It's amazing isn't it? No matter how big the operation, it all still comes down to a goldpan! Kudos for testing. If you don't test, you go broke FAST! Great reality vid.A+++
Keep these videos coming. It's great seeing how it's done in the major leagues. The first rule of gold mining is, you have to mine where the gold is. Hope you found some rich spots to dig this year.
It is cool to come across stuff left behind from back in the gold rush days. I was working a claim just North of Barkerville back in the late 80's when I was a early teenager and we dug up stuff all the time. Mostly relics from the Chinamen that worked in camps. This one time that freaked me out was I seen what looked like a human foot roll down the sluice, so I stopped the feed and sure enough it was a foot. But it was carved out of a rock. Later we found another but the hoe broke it so it wasn't in one piece. The coolest part of it was the one foot that was whole was perfectly balanced where when you lay it on a level table, you could slide a piece of paper under the heal. I have been searching for a claim last year and I hope to find one this year where I can work it for the season. Best of luck on this year, and I subscribed so I can follow your journey prospecting
@@YukonAli The claim owner donated both the full foot and broken pieces to the Quesnel museum. with this fast thaw we are having in the Prince George area, I should be able to get into the back roads to test a few places shortly. Good luck to you guys also
I guess im asking randomly but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
Expanded metall and miners moss always works great. Nice vid explaining how you do the tests. It's important that after a hard day's work you have to sit at the camp fire and just breath in the atmosphere and have nice time with your buddies🍺
Well well well ..... that's to show and to tell ,- it could be heaven or hell .... mining and the golden smell .... :) We love your clips ... !!! "DRILL FOR STRUCTURE AND DRIFT FOR GRADE" That's how it's done ,- with our Placer mining "show" to... We "drive" around ( well ..we know where to drive .. : ) with a little Excavator ... digging Testhole's .....and then ..... approx. one cubic yard ( 200 Shovels) in a Highbanker ........ Do that few times and you feel tired ... that's right ! Somebody was walking around with a "sasquatch costume" ... to scare you ... hahahaha Take allways the "sasquatch Blaster " with you :) Thumb up !!!!! And Greetings
wow. im pretty sure that most miners would give some part of their anatomy to get a sluice packed like that! Im not sure all your cleanouts are that nice but still looks great. If it was my setup for sure id have a longer sluice after it because its so rich, maybe with a different angle or more.
Testing is the real hard work for sure, I just have a high banker so I know haha here on Vancouver island it is always a big hike down steep slope to the creek. Pretty much wore out just getting the gear in and set up. But all worth it when you see that colour 🤩
At 1:l24 why not bring the wate to then with a bunch of water hoses. You dont even need a pump, just gravity: Have hose filled with water in advance. Put one end in your water source, then bring the hose up to a point tyhat is higher the locatton you with the water to flow at, tie the hose there so as you bring the hose back down to your dig spot it stays up there. Then unseal the house there and water will start flowing out nonstop. City water tap works the same way, this is how your tap keeps working even when power is out. The part of the house thats furthests wants to make the water get out fthrough the openning at your dig site, but because the hose is air tight, it needs something to replace the now missing water thus it creates natural sucction that sucks the water from all the way at the bottom of the mountain. Notice, you may want to use pipes for the highest point because the huge pressure thasts used to suck the waster puts a lot of strain on the hose and may it if pressure gets too high. And the higher you move the water thehigher the pressure gets.
A friend and i spent a week around Dawson City back in the 90's. Yes there wasn't a day that went by where we didn't get smashed. spent a lot of time at a campground right on what they called Loon Lake? brings back memories that's for sure.
@@YukonAli We were at a roadside campground in the Yukon, cooking up some fresh lake trout and having some beers,when a RCMP pulled into camp. He parks his squad car,gets out and walks up to us and starts talking to us like we were some lost family of his. We shared our salmon and fried potatoes with him. He stayed with us for about 90 minutes shooting the shit having laughs and all that until he got a call to go. likely someones dog missing or something. Anyway. like i said i got so many memories of my time up there. i did a lot of gold panning when i lived in Alaska for 20 yrs.. Stay cool or warm.
Thanks for watching! It has its moments for sure. Make sure you go to my nugget winner vid and leave a comment to be entered for the nugget pendant. Only 5 subs to go!
Simple question: When doing your final clean up in your pan why do use the side with no riffles? We used to make the same mistake and later found that we were losing our fines and some pickers and have since stopped using that method to prevent losing gold.
We pan into another tub and rerun the dirt we pan out so we don't lose anything. I hate those riffles! They seem to catch everything, not just the gold...
Ya got my sub from watching this first video. I'm based in the UK and hope to get back out for some more prospecting at some point. Was going to go for the world panning champions but a stoopid virus canned that idea. Anyhoo, look forward to seeing more rocks gettin washed 👍🍻⛏🇬🇧Rob
Stupid virus is right. Thanks so much for watching! If you haven’t done so yet, head over to the video with the winner of the first nugget and comment on that one to enter the nugget pendant giveaway!
To save yourself alot of time get some differant size screen and screen the bigger stuff off before panning. Also try a long skinny sluice box with small flat screen you can make it out of wood even., it also catches the small gold. I even drilled hole in a thick board , but not all the way thru and it worked good.
Would love a 15 min to 20 min video of you guys just running dirt. You could probably get a lot of views this way. I know you guys have to run it anyway, might as well make one or two videos a week just like it. No music either, i love to hear the rocks clink on the metal, and see the clean up at the end.
As it gets further into spring, how do you deal with the black flies? Not sure thats what you call them, they are the little tiny ones that leave the bite that itches for 2 weeks and come out a few weeks before the mosquitoes.
interesting to discover relics of the old miners, but frustrating to know that the land has already been exploited ... some point they left untouched and it will be the one that will make your dreams come true ... yes, watch your back because that big foot is watching your gold...
Well if you buy a couple acres of beautiful land in Alaska. Rip up every tree and rock and topsoil you can for a couple miles. You have the chance of having a little bit of gold but is it truly worth destroying such a beautiful place for such a small amount of gold?
Hi guys hello from France 😉 Under Covid, it's gold rush at home with rare gold 😛 Big experience, thank you "Miller Prospecting" nice video on youtube Thank you to show me this Good day friends, see you
Haha! Well thank you very much mr. Pitter. That was Allen modelling that beauty of a shirt but I think I need to make up some with my witty sentences maybe? 🤣
Nice job & greetings from Finland! One thing that comes to my mind is flushing the dirt back to river...I dont know the regulations in US, but here we sure like to keep rivers as clean as possible for the nature, so that just "blind my eyes" and made me do my post. Enrichment could be done whit out to make any harm to the nature & waters etc.....Just IMO :)

Great job! Thumbs up for the mod too!
Water flow still looks quite strong for a sluice with that width though..
thank you for sharing the adventure and information and sharing pic of your gold.
Thanks for watching! Cheers 🍻
Wow. I would love learn more about gold mining. Keep posting and thanks for posting and sharing your videos. Cudo's to all your hard work.

Wow - that’s such a cool story! Do you still have the foot?? Thanks so much and I hope you find a claim so you can get diggin’ 😎. Good luck!
@@YukonAli The claim owner donated both the full foot and broken pieces to the Quesnel museum.
with this fast thaw we are having in the Prince George area, I should be able to get into the back roads to test a few places shortly.
Good luck to you guys also
glad I found you guys.... always nice to see yukoners mining.

No they definitely are not always like that but when the odd time we do get that I take lots of photos lol.
Cool video!! I hope to make it back to Yukon to prospect again. It is beautiful out there, Hope you have a great season!!
Thanks so much! I hope you get back out prospecting soon 😎
My family was co owners of Taylor and Drury .Hope one day to travel there .
You sound just like my mom
😊 I would like to meet her!
Nice strategy to get gold, more better.. Thanks so much.
The hard work really did pay off👍🏻 Nice gold👍🏻⛏🏴

Yes I can imagine what you go through but the yellow does make it worth it haha!
Miners moss for the win! Stuff isn't cheap though- paid $1000 for a 3ft by 20ft roll this year but was happy to have it!
I know...it’s really pricey! We do love it as well 😎

That sluice full of gold as initial picture really worked for views.
Is that what did it? I have no idea - I just keep yapping over videos and photos I compile over the year try to tell our story...
@@YukonAli yeah,pretty sure it was the initial gold porn sluice picture,,,gets us all to click,,natural human instinct.

Good Job.!!
