  • www.WhereGoldIs... In this video we continue to show you how we find gold in a small mountain creek. It's too wet to use dry washers, but there isn't enough water to run a sluice, so we had to modify our techniques.

    You have been so interesting to watch. I don't pan but my son-in-law with my grandkids do and they love it. It is a nice day to spend with the family for a healthy outdoor activity. Kudos to those that do it for a living!

    The pump doesn't run off AC? Wondering why you are using the battery at home...

      I use the same pump at the house and out in the field, so a battery powered one is what I use.

    Very interesting video. When you get through going through your buckets, can you give us an idea of your final tally? Either the total gold weight, or value is US dollars?
    Thanks

    • @HowToDrillAWell

      This day yielded about 1.75 grams, which was at the time a little under 100$ for 5-6 hours of mining and 1.5 hours of driving and 1 hour of sluicing at home.

    I live in North Georgia Cherokee county and all my black sand is magnetite. I was wondering if this is normal because I am new to mining aswell as sluicing.

    • @HowToDrillAWell
      @HowToDrillAWell  10 лет назад

      It's basically a non-issue. It doesn't matter how much black sand you have, or what type it is; what matters is how much gold is in it, and the only thing black sand tells you is whether you're finding heavy materials in your pan or not. Black sand, because it's the second-heaviest thing in the creek, tends to follow gold; but the presence of black sand does not tell you that gold is there.

    • @clayyates2416
      @clayyates2416 10 лет назад

      Yes black sand is rely iron and its magnetic so that is normal and if you have black sand your gonna have gold!!!

    • @nathanielburson8929
      @nathanielburson8929 10 лет назад +1

      Clay Yates
      That's just not true. Black sand is often present without gold. In fact, statistically, it's almost ALWAYS present without gold.
      But when there IS gold, black sand generally indicates that you are near where the gold might be, because black sand is heavier than most other things in the creek, so it behaves like gold.

      @HowToDrillAWell  9 лет назад +1

      will broccolo California. I would start at the beginning with my videos; size of gold makes little difference, it all acts the same. Just have to be a bit more careful with fine gold, you'll definitely need a gold hog mat and a blue bowl.

      will broccolo Yes, but if you use the gold hog mat that wouldn't be an issue. I'd watch some of their videos, their mat is by far the best on fine gold, IMO.

    • @auassassin787
      @auassassin787 4 года назад

      You can't efficiently search much terrain when using a pin pointer. This is the reason why you see prospectors (and relic hunters) using pin pointers After they have located a target, excavated a plug, and need to really zero in on the target's exact location.
