- www.WhereGoldIs.com This video begins to introduce you to the principles that govern how gold behaves in a river, and where exactly it is likely to be found. Gold follows the laws of physics, and this video will teach you how to predict where it will be found.
I’ve herd dozens of people explain how to find gold. This dude nailed it. He talks to people in a way that’s easy to understand. Thanks man.
"Herd" spell check will help you with words that you are not sure how to spell. "Heard" is what it should be. Now all the haters will comment. I'm simply wanting to help this person not look ignorant. Cheers.

It’s incredibly amazing how simple first grade grammar can just be so terribly challenging for many. I’ll never understand it.
Agreed 💯🎉
I retired 2 years ago and bought a new atv, metal detector, slice and other prospecting equipment all told about $15,000 then traveled all over Idaho, Montana and Nevada. So far I have recovered about $12,000 I guess that I am one of the lucky ones and I loved every minute of it, just me, my dog and sometimes my brother....priceless!
i'd say that's probably b/c 'you're a travelling man and u've made alot of stops.'
and btw. u did very well.
i took my son out west(CA) for his 18th b-day and panned and panned and never found one nugget. hit the redwoods and camped on the pacific beach in southern oregon where there were large rocks near shore and on shore.
it would of been nice for the gold we panned to have covered the gas$ on our almost 6000mi adventure. that would of been the icing on the cake.
would u recommend a decent area to try for anybody that might read this?
and colorado. we didn't find any color, only black sand. but the mountain goats were majestic.
I'm jealous bro. Good luck!
If it is so priceless..... why did you tell us how much it cost?
That’s awesome, keep going and I wish you the best on your journey! ❤️
Fella your video has to be on of the best explanations on how gold works in a river ! Thank you for your content. I look forward to watching more.

***To the haters***
This guy has taken his time to share his knowledge and teach anyone how to find gold, and instead of thanking him for sharing his knowledge, or complimenting what a good job he has done making this video, you have the audacity to insult him for the way he pronounces some words... You are a disgusting person!
This is called “virtue signaling,” and it’s shitty. Nobody is making fun of this guy. Shut ur fuckin fuck face🖕🏻
Thanks *Gwitty Voice*
Well said Mr. V,
This comments on this thread are comedy gold...oh wait!
💯
I don't dispute the meaning of the words themselves; obviously, gold is where it is; so is dirt, mold, or air; but the words are used to convey an idea that is completely wrong, namely, that you cannot predict where gold will be. You can. And in that sense, it is NOT just "wherever you happen to find it", but rather, where the laws of physics guarantee that it must be.
I have watched your gold series multiple times. They are great, thank you! Please make more when you can!
Great video. Thanks for sharing only in my second year here gold prospecting in the williamette valley in Oregon. No nuggets yet just fine gold. But I'm glad you show the real success and misses on your videos.
*Very well explained! Its nice to sit back and re-learn the essentials. Thanks for sharing* 👊
agree

Respect ✊
Great video! You don't tend to find this type of knowledge without really looking for it. I am extremely grateful for you sharing your knowledge on gold. You gave definitely changed my perspective on where to find gold thank you so much.
I will probably never prospect for gold, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. A very efficient communication of principles that should be obvious but are not. I watched a different video for over an hour and didn't learn any where near as much.
DukeLaCrosse20 has come to me with you a friend
@@tonymoon7370 What???
Thank you dear friend for explaining your wonderful knowledge of gold, now if Iam ever in a area I have a idea where to look, BLESS YOU!
I thank you for the information. I tried panning once. I happened across a panning club working in a creek. They shared their equipment to let me give it a try. I didn't find anything but gold colored chips and they said it wasn't real gold. But I have to say, it was very relaxing. It allowed me to forget about life's stresses for a few hours.
Some of the best info found anywhere!! Thanks Man!! I wish Id have found your channel before now but better late than never!! LOL!! Take care! Much appreciated!!
That was a amazing friend. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Really well explained also. Thumbs up
Glad you enjoyed it! This was filmed near Grass Valley, California.
I think I good idea where you are : )
Awesome video I wish that I could spend a week with you then I'd be rich with knowledge. Thanks for sharing with us all!
Great introductory video, I appreciate every single word you said. I'm very new to prospecting and your presentation of this data is the most consise and truthful I've found. Thank you so much for your efforts. I am now a new sub to your channel. My best regards to you!
Thank you so much for sharing , you have made me excited to go gold hunting , so informative !
I really learned something new today thanks so much to this guy! Thank you so much, you are so intelligent and so giving. May blessings follow you to your next gold exhibition!
extremely informative! thanks for sharing.
LOVE your accent! My favorite uncle was deaf, and your voice reminded me of him! I had not even thought about him in a long time. Thanks for reminding me of a GREAT fella!
people in New Brunswick speak same, it makes me feel comfy to listen to them. We all have
an accent to others from other places.
@@DlrR77 I have never heard people from Newbrunswick speak like this fellow. I'd guess he has a slight speech impediment. But I'm not from NB just the same.
@paperchasin23 that made him a good guy???
Ohh my
Thank you for the tips. Much appreciated!

Great video! I'm ready to go find some using your knowledge.
bro i love the way you talk lol thank you for the good info... ive been watching a lot of gold panning videos... ur info will be very useful
This is amazingly interesting and informative. Very well done.
Thank you Sir, wish I could go along with you. peace
Awesome information!! Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Very informative video, quite a bit of information that I didn't even know keep up the good work, waiting for next video thank you
Thanks for the good information.

This is just amazing! Such an interesting and informative man! Thanks.
Thanks so much for the info. Gonna get out and find some gold. Oh and you earned a subscription.. Great video keep em coming
Awesome video. This is great information and thank you for sharing.
Best video I have seen yet on this subject. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thank you for the video appreciate your time and knowledge
Nice informational vid. Thanks for taking your time.
There are some exceptions to the rule of that impermeable layer (where gold is usually found in that foot or two above bedrock or some other dense layer of material). I recently heard of a miner here in Alaska that was hiking through an area of recent landslide on the side of a hill. He literally saw and picked up a 60 oz nugget off the ground that was released with other gravels by this landslide. The law of probabilities still applies to gold but it is not 100%.
Yea everybody has a gold story of a somebody finding a huge couple pound nugget laying right on the ground. It's a fun thought but it ain't true.
There's true stories of it happening.
Oh, the stories are often true but they're akin to being dealt a royal flush in 5-card draw. It just doesn't happen that often. Far better chance of being struck by lightning than finding a nugget just laying around. Not to say it doesn't happen - so does getting stuck by lightning :)
I think that nugget is what this guy refers to as "last year's gold." If someone hadn't come along by chance and picked it up, eventually it would have been pushed by the forces of nature (gravity, water, wind) to a lower spot where it would have stopped when it hit bedrock or something like bedrock.
So you could walk around on land recently exposed in a landslide and hope you find a giant nugget, OR you could find the spot where nuggets like this one that have become exposed throughout thousands of years could have moved to and stopped.
(At least that's what I think this guy's message is.)
HowToDrillAWell I’m a royal flush magnet 🧲... I’ve had about 5 live and 10 online playing for 15 years.. so where can I find some gold ?
Thank you for your knowledge
Great information thank you. i would like to go out sometime and try these tips . im in California though so im not sure if there is anything to find. too much city and little wilderness.
Thanks man i learned alot. I have a creek below my house that has alot of exsposed bedrock. Whats the best way to get it out of the water other than a exspensive dredge?
Keep watching the rest of these videos you'll see how I do it :)
Great video, very informative. Smart guy; and he’s not deaf, he has a speech impediment. I have the same one. So for you mean people shut the hell up. You have brain impediments.
I don’t know what the HELL I’m doing why are people so damm IGNORENT.he is teaching y'all.knock off ur. ignorance
being British I thought the guy was a Posh American ? very well narrated and very well informative too.
I didn’t even notice till you said something. My hubby sounds the same but he is hearing impaired.
in the UK we call it B.B.C. english....not quite upper class/royalty but posh all the same
Soul impediments, cant judge lest you'll b judged
love the video very educational thanks for the imput
What a great and informative video. I live on the llano river in the Texas hill country..after this vid i will never look at it the same..Thank you for this video...
A good video for explaining the most common deposition type, but the reason people say "gold is where you find it" is that sometimes it settles in areas where you do not expect to find it.
For example, you could have an outside bend, where you should not find gold, but perhaps thousands of years ago it used to be an inside bend that was collecting gold for a long time.
Sometimes you find a big nugget in the middle of a river.
Sometimes you find it waaay up high in the trees.
It is most likely where you say, but it is also any other place that gravity works.
I have worked a river, which is not supposed to have any gold at all, and found a huge boulder on the inside bend, dug way down to a false bedrock and found nothing, over and over again, nothing.
I try another spot, which doesn't look likely at all, and find big flakes and small nuggets, and I'm not even at bedrock. there's a lot of karst, so maybe before a natural bridge collapsed and formed a canyon there was some deposited here or some other cataclysmic event changed the path of the river dramatically, but it's a river that should not have gold, on a bend that should not have gold, and a pay layer that should not be where it is.
It is where you find it.
Damn, there is not even a gold bearing mineralization in the entire drainage, for dozens of miles in any direction, or any geological formations where it is typically, or even atypically found. Karst, man.
Limestone.
Thank you for the knowledge my friend. Greetings from Australia.
Thank you sir for the information I would love to actually meet up with you to learn a few things
Great video most amazing informative video on gold I’ve ever heard .
I like the humor. "Yes, it's possible a gold nugget rolled down the bank, hit a rock and ricocheted into a tree. It's possible, but it's not probable. It's not worth the time to go look in that tree for gold."
Thanks for your work and knowledge.
love your line of argumentation!
Thank you for making these videos. Great tips!
I'm just getting into panning for gold again. My dad showed me when I was a little kid, it's really fun.
Thank for share, subscribed
I laughed out loud at your gold in the tree comment.
If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been prospecting? Was the summer that just passed your first attempt? Either way, great finds! Once again very informative video, thank you very much for sharing your work and knowledge!
Great video, thanks for sharing it with us!!!!
Thank you for the knowledge and FYI, you sounds just like Kennedy. I subscribed and look forward to watching your future videos! I am also impressed with how you handle these jerks who judge others instead of creating like you. May they reap what they sow
is a water basin a good place to pan for gold?
another fantastic video thank you and Nathaniel your impeccable speech conveys the exact information a prospector needs for success what are you doing this season 2017?
I'm planning to prospect in Romania next spring. I'll probably post some videos about that if it goes well. Otherwise, I feel like I've said all about gold prospecting that I have to say until California legalizes dredging.
very good information, stuff I never thought of, thank you, I will most definitely subscribe.
You just need to get out there with a pan and start sampling; I'll have a video uploaded soon on how to do that, so make sure you subscribe. It helps if you know gold has been found in your immediate area, so it narrows down the places to look.
Way to get her done! I know it was for beginners! But you covered it well! Keep them coming! No matter what we do in life it will make some people Glad some Sad and the rest Mad! Paul.
The "haters" in these comments! The narrator is not being pretentious, or haughty, or condescending. He's trying to teach, period. If you're not learning from him, then go the fuck away! Don't blame him for your thick skulls and calloused hearts. If you've got "advice" to share, do so with some tact, and appreciation for the "place" he's made, for you to offer it.
Good info. I just bought a panning kit, and this video is really helpful only problem is that i live in waushara county, wisconsin.. the rivers and creeks here are almost completely sand and muck. Theres ocassionally a row or patch of basketball sized rocks, i dont know if theyre close to bedrock or not... i did try with a shallow frisbee and im pretty sure i found 3 tiny flakes. It seems like gold judging from the video i watched on how to classify it.
make a video about what you explained here, I will gladly watch it and comment on what I can help out with. Identification, best practices for that area, what places to sample and how based on your area... etc
Gold is literally everywhere, the placer vain runs from Vermont to California.. look for quart's and black sand, rust and orange colored rock ...
Thank you so much for your informative video.
Good lesson and explanation for beginners. A very good teacher, Thank you.
Ty sir, your video is very informative. Well done. Please keep the videos coming..
Good stuff, love yer accent.
Some strange comments here, great little production, well shot and written. Thank you
agreed
*rell shot and witten*
Thanks...very helpful indeed!! I'm heading out tomorrow to a place we panned with tyre hub caps as kids...found some to.
Youre awesome dude!! Thanks for the info!!
Thanks for the time and work for the vid, thumbs up 4 u
Thanks for taking your time to help others!
Very informative video man, thank you very much I’ve recently became interesting in prospecting and I’m trying to learn as much as possible where to find gold. This has helped me tremendously.
Glad I could help, good luck!
Man, thanks so much for making these videos!
Very nice explained, great job
This guy is awesome and very smart....Awesome Video.... Thank you....
good comment - thanks! =)
Thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you for the instructional video. I am just learning so that I can go out this summer (I won't be IN the river, and will be using a metal detector, more for fun and because it's something I have always wanted to do. I will clean up and take out the trash I find, but hope for maybe a little more. ) and have some fun being out in nature.
Anyone who has prospected for any length of time, and consistently makes a profitable income from it, knows that this is true. It's just like poker - it's POSSIBLE for any hand to win the game. You could say that "a royal flush is where you find it"... but that doesn't make it worth staying in every hand just for that small chance. So successful players fold a LOT.
Likewise, successful prospectors pass on 95% of the places they sample and only work the best. Gold follows rules, and so must we.
this makes sense.....i’ve seen so many videos where the guys goes straight to the banks ......thank you for sharing
Usually where I find good high bank gold, it is also good if not better in the water. However, a lot of areas, the water has been worked over, and the banks have been ignored.... which is part of the reason you hear guys say sample sample sample
Very instructional. Thank you.
real stupid question but I figured Id ask anyway.... I was out off roading a while back and a few days before I was there a large thunder storm came through and made the wash next to the road overflow onto the road. While I was driving through these areas I noticed there was tons of black sands on the road, In a few places it was inches deep, this is an area with historic gold mining so is there a good chance that black sand has gold in it? or is that probably crap left over from the mining operations of years past and already picked clean? or its just hit and miss?
Not a stupid question at all. Yes, most likely you were look at gold, as well as black sand, from the description of the setting.
Good question.
Great vid. Thanks for the info.
Thank you for sharing. Very educational. Thank you
Thanks for the knowledge very much appreciated
How to Get Rich Mining for GOLD... ignore the gold and sell tools and supplies to miners.
That's not mining, that's shopkeeping.
Plus most miners make they're own equipment.
Lol!
it' always been so
@@Longashe depends if they pay in gold or not.
Great video...RESPECT...
I used to dredge in California before the idiot Ahhnold signed a bill outlawing it. Moonbeam also signed a bill to continue the ban. I mainly went to the American River, but also did some on the Bear, Yuba and Feather Rivers and tributaries.
This guy is giving you the basics of how and where to look for gold. The suction eddy behind a rock or other obstruction will typically concentrate more gold than a pressure eddy will in front of the rock, but you may get lucky and find larger pieces in the front. Tree roots and moss along the banks can be productive. A good thing to look for dredging are the deep channels in the main water flow. As you dredge them keep an eye out for mercury covered gold. It looks much like lead. A good way to test it is to use a Garrett Gravity Trap gold pan and drag the piece across the bottom of the wet pan. If it streaks, it's probably lead. You can also use a flame or acid to burn it off, but be sure to stay upwind from the smoke & fumes. Since mercury is liquid it flows to the lowest spots in the channels, and it sticks to gold like a magnet to iron. Good luck to all you gold seekers.
A book I found to be valuable when I was a greenhorn was by Dave "Ounce A Day" McCracken called Advanced Dredging Techniques.
Now I have gold dredges, dry washer and other equipment I can't use. Send me a message if you might be interested in buying some equipment.
Thanks for the info, I live by a dried up lake that used to be15 - 20 feet deep was wondering if nature might of made some gold there?
It might have, you just have to sample to find out :)
Thanks for the offer, but I love my gold far beyond it's intrinsic value. I'd have to be very hungry to part with it :)
