better attention. Thanks for watching and I'll do my best to reduce the less entertaining parts.

It is BLM, but a private claim I was granted access to. This video is not on a club claim like some of my older videos.

Ok thanks, heavy pans

This is southern Utah.

I dont do it for the money. I sometimes say value for the audience. I do it to get out in the great outdoors!

I have looked at geological surveys, mining reports, books about Utah mining districts, books about prospecting in Utah, and word of mouth information from old miners. I am always looking for new information and new places to go. Thanks for your comment!

@@GoldPanDann 👍👍👍. have a good day.
