  • Join us on this adventure while we re-visit our productive creek from a previous video. We start off metal detecting with my minelab equinox 800 for placer gold. Most of our time is spent dredging for gold in a seasonal creek. The trip comes to an end with a very productive gold panning session. We spent the extended weekend prospecting for gold and had a blast!
    Last 2 trips on this creek. 2 Part series with chunkier gold and a couple nuggets!

    That is an interesting way of using the dredge and a high pressure hose I guess you would call it moving stuff into the stationary dredge, smart move. Nice little haul there.

    • @prospectingforadventure
      @prospectingforadventure  2 года назад

      It's mostly to break up the stuff in small cracks. I normally move the nozzle around more if I have enough water.

    👍 Vdos !! Seems like your having fun runs in that area.. curious about doing the same.. I've been prospecting southern AZ for the last year and have done ok.. I have a fun recirculating dual sluice set-up and feel like changing up my scenery.. I would love to drop into southern Oregon for a few summers.. Being half Irish the hunt for AU comes natural and never gets old 😆 Stay Safe ehh.. I'll keep following.. 👍 Willau2c

    Wow great video! What a place to play and really nice gold to boot! The long skinny one at the top of the "pile" still has quality character....what hillside is it shedding from? I like your bedrock buster👍. Good for you on trusting your gut and letting it lead you to gold....a 🍻 to your brain also!

    • @prospectingforadventure
      @prospectingforadventure  2 года назад +2

      Thank you! I think the source is on both sides through there and up in the head water too. Some gold you probably saw in the previous video is super tumbled. Then there's gold that looks like it just dropped out of the source. I will probably have a Minelab GPX 6000 next time I go up. I'll spend more time metal detecting the draws and hillsides. Pretty soon there won't be enough water to easily dredge.

      This creek you need to reclaim your spot after you're finished with it. The creek doesn't get high enough to reset the creek bed every season. I also remove any diversions that I make.

      The crash boxes we have on our dredges came attached to the sluice box. I believe Keene Engineering sells them separate as well as connected. The other good place would be to keep an eye on gold groups for people selling their gear.
