Back in 88 i held an over 4 oz nugget in the chicken saloon. Dredger on the north fork found it. He wanted 2000 bucks for it. Almost bought it. Should have lol
Bryan, I dredged with a guy 36 years ago that lives there and he said the river freezes from top to bottom and during breakup the whole bottom moves also and replenishes the place you dredged with new materal almost every year. Good luck.
Outstanding!!!! If I do my math rite,you fellas have found a pound of gold in 2 clean ups!! Can't wait till the next vid fellas, thanks for the adventure
Hi guys nice to see people doing small dredging which doesn't hurt the environment. Because up in Alaska they just tear everything right down stripped everything trees and all open up the permafrost cause major damage and causes severe. Thks for doing it right
Thanks for sharing the great videos. You probably don't realize that it is people like y'all that encourages the next generation to want to do something good like this. Good luck and happy prospecting. This is great dredge that looks like it is set up perfectly. Thanks for sharing
So nice to see you guys actually pulling gold in everyday, unlike your days with Fred and Justin 😉. Hammer down and dig deep. May the gold gods smile down upon you guys.

That is definetly the first time I have ever seen anyone weld in a wet suit.🤔🤣🤣 The 10" is A beast. Great clean up. Not a lot of clarity in the water there. Greet nugget you found , very nice. Cooking on the dredge.😁👍👍Thank for sharing your amazing adventure in alaska.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Beautiful River and one of the best hobbyist gold videos I have seen and you guys got all the equipment from The Dredge down to the clean-out and all that pretty gold looks like a corn Fritter omelette in the frying pan! My hat's off to you from Northern California plus I like the Captain's commercial fishing boats shirt I am a retired crabber out of SF it was really something when your big boats came down from Dutch Harbor every season man it was like the big dogs were coming into town.. thanks for posting. JJ Smith ..F/V Lesley Jane..SF
Just for the sake of time, maybe replace that corrugated vacuum hose with some flexible spa tub hose. Couple hose clamps, cut the adapter off the old corrugated hose and done. I imagine it takes a while to clean it. Love the videos by the way. Im saving for a trip somewhere and I think this might be the place.
@@briankenison7995 vacuum hose was not smooth. Those corrugations will catch gold. Maybe it's really easy to wash out and there is no need for a smooth hose. I was just giving a suggestion. No one knows everything, no matter how long they have been doing it. Surly you are old enough to know that. 😉
I think you guys deserve what you find Maybe when it's a bad you still keep what you find And when it's tough to get out on your own and do what you do I can't do it so i appreciate being able to watch it Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
Incredible trip Bryan! I can't fathom having such a massive clean out.I'm going to have to look into Gold Fever Prospecting.I'm hoping you show us your totals for the whole trip at some point.How will you ever be able to settle for a four inch on the Wild Ammonoosuc again?!!!!
Hi again, another great video. I would love to be finding that amount of gold, well done. I appreciate the effort you guys make in making these videos. All the best, Natalie.👍🌞✨
It will be nice to have a bunch of secondary boxer so you can remove all the maximum boxes off the 10-inch dreads put the fresh ones in there somebody still running sucking gold watch somebody back to doing the clean-out 24 hours
how did you guys get on the 10-inch? I thought she said that the 8 and the 10 were reserved for the experienced because it was such a big dredge? Just wondering because it looks like for all the guys on it, that it was the golden ticket.
That welder is tiny! I bet it's a true carry in, wish I had something like that. I've seen ones that sell for $50-100 but they look underpowered. Looks like you have a good time that pays for the trip, lots of work but where else can you sluice that much gold.
My suggestion to un-clog the mesh screen.. use a stiff wire brush to quickly remove the clogged pebbles, it works like cleaning a metal file. Very fast and easy to do onsite
It cost $7,000 a week to stay at that camp. That includes your food basics. You want anything extra you pay more. Then I have to pay the cost of getting there I'm sure that's not cheap. And without a doubt it's not all the cost.
if that current is so strong down where you guys are dredging now why not try changing the current further up river just before the bend to your straight using larger rocks etc. Later on you might think of changing that current to work for you better when you if you guys do the opposite bank.
Welding in a wet suit? Saftey first ey! Nice touch adding in a smoker to your dredge, awesome idea. But I couldnt help to notice all of the smoke getting in and around the motor. Be careful that the smoke doesnt get taken up by your divers air intake... that could be a deadly mistake! Great clean up indeed. Thanks for sharing mate. Good Luck & Happy Dredging
I LIKE THIS OFFICE, What a fantastically decorated office to have.
Thanks for watching, Nana Woolon!! Get that gold!!
Back in 88 i held an over 4 oz nugget in the chicken saloon. Dredger on the north fork found it. He wanted 2000 bucks for it. Almost bought it. Should have lol
What a bargan if you got it! Thanks for watching!
Hmmm, do you remember the guys name? Those were really fun times back then, pounds of gold.
No don't remember his name, lol we were in the chicken creek saloon. It was twilight inside and outside on a Saturday night.
Two grand? Wow, that would be worth nearly ten times that now, I would guess.
Bryan, I dredged with a guy 36 years ago that lives there and he said the river freezes from top to bottom and during breakup the whole bottom moves also and replenishes the place you dredged with new materal almost every year. Good luck.
Yes , it freezes solid every winter
Outstanding!!!! If I do my math rite,you fellas have found a pound of gold in 2 clean ups!! Can't wait till the next vid fellas, thanks for the adventure

It's awesome!
Now thats the life!
For sure!
Absolutely awesome!!!! So hard to grasp seeing that much in a clean up!! Id be screamin!! Lol great job as always on vid and gold!!
Thanks 👍
My question is, what do you like more. River dredging like this or down in the sea?
I love river dredging 100% more, but much more money to be made in the Bering Sea off Nome.
Seriously just add a houseboat down a bit from that dredge, and I wouldn't leave.
SO MUCH FUN!!!! Did you guys hire that 10inch dredge ??
A Floating Barge w/a Tent Village onboard !
Excellent production
Thanks for watching, Mike Connery!! Get that gold!!
Great video and clean up.Thanks for the tip about using baby shampoo to reduce fogging of face mask.
Works Great!

I imagine it takes a while to clean it. Love the videos by the way. Im saving for a trip somewhere and I think this might be the place.
Pretty sure the hose is smooth on the inside.
These people do this for a living trust me they've tried everything you could ever think of.

We wash the vac hose out good. A smooth one would be better, though. Good idea!
Now that's a dredge
Oh ya!
hells yeah rock n roll baby
Thanks for watching, Lee Duncan!! Get that gold!!
And now I seen the underwater shots lol

Give the camp a try, you'll have a blast! Thanks for watching!
I wish Australia had more rivers, this looks far more enjoyable than prospecting in the desert
Thanks for watching, NevilleFarkinBartos!! Get that gold!!
Go to new Zealand
I was thinking 10. Not bad guys
Thanks!
Awesome job guys
Thanks!
dont forget to check the jet log at seasons end. i've lost alot of gold that way
For sure!
Always great gold, what a cool setup !
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi again, another great video. I would love to be finding that amount of gold, well done. I appreciate the effort you guys make in making these videos. All the best, Natalie.👍🌞✨
Thanks so much!
On the 40 mile is the gold better near bedrock or is it plentiful throughout the layers?
The gold is all throughout
I will be there in june14 to 24 6 inch dredg
You'll have a blast!
Awesome clean up man that 10 can move some dirt
Thanks 👍
Bet the guy in the water was going nuts smelling the smoker with the intake right in the smoke lol hangery for sure.
He got Hungary!
would that setup work in nome if u had a pusher boat to move it around or is it to shallow of a hull?
It would need larger pontoons to handle the waves.
imagine if the old timers dredged that, theres tons of gold!
Thanks for watching!
enjoyed watching your video nice gold keep digging you'll find gold 🙂
Glad you enjoyed
Mann that looked good
For sure! Thanks for watching!
Love your content please keep the videos comming
Thanks for watching, MBIZZLEHIPHOP!! Get that gold!!
Do they ever dredge closer to the middle of the river? Or do they always stay close to the bank?
we get swept away because of the current
Love you guys :D Keep it up!
Thank you! Will do!
Does that hose ever suck in big fish as well?
Nice pile indeed...🤗 not often you get the opportunity to use the phrase"pile"✌️😎
You got that right! Thanks for watching!
It will be nice to have a bunch of secondary boxer so you can remove all the maximum boxes off the 10-inch dreads put the fresh ones in there somebody still running sucking gold watch somebody back to doing the clean-out 24 hours
Just 2 divers and we worked 6 days a week dredging. Sunday we didn't dive and did a clean out.
Well done Bryan, well jealous haha
Thanks for watching, Smokey Wilson!! Get that gold!!
Weeeeeee!! Its curly Larry and mo again...ha ha ha..😅😅😅😅
Awesome making kick ass gold videos ⚒💪🤠🍻🍻🍻
Thanks so much for watching!
Id love to apply for a work study program haha. Would be so fun!
Thanks for watching, Ryan Martinage!! Get that gold!!
how did you guys get on the 10-inch? I thought she said that the 8 and the 10 were reserved for the experienced because it was such a big dredge? Just wondering because it looks like for all the guys on it, that it was the golden ticket.
Those guys are all experienced dredgers.
Brian Wilder's been at it for years.
Yes we are both experienced dredgers. We work on big dredges in Nome, Alaska in the Bering Sea as well.
So good yet hard to watch as my state, New South Wales you aren't even allowed a high banker let alone a dredge
Thanks for watching, adam Purcell!! Get that gold!!
Going out tomorrow actually
Hey maybe a couple words about this camp? Where? Why? How?
Gold fever prospecting chicken Ak
Great channel
Thanks so much!
I bet that 10 inch does 45 yards per hour with the dual P1500 pumps.
For sure!
I gotta try that.
Thanks for watching, Watch Grass Grow!! Get that gold!!
Hi how much gold do you find per day doing dredging and how many hours does it take to get one ounce in Alaska ?
About 1 ounce a day
Please how many hour took you to get one ounce THANK YOU
This channel is awesome. How much did the dredge cost??
Thanks! I just dove on that dredge for the owner, so not sure.
That welder is tiny! I bet it's a true carry in, wish I had something like that. I've seen ones that sell for $50-100 but they look underpowered. Looks like you have a good time that pays for the trip, lots of work but where else can you sluice that much gold.
Thanks for watching, jmy!! Get that gold!!
Do you ever loose any gold in the vaccume hose or do you rinse the hose out as well ? love the video from Canada
We rinse it good! Thanks for watching!
you guys did good
would you go back?
For sure! Thanks for watching!
My suggestion to un-clog the mesh screen..
use a stiff wire brush to quickly remove the clogged pebbles, it works like cleaning a metal file.
Very fast and easy to do onsite
That's a great idea! Thanks for watching!
Do they all use Subaru engines that’s pretty cool!
Yes, even on the hovercraft now.
What State are these guys dredging
Goooold👏🍺😉👍
Thanks for watching, Rastaman Ralph!! Get that gold!!
If you don't mind me asking what do you fellas have invested in that their 10 in
Nothing, we were the divers and got a percentage.
Hi, I’m planning on going there this July, and I have a question. How do you divide up the gold at the end?
Divers get 50% of the box
What % do you pay to use all the equipment and the camp? It's a really good set up whoever owns it have it boxed off!! Thanks andy Liverpool uk😉👍
It cost $7,000 a week to stay at that camp.
That includes your food basics.
You want anything extra you pay more.
Then I have to pay the cost of getting there I'm sure that's not cheap.
And without a doubt it's not all the cost.
all customers who stays at the camp keep all the gold they find. Check out the website Gold Fever Alaska
Its not that much and everything is included . Check out the website Gold Fever Alaska.
@@AmericanGoldProspectors wow thanks for replying!!!! Im gonna look into it later on today when I've got a free hour or so!!! Again thanks brother😉👍
if that current is so strong down where you guys are dredging now why not try changing the current further up river just before the bend to your straight using larger rocks etc.
Later on you might think of changing that current to work for you better when you if you guys do the opposite bank.
We just wait till the water goes down, then hit it! Thanks so much for watching!
What song is that around the 4 min. Mark.
not sure. got it from the youtube music library
@@AmericanGoldProspectors right on. The drums in the music where great lol. Anyways good luck out there..

Thanks for the tips!
That smoke was going right in air filters? That can't be good
It just makes the diver hungery. Thanks for watching!
awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
How can someone join a trip like that?

@@AmericanGoldProspectors Is this part of the GPAA Tom Massy’s bunch, or different group?
Wonder why the water is so brown
It was after a storm.
How many grams did they get?
I think 10 oz's or so
Holy hell Bryan, that looks like a blast. Great job as always. So how much will it cost for a guy like me to give this a try ?
Thanks so much for watching! Look up gold fever prospecting Alaska for pricing,
I haven’t caught up on the videos bc I just found your channel but it would be awesome if you took us under with you.
