Gold prospecting, mine exploration, treasure diving and everything in between!

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.

Join me on the hunt for GOLD in the California Motherlode in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Watch carefully to learn some gold panning tips as I pan my black sand concentrates from a long day of sluicing for gold.
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...

Thanks man, I appreciate the support🤙
@@Nick.805 You're welcome Nick, thank you
In which of the fifty are you?
This was in California🤙
It should be noted. That you are using a top of the line battery. optima yellow top. Send this video to Optima, and see if they can hook you up! 👍 Don't try that with an average car battery. You will be bummed😢
Most definitely! Thanks for the tip🙏
Get er done
Hey i just subscribed mi friend. Heavy pans all the time lol
Thanks for the support 🤙
Ya got guts, and that's what it takes! I'm headed to the Q on Friday in search of same.
Awesome, I wish you luck! Thank you for the support!
Cool video. Thanks. Consider me a subscriber.
Awesome, thank you!
One thing you’re not short on is guts. Nice T shirt!
Always gotta find a way to make it work😂🤷♂️ well thank you!
That would’ve been a very long walk! But way to get the gold!
Thanks! I’ve definitely got the gold fever:)
I was worried from the moment you took the battery...Was the truck going to start 😁 glad you got outta there and i hope with a heavy pan
It was a close call but thankfully made it out and even good some nice shiny gold🤙
Way to use that prospectors ingenuity. Recirculating those dirty organics are always a pain. Great video, keep at it!
Thanks, will do! Appreciate the support🤙
Hey, I was curious about the knee gear? That's a smart move to protect them from the rocks.
Definitely! I highly recommend a knee pad that goes above and below the knee so they don’t slip off the knee cap🤙
Hey Nick its Justin from Central Coast Prospectors. Subcribed to your channel.
Thanks for subscribing! Let's find some gold.
@Nick.805 yeah buddy, lets get it
Nothing like a little adventure. Stay safe 👍🏼🇺🇸
Hard to beat a day like this in the middle of winter! Thanks for the support🤙
@@Nick.805 no kidding!
Such a beautiful area! Thanks!
Of course! Thanks for the comment.
8:16 that part is so satisfying
Thanks for the comment! Always fun to see the gold poke out of the black sand
sick Yeti
Thanks🤙 by far the best bike I’ve ever rode.
You’re crazy going in the water right now its so cold!
You betcha! It’s a bit chilly but worth every bit of it.
Good video man! I had luck finding some stuff in the upper part of the falls last time I was there. Plus it isn’t as deep😂 hard swimming like 20 feet down in that freezing water
Thanks dude! The upper is definitely a little easier but the lower can be more rewarding🤙
Oooo bro ...iii looking budy tooo find gold... in my country...bro
👍🏼😎🇺🇸
Thanks for the comment🤙
@@Nick.805 you’re welcome
no snow? cant wait to find me some spots ..so beautiful
You betcha! It’s so beautiful out there. Thanks for the support!
Phenomenal 🎉 if your up for going in mines you are on the rite "track"
Haha thanks! 🙏
Head up to the south yuba down river from hoyts crossing take the corner trail. When the powerlines are over you on the river that's the spot. 10 mins off the road easy multi gram days
Thanks for the tip! 🙏 I’ll have to check that out asap.
Nice work Nick. I like how you collect all your concentrates in a container before panning it all out. Great time saver. Also nice to see someone else lay on the mayonnaise as much as I do 😂
I'm glad you noticed the mayo haha! I like to save time wherever I can, just gotta keep an eye on that tub to make sure it doesn’t float away. Thanks for the support!
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
Thanks for the advice. Definitely would be smart bring some bags along. I appreciate the support 🤙
Lol that happen to me several times but are's had a lid on main pipe and fuel inlet could be shut down
You got some nice gold there, and I actually would forget to record also if I was on the gold 😁 #GoldFever
Haha it's easy to get caught up in the moment out there! Thanks for watching.
Are you near the ojai valley? cousin
Somewhat, I’m a couple hours away. Thanks for watching🤙
Nice job Nick! It would've been nice to know the final tally. At least you got some. I would be happy.
Definitely a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion🤙
Looks like a great day on the river!
You betcha! Thanks for watching!
Great spot, man! I'm not sure where you dug, but I recommend digging in the river itself!
Thanks dude🤙 this one was a crack in the bedrock perpendicular to the flow of the river. It started a couple feet under and ended a couple feet above the waterline. Love watching your videos.
@Nick.805 thanks man send me an email if you ever want to go out or callab. Season is basically over, but I'm planning on doing a lot during the summer :)
@@MishaBoylanThat’d be sweet🤙. Season is just getting started by me. I’ll shoot you an email.
Mother load??- the initial first ten seconds which is supposed to grab our attention showed a few tiny flecks in his pan. Please- I know it's tough breaking into the YT scene but don't waste my fu*king time
Let me know if you have anymore gold or need anything from our store...I would be glad to do some trade!
Sounds great. I’ll take a look on your website🤙 thanks for the comment.
Very cool, thanks for putting in the effort and sharing it with everyone.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏 Brutal hike but fun to share.
Great idea, I've been thinking about cashing in my gold and reinvesting into a metal detector, a bigger sluice, etc
I would be interested in trading some gold for a detector if you still have some reach out to us.
Awesome!!
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate the support!
Great video! I just started my own gold panning page, hoping to do the community proud!
Thank you! Keep up the great work! You’ll do great!
Go get some more gold
Remember to bring a la Trap sluice to run your cons through before panning
I’ll definitely bring it next time. Been testing out a few different concentrators, seems like pound for pound it’s hard to beat those.
The river sounds are so relaxing! Really enjoyed listening to this!
Glad you enjoyed it! It’s so peaceful out there.
Wow
Thanks for commenting 🤙
Great job on the video and the gold, Nick! I can't wait to get back up there.
Thank you! It’s a beautiful part of the world.
Looks epic cant wait to get out there!
Soon!!!
Looks like you found a good spot 👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks! This was a pretty solid spot!
Love that green mineral! I wonder what it is called?
Cool 😎
Thank you🤙
