  • Today I pan and sluice Cedar Creek, which runs from Little Cedar Lake Eastward to the Milwaukee River. We also explore the science of surface tension, and hold today's paydirt drawing!

    Really enjoying these trips out into nature. Just to sit an hear the babbling krik is lovely... Plus getting the kids involved in this ancient pastime keeps it alive. We've just had our rivers shut down by NRW grumble... Thanx Buddy :D

    I finally got my first gold pan which is the Garrett gravity trap, I'm still figuring it out and haven't had much luck finding too much gold. But with time I'm sure I'll get better. It's nice to watch videos like these to give me hope to find some wisconsin gold, but anyways great video and goodluck out there! Also that pay dirt has an incredible amount of variety, I especially like the emerald!

    • @wisconsingoldrush8270

      If you look up how to find the paystreak in a river, basically it is a straight line from the tip of one curve to the next, if you dig along that line, people tend to have the best results. It's where all the heavy stuff trickles along the bottom of the river. Sometimes it's a few inches wide, sometimes it's a couple feet wide.

    I had to look up where cedar lake was, it rang a bell but I have never fished there.
    Cool video liked the footage and the show, you ever wonder how far down you would have to go to reach bedrock here in Wi? I know where I am south of you, we have gravel pits, and one they stopped digging a long time ago and it's a small lake that is one hundred and eight feet to the deepest spot and it is still sand and gravel.

      @wisconsingoldrush8270  Před 3 lety +1

      I think it really varies! In nearby Lannon, they mine Limestone right on the surface. Actually, that gives me an idea. I might go check out a Creek in that town since it's right on bedrock!

      I neglected to seal down that black flap which was there just to direct the water over the dream man and not under it. But because of this, I was worried that the heavies just get sucked under the black flap like a riffle, and then get lost. Ideally I should feed it up higher, though.
