I love hearing you talk about geology. It's really fascinating. Hopefully you come back to Northeast Minneapolis next summer and explain some of the geological features of this area. I know you didn't find too much gold when you were in Ne Mpls, but it's worth another shot, right?
I want to go back and pan 40 buckets. That’s 1 whole yard of dirt. I want to calculate how much gold per yard there is in the river. And not just an estimate. I want to go through 40 buckets. Might take all summer.
never know there may be apay streakin iowa, gold can be found almost anywhere, specially anywhere old
they dig arrowheads round there too no?
I believe so.
head up north to the fraser river .. or hit the upper skykomish near index and up .. head up to the mountains, there's gold in them thar hills!
at 5:22 what are those black squares with white rings around them? chicken wire?
I’m not sure what you are looking at?
Gold Rings?!? Lmao god damn, no children left behind my ass
😆
I need your address.
Creek in my backyard is filled with slate. Central Alabama
@@crisprtalk6963 any gold there?
There is black sand on the edges of the Great lakes Everytime there's a storm new black sand comes...I'm thinking gold is in the lake!
@@me_josh in places there is. But there is also a lot of black sand with no gold in the lake.
M thats awsome platteville is my home town
I still haven’t made it to the mining museum in town. Every time I’ve tried it’s closed.
Love to watch you . Wyoming blessings
@@toddrodgers5108 I spent a lot of time last year north of Casper drilling for wind turbines. It’s the windiest state I’ve ever been in.
Your videos are relaxing, the hobby looks relaxing. Are you an MMA guy? I noticed your shirt for the Cellar gym in an older video. I trained bjj at Matamoros back in the day throughout my 20s 😂 🤙
@@Paulie7777 yep. I was teaching Muay Thai at the Cellar. Now I live too far away.
@@GlacialGoldHunter very cool!!!
That was a lot of fun! Great adventure!
Do a video comparing your lifetime gold with your RUclips gold.
@@waltersvg I could buy a lot more gold with my RUclips gold.
Mr Gold Hunter, do a show about the Flambeau mine south of Ladysmith WI. It's is crazy interesting how much gold got pulled out of it, possibly the most gold ever on earth for the size of mine. Im only 30+ miles away in Barron county and we only have frack sand.
@@ultramagaman4304 that was a copper mine but yes it did have gold in the sulfides. I plan on doing a video there next year. Do people still cry foul about that mine? I know there were a lot of law suits.
Yes copper mine but they got 334,000 ounces of gold and 3+ million ounces of silver. Any mine that close gets people nervous what will happen next with reclaim process.
@ that’s a lot of gold.
@@GlacialGoldHunter yes sir it is! I bet some gold got dropped off that glacier in near by areas also but I have never heard of anything. So possibly, there's a bunch of gold just laying under a few feet of ground near by ( maybe 35 miles away in my back 40 creek). Fingers crossed 🤞. Thanks for your show and happy New Year
When I find glass on the creek I dig I usually get good results as well. Fun videos. Jason turned me on to your channel. Great job.
That was nice of him to give me a shout out.
@ I’m a nor cal flower gold hunter. Never have time to make it up the hill but get good pans locally. Just takes a few buckets to add up. Keep enjoying the adventure and making the videos. Heavy pans.

Im waiting for it to warm up so i can go for the first time. The kid found a quartz rock with some big chunks of gold wayyy up north. I just scrach tested them and they were just bairly 22k.
@@johnkubus8028 that’s super cool. I going to go up north again and look for some quartz gold.
@GlacialGoldHunter you inspired me to keep my eyes out. If I find a source I'll let you know where to look.
I greatly enjoyed watching you work. If I ran across you on a beach, I'd be right there helping you. I find this stuff super interesting. I was an art major and music minor in college but I grew up with rock hound parents. I still love rocks. In college I took a few geology classes and science classes and loved them. Not sure why I didn't change majors. Keep hunting and producing. Your video channel is very entertaining. Thank you.
I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like their geology classes. It’s the best major there is. I’m bias though.
Great video again and a few specks of gold. Sounds like you have a very interesting job. Wish I knew more about geology. Just started learning things a few years ago.
You never stop learning. There is a lot to learn.
Went to College in Platteville 25ish years ago... Do you mark your snuffer bottles and use a different bottle for each location so you can pinpoint where the sample was taken?
@@williamschmiedlin1900 no I was just treating it as a mass driftless zone bottle. I wish I had multiple bottles though.
Another great video! I'm sorry I found you so late. We just moved off our hobby farm with a large gravel bed creek flowing through it. It would have been fun to see if I could have found some gold in my own back yard.
There are always new places to look. But backyard gold would sure be cool.
I think I would enjoy a hobby like this but I’m in southeast WI and I’m not sure there are any areas that would have gold.
The only way to know is to go out prospecting.
New subscriber here, I really enjoy your content. I live in Fillmore county down by Spring Valley. If you do your homework you will find there was alot of iron ore mining in that area years ago. There are places where the iron ore deposits cross streams and that is where you can actually find decent gold. Yes even pickers and occasionally wire gold. Are you going to get rich, probably not unless you could set up a wash plant for mining sand. Remember the old saying, gold rides an iron horse. I look forward for more great content. I especially like your satire. Haha the reporter hit in the face by a fish!!
That’s pretty cool. I haven’t looked around there.
Are you also looking for arrowheads here?
Not specifically. I always forget that there might be some there.
panning for gold rings. How come I never thought of that?
😆
Check - no gold in the drift-less zone. 6 trillion other square miles to verify. 😂. Test, test and test some more. Fun to see your videos and can’t wait for the next one. ⚡️⚒⚡️
Have tried the apple river I have found a few flecks of gold there are a couple of spots I want to check out hopefully this summer
I haven’t tried that river yet.
Are you a geologist? Or
Yes I am.
@ that’s awesome! Thank you for this channel!
Canoe the wisconsin.. there is gold in that river:)
I was in the wrong spot.
Nice it took me a few years to get that much,but I didn't have RUclips ,or really anyone guiding me to where to find the elusive little color I probably threw a lot out looking for gold the size of buckshot ,I had know idea it was so small,but now 20 years later I got me about a half ounce of tiny Midwest gold ,and a ton of really cool rocks
Thants super cool. Every speck adds up.
What a great video! I get so excited to see a new one posted. I want to try some places here in Scott county this year just for fun
You never know what you might find.
Most people didn’t know the Mississippi River was even in Minneapolis. Plus the gold. Thc
Now there will be a gold rush.
I'm just inside the driftless zone in MN and can attest it goes from nothing to decent amounts of till/AU over a very short distance. Like you say, some of the moraines along the edges could be loaded and gradually spread into the driftless through alluvial action. The Straight River in Faribault as a really good example of this, where you can find gold in every pan, but once you get downstream into the Cannon river, practically nothing.
@@EMFMiner cool! That’s very interesting
Cool footage of trout
Yeah! You never know what you will see.
You need to go farther west in Iowa to find gold. Near Edgewood in Delaware County, Otter Creek in Fayette County, Big Sioux River in Jasper County, South Skunk River, Turkey River Iowa River, all have gold.
Thanks for the tip. I will keep that in my list!
Do you ever take your cool rocks home?
I have so many rocks at home I really try not to take them home anymore.
Ive done some panning in the Maquoketa river and have gotten a very small amount of black sands.
I live in the driftless zone near La Crosse, WI and learn so much from your channel! I haven't done any prospecting here, but have this question. We have (literally) tons of sandstone, limestone and cold water agate (less agate) in our yard and layers of quartz crystals formed in the rock. My question is: Would this quartz layer have the potential to hold gold in it? Or do the layers of quartz crystals represent something else?
Good question. Most quartz will not have gold in it. But it’s the quartz veins that come off of volcanic intrusions, or fault veins. It takes a lot of heat and pressure to drive the gold into solution. As it rises through the depths of the earth that pressure dissipates and the fluids can essentially start to boil. That’s when you will get most of your dissolved minerals to precipitate. That’s why I’m always looking for signs of volcanism and metamorphism in the tailings. The quarts you are likely seeing is quartz that was dissolved at cooler temps than would be carrying gold. But that is an assumption on my part. Gotta take samples to know what’s there.
Really educational video! Love it! 😊
Good video.
Thank you!
Awesome! I lived in Wisconsin when I went to college. I wish someone would have told me to bring a gold pan; it would have kept me out of a lot of bars!
Bars are pretty common in Wisconsin. That’s one reason I’ve never had a drop of alcohol. Didn’t ever want it to be an issue so I drew a hard line and never crossed it.
sometimes the best spawning occurs after fighting. joking aside I really like the knowledge of the geology you are teaching us.
Yep, your videos make exploring fun. 🙂
Glad you like them!
There were no glaciers like you think there were everything was deposited by noah's flood.
There is no reason to deny glaciers. You don’t even know what biblical flood geology claims. Flood geologists believe in the ice age.
Don't worry every gold miner has lost some gold at some point lol
I didn't get into gold prospecting until I moved from WI to AK 20 years ago. Little did I know there was gold all around me the 40 years I lived in WI. Great video!!
I bed there is a lot more to be seen where you are.
I'm the reverse of you; I moved from Ak to Wi for college. If only someone had told me to bring a gold pan, it would have kept me out of a lot of trouble! I moved from Wi to Wa, where I still live, and bought a new gold pan to replace the one I left behind. It has been 42 years since I left Ak and 35 since I left Wi. for Wa and shortly after bought a gold pan where I still reside presently. If someone had told me in 1983 to bring my gold pan because there was gold in Wi, it would have kept me out of the bar life of Wi! It's amazing how much trouble a $10-$15 tool can keep a person out of trouble!
@@dirkfrazier9779 We, too, graduated from WI and we both lost a lot of brain cells on State St during our edumacation. 🤣
@@GlacialGoldHunter Oh, yeah. Gold is a lot chunkier up here. 👍
