- This is an interesting piece of equipment for gold prospecting. Pardon the sound, I wasn't prepared to shoot this but couldn't pass on the opportunity. Info on where to purchase, to follow, or you may email me. Thank you for watching. We appreciate your views and comments. Miner's Camping/Rock Shop phone is 870-285-2722. Check out this great forum: dredgersparadis...
We have all been praying for him, from what I hear he is doing better and on the right path. Only time will tell, we can only stick to our own devices and hope for the best.
Four years ago I lived in Charleston (actually Sullivan Isld.) and never dreamed there would be gold in SC. I now live in San Diego where there is some a little east of here and in the mountains towards Julian. I appreciate the info on the Saruca in a later video and plan to order one for myself. Keep up the great videos with your friends as these are good times for memories later!
@Docdaugh I lived on Johns Island but knew there was gold in the upstate since the early 70's. Actually lived in California too. The saruca is a cool way to get a quick read on a creek or river. We are using it to "map" our new project before we start. I have lots of prospecting friends and enjoy and appreciate the company of each. Thanks for taking the time to comment Doc.
i have only used that type for gemstones and yes small sapphires(different colors) and garnets. I absolutely loved that vacation ( over 10 years ago or so , and should do it again). I live in the middle of california and mainly hound for agate/ jasper and belong to the mineral society. nice to meet you!
Thanks back for the reply. I called Joyce and told her about your video. Your'e right, she is a nice lady. Take care.
I am sure you will , buddy! Once you find your first gold, you will be hooked. It's a great hobby. Good luck!
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. You are right. It gets a read on a creek a lot faster than a pan. Great for gemstone tracking too.
thank you , i had made a simular one with the loops that are used for nedle point- put a screen in then tightened it. it iwas a lighter wooden one, but had done the job. a square one that i used in montana while saphire and garnet mining was my first introduction into the world of mining with it. thanks for the great video and subbed to make sure and keep track of your other videos also.
Great to see a video from you Indy! I look forward to seeing your next one always.
I have never seen or heard of a product like this. It sure worked good. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks Indy!
Very interesting video. I always like seeing new products. Thanks for the video!
Great as always!
Enjoy so much your videos, you won't believe what i have found in the amazon, i live in brazil, im about 1 hour away from the amazon, there's a special lake here, that runs from great great great miles from the amazon river,
i've found so much, and your the one who got me started in this
i'll be making a video soon to show all my finds!
amazing, i'm soon going for diamonds, there's lots of indians, over here who's rolling with diamonds stones
This one is 16 mesh stainless. The company that makes them also offers one in eight mesh. I'm not sure the mesh size is critical as the main purpose is to center and stratify the material. I recently "tracked" the source of some sapphires using the saruca. A handyman like you could easily make one. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
The plastic ring you see in the bicycle rim is a piece of c900 commercial water pipe.Probably 14 inch inside diameter.Doing a good job guys keep up the hard work.
@OPENPEEPER Thank you, Sir. Bo actually made and uses one just like you described. Terry bought his many years ago. I think alot of people will want to make one. That's why all the different shots and measurements. Appreciate the comment.
EXACTLY what I need to get these garnets out of my black sands. Thanks Indy!
Great idea! I didn't think of that. Sure will make that black sand clean up more easy. Thanks!
I can't wait to see your videos. I can feel your excitement. Treasure hunting gets me excited too. I will be doing some gemstone hunts this summer and put it all on video. Good luck. Be sure to let me know when you find some treasure, gold, fossils, artifacts, gemstones, anything!
Wish they were. All garnets but we did find some sapphires in the area. Thanks for watching, Charlie.
Probably almandine garnet. We sometimes find pyrope garnets too. They are different colors but it is often hard for me to tell the difference. I found a nice garnet in my latest gold video, Got Gold. Check it out. It was flawless. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
Thanks roaddog453. It gives you a quick easy read on a creek or river. Then you can move to another location or start working. It works good for tracking the source of gold or gemstones in a creek too.
Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with the magazine.
Ok AzProspectingKid! Going to check out your channel right now. Thanks for watching and good luck with your prospecting.
@aYsDigital Not sure about ingenious but it certainly is a great way to get a quick read on a creek, or ditch, gully, etc. Track the source of the treasure in less time. Thank you for the comment.
@rblood50 Thanks rblood50. I enjoy checking out new methods and different products. It's great to share the experience with a fantastic YT family.
@SamAdsUk Thanks SamAdsUk. We love doing them and getting out with so many different people. We learn from each other, find gold and have fun doing it!
That creek is unnamed. There are garnets everywhere we prospect but most are too small to cut. I found a creek in North Carolina that has nice larger garnets but haven't taken the time to see if they are solid and have good color. Stashed in a bag somewhere. Guess I need to dig those out. Could be cutable stones. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I will make a special effort to look and keep any garnets I find that are large, good color and not fractured to death. If I find any, they are yours. I will also check in some of my ziplock bags. I saved some from some location not too long ago. I am in Florida right now getting beautiful agatized coral and agatized coral geodes. This has been a great trip!
@davinavb Miss you too Ms. D. Thanks for watching. We will have to do a gold panning video featuring you, in Colorado!
@TheJunkSlam Thanks! More videos are on the way. We are tracking amethyst with the Saruca, this weekend. Hope to hit the jackpot.
Well made video. Loved the music too!
Gold is often found with black sand but black sand does not always mean gold is present. I panned a place recently that had so much black sand, the pan was almost too heavy to hold. Didn't find a speck of gold. In our area, black sand, garnets and pyrite/limonite are good indicators for gold. Good luck! Keep trying. You will find some soon.
Thank you for watching. I was planning to just play in the creek that day but luckily I had a mini cam in my bag. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment too.
Correct. Or even use the top of a plastic five gallon bucket. Thanks for watching.
Thank you, Prairie. We appreciate you watching. Good luck with your gold and treasure hunting.
@philstat100 A good, cheap substitute for the green plastic ring is made from a five gallon bucket and some screen. One of my friends made one that way and it works great. Or you can use PVC but it is expensive. I even saw one made of wood. We aren't selling anything. We just like to share information and hope it will help others. More videos are on the way....soon, I hope! Work keeps cutting into our play time.
I love the quality of your videos!
@Docdaugh Thanks Docdaugh. We were punching quick holes with the dredge to try to get a read on the creek. This seems to be a fast way to see if we are in the right place or not. We are finding gold where we least expect it and not so much, where it should be. The picker showed up on one of the flips. Appreciate your viewing and comment.
All the car video are awesome but I'm in love with this stuff!!
Thanks. More gold videos on the way soon.
@rsisawesome80 I figured many would want to do one of their own too. That's why I included the measurements. The screen mesh is either 8 or 16 depending on what you want to use it for. Good luck with the project and thanks for the comment.
@Mrcoynz Thank you Mrcoynz. This was a spur of the moment kind of video and I didn't have any sound equipment with me. Bo, Rusty and Terry are real "characters" and amazing treasure hunters. I like to learn from everyone and enjoy sharing my experience. Thank you, Sir, for the nice comment.
Jerry! That was awesome! Now that I have come out of the dark ages I am gonna watch your videos on YT, lol! AWESOME job, man!! Makes me miss you:-D
very cool crew there good idea may half to get one excelent demo thanks great video love them all thanks for posting cheers
Some make them out of 5 gallon buckets too. Thanks for your input.
@stingray8213 I think they run about 65 dollars, stingray8213. Terry is also gearing up with something similar but I don't know the price yet. This thing is great for gemstones. It led us to a great sapphire location. We will do a video on that soon. Thanks for watching, Sir.
You guessed it! We take the centers to look at through a microscope and then pan them out. The rest of the mound goes through the sluice we had set up nearby. Found some nice gold and sapphires that day. Thanks for watching.
Terry is calling them copper nails. Not sure if they are nails or pieces of drawn wire. Either way, the picture at 4:36 is an extreme close up, still shot, done with a macro lens. The green rock to the lower left, the orange rock above and many of the other rocks are much larger diameter than the "nails." If the larger rocks went through the number 8 screen, it is no problem for the smaller nails to go through too.
@edike Most of the larger and easier material was gotten by the early miners and most of the gold here is fine. You can do $200-250 per day if you dredge and put in some long hours. My best day was about $300.
Thanks for watching, Nick. We have the Crater of Diamonds on our to do list. We appreciate you leaving a comment also.
@bigrigmatt420 We are in South Carolina. We usually prospect in SC, NC, Georgia and Virginia. Thanks for watching.
excellent work for video done on the fly, thank you
I will watch for it. Thanks.
Good luck. I hope you strike it rich. If not, just have a great day playing in the creek.
Not sure Jonathan. Send them an email. I'm sure they will probably ship anywhere. Thanks for watching and good luck with your gold and treasure hunting.
Florida is great for fossils but not gems and minerals. Georgia, South and North Carolina are not too far away though. Good rock hunting up here. Did you check out my golden sillimanite video? Beautiful rocks and they make great jewelry too. Thanks for watching.
@afatbiker You will never be the same. Gold fever has no cure. I hope you hit a honey hole and get more gold than you can carry. Good luck with the prospecting.
@MichaelSwan66 Thanks Michael! More are on the way. BTW, your videos are great too.
Terry, hang in there dude. You remind me of my kid brother I lost to substance abuse.
Thanks. I've been getting email from all over the world, each area has a different name for it. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
@icollectstuffdude Thanks for the comment. It was a quickie but not too shabby. Terry just needs to learn how to speak up instead of whispering! Appreciate the comment icollectstuffdude.
Thank you, buddy. We really appreciate you watching and leaving us such a great comment. Makes it all worth the effort.
You pronounced it correctly. Maybe I should have had you in the video? Ha. Hope to have another saruca video up later this year. Used it to find some sapphires. Just have to do another trip. Got too excited to video much. Thanks for watching.
Crazy and simple! Cool and by the way nice cowboy hat. Cheers
+iSTAYuGO We appreciate you watching! Sorry for the delay in answering.
That was great. you and your buddys should take a trip to the crater of diamonds in Murfreesborough Arkansas. That method will work good. Best of luck to you all.
@MrGaterbait2 Thanks for the info and for the comment also. We appreciate it!
Thank you, Sir. Going to use the saruca later this winter to track down the source for some sapphires and maybe get some gold too. We appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Good luck with your treasure hunting.
Not sure about your area, Joshua. Do a Google search for gold in your area and see what turns up. If not gold, check for other minerals, fossils and gemstones. There is usually some kind of treasure to be found everywhere. Good luck and thanks for watching.
If you want to improve the operation of the Saruca screen simply depress the center of the screen to form a inverted cone. With the cone in the center all of the heaviest material will work it's way into the center so that after stratifying the material fully just flip the screen over on a hard surface and you only have to check the cone shaped pile of material in the center. The heaviest material will be on the top of the cone and if you use a bright flashlight, any gem stones will be easy to spot. This technique has been used all over the world from Africa through India and the surrounding countries even in South America for thousands of years.
Thanks for the info, Sarge. We appreciate you watching.
They are great for reading a creek. Found some nice sapphires using one. Thanks for watching.
Not sure who you are refering to but I am hungry for BBQ too...all the time! Thanks for watching.
real good quality vidio, you should do more for sure,
I rockhound myself. Found some beautiful agate in Florida recently. Show us some of your finds sometime.
@sheadnike Joyce is such a nice lady. Great service on the phone and super quick shipping. I am going to try the Saruca at a sapphire location I know. Hope to find a nice stone to send her. If not, I will send her one anyway for the great service. Thanks Joyce! Hope to meet you someday.
The most common snakes are water snakes and black snakes. They are more afraid of you than you are of them. All the hissing is a warning because they feel threatened. I usually just move away and they will do the same. They like to warm their bodies in the sun on a warm rock. Never been bitten. Expect to encounter them, move to another area and keep digging for gold. Good luck with your prospecting. Let us know how you do! Thanks for watching.
@edike You can make a living prospecting if you have access to good gold bearing areas. It's hard work and some days are better than others. I wouldn't quit a job to do this full time. Consider it a hobby and you will be happier.
Didn't say it is linked to the American dollar. Hasn't been for a long time. American dollars are based on "faith." Also didn't say it was the first currency. Many things have been used as currency including stones, salt, spices, silver...etc. Gold has and still is universally accepted for value. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks Jim. More videos on the way if it ever turns warm!
I don't know of any gold in Florida but there are great fossils. You usually can find some kind of treasure to hunt in every state. Just have to do some research and get out and look. Good luck and thanks for watching.
I does seem cool, but have to say... It looks A LOT like the same thing my wife uses to keep grease from splattering all over when she's makin bacon for supper. Granted her's aint got no bicycle wheel screwed on it, but this does gice me a good idea... for both prospecting AND Breakfast! Keep the videos coming, there great.
Well good luck to you! I hope you strike it rich and everything "pans" out. Haven't heard that one before. Ha! Be sure to take your number 2 shovel and don't forget us poor old country boys when you are on the color.
Thanks Ray. Those boys aren't too pretty but they can find some treasure. Hope to get started on some more videos soon. Just too cold and non stop rain right now.
Thank you for watching. I guess it's easy to tell this video was shot in the South. Can't run away from the accents! Lol. Good luck to you also. We appreciate your comment.
Thank you.
Thank you for watching, Kathy.
2 hour turn around time? Wow, great service!
@ashley41414141 Good for you, Ashley. It's often not hard to find more gold than we do. Some days are better than others. Sending you a PM. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for watching weightman7. More videos are on the way soon.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. We appreciate our viewers. That's why we do these videos. Thanks again.
@iFishVideos Thanks Roger. I am going to try the saruca at a sapphire location I know of. Sapphire is heavy so it should work well. Will post a video of the adventure. Maybe I'll get rich? :)
Thank you for your videos, greetings from Mexico
Thank you for watching, Francisco.
Please tell me where I can sell the precious stones that I find. Thank you
What kind of stones are you finding? Sending you a pm so you can reply. Have any pictures?
Muchas gracias.
Cool! Thanks for the info.
The garnets, if large enough, are semi-precious stones and have some value. The nice sapphires we found at this location are very valuable. I found one over 200 grams. The saruca lead me to the best area for gold and gemstones. Thanks for watching.
Wendy, I believe there are great fossils in SE Ohio. I have always wanted to go there for a fossil and Indian artifact hunt. I would guess there is also some glacial gold in the area. Do an internet search and I think you will find what you are looking for. Good luck. I hope you find gold and treasures.
Thanks watching Eddy!
I have a saruca and bought in Ark when I was going to find diamonds. I found a 37 point white diamond with it..i never thought about using it for gold.
It will give you a quick read on the area you are searching. The more mineralization and heavies in the center, the better your chances are for finding gold. The gold at the famous Candy Branch mine was found using a saruca. Thanks for watching, Joe.
Very well could be. Diamonds have been found in that county. I found one myself but it takes a microscope to see it. Not rich yet! Lol. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Makes us want to do more videos.
Nice gold! Thanks for the info!~
Yep or use old buckets. Thanks for watching.
Will do a sapphire hunt video later this year. Waiting on the water to get warm.
Thank you for watching. We are working on a new video now. Hope you will enjoy it too.
GREAT VIDEOS GUYS!
