I know exactly where those tailings piles are sir, you've got a good eye. There are many more areas like that also, maybe I'll see you out there this spring. I've got a minelab equinox 800 and a high banker. Always fun to get out there in nature regardless of the gold found...
So much fine gold up in those parts for sure! Awesome adventure bro, just found the channel, subbed and will be watching. Thank you for taking us along 👊
Wish I had someone who enjoyed this as much as me. Just getting into the hobby, they do say dogs are mans best friend. Haha guess me and my pup will continue prospecting ❤ great video bud! Love my home state.
Well It wasn't a tip cuz the gold in your video is better. Hehe. I just moved over here from the west side of the state where I knew it well. But out here in monument I'm on the edge of grant county and not really sure where to go that's absolutely public. But no, Don't go to monument for gold necessarily hehe
For gold prospecting- a good pan that is comfortable to your hands, a short shovel and pry bar and a bucket. These are my main tools on the daily. Than get a gold cube so you can bring material home to run when you find gold. For detecting- I would say a Nokta/Makro simplex
My partner and I have two mines in that area. If you want to know anything about mining in that area contact Jack Myers or the Bolin brothers in Baker. Jack has the site "Ham Homestead."
Super fine stuff. That area was abandoned after the first pass with the dredge cause the gold wasn’t as good in that section compared to the upper valley where dredge 3 is! The best ground is under the town of Sumpter!
Yeah I was trying to chase that bedrock shelf down but I have a feeling even the dredges didn’t hit bed rock. I wish I had more than a few hours at that location I would love to see what I could find deeper down! Thanks for watching!
" I forgot my shovel!" Lol Minor says. Actually loved your video. Thank you. Beautiful country!
Awesome video buddy! Thank you. Great little adventure

I saw some videos of someone or another pulling huge nuggets out of tailings piles….. maybe you’ll be next !!!!!
Going back in May to do more hunting we really got to get you over here to Oregon
great work bro.... thx
Im gonna have to go up this summer!
I can see you using a high banker there to see how you could do being as that you are showing some color in the pan
Would be a nice place for sure!
Nice.
Have u ever dug around monument oregon at all?
No I will look up the area! Thanks!

Good rock hounding in that area though
What’s a good starter system to start with that don’t cost arm and leg?
For gold prospecting- a good pan that is comfortable to your hands, a short shovel and pry bar and a bucket. These are my main tools on the daily. Than get a gold cube so you can bring material home to run when you find gold.

@@pnwprospecting when I get home what a good starter system so I can run water that I can dump scoops into and have water running
Gold cube would be the best investment! 3 stack is perfect if your doing river gravel 4 stack if there is a lot of black sand or beach mining.
@@pnwprospecting you know name of web page ?
Goldcube.net
I’m pretty sure you were about 30miles from my house lol
It’s a great area up there to explore! I grew up in la grande and miss the area!
Where is this? i live in north eastern oregon and wanna do some exploring

Awesome thank you for the advice! I grew up in that area and I’m really looking forward to going back a lot more this summer. Thanks for watching!
It that an area known for nuggets?
Yes! So more trips are going to happen!
where about? im in portland
Almost need a microscope to see those tiny specks of gold.
Super fine stuff. That area was abandoned after the first pass with the dredge cause the gold wasn’t as good in that section compared to the upper valley where dredge 3 is! The best ground is under the town of Sumpter!
If you want big gold in that area you have to go for the bedrock.
