great build sonny Jim.......hope you got a nugget trap on that Trommel didn't see one on the back.......that is what we are talking about ....cool miners pick and a shoe to boot hahahahah nice pan of Shiney there my friend ....with that additional 270 excavator you will need a bigger Trommel hahaha great memories right there...love the shot of the Black Bears at the end
Ask Jeff Williams Didn’t have much of a nugget trap no, I had a boil box on the second sluice that I added. Planning on going back next season with a bigger operation. Will make sure I have a defector next time as well! Memories for a lifetime! Hard to match the excitement back home after living the miner life up north. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Amazing jeff commented! Hey where are you mining? I found an amazing creek in west nippising and also a couple rough diamonds. Ive literally been doing what you guys are without knowing people do that lol. Building. Digging looking! I need more man power though. No young guys want to work these days! Except my 11yr old son. That boy shoveled 6 yrds with only a drink inbetween. All on his own. 😅
So, by doing so much of this with your own hands, did you come out ahead or at least break even? This is one hell of a setup and you did one hell of a job getting everything into place! Much respect man.
That was a great first season !! Finding that old stuff is pretty cool !! I was working a claim back in the late 80's out in Hixon and we found rock carvings of people feet. One was broken from the hoe, but the other one was in perfect shape and in perfect balance when you set it on a level surface. What you are doing now is exactly what I am going to try this year myself out back of the Bowron area
I have a family member with a claim right near this one. They got well over 150oz in the 80’s outa this area. I saw some pretty big fist sized nuggets.
Wow great operation!! my dad and I have been dredging in southern Oregon and Northern California with our pro line 5 inch for about eight years now!! Love mining. Congratulations.
That's some serious small scale mining with lots of gold, nice surroundings and nice and professional build wash plant, hope to see more vids in the near future. Starting up my own project soon, sending in environment application this month. Cheers from a miner living in Sweden mining Northern Finland👍
Cool ... My Cousin and I have Gold-Claim's up in that area... I recognized the Wooden Bridge... I know DAN and a few other Miners... I just got back from 2 months of metal Detecting Southern Nevada USA... Hoping to get Up there N-BC later this Summer... I'm from ALBERTA... keep living the DREAM
Great video. Nice fab work. I could feel your excitement as more equipment and fab work started showing up. Folks back home don’t understand it ain’t all about the money. Thanks for sharing your story.
And in 100 years the new technology of gold prospecting will increase 10 fold,, and the new miner will say, they never had this equipment back then and left behind lots,,,, as we do say now ,,, great vid, solid effort mate.. cheers from Australia
That's doubtful... in a 100 years at current rate the leftists will have totally banned all mining due to "environmental racism" and "imperalist selfish" personal ambition!
Looks like things are working great. Nice job on the trommel. love the pictures. Hope the new plant is working out with the new screens. Keep up the great work.
That's a lot of hard work. Have mined the Germanson from the bend to the number 7 pit at the airport , come across 3 different kinds of gold and found the gold in different types of strata. Had one test pan after the hoe opened up a hole at the entrance to Halloways bar and it weighted up a little more than 5 grams, the next day was our best day ever, we chased it for week under that nice boulder clay, then we come across where the oldtimers had creamed it, the Manson's the same way,the going gets good and then you start finding square nails and timbers, just can't believe the oldtimers mined all that by hand.
@@Anthonymoth You bet, still go up there to see friends, worked for a few outfits from 83 to 87 , pulled wrenches and ran loader and cat, keep plugging away at it ,the only problem you find up there is when you go big , you run out of ground quickly, mining underground and washing gold at the germansen pit in the winter of 85-86 was pretty cool. The rules to mine now , make it a game, only the wealthy can play.
rick szabo I bet we have the same friends, very cool that you worked in there. I heard the cleanups out of those drifts were very impressive. I agree, if I went full scale I would mine the bench I’m on in a year and be out of work. Think I’m gonna go back slightly bigger but just do it for a hobby and keep the day job. Maybe mine one month a year sort of thing.
1,436th thumb 👍up. Way to go get it!! Omg, The Karen's would be coming outta every tree you fell and out from under every rock you moved here in Oregon. All of a sudden, once they hear you.....here come the drones hovering over you most of the time your there. Ridiculous
Dude you must be stoked, I was up in that country last fall moose hunting and seen lots of outfits. Looks like your enjoying yourself with the fish too! Ive got a similar size setup in the cariboo, a bit outside of barkerville. But not as good of fishing as seen here, damn haha! Best of luck to ya this year, we just got snow free!
I just love this video... I find it inspirational... Im in a weird place on my life and i hope to my own gold mine... Always loved gems, i worked in mine after mine... But i really want to start my own of with a few friends
I'd say prepere well, be critical about the claim do as much research as you can because no matter how hard you work, the gold in the ground will determen the outcome. Only mine the best place you can possibly find! On average ground you can go bankrupt if critical equipment breaks down once to often
Brand new subscriber. Beautiful work. Where do you mine. I grew up on a mine out by Barkerville, BC. Been logging past twenty years just made the decision to get back mining. Best of luck.👍🇨🇦
Entire disturbed area is re-contoured with fines/topsoil placed back on top and all organic Materials/trees scattered on the surface. The organic material will breakdown and new growth will start.
Awesome man, I did same in Sudan desert in the up north part, we used dry filtration of soil in the bed of ancient valley used to be a path of many seasonable waterways and rivers, at some point my monthly production of gold reached one and half pure gold of high grade close to 999 :) I might be able to share a short video showing how we do that dry style :) Would you pls tell how much it cost -material wise- to make similar trommel as yours considering I can make it entirely my self! I would really appreciate if you could share with us a detailed information on the process required like how to claim and what options available! Thanks for sharing..
Bad ass man! Love the custom work you welded up yourself, looks profesh AF! For any "environmentalists" in the comment section, reclamation after mining actually improves the environment... assuming that's at least half of the dislike ratio...
Thank you! Yes your right, the entire area had been mined twice before me, once in the 1870’s and then again in the 1930’s. But you could hardly tell with all the regrowth, and of course the old timers didn’t even bother with reclamation.
I don't know much about gold mining but i do know a lot about heavy equipment and i would recommend that you get a tracked skid steer for better traction and grip
30oz? I hope in one week or two.. or do you mean the whole season? If yes, how long was the season? Because it looks like you could really make at least 10oz to 15oz a week in average and a 16 week season could really make a change.
Hi, What an awesome story. Is there any possibility that your looking for someone to help out. I am a excavator operator, handy around all equipment, local BC, and all around good guy?
A fairly substantial amount of money is posted in the form of a bond and held with the government. In order to get that money back we have to follow a reclamation plan which includes filling back in all test pits, re-contouring the surface, spreading all soil/organic material back on top, and yes if the government inspector requires we also can seed or plant trees.
Very intresting, sir is any forener set their mine in British Columbia, a small mine just like your mine please reply (is we get land on rent for mining)
Yes ,sir I am an Indian and I am studying in m.sc I watched your video and gold rush on discovery and I also dream to mine in bc but I have not so money to set a big mine so please reply can I set a small mine just like your mine (can I lease a good gold mine in bc canada )
great build sonny Jim.......hope you got a nugget trap on that Trommel didn't see one on the back.......that is what we are talking about ....cool miners pick and a shoe to boot hahahahah nice pan of Shiney there my friend ....with that additional 270 excavator you will need a bigger Trommel hahaha great memories right there...love the shot of the Black Bears at the end

Good stuff man. The whole time i was watching that all i could think was this bloke is living his best life! Keep it up man.
Exactly what i was thinking !
You are a "Man With A Plan" and on a mission! Well done! A pleasure to watch!
That was a great first season !!

Lol you know where this is and you've seen fist sized nuggets eh? Ya sure thing dusty!
Damn buddy, you done a good job on building that! You should put a blueprint and supplies list together and sell them!

Thank you and good luck my friend! I will be mining again starting in May, hopefully get some new videos up then!
That's so awesome! If I could have an operation quarter what you have I would be in heaven! Awesome man! Till then I will pan away and love it!⛏️

Good for you. Great presentation. What a great way to social distance! Thanks
Love it, great job, Greeting from the Adventures in Gold Rush team.
And in 100 years the new technology of gold prospecting will increase 10 fold,, and the new miner will say, they never had this equipment back then and left behind lots,,,, as we do say now ,,, great vid, solid effort mate.. cheers from Australia
All electric excavators... *Remember when we used to burn 10's gallons of Diesel per hour?*
That's doubtful... in a 100 years at current rate the leftists will have totally banned all mining due to "environmental racism" and "imperalist selfish" personal ambition!
Sir please made more videos about place where you mine and how to know which land has more gold
It the weather was 65 degrees F, Sunny and dry all year round with No Mosquitoes, it would perfect.
Ive seen this video several times and i always enjoy it!..sorta peaceful and fulfilling..so whats happening now? You still in the hunt?
Too cool my friend thanks for sharing!
Thinking about trading in ya spoon yet 🤔 🍻🇳🇿.
Very Cool Awesome
Nice set up👍
Moving to South West Montana in May.
Been looking for a good claim.
Thanks for the video
Love the welding skid. Living the dream, stay safe.
Great video. I have a placer mine in the Yukon.
Good show, look like it went well. Solid planning. You look happy it's awesome
You must be from the island! All the vitamin “L” 😁👍🇨🇦 Living the dream bud!
Awesome video. That looked like a lot of great memories.
Awesome video great work on the wash plant thanks for sharing keep up the hard work
Well done! I’m working towards this goal as well. Great inspiration
Looks like things are working great. Nice job on the trommel. love the pictures.
Hope the new plant is working out with the new screens.
Keep up the great work.

You have to admire a man who makes a dream come true. Nice.
Super nice build! Thumbs up to you! :)
Hahaha! The dog just loves the beer!
Great video!!! Beautiful gold!!!
Awesome dude keep going all the way from the uk ,fellow digger driver myself, I'd love to be over there helping you ,epic !
define a season please, and how much of it was not spent prepping the site , and or building installing equipment.
Awesome job new to your channel keep it up i like it
Great Video......Where did you get your tromel plans? It looks great.
My own design!
Awesome video I have a similar biuld on the a trommel every winter I biuld or rebuild a trommel to test out
Germansen from Germany ? There is definitely more gold with you. Greetings and continued success
I just love this video... I find it inspirational... Im in a weird place on my life and i hope to my own gold mine... Always loved gems, i worked in mine after mine... But i really want to start my own of with a few friends

Nice compact set up !!
Awesome video,, the yield will hopefully pay for the cost of upgrades. What level of “reclamation “ is required?
Entire disturbed area is re-contoured with fines/topsoil placed back on top and all organic Materials/trees scattered on the surface. The organic material will breakdown and new growth will start.
The music gave me a major headache but the video was ok on mute.
Helou from finland, great video 👍
Great video! looks like a lot of hard work and memories. 👍🏻
beautiful story! can't wait for more!

the wifes fishin and the dogs drinkin the beer wtf is goin on here lmao...great vid man :)
Looks like I saw some Jade boulders, and Carnelian agates, those are worth money too. what other type of Gemstones may be in the mix?
Great job bud, that build was awesome.
Awsome adventure dude
You are living my dream!
Amazing!
Nice operation.
I have a 304 as well. I am wanting to try this out as well.
Good luck, be safe!

Nice trommel, thing looks hungry !!! 🤦🏻♂️👍🏻
did you find the rest of the old miner?
Enjoyed your video 👍
Very well done!! I enjoyed this a lot.
I don't know much about gold mining but i do know a lot about heavy equipment and i would recommend that you get a tracked skid steer for better traction and grip
Got rid of the small gear, upgraded to a rock truck and front end loader 👍🏻
I sandblasted with you good job man that all looks great
Hey Anthony I once did the same job dog in South America. Can you please tell me how much Diesel and gas did you burn?
Anthony, your videos are great. That trommel is a work of art. How many yards per hour are you running? Looking forward to season 2 results.
This little trommel averaged 20 YPH.
Very good job 👏 dude god bless 🙏 keep it love from India'
Just brilliant thanks for the share, fantastic ingenuity.
Killer vid man
30oz? I hope in one week or two.. or do you mean the whole season? If yes, how long was the season? Because it looks like you could really make at least 10oz to 15oz a week in average and a 16 week season could really make a change.
Well done! Subbed an shared, more please!
Awesome man. New sub here. Heavy pans!
Great Video, well done!!!!Care to share your net, that is the important issue.!
Net Profit? Was just a testing operation, spent a lot and made nothing but established a grade on the ground and going back full size this season.
@@Anthonymoth May the Gold Gods smile on you!
Did your custom machine pay itself off yet in gold
Colorado flourish excavating pretty much! Time to go bigger 😏
That's freaking awesome man get that shiny heavy pans!!!
Dude that thing is awesome! Great video!
Hi, What an awesome story. Is there any possibility that your looking for someone to help out. I am a excavator operator, handy around all equipment, local BC, and all around good guy?
Hi love the video , I thus in Alaska
This music will make me crazy
Massive well done would love to do summit like that
Did you have plans drawn up for you homemade trommel
Living The Dream Brother Let Me Know If You Need A Second Hand 🤠👍💯🇺🇸⛏️🍺
I really like that wash plant. I need to build one
Congratulations
Great set up BUT all season for 30 ounces? That’s not a lot - you should be getting way more with the setup and equipment you have in place
Nice work!
What great progress!! Did you buy that deere with gold?! Haha.
Awensome ! Thank !!!
Impresionante. Felicitaciones por la cobsteuccion de la maquina. Y por el proyecto. Todo un exito!!
Nice work. Beautiful area.
What happens to the land after this process? Is someone responsible for replanting it?
A fairly substantial amount of money is posted in the form of a bond and held with the government. In order to get that money back we have to follow a reclamation plan which includes filling back in all test pits, re-contouring the surface, spreading all soil/organic material back on top, and yes if the government inspector requires we also can seed or plant trees.
@@Anthonymoth Thanks. Absolutely fascinating, I feel I can enjoy these videos a little more in the knowledge it will all be made good.
nicely done!
Very intresting, sir is any forener set their mine in British Columbia, a small mine just like your mine please reply (is we get land on rent for mining)
Your asking if a foreigner can lease a mining claim and mine in BC?
Yes ,sir I am an Indian and I am studying in m.sc I watched your video and gold rush on discovery and I also dream to mine in bc but I have not so money to set a big mine so please reply can I set a small mine just like your mine (can I lease a good gold mine in bc canada )
Awesome man !!! Love it
I would love to do that
Living my dream. Hell ya bro! Everything looks good.
Lucky. Must be an Islander.😂
Michael Vincent haha you bet!
Seen this trommel on Facebook marketplace for sale.
Tax me I'm Canadian I was wondering why only 2videos
