    We quit the whole TV thing because there was nothing really beneficial for my daughters and I spent too much time watching the news channels. Been doing RUclips, feeling a little better about the use of my time. Then I found you guys. Better than any TV show, by far. And you just moved up to #1 in my favorite channel list. :)

    A suggestion for when you are rock hounding. Carry a laser pointer to check the translucency of the rocks. I've never seen a family that smiles so much. Appreciate these precious moments. Time has a way of slipping away before you realize it. Great vid.

      Oh I wish I can click unlimited thumbs up on this valuable comment. This family's relationship is pure gold. We need this kind of role model more and more here in America. The way of life, I mean culture, used to be like that in America but we forgot our rich inheritance. I hope it's not too late.

    I know this is an old vid but I just found your channel recently. You've got quite the adventurous pack of girls they make me laugh but also smile in admiration at times. They certainly seem like they have a can do attitude as long as it's not close to mealtime. It was very cool to have your family out prospecting and making memories. That's what it's all about because if it was about the money you'd of got more gold panning a bottle of goldschlager. Thanks for putting out the videos.

    Holy smokes! I’ve never seen anyone else cook steak on a stick! That’s been my go to technique since I was a boy. My wife and I regularly make it our picnic lunch on day trips. It’s excellent.

    love your channel. BC became a colony in 1858 because of the gold rush. Vancouver Island was the first colony out here and when gold was discovered in 1857 in the lower Fraser near Yale then Governor Douglas had to establish a colony on the mainland as well, and right away because of a fear of losing the whole region to the Americans. The two colony's amalgamated and British Columbia became a province of Canada in 1871

    On the Antrim coast in Ireland I remember finding a complete ammonite fossil covered in what looked like gold. On closer inspection it was just iron pyrites or fools gold. Some of our western mountains have a lot of quartz with occasional gold deposits.

    I'm no expert but to me that seems a really high volume of water movin through the highbank? Might explain at 9:50 why that gold flake wasn't tucked in a trap, it got "pressure washed" out instead... Is there a throttle or flow control you could turn down a notch or ten?

    i crossed the Fraser River near the Alberta line with BC in October of 1982 - in an open river boat at night with my 18 month old son (snuggled under the cabin) with Canadian friends - we stayed in the cabin a few weeks, they slaughtered a cow, I made a pumpkin pie from scratch (a squash, flour, butter) for Canadian Thanksgiving, sewed furs to make a Hobbit costume for a friend's party, and canned tomatoes.

    Steak kabobs yummy! Maybe yall can get enough gold to make mama a gold necklace. Togetherness was what counted. The girls all look like mama a natural beauty!! Interesting video! Papa if you want to keep up with the girls energy you might want to watch packing on that beef, and do more gold panning and nugget search with them in place of watching the icebergs go by. It's good for the heart more importantly to live a long life for them. Funny ending as always!

  • @bow.9496
    @bow.9496 5 лет назад

    Have you thought of using a metal detector up and down the areas you are panning just to see if there are clusters of gold dust or larger nuggets?
    Also, you may have to get a smaller sieve to take those small pebbles out. They seem to be filling up your mat holes where the gold is supposed to go. That, along with the really strong flowing water, you may be washing some flakes past.
