HUGE mistake prospecting for ancient gold
Went out prospecting for gold in an ancient river channel and found out I made a big mistake. Hopefully this video can show you even if you make a big error, if there’s a will there’s a way! In this video I’m running a highbanker with a 12 V bilge pump. This is essentially a sluice box with a hopper on top to sort out the big rocks.

Join me on the adventure to go search for hidden treasures underwater. On this sunny winter day I can’t help myself. I’ve gotta make the most of the daylight… downhill mountain biking on a huge jumps, off roading, hiking, and best of all diving for lost treasure. What will I find underwater this time? Stay tuned to find out.

I Found an 1800’s Ore Cart! (Let’s get it rolling)
Просмотров 4134 месяца назад
Join me as I excavate this 1800s gold mine so the ore cart can roll throughout the mine yet again! Mother nature gets closer and closer to reclaiming this mine every year. Wet unstable ground has lead this mine to lots of cave in’s, some completely covering the ore cart tracks to where the mine cart could hardly move. Preservation plays a great role in keeping these places here for generations...

    alright, another motherlode miner, right on Nick, looks very nice out there & good gold. In order to save more mining time, I pan to the black sand & put it in a freezer bag & take it home to my Miller table/ V mat sluice that i made, easier to work all that black sand and give you more digging time. Miller tables work great on the black sand. Good job on the vid, hope to see more. Thanks, Serg
