    So I go there all the time with my electric high banker. It’s so much fun to dig in the soil and pull a little gold out from those old tailing and then go home and pan it out. Thanks for the awesome video.

  • @brandeni1785
    @brandeni1785 Před 10 měsíci

    I took your recommendation and went there two weeks ago. Got a few specks of gold. Fun panning experience.

    Hi Klesh,
    I have the prospector and miner sized bazooka sluices that I was lucky enough to buy from the inventor at his fabrication site.
    I spent the day with him and he told me the sluice runs at its best 3/4 submerged in ultra fast water… submerged more than most are comfortable with.
    I basically ran mine with the back fins just above the water line and the grizzlies submerged to the flat top of the front… that would be above the water.
    This way it fully cleared itself every shovel full without any manipulation.
    I could run a days worth of dirt in four hours with those sluices.
    They are my favorite!
    Awesome video! You are back with a vengeance!

    You gotta love doing it. I will never get rich money wise but I enjoy being out at the creek and river and the feeling when you find a little bit of color.

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  Před 10 měsíci

      Even the richest people in the world still enjoy the river exactly the same as a poor person

    @Ltn.Immelmann Před 10 měsíci

    Too bad, the way to your pay dirt is too far for me ⚒👍🤠

  • @MtnManJack

    Clear Creek was a lot lower than when I was there early last month. I didn't take my GPAA Mining Guide to Colorado with me, so I didn't get to go explore any of the claims around Idaho Springs.

  • @coreyperry8676

    Found where you hid the treasure but it was already gone. We did have a good time panning there, even found a little bit

      Well thanks for looking and glad you made a good day out of it! (that's kind of the point!) so mission accomplished :)

    That’s the way it works. The day you have a reporter or someone important observing you, you get skunked.

    @goldgarage8384 Před 10 měsíci

    When I went out there two years ago, it was great! I appreciate how you can use battery operated gear out there as well, to run more material. I heard that on the other side of the bar further up, there is better gold. I also heard it’s private property.

    Oh man, I haven't been there in a while!!! That's where I first met you years and years ago. I still have my vial from that day. It was the first time I ever found gold and garnets, so I had to keep it. 😊

    I see some areas that might produce better even though it's only a couple flower flakes. Good luck, it looks like a tough area to produce. There's no where to pan where I live, you're lucky!

    What size classifier are you using?✌️🙂🇺🇲

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  Před 9 měsíci +1

      I like to use a quarter inch classifier on the river. Sometimes half inch classifier if I'm not using the fluid bed sluice box

  • @26hurban
    @26hurban Před 10 měsíci

    Hi Shane, as always, great video and thanks for helping me live vicariously through you!! Where do you get your prospecting tools such as hand picks from? My interest is in transplanting native plants and saplings on my property and you are the only person I know that is very familiar with how hard the ground is in Cañon City.

    • @Klesh

    Hey Klesh, long time lurker. Ive heard digging the center of the stream and getting down to the black stuff is where the magic is at, considering we had such high flow this year. Havent been out there yet this year, but thats what I heard. Cheers!

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  Před 10 měsíci

      That's definitely true , just a little tricky to dig down right there for me ⛏

    @7:18 Hi, Shane- what size mesh does your classifier have?

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  Před 9 měsíci +1

      That's a quarter inch

  • @JulianGonzalez1974
    @JulianGonzalez1974 Před 10 měsíci

    Great video as always. Do you know a good place in Douglas County to take my niece and nephew? They’re teenagers so we can put in some work.

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  Před 10 měsíci

      Personally I don't but Kevin Singel's book "Finding Gold in Colorado" definitely will put you on the gold!

    The notorious K.L.E.S.H.
    The dark minerals are mafic, having a high iron and magnesium content, sourced from the mantle.

  • @benjaminjackson9634
    @benjaminjackson9634 Před 9 měsíci

    I am trying to decide what size mesh to get for the classifier, the area I prospect in NC has mostly clay. I was thinking of getting the 1/4 mesh. What would you suggest?

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  Před 9 měsíci

      Yeah, a 1/4" is my choice as well. If machines are permitted, try using a drywall mud mixer or paint mixer on a power drill (bring extra batteries) to help with that clay.

  • @brianl2607
    @brianl2607 Před 10 měsíci

    the black stuff is heavy which is why you find gold with it

  • @grinderdel452
    @grinderdel452 Před 10 měsíci

    Is that a panning reserve where your at ,like we have here in bc Canada

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Yeah it's a gold panning park

  • @avgjoeshow4208
    @avgjoeshow4208 Před 10 měsíci

    A metal detector would help find good spots in a place like this right? Will the big rocks and stones inhabit a detectors ability to scan down far enough?

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  Před 10 měsíci +1

      You'd think so, but in an area like this (full of trash, cans, all sorts of metal) it would just be very time consuming without any gold. The gold here is very fine and the best way is to process dirt (lots of it) to find the most gold.

  • @pokeneckjim1375
    @pokeneckjim1375 Před 10 měsíci

    What are your thoughts on panning in South Georgia areas?

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  Před 10 měsíci +1

      I'd first check historical gold mining in that area, then start looking for legally accessible areas. After that I'd start test panning 👍⛏
