0:15 Pauly are you trying to mislead people? That one distributor is not where "ALL home depot suppliers get their sand." I have to comment on every one of these videos. Each home depot has their own regional supplier. The sand you get in canada is very different from what I will get in oklahoma. Please, for the love of god, state this in your videos so people dont go out spending money on sand and wasting hours panning it out when there was never a chance at gold.
This comment is very true. I’m from Canada and I’m kinda close to the Fraser river. When he said it’s known for it gold he is telling the truth. There has been plenty of gold pulled out of there. Your average sand in the states or whatever probably won’t have this much
I mean anything on the internet I'd take like a grain of sand. When you have a revenue built on doing wild things on the internet it becomes more easy to do wild things that normal people would never actually do. And im sorry but if you spend all your money on sand in hopes to get a few flakes of gold you shouldn't of even had the money to begin with
@@x9x9x9x9x9Maybe just stop getting so worked up over it then. Realistically, no kid is going to be as disappointed as you think they'll be. Sure, it'll be unfortunate if they see no gold, but they likely will still see plenty of other cool materials that will excite the kid. It's not that deep my guy.
Did you know that breathing sand dust causes permanent lung damage called Silicosis. This lung disease is caused by inhaling silica dust, a mineral found in sand, quartz, and other rocks. Symptoms include chronic breathing problems, scarring in the lungs, and difficulty breathing. Symptoms can appear weeks to years after exposure and usually worsen over time. Silicosis can also increase the risk of other serious conditions, such as tuberculosis, pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, and arthritis. Other diseases Breathing in sand dust can also cause asthma, rhinitis, sinusitis, and several rare respiratory cancers.
Did you know that copying and pasting information from the Internet and then posting it on people's RU-vid videos to make yourself seem smart and important when, in reality, everyone hates you, especially attractive women.
Error. The sand on the bottom you left behind would have the highest concentration of gold in it. NeXT time, put a huge tarp down on the ground before dumping the sand on it. Then as the heavy gold falls to the bottom, it will be caught by the tarp. You lose nothing.
No, I ran a gravel pit with a sand screw for 3 years. That sand would be practically homogeneous. If you could simply dump sand into a truck, then into a pile and all the heavies went straight to the bottom, there would be no need for sluicing or anything else. You would just dump sand on the ground and discard everything but the bottom 1” layer.
@@baddestmofoalive I think what they mean is as you disturb the sand from scooping it, you're going to displace the gold further down. It's going to be negligible, but you'd definitely see a higher gold concentration at the bottom of the pile than the top. Even if it's only 1-2% higher in concentration, etc.
The fact that this became such a successful series blows my mind. What started out as fun experiment became a huge project. And that's what youtube is about.
unfortunately the sahara probably has next to zero gold the sand in this video is likely sand cut from igneous rocks like granite, from the mountains in british columbia, which is where the actual gold veins in the rocks are the sahara desert is mostly sedimentary rock with next to no gold in it
@@sneediumminer sea water does contain gold single element scale level size, it is there though, your not going to be to wash out with pan at the scale of size? and the the not ecnomicly to recover comes in, if make a useful by products like removing salt from sea water to make drinkable, ? maybe? but gold is not the main product
I think if you scaled it up it just might barely make money for the sand mining company to run through at least some of their sand but only if you use sands from certain rivers
Well, I know that some of the gravel and sand pits here in Germany do actually extract the gold out of their product. If you ask them if they make money from it, they will just answer "if it wasn't worth it, we woudnt be doing it". I would bet that the home depot pit is sitting on a lot more gold, as Germany is not exactly known for much gold. So if they can make extra 200$ per truckload of sand, that sounds interesting to me.
@@rodmills4071Yeah, they would lose money. 😂 They have a brain so they aren't going to spend a ton of money in equipment and labor just for some gold flakes.
10:46 life hack go get sediment bag for a street drain and put your pump inside of that. It allows water to pass through but not the sand. We use it in construction to keep overburden going into low side sewer utilities
I clicked on the video thinking I would just skip to the end and see how much gold there was. Then I got invested in the process and actually enjoyed watching the whole thing. Now I'm subscribed.
14:07 I also very same question why you didn't put it on a tarp to begin with but...... But....... As a truck drove for 5 hours that gold would have settled to the bottom of the pile and went dumped it would have been on the top of the pile. So you should see less gold as you get to the bottom of the sand pile. So your long truck drive was actually a good saving grace for your extra work at the end
What I love is this is part travelogue- you are just showing off how beautiful Canada is. I still think NZ pips you - just - and of course I’m biased I live in BOP in NZ. The other part is that you do daft things, you think “what if..? “ and do it. Then if you can do THAT … what IF?… I’m enthralled.
Just love this channel - It is so sweet. Congratulations on your growing family! Sooo exciting for you all. And what a truly beautiful place to grow up. Than
That's awesome yall thought about this, great idea guy's. Definitely put a tarp down next time if you do this again because there's probably at least what you found on the ground still. See you on your next video! 👍
Ewwwww! You went big now pauley, those “other” RU-vidrs got nothing on you! Can’t wait to see, especially see your frustration and ADHD kick in. I feel bad for the other guys working with you. I’m watching now. I love your videos and humor. 😂🤣
Get to know the gravel pit man, the gold stacks up in the sand screws. They drain them when it gets cold, black sand and gold all around the drain. It's already concentrated for you, bro, good luck.
Using a dry rocker box to feed the probably unnecessary trommel would have removed probably 10% of the mass in dust fly off. A shop vac to to get up the remaining sand on ground may have helped with the final weigh out too as much of the heavy gold would have settle to the highly manipulated pile. Running the sluice into a low spot on the property that needed fill material would save a lot of labor too.
That makes sense. If the sand is clean and stable enough for people to play in, I'd imagine it would work great for concreate, making for an uncontaminated and superior concrete amalgamation.
I appear to have 2 of the same trommels that you're using. My solution to the shoulder-tearing shovel work: I cut a 3" hole in my loader bucket, installed a removable pipe, loaded the bucket with pay dirt, and washed it thru the pipe into the trommel hopper...easy !
This is so interesting! Halfway point, no reading spoilers. Strong envy game. I WILL. Go panning at least once this month. I have been panning gutter sand. Never skunked… but I almost wish now.
Very cool! I thought you didn’t want to wash sand anymore? 🤣 In a gravel plant, there's even more gold in the right spots. You can find a few grams of gold in just a little bit of material. 😉
Great goofy fun pauly entertainment no matter how much gold is found! I enjoyed watching. You have to watch till the end. No spoiler alerts , just fun )
