Hi mr Daz. Nice to see you back was unexpected. Hope you and Northern pickers team up in future again. He is looking after some one at the moment so best not disturb him at moment.
@MrDazP1adv3ntures I'm just relatively new to gold panning, had few micro specs but that's about it. Its a Good day even finding nothing. Excuse to go camping and paning and getting away from the madness of life . Better than any pill for depression and anxiety And a great night's sleep. People should try it at least once. Pan away
Nice vid Daz. Great underwater shots of the suction pump in action. Every now and again that burn gives up a decent picker, one of my best pieces from there. All the best
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I know what you mean. It’s one thing trying to find gold, but to filming finding it there and then adds a whole other level of difficulty
Try following the falls of Clyde nature walk from new Lanark there old Roman baths n ruins along some waterways with gold in mainly sun bakers I found when a kid
Thanks once again Stephen. I have seen some pictures of the falls and they look stunning to say the least which has always begged the question, could there be gold ?
You know this more than anyone buddy. BTW, it's been warm and sunny for over a week here now ! In general it has been cold up to June more often than not.
@mattjohn7700 there's also a new theory being put out there by scientists with philosophical doctoring where they believe there must have been a "Creator". They are talking about the moments before the big bang. There was nothing. And from nothing basic life structures eventually came to be. Then they talk about how these simple cells are basically coded with information (DNA). Mankind creates coding in every day technology, so this begs the question, Where did the coding of life come from, if there was nothing to begin with ? They then talk about the "The Goldilocks zone" ..... It's deep stuff but proper interesting.🤔🤪
Oh wow dude I've been on that stretch quite a few times an never seen anything that big just tiny bits nice find, the yellow stuff is a nightmare lol it melts into a silver blob would love to get it tested to see what it is
Hi Carl, I think the yellow stuff could be Pyromorphite but please correct me if I'm wrong. It's a good little stretch up there as it will continually give you some gold, albeit on the small side I was surprised to see the picker land on the top mat because at first it looked like a bent piece of metal. It had some weight to it from the sound it made in the pan.
@MrDazP1adv3ntures morning, I couldn't tell u what it was daz I did take some to a jewler to melt down for me an it turned in to a silver blob he said if I could get 5lb of it he would send it to a refinery for me to see what's actually in it, I never accepted the challenge lol, good effort once again dude nice find 😎
Hi Jay, like most prospectors, I have little sample vials with gold from the regions I have found it. The truth is, it takes a long long time for it to mount up. I'm not a prolific nugget catcher but I am passionate about telling the story of how the day unfolded. I have met other people in the community who really do find amazing gold but tend not to film it....
Thanks for sharing your local knowledge Stephen. I know where Tinto hill is too. Have you ever prospected the hills to the south east of Moffat. There's fault lines right on a few burns...
Hi Daz when I was a lad l found a field covered in mushrooms. I was born not long after the second world war and I lived in a prefab, the inside was made of cardboard! When I found the mushrooms it was like finding a pot of gold there were hundreds, maybe one day you will find your river of gold😊 Sir Michael Caine lived in a prefab, not a lot of people know this 😂
Nice one young man. Michael Caine and mushrooms. I'm sure we could make a joke out of this some how. The weather has been fab all week hasn't it. I trust that you are getting out and doing at least 2 laps of Honister pass 😁
Hello @theoldguy , being an old gal myself, I remember seeing the prefabs you mention, of-cause they may not be the same ones, I lived between Derby and Nottingham at the time, I also believe Sir Michael Caine did live in one at some point in his life, but like you say “ Not a lot of people Know this” 😅
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Hello Darren, just popping in to see how you’re doing, still enjoying the Scottish landscape I see, congrats on that nice little find I would have to frame it as it came from a Scottish burn 😅 short story about mushrooms 🍄 but no joke, as a child I loved mushrooming with my dad until he related the chilling event when a farmer let his Bull loose in the field he was collecting them as a youth, he was tossed over a 6ft hedge, luckily for him he landed on the opposite side or I wouldn’t be here to tel the tale today 🤷♀️ Good luck on finding that river of gold the old guy mentioned 🤞then I can come and have a holiday in your new mansion, if only!! 👋
Great video, I subscribed because of your cycling videos but enjoyed this too. Knowing nothing about panning for gold I was wondering, what do you do with the findings? Leave them as they are or melt them down together to create a single nugget? Also what kind of weight was your total findings from this video? I know you said that single speck would make your day but the whole find seemed massive compared to that.
Hello Jon, I have many hobbies but have been cycling since a school boy but found gold panning a bit later on in life as I didn't believe that there was gold in the UK. How wrong was I... The honest answer is, When I find it I enjoy looking at it and It can be quite mesmorizing. It ends up in small vaisles. Hopefully one day I will have enough to make a wedding band for my daughter but putting all of this to one side, it is a great subject to film and to share with others who have watched me go from knowing nothing at all about the subject to a regular video maker based in the UK. A typical day can vary from 0.2 g to 1 or 2 g depending on the area and the geology of the location. The bigger pieces found in the UK are mainly discovered with specialist metal detectors or by diving for it - known as sniping. General panning and sluicing is more laborious and if the ground isn't good, it will show in your pan at the end of the day.
Please help.. just brought the gear.. no idea lol, wanting to go wild camping/panning.. do I need permission/permit before I go.. anywhere you'd recommend.. any advice gratefully appreciated
Wild camping is fine in Scotland but the places like around Loch Lomond may have restrictions due to litter louts. In England and Wales it's not permitted but many people who do this, arrive late and leave early with no traces. Leadhills is a great place to wild camp and permits to are about £35 a year. The Mennock is popular too. You can a permit from the mining museum.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures have copd so can't trek to far from car lol.. don't really like the idea of too busy tho.! Hope to have a sluice by the weekend then full kit, bring it on.. sigh lol

Passionate about working to find gold, friends...Good job...Greeting from Indonesian traditional gold prospecting 🇮🇩💎😮❤❤
Thanks my friend 👍
Really enjoy this gold content (great picker) beautiful serene places cheers for sharing it with us 👍👍🙏
Thanks Pollatso. Much appreciated.
Every now and then a little picker comes our way...🙂👍
Hi mr Daz. Nice to see you back was unexpected. Hope you and Northern pickers team up in future again. He is looking after some one at the moment so best not disturb him at moment.
Hi William and yes it would be nice to see Lewis once again at the river. It's been a long time
That looks like a great day out well done DAZ thank you for sharing 👏 👍
👍It was a good day out some time ago in early spring. The waters were cold then.
Very nice picker there. Well done
It was a pleasant surprise Mouldy T...👌
That is a fantastic piece to find MrDaz. Scotland is the place to be! :o)
Every now and then a slightly bigger piece pops up SGP 🙂
Love gold panning great hobbie to do. Passes the time and gets you out in to the great outdoors.
Too right 👍

Absolutely. The great outdoors is a wonderful gift for us all to enjoy
Thanks Daz , made my day , get a snipe on
Cheers buddy, a few more specs to add to the collection 👌
Great picker Daz! Though the real gold here is chilling at that peaceful river side spot with a good sandwich👍atb Chris
The lunch break is always the highlight of the day CH...👍
Nice vid Daz. Great underwater shots of the suction pump in action. Every now and again that burn gives up a decent picker, one of my best pieces from there. All the best
It must have been hammered by the old timers, I dare say they diverted the river at some point too.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yeah absolutely, the ground there is full of evidence of past workings
The Gowd scars are fascinating on the other side of the hill.
They shifted hundreds of tonnes of earth with the hydraulic mining back in the day.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yeah they really worked it, but kindly left a little bit for us. Might be fortunate enough to catch you down there one day
If you do, bring some crab sticks just in case
Amazing spot there Daz, the bedrock looks great for sniping. Some nice character to the picker of the day 🙌
I just wish that it would have dropped into the sluice when I was doing the tripod shot feeding the top mat.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I know what you mean. It’s one thing trying to find gold, but to filming finding it there and then adds a whole other level of difficulty
Effort reward, well done!
This litle spot occassionally delivers the odd gem, and it definitely made my day Ruckusflow 👍
Nice one Mr Daz
Cheers TT. How's the treasure hunting going ?
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Not bad my friend
Was thinking about purchasing that book.... any good? Great upload mate 👍 thank you
Hi Andy, it's a very useful addition to the avid gold panners Collection.
It pulls all of the information out there into one place for reference.
Try following the falls of Clyde nature walk from new Lanark there old Roman baths n ruins along some waterways with gold in mainly sun bakers I found when a kid
Thanks once again Stephen. I have seen some pictures of the falls and they look stunning to say the least which has always begged the question, could there be gold ?
It’s just the best way to kill some time aye bro excellent vid as always cheers
You know this more than anyone buddy.
BTW, it's been warm and sunny for over a week here now !
In general it has been cold up to June more often than not.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures glad ya getting some sun mate heading out in the rain tomorrow for a scratch see what we find aye
With the side care or the quad ?
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures on foot bro
Nice one Daz you're going to have a Jam jar full soon.well one.
I like your enthusiasm Matt. More like a thimble full buddy. Gold is still a pretty rare commodity 😊
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures fascinating watching 👀 millions of years floating about and you get it. Nice one.
It was created over 14.5 billion years ago !
That's mind boggling....
@MrDazP1adv3ntures James Web telescope is saying it's all wrong Daz? Big bang .love watching that kind of stuff.

@carl.369 interesting points you've raised there buddy, my thoughts are, it's probably toxic
That was a lovely bit of gold daz. Do you have a little glass jar that you keep all your gold in 😎

Pulled a nice one today, uploaded the video.
Great stuff buddy I will take a look 👍
Also round the back of tinto hill to the right of campsite there a waterway with gold n garnets
Thanks for sharing your local knowledge Stephen. I know where Tinto hill is too.

@bernicebest Hi Bernice, what a great story about your father's lucky escape and saving the crown jewels 😬
As for the gold, it's worth about a fiver £££😁
Lovely find Daz 👌🏻
I’ve got a new drop riffle for you to test if you’re interested, just let me know 👍🏻
Thanks Cai, every now and then a better piece turns up 🙂

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures the wedding band is a beautiful idea. Thanks for the insight sounds like something I’d probably enjoy having a go at to be honest.
@jonfarcher you end up looking at rivers on every bike ride, prospecting on the go so to speak.
