I don't know how long you've been prospecting, but if you're digging at water level like that, unless you're hitting some REALLY clay-y material you are not gonna find anything but flood gold... Where you pointed to at the beginning, above the flood gravels, where there is some dirt mixed in the gravels and maybe some grass growing is where you will find 3x more gold! Because the spot where you are digging is replenished and washed through almost every year! So of course it would not have time to collect any large amount of gold! The spots higher up and with more clay-y dirt in them tend to pay way better for me at least. My 2 cents.
That makes total sense, I was banking on finding a new crack somewhere with those huge rocks in the flow but nope hahah. Thanks for your advice & opinions🤟 good luck out their
@@Bailey-adventures No problem! I only commented that because i want to see you in the next video pulling NUGGETS ! Thank you for not taking offense at my advice! Best of luck to you too
Beautiful location! Love the video! You're right, patience is required when gold panning/prospecting. I'm a fossil hunter, and it's the same with that too!
i'm always curious as to how much gold is accidentally dumped out or not noticed while panning away the material in the water. always appears to be a rough process.
I’m sure some micro gold, potentially not every pan as It can actually float away but the idea is to try agitating/ shaking the gold to the bottom then slightly Tilting towards the riffles trapping that gold! Hopefully hahah
I’m sensing a little Dan Hurd and Pauly talk and actions. If you listen closely you’ll hear it, and watching him pan is what watching hours of Dan Hurd panning will do for you
Thanks for the video. I learned something. In the last minute or so of the video it appears there was a flat round object at the bottom of the frame that looks like a silver coin.
how do you know that you`re not throwing away rocks that have gold in them, if they dropped into a crevise area, it was because they were heavier than other rocks. i would suggest investing in a pin pointer to check the cracks before all that digging. also look up you tube videos on crevise hunting and see how others do it. they use pin pointers and yeah, sometimes they get a signal and it`s only a nail, piece of wire, lead shot, but if no signal, you`re wasting your time and energy digging if nothing there.
