California Gold Shiners
Добавлен 21 авг 2011
I grew up in Yankee Hill CA, a small mountain community with a rich history of mining. An estimated 100,000 ounces of gold was pulled out of the ground here and I always wanted a piece of that. Now at 42 I find my self just over the hill in Paradise CA where the 54 pound nugget was found! After dealing with the loss of our house and town in the Paradise Campfire and then covid-19, I decided to spend more time in the hills looking for the shiny. All our gold you see us find in the videos is for sale and will help towards building a new home for our family. If you see something you like please leave a comment and we will respond.
I don't find a lot of gold in every video, we are always trying new ways to find gold and they don't always work out, but when they do its a great feeling. I hope you enjoy getting to see where I live and play. Maybe one day I will move that 1 bolder that has my home hiding under it, but until that day we are having a lot of fun getting off the couch.

we took a prospecting trip camped out overnight. first time staying in this location. I absolutely love the area. Trying out our new night cat tents and mattresses they did not sponsor me but they did send me a free hammock which is not featured in this video but I just want to get to them a shot out because I thought that was pretty cool. Can't wait to get back there next year to scout out som...

I was face down in the water on some good gold when I get a tap on the shoulder, from the law! "Sir, we need to talk to you" After running our names and informing us we needed a permit to look for gold here as well and a limit on tools used, they were kind enough to cut us loose. The only footage I have is on the way out. Better videos to come but I just wanted to share this in hopes that other...

Sniping for gold in the summer is one of my favorite things to do to stay cool. More time in the water means more gold in the snuffer. Hope I can inspire at least one person to get out there and give sniping a try.

Could not have made this video without the help of my daughter and her friends. They all got a little piece of gold to keep to remember this cold Adventure. Hope this video inspires more people to get outside and find that shinny!

Today we are cleaning up some of the mercury in the river leftover from the old timers. There just might be some good gold in it. Let me know if you have ever found mercury stuck to your gold, and how did you get it clean? I hope one day they will open up dredging so we can more efficiently clean our rivers that have become so contaminated from heavy metals.

how to fly home from JPA to SAC Brazil to the USA
Tired of Zero filters inevitable fish odor. I emailed Zero, suggesting that they make their filter housing such that the filter media can be changed...no return shipping of the filters. I tactfully stated that if they are a true industry leader they'd step up and do what no home filter product manufacturer has done. I received no response :/ I'll try opening one of these up with a razor blade. I was pondering cutting one maybe an inch or so down, then adding a PVC union. But your method seems to be less fuss. Cheers
I did do this. Water soak overnight, stirred a few times. We'll see how long it lasts. It does indeed read 0.000 ppm again. No vinegar. No salt. Nothing added. Just the soak in cold tap water. For what it's worth, my tap water is 130ppm. *One note though. It drains slower now. I suspect it's because the carbon and resin media are mixed rather than stratified. In future recharges I will attempt to separate the two and layer with the carbon media on top as it was when stock.
Nice find !!!!
Looking good indeed fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Beware that in a short time bacteria would likely build up and would not be counted as particles... According to the Culligan ZeroWater website, the current filter system is designed to be used with treated, potable water and does not remove microbiological contaminants like bacteria
Outstanding Hack🙏🏽
I got attacked by a river otter there a couple years ago.
use salt water
This did not work for me. It took me like 3 days to figure this out. I tried cleaning it by first soaking it with a salt water brine (like some people mentioned) followed by mixing and soaking with two gallons of distilled water, followed by soaking and mixing with water purified by my other zero water filter pitcher. It never got my readings down to zero again and the particles only increased when using distilled or purified water. It would be nice if someone can show us the exact resin to repack these filters witg, as well as the correct replacement for the cloth filter at the bottom or how to clean that would be great. This was just too much work and a mess for it to be effective. Also, there's the matter of breaking the seal at the top of the filter. Do we just pop it back on without resealing it with some sort of water sealant?
Bonsoir, Attention avant d'installer le filtre dans la carafe de ZeroWater, il faut passer le filtre sous l'eau tiède pendant 10 secondes Bonjour, J'ai fait l'achat d'une carafe ZeroWater de 7l,5, mais on n'a toujours ce mauvais goût su robinet Autre question : Est-ce que ça peut faire venir des bactéries si on garde l'eau filtrée dans la carafe et en bouteille Merci d'avance pour la réponse.
Seems like a lot of work to re-use the same filter.
Had I knew this video was going to get so many views I would have done a better job. I was just messing around board. Thanks everyone.
Research a little more and find out how to clean resin. You need to apply a little logic.. you can't clean with clean water.
WOW that's amazing! Thank you! Just be aware: A recent ConsumerLab test showed a 1,200% increase in microplastics from this filter. Zerowater says it's not true, that their filters don't add microplastics. So not sure if it was just one bad filter that caused the test results. (Microplastics are known for causing strokes and other heart and heath issues, but boiling the water for 5 min. removes most of the microplastics) Microplastics and chlorform (a by product of disinfectants) can't be detected in a TDS reading. So @waterfilterguru had lab tests done on several water filters. Zero did well, but chlorform as well as other toxins was found in Zero filtered water. Zero removed flouride 100%. however Thanks to your video, I might get a Zero again, and run it through an Epic filter as the last step, to get ride of any microplastics, choloform, and whatever the Zero misses. Thanks again, amazing hack!
Apparently TDS meters don't show the presence of microplastics, metals like lead, or bacteria and viruses. They likely don't show nanoparticulates either like components of mRNA or micellar technology used in cosmetics. They also don't detect pharmaceuticals, so you're getting a dose of birth control pills, heart medicines, statins, etc. unless you're drinking sping water or distilled.
👍🏼 although i learn high quality water takes toxicity out of your body so storing water in plastic?!
Lets get the company to make stainless steel pitchers or something. I would like to try to make a stainless pitcher myself just cause the plastic i feel will give out and dryrot/pressure cracks or even get dropped and crack eventually. Stainless would hold up so much better. Can someone tell me if this i a good idea or not?😂
Awesome, this is great and so much less trash by not going through filter after filter. I'm going to try this!❤
Been working for me fine! I just put some distilled water to clean the filter with, and I'm set now. Just wish I'd looked this up when I had 2 filters to do this with.
Having an RO, why would you use a zero water filter? 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Reloading my comments before this dude's technic works. I tried flushing the contents of the filter and lowered to 003 from 048 with just distilled water. Amazing
How did u even open it?
I like your thinking,... Good, & practical too...Smart !
I'm ordering a zero water 32 cup water despenser and doing this until it stops working 🙌 THANK YOU SIR!
Keep your zero water filter jug in the fridge and it will not smell. Try it. Heat makes it smell. So dont store in the direct sun light or heat. Keep in Fridge. Happy Days!!
What about “rinsing” a used filter with H202, Hydrogen peroxide, then rinsing with a gallon of distilled water? (Thought about by a retired laboratory technician.)
I tried this & results weren’t good.
WTH!? I agree Zero water filters are the best by far! But they don’t seem to last! I’ve spent hundreds of dollars over a few years! Definitely trying this. Thanks man! Cheers
Could you give us an update as well...Awesome thank you!!!
We absolutely LOVE our Zero water filters, found them because of a video by Project Farm. Here in So. Cal-SGVWC-our tap water is between 275-300 TDS so the Zero filter lasts almost 3 weeks for us before the water starts tasting and smelling like FISH WATER!!! It's NASTY! It still reads in the mid-70's but tastes like crap. So we go through filters like crazy. The filters state that the life is 15 gallons and that seems about what we're getting. Point being, this gets expensive, but we're addicted to the clean tasting water it produces. Like a 'tard, I saved all our old filters....just in case. Well, now I'm gonna try this little experiment. Maybe we can save some $$$?!?
Does this still work?
Why do you even need zero water with distilled water right there? hummmm?
good question! I had the zero first, the I got the water RO system so I did not have to wait for the water to drip through the zero.
Bad idea adding salt to what's inside the filter, I did it now the reading is back wards plus it made the whole thing bubble up . Any way, just bought a new pitcher with more filter, I like the idea of running two of them once one gets dirty, my word of advice I wouldn't open the filter.
Why have a zero water filter if you jave a reverse osmosis water supply?
I don't see how "washing it" with the same water that's made it dirty in the first place, is going to clean it.
How were you able to realign the carbon and the other stuff.
Nicely Done...😮
How long did it last?
Great times indeed fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Yeah I'm thinking my own but wasn't sure the specific resin used. Mine go bad in a few weeks so thinking of making my own.
watch those Bee's
Nice pieces Man I dug a hole no bees around got about 6-8 inches down took a scoop and maybe 100 meat bees flew out up my shirt bit me all over Didn't expect that at all either 😢 👍🇺🇸⚒️🪨⚒️🏴☠️👍
Dang that sucks! Ya man they got me about 8 times at this spot just this last year. Just like you said I start digging and there is none around and then boom.
Great day out there fam. Merry Christmas fam 🎄😊. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Nice to have a family with a sense of humor 😂. Love you both
Well its either that or go back with some bug spray lol
HEY mister I lost those there a couple weeks ago and I expect you to give them back with the rest I lost that you might find and try to keep. I'll send you an address.
🤠 Claim Jumper!
Nice Gold
Love it ❤
I got poison oaked my last prospect, nice area tho lol
Great times indeed fam. Happy holidays 🎄😊. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
That's amazing! I have always been fascinated by gold refining and mining, I've seen many videos on that subject but I've never lived in the area that would allow me to try myself. Well, at least I can watch you guys do it 😀
As you work with circuit boards, you may want to try to hold on to the gold pins and what ever other gold parts you can find. I have seen lots of refining videos that get some very nice gold this way.
@@SubaruOffRD yeah, been there, done that, not very viable unless you are really into chemistry :D Not really my thing though
This has saved me money. 5 stars
Simple try leaving it empty overnight. It lasts up to two weeks longer.
I never been so happy cleaning the house 😂
I currently have a pur but will be purchasing a zero water! I am concerned about them filtering out vitamins and minerals but yeah still purchasing one!
