if I could pick a time to travel back to it would be around 1840 on the Feather or American rivers(without being killed or eaten) so that I could see first hand just what those virgin streams looked like with gold in them! Nice video.
The Facilitator - I’m sorry, but I have never stolen anyone’s tools. I’m an honest man, with a family and a high paying job. Send me a message with your phone number right now and you can FaceTime me and I will show you every inch of my garage and all my tools. I messaged with your friend right after this happened several years ago and offered to do the same. I hate thieves as much as anyone.
NICE! I think you have beaten my single crack payout! I shared your video on my facebook for ya, its too good not to share. :) Take care and I look forward to seeing more gold from ya!
You have to do your own research on areas to find out where to you pretty much just have to go and you'll pick it up pretty quickly and you buy these tools there a better suction bulb called the suck it it's hard to find and it $70 vs $25-30 for the one you see here
Holy moley! Well done. I think I saw you sucking the gold up so if I'm wrong can you let me know please. Also, what is that bottle jig thingy called? Not a sniffer surely? Cheers.
Prospector Jett. Hey Jet. Which state are you in. I'm so frustrated being in the west that there is nowhere we can (legally) go cheers and all the best. Chris.
Chris Barrett I live in washington state, lots of legal places. basically every single park, and national forest, or blm land is legal here, you just can't dredge everywhere and there are restrictions on sluice boxes. This is my first time seeing someone snipe, idk what the laws are on that, looks freezing.
AMRA is a non profit lobbing group which has 70 claims over 5 states (i think). For a donation $200 a year you have unlimited, year round access to all those claims. Search AMRA on YT. They explain who and what they are in their video's.
Jan Johannes Smith Talk is cheap, and usually ends up ruining a video more often than not. The gold in his pan speaks volumes, and he shows you how it got there...all without words! This great work and I wish others would take up doing their videos in the same manner.
@@genokelly8642 depends, my friend, theres two kinds of people watching RUclips gold videos. #1 people that want to learn or #2 miners "research " lol finding out where your working.
Amateur crevicier. No hammer no chisel? Just scratching n picking ? You could have tripled your take in the same amount of time it took to get that couple grams.
You uhhh realize that it takes a whole ounce, as in about a hundred times what you have there, to get $1300? I mean...it might seem shiny and a lot to you however that was...extremely underwealming.
Chris Harris its all realative. Using this technique, in this highly picked over area its a lot of gold. For people more familiar with the circumstances understand this. I could work my normal job and make 5 times this in a day, but thats not the point.
Dude. I'm working my way up a local dry creek bed that nobody in the world seems to have seen due to the larger river like fifty feet beside it. If I could dig the fucker(as in having any claim to it other than the province I live in owning the land letting me dig ten or twenty feet down) I'd be taking a hundred ounces a day out of it, no word of a lie. As it is, digging shovel fulls into a hand made sorter(I went down twenty feet before hitting clay), I take two and a half ounces in a decent weekend. The creek is about ten miles long before it meanders into a town. I even dug the part of the creekbed in town I could get at and its full of gold too so I have NO idea why in the hell this pay creek from heaven exists. The area isn't known for gold so I guess nobody even checked. Me I was just screwing around and found two nuggets one weekend before getting a serious about it as I could without attracting people. LOL. Anyways, I'm not trying to brag, I'm just trying to understand why that kind of gold is more than a...curiosity to vacationers that want to actually see what real gold is. (the north is full of them...come dig our claim and getcher self some trace gold for $50 or $100 or something). Again, not trying to put you down but that's a LOT of work for that.
bee4pc goldrule There's always that one troll like you making negative comments. Has it ever occurred to you that for some people it's a fun hobby out in nature? Let me guess, you're gona leave me a sarcastic comment. Don't waste your time I won't reply

Jim Griffiths
Biffers? that you?
I used to do that in that river. I lived in oroville.
I love sniping in the American River North fork. Such a beautiful place with calm pools for swimming.
Rip headphone users, great video! Great result!
Muy buen documental se aprecia el cuarzo aurifero,la veta en sulfuros,nota tiene buen área de minado ,muy buena delimitación.
Pero muchas gracias amigo. Si de hecho este área del rio es famoso por tener mucho oro.
Aww man i couldn't here but looks like you did great
get a ping pong paddle it will clear the area fast leaving the gold and save wear and tear on your gloves
That is a very good idea, thank you sir!
Metal spatula sink to the bottom and won't float away
Got to love sniping new subber from Tasmania 👍🏼
I only wish I could snipe your spots. I love your videos!
Nice Color in pan. COOL!
Very nice Shane , seriously need to bust open that bedrock though.
Normally I would, but when I realized how much gold was in it I wanted to take it slow and enjoy flake.
Good
awesome! I can only dream about that here in Minnesota!
Good job man is the most fun prospecten!:)👊
Can not wait to try this in a few weeks
Vo-Gus Prospecting well..... did you try it? Is there a video? Wasn't too gold again was it? 😉

Thank you, it's hard to find cracks that haven't been worked on the North Fork of the American.
Shane Andersen I bet

Fantastic Video 👍🏻
NICE!
I think you have beaten my single crack payout!
I shared your video on my facebook for ya, its too good not to share. :)
Take care and I look forward to seeing more gold from ya!
CrainRacing ig,
I'd love to come learn how to find decent spots from you. How did you build your snuffer bottle? Turkey baster and metal tube?
Nick McKemey that's what I'd like to know.
Nick McKemey Clyde Cox ....I saw the label on it...Pioneer Mining Supply in Auburn, Ca....hope that helps.

👍👍
Holy moley! Well done. I think I saw you sucking the gold up so if I'm wrong can you let me know please. Also, what is that bottle jig thingy called? Not a sniffer surely? Cheers.
@Chris Barrett, both! you have to keep you contents from being blown out when you do it. If you notice he always has the content in check.
Is there a video out of how to make a bottle jig thingy? ;)
Chris Barrett ...the label says Pioneer Mining Supply in Auburn, Ca. I went to their web-site and they have them..
Would the snuffer bottle pick up a million pound nugget that I've found on Google earth
American river in WA near Mt. Rainier?
Norcal off RT 80.
What do you recommend for a full wet suit?
But I would have that rock in 5 peices.
I normally would have to, but when I saw how good it was I wanted to savor it. I busted it up after and got a little more
Planted
SCORE !!!
Are you blowing out or sucking in with that thing? Cheers. Chris. Subbed.
It does both. Great tool that can be purchased at pioneer mining in Auburn, CA

Norcal yes "sac" no , but if you hit the American by Auburn even you will see gold first pan.
Well, how much was that "huge payout"?

A rubber one.
Dry suit with layering system underneath , wet suit wont cut it.
uniform color: spray painted pebbles.
Tim Carter idiot

Clyde Cox Pioneer Mining Supply in Auburn, Ca....they have them.

Amateur crevicier. No hammer no chisel? Just scratching n picking ? You could have tripled your take in the same amount of time it took to get that couple grams.
I did have a hammer and chisel that i used after. I was just savoring the experience. I don't find cracks like that often
gold is a myth
Do you mean gold doesn't exist ?
Mike Mc and the earth is flat

Clearly was panning way to fast. Would have lost at least half of your prize at that speed mate.
looks like maybe 10hr after expenses.
