Awesome video here bud. Definitely that was a very nice spot for finding nice flour gold. Lol. And totally a nice job finding the float quartz rocks. Definitely something for you to check out cause you might found a source of the gold that was somewhat left behind by the old timers miners. Lol. That one big black covered quartz rock definitely might be worth taking home one day and crushing it up and panning it out. 😆
I thought about changing the name, but I'm keeping it because I'm helping inspire new rookies to try gold panning and showing them what's possible from the perspective of someone that has never done it before episode 1.
Try 1/8 mesh for small gold ,takes forever to fill a bucket , if you can lift a 5 gallon bucket of 1/8 ? the sluice likes 1/8 and it won't kick out so much of the fine gold . Good luck !
Dude I found a nice spot by the house in Paulding county. Its in a layer of clay about 2’ deep in the creek bed. Cantaloupe size quartz rock 4’ down mixed with hand size quartz rock and loads of black sand. It’s definitely a strange spot but the color are big and easy to spot. I spent maybe 4 hrs in the same spot and found more gold than I have after 10 hrs work at my other spot. Its a hike in and out but definitely worth it. I only panned also so a sluice is gonna mean pay day. The deeper I go the less I find. I don’t know if it can stratify through the clay. If not then its gonna be easier than I thought to get to it.
Find any campground near Lake Allatoona. There is gold in every creek that surrounds the lake. It is owned by the Army Corps of Engineers and they allow gold panning there.
Hi 👋🏻😉 You are doing a great job and you should be rewarded with a nice comment, s.u.b. and thumbs up for that 😀💪🏻 Best regards and have a wonderful day 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I invite you to my channel Adventures of Starski 😉
Not all public land is the same regarding the use of sluices. It depends on the jurisdiction. State parks you can't even pan at all or sluice. National forests don't allow sluices in Georgia, but in NC they do allow them at Uwharrie. Parks may have their own rules separate from legislation. The state of Georgia does not have a permitting process for hobbyists. Only commercial miners need permits from the state. The laws are so convoluted and vary so much you can't take anything I say as legal advice. Private property is your best bet for using a sluicebox.
I use jet dry at home when I'm cleaning cons but out in the field I usually don't. Not a bad idea though you're not the first person to reccomend that.
New sub from over the pond in the south of England. I have a 25 year plan for 24g to cast my daughters wedding bands. Tip for wader soles, either try spraying the bottom with hairspray (cheaper option) or get a fly fishing re-felt kit (costly) as the stormsure bonds permanently. Gonna look forward to seeing the back catalogue of vids 👍🍻⛏️😁
Awesome! I hope things are well over there in my ancestral lands. Thanks for the sub. You'll make your goal just test test test then wash lots of rocks.
I leave it on my gold stored in a vile. Eventually I'll use a retort - basically a still for mercury. It vaporizes the mercury and recaptures it for safe storage.
Nice job. How do you like the Frog Toggs? I went with knee high water proof socks. They fit inside my regular boots and keep my feet dry, but a little cold. Looks like you could get some warm socks on inside your chest waders.
I like having chest high waders so I can go deeper and they are thicker and more heavy duty to keep me warmer when I'm digging in 20 degree weather this winter.
I like that little Gold Hog sluice. The other thing you can try to get your classifier back is magnet fishing or a regular fishing pole with a hook on the end.......... or just go swimming lol.
Great job. Iv been out once this year . Work work work . Not as much fun but staying bizzy. Thank you for getting out there for me. Same size gold here in Wyoming
