    Day 10 of the quarantine and so far I've learned how to:
    Change the hooves of a horse
    properly armwrestle
    blacksmith
    search for Items in a river
    search for gold in a stream

    @icepick832 Před 4 lety +16

    Your panning is just fine. As you said everyone does it differently. I’d recommend feeding your sluice a little slower though. Gotta give the gold a little more time to settle. Overload it and it can just flow right over the riffles.

    I've never been metal detecting, or magnet fishing, or relic hunting, or panning for gold or caving(unless going into "commercial" caves with paved paths count),... the point I'm trying to make is that I enjoy watching your videos, because they allow me to "experience" new things. Thank You for that.

  • @glassontherocks
    @glassontherocks Před 4 lety +3

    "Couch panners" don't get any gold. They just watch us get it on their devices. Anyone who has ever found gold doesn't want to lose it. You always get better with what works for you the best. I liked your video because of the honesty. A lot of You Tubers seed their pans for show. I dam up a small creek to alter the flow so I can clean off the bedrock and then open it back up when I'm done. We need metal detectors that find tiny deposits of flood gold.

  • @socal33
    @socal33 Před 4 měsíci

    This was EXACTLY what I was looking for when I entered my search. We have a small creek behind us with lots of quartz and that black metallic stuff. I'm getting ready to do some panning and you have helped me with this intro. Thank you.

  • @marthariddlegarcia2991

    Chigg, you are right about everyone having their own technique. My dad taught me when I was younger. His technique was to use a combination of the swirl and spill to a forward and backwards motion. He always said the black sand is what you want to end up with and that’s where you going to see the gold. We always had a lot of fun.

    I've got a small stream running through my property. I order a sluice box and it should be in this Wednesday!
    My sin and I have been classifying some dirt from the stream getting ready for the sluice! I don't expect to find anything, but it's something my son and I can do at home! Plus you never know if there is gold or not if you don't check!!
    Love the videos Chigg!! Keep them coming :D

  • @badapple65
    @badapple65 Před 4 lety +1

    I am so happy the Chig is still posting. I am like MANY where it was the chig’s early videos that got me into detecting. Garrett owes the Chig thousands to be fair with the amount of guys like me he gravitated towards the hobby. A good and decent man too. I freaked during his “Time to say goodbye” video two months ago. Any Ass bites that leave crap comments do not take into consideration the hours and hours of free entertainment and education he has provided. They should simply be blocked immediately. This should be a great experience for the creator as well. God bless Beau and here’s to many more years.

  • @ObelixMagnetFishing
    @ObelixMagnetFishing Před 4 lety

    In 1989 I was in New Zealand with my father in a place where gold would be found, but we had never done gold prospecting and because we had previously heard how a farmer found greenstone in an accident with his car hitting a rock , which gave us the idea of splitting a rock to see if there was gold in it, which turned out not to be an easy job afterwards, so we eventually blew it off. I read via Google that gold is found in the Rhine that the ride there is more expensive to get there, so I stick to magnet fishing. One thing I know now that I am no longer a stupid Dutchman and thanks to your videos how or how to look for gold. I dare to doubt whether it will ever happen again. I am 60 and folding myself with my more than two meters in length I already hear my joints creak. ;-)
