The Cure For Cabin Fever  

Totally brother, those guys have the best banter while out panning! I’m with ya, bring on summer 😀🍩

@@northeastexpanse They really should have a blueberry doughnut emoji 😂😂

Yes 🤣! They are highly underrepresented sadly…😂

Thanks brother! Roger that!

Thank you for the continued support Granville! 🤠👊🏻

Thank you Kirk!

Thanks! This place gets raging and I sure wasn’t staying there when the weather shifts.

Thanks Brandon! 👊🏻🤘🏻

You nailed it brother! Wait until you see how shifted the brook got at camp this spring.

Thanks 😊! Yeah this Brook is so much fun to explore!

Thanks brother really appreciate that 👊🏻🙌😃

Thanks Scott! Hope your ankle is healing up and feeling better. We got some digging to do this year brother 👊🏻🙂

@@northeastexpanse yes we do. Damn thing is probably as good as its going to get I'm afraid

Injuries stink buddy, you’re a tough New Englander!

Thank you for checking it out! If I don’t get outdoors in the winter I’ll lose my mind 🙂👊🏻

The chest waders thankfully keep me dry! Can’t wait for spring though brother. 🤘🏻🎸

Thank you Graham! 🤠👊🏻

🤠👊🏻

Thanks Peter! As long as I keep the hands moving and push the cold thoughts out of my mind then I’m good to go! You’re right, the gold trap works great there. I’m totally guilty of over feeding it though 😂. With that said though, it still performs like a champ!

My email is in my bio. Shoot an email over and I’ll stop in sometime.

Great insight John. The clay compaction is quite heavy in this area. I come across a mix of pieces that are flour and then pieces that have some character to them. I’ve been mapping a lot of areas over the last year and like the challenge of finding gold in an area less traveled rather than spots that are popular.

@@northeastexpanse yes 😃

@northeastexpanse I agree.... it's no fun "finding it", if it's already been found ! the small brooks and streams going down the north face of a hill or mountain have always yielded me more than any on the south facing side. Funny how us prospectors, chasing the tiny pieces, still need to consider the largest scale structures to increase the chances !

Very interesting, sounds like east side of the greens if I’m interpreting that right.

@northeastexpanse the greens run north/south(the trend of the mountains). Look for streams on the downhill, north facing side, between "peaks". Picture as the glaciers pushed over the mountains(from the north to the south) the heavy material was scraped off the bottom of the glacier and piled up on the northern side of any hill or mountain it went over. I did a quick Google earth look. The town of Goshen in VT, almost directly south of it is a large hill. That north facing slope is where the heavy erratics and gold would drop as the glaciers scraped over the top of it. East of Goshen a few miles is similar, there is a stream running through the valley. On the south side of that stream, is the north facing slope of another mountain. Any drainage flowing down that slope, towards the stream in the valley, will have more gold than the opposite side,or north side of that stream. An awkward analogy would be dog poop on your shoe LOL, as you scrap your foot forward (or south as the glaciers moved) all the big stuff comes off. As you drag your foot backwards (or north as the glaciers receded) the rest of the small stuff comes off.

Thanks Tim, hope you enjoy the channel brother!

Sure I will

That’s awesome! Thank you for watching and joining us!

@@northeastexpanse more than welcome dude. Looking forward to seeing the videos and what you find

Love it! I literally thought when I put up that radar that one of my fellow New Englanders would see it. The Vermont pins are pretty vague with how many brooks are in the area however if someone shows up I’ll crack a beer with em 👊🏻🤘🏻

@@northeastexpanse I've got around 700 prospects spread from mass to Maine lol and tons out west if there's anything I've learned if I drop a screen shot someone will figure out the trend 😉. Send me an email 📧 I'll send you some information I've learned over the years I worked the heck out of the sheldonville mine but there's more Even in my yard and lots more not on maps in the area. Also I could add some great pins out in western mass have you done anything around Windsor

I’ve put in a lot of time about 8 miles from Windsor, Ma. Other than my property up North, it’s my favorite place to go and explore. I don’t have your email address brother. My email is in my bio if you don’t want to share yours on here.
