  • Please try a newer video they are much better.
    In this adventure I go to a section of creek I have never explored. I was in for a surprise this area was beautiful and it was about a perfect day and the gold was shining in the pan. I take apart the Double Deuce sluice and pan the sections separately to show that most the gold is in the bottom. Thanks for Watching.
    Get in the Creek and get That GOLD!!!

    • @BenzoGold79

      Hey thanks. Per hour..I never tried to measure it like that. Thats not really the point to recreational gold panning. There's a lot more to it than the gold totals. I highly recommend anyone to try it as a peaceful day in nature full of exploration discovery and hard work any gold semiprecious stones or artifacts gained is clearly a bonus.✌

      @@BenzoGold79 Yeah I found this on the internet: "So digging and cleaning out a small but good crevice and panning the material might take twenty minutes. Let's say that yields a quarter of a gram, which amounts to about 0.75 grams of gold per hour, and that gives just about 42 hours to get an ounce of gold by panning in a typical but decent spot."
      That translates into about $45/hour. - which is pretty damn good, really.
