Awesome job Naomi! I'm happy you fixed your oven :) Thanks for letting me know 👍

Vanissa! Thank you so much for the comment and support! I'm glad you figured it out and were able to fix your oven on your own. I love being able to show people that they have the power within themselves to do it by themselves and save some money in the process. Also, thanks for the tip on doing the research finding the exact replacement for your igniter. I know it can be tough but this comment will serve someone well in the future. Again, thank you and I hope you have a great day :)

Thanks Zachary! I really appreciate the kind words and support! Also, don't forget to store your blades in water... this will allow them to last much longer! Thanks again Zachary.

Hey #1StealFish! That's a great question and it's one that I can't diagnose properly over a computer. Something is definitely going on where you are blowing the fuse consistently and that's a problem. It sounds like you have a short somewhere and you may have to follow out the wire and see if anything else is wrong with it. But as you stated, you can definitely replace the wire and the fuse holder if you choose. That shouldn't be difficult. My jack, if I remember correctly, doesn't have a fuse between the jack and the battery, so I'm not really sure. Sorry if I wasn't any help but like I said, it's hard not being able to see what's truly going on. I do have a question though, with the jack disconnected, does your battery system work without any problems? If so, then possibly your jack is completely shorted and needs replacing.

Thank you Shiney Rocks! I appreciate the support my friend!

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser No problem at all. Coos Bay Oregon waving at you 👋🏻

@shineyrocks390 let's go coos bay? Any gold out there?

My man Evan! That's a great idea and I should have done that for sure. I appreciate you and you're support my friend :)

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser I was thinking of buying one of those very short, very narrow and very long "under the bed totes... They are see through plastic and cheap... Cutting the north and south walls out and then filling the bottom with a type of mat or mesh, Dollarama has this stuff that looks like miners moss...maybe even the tote lid can be made into something that can help build a classifying section or something I haven't thought that far yet.... Might be able to make a long and super lite sluice this way... For less then 30$

@EvanGrunwald-x2r I say go for it Evan. One thing I've learned... you can capture gold in just about anything and I think that's really cool. Just thinking outside the box usually yields good results and like what you said, it doesn't matter the cost. I've seen systems cost thousands where a device that cost $10 bucks does the same thing :)

Hey Surf, my apologies for the close up not working well. Here is a shirt I did as well that might help you see it better. Again, I sincerely apologize for not reaching the bar on that portion. Enjoy my friend and thank you for the comment and support :) czcams.com/users/shortsO016B7uABJ0?si=38MVR_uvFT5VO2JT

Hey Mczawlytko, I'm sorry to hear this and what works for me may not work for someone else. Having said that though... have you tried leaving your blades soaking in water until you need to use them. I didn't point that out during the making of the video but was later informed from a viewer that the instructions actually state to do this. I tried it right away and to my amazement, they worked for a longer amount of time and were able to take more abusive hits. Am I saying this will fix the issue, not entirely, but it could help them last further. Let me know if you try this and see how it works. I just keep mine in a ball jar full of water and then put them on when I need to use it now. I'd say a good overnight soaking will do the trick. Again, I'm sorry it didn't work for you and I'm not affiliated with STIHL at all. I'm just trying to get some alternatives out there. If you find something better, let me know. I'm always willing to try something new and different.

Awesome Morgan! And that's exactly what I use my system for. I park my trailer back there and haul wood back there! I really appreciate the comment and support!

@@18dmedic I just replied to your email :) thanks Kevin :)

Whoa!!!! Thank you so much for the super chat! I really appreciate it and glad this helped you a bit. Thank you again so much. It means a lot :)

I think there would be no restrictions on this. It's just a piece of metal. Officially I'd say to check the TSA.GOV website like I said.... I think you'll be ok. Thanks!

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser thankyou for your reply

@vaibegaming1183 no problem :)

I hear ya Frank and thanks for commenting and your support. We're gonna keep on doing what we do. :)

@@toothpickmining thanks Toothpick Mining. I appreciate that. I like to try new things like you said because I get bored or wonder "what if". Its still a work in progress but I'm Working on a third video where I'll put some viewer suggestions to the test. It's fun for me and that's honestly all that matters. Thanks again Toothpick and I appreciate your support!

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser Bro, most people trying new things fail with the first problem they encounter, those who try and try again are the ones creating the things the next generation will use. Keep it up, you got this…..

Thanks dude! We're gonna keep going! 👍

@@toothpickmining hey aren't you one of the guests that were on Flash in Your Pan? You had some cool device you were working on! I thought it was great!

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser I am not the best with live streams and everything but I tried haha. That was me and thank you, it wasn’t over night though. I think I am going on 7 years of R&D at this point, so it definitely takes time.

I will Douglas, thanks for the info :)

What's going on? Thanks for the comment and support. As for answering your question, I'm from Washington state and don't follow California rules. So id have to direct you to someone that prospects in Cali for those answers. Also I would expect that you could do some google search on the areas that you are located to get a better idea of what's allowed or not. Also, try searching Cali gold and find some local CZcamsrs that know the land and the rules. I'm sure they'd be more that happy to help out. Dan from home zoo and prospecting would be a great place to start in my opinion but there are so many good people out there. I hope this helps you my friend. Thanks again!

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser Awesome! Thanks for the help

Hey Mark! Thanks for letting me know that that worked. It only came to me after I took it apart and realized it's something that could be done to get them working again. So I really appreciate the confirmation. Thanks again my friend! I appreciate the support!

Hey Danny! Thanks for getting my point about this video. Most agree with me, but some call me a whiner and other things for doing this. I was just trying to prove a few points, and try to have some fun doing it! Peace brother!

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser before 2008 I worked for a land surveying company doing erosion control plans, road design, and subdivision plans, then cam oblowme and passed so many regulations that there was no way to comply, just the paperwork involved increased to 3 24x36 pages of required information, no way to even put a price on that, and then the market crashed and I was unemployed, something has to change, heavy pans brother man, still love watching your show

They definitely make it hard don't they. Thanks Don. I appreciate the support.

That's the worst Rick :( I hope you are doing better and aren't all swelled up. I know if it were me that got hit, I'd be at the ER for sure! Take care my friend and thanks for the comment :)

I've actually seen that done and know that they make something similar to what you speak of. It's basically just a metal bar that attaches and will take out pretty much anything. Thanks for the comment and support David! Super appreciate you!

Thank you Curmudge Inn AK! I appreciate you

Thanks for the feedback arthib19. I appreciate it. I hope you're having a great day my friend :)

Thanks Bubba! I appreciate the feedback and support my friend! You rock!

Thanks Vester! Super appreciate you!

Thanks, you stinkin legend :)

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser who me?? 🤔

Got Green! Thank you my friend :) 🧤

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser your welcome

Stoney Baloney!

@@muzdogbarbados5492 my man Muzdog! What’s happening my friend! Thanks. I know it’s small, but it’s a size I never thought I’d find on the creek! Cheers my man and thanks for the support :)

Hey Lucas! Thanks for the comment and support! Many have the same thought as you which made me made a part 2. I had very similar results, so yes. Its works both ways! Thanks again!

Thanks Danny and that stinks about the rain, but I get it… it rains here 9 months out of the year. Well my gold aint much but it pretty much everywhere on this creek. Enjoy watching but there’s a lot of good channels out there. I appreciate you kind sir :)

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser thank you got very relaxing video, I look forward to yours, other channels just aren't as enjoyable as yours, and I do enjoy your reply, and hope to come visit some day, am gypsy at heart, lived all over, ain't stopping now, lol, heavy pans brother

@pick4u2 Danny! I really appreciate that and it does mean a lot to me. That’s one thing I strive to always do… is to reply back and make connections. I think it’s the most important of all!

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser you are so right, shows that you are for real, man, I gotta save up and come do some heavy pans with you, I live a simple life, am sure I would fit right in, so...saving my dollars...not, I keep spending it on prospecting stuff...lol

I wish my life was simple. Work always has me busy and that’s why I have spurts where I can have lots of content and then times where I can’t do much for a little bit. It’s totally ok though. And that sounds good man. I’ll keep you in mind :)

Brendan! For science!!! 🤣 You know, I never tried pushing the file away. I’ve just always moved the file in the direction of the arrow. I, like you, think it won’t make much of a difference, but it could. Let me know how your science experiment goes :) Thanks for the comment and support :)

Awesome Charlie! Thanks for letting me know. I hope it works out for you my friend! Thanks again.

Just go for it Pete! It’s all good and that pin with cotter pin is essential for vertical/horizontal operation. Trust the process and trust the metal! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You’re gonna love that beast of a splitter! Thanks brother!

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser Went for it and split some logs... machine stayed in one piece, I call that a win

Nice win Pete! I’ve split countless logs with it. Just make sure you check hose tightness every so often. With how hot the hydraulics get, leaks can develop from the fittings. A little tightening will fix it :)

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser Will do, have heard some horror stories about the hoses. And thanks again for the video, super helpful!

@@pshep123 luckily the only thing they’ve done for me is leak, but it was never a big deal and I fixed it quickly. And no worries for the video. Glad to help Pete! Take it easy dude 🫡

You’re welcome Gypsy! Thank you :)

For sure Matthew… I’ll be dippin right next to you 😎 Thanks dude!

Thanks Adam! I’m glad it’s helpful and I can try and add this to the list for video ideas. No promises but it’s a great idea and I’ll try and get it done. Thanks again!

Oh, the one thing I might have added is door removal, which is very simple, and makes this go a lot faster (plus easier to clean the oven while you're at it.

Awesome Gregory!!! I’m super glad this helped and got you fixed. As for your door idea… you know, that’s funny you said that. I was going to take my door off and show it. I started doing it, but it didn’t go well so I stopped and put it back! Lololol! You know… I can do a lot, but the door kicked my butt! 🤣🤣🤣 Anyhow, thanks for the comment and support! Super cool of you!

It does JK, normally sluice riffles are designed so that the heavier material gets caught on the downstream side of the riffles, not the upstream. So you want the “open” side of the riffle on the downstream side and the slanted (angled portion where nothing can get caught) on the upstream side. I hope that makes sense. Thank you for the question. I hope it helped! Stoney

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser thanks!

You got it! 😎

Thanks dude!!!

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser I chuckled a little too hard at that one. 😂😂

And that’s why we do what we do… 🤣🤣🤣 Awesome Brother!

Thanks for commenting Bob 👍

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser lol

I like you Bob. A true man of the people 💪 I hope you do have a wonderful day… stay cool my friend :)

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser 👌😎🤜🤛😎🤙

​@@StoneyCreekSparkchaserin all seriousness though, whats your experience with the tar paint? Im doing a fence and I hate doing shit twice. Seems like maybe a good idea.

actually 1:48:30

Lmao! Thanks buddy! You gotta keep it looking good!

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser Made it Through.....It was great dude!

Wow! Thanks dude! Dang! You really trooped through it. Thank you thank you! Now get some sleep!

lol Bent Fork! Thanks man! But seriously, go enjoy your day! I didn’t make the 24, that’s all you need to know :)

Hey Jeremy! I completely understand those concerns and they really could happen. Along with water getting trapped in there and freezing, thus splitting the board in two. Luckily, I haven’t had any problems these past 2 years. There is some water that stays, but I have seen it come out. Also in some some of the boards, I actually added 1/4 weep holes and that helps drain the water out. Anyway, I just wanted to point out some work around but yes… you are not wrong with those thoughts Jeremy. Thanks again for the comment and support!

Aww GP! You and MamaBird are the true Champions for holding in there for so long with me. I’m glad I stopped. My back was so bad towards the end and I just felt like I had the wind knocked out of me. But thank you again! Your support truly means a lot to me… and I’m excited to try this new bug deterrent system!!!!

Thank you sir!!!!

It’s ok my friend! I failed anyway. Too hard :) ok thanks for the notification :)
