Finding Big Gold In A Massive Dried Culvert Pipe! 

I’d be back the next day with a wheelbarrow and a small sluice set up in the creek, lol

Found more gold in the culvert than Tod Hoffman did In Alaska . . . lol

never underestimate the usefulness of a bucket lol

Since I'm old and disabled, I'll never have a chance to prospect.., but! I've found that we do have a connection --- brothers in a sense! As you wash away the black sand from the corner of your pan, I'm reminded that I do the same --- several times a day! That is exactly how I get the last of my coffee... separating the good stuff from the grounds! 😁☕☕☕☕🥴

Where I lived in California all you have do to find gold is locate the largest patch of poison oak infested Blackberrys and get to work! Seriously though I'll never forget the look on my 5 year olds face when he said "there's one" and picked a nugget out of my pan. You can't get those moments back. Wait his daughter just turned 3!

In that first pan, when you showed the gold, there were several pieces stuck in the very outer edge of the pan, aka you def lost some in the river. You should pan over a large container so you don't loose anything!! Great spot btw!

I would eat, sleep and work that place until I had every stone turned over.

I would get a trailer and haul the most as possible and as quick as possible.

I would just take 5 gallon buckets and remove all of the material in the pipe.

I'd be vacuuming out those riffles in the culvert that DON'T have gravel in them.

That's amazing! I wonder where the source is. As chunky looking as that gold is, it couldn't be much further upstream. That culvert's a perfect location for using a wet classifier like the goldslinger. You bring your water with you and you classify it down to your desired size as it washes off all of the rocks of any specs of gold. You can go through that whole culvert.

PLEASE tell us you’re gonna go back and clean out that entire culvert! And please show us all the gold at the end. Please.

Man you guys are so blessed to have areas like that to go prospect in..... I'm out in the desert in El Paso Texas and I head out to nm sometimes....I finally found some exposed bedrock that wasn't mined by the old timers and took a few samples but no gold like that..... yet lol....I always watch your videos and you guys always find good gold.....knowledge is power and you make that obvious

A pipe dream that panned out (pardon the pan). Please post a video when you go back there and clean it out properly.

I watched your other video in this culvert about 2 weeks ago, and I had always wondered if the ribs of the culvert would trap gold, but I had never heard of anyone checking it out. Now, I wonder what the BC laws are on cleaning out the culvert, when it's dry, with a vac truck. The vac truck wouldn't even have to be one of the big ones we use here in Alberta, in the patch, just a little single axel 3-ton type, but you could suck up everything that fits through a 4" hose then take it home and run it through a sluice. That would of course work even better if the truck had a small wash unit on it as well...

you should never wait to do something when hunting for gems or gold. someone else will step in and do it for you.

I've often thought about checking out these pipes. Great results 👍🏻⚒🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

My relatives come out and visit and always want to go out with me since I live in the high desert (western Mohave) where there’s lots of gold… and when I visited them last time in Ohio I showed them they had gold too… granted I had to get the geological maps to map out the glacial shield moraines to focus where I would take them to look since I had limited time… but they were tripping out when they found out they had some rather decent gold locally. Naturally it’s not the quantity we can get out here but nonetheless it peaked their interest and now they’re looking at some small high-banker and small dredges :)

Nice to see the gold...not just the mineralizations on logging roads. I understand the need for the technical stuff but it gets a bit stuffy/boring after a while.😁🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦

I think you should go in with a shop vac and a small portable generator. Empty all the grooves. Maybe mine those culverts every 3-4 years. Or maybe even every season.

The first half of the year have been tough and mostly influenced and manipulated by the fear of missing out "FOMO" pushing most investors to dumping of assets, with many achievements not met yet. The race to financial freedom, sustainability and flexibility begins right now.

Damn! Makes me wish you guys had a 5 gallon bucket to get more material out of there

Sick! I didn't think you'd find that much at all! Wishing ya luck hunting the source of that goodness.

I'd start workin' it 5 gallon pail at a time!

Wow! Awesome gold in there. I wouldn’t stop until that culvert was clean. Of course that’s a lot of work but… I just couldn’t imagine leaving any behind.

You are tapping a primary concentrator in that culvert. Of course you get lots of black sand and the ribbed texture of the culvert is essentially a sluice box. Waiting for rain is a two edged sword as the accessibility of water is handy, but the downside is that water facilitates the escape of gold. Personally, I would be identifying the location of every large culvert in that area and campaigning it, but that is just me.

Take some of the dirt home,pan it there.Enjoyed the youtube.We donot have gold in TX.:)

Gold rides an Iron horse through a Quartz crystal valley. Sometimes the gold gets off the horse and swims through a culvert 👍 great find guys!

Great work panning fam. Gold squad out!!!

Awesome guys. I love panning covert dirt it's my favorite found lots of gold that way.

Watching you pan with that square thing takes the pleasure out of watching this vid.

Maybe a small sluce box in the creek. A bunch of buckets. Finish with a shop vac and generator.

dude, monster gold pans, it shows you do your research and hard work to get at it like that, good job boys

Awesome! You need to work that pipe to the point its clean to eat off :D Nice yellows

Anyone else get the sudden erg too start culverting !

Love to see what you found going back to this culvert.

man I would love to find an old drainage pipe used to divert streams coming off a mountain lol awesome guys I love it i never even thought about that. the ridges in the pipe acting as riffles in a gold pan. or a natural sluice

Bring your buckets to the gold. Use a portable vac and a wire brush. Don't forget the beer cooler.

How about a video where you go back to this location and run all the material? Or have you already. Interested to see if you’ve found the source yet as well. I need some more placer content. As well as results from your prospecting and testing.

Should get yourself some round pans with classifier screens. Can process out the big rocks fast with less chance of gold getting away

Some of the best gold we've ever found was in a culvert outside of Truth or Consequences, NM. Took a week off from work to get it all.

That was some good panning bro! Great find!

I definitely would turn into Golum and start whispering, "my precious," and fight anyone who got close! 🤣

Amazing looking for gold my Kanada's friend 👍 thank for your information My friend how find gold in this location 👍 greeting from your Indonesian traditional gold finder friend,⚒️⛏️🍁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇲🇨✋👍

1st pan “no bad, at all” he says.......meanwhile I have to drywash about 50 buckets of desert dirt to see that much! I wouldnt leave that spot until I panned every speck of dirt from that pjpe!

Take a garden rake to that culvert when there is trickle flowing. You can quickly classify out all the bigger rocks and the light sand at the same time. Be interesting to know how long the culvert has been in place? Could you estimate the rate of gold movement downstream?

Interesting pan design. But, next time take a tub and/or a bucket, and make your own panning pool nearby!?!? :D Good Gold, Good Gold, yes, your such a Good Gold!!

I always final-panned above another pan to catch flour gold that slips by.

Just came across your channel! Nice vid👍🏻 That’s me subscribed⛏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Man you're tempting me to take a trip to a really long culvert I know about!

why is gold soooooo beautiful. I gotta buy more before prices go up. I got some silver and gold locked in my safe, but I need more lol.

Nice gold. Clean that whole culvert out and get a ounce

Nice gold but I am not digging that pan. Seems more like a toy or a “as seen on TV” gadget. It’s hard to revolutionize something that’s so simple in form, a round pan, they’ve been battle tested and proven for centuries.

That culvert is like big sluess machine. You should bring in a sluess machine and do every ridge in that culvert.

That was such a cool and educational experience.

Holy cats that’s some nice gold there.

Very nice looking candy thanks for taking us along.

You should have had a mini sluice box to run it all. (GOLD)

I’ve been checking culverts since the first time you did this. Another good one. Thanks

Looks like a culvert is a nice low tech sluce to indicate and lead to what's above. Well done.

Giant culvert in texas where there is no placer gold yeilds gold jewelry quite often.

Love looking for gold in culvert ,but very cautious about doing so now as to the fact that the last culvert I was attempting to remove the few top inches of overburden , and noticed a rotted section in the middle of the pipe when I guess the scraping noise made me 6 ft long rattlesnake come to ask me what the hell exactly did I think I was doing lol be careful guys, good luck

Some people talk\mention dry panning out the coarser material , then carry it to water . Or bring 10 to 15 gallon and recirculate the water . Nice video !

I like the culvert videos. You guys should classify that stuff and take bucket loads for panning.

I like your little dustpan

Enjoyed watching you pan for gold in the culvert. Nice take!🙂

It only takes a small amount of water to clean a whole lot of dirt. Bring the water to the culvert, fill 4, 1 gallon jugs, use a 5 gallon bucket, and a few metal or plastic kitchen strainers. Last but not least, a magnet to remove the black sands. You end up with highly concentrated material in the bottom of a bucket full of water

My friend and I are coming to vancouver island. Bringing our equipment. When we get there we expect you guys to take us to a good spot.

Good one, you're so right.

Have you been back? Was thinking once you had the right flow with a sluce under the back of the culvert you could just rake and sweep it all through.

Another Brilliant Video All The Best To You All 110%.

certainly worth the effort of clean the drain out , hope it does hide more there for you

Never done a culvert pipe prospecting, ours here are concrete ones usually does not fill anything up in there, but there is a way with crevising tools to get a hand full to test.

Thanks for sharing lads. My guess is that culvert holds some crazy gold get emptying all the material classified and run the whole lot would be fun.to see what you get.

Do the whole damn thing. Nice gold for sure!

Cool idea for looking for gold! I want to try it some time

Very nice, you need to get/buy a backpack wheel barrow, if there is such a thing, or invent one....

Nice tattoo ring I'm looking for gold in rocks az I may just check one of those out

I would be cleaning that culvert after every big storm or major flow through it lol wish I had a bag of that stuff to pan, looks like great material!!!!!! and man that gold!!!!!! you scored nice on this spot. on a side note, your Instagram link in your description is missing the .com portion and does not currently work.

Nice Pans👍 hope u guys find the source, would have been cool to get a giftbag of paydirt from that culvert 🤠

bucket and a classifier would have saved you a lot of stone removal but thats a great find

Imagine how much gold is in the pool at the exit end...

Nice I'd clean that culvert out bring buckets fill them up leave it there and come back day by day panning them out 👍🏼 a lot of fun work 🍺

GOLD 😁

Im jealous ⛏🇺🇲👍🇨🇦

I think that I would come back with a vacuum cleaner, and completely clean out that culvert. I think that it would be worth taking a portable generator, and a shop vac to that location.

That’s fantastic!! Exciting!

not bad not to bad at all awesome gold good find love that gold

Theres probably gold in the mountain streams near me. Might take a wander up one day...... 😎

Did you look at the entrance and exit to that culvert? The area right before and just at end of the culvert because that drop area might have some gold just at and under the edge of culvert lips!??

Surely there is some hot spots before the culvert .

Set up a high banker and get a few buckets and go to town. Go back to the first 2 places and work those areas. Watch the Ballad of Buster Scruggs. There's gold mining scene that is how gold was prospected. Same idea.

Nice to see you guys finding gold!

I like it! At first, I was thinking that my black sands probe might have helped to pinpoint, but it looks like the black sands were fairly evenly distributed. (c:}

Nice vid! the culvert that keeps on giving.

You should look into bucket technology. You could fill the bucket with a bunch of material and take it with you.

That would be worth setting up a small highbanker to clear all that out if a water source was closer

Come back with some buckets.

Get that highbanker up there.

Gold is where you Find it👍🍻
