- 210lbs of Home Depot sand: It's almost cliché but does it pay?
No prospecting channel is complete without the classic Home Depot Gold experiment.

Update: Several people have asked where the sand came from so I reached out to the Atlanta Quikrete office (which is right near the Georgia Gold belt btw). Once I get an answer from them I'll be sure to post another update.

That's it I'm headed for Home depot lol. thanks for the video.
Jeff Williams did this(along with many on RUclips) he said this with "sand California sand) it had a bit more gold than you got. Out this way(California) gold is found in Granite. Good video.
That’s an impressive amount of gold. Time to go buy some sand
Nice way to tweak your sluice, test other mat configs. Cheers!
Tom Massey in one of the episodes of his show, gold fever, showed that he went into a hardware store and bought a bag of sand, ran it through a sluice box and found gold. The company that collects the sand and bags it is in the business of selling sand, not mining for gold..
I randomly met one of my viewers that works for the company that mines the sand. He told me they definitely do assays and are aware of the traces of gold. He ended up joining my prospecting club and finding his first gold that day.
Never even thought about building sand
I thought everybody had already seen Ask Jeff Williams' and Klesh's videos on Home Depot sand.
@@goldiswhereyoufindit iv seen alot off there videos but I must off missed that one lol have you joind goldtube on Facebook?
Great job all around fam. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream fam. Gold Squad Out!!!
That's great. I would have never thought of that. I liked the gator pic on the wall too.
It's a priceless oil painting. nfs you can't have it lol
@@goldiswhereyoufindit Your daughter might have something to say about that
You can "aim" that power-head either "upstream or downstream", Bro'‼️ Very nice attachment, for sure 👍😎Now, like everyone else who's done this, you hafta figure out what to do with the "Tailings"🧐🤨🤣😎
Never thought about turning it the other way but that's an interesting idea.
@@goldiswhereyoufindit works well in a "low-flo" situation 🧐👍
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
You had found more gold in the sands than what I was thinking. rock on 🤘
Just found your channel the other day and watched quite a few of your videos.
I'm also residing in Georgia in the SW region close to the Florida line.
I do have plans to visit up there in Whites county to pan for some nice shiny candy
Would be cool to meet up some time if you're interested in showing another disabled noob around
Building sand or sand for children's playgrounds, there can definitely be gold in it.
I've already tried these things. And was successful.
But it's just a matter of proof. We won't get rich lol.
Well done, pal 🤠🇩🇪👍
If you got that much just imagine what there collecting at the gravel pit.
Can't imagine it's not going through
a dry wash sluice before bagging.
The cost of that would be astronomical. Dirt is cheap, make it more expensive and Lowe’s will take over, which I shudder at the thought of.
Well done mate over took me on subs this week
What a trip, I didn’t think there was going to be anything. Right on 😎👌👊
It was absolutely LOADED with pyrite too. Your turn. Let's see what that west coast Home Depot has.
@@goldiswhereyoufindit , game on 😎👌👊
I found gold in Walmart sand box sand,forgot to put the lid on and after it rained there it was.small flakes everywhere.
In Georgia? I recently discovered that the Crisson mine sells all their crushed ore to sand vendors. The don't crush their ore very fine. They get out the bigger flakes for their customers and paydirt and sell the rest to sand vendors. That sand is loaded with gold.
It depends on where the sand comes from sand that comes from California usely has some gold arzona as well good luck
Good luck on your job is going well
Hell yeah you gotta get a semi trash for that thing. Maybe get the raptor flare extension piece and use it as an extension for this and it’s basically a high banker. Cool video though!
workin on it lol.
where was this sand from? the location of the material is really important from what i hear.... i think the cali and Nevada
sand from homedepot are the best
Bought this in Athens, GA but not sure where it was quarried.
Pretty good result holy shit
Pretty cool bro.
Sugar scoop gold miners ? Home Depot sand ?
Liked, shared and commented.
That looks a lot like cement?
No, just all purpose sand. It's the same brand that makes cement mix though.
You have a good chance if the sand is from northern Georgia.
The Quikrete office in Atlanta is basically right on the gold belt. I'm going to find out where it was quarried on Monday.
Nice. I'll take it. 😁
Did it say on the bags where it's from? It is so cool that gold can be found in a bag of Home Depot sand, I would have bet money there wouldn't be any in there.
It's not labeled with a location but I would assume somewhere here in Georgia. ass-u-me
@@goldiswhereyoufindit On the bag in the small print back bottom right, it'll tell you it was bagged in Georgia, but I don't think it gives a region.
Does this depend entirely on where you live? Are my chances absolutely zero if the sand is from a HD in Texas or Missouri?
I called the local "quikcrete" office and asked them where they sourced their sand. They said North Georgia, I said thank you. It must be a gold bearing area with gold bearing quartz veins.
That was a great video. Did the bags say where the sand was from? I also wonder if you can buy coarser sand that maybe has chunkier gold.
I am reaching out to the Quikrete Atlanta office to find out where the sand came from and I'll let you know.
@Reptwar Banski it just so happens I work at a rock quarry here in the Atlanta area, and we've all been curious about our sand piles. On tonight's list of things for me to do is clean the build up out from under our sand belts. Some buckets of it are going home with me tonight.
Hello.
How many liters per hour does that water pump throuw?????
1100 gallons per hour. 4,200 litres.
Well of course your gonna find gold in sand. The thing is is it worth the time invested?
Not if your looking to make money.
If money isn't on the top of your list go for it and have fun. I have a yard with dense clay that probably has 2x as much gold but it's not worth the trouble.
Are you sure that's not concrete mixed with sand?
Yes I'm 100% sure. It's crushed granite and quartz.
hahahaaaa...I've one of these before. 😜🤠
12:50 it looks the same on camera though... do the shadow test so we can see
I mixed all the sand in my garden lol
Doubled your subscribers. Is it 1,000 to be monitized ?
that's correct. 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours within the last 12 months to get in the partner program.
New sub here 👍⛏️😎
Thanks I really appreciate it.
You lose all fine gold.
Whit this matt.
I hear your opinion, but I've also caught 200 mesh gold with this in the past. Maybe it loses some I don't know. I'll test it by running tailings.
@@goldiswhereyoufindit this matt dont have the suficiente espacio para acumular el oro fino.
Solo acumula el oro de cierto tamaño en los riples del silicon.
Damn, first season and already stealing ideas from other youtubers.
If this is stealing then so is digging for gold in a creek, because other people have already done that too.
@@goldiswhereyoufindit Atleast try to be original or maybe steal some intros too while you're at it.
@@DieselJeeper 10-4 I'm on it. Which one should I steal? I'm thinking Dan Hurd's intro is pretty sick. I'm gonna rock that next video. I'm just out here having fun. If people watch the videos, cool. If not they can go dig their own holes. Plus I thought it was original. Nobody has ever done it with the Gold Hog Power Pig and Georgia sand is way different than California sand.
@@goldiswhereyoufindit I was watching Dan Hurd during the last comment. IMO, originality, personalities, and find lots of gold are all what makes a good channel. If you enjoy what you're doing then don't let people like me stop you. This goes all the way back to Vine, but sick of seeing one person do something that works and everyone else doing the same.
@@DieselJeeper I didn't do the Home Depot video because I thought it would get views. I did it because I personally wanted to know if there was gold in Georgia Home Depot sand and I wanted to test out my new toy. Every time I do something gold related I record it and post it regardless of what people think. I'm probably not going to find "lots of gold" because this is Georgia and I'm brand new to prospecting. I got my first gold pan this past Christmas. I learn from the experienced prospectors that watch my channel and give me feedback.
