Hello and welcome to episode 68 of West Coast Gold Prospecting. Today I am using my small highbanker to find some gold. I brought my son Tanner for a little extra help and he did great.
Hello again from Fiji Islands, I enjoyed watching your video. You got some good gold, well done. We just recently bought the Keene mini max high banker and enjoying the fun. Thanks for sharing, and until next time. Have a great week Natalie 🙋♀️😉👍
Nice one damon I live for flood gold. Just went to my spot today. Those mighty max keene are nice. Great to see u and ur mining partner get some gold. Thanks for sharing
Awesome video! Not bad colour at all, some of those bits were actually rather large It was suprising to see those show up that high above the river (altough I guess thats how it is like our biggest picker/small nugget was on a clay bank well above the water level). Keep it up!
@@WestCoastGoldProspecting I am good. Been working my guiding business and haven't really had a day off in over two months! I can't wait to get back to prospecting!
New Subscriber and fellow prospector. Just found your channel and really enjoyed watching you and your son get rewarded for all your hard work. Awesome Job on gettin that Gold! - Tony
Damon great job on the gold but even better raising Tanner....its very obvious he's got your easy-going niceness....the world needs more so keep breeding!
I appreciate all you guys taking the time to record and share your days. It's the next best thing to prospecting and the company is great! It's wild how the youtube community is brought together regardless of where you are located. Where was this 30 years ago....
Damon, first time here (i think). Great golden smile in that pan, Tater. Can only imagine how much you'd got if you worked it all day. Looks like Tater-tot getting a handle on it. Going to be a good hand. May all your days be golden.
Thanks man, he somewhat enjoys it. Trying to do it more often. Before I started making videos, my dad was with me out here until the cancer got him. He was my best friend and the best dad a kid could ask for. 😞
Looks nice brother... Down south we have so much black sand it's tough to catch the fine gold. Low and slow several clean ups..you can scrub the box with your hand but when the riffs pack up time to clean up....stay warm and the bottom be yeller
I am new to this. My brother and I want to start prospecting / rock hounding / dredging. We are in Linn County Oregon. Being disabled frees up our time for sure lol
You know that the angle is too high. You are losing gold . And having to feed much slower. Set it at half it's current height/angle. Smaller shovels but quicker
I am definitely going to do this again. Wish we lived a bit closer brother. I have always enjoyed your company. And hell yeah he did great for being a kid stuck on his games all the time 😂
I hear ya on the games thing my son does the same lol Yeah I wish we lived closer too hard to find dedicated gold prospectors right now ! No one goes anymore besides Gary and Bennett. Sometimes I just want to sluice and there metal detectorist lol
Nice little spot you got there. Good gold and time with the son.....priceless!
Gold is awesome. Day spent with your son PRICELESS 😊👍
👌👊
Start them young brother. They will be our future prospectors. Your son is a really good worker. Nice color my friend,thanks for sharing.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Looking pretty sweet in that pan. Awesome Father/Son day out. Well done Dad...✌️😎
Thanks man 👊💯
Great thing to take your son out on your adventures. I do it with my grandson. Great memories.
Not bad at all !!!!!! Good Memories !!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks brother.
Awesome video and great gold
Too cold for me too... Great pans!

I don't know about you but I started treasure hunting when I was Tanner's age! Looks like an awesome kid!
Hey J, how are you. He is a good kid, just a little to into the video games at the present time.

Right on, hope you get out soon brother. Gotta make that money while it’s available.
Awsome looking gold too
Nice day out on the creek that has no gold! I'm telling you, it isn't there! 😂 Happy to see you guys having fun and finding that shiny bro!
😂🤙👊, thanks brother. Hope you are doing well and somewhat safe.
That was such a nice day, glad you and Tanner had a blast doing some prospecting. Must've been nice to have someone to classify for you lol
It definitely was, had a blast 💥.
Great haul! And great times with your son! They grow up too fast, it's unbelievable. My youngest just turned 17 yesterday
Thanks 🙏🏻, and yes they do. Way to fast.

Appreciate you Tony.
I was beginning to worry about ya, Damon ‼️🤪🤣! You can move a lot of dirt with a Highbanker! Git Dat Gooold!‼️
Yeah it’s been crazy lately. Hunting season and getting sick has kept me from prospecting for awhile.
Cold water is never easy lol! I was out today and it was freezing🥶 Nice work man⛏🏴
Damon great job on the gold but even better raising Tanner....its very obvious he's got your easy-going niceness....the world needs more so keep breeding!
Aw wow, I sure do appreciate you Ferd. 💯🍻

Appreciate you being here Richard. Thank you.
Crazy how the gold can be nonexistent in one spot and plentiful 2 feet away…..✅👍🏻
.....and it was further from the water.....I saw the same thing you did......time to be afraid! 🍻
Isn’t that crazy, not a single spec in the lower test hole. Thanks for being here J 👊
I really dig that you and your boy prospect together!! I really think my dad would have liked gold prospecting too. nice pans of gold once again.
Thanks man, he somewhat enjoys it. Trying to do it more often. Before I started making videos, my dad was with me out here until the cancer got him. He was my best friend and the best dad a kid could ask for. 😞
@@WestCoastGoldProspecting cancer got my dad when i was 14, so im on the hunt for dads nugget!!
Exactly my friend. 😞👊. Cheers to you

I hear ya, towards grants pass the black sand gets crazy like that. Golden day to you David. 👊
Holy crap damien imagine if you had a shloovel seriously good job your son is a future goldminer keep it up dude

You are going to love it. But be careful, it’s addictive.
Great video and good to see the little man helping out, where on west coast do you reside?
I’m out of Medford 🤙
South west corner of Oregon gold. Always plentiful.
Think about what you would have got id you ran a full yard of dirt great job
Good job
Nice recovery. What kind of pump are you using on the highbanker? I have to get a better pump for mine. 🇺🇸👍😎⛏
Thanks brother Geno, I’ll take and look and let you know about the pump. I can’t remember at the moment.
Great video!
Thank you.
You know that the angle is too high. You are losing gold . And having to feed much slower. Set it at half it's current height/angle. Smaller shovels but quicker
Are you Westcoast USA,or something else
Yes sir I am. Medford Oregon to be exact.
What part of the west coast
SW Oregon. 😁🤙
I want to find gold like that
Where abouts do you live ?
AUsome
Thanks David.
Cold water is not fun.
😎
I always find better flood gold 4 to 6 feet higher than river at its lowest point ! Looks like a fun day with your son Damon brother. LBPA4life 🇺🇸👍😎⚒🍀
I am definitely going to do this again. Wish we lived a bit closer brother. I have always enjoyed your company. And hell yeah he did great for being a kid stuck on his games all the time 😂
