    I'm glad you both are safe and it was just a matter of some lost equipment. My father drowned on a gold mining trip in Alaska when I was a baby. It's all fun and games until the tide rises. Thank you for not going out in the water to try and find the lost equipment, because that stuff can be replaced, you can't. I'm so glad you're safe and you both made the best of the situation 🤎 these have been some really cool and scenic videos and I've enjoyed watching you two having fun on this adventure 😊

      ButterflyLoverGirl you couldn't say it better. Sad that your father missed seeing you grow up. Sometimes we forget things are just that & people are unique. Si what a great 5 day break. I am hoping hubby will go camping after his operation (if it's not postponed again) with a couple of mates.

    Thoroughly enjoyed each video of the Gold Hunting Scotland series. Your competitiveness in the search and camaraderie in good and bad, kept it all quite interesting and inspiring. Surely the gold that remains, looks forward to your return and the river will keep your sluice a secret until then. You've done it! I'm proud of you, Simon. Love from he U.S.

    I'm also glad you didn't lose more than you did.
    Someday maybe in a hundred years or so, a mudlarker will find it and hopefully find a maker's mark or somthing to identify it.

      Yeah we weighed it. About 0.1 grams each 😂

    Thanks Si. Well that was an adventure for your holiday . Such a bummer you had to hunt down your equipment. But it added to the memories the of the adventure. But you did find gold dust and flakes! Jackery really isn't a good deal. Only about 500 cycles if charge then the battery is just another environmental pollutant. Amazon also has The BLUETTI. SAME lithium ion solar charged or AC charged portable power but has 3500 cycles of usable charging. That's many more years for the money.

    This is one of the reasons I miss England, the beautiful birds singing and being able to walk around without watching the floor and canopies for things that bite and sting oh and the snakes eeeew . Congratulations on the gold adventure and next time NEVER leave your things in or by the river in case of the water rising again. Take care mud lovers and stay safe and well. Awesome video and thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍💖💖

    Scottish weather is like wales, rivers rise so quick. Good job the spade weighted the bucket down. It's worth the effort, u found gold.

    Thanks very much Si, well done on finding some gold, really enjoyed that adventure. How you manage to endure a week roughing it in a little tent in the rain beats me ! And I was expecting a surprise reveal at the end though - you'd finally found your missing sluice 😀

    I enjoyed this. Thank you, and Shawn as well. I can now see the appeal of gaudy looking gold nugget jewelry. The pride of all the work, and happenstance of finding gold in one big river. I'm voting for a return visit.

    Great video to end your gold mining expedition. Seeing that gold all together in the corked bottle must have been so satisfying. Although you did lose some of your equipment you will always have your memories. The good times and late nights you have with friends is the real gold. Have a great week and please keep safe. 🇨🇦

    Simon- you can make a pendant with your gold flakes by placing them between 2 watch crystals and making a gold bezel to hold them together. As clever as you are, you can do it! All the best from the US!

    WOW Si Finds! That Sean dance will certainly go viral! Such skill, such water, such wetness and such Adventure! And Kind Thanks! The small trout stream is in my back yard, at least a bit of it in my woods where I live. Years back some friends panned out some flakes. Now with you and your mates Big Adventure, I must buy a pan and try me luck! And when the water rises hup I thought Holy Sheet as well! What great fun indeed so! And many blessings to you all!
