  • Back to my famous gold claim "Pickerton". And of course we find the big gold it is known for. This time I bring my small high banker down and run some material from a few different spots I was hoping would have good gold. And one of those spot sure did!

    at 20:10 the yellow color of the lead is most likely from an antimony/zinc lead alloy lead likes to oxidize white but antimony or zinc makes it yellow out overtime

    Nice gold Dan. Did Tom tell you about the Persian dougnuts from Thunder Bay? I bought them another box for the trip home LOL. Reg and Tom ate 6 of them the night they stayed here on the way out to you, and they are not small LOL.
    Reg gave me a container of the cons they got during their trip out there and it's FULL of fine gold. I've been using that material to teach my crews how to pan the tough stuff a few teaspoons at a time. We have a small vial with about 200+ little flakes and colours in it now with lots left to process.

    Thanks to Reg for moderating! And thanks to you for giving us some environmental information as you go - I love seeing the combination of care for the amazing place that you are and fascination with the geography of it! It also makes me more inclined to buy gems and such from you, since this way I know it's been gathered in a minimally impactful way!
    Also, I assume you had some sorta light but a headlamp for those late evenings would probably be helpful!

    Another great video that caused my light bulb to turn on. Having seen many old workings and tunnels in my teens near by my Dad's mine (Cariboo) old picks, shovels, sluce boxes etc was seen. The main mode of transport in that time was a Jack Ass or a Pack Mule. It took a lot of time and strength to bring in what was needed to mine. No chain saws back then so timbers were cut by axe. The Old Miner who worked the claim before my Dad lived in town about 40 miles away from the claim. So it makes sense that once the equipment was at a working mine, why carry it back home every year when they were coming back the following year? So that could be why you may find old equipment?

    I would love to come out to one of your claims. I bought a pan and I've tried in Wisconsin. Not the greatest day. There is some gold but it's fine and very scarce. At the same time we workied the outer edge. Not the inner. But watching you has made me smarter. I hope we can go out together. Even if it's on the free river. Thanks Dan for all your insight. I find all of this so interesting. I love your videos. I am thinking of doing some paint videos. I do cars. I wetsand and buff scratches, most places won't do it. Because the don't want to be liable if they burn the clear. I've been doing it for around 25 years so, I have a unique skill.

    Good fever must be real. The fact that you can stare at it and just be awed even if it’s 1.34g definitely legitimizes the term “gold fever” in my book. I’ve never prospected or chased gold but if I did. I’m sure I’d catch gold fever too. They say it’s impossible not too!

    Pickerton looks like a great place for a goldrush-nugget-bucket, given the terrain and the fact in past videos you've mentioned that it's a bit of a hike to get down there, lugging a highbanker and a gas pump seems like a pain....might be worth looking into a nugget bucket

    Have you ever seen the videos of the back country hiking tour companies that use goats to pack gear? It is amazing how ordinary farm goats can scurry over rocks and logs while wearing saddle bags. If you ever find a claim and think, "That claim looks interesting, but there is no way I could pack equipment in there" you might consider borrowing some goats.

    Ok you gold picker love it. Have a task for you when you get bored ! Gather a Black Light (think posters...) and a Sterile lamp (barbers use them) [ electric supply companies] and the Barbars is danger to eyes !!! It is short wave UV and Black light is Long Wave. Job is Luminescence of Minerals - I have a Geological Survey Bulletin 1052-C 1958 (US Printing office) 157 pages. But back to work - Look at your site at night and see if gold bearing glows ! Might be green or red but might stand out. Might be the host rock that indicates that has gold or silver in rocks... Have my copy and lamps for over 50 years ! Long time rocker. Martin
