  • My Gold claim, known as "Dream Claim" has the most beautiful river, as well as some great gold. Today's trip I take the Crux Prospecting high banker in and test a new spot for gold nuggets. It was VERY hard digging, but I did find some nice gold!

      Mining history in BC has had a pretty bad record before these rules were put in. From entire ocean inlet killed, to complete fish spawns wiped out, and in one case a lake filled in with silt. These strict rule all come from somewhere. And miners in BC history have proven what "we" do without the rules.

    Hey Dan! I've had this thought before when I see people hauling gas pumps up to their spot to highbank - with how much fall the river has near you, you might be able to run the hose 50 feet up or something, set the end in the river, and let gravity build pressure instead of using gas. I would think that a long length of hose would be easier to hike up with than a big pump, if it works. I could be wrong about how far upriver you'd need to go to get water pressure equivalent to the pump

    I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now and you have mentioned a couple of times that you are not allowed to let the highbanker effluent to enter the river directly, however they allow you to pan silt into the river. Seem inconsistent, but I assume it is due to the volume of the highbanker vs. individual panning. Also, I have never seen you get a good sized nugget (say 1 oz. or greater). Is there any past video where you have found such a nugget? Keep up the good work. The area you work in BC is absolutely beautiful.

He was very fascinated with watching the water bounce around in your pan. He kept trying to reach into the screen to grab the water. I think I have a water boy in my hands. Maybe he'll be a rock nut like my dad is, who knows?

    I don't know if you've ever answered this before, but why do people claim jump? Seeing the high bankers (very nice one btw) always reminds of it. So far it seems like prospecting is more of a hobby than a serious lucrative career, at least until you find a spot start getting a project underway. Why do they break that law to do it?
    Also again, love the new piece of gear. I can't believe how light that that is for what its doing.

    When quartz is subjected to pressure, it produces a voltage that attracts gold that is dissolved in water.

    Not being cheeky. I have a question. Why can’t the water and sand from the high-banker go back directly into the river. When you pan, the sand is going into the River to make it cloudy.

    I have 5 gal buckets of sand and gravel from out west to pan for fun. Don't expect much, but a trace would be exciting to find.
