- HOLY SMOKES FINALLY FOUND SOME BIG OLE GOLD POTATO SPECIMENS, WE HAD TO THINK OUT OF THE CREEK BECAUSE IT WAS SUPER CRAZY HIGH WATER AND VERY DANGEROUS THERE IS GOING TO BE A PART TWO TO THIS VIDEO AND IM SURE YOUR OT GOING TO WANT TO MISS IT AFTER SEEING WHAT I POSTED ON MY CHANNEL AND MY STORY SO HIT THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON AND SEE WHAT THE GOLD MINERS OF THE 1800S LEFT BEHIND PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A WILD RIDE!!!!
I have prospected coker creek several times with a 4 inch dredge at the place you are at and other places that were on GPAA claims and have never found over an ounce , total of gold and that was long, hard dredging ! I want to see just one of those pounds of gold you found with that gold sucker on coker creek and I will eat it!
Friends This is called having passion for something, having tenacity, patience and love for what one does, regardless of weather conditions, day, night. Congratulations to both of you. An excellent team. May you continue to have success and blessings.
Man you got to learn how to pan and that's why you ain't finding gold.practice and put some bebe's in the pan and see if they all come back
Great great girlfriend 👍
Kyle,
You surely can’t say you aren’t trying to find gold. You are investigating every nook and cranny but still can’t come up with that elusive stuff. That takes some determination to follow some little tributary. Digging your 💜 out trying to find any gold and through your diligence, you finally stumble on the right spot. And finally start producing something in your pan. AMEN !!! That just shows you have to keep on keeping on to finally stumble into the right hole. When you do, the payoff finally comes and keeps coming and coming and coming. CONGRATULATIONS,!!
Kyle, please don't ever underestimate the hydrolic power of a fast flow river, even in some shallow places it can still sweep your feet out from under you.
that waterfall was an invitation to death...wtf were you thinking ?
You should have warn a warmer jacket too Kyle. It only takes a few minutes in cold water for hypothermia to kick in.
Did he swim? Jeez I couldn’t watch the whole video
btw when panning you lean you pan back not forward when tapping the gold out
Coker Creek dumps out into the Hiwassee River the gold has to go somewhere...Lol. Soon as you said you were going to Coker Creek I knew Mother Nature was going to have her way and not let you have yours with all the rain fall we're having. I live in Bradley County Tennessee. I give y'all an A++ for all the effort.
Is that James Anderson.
"...and there goes my future children." i laughed so hard my face hurt..lol. Steve in Texas.
Never let go a woman who would walk around in the middle of winter, middle of night and look for pretty rocks. LOL.
Watched the whole video and not a speck of gold YOU ROBBED ME !
YEP, I got me one of those too!!! no mater our fights...I just think about this and let it go!
Pearls
Amen, Soldier!!!!!
I'm that girl
My great great great grandpa worked that river back in the old times. Then moved to oregon :) right in the heart of gold country.
Nearly all of my prospecting missions are through the night hours. They are in the vastly uninhabited regions of Northern Minnesota and Canadian boarder. I hav gone 16 days and not seen another human. This is Livin!
Sadly this was Andrews last post, he hasn’t seen another human or wifi for ten months......;)
14 months now
How Relaxing...and Exciting. Thank you for Sharing. ❤❤❤
So I paused the vid to read the cabin short story. Then I click play only to realize he actually gives you time to read in the video lmfao. one of a kind.
I will say this: Every time I prospected in California, I found gold.
I haven't been able to getaway too mine.Ur show is helping me feed the gold monkey on my back
So what happened to the second park can't find the video where yous crush the rocks?
Hello Kyle...I see you have the drive to get out there and hunt for that 'shiny'...and some veterans aren't into sharing their experience with the newer folk....I would offer a couple suggestions, #1: reading the terrain in gold producing areas is key, researching the the USGS reports of the gold deposits of an area is a must...especially the older reports from late 1890s and early 1900s...#2 : while on occasion you may find some color in shallows on the banks of creek or river...the low lying flats of surrounding area, such as the first few spots in your video here...its gonna be unproductive 99%
of the time...the silty muddy banks rarely yield notta...now the spots later in video with bedrock exposures, they're the 'juice', even in the shallow banks...but you have to dig a good bit deeper than what I've seen...the big chunks of bedrock can be moved, I use a 6ft pry bar or shovel, with the water flow as a power assist...its imperative to dig to the clay...not that squishy silty blackish grey sludge like at beginning...but the orange-brown(even a lil whitish as well)rusty clay underneath the big boulders you move...if you can't move it...use that crevice sucker at deepest points or move to another boulder...you got a lot of the battle won as a prospector...you got the will and drive, for sure, plus you got more prospecting gear than me(shovel pan, sluice, and pry bar here), but most, importantly, you got your girl!!...seriously...she's hot for one, lol...and she shares that passion too...man, all I ever got from my woman what what a huge waste of time it is, or I could be doing something else more important...just friction or negativity,(I get it, she thinks its blind gold fever, and I don't bring oz home every time) ...but hey, I'm gonna do it for ME, regardless...its my passion, much more than just a hobby...knowledge and experience and the 'want to' is what it's all about...not getting rich...dont get me wrong, I find gold every trip, if I dont see more than 5 colors in a pan in sample spot, and doesnt get better after 3rd or 4th pan..moving to next spot, and so on...when I see 20 or 30 colors in a pan consistently...I set up sluice....the treasure is in the hunt, my friend....my name is Greg Minter from N.Georgia..hit me up on FB...happy to share what I've learned with others...keep digging, bro!
Hey man I live near Cleveland Tennessee I would love to go to this spot some time I know this is an old post but if you get this message any help would be greatly appreciated since I have no one to go with and virtually no experience at all but I've been thinking about this ever since the last time I went about 2 years.
Where you were pulling the quartz out of the clay looks like the best place to pan for some gold that may of leeched out of the quartz.
I love watching you guys!! Keep the videos coming and don't ever let that woman go.. Good luck to you all.. I used to live near Clear Creek Canyon in Colorado.. Loved it!! Check it out one day. Press on
Nice bro. Can't wait for the next video.
Kyle interesting vid,I read that all gold comes from quarts vains and go with the water.looks like a great haul after you get the gold out.Awesome man and I (like everyone else, thinks your girlfriend is a keeper) 🙃and good hunting! 😎
How about changing tte title to "Panned all day for 7 flakes of gold."
Haven’t watched it all yet but those rocks! AUsome!
Still haven’t got all the way through the video/movie yet lol🧐 but those hunks of Quartz! You gotta send me one. BTW I’m sure you watch Ask Jeff Williams, anyways he’s on the history channel on ancient aliens right now. I’m gonna finish your video now✌️
only a gold lover gets that...👍 love it totally AUsome...🤣
Well for your first time panning and first time going out to prospect for gold, it was ok, but we get better every time we go !! Good luck, thanks for sharing!!
I sure hope you went back in later Summer with better access. That water is high and dangerous, your patience and determination is incredible and worthy of a 10 pound nugget one day!
Very cool. Just now seen this video inside my video feed.. I'm actually just learning how to do this in my spare time. But I have also find a lot of quartz rocks over the past three years in several dozen locations and crushed a few rock up and seen some good minerals and flakes(small) of gold also.
Kyle, what are your thoughts on the use of a motorized mini tramel for use in areas that have small nuggets and mostly fine gold? I'm curious because I saw a friends mini tramel and it seems like you could move a lot of material with it, even more than a high banker or sluice. I'm curious on your thoughts on this. The one my friend has really isn't any bigger than a normal size high banker.
Your aloud 50feet from high Water mark as long as you on edges of the creek you should be okay got to be able to navigate to water maritime law
@@paulnies2679 get em Karen!
Rodney has an outstanding yard!! Go Rodney!!
Is there a part 2 somewhere? Loved this video and am so looking forward to seeing the gold get crushed out!
Viewers and subscribers, ! This historic Coker Creek Mining District in Monroe County Tennessee is an area that is extremely hard to find gold because it is not replenished annually it was deposited by the ice age or a cataclysmic event. Special forces specialist Kyle is going in with his keenness investigative and reconnaissance skills behind every good man is a great woman and her name is Jamie and I know they're going to find some taller at Coker Creek! God Bless America!
Coker Creek is part of a lode gold area called the Eastern Gold Belt, not all glacier gold. NE Georgia is in this gold belt and has been producing lode gold since 1847. Also, it has been illegal to dig outside of the banks of Coker Creek for at least five years. May not want the USFS watch the video.
Just watched your video, all I can say is, you got a heck of a good woman to follow you through all that.
How come you don't get some pc pipe and make detentions for you hand dredge and make it about 12 ft long so you could reach out into the creek
I’ve been waiting for a “Welcome to my home” greeting from Sasquatch !!
Patience buddy. No need to be so vigorous with that pan.it takes 5 ounces of water to move gold!!!
Gold Rush show told him/her
I love your complete 100 percent tenacity toward hunting the gold. I wish I was on the hunt with you guys. I have always wanted to do this, but have never tried.
Another great video bro... can you put links in on the equipment that you used? I am wanting to get started and I can not find a dredge on the net...
God Lord your girlfriend is amazing to go through all that crap. She's a keeper!!!!!!!
Interesting content. I've looked, but don't see part two of cooker creek video. When will ti post?
Gold bless You and Your girlfrend🤩. Thank You for sharing👍
Don't be afraid to dig the old "high benches" during high water.
My property I lived at was in the gold vein coming through Georgia. I was pulling 50lb blocks of quartz from my yard while putting in a sprinkler system. Maybe I should have panned my backyard?
Cabin owner would probably get a lot more people staying if they let you pan river couple feet from your door. As far as your girl SHES A KEEPER for sure.
OMG! (squeal) "I can identify totally barren quartz". A perfect match. She can find specimens more worthless than his.
That Bear don't even Know about a frustrated Prospector!😆
The bear doesn't.
@@joncairy9510 Gotta watch what I say, the grammar cops are everywhere 🤣 Probably was a hall monitor in school too. Getta life Karen
@@gregorymccoy4308 It's not my fault you didn't pass the 5th. grade!
I really hope you hit the jackpot Kyle and Jamie yer IRISH fan😎
Been at both places . To bad the old man is gone . He was a great man . Coker creek post office is also good to go get information . The old man owned most of Coker creek . R.I.P . Small flower gold all I ever found in Coker creek . Now in Arizona 😆
From E.Tenn. to Az....that's quite a change in climate...
Where do you get that stainless classifier, Kyle? Thank You!
This is the "Other" aspect of gold prospecting that needs to be revealed: I personally appreciate your expose of this "$outhern hospitality.
They ain't nothing like us Southerners!
No way, he uses a garret super sluice pan, nothing gets out of them riffles. Plus gold is 19.1 times heavier than water it drops out fast if you stratify the crap out of it. You can then tilt that pan almost vertical dip in in and out of the water skimming 75% of the now tailings out of the pan and not lose any gold. I've seen it and now pan like that from a guy who has a load claim in Liberty Washington on Blewett pass. You can see it from the hwy. it's a hole in the side of the mountain. Some of the best wire gold in the world comes from that area. Australia is the other place. now wire gold is definitely in more area's just Blewett and Australia have museum quality wire gold. One wire gold nugget looked like giraffe pendant or broach straight out of the ground. Four years ago two gold nuggets were found metal detecting on a claim called the Potato Patch" 16oz and 12oz with a Mason jar full of 1/2-4 or 5oz nuggets. The video is on RUclips.
ruclips.net/video/fGLgYrphdmM/видео.html
here. is the link to it. enjoy
To bad the potato patch video is private.
Maybe Southerners have been bitten once too often by "well-meaning" outsiders?
We’re just fed up with outsiders invading into our areas and destroying it. That’s why we can seem rude to new comers. If you knew how many asshole Yankees have moved in here and tried to liberalize everything you’d get it.
We got so much rain here in Kentucky about the time you went down there and that had to be a disadvantage....you’ll have to go back when the water is down...
Its painfull to watch. Get a metal detector,shovel, and with all the quartz. A hammer and sleeve a couple of pipes and make a rock crusher. Good vid
Those roads looks like some of the same ones we take to get to Livingston onto 111 and then to Rickman Tennessee
Great job again yall. Be safe.out there. God bless
I Really appreciate your honest results.
Nice cabin and beautiful Creek
HEY MAN!
Being from Co. Don't mess around when it comes to white water. 4" of water can take a car. Gold will still be there another day.
We had centipedes in Vietnam a foot long, they crunched when cut with a shovel.
Have you done the part II, if so I have missed it somewhere... One thing for sure you put in some work on this adventure.
Part two was a lie...took me two years to find part one...like right now and there was still no follow up that I could find despite the promise of what was coming next...Sorry to bother just had to say something cos your comment (a year ago albeit) was right on the money...hope you are smiling 😁
P.s I would have loved to see that follow up..just saying 😏👍🍻
Gold not always found in black sang, however sometimes can be a great indicator.
That's pretty. Looks a lot like the 43 lbs of gold I found over near the TN, NC line. What a day!
43 lbs of gold? That's over a million dollars worth of gold! Did you really find that much in one trip? If so, I'd love to know where?😲😂
😂😂😂 there isn’t that much gold around here. Certainly not in Coker creek!
Wow..!! Great Video and find..thanks for sharing..Congrats bro ! Best regards from Indonesia
Hey Kyle tim here was wondering did you ever make a video of the 5 gallon bucket you got from cokrer creek would like to see what you found
LOVING THIS VIDEO!REMIND ME TRYING TO PROSPECT!LOL. SHOULD KEPT COMING WEST TO FOOTHILLS OF NORTH CAROLINA, MY NECK OF THE WOODS. 😆
Where can I get, or how can I make, that suction tool you use in this video? I would LOVE to use such a wonderful tool.
Lol y’all drove a long ways to high bank a muddy timber yard. Thanks for the video. Y’all should have brought a kayak and ran the falls that day.
YOU HAVE TO WORK THE BLACK SAND TO GET THE GOLD OUT OF THE SAND
did you buy or make the plastic pipe hand pump that you are using. If you made it can I find a diagram of it somewhere? If bought then where did you buy it?
My wife plays in the moss and found a half oz last summer... I find gold every time we go out. We live in Oregon...
Must be in our surnames hehe
I live in beaverton oregon, and from what I've read, there just isnt any gold in this part of the state..I still try tho..lol sometimes the adventure is the "gold"
@@markaleptic I live near Roseburg we find gold on the Umpqua.
I live in Springfield, Oregon. Haven't found any gold and I've been looking! My girlfriend and I are avid rock hounders. Fall Creek reservoir is our go-to spot for agate, crystals, petrified wood, and jasper. Unfortunately Fall Creek has record low gold recovery rates☹️ probably cause it isn't even 100 years old yet. It was completed in 1966. Where are your favorite spots and what do you hunt for?
I truly enjoyed your adventure, I was truly hoping you would get on some gold , there seems to be that one person everywhere ya go that likes to cause drama , maybe if me and my wife goes after this video I’ll write a few letters to the G.P.A.A. and there state representatives about that lady ...
Wow...I read the part about some lady’s wanting to defend the property and the dam G.P.A.A. which I’m a member of and a United States federal certified miner of mines and minerals and ruining your vacation and me plus my wife was fixing to go down there and rent that cabin , I have to agree they should take the---- damn signs down if we’re not aloud to pan there ....
I live in Tennessee and have found quite a bit of gold in coker creek along with some pickers and a few nuggets. Most was near the falls but the water wasn't near as high as it is in this video. I have found gold all over that creek I tried to add a couple pictures for you, but can only text in the comments. (I have been there many many times though)
Hi Jack, I am moving to TN. Is there a group (GPAA or some other group) that you joined for gold prospecting at coker creek or just go by yourself?
@@vasutest123 you likely won’t be allowed they frown on it and I don’t think your allowed to dig it anymore
Gold not always stop in moss, but doesn’t show where the nuggets are located. Your hand pump is using hard to get into places like bed rock holes in rocks.
Primeiro a comentário, Kelly, abração, Brasil, prospecção é tudo de bom, boa sorte nas suas pesquisas, ouro, ouro
Where did you acquire that suction pump ..yabi pump ? How about showing us jow to make one.
They will be available soon for purchase everyone will be notified, the patent process is a process in its self I want everything top quality and a TOOL because this is not a TOY that works 100% for a easy day of hand dredges with no clogs. So I apologize to everyone for the delay but once you get your hands on one no one will ever leave the creek because it’s a monster at sucking up gravels guaranteed
Your girlfriend has the patience of a saint.
That’s because she’s still a girlfriend. If they marry, she will suddenly lose interest, and nag, hassle, and threaten him daily to quit, his”foolishness”.
Hey man ,nice work there..✌
I loved the boop! Lmao
You being little aggressive with the panning bubba. Seems like you will probably lose 95percent of anything you find. But you do your think chicken wing.
I was thinking he need to work on the panning lol
My thoughts exactly
Know it all
That's what i thought too
Most definitely needs to take a class or two on panning he is just throwing out everything in his pan for the most part
Proper gold fever, I can’t believe how fast you drove to get there..... speed demon
Instead of those old fashioned and worthless round Pie Pans, Kyle my friend, you really need to get the "Production Bundle" of the 'Gold-Claw.' It's 45 times faster and gets right to the point quickly.
Nice video Kyle
Have you ever panned around MN ? Not sure if it would be a hot spot or not but we sure have tons of waterways. If you come up here I can take you to some awesome rivers and creeks (not that you would need help I’m sure) when I was a kid I used to walk up and down so many rivers and creeks just for the adventure and I just have always loved to explore. I will definitely be digging around in the future 🙌
Now that I am watching you , I will prob try myself but some expertise would be nice 😝 love it man. Keep up the awesome work & vids !!
Wellll it sounds like MN is NOT a good spot lol but I will still try and have my own fun. Gotta start somewhere 🤷♂️
Is there anyway u would tell me where u met ur girl at so i can attempt to find one similar that will follow me around like she did through all that and she still enjoyed herself. BEST GIRLFRIEND EVER.
Winter is our wet season in TN. Toward the end of summer that creek would be down to a trickle.
Good adventure bud beautiful terrain even if you don't find a lot of gold it's the adventure the joy that makes you rich something that haters never get stil i think the aggama prank would sort them out 😂
I live in Cripple Creek CO. and can just walk around to this day and find gold gem stones and gold ore..well forget about it its literally everywhere...Love Colorado!!!
Sounds good but cripple creek or you can't even se,e the gold that's why they crush it use cyanide to leach the gold out but hey your not far from crystal peak check it out
Yes it is
I have two questions: 1) what is that giant suck tool called? And 2) where do you go to sell gold once you find it??
The suction tool is sometimes called a "Yabby." Ive seen them on Ebay.
33 minutes in water fall looked promising!
Love the effort get that gold
the way you push water away from the pan is extreme, ive never seen anyone do it that badly
I saw lots of Squatch across the water on this vid... always good to check if your filmographer is still there.
Little Niagara going on there!!!! Gees that perilous!!!!
Gotta have fun widdit, Jamie! Nice to see other areas, nonetheless!!😆
There is so much you miss & throw away by panning in the dark. Never a good idea.
Have you ever used an ultraviolet light during one of your night prospecting trips? If you have already or are planning to do so please let me know how it works.
I live 45 mins from Coker Creek TN. I've found more gold, than You could imagine, just no big nugggz!! But, persistence pays off. Keep hammering!! Just like the lottery, cant win, if you dont play!! Madd Respect Brother, and Your Girlfriend, is a keeper!!
I'm off topside road. Going to Coker tomorrow. Just need help out here. I'm from the desert, it's difficult to understand out here in TN. You down?
There is placer gold on Coker creek. But you may hafta "crack open some bedrock to get it
Kyle that's my camp right below the bridge where you were panning the saw Mill guy told me some one drove a good while to pan at the old gpaa claim if you ever come back here yell at me they are good gold at some places the camp grounds where Coker runs into hiwassee turns out some nice nuggets a 5 gram one a few years ago
That dredge hole under the bridge is our bathtub now we can still dredge on private property getting ready to put my dredge in at camp come stay at our camp as long as you want sometime and we will dredge going back to northern California for the summer soon south fork salmon river for 3 months
Perseverance, determination and determination
You'll definitely find gold.
I wish you all the best🏆🥇👏👏👏
We used to pan and dredge Doc Rogers field on Coker seems like forever ago. The first time gold spiked many years ago, everybody and their momma raided the creek. Opening day of dredge season was pure chaos where we used to see like maybe 1 person. They shut down dredging completely in TN due to people digging in the banks and the silt(which is bs) Doc Rogers field you can no longer pan at either. You can find good gold near the falls from time to time, but it is patchy.
Rule #1. If you don't find color in the first 3 hours stop looking and start fishing.
Rule #2. Stay the hell outta the bear's yard at night.
Rule #3 Never ever risk your lady's safety in the bear's yard at night.
You was in bigfoot country. I took my backpack dredge there and had a blast
Damn Cabin ladies...always trust a Rod with wood...trust me iknow one!
as long as you can get legal access to the creek you can walk right up to her property and pan in the creek running through her property. Nobody owns the actual creek and she can't do a damn thing about it.
That’s exactly what I thought !
@@KyleThiemann I was checking more on this and found that the stream must be strong enough to support aquatic life you are good. Areas where its dried up can be claimed as property by the owner.
Tell that to the state and police when they are called. Many Eastern states claim you have right of travel but property owner owns the ground under the creek to the middle of creek thus you need permission to pan. TN is not a prospecting friendly state that's why I moved. You can't dig outside of or in the banks and got to fill your holes up in creek when you are done. Georgia is even worse, some days you need a permit some days you don't.
Roger Claiborne sucks people are like that
@@KyleThiemann I agree! But politicians think we are getting more than we actually are and don't like it, lol.
