    I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoy watching someone who acts normal and presents who he is as he is. I may be in the minority of viewers, but I do get tired of the exaggerated goof ball personalities and click bait. I am more of a documentary type guy and adding in the adventure/treasure hunting/real life drama is exciting in itself. I cant wait until you find those dozen, or more, fist sized nuggets you worked so hard to search for!

    So gratifying that you are able to run even a tiny sample at the mine and finding that amount of gold! Congratulations! Your hard work is going to pay off in just a few more weeks when you’re running full scale! Come on warm weather!!!!

    Andy my man. Right now you are probably waking up, thinking to yourself....man I can't wait to get back out there and mine for some gold. But wait! I have to wait for my premiere to be finished because of all my pesky fans 🤣 Can't wait to see what you have in store in todays video brother!

    Man that’s a great clean up for a small amount of dirt. Cannot wait til you stop scraping bedrock. I gotta feeling you’re gonna hit fabulous ground. Keep up the great work Andy and videographer man

    WOOHOO get that plant turning!!! I am gold miner/prospector in Alaska and I luv ur vids. I wish I could work for a guy like this strait up good guy. To run a mine sight 1 man you have to know how to weld, run equipment without trashing it or killing any 1 and fix said trashed equipment than read the dirt, tune the plant. Be all do all.
    If i had a crew of 5 guy just like Andy the gold we would find. My problem is I can't just drive to the pay:( Up here you find the gold than build the road before any gold is run through a plant. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR FIRST BIG OL NUGGETS. This is 1 Alaskan praying for you to find them potato nuggets. 1 thing don't show youtube the big stuff share to much you will have dirt bags migrate in by the truck load. I have found virgin ground full of pickers 1 guy walked by while i was panning he saw the 10+ pickers from a hand full of dirt and BOOM the word got out and now 20+ guys are now fighting over the gold i found. I saw them dig faster and faster in the bed rock cutting there hands, bleeding the more guys that showed up the faster they dug . The more gold came up so did the blood and then the pushing started. I think if there was potato nuggets there some 1 would have died . From what I've seen when them tater nuggets come out so do the guns. Pure greed made men act like a pack of hungry grizzly bears fighting over a fresh kill or a pack wolves fighting over a gut pile.
    Now I prospect alone. Oh I got dog 3 years ago. His fist time out in the spring as a puppy he saved me from a black bear that was sneaking up behind me. I was panning he smelled it sticking his nose up in the air making me look up wind and 10 feet behind me was that bear. You need a good mine Boss dog he will save ur butt from 4 legged and 2 legged beasts. LOL My pups name is BOSS he earned that name charging the first bear he ever saw as a puppy:) Good luck Andy and dig safe:)slow and steady wins. When do you shut down for snow? up here its Sep 25.

    Mmmm, that mineralization looks yummy! So satisfying that you got to do a little sluicing. Great site setup. Can't wait to see that trommel roll. My guess when I saw it in the pan was like, 1g. I was wrong. That would be nice though, eh? Can't believe you are able to work into the winter. Impressed that you are doing so. Congrats on the goldmine. Looking forward to more episodes. Hang in there Andy! Nice drone shots, btw.
