Let us know how it goes! :) It'd be great to hear how my SC audience fares w/ this streamlined approach to panning. Thank you for commenting and good luck! Heavy pans, my friend.

@@Oidium45 Yeah, if I don't end up a soft-shelled taco first. Lol 🤣

@@jamesweaver1109 The honor was mine, James! Let's meet up for some gold again soon, man! 😎

You can on the river, but you can on mining rights to the river sections of the river

@mmassehs3251 Can I ask where you're getting this information from? I've seen no evidence of valid claims anywhere in this area, not online nor via any claim markers or posts, etc.

What? Private claims on the East Fork? Where? Please send the information

@@wiseguydigsgold I definitely need to go back to that place! Just the scenery makes it worthwhile. The prospectors I met out there were so cool, too! 😎 Cheers!

@GSProspecting Always good hearing from you! Hope all is well. Keep on rockin' it, man! 🤜

@ArtByMrChris Yeah, that new material layed down by the floods has proven to be very rejuvenating. Holes that used to be 6-feet deep are now covered w/ gold bearing gravels. 😎

@goldphenoms5139 I've been finding a good amount of flakes on just a few pans. More gold than I usually find. I'm going this week again.

It's an interesting little device and I'm still trying to get the hang of it. I've found through trial and error that you must eliminate the little mistakes all rookies make w/ such an item or you'll be forced to run your material through it more than once. ;) Lol You can see, for instance, that AIR BUBBLES are appearing in the water being pumped through it. I accidentally solved that problem by placing my hand over most of the intake for a moment and letting the device "primer" correctly. It is completely self-contained and a tub to put it in and a spoon aside, it is basically ready to go right out the box. In my personal opinion, this device might be better suited to gold that is a bit larger than the micro "fly poop" we often find in the Kern River. I've noted on a few runs through my black sands that it is very possible for gold to be swept out of the mat, especially if you're forced to use faster water when dealing w/ pure (and thus heavy) black sands.

The Haunted Waterfall is what I call it after having TOO many strange experiences there. ;) Lol There is actually a LOT of miner history and lore in that particular location, none of which I really knew until after I started catching things on audio. Because the location is on a private claim, I try to keep the EXACT spot on the downlow, but I'd be happy to show you the spot as a guest of the club who owns the claim, if you make a trip this way to Bakersfield, CA. There may or may not be water running (depending on the rain and time of year) AND the road would have to be open, but once there, you'd probably never forget the experience for the scenery alone! :) Let us know if or when you head this way and I'd be happy to meet w/ you at a nearby Starbucks or perhaps at Hart Park where the locals like to practice this hobby in a gold-laden area open to the public. :) Cheers!

@findinghumorthruitall This spot is in Kern County and kind of hard to get to. Lots of poison oak/ivy around, too. A short travel NE of Bakersfield.

@findinghumorthruitall Fishing is a great pastime and although this particular stretch of creek often has water, I'm told that it's dry again at this time. Maybe when we get some more rain, it'll start running again. Springtime is best imo. :)

@@goldphenoms5139 springtime and black sand ?

@findinghumorthruitall From what I recall, there is black sand on this stretch of water but more to the point, definitely gold. 😎 👍

Hi love to work with you can get you to 10 sec pans first time out Lso 100 3 shovel buckets per hr run

It's so easy to work with. :) Just make sure you eliminate the bubbles from the mat for best results. Have fun!

use the tray to concentrate 3/10 shovels per tet you should be able tro run2 trays per min pan 4/6 sec you will keepto 400 mesh

my first panning championship 1953 50 yrs up red rock cyn 66,000 acres claimed had to create faster way when it went hands and pansall slices throw fines kern has been flipped since 1947 hart park has been sluiced 1000s of times micro is everywhere goes thru tray gets to 400 mesh or 3 shovel tray to panned 30/60 sec

Using tray allows you to classify and p

Pan 100 or so 3 shovel buckets per hr

Thank you so very much Douglas. very helpful. take care and have fun.

Yes it is. :)

@prospectorpete Dear kind sir, that sounds like a challenge. Would you care to put your panning to the test? I just spoke with Douglas and he has agreed to meet you, gold prospector to gold prospector, in a 1-hour Panning Contest! We will choose the time, day, and a 100-foot stretch of the Kern River and you may pan wherever you wish in that stretch (within the boundaries of the law). No sluices, suction devices, or motorized items allowed. After 1 hour, you will have an additional half-hour to clean up your cons via the same tools you used in the prior hour, and the prospector showing the most visible gold wins. Everything will be recorded so as to ensure a fair contest. What say you?

@@goldphenoms5139 definately

I'd be down too! Just hard to get to kern.

@prospectorpete The next time you're in town, do let us know. Give Perth my best. Some interesting gold country out thattaway'.

@goldphenoms5139 yeah unfortunately our Goldfields are in the desert. I wish it was in forrests like Victoria. Where are you located

@@Mattytube18 Got an email? ;) This area of Kern County is great for the outdoorsy type.

When I'm 80, I can only hope that I'm half as good as that man. Thank you for watching! :) Lol

@goldphenoms5139 I would love to learn this technique from Douglas. I always thought I panned fast maybe because I'm still new at panning, about a year in. I really wonder why it takes folks an hour to classify and pan a half bucket of cons. I'm just north of Prescott, Arizona about 7 hours from Bakersfield. I am willing to agree on a meet up somewhere, sometime that works for us 👍 To learn some prospecting knowledge from Douglas and to prospect with him would be a golden opportunity! 😁 Thanks GP💥⛏️

@@tortugalisa4748 I just sent Douglas a text alerting him to your message. Keep an eye out because he will probably respond back to you here. :)

@goldphenoms5139 Great! Thanks GP🤙

Plus it's a whole bunch of fun getting your feet wet in the never-ending search for that shiny yellow stuff! :) As dangerous as this river is, it's a great way to recharge the spirit!

My buddy Douglas is hilarious and his panning skills are legendary. Seeing is believing! 😉 I'm gonna' have to kick it up a notch if I want skills like that someday! Lol

Good point! My friend has a lot more insights to share, that much I'm sure of. Thank you for watching! :)

The best part is, if done correctly, you won't necessarily hurt your back while panning and you get to cool off w/ your feet in an amazing river while it's warm and sunny out! This method makes panning around and testing different locations a snap! ;)

You can contact the inventor directly at: goldshakertable@gmail.com Enjoy! :)

You're quite right. Maybe a cup of coffee right before I go out will do the trick. 👍 Lol

A valid question... But what am I doing that time, water, and floods are not? Additionally, if you go to that spot, you'll see it's packed in once again w/ new material left by last year's flood. I leave it to you to decide if the ecology is significantly affected in a 'bad' way. For my part, I now do my best to confine myself to going after material under the high-water mark of the river when I'm near the park. A little preservation of the banks (marking its liquid domain) can go a long way. I appreciate your comment and this important topic. :)

I need to do a longer video, too. These devices are more appropriate for the casual (or beginner) prospector in my humble opinion, and not so much for serious amounts of black sand (like the poundage I have just outta' sight). Lol

I wish I could. To protect the manufacturer and their invention, I agreed before purchase to keep that as private as reasonably possible. Believe me, I want to help my viewers w/ the best info I can acquire but this is (nearly) the best I could do under the circumstances.

Welcome aboard. :) I've been talking w/ my buddy Nick Cooper who has his own YT channel and we're trying to get some outings lined up for gold-prospecting. If only the rain would stop long enough for us to hit up some of these canyons w/ steep walls and fast-moving waters! Lol :) Enjoy the videos!

I have to admit, it's a beautiful spot and not easy to get to, I might add. Lol

Rancheria Rd. where it intersects the Kern River. :)

Because there are 2 different angles that are very important for different goals on this table, instead of potentially giving you the wrong answer, I'll refer you to the inventor's own video on this subject. He gives you the explicit answer/s for exactly what you want to know. :) The link is below: ruclips.net/video/qZW_dNgyflU/видео.html

@@goldphenoms5139 thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 you are the number 1 👌🏼

Hello, Rob from the UK! Glad to start making my way back for more videos, especially for my international contingent! 😀 It's like the Wild West still in these mountains all around and you gotta' stay on your toes to make it back safely. That place got hit by a storm that packed hail, lightning 🌩 and pounding rain. I'd like to ride out one of those things someday for my viewers and from how the "El Nino" weather here in CA is shaping up for Fall, y'all might get the chance to see such a thing soon! Lol 😆 Stay tuned!

Yeah, just throwing my hat into the proverbial ring yet again. Lol Saddle up, people! There are more adventures yet to come. 😉
