Heck ya man ! You can ask anyone that knows me or has been out with me I'm the first one to call you into my hole or bedrock or patch if I'm on good gold. I'm not in it for getting all the gold ✨️ or I'd not even go placer mining at all and stick to the mine by home like I use too. I started having outings here and in California to expand my prospecting buddies and meet new people. I enjoy company and I think its 100× better having laughs and being able to show and see all the gold being found and how people react
One of these days we need to meet up , I have all types of stuff to do around the state and all my local mass buddies it's like pulling teeth to get them to go. I end up dragging nick out lol that's why I typically work in VT it's a drive for both of us.
Right on bro. And no mining laws that the way it should be for small scale hobby miners everywhere. Dredging season starts here in 5 days and I still haven't received my permits yet lol
3 years ago I knew a YT friend who was doing drone video in Massachusetts. When I asked about gold, he answered no in Massachusetts. You have proven otherwise. I could almost imagine that. Well done, pal ⚒👍🤠
😆 I've still mined waaaaaaayyyy more gold from Massachusetts than all over states combined!!! California Vermont Maine New Hampshire Arizona Nevada add up every gram it still doesn't touch my mass total. It's not a stellar placer mining state but you can find decent days ..... but I can promise you there are many many spots to recover ore for refining ! I funded my entire California adventure to start off of sold gold ✨️ 6 months of bills 6 months of income for the family bought a van built a camper had a bunch of cash to survive incase . Massachusetts was THE FIRST STATE mined in America 🇺🇸 they were getting gold and silver for England In the 1700s way before any gold rush
Sweet chunker there, brother. Your and Nick's reactions were mint. Glad you captured them for us to see. I sluiced 5.2 grams from four locations in western MA. It took me three years but it's the gold I'm most proud of.
Are their any locations Mear Tewksbury MA ? I’ve been scrapping and E-Waist for a while now cause it’s at least something and doesn’t end in landfill. But I’ve been looking into Gold panning or Similar around Tewksbury MA or Wilmington MA ? Thanks
As far as gold goes any creek in Massachusetts has potential for small gold from the glacial action, there Is better placer gold west of the conn. River Valley but both sides have gold and garnet sand on the north shore beaches has gold mixed in , as far as mines go they are mostly around Boston and greater Boston, hit up mindat.org type in the town it will give you more information
There's literally gold all the way to the ocean just on how much, find a good creek with float quartz and try there it will have glacial gold at the very least.
SWEEET that’s a huge piece for glacial till congrats super rare I reckon. Looked like a great little creek and a great day out. Thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
Absolutely they are few and far between in mass but definitely here to be found. Lol the ones who have known me from before youtube and before I worked other states know what I've found in state. I'm still no where Near my total mass gold weight.
I tried getting out there one time lol my names Adam 😅.... didn't get on adams but I went on one near by and found color, there's also some crazy neon green mineral up there I can't remember the name.
Welcome to the channel and the world of gold. I'm only 35 minutes from Boston believe it or not there's actually gold & silver mines around , blue hills has gold and on display in the museum there. 95 /93 split all that bedrock has gold and I worked a mine near my house it found me ...... that mine I milled and melted over a pound of gold and alot of silver. Mines here date back to the early 1700s even . Gold in creeks and rivers can be found best out beyond the conn. River but there is gold even on some mass beaches and gravel pits throughout the state. Free mill gold you crush rite out of quartz is very rare but here there's lots of refractory ore though
I just found your channel and gold panning as a hobby. I love hearing the massive amount you got near the city. Have you done any videos on refining gold/ silver? I think that would be really cool.
I've still found more weight in Massachusetts than any and all other states combined ! Add up all my California years it's a fraction of the total. I don't even have to leave town I could go back to working the mine in town that produces great returns on smelts bit of dangerous work but worth it. If I can keep getting more folks interested in the state it would be nice to exploit more of the rivers and beaches ⛱️ the garnet sand on revere Beach near Boston has gold as does Falmouth and Mashpee in cape cod. Out in Central and western mass you can find pcs up to a gram for sure I've found atleast 4 or 5 over the years. All the glacial til has gold almost all the ground is rocky til in the state so basically flour gold can be found anywhere even my yard. My property is also on the outer ring of a caldera so is the mine "same ring" there is known gold deposits all through the system into Boston. Blue hills state park has a display with free mill gold in quartz from the property 👌. Needless to say there's been gold and silver mined here since the early 1700s it's just not talked about and very over owned at this point. But there are still ways to get the color.
Hey buddy ! Yes the northeast is the lost not talked about gold belt .... almost all new England states have lode deposits some free mill and very pure 23.5k 👌 this Massachusetts PC is definitely shredded off during the glacial push it could be from the pioneer Valley area but more than likely it's from the same trend but across the border. It has a bit of garnet attached to it which is very cool 😎
Been at this many years in 12 states I've mined around a pound a gold since I started I can assure you it's gold. And don't let fools gold fool you my lode mining record is over a pound mined and sold that's how I funded my adventures that was all refracted out of arseno pyrite with gelena which yielded lots more silver than I got In gold 😉 not all that's shiny is pure gold but It can yield enough trace ppm to smelt a bar
Keets , couch , green Windsor falls are all well known gold bearing creeks or rivers , I can say "stick to either 15 miles south of Vermont or New Hampshire on either side of the Connecticut River. "Or along the eastern flank of the Berkshires middle to top of state.
Massachusetts has all types of prospects , there's good placer gold from the conn. River west and sporadic deposits all the way to cape cod and the islands. Revere Beach Falmouth Beach Mashpee. Boston itself Sits on gold blue hills obs. Has gold ore on display. I've mined more weight in gold from my home town than all my gold totaled to date! 1 3 7 21 miles off the coast there is caldera gold & silver deposits my local mine has great values for the area. If you guys drive south head over to the "Satan's kingdom area" on the east side of the conn. Or head west to Bernardston , Colerain, Adamsville area the nh gold trend runs on the east down to the quabin res and Vermont trend runs into mass around adamsville
I don't go to California for just gold originally I went west to work and move I spent 2 years doing that and 3 Years just going for mining trips. Some of my best friends live there and I also love the environment air sun etc is all different 👌 the gold is a side effect. It's a weird situation really because you can find alot bigger pcs out west and lots of fine per pan compared to a pan in the east but I could get the Same amount of weight mining either or due to the fact there is no travel hiking etc effort put into going in the east which equals more ground moved not walked. But then again I'd never find a 1 ounce PC here I did in California.
Hey Jeff 👋 that PC is actually off a small lode trend extending down from Vermont, Massachusetts actually has a decent amount of free mill and refractory gold mines. Believe it or not there's one in my town that found me lol tbats how I got started in all this. And Boston area around me is on a caldera so there's all types of potential all around the state east or west where I was in this video. Our glacial gold is along the coast and patches of til all through the state
Oh its beyond ridiculous even if they would have maybe a size restriction and allow it at times of the year when no fish are spawning...I would be happy with that.
I personally don't sweat over "pitch" etc I learned mining out in the motherlode not to spend or think to much about the box and losing gold . The box needs a little pitch and straight flow once you see the "v" in the water entering the box it's good and as long as the water coming off the bottom is equal each side it's level side to side . The more the material you move the more gold you will get and 90% of it stays at the top 3" of the sluice so don't worry about it rolling out. I literally wipe the riffles to create more room and see if I have gold and nothing ever gets out
I'm a man of the moss lol I made a name for myself doing that in the west . In my opinion the big river moss is the moss to work . These small creeks will have color here and there in the moss but I don't know it's worth ripping all off . What happened to you at the event ? I thought for sure I was going to see you that weekend
Rule #1 don't spotlight yourself! Lol well in that way anyways ! Calling a town is not calling the "state" or better yet fish & game they would be the ones that would actually have the slightest bit of correct information. The two things you need to worry about are 1. Staying off posted and or protected wildlife areas. 2. Making sure you leave no trash behind. Other than that like I said there are no mining laws in Massachusetts no permits are required to prospect . You need more permission and permits to metal detect than gold pan in the state"
I'd say it was probably a 100$ roi trip out to the creek. I stopped selling gold in 2020 but before that point if I was selling on the eastcoast it's mostly private sales through yt in paydirt as Massachusetts doesn't not have placer gold buyers jewelers will buy it if it smelted to 24k. If I was out in California selling its pretty easy there are buyers all over the place that will take it rite out of the mountain but it's only 88%of 20k fine price so it's still worth more selling into paydirt . I'd get 24k price for a seeded gram bag with unsearched materials that could hold more value.
Hey guy's im in Southwick Massachusetts looking to start trying to find gold with my family any good spots near me and any tips on finding gold do i need permits thank you I'm really interested in finding gold in Massachusetts i also think we have good gold here
South western part of the state is tricky but still odds of finds. If I was you I'd start on the Farmington river area creeks feeding into it and over by Tolland there is a few old refractory mines. If not any creek coming down off the berks is worth trying. But the more you go north the better you will do. Windsor / beckett both good towns and all up along the border to Vermont mostly along the conn River, almost all creeks dumping into the conn on both sides will have gold. Best of luck i hope that helps.
I'm looking for somebody to start going prospecting with me if you're interested hit me up I have a sluice box and a lot of other things I just got my mining permit for a maine where he is at is just off the Vermont greenstone belt
It's made by gold grabber they don't make them anymore. I was lucky and met a oldtimer in the motherlode that had one and said I needed that box at my spot and I'd get more gold. So I traded him gold for the box ... he was correct I doubled my daily return . That armor weave is really neat stuff I also keep my eye out for old stock sheets my buddy found a full sheet but used it in his Dredge
@@GramCanyonSamAdam I'm doing great now and I hopeeverythingisgreatforyoualso!!! Lost lost 120 pounds but I did keep the house😁😁😁🍻🍻👍👍‼️ Been focused on getting organized but hobby time is here thanks for asking 🤝🍻💨
Great video but have to nip pick one thing there r mining laws here in Massachusetts u are required to have a $30 annual panning permit and the use of sluice boxes are prohibited keep on digging man i believe n.h and vt have similar laws also
I have to disagree. 21b is the only mining laws that is for large scale mining in Massachusetts you can not apply anywhere for a sluice via a mass gov page. You will find all types of out of state claims to what's allowed and you can and must apply to metal detect as Massachusetts is a hotbed for artifacts. I do agree NH and ME both require permits to sluice and Dredge not pan . Vermont sluice permits are only issued to private land all state property is hands and pans.
Listen if you tell me where that Brooke is if I find it I will tell you a secret that you you won't won't believe 😊 I want to go to that area on Monday I have something that happened to me and my buddy the other day that will blow your f****** mind
Hey lance this was up in bernardston on couch brook but there's many creeks around that area that will have gold but stay from Adamsville to Bernardston that's within the bedrock gold trend that runs into Vermont. Much better gold over in VT head to Buffalo brook or broad or something in bridgewater / plymouth Woodstock
Being an American doing American shet in California.... yes 3% 🤠 I hail from the original place of the OG 3%ers the Minute Men... fun fact my property was originally owned by one of the men
I mine all over the country I'm not paying attention to glacial action it's pointless and I'm well aware of the insides and outside of the earth now and then and when in question I can typically put the puzzle together. My gold total speaks for itself I do very well from Massachusetts to California just by using my self taught knowledge of all things related to the earth and metals
@@GramCanyonSam Looking at Massachusetts gold nugget a gift from glacier or is it you showed a rock that was scratch buy a glacier From n.y. state internet topo map their is glacier mountain where glacier came from. IN 1945 N.Y. state pass a law ANY U.S. citizens can keep all gold they find on state land BUT teach IN SCHOOL it belong to the state
Is the metal nessicary? I don't like metal nor modern pop music. It died after the soul from the sixtys. Old Punk, reggae from the sixtys, old county and various folk music is great. Anything that's working class and proud of it. That's not metal. hell, Classical music is great, try and read about a dude called Rosete (sic). Cool back story and beautiful violin concertos.
I am a man of all music 🎶 I listen to what ever I "hear" and what is in my moment. Metal music is not common with me but definitely in the mix. As for choice of music for a video I've had 1000's of discussions from all different people about all different types of music I decided to put in. At the end of the day if I switch music to suit you then I upset someone else and vice versa 💯 % of the time. So with that being said I put in what I feel for that clip or vibe of day or video . And most the time I don't put in music at all anymore for the reason of de monetization and or upsetting my viewers. So I am sorry if it upset you 😔 but at the end of the day I do what I do and I can only hope you end up back for another video 📹 😊. Cheers 🍻 have a good day
I love music 🎶 10000s of songs on my Playlist I don't watch TV hardly ever. Music is extremely important to humans vibrations and frequency you will never get from viewing
Phuck, Phuck! Oh, Pucker Phuck!!! hahaha Sssshhhhh hahaha Nice Adam Brother Nice, looked like a nice area. I will have to talk you into taking me out the next time I am visiting my Son in MASS... Keep it up, my brother!
