Red deer river gold prospecting by boat.
My home made high-banker is compact enough to fit on the back of a seadoo GTX, so I take it up a river to dig for gold! In this video I go over how to map out a pay-streak using a gold pan, then actually setup and dig 300 shovel fulls of gravel to test out the highbanker!
The cleanup for this video is next in the playlist, or can be seen here: • Gold Mining the Deer R...
Thanks for watching!

Prospecting youtube 101, always show your clean up and gold at the end of the video. Nice set up though ! Just starting out myself...

@UtmostOutdoors 3 года назад

It's a learning curve... The cleanup from this trip is next in the Playlist titled "2020 Seadoo mining" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b5nlZoXzsJA.html

Yes the test panning makes total sence. Why shovel all day where there were 30 colour when 16 meteres away there may be 100 colours. You're doing an awsome job. First time have seen you eat. My faverite snack when on an adventure is the sardines in mustard or a can of beans with pork.

Just wanted to say, if you feel you might of injested something to pump area. Pull ski to shallow knee high water and lift up n down on rear of ski to clean pump area.

@kingbonez8296 4 года назад

and I see you were at the innisfail bridge lol you picked up your seadoo probably 80 meters upstream from the 400+ pans

@Notellemkrik1776 3 года назад

I wonder if you could install polypropylene sheets to the bottom of ski leaving area around pump in-changed. They use on those mini jet boats to protect hull. I believe those sheets were 3/8 thick.

@UtmostOutdoors 3 года назад

I'm not 100% sure yet what the plan is, but I'd like to try something like that... super sketchy out there with the old fiberglass hull!

New sub to ya great job on your exploration hope to see more

@UtmostOutdoors 2 года назад

Thanks for watching! Can't wait to get back out there for more!

@aumetalmental8403 4 года назад

A lot of floater gold in ur pans too.

@s.d.iprospecting4359 Год назад

Would u run the same feed rate if u had your old beach box if u were up in nome beach? Is that Nsr or red deer material comparable to Nome beach sand? Im thinking its close givin the gold size of both locations, reason im asking is im going to make a wooden beach box.

@UtmostOutdoors Год назад

Feed rate in sand would be slower. I have not been to Nome, but one spot I took the old beach box was just like beach sand. Almost all of each shovel would pass through the screen, and so the sluice had to deal with an entire shovel of material rather than having half of it removed by the grizzly.

A little tip for gridding out a paystreak, test every 2 feet from waters edge all the way to the bank, and even test the grasses, my best single shovel pan on the red deer was 400+ colors and that was from grasses, if you want more info Utmost message me!

@UtmostOutdoors 2 года назад

Wow, 400 colors is a great pan! I sure can't wait to get back out for more!

@davescorneroftheworld1147 3 года назад

you wasted 26 minutes of my time and did not show your clean up? I thought I might have found a channel that would share but NO I did not.

@UtmostOutdoors 3 года назад

I have failed you my friend, and many others. I have since been taught RU-vid:101 to always include a clean up. It's next in the playlist: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b5nlZoXzsJA.html

Really enjoyed the wood drop riffle series. Keep it up - your videos are great! Subscribed with bell : )

@mohammednovalija 3 года назад

So if I make a highbanker just like yours , do I need to purchase a Seadoo.

@UtmostOutdoors 3 года назад

The Seadoo is optional, but will increase the effectiveness of your high banker by 9000.

@mohammednovalija 3 года назад

@@UtmostOutdoors lol - would want to for the price they sell at - Thank you for brilliant quality tapes - obviously you have a good handle on where Your Life is going - well done

@mortimerq-pencil2513 4 года назад

like to see a clean up video for this run.

@UtmostOutdoors 4 года назад

I have the cleanup video up now. Sorry I was worried it would be too long. Thanks for watching!

@Gunsmith-oj9gk 3 года назад

Have you ever thought of making a power jet for your seadoo and dredge with it?

@UtmostOutdoors 3 года назад

I think a seadoo jet pump would not work very well. The fuel use would be prohibitive, and even then a single stage axial flow pump (propeller in a tube) produces relatively low pressure and high volume. A dredge eduction venturi is designed for the relatively higher pressure of a radial flow centrifugal pump. A seadoo does have a lot of towing power and could tow a descent amount of gear in areas you're allowed to use it.
