Not even enough to weigh! I mean I never tried but if I had to guess 0.1grams 😅 just looks bigger in water due to refraction. But still happy with what I found, my research is paying off, regardless of weight,it’s a fun hobby. Who knows maybe bigger bits will show up in future adventures.

The castle was built many hundred years after his time, however this place has some crazy history.

I did see some small fish, but I don’t fish 😅

Yeah that makes sense man, I’ll try and control the flow better next time. I did lose a piece last time, I thought it was because material was running over it though.

Thanks for the tip. My brother has one of those powerful magnets, don’t think he’s used it like that though

Thanks man, it’s just experience. I’ve still a lot to learn.

Curious is there any benefit to straight wave than swirl? I honestly thought it was a preference thing. I think you can buy extenders for the sluice. I’ve got a huge dream mat already but it’s not practical for long distance walking in my opinion.

@@NuggetNinjaAdventures when you do a straight wave your more efficient 😁 because all the stuff you washed down ,you wash it again,flush it back and start over until only heavys are left . I been panning for a few years -, have a look at. "" Toe toes prospecting "" i think 🤔 he panned a few years too 🤣 have a look at his panning vid 😀 straight to the point - and good tips .

@@mrkus-nc7od I already follow him 😅, not seen that video though. I’ll check it out thanks 🙏

@@NuggetNinjaAdventures Do you know 😁 ? Why there is a Pan called "" super sluice"" 🤔 just a hint 😀 what would happen if you put a gold pan in the current 🤔 and keep feeding it with 1/8 screened stuff riffles pointing down stream , play with the angle and a few rocks for correct flow - i think it would beat your tiny sluice 🤔 plus the super sluice pan is so big you can pan in it ,and pan the material again. I go right to the end with the super pan , meaning i end up dipping the Pan almost straight ( 🌊 in the water the big riffles hold the gold easy just don't forget side to side shake before you dipp the pan . 😀 Never keep filling the super sluice full to the top and see how many pans you can do 🤣 . 🤔 I be watching 😁

@@mrkus-nc7od I’ve got a breast of a sluice 12”W x 36”L and works a treat, don’t even need to classify the material unless it’s small boulders. However it’s a bit of a chore carrying into places, especially the locations I found gold are 1-2hr walks just to get to the spot.

That’s a fair point, it’s not going to be to everyone’s taste.

@@NuggetNinjaAdventures lol ur rigth, i enjoyed for once good music.. : )) and lot of flow water sound inbetween

@@henrikpersson4371 thanks man, I’ll think about the balance between music and background noise next time.

Thanks for the sub man. I’m fairly new to all this too. The glass is really cool, I’ve found a few different colours too. It’s something I never thought I start collecting haha. It does seem a very bright green, made me think was it from an old stained glass window rather than a bottle

Thank you

Even though it’s a tiny piece you never forgot the feeling of seeing gold that you found in the pan for the first time. Best of luck 🤞

I was skeptical to be honest but when I was getting gold every pan. I thought I’d see if the sluice would catch it so started using it again. It takes longer to process material however handy little thing for adventures.

@@NuggetNinjaAdventures I've still not been out with mine yet, but I have three weeks off soon to get out and about.

@@wendypritch well least you know if there’s gold where your spots are then this mat will catch it!

Thank you for the sub chambers, your comment made my day. 🥷

Thanks Colin, it’s hard not to be enthusiastic when you see some colour in the pan 🙌 we’re on this journey together and he’ll pop up in my videos time to time.

I always thought gold was somewhere else like Canada or Australia, once I learnt we could find gold in Scotland I started my research snd documenting my journey. Here’s hoping for many more gold adventures

I think the problem I had with not trusting it is I wasn’t deep enough down to where the gold was sitting, when I started seeing gold every pan I knew it it was time to try the sluice again. It payed off as I caught more in the sluice than panning. Thanks for watching and supporting my content.

Hey, thanks for your comment. I’m fairly new to this but you’re not far off. Glaciers would’ve plucked the gold from the mountains grinding it down as it moves, the depositing it and grinding it again when retreating. From my experience areas with good mixed gravels and mineralised quartz and behind big boulders would be what to look out for.

Thanks Daz, next time I think I’ll head further up stream as there looks to be some good sniping spots and in theory the gold should get bigger. The drones pretty fun to mess around with and great for creating a different perspective in the video as you well know.

Thanks man, the sluice is tiny but great for testing to spots. Honestly the amount of times I’ve carried the 12” wide x 36” long dream mat sluice about to find no gold, was just a ball ache. The area does seem to be a good spot, need to investigate further up stream in future, who knows, could be pickers up there!

@@NuggetNinjaAdventures good luck !!!😉

If I was going to look for gold, I'd do it with a ruck sack of tools. Then you can go where you want and it worked.

@@mazinnasralla2036 I decided , once go to Tyndrum .... maybe ... I m just an absolute beginner 😆 Found my first pieces in this month in Midlothian . 😉

Thanks, it’s good fun messing around with the drone, still new to it so skills will improve in time. Always a great day getting some colour in the pan 🙌

Thanks John, a lot of effort all round but worth it 🥷

Thanks Neil for your support. I got lucky on this adventure.

@@NuggetNinjaAdventures I think it was well earned.

@@mazinnasralla2036 thanks man 🙌

Yeah too right it was hard work! A days work crammed into 20 minutes. Always a good feeling seeing some colour in the pan, rewarded for my efforts.

Thanks man, haha it’s a great feeling when the black sand shifts to reveal some gold. Hopefully many more adventures to come!

Thanks Stuart, much appreciated for the offer 🥷

@@NuggetNinjaAdventures my email is in my description ping me a message I’ll get you on a good spot

Amazing, thanks for your support! Do you prospect in Canada?

No way, that’s amazing, I bet it’s an eerie place at night. Did the ghosts say anything in particular?

@@NuggetNinjaAdventures Yes it did . I dont know if you know the story . The Castle is said to be haunted by a nurse . A child and a soldier. When the Castle was active there was a nurse standing by a window holding a young child . The child leaned forward and fell out the window and down the cliff to its death . The nurse made a grab for the child and fell down the cliff too . I did EVP recordings there and asked various questions to try to make contact with the nurse . I asked her name ,and when I played the recording back later I distictly heard a woman's voice say Mary . Mary Queen of Scots army attack the castle. Maybe she was referring to that . I've seen videos of other EVP investigations at the castle on RUclips. You will find them there . Good luck and take care .

@@keithblaenshet5041 wow that is an interesting story though! I know there’s a lot of history there and I did wonder why the castle was abounded several hundred years ago as it’s a prime location for one. Maybe it just brought misfortune to those that inhabited it. I’ll look up some videos regarding recordings at that castle. Thanks for sharing 🥷

@@NuggetNinjaAdventures Your welcome. Take care.

Thanks Daz, I’ve still a lot to learn about creating good dams and preparing the set up for the sluice, I think I was just to keen to process pay dirt than actually spend the time to set up properly. Like I said in the video I think the sluice I have is great, but totally impractical. Especially for carrying into a spot along with all my other gear! But there’s no motivator quite like getting gold.

I was surprised too! I’m still to earn my name finding a nugget, but small flakes will do for now.

Thanks man 🙌

Thanks for your support! The sniping method is my favourite way of prospecting too. Although my short experience in prospecting I’ve found more gold processing through panning and sluicing. Hopefully my sniping skills are required again in the near future. There’s something special about seeing the gold underwater before suffering it up.

Thanks man, I didn’t try damming the water. I did try to control the water flow with large boulders, however it’s an art in itself trying to set a sluice up properly.

Thanks Wendy, I don’t think I set mines up up the best tbh. However was still catching gold. Also if I was to buy another one, I’m going for a slightly smaller sluice as the one I have is maybe just a bit too big to be carrying on longer walks in.

@@NuggetNinjaAdventures I think your sluice is great. I went for the smaller one for cost, convenience and gain confidence. There's a few videos out there with great tips on setting them up.

@@wendypritch I’ve actually just ordered a smaller adventure sluice, as I also carry my sniping gear and some locations I venture to can be a long walk in so trying to cut the weight down. I do like the big sluice for processing more material. However I think on this particular part of the river it wasn’t the best position for the sluice of that size. It’s all experience and learning from my mistakes. I’m still a rookie prospector, however looking back at my first video I’m seeing progress on how much I’ve learnt. Hope you’re as lucky as I was with the Dream Mat.

Cheers man, thanks for helping with the algorithm and it’s good to know it’s getting out there in the recommended videos. It’s a new found hobby of mines, lots of trial and error finding these places, but always a lovely day out in the highlands of Scotland.

Hi Big Kev, thanks for your support and comment, really appreciate that buddy. 🙌

Thank you, do you think the sluices angle was to steep?

@@NuggetNinjaAdventures i dont think so but bottom was way to deep in the water

@@Glass596 thank you, taken note for next time 🙏

​@@NuggetNinjaAdventuresyou are very welcome

Thank for your support, it’s a beautiful location. Finding gold was just a bonus.

Thanks Paige, it was a great day out 🙌
