,,,,,,,hey!!.....here,from land o ' lakes,wi...looks fun....can't wait to visit CO.,(rampart range,devils head)....😯..watching this helps the dream!!!......it's all there,just have to work....tnx,pat.
The DREAM is ALIVE!!! Heyo Pat! You definitely have to get out here. There are just so many fantastic places to explore, especially off of the beaten path!
I like your creative hopper! Upcycled plastic drum video in the future...maybe? How did you attach the hopper? Metal and plastic? DIY mining equipment!
Absolutely right Tolan! You've got to really want it. Gold mining is hard and can really test your patience. Have you gotten your highbanker out lately?
ColoradoGoldCamp no I’ve yet to find time between work and nice weather to go gold mining plus got quarantined for two weeks so haven’t had much time to go gold mining
My buddy worked with Colorado Gold Camp to find his claim...one that actually has gold lol...so many claims are bunk it’s hard to find a good one without help from a professional...in my opinion
Hey Captn. To be accurate, you really need to use the true basics: Lr2000, county recorders office, good mapping software and boots on the ground. It all adds up to give you the full picture of what is going on.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp I only use it to find out if an area is already claimed so I don't jump. I can't afford to file a claim for myself, I just enjoy prospecting.
@@captnron59 It is definitely a good resource but there are some errors and it takes a few months for it to get updated. If you compare it with the current Lr2000, then you get a more accurate picture. Good on you for doing your research! Claim jumping is bad. A lot of times the research can lead you to new areas!
Great video 👍🏻lots of good info & looked like a great day. Getto no I don’t think so that’s more like ingenious ingenuity use what you got. Mining is VERY EXPENSIVE for sure. More you want the more dirt you have to move. I like your setup I think it looks awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻be safe & pan on
Thanks Man! I'm actually pretty happy with how the hopper turned out. You're right, mining is crazy expensive! The more you can build from scrap and McGuyver it, the better! Heavy Pans!!!
Awesome, glad to have you here Glenno!!! The first few days we didn't get much for our efforts but the gold is getting chunkier the closer we get to that bedrock!
Hmm, interesting. Yes and no. You can certainly do small scale dredging with a battery running a very high powered electric pump. The solar panel could charge said battery.
best way to move boulders is make a 4-6 ft tall seesaw. 4 inch verical pipe 4 1/4 inch short T pipe that you can put a 12 foot 4 inch pipe thru and with a 4 way clam claw on chain hoooked to end of pipe..grab tne rock pull down on long end of pipe lift rock, rotate it 180 dregrees and lower..for bigger rocks you can use a 8 ft 2 inch pipe to stick out farther inside 4 inch pipe for more leverage..slide it out 2 ft beyond boulder and as you lift the boulder goes the directtion of end of pipe..the foot only needs to be 3 feet long like a +..it would sure save on all that comealong jacking over other boulders..romens used this method made outa wood and on wheels..just a thought for you to ponder
Is there a trick to these dryland dredge nozzles? Ive got a 3in one that wants to blow the water out the nozzle instead of in the hopper, and im wondering if ive got a problem with the nozzle or with how im set up. Does the hopper HAVE to be below the nozzle on a drylander or can it be below like a regular dredge?
For this I used/tried flexseal type stuff in a can and then wrapped/embedded it with a thin piece of ductape. It worked ok. Heavy duty innertube patches work better.
Can you add a drip solution of Jet-Dry when you suck up would that help the sluice collect more gold instead of it top floating out your dredge..... ???
Chainsaw winch time 😁
Oooh yea! We actually busted out a gas powered winch for some of the boulders but work beat out filming. Next time!

Looks like good vacation in Colorado.
A muddy bath and moving rocks, a perfect vacation;)!
I miss Colorado. I'm in Kansas so not crazy far. Where abouts are you?
@@kscory8577 Hey Cory. We do most of our mining between Central City - Salida. Our main Club Claim is South of Leadville.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp sweet. I love the Salida and Buena vista area
@@kscory8577 It's really beautiful down in that valley! BV and Salida have been steadily growing the last few years.
I like your creative hopper! Upcycled plastic drum video in the future...maybe? How did you attach the hopper? Metal and plastic? DIY mining equipment!
Can it be attached to other sluice boxes?
Actually, I did start a vid of that quick build. Might have to put it up since the hopper worked like a dream!
@@SCSColoradoable Yes, it is removable and can be attached to various pieces of equipment.
Nice work, met a guy yesterday with a 2" rig for sale. Now you got me thinkin
These things work fairly well if you have enough pump power and water.
I have a 3 inch one I like
Great work guys it's in there
Very interesting looking ground
Definitely! This is glacial till that has been reworked by ancient rivers. The bedrock should be very interesting!
A great exploration 👍
Thanks Abbas, it was fun!
wow that was a nice day out fam. keep up the hunt. nice AU. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
Thanks Man. Happy Holidays!!
Did you hit bedrock?
Bedrock turned out to be a bit deeper than we had anticipated. We are now very close!
Nice to know of other prospectors in the area. Itching to get out there after I get some work done on the house. May your pans runneth over with gold!
Good luck with the house Matt! The treasure are out there just waiting for you to find them! Heavy Pan my friend!!
I think I'm getting the black lung hahahahahaha
Caugh Caugh....careful!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp Are you challenging me to a walk off!!??
@@diggin3097 Dredge-off!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp that would be fun
@@diggin3097 Get a hold of me in the spring.
like your set up, new subscriber look forward to your video
Thanks BFBoobie! We pieced together 3 pieces of equipment to get this rig up and running!
Great video. If you want something than you have to put the effort in to get what you want.

@@song295 Totally understandable. Over this winter, you can plan for your first big trip come spring! Stay healthy my friend!

Nice! When's part two coming out?!?😂
We moved a lot of dirt Lester! I'm trying to put out a new video every Saturday.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp waiting
Love the H&B Prospecting Dry land dredge nozzle .
How many prospectors does it take to roll a boulder up a hill? 😜👍
Hehe, it depends on how big the boulder is ;)
What did you use to patch the lay flat?
Great video enjoyed what was the end take for the day? I put a like and a sub cheers Glenno
Awesome, glad to have you here Glenno!!! The first few days we didn't get much for our efforts but the gold is getting chunkier the closer we get to that bedrock!
Could you do gold dredging powered by solar panel
Hmm, interesting. Yes and no. You can certainly do small scale dredging with a battery running a very high powered electric pump. The solar panel could charge said battery.
Niiice work guys!
You could use a board to wench the big rocks up. A much slicker surface without the rock digging in.
So kinda want to know the GPH of your pump and what type Water trash? And what size engine are you using ?
Hey David. I am running a Proline 500 pump.
Hi, what pump are you using GPH . And is your vacuum hose and nozzle 3”..???
Thanks
To run the big nozzle, I"m running a big proline hp500 pump.

Have you guys ever dialed it in to catch gemstones? I'm about to make several gemstone claims in Colorado and want to run the placer material first.
I have sluiced for gemstones, but the recovery rate is not very good. A small jig is definitely the way to go.
What size pump were you using?
For that run, It was a 8.5hp + Proline 500 pump.
Good vid. Thanks. What is the white stuff you use on the hose?
Truth
🙌
What did you to plug holes in hose?
For this I used/tried flexseal type stuff in a can and then wrapped/embedded it with a thin piece of ductape. It worked ok. Heavy duty innertube patches work better.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp Looking like I need to join Colorado Gold Camp. I maybe I'll see you this summer.
Que buen video amigo, yo estoy haciendo un cajón parecido al que usted está usando, deseo muchos éxitos, saludos desde Colombia
Pero es electrica?
Need a black light come back and see what other gem stone you might have uncovered
Can you add a drip solution of Jet-Dry when you suck up would that help the sluice collect more gold instead of it top floating out your dredge..... ???
Running a recirculating system with surfactant would work best.
Hard work= finding the shiny.
Roto hammer and feather and wedges can make pretty quick work of those boulders, or setting up a 2 to 1 pulley for your winch
