This is my second gold sniping trip. I'm prospecting on my new GoldieRocks gold claim and finding placer gold everywhere just sitting on the bedrock!
I found a lot of gold and my biggest gold nugget yet!
Here is my first gold sniping video, found lots of gold my first trip too:

Here is the story of how I happened upon the gold here and patiently waited to claim it:

Please subscribe to join me in all my prospecting adventures. I plan to do some more gold panning, metal detecting, gold sniping, sluicing, and test out a highbanker.
I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions. I enjoy interacting with people who have the same interests.
Thanks for watching!

Right on buddy!!!! Love it!!!!!

Thank you!

@jamesculver829 Год назад

Great video man! That was a very good day snipping. The excitement of seeing the gold never gets old. Hope it keeps producing for you. Keep up the great work. We look forward to your next video!

@wildernesseric Год назад

Yes I hope the gold keeps up too and keeps getting chunkier. Thanks for watching and following the adventure!

@wiseguydigsgold Год назад

Great Job!! Cant wait for you to go back and keep working that area. Be safe out there.

@wildernesseric Год назад

Thanks. Yeah I'm anxious to go out again when I find some more time off. Thanks for watching!

@garyroenicke2102 Год назад

Well Done, Great Video. Finding Gold Sniping is So Much Fun and What a Rush. You did very well and awesome video. I snipe the Yuba Rivers in N California and have had a few good days a couple years ago. Keep it Up

@wildernesseric Год назад

It was a blast, I hope I can stay in the gold streak. Thanks for watching!

@leighanncronin6905 Год назад

Hi Eric, with the larger size gold you're finding, have you ever seen the homemade snuffer bottles with any type of bottle and a metal tube? Levi with "Tassie Boys Prospecti" makes his own, so check him out😊

@wildernesseric Год назад

Yes I have seen Levi's video on how he makes his snuffer bottles. I haven't been able to find a good juice bottle here in the USA yet. Thanks for watching!

@daNger_b20914 Год назад

@@wildernessericI just made 1 with a 16.9oz Mountain Dew bottle and a piece of copper refrigerant tubing and its by far the best I've ever used. The 16.9oz bottles are the taller skinny looking 1s. It's a night and day difference compared to the normal store bought snuffers. Keep up the good work, & keep finding the yellow stuff brotha!

Hi from the UK, I’m very jealous you have the opportunity to find gold like this, Loving your videos, think you need a bigger sniffer bottle, one that the end doesn’t retract too (think the Tassie boys have a metal longer straw?) 😊, think you should overlay the queen track “I’m having such a good time I’m having a ball.. don’t stop me now” 🤩. I’m also a subscriber and fan of Pioneer Pauly, you have a very rich claim 👍🏼hope your being careful with your location and keep it quiet locally, can’t wait to see you grow with sniping, I think you will find bigger nuggets once you become more confident and firmer scraping 👍🏼 keep going this time next year you could be a millionaire 🤩

@wildernesseric Год назад

Hello! It is a wonderful opportunity and a ton of fun. Do they not have gold in the UK? I've been tinkering with a new snuffer bottle setup but I haven't found a bottle that sucks good enough yet😆 I like the setup Tassie Boys has but the metal straw he has is huge. It would probably make my gold chunks look small 🧐 plus it's a good feeling to find a piece of gold so big that it won't fit into the straw haha. I keep finding bigger and bigger pieces as I go so I do think I will eventually find some bigger nuggets. Only been out there a handful of days so far, can't wait to see what else it holds. Thank you for watching and following 🙂

@missg3283 Год назад

Gold in the uk is hard to find and not as rich as other countries, Scotland, Wales and Cornwall I believe it’s possible. They are all a long drive away maybe one day 😊… keep doing what your doin 👍🏼

Eric, We have enough people coming up into our areas and they don’t care what they do to our resources. As much as I enjoy some of your videos it just gets more and more people flooding the areas we enjoy going. Is that 8 dollar behind you? Enjoy your adventures!! Until you can’t find a place to park. None of the above is said to. Trigger or upset anyone. Just a comment. Be safe and enjoy.

@mohunter68 Год назад

That larva is called a hellgramite some of the best bass fishing bait that many anglers don't even know about. They merge into Dobsan fly larvae and eventually emerge from the water in summer and if you have ever seen those huge dragonflies in summer, that's the hellgramite all grown up and they actually eat mosquitoes.

@wildernesseric Год назад

I thought is was a hellgrammite at first too but on closer inspection it is actually a type of stonefly. It doesn't have the large pincher mandibles like the hellgrammites do. Its feet were really grippy and it could walk along the rocks in strong current.

@paulsanders2001 Год назад

Massive well done Eric I'd certainly invest In a kyack drysuit and a undersuit you'll be alot warmer and don't forget to scratch every crack out till you get back to harder bedrock them bigger bits do get deep into the decayed bedrock

Can you pee in a drysuit? 🤣

Hi Eric, great vid, nice gold & cool nature. I think that was a Dragon Fly nymph you saw underwater. Looks like you have a lot fun mining. Ospreys are cool, I saw one snag a big Largemouth bass out of the water once, took him awhile to get up in the air with it but he did. Keep up the great work on the vids. Thx, Serg

@wildernesseric Год назад

Thanks Serg. There are dragonfly nymphs in the river too but this creature is different. Its feet are kind of sticky. I thought it was a hellgrammite at first so I had to look it up. I hope to get an osprey catching a fish on camera. Thanks again for watching!

@raewinston Год назад

Hi Eric good to watch best of luck, but without some form of collection, & checking later, on the river bank or home, or by vacuuming how can you be sure you are not missing so much ?

@wildernesseric Год назад

Hi thanks for watching. I can't be sure I know I'm missing stuff but I don't have the equipment to do vacuuming. At some point I hope to find a way to get a dredge packed in.

Hi there Nice review. I tried looking for the Bairuifu googles but doesn’t seem to be on amazon. Im in UK so i hope thats not the reason why. Don’t suppose any has tried to purchase them in 2024 have they?

@mohunter68 Год назад

What state are you in? We have tons of bedrock creeks here in Missouri, and I've often wondered if there was any gold trapped in that limestone. Sadly I'm trying desperately to get my disability and I don't think that I could do that kind of work anymore.

@wildernesseric Год назад

I'm out in the Pacific North West. Are there any local mining clubs near you? They would know if there's gold to be found in your area.

@jeffgrimmenga6853 3 месяца назад

A dredge might get a lot more in less time if you can use one in your area.

@wildernesseric 10 месяцев назад

Can you elaborate what blue leed, dexpan, and a squished depositor are?

@jimhoran5445 Год назад

That looks like so much fun! I wonder what would happen if you put a big gold mat in the center of the river. To see if you catch anything while you are gone! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@wildernesseric Год назад

It is fun, hard work but fun. The gold doesn't move unless there is major floods so I don't think a mat would work. The old timers used to make cement anchors and put steel sluice cages in the bottom of rivers. Pretty sure installing anything into rivers is illegal now. Thanks for watching!

@ayetee8403 Год назад

Great job mate. That is not wire gold though...it is merely a piece of gold that has been hammered into that shape. Conditioner and water mix for getting into your wetsuit. Sinkers in snuffers bottle

@wildernesseric Год назад

Thanks

@scottydee9767 Год назад

Take that little plastic tube out of your snuffer bottle and put in a stainless steel drinking straw. Your videos are painful to watch for this reason. Watch Tassie Boys prospecting from here in Australia to see what I mean

@wildernesseric Год назад

Yeah, I plan to experiment with making my own snuffer bottle when I get some time to do so. I haven't found a good bottle here in the states like the bottles Tassie Boys uses. Thanks for watching!
