the best video on Drywashing I have ever seen. you are right, there are no real good guides on how to Drywash and you just gave the most helpful advanced tips I have ever seen no less heard or read about. I want to tell you I got so involved in the video that around 30:28 when you are vacuuming up the Gold and the pile shows it face I was hooting and hollaring right along with you both. "Dam exciting to see good color! Great video Boys! you guys are amazing!" thanks for the tips. I have been drywashing now for about 10+ years and I just learned quite a bit from you. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much, and we really appreciate you taking the time. Dry washing is much more technical than people realize, and with considerable learning curve
Some of the most hard working prospectors I know... no one can compete with 2 gold magnets(Adam and Wade) dry washing in the middle of the summer in AZ. The love is clear! You deserve every Oz.
ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!..Man you guys nailed it! I used to live in Flagstaff and went to NAU. Back then all I was concerned about was drinking beer and partying. Now all I want to do is be a full-time gold prospector! I could do this every day! Gold or no gold, just being out and the Arizona landscape is truly mesmerizing! Tons of respect man! Don't change a thing keep it up! Thanks for sharing bro!
I didn't know any of this. Thank you. I have a hard rock mine in Johannesburg California in the Ransburg mining district.. without all of the instructions you have given in this video people like me are left to struggle and never figure out what were not doing or doing wrong. Thanks Man.
you guys were born in a golden country, that's amazing. I spent a lot of time watching your RUclips channel. You guys are hardworking people, and it's very kind to always share valuable experiences. honestly I thank you guys so much for what you shared. Wishing you a lot of health!
Pretty incredible!! Not much else to say. Great production values and educational at the same time. You’ve made leaps of progress since you started, great job guys.
From your excellent drone footage, such beautiful and rugged country. Very informative and entertaining video, from someone who will almost certainly never dry wash for gold. Kudos to you guys for being out in the Arizona desert in the summer and working as hard as you did!!! Grats on the gold. Thank you Adam and Wade for sharing. Top notch.
Yeah, it will just jam up and usually clog immediately unless the feed gate is wide open, but then it would be feeding to fast. Get yourself some paint buckets, its to much energy to shovel directly into the screen.
Thank you for the lesson on dry washing. There is very little on dry washing out there. As I live in Tucson, it is very useful information. Nice spot also. Keith
You are pretty good at what you do so I enjoy watching. Someday I may get a chance to really put my brother's Minelab 4000 to work, but so far I haven't had a chance to do much metal detecting. You seem to do pretty well at that also. I'm recovering well and hope to be at full speed by Aug 1 and heading north out of the heat. Thank you for the well wishes. Keith
Boulderdash caught on camera at last. You guys are giving away your hard earned tips and techniques. Adam, your intro and outro videos showcasing the beautiful desert with chill music are awesome.
No we probably emptied the tray around 20 buckets. It would be fine to run the full 32 though. It kind of depends on how coarse the heavies ( black sands )are.
Really good video on dry washing! I have a 141 and see some changes I’m going to make on my next run. Keep these ones videos coming, would love to see a little bit of the clean up of the cons and how you do that.
great job and thanks for all your efforts to produce this video, I know you guys do this but for the new Prospectors out there when you're finished up vacuuming tap the hose all around (while it's still running) because the vacuum hose acts like a sluice and a lot of fines get stuck along the hose, sure is fun being out there, late last year I spent a few days at the cargo Muchachos and I didn't find a whole lot like usual (2.5 to 3 grams) but it was fun, what I really enjoyed is on my way home I'll stop at the Yuma Golden Corral and eat about 10 steaks
I have watched this twice, and it's full of informations and very detailed, yet I have a question Where do you look exactly ?; at the sandy spots ,or in the dirt or at natural blocks like big rocks or plants?? Or you just install your device and start ?
Awesome to see all that gold in riffles !! You guys are just killing it ! Is this the wash you've been detecting from past videos ? FYI, I built a cubic yard box. Took about 45 full buckets. Check out the video when you have a chance. Thanks for sharing ! 🤠⛏⚒👍
Another great video thanks for the dry washer tips I will apply this to my prospecting . A lot of people use dry washers but not many know the finer points like you guys do . 💰
The new "S" series drywashers are overcompliated with unnessesary gimmics in my opinion and ruined the original best working design. The older basic 140 and 151 are the best drywashers when set up properly.
I can’t wait I have been planning a trip back to Arizona since i came back last March,I’m 65 and can’t move as much dirt as some,I love digging and running my Keene bellows dry washer,i learn more every show I watch, ?? Do you loose any gold in your vacuum filter, planning on going for the mouth of February, like gold basin but would like to go some where else for part of my trip,any suggestions? You guys rock like in bedrock
Gold Basin is a Great place ! maybe drop down to Quartzsite...But gold basin is super nice. Im glad your learning something from the videos, and happy hunting !!
You guys are using 151 drywasher? I have 141 and it's not good. Doesn't create enough vibration. I started suspecting that I'm losing gold a lot. They made the sluice long, but it was supposed to be wide. I wonder if you guys tested 141 and 151, or Royals. Which one is better? I'm thinking to buy royal mini, i noticed it's small, but wide to process more dirt. I like the way way royal is designed, you open the riffles clean the dirt and close it without moving the whole box.
I agree, I always keep and washout all of the 5gal. Paint and Drywall Compound (Mud) Buckets that we use on jobs, because there twice as strong as Lowe’s and Home Depot buckets, and you can leave them out in the sun without the UV Rays making them brittle!
Location, location, location, augmented by skill, hard work, and persistence, with a dash of camaraderie thrown in, resulting in good gold and another great video! Well done, guys. Nice to see more of Wade in FRONT of the camera. HH Jim McCulloch "Advanced Nuggetshooting."
I stumbled onto this video of yesteryear and it was incredible. You guys are a great team. I love you're channel and really think I enjoy ur video's the most. Nice claim.
Another great video! Y’all are putting out the best videos about prospecting and metal detecting by far!!! Do you use the drone much for picking areas to work?
With the new "S" series they installed rubber bumpers to hold the tray a little , which I believe was to settle down the shaking a little. Keene just keeps over complicating the great running machines they had years ago.
Great vid adam. Been watching for a while but just subbed. Was wondering if you sold this claim yet and what's the best way to get in contact with you about a claim for this fall? Are you close to quartzite? Thanks
That was truly a well put together video ! The best Drywash video I've seen. We just left Az. about 2 Weeks ago and the "Heat" out in the desert was "Scorched Earth", I'll bet you had to share the canopy shade with the Lizards and Snakes. Don't know how you do it, we had to quite "Hunting the Gold" ! Great work guys, keep it up We'll be watchin' ! 😁😎
I've been watching videos on dry washing and you guys are the most successful ones I've seen . Thanks for the set up tips . I recently bought a keen dry washer and yea no real instructions how to use it . I have experience running a high banker but that's not practical.in AZ even in a recirculating set up if you want to process the amount of material you guys did . Very cool video thank you and thanks again for the tips .
Thank you for the kind words..Yeah recirculation systems are a pain to set up. They also need to be in a spot you can bring water too...Neither of which I feel like dealing with. Dry washers are simple and compact for the most part. Thank you for watching !
I’ve watched a lot of dry washing videos but what I appreciate about this one is you guys taking the time to show how you set your Drywasher up. I’m going to take what I learned here and apply when I go out and set up. I do have a question for you though. I have the 140s with that gate in the back to release air flow. Should I use that to mitigate the shaking of the rifle tray or do you think I should keep it closed and use a weight Stabilize it?
The shake is created by the counter weight/ fan combo in the lower box. Im not sure that opening that port would mitigate the shaking. It would however, regulate the air volume going through the tray fabric. The weights work really well to stabilize "over shaking"
I’ll have to try it without and with the weights and see how it works out. Again Thanks for this info and Can’t wait for the next video. Maybe one day you guys can do a clean up video on how you completely separate out all the black sand.
Can you tell me what to buy 1st to get started , the drywasher or the detector? Im obviously a beginner, Im in Tucson and dont know where is it safe to look for gold? TY VERY much!!
Join a club called the Tucson Desert Gold Diggers. Then you will have access to lots of mining claims in that region. Drywashing will find gold and will teach someone about gold , where it is and why. Personally , I would get a metal detector first because its easier, and if you quit the hobby they can be re sold fairly easily. Dont get talked into some junk detector!
Great work guys. That was some hard yakka you put in. I might have missed it in the video... how hot was it while you were working? Usually June in AZ a very tough time to be moving that much tonnage.
BTW I agree with Keith K. you two are animals in the way you go about prospecting. It must be great to have a partner that will share the heavy load needed to be successful.
That’s some nice gold and one thing for sure is that you earned every speck you got. That is hard country and summer temperatures equals earnings your wages no matter how good they are. Great video
New here, love the video. Never drywashed before. Run a 4" on turkey creek. Im sure there was gold i only got pat on the back for the hard work. Lol turns out someone i went with showed up with a oz later. Lol again love the show
Hey guys I love the vids and have been watching for quite awhile now. I am curious, when you say you ran 100 or 300 buckets in the drywasher, is that with dumping the riffles into a bucket periodically or do you just rely on the physics of heavy material sinking and the riffle catching it? So many other vids show the riffles being emptied, saying the gold will walk out to the tailings pile, if not kept clean.
Super informative on how to set and use a dry washer. Question how is some of the ways to prepare my gold for sale ( flower/ Pieces /Pickers/ nuggets/and or specimens) thanks for all your knowledge and time
So you have that Briggs and Stratton blower and never had that problem? Mine does it, and a friend of mine also has oil all over the inside of the blower, we both have 151s, mine is the new one with the plastic mats in the catch box, I am going to separate the engine from the blower with a aluminum plate, that should stop the vacuum.
@@daviddurflinger3104 Thats not happening with this particular engine. Im not sure if it was the Honda or the Briggs & Stratton. If oil was on the cloth of the tray it would be devastating, as it would plug up instantly with dust. Good luck with it !
Awesome job...I would have a hard time putting up with all the noise. (But with that much color I could adapt) Thanks for the whole process GREAT JOB and CONGRATS
Great advice and from experience too! Thanks for sharing your tribal knowledge! I don’t have a dry washer yet, but your tutorials have me seriously considering a Keene! 😂
Great Video again guys your killing it...just some awesome gold. There is a company called Rock Vac, Ive always wanted to place the vacuum hopper on top of the drywasher to dump the vacuumed up material from creek beds, and bedrock. Never seen it done, wonder if it would be faster than the ol fashion bucket brigade? At work we have huge industrial Vac trucks that we use, man these things will dig a 4 foot deep trench hole in minutes, I could imagine the damage they would do cleaning up creekbeds and bedrock.
Great job as usual. I wish i was there. who did the music in this one? Awesome views with the drone. Its so awesome living vicariously through your vids.
I loved the music you paired with the drone shots. . enchanting. I can see where using a drone would save you a lot of walking when scouting over an area. do you use a vac or a shovel to fill the buckets? damn good vid guys.
Awesome video! You guys make dry washing look pretty good, and I’ll admit, detecting is my first choice, but we have some ground that has yielded MANY small nuggets, but the machines are now quiet. Looks like it’s time to invest in a Keene!
Trap is a Victor #2 double spring. Possible set by a government trapper or a rancher who was having trouble with coyotes. If you have a good set that works, maybe where you've made multiple catches, you might use a drag (the double hook arrangement on the chain) to let the coyote get caught and then get away from your trap set so he doesn't mess it up so much and it's not too hard to remake. Eventually the hooks get caught on the underbrush and you can track the drag through the desert and find and dispatch the coyote. If you stake the trap instead of using a drag, it fixes the trap and gives the coyote something it can pull against and he may be able to pull his foot out. I would consider a #2 a little small for a coyote, but it would work. 2½ or #3 is more appropriately sized. As an aside, I'm still running and SD2200.
Amazing video!!!! Thank you for all those great tips!! Some things i need to do differently. I recently bought the middle size Royal drywasher. Should i drill a hole like you talked about with this unit. I ran it a few time before the rain hit this winter and i noticed that my material was definitely not as equal as what yours was in the video. Could that be because of no weight on the back. I did use a level to make sure i was set up right. I even check the level after i was done running.
Couple things to check: Always use forced air that has variable speed. Lower the air volume to use only what it needs to classify and flow the material over the riffles. Also consider drilling a hole dead center of the back to hold a rock with some string. The rock weight can help stabilize the bottom tray and kleep it from bouncing and shaking to violently . **Do not drill into the box.** Good job checking level before and during as the machine can certainly change position while running.
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK Quick question for you. I have found a small wash near Stanton that has pretty good gold laying right on top of the gravels. I have used a battery operated shop vac but I only have about 1 hour of run time. I do have a good 6 gallon shop vac at home but I am not sure on what generator to buy. I am guessing I need at least 1800watt running wattage. Any suggestions. I was really surprised at the size and the amount of gold I vacuumed up with my portable vac. Just need to run all day. Thanks Red
You guys tried in Gpaa claim in wickenburg little san domigo area? You take vulture peak road several miles south. I test samples twice and found a super tiny piece, run around 30-40 buckets and only got half a gram. Is that normal, or not worth it, or I'm losing gold.
not worth the effort. 1 gram per 20 buckets would be ideal. yes, you could be losing gold if your drywasher is not set up properly, or if you are not vacuuming good enough. Keep sampleing the area, it sounds like it has potential
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK I think the best area starts where the claim border ends. The gold was coarse it wasn't too far from its source. I'll try investigating the place, but I have to walk a lot to come out from claim borders into blm, the claim is limited. You think I should try further towards hasayampa river?
If it were the bottom rows , then it wouldnt be so critical. It all gets dumped into a bucket regardless. We use the vacuum so we can see how much gold is present.
Join the “ big bug mining district” prospecting club. It will give you a place to prospect for gold and people to learn from. We don’t have the time to take individuals out in the field, sorry

Thanks man....We moved over 6 tons of material...I was pretty sore for a couple days ..ha ha Cheers !
Another great video! Y’all are putting out the best videos about prospecting and metal detecting by far!!! Do you use the drone much for picking areas to work?
Thank you very much ! No, mainly because its to hard to tell the depth of the ground to bedrock with the drone.
Im surprised keene hasnt incorporated a weight tray for the back of the box. It really makes sense with the rock being added once u see it running.
With the new "S" series they installed rubber bumpers to hold the tray a little , which I believe was to settle down the shaking a little. Keene just keeps over complicating the great running machines they had years ago.

The shake is created by the counter weight/ fan combo in the lower box. Im not sure that opening that port would mitigate the shaking. It would however, regulate the air volume going through the tray fabric. The weights work really well to stabilize "over shaking"
I’ll have to try it without and with the weights and see how it works out. Again Thanks for this info and Can’t wait for the next video. Maybe one day you guys can do a clean up video on how you completely separate out all the black sand.
Congrats on 10k you guys rock
Hey , Thank you !! I appreciate that !
Can you make an in depth video on how you find your locations for those that are brand new to prospecting?
that was really cool, very informative thanks for the video.
Glad you liked it!
Can you tell me what to buy 1st to get started , the drywasher or the detector? Im obviously a beginner, Im in Tucson and dont know where is it safe to look for gold? TY VERY much!!
Join a club called the Tucson Desert Gold Diggers. Then you will have access to lots of mining claims in that region. Drywashing will find gold and will teach someone about gold , where it is and why. Personally , I would get a metal detector first because its easier, and if you quit the hobby they can be re sold fairly easily.
Dont get talked into some junk detector!
Great work guys. That was some hard yakka you put in. I might have missed it in the video... how hot was it while you were working? Usually June in AZ a very tough time to be moving that much tonnage.
It wasnt that hot ....Only about 95 .... Thanks for watching !!
Are you running the shop vac off the Genset? If so how does it compare to the leaf blower conversion type?
Using the shop vac of a generator is very nice if you can, and it has better suction. Gas vacuums are great for portability into remoter areas.
Excellent shiney Adam, BD....!
Thank you so much !
BTW I agree with Keith K. you two are animals in the way you go about prospecting. It must be great to have a partner that will share the heavy load needed to be successful.
Yes , Ive worked with people that are lazy too ....Boulderdash and I share the responsibility
After you retrieve the free Mill try smelting / cupelling your heavies you will be surprised.great set up info thanks.
Awesome ! Thank you
That’s some nice gold and one thing for sure is that you earned every speck you got. That is hard country and summer temperatures equals earnings your wages no matter how good they are. Great video
You got that right! Tough work for sure , especially when it heats up ! Thank you !
New here, love the video.
Never drywashed before. Run a 4" on turkey creek. Im sure there was gold i only got pat on the back for the hard work. Lol turns out someone i went with showed up with a oz later. Lol again love the show
Thank you for watching ! Yeah dry washing is definitely unique and dirty work ..
Hey guys I love the vids and have been watching for quite awhile now. I am curious, when you say you ran 100 or 300 buckets in the drywasher, is that with dumping the riffles into a bucket periodically or do you just rely on the physics of heavy material sinking and the riffle catching it? So many other vids show the riffles being emptied, saying the gold will walk out to the tailings pile, if not kept clean.
Yeah, basically we dump the trays every 30 buckets or so . Type of gold and the amount & type of heavies plays a role in that too.
Awesome video guys. Love the extra weight trick at the head of the box. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah , give it a try ! Thanks for watching !
New to your channel, good video and finds! Thanks for the tips, you experience is priceless!
Thank you ! And welcome 🙏
Super informative on how to set and use a dry washer. Question how is some of the ways to prepare my gold for sale ( flower/ Pieces /Pickers/ nuggets/and or specimens) thanks for all your knowledge and time
I just clean mine in CLR ....Thank you for watching !
Ok thanks
How much dust did you eat! Silicosis isn’t much fun. That’s why I stopped . I used the same Keene unit, a very good machine!
We eat a lot of dust for sure
So how did you solve the problem of the blower sucking the engine oil past the main seal on the crankshaft, and sending the oil to your drywasher?
That would really be a bummer. ..
So you have that Briggs and Stratton blower and never had that problem? Mine does it, and a friend of mine also has oil all over the inside of the blower, we both have 151s, mine is the new one with the plastic mats in the catch box, I am going to separate the engine from the blower with a aluminum plate, that should stop the vacuum.
@@daviddurflinger3104 Thats not happening with this particular engine. Im not sure if it was the Honda or the Briggs & Stratton. If oil was on the cloth of the tray it would be devastating, as it would plug up instantly with dust. Good luck with it !
Awesome job...I would have a hard time putting up with all the noise. (But with that much color I could adapt)
Thanks for the whole process GREAT JOB and CONGRATS
Glad I could help! and thanks for watching !
Any quartz or black sand around your diggings? How much do you pull out in a day?
we do very well in this spot. The totals should be in the description
Great advice and from experience too! Thanks for sharing your tribal knowledge! I don’t have a dry washer yet, but your tutorials have me seriously considering a Keene! 😂
Awesome! Thank you!
WONDERFUL,WONDERFUL PLACE I LOVE IT! THANK YOU
Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for tuning in.
Great Video again guys your killing it...just some awesome gold. There is a company called Rock Vac, Ive always wanted to place the vacuum hopper on top of the drywasher to dump the vacuumed up material
from creek beds, and bedrock. Never seen it done, wonder if it would be faster than the ol fashion bucket brigade? At work we have huge industrial Vac trucks that we use, man these things will dig a 4 foot deep trench hole in minutes, I could imagine the damage they would do cleaning up creekbeds and bedrock.
I cant remember the name of it, but there used to be a dry washer that had the vacuum built in to it...Anyway, thanks for watching Dave
Great job as usual. I wish i was there. who did the music in this one? Awesome views with the drone. Its so awesome living vicariously through your vids.
Wanted to try something a little different with the music , im not sure about it though lol...
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK I thought the music worked.
I loved the music you paired with the drone shots. . enchanting. I can see where using a drone would save you a lot of walking when scouting over an area. do you use a vac or a shovel to fill the buckets? damn good vid guys.
Shovels mostly , then vacuum the bedrock and fill the buckets with that material too.....Thanks for watching !!
I guess I was wondering if a dredg-vac would fill the buckets faster. Have fun. . . you are living my dream.
@@wackyrice1 I dont know what a dredge vacuum is...More videos to come ....
Good gold ,I know hard you work for every piece of shiny. 👍
Awesome , Thank you !
Awesome video! You guys make dry washing look pretty good, and I’ll admit, detecting is my first choice, but we have some ground that has yielded MANY small nuggets, but the machines are now quiet. Looks like it’s time to invest in a Keene!
Right on ! Thank you ...
Trap is a Victor #2 double spring. Possible set by a government trapper or a rancher who was having trouble with coyotes. If you have a good set that works, maybe where you've made multiple catches, you might use a drag (the double hook arrangement on the chain) to let the coyote get caught and then get away from your trap set so he doesn't mess it up so much and it's not too hard to remake. Eventually the hooks get caught on the underbrush and you can track the drag through the desert and find and dispatch the coyote. If you stake the trap instead of using a drag, it fixes the trap and gives the coyote something it can pull against and he may be able to pull his foot out. I would consider a #2 a little small for a coyote, but it would work. 2½ or #3 is more appropriately sized.
As an aside, I'm still running and SD2200.
Nice gold and great video, thank you!
Awesome ! Thank you for the kind words
At 8:17 "Dead Plumb" had my belly bustin
Amazing video!!!! Thank you for all those great tips!! Some things i need to do differently. I recently bought the middle size Royal drywasher. Should i drill a hole like you talked about with this unit. I ran it a few time before the rain hit this winter and i noticed that my material was definitely not as equal as what yours was in the video. Could that be because of no weight on the back. I did use a level to make sure i was set up right. I even check the level after i was done running.
Couple things to check:
Always use forced air that has variable speed. Lower the air volume to use only what it needs to classify and flow the material over the riffles.
Also consider drilling a hole dead center of the back to hold a rock with some string. The rock weight can help stabilize the bottom tray and kleep it from bouncing and shaking to violently . **Do not drill into the box.**
Good job checking level before and during as the machine can certainly change position while running.

Quick question for you. I have found a small wash near Stanton that has pretty good gold laying right on top of the gravels. I have used a battery operated shop vac but I only have about 1 hour of run time. I do have a good 6 gallon shop vac at home but I am not sure on what generator to buy. I am guessing I need at least 1800watt running wattage. Any suggestions. I was really surprised at the size and the amount of gold I vacuumed up with my portable vac. Just need to run all day.
Thanks Red
@@Red-et2rd well if your finding that much gold, just go get a nice honda generator. They are lighter and easy to carry.
Ya nice lil operation ! 224 buckets just hearing that makes my back hurt !
My back hurt for a couple days ha ha ..We ran over 6 tons of material
YA what Keith below me said! Two thumbs up
Thank you we appreciate it. , And we dont bullshit either. I`ll save that for " nugget heads"
You guys tried in Gpaa claim in wickenburg little san domigo area? You take vulture peak road several miles south. I test samples twice and found a super tiny piece, run around 30-40 buckets and only got half a gram. Is that normal, or not worth it, or I'm losing gold.
not worth the effort. 1 gram per 20 buckets would be ideal. yes, you could be losing gold if your drywasher is not set up properly, or if you are not vacuuming good enough.
Keep sampleing the area, it sounds like it has potential
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK I think the best area starts where the claim border ends. The gold was coarse it wasn't too far from its source. I'll try investigating the place, but I have to walk a lot to come out from claim borders into blm, the claim is limited. You think I should try further towards hasayampa river?
Cool vid Guys what sort of dry vac do you use
Its just a regular shop vac " Husky " and a generator ....Thanks for watching.!
Really neat. If New York ever turns into a desert now I know how to dry wash! Get that wire gold!
Great video, really like the music, not the usual you tube canned beats
Awesome thank you!
Why did you vaccum all the heavys when you started to clean the angle of the vacuumn was leaving heavys tucked back
If it were the bottom rows , then it wouldnt be so critical. It all gets dumped into a bucket regardless. We use the vacuum so we can see how much gold is present.
I live in Phoenix. Any way I can meet you on one of your outings? I'm a beginner. But would live to learn!
Join the “ big bug mining district” prospecting club. It will give you a place to prospect for gold and people to learn from.
We don’t have the time to take individuals out in the field, sorry
Old Colorado water panner. Your greatly appreciated. Ill hafto switch to air when I get there
Awesome ! Thank you !!
how many buckets do you run through the drywasher before you clean it?
in this spot , about 30-40..... It depends on the material, size of heavies, and the density of the gold. That will depict how often you clean out.
