YES exactly - I really just count the gold as a bonus. It's ALL about having an enjoyable time away from the city! Thanks for the comment, I couldn't have said it better! atb -KleshGuitars
Really cool!! I love the VR video idea and also the gopro sure helps thats my next investment. Lots of metals and gold! Nice cleanup too thanks for sharing!
Love all the videos you put out Shane. Realist over fantasy. No sugar coating on what and how much gold you will find and that 50/50 chance of hitting a goldmine. you never know if you don't try your luck at it. Thanks AL
Tunnel One... you found one of my spots from the 60's. The nails are from the rail road and could be worth something historically. The narrow gauge rail road reached that spot September 1871 and the line was torn up in 1941 The trains did not go through the tunnels (1,2 and 3),they were build by the State after the RR grade became available for paving.
After watching your videos it makes it clear I need to get some panning supplies and start panning different areas. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Eric
This is/was my fourth year as a beekeeper. I'm clumsy and knocked over a hive last month and got stung 60-80 times. I've been stung before but that many stings put me in the hospital. Now I carry an epipen. I sold my hives. I need to be gold hunting. Cheers!
this is the first time I seen someone using VR to show a location!!!!!!!!!! I don't live anywhere close to you but if I did you made it SUPER EASY to find! have a great day Bud 😶🌫
We have alot of the little yellow jackets I call 'em sweat bees because they rarely sting but land occasionally and are harmless. Klesh I invested in a DeWalt D5000 Battery operated vacuum, and put it in a back harness. It's perfect for crevacing!!
Yes sweat bees, or Ciphids do not sting. These are yellow jackets, a hornet that are extremely aggressive and have a painful sting. Google "yellow jacket" you'll see.
Really enjoy your videos. I like that you cut to the chase and don't give us 5 minutes of driving down the road and 10 minutes of hiking to your spot. You get right down to business. When you get to California look me up and I'll take you to some gold country spots right near me. Every video you have posted I've gained some knowledge. Even a not so good day prospecting is still a good day and always a learning experience. If you come out here let me know...I have cheap (free) lodging.
Thanks it's good to hear exactly what parts of my videos are enjoyable from someone else's point of view. I think you're the first person to explain "why" you like the video other than just saying "nice video!". Much appreciated, and I got your email thanks so much dude.
I'm very new to your channel I'm the guy who's granddaughter dumped/ate my lil vile of Gold. I'm learning quite a bit I wanted to say thanks and me and my granddaughter wanted to give a little something for your time teaching me different ways to collect some gold and enjoy what God gave us the great out doors. I have a lot of videos to catch up on. We're planning a trip to Colorado this fall. Do you live around there? I lived in Colorado Springs for a time spent time at Fort Carson but never did go panning. I just wanted to say thank you for taking your time to help a novice.
I can't believe I missed this. Interactive Google Earth? That is the coolest directional navigation tool I have ever seen! I live in Oregon but was raised till 11 in Colorado. Love your video's! I heard you were just in Washington? Looking forward to seeing what that is like! Thanks for sharing!
I'm from Michigan, 2 years ago I started Michigan GPAA group , I started at rock Corey pit west side of Michigan . I was paying attention to the different rock's was there my first cons of 5 gallon bucket 2-3 table spoons 6-13 colors , I remember the rock's I have seen in my lifetime different places I seen these rock's, last year I went to one of those places,I have one of hand shovel and put it in my pan, found 2 colors, I'm going back this year to find more, I found out if you find these different rock's you will find gold.
Keep doing this like this, that prize nugget is waiting for you. Speaking of, what is the largest nugget you've found? Also, what kind of scale is that, mine are horrible and won't even read 10ths ? Keep @ it and HH!
I don't plan on stopping until I am completely dead. Ill find one, if not at least I spent some quality time outside! That scale is www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1508386459&sr=8-8&keywords=aws+scale Thanks for watching! atb -KleshGuitars
I like these videos over the ones where you buy the gold. And do it from home. Why do I like them because I like watching where you go. It's more fun that way I think
@@Klesh I completely understand. Anyways, please consider coming out East one of these days. I would love to see you. I really love watching your videos. Keep up the good job.
I have to ask you: do you need to be in a gold rich stream or river to be successful in crevising? I went today just to prospect and didn't find anything. But I did have fun.
How is the river looking is there a lot of ice and snow is there much open places a person can get in to i hope I'm not bothering you by asking all of this i live in Greeley so i have a ways to go there is a couple of places i would like to test pan so i can set the dredge up after the river coms down thank you for your time
Yeah all along clear creek from tunnel 1 to the 119 intersection is open to gold panning for anyone. There's a few other places in Denver as well such as Arapahoe Bar, Big Bend, and a few other locations I show in my videos. Thanks for watching I don't mind the questions
Good video...I liked seeing how much Lead is in our streams...It's over the top...we need to make our fishing weights out ot heavy metal that isn't toxic...Bullets too...
nice video, ive been wanting to do some prospecting around town. for that spot id not use my bare hands first there is a lot of rattlesnakes in that area, most of them are small and do not rattle even within a few feet away. there is a den not far from where you were so just be aware so you dont end up like the guy from a few weeks ago. whats most you have found in a day? i wont ask location because we know that isnt shared lol
I'd really like to find some Rattlesnakes, would make a great video. The most I've found in a day...well that was last year, I didn't weight it up but it was probably 5 times as much, so about a half gram? Something like that? I can do it again and again, just need to run more and more buckets. Unfortuately with my back condition i cannot do it by myself.
At the gem and fossil show today they were selling raw garnets about the size of a marble for $2. The small garnets I find does have very little value, as it's used in the production of Garnet Sandpaper.
wow thats shocking. especially when some garnets are used in jewellery. i love garnets. yeah im a gem nut. u should get a book on gems in case u get something...
Yes. The only HORNET species in CO is the brown hornet. Brown and white. What you saw were "paper wasps", probably. They build the cool paper-looking, gray balls with holes. They don't sting unless you absolutely aggravate them - you can flick them, swat them and walk away. It you're by their nest and poking around passively - they'll lite and sting. Colors can vary but yellow jackets/paper wasp - same thing. Hornet - different.The yellow jacket is a wasp - a very angry type of wasp and bites at no provocation. Nice...
You need that vacuum you made, from a leaf blower, in another video. The same way the dredger's do under water. Just suck out all those crevices, especially way down low.
If you're heading west on 6 from Golden, it's OK to prospect from AFTER tunnel 1 all the way up to the 119 intersection. Only thing to be aware there are claims along the creek.
No warm waters anywhere near this location,,,also has always been private property around that bend....much of that river is BLM but not allowed to prospect...at least last known to me...used to work that canyon early 70's thru about 2000...long before B.H. and C.C. changes...used to be common spot for target practice ,also other side of Hwy on top of hillside...probably find lots of lead if detecting...
The richest areas of Colorado have been worked by machines since the mid 1800's, entire rivers have been dredged to bedrock leaving plenty of "tailings piles" for us in the 21st century to scavenge. I'm sure there are plenty of small unsearched areas around though!
Another awesome video. Too bad that you go to all that work for 4.19 cents. That it what you love and maybe one day that BIG nugget will be there to surprise you. GL & HH
Thanks CSJ, I saw you in the Half Dollar live stream - come by my live stream - I give away Morgans and tons of silver every monday, tuesday and thursday man! Good chance of winning as my audience isn't that big (yet!) atb -KG
I usually do and it's bad how much junk is out there. This place was completely full of iron i'd never be able to get it all out in one trip. Thanks for the comment!
A brother love your show love to send you a custom t-shirts hit me up at my i.amcustomtshirts Instagram page or dm me 👍🤓 be safe God be with happy hunting 🙌

Good idea for a movie. Thanks for watching! atb -KG

Yep, still working on the editing , should be on patreon within a week (within a month for RUclips i'd guess)
Dude, great info.... even directions....150 steps and you will be there !!!!! Good looking out ..... you are a straight up G !!!!!!
It's there for all of us, just gotta get out and do it. I hope my videos inspire people to get out and try! Thanks for watching!
Looked like good fun. Can't wait for my next trip to Scotland 🌄. ... I've got a clear bucket for quick sampling. Cheers 🍻
Nice let me know what you find!
Thanks for the lesson , my exercise and outdoor interest is inspired thankyou

Ya it was fun. Thanks for watching!
You're onto something at that spot. Nice job dude
I just need to dig a little deeper i think, there's more there for sure!
I believe so, im still doing clean ups from our vacation. I will do that all winter. Keep up the good work!
Can't wait for the video to pop up on my notifications that's titled " I'VE FOUND THE MOTHER LOAD!" One day my friend. Keep hunting. Till next one!
Very cool to see there is still some gold in thar hills!
It's out there waiting for us knuckleheads to go get it brother!~ Thanks for watching! atb -KG

Awesome Colorado here I come
Plenty of gold here!
Very cool. I have fam all over that area!! ty for the share!! you'll get one of those killer nuggets one day!!
Ya man! One of these days on the river! Thanks for watching Ravenhawk Coins!
I like these videos over the ones where you buy the gold. And do it from home. Why do I like them because I like watching where you go. It's more fun that way I think
Same here. Winter freezes much of the landscape here in Colorado so outdoor videos are more tricky to make this time of year.
@@Klesh I completely understand. Anyways, please consider coming out East one of these days. I would love to see you. I really love watching your videos. Keep up the good job.
There's tunnel one! Cool hunt. Yeah, head upstream! Good luck.
Stay tuned..I will! Thanks for watching!
Cool! Thank you again!
A tenth of a gram from two pans is actually fairly decent. Great place to crevice!
Hi Shane,That was great.Cool stuff.
Thanks chris.
nice job on the video , waiting to see more
Thanks for watching !
I have to ask you: do you need to be in a gold rich stream or river to be successful in crevising? I went today just to prospect and didn't find anything. But I did have fun.
If there's no history of placer deposits in your stream, then chances are very low to zero you'll find any gold.
@@Klesh Thank you.
I need to go throw a fly back there. do you see a lot of anglers behind that tunnel? nice vid. cheers
I didn't. People spend way too much time in the city, but hey, they can have it! atb -KG
How is the river looking is there a lot of ice and snow is there much open places a person can get in to i hope I'm not bothering you by asking all of this i live in Greeley so i have a ways to go there is a couple of places i would like to test pan so i can set the dredge up after the river coms down thank you for your time

Shane, I'm looking for a really good magnet. Where did you get that one or do you have one you like better?
Check the links in the description of my "gold prospecting at home" videos, I usually leave a link for my magnet there, hope this helps!
@@Klesh Oops my bad. I found it later. Oh and hey, I've lived in the Denver area for years and had no idea about Arapahoe Bar. Thanks.
That spit is the cliffs we jump off into the river also next to PIPE rock
Nice hunt, thanks for sharing it.
Thanks Bill K. for watching!
That yellow jacket was actually a gold jacket protecting his riches. Be careful man, they are plotting against you 😂
Those yellow jackets are everywhere out here guarding all the gold it seems
are you allowed to metal detect golden parks, also if you are allowed to, do you need a permit
You're allowed to metal detect in parks in Golden, no permit required.
nice video, ive been wanting to do some prospecting around town. for that spot id not use my bare hands first there is a lot of rattlesnakes in that area, most of them are small and do not rattle even within a few feet away. there is a den not far from where you were so just be aware so you dont end up like the guy from a few weeks ago.

I miss home!..aww man!..and springs too..im gonna move back!!soon!
Come on back, It's great here as you know!
i do have a more interesting question for u. dont u keep the garnets. coz they r worth a bit of money as well???
At the gem and fossil show today they were selling raw garnets about the size of a marble for $2. The small garnets I find does have very little value, as it's used in the production of Garnet Sandpaper.
wow thats shocking. especially when some garnets are used in jewellery. i love garnets. yeah im a gem nut. u should get a book on gems in case u get something...
Was that a lil nugget sitting on the rock just left of your left hand at 1:57?
Thank you Andrew Altschwager!
Loved this video
Thanks Laura! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great. Place good dirt love those so rocks wowww
Great stuff man! Is a yellow jacket a wasp?
A yellow jacket is a hornet. A very angry type of hornet.
You can swat them when they're flying & can't sting or bite when they're in the air.
Yes. The only HORNET species in CO is the brown hornet. Brown and white. What you saw were "paper wasps", probably. They build the cool paper-looking, gray balls with holes.

You need that vacuum you made, from a leaf blower, in another video. The same way the dredger's do under water. Just suck out all those crevices, especially way down low.
I can do that for sure. It's small and portable enough.
Great vis
Thanks!
Did the flood a few years ago reposition things over in that area, l always have wanted to play around to see, som3 how I never seem to get a chance
Yeah it's possible these heavies were deposited from the flood. I don't know how else they could have gotten up there.
How far up clear creek is it legal to prospect? Without needing a permit or some type of claim
If you're heading west on 6 from Golden, it's OK to prospect from AFTER tunnel 1 all the way up to the 119 intersection. Only thing to be aware there are claims along the creek.
You know what they say... yellow jackets, yellow nuggets!
(just made that up)
LMFAO been at that exact spot looking for Forest Fenn loot. Love the Rockies.
I'd like to find that too! I think it's in NM actually. Near Taos.
No warm waters anywhere near this location,,,also has always been private property around that bend....much of that river is BLM but not allowed to prospect...at least last known to me...used to work that canyon early 70's thru about 2000...long before B.H. and C.C. changes...used to be common spot for target practice ,also other side of Hwy on top of hillside...probably find lots of lead if detecting...
I know where the loot is hidden
Cool hunt
Thanks Kathryn!
GREAT VIDEO ENJOYED GL&HH
Thank you buddy!
Is there any place in Colorado where you can find little nuggets lol Ike pioneer Pauly? Also is there any place you can go river digging in Colorado?
The richest areas of Colorado have been worked by machines since the mid 1800's, entire rivers have been dredged to bedrock leaving plenty of "tailings piles" for us in the 21st century to scavenge. I'm sure there are plenty of small unsearched areas around though!
@@Klesh Appreciate the information! I'm close to cripple Creek and have really wanted to get out and give it a go!
Great video.
Thanks Steven!
Looks like a battery powered shop vac would have came in handy : )

Thanks ! It's a good time out there so I don't mind! Thanks for watching! PS I just packed your coins up and shipping them off ASAP!
Nice👍🏻. Hopefully you’ll find a nugget one day. 🤛
Oh ya buddy..the nugget will be mine!
im coming out this coming spring me and a couple of guys to get away on like a men retreat and thats what we have chose to is a little panning
Good choice, it's a great time on the river away from the city - have a good time!
clear creek has some gold and lots of lead. I wonder what it was like a hundred years ago??
Probably more gold and less lead!
most definitely
cool video.
Thanks Cass!
I always keep some raw hamburger in my pocket encase i come across yellow jackets.
Okay thanks
Sure!
Where you found the penny I saw gold in bedrock.
It's possible! Lots of heavies there where the coins and nails fall out of the water
I don't know why you put the trash back into the river.
Do you actually live in CO?
Yes I moved to the Denver area in 2016. I still live here just purchased a home last year.
@@Klesh You are so fast! I live in the Boulder area and Ill totally pay you to teach me your ways or show me some places to detect!
its odd hearing u call them yellow jackets. coz here in the uk we know them as wasps.
Didn't know you guys called them "wasps", makes sense because that's what they are!
$4 /bucket isn't bad if you had 50 buckets, nice!
Thanks Paul Carkhuff for watching!
I would love to have that much gold just so I could look at it and dream.
I agree Pamela Presley, and thanks for watching!
hey young man how far up clear Creek have you been I'm so ready to get in the river and if you ever want to get together let me know
I've been on Clear Creek from inside Denver all the way up to route 119.
2:03 nuggets on the left.
Nope, I wish though!
