- Опубликовано: 10 дек 2024
- The video explains a lot. My total results were way off the mark.
After 4 days my totals were 28.7 grams.
with today's gold price. that gives me a total of Total gold value is $1,546.09.
That's not bad for only 4 days of work.
I want to Thank Mr. Fossickers for all the patience he gave me. We talked several times on the phone. He gave me great advice on how to use the Pyramid Pro pan properly.
Hope you get something out of the video.
Two things: 1. I’m sure that most of us would be very interested in seeing a demonstration of your Pyramid Pro. 2. I’m also sure that most of us would love to watch you weigh your gold in front of us. Thanks!
You know PIONEER PAULY.? DAN HURD..?? THERE GREAT.!! 😁👍
@@seantilson6330 : I do not know them personally, but I often watch their videos!! Yeah! They are great!
Awesome Video. Love it. Was just up in Idaho prospecting on Rainy Creek. Zero gold. However when we sampled some of the fields with smooth stones we found some colors.
Pard you started the video west of American falls. Well the boat docks are western edge of massacre rocks bonanza bar is across the river. And it was dredged in the 1800s. Your camp ground is in Wyoming. Nice video. Yes the gold is there.
You just can't beat right back ingenuity. Thank you sir for this video. I really like your setup, and the information you provided. Stay innovative and you will be successful.
Great work! That gold looks very pure. Your statement about there are not many places with pure gold is so spot on. Good video!
We have mostly 24 kt here in SC and GA, great videos!
Really not what I found in my 4 inch Keene dredge
Thank you you finally gave me a spot that I can go possibly finding a little bit Of gold that is not hours away from my place Thank you again
Man, love your set up!! Just getting into this and am going to copy your set up. Just purchased the Adventure Sluice today. Next time you’re out here give me a shout. I live right by the RV park you were staying at here in Idaho Falls..I’d sure we’d get along seeing that we are the same age..LoL
We'll probably be back out there in the next few months.
I'll tell ya, if you live near there. I found some nice color. Not a lot, but nice color behind the dog park.
Where the river and the canal split. In that split we found some good sized rocks moved and rolling around. So, I thought I'd try that spot. Good idea I did. Found about a gram plus. But only did about 6 shovel folks. Since I have a dog, she's more interested in playing with the other dogs instead of letting me work a bit.
I really like what you're saying. I live really close by that area I'm going to have to try it. Thanks for the info
Must have been one hell of a spot,great results.
Fiction. Pure fiction. I've panned that area. Typical Snake flour gold. There is no course gold at his (stated) location. Fake video.
Very interesting. You taught me a lot.
Your quite welcome
Love it James! Would love to see you work the clay. Thanks for the great detail.
Nice gold brother keep up the hard work.
Great setup indeed fam. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream fam. Nice au indeed fam. Gold Squad Out!!!
Fam.. 😳🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭
Do u really beleive this guy ?
Im calling bullshit!
Bullshit 100%. My test pans at this location were very slim pickings. 2 micron specks at the areas he said he panned. Typical Snake River results. Nothing to see here....
AWESOME!!!! THANKS 4 POSTING" have a pro pan....guna start using it more!
Your setup looks really good 👍
Pyramid pan is pretty neat. Get some cheap pallet wood and make a rocker box for it with a handle and foot pedal. It will save your back. Just don't over fill it and do a few little rocks to stratify, then big rocks to get rid of the overburden. I have a small rectangle piece of scrap sheet metal that I put in the water to rock on.
HOW NICE I LIKE THAT DREAM SLUICE BOX 🦅🦅🦅🦅
Great vid and explanation! Also, I suggest using a tripod so your video is less shaky - you could also use some editing extensions that do it for you if am not mistaken!
Great results indeed. Awesome gold. I have a couple claims in Idaho myself. Maybe you need to educate me a bit. Look forward to a final cleanup and totals video if so inclined. ✌️😎
Enjoyed watching your video. Great information and explanation of process for finding extracting of yellow shining gold. Thankyou. Jammy can you post information about your sluce make size and price header box please. Very nice gold.😃😃😃😃😃

This is where I got my mini portable setup
Wow there have been 10s of thousands of ounces of gold taken from the snake river, but no reports of gold that's as coarse as you are showing here...I have to call BS on this video
Agree. This summer I processed about a yard of some ol'timers fines from a dredge/gravel operation from the Snake. Really rich about 2oz recovered, bright color high purity. Every bit of it was 100 mesh or smaller (dust). Very hard to capture .
I've looked into it for years now and prospecting snake river fir years. Lots of gold but only fine powder gold. I'm calling bs as well. . No one in history has found chunky gold like that on the snake in idaho
The gold shown here did not come from the Snake river, the Snake river averages 1million to 3 million pieces to the ounce
This guy us screwed in the head needs to feel cool I guess. 😤
@@Ai_Pluspathological liar fuckin boat dock 😭
How many times do I say the word, "Ummm"...
Sorry folks. Not real educated for filming videos.
listen to some of the politicians ahhhh ahhhh
@@directcoolingservice7225
I do like listening to this fellows voice in the video above as he has a very good pleasant voice, umm (and even ahh ahh like Obama) are not too bad because what is worst for me is when people say "you know" or "ya know" over and over repetitively in a conversation which is really annoying and drives me nuts. But what is absolutely more worse than anything that drives me the most crazy is when some English speakers do not pronounce the "R" like Riva for River, Numba for Number, Dock for Dark, Shock for Shark, Mock for Mark, Pot for Part, Lodge for Large, Caw for Car, Baw for Bar, Paw for Par, etc..
@@royjohnson465 Stay outta Maine , you don't like the r drop , you will go insane there
Cool that you say what cost on things are, and cost of accommodations. That's helpful.
When ya said 2-3 grams at the end i was thinkin ozts lol!! HEAVYPANS!!!!!!
We do too.e and my family are trying to find a way to get out there.
Thats some great looking Gold there
Sweet haul. Y'all gave names to the other side of the aisle too, Please don't play victim... Love that side of Idaho's recreational spots, I've been stuck in western Idaho too long!
Watching your video I was struck by the lack of extremely fine gold flakes that you mention.
The Snake river, if anything, is known for the difficulty of retrieving those extreme fines, as mentioned in 'Gold in the Snake river'. By, Lawrence L. Dee, Geologist
I believe you were lucky to have hit that coarse gold in such abundance.
But I believe if that coarse gold existed today for you, the location was either missed by the 'Old Timers', or they felt the clay that contained it (As you mentioned) was too difficult to work for it.
I worked for a time on a large mine in Carlin, Nevada where the gold was locked in rocks and had to be removed after the rocks that contained it were crushed.
If that gold was locked in rocks, how much more might have been released into the Snake river as river gravels broke down the similar host rock along its banks.
We expect fines are abundant in the Snake 100,000 times to each piece of coarse gold as you found. How much more that ultra fine gold that is invisible to the naked eye exist as opposed to those fines seen in a pan?
Gold leaf used in gilded signs in 3X3" by 25 sheets is quite heavy, though no more substantial than the dust off a Butterfly's wings, you cannot touch the sheets or they disintegrate.
Find a way to capture such ultra fines in a sluice, and I think you'd be rich pretty quick!
I tested the area in question. There is a layer of grey mud about 2"-3" thick. It is NOT gold bearing. He's scamming us into thinking he hit a good spot @ American Falls near the docks and bridge. Not true. Just micron flour gold - nothing like he has in the video. Don't believe what he says.
He got lucky in his dreams only, and definitely not on the Snake. This is pure fiction, don't believe a word of it. Just to make sure I went to his 'location' and panned it. Nope. No course gold here at all. Just 2 micron particles from 5 pans at the dock and there is no access under the bridge(fenced off). He has never been to this location IMO. Fake 100%
Looks awesome bud
Nice work! ✨️⛏️👍🏻
Keep 'em coming Amigo
Good vid
I was always told gold was to.thin on the snake , would actually float.
It's very small, micron gold. And yes, it will float because it's so tiny - it gets caught on top of the water tension. Most pans will show no color at all, but a lucky pan might show 5 or 6 tiny specs. No flakes or pickers in my experience panning the Snake....
So were you high banking or just panning or was there somewhere to set up a sluice Box I'm over here in Mountain Home Idaho and I also am a RUclips gold prospector cool man it looks like you guys had a great trip
No, First we were west of American Falls Idaho.
Next, only used Fossickers Pyramid Pro Pan and a shovel.
If you know the area of BLM land Pipeline Campground.
There us concrete boat dock there.
Can't use a probe or Mine Lab detector. Too much rebar in concrete.
5 days total at boat dock.
3 days total at BLM land under a bridge. I'll let you find the location on the Snake River.
Back breaking work.
Just shovel in a few load in Pan. Work Pan, keep shoveling.
I Finally just kept shoveling. No clean out until the end of the day.
Less than half a cup of "Cons ".
I don't understand why some insist there isn't good gold in the Snake.
After 9 days, I've pulled out 128.3 grams.
Taking tomorrow and Sunday off.
Back needs recuperation.
@@ukpiktonraq9811 I've found gold on the snake several times. But never any chunky stuff. I'll have to check it out thanks brother
Well, you lost me in the first 20 seconds talking about your politics...meh.
@@loniwulff1151 ya, you weren't supposed to be here.bye
@@loniwulff1151you need some purple haired prospecting tips.
I'm over in PA and can only dream of getting gold like that but dream of Idaho plenty. I do have a Pyramid Pro but havnt used it much other than trying it out. I do love my classic estwig pan and I heap it high and never classify. I do love finding crevices that are lined in clay and I'll break out that thing to break that clay down vs my fingers next time. 😁
Pa myself...usually go down NC lol
Do you prospect in Pa I'm retired now and I'm thinking of doing this for a hobby.
@@williamjohnston4192 there are some spots but you aren't finding much lol
@@Pa.PatriotProspecting I'm not finding anything because I haven't tried it yet I'm considering it for a hobby. But thanks for the reply
@William Johnston i was saying you won't be finding much, because theirs not alot here
We all would enjoy watching the weight in
I just started watching these kind of videos this week. This seems like a pretty cool thing to do. I don't have any equipment or any idea if there's places to go near me
Not too expensive to get started. You say no where to go.
You'd be surprised how much gold has been moved around by man and equipment in the past 150 years.
Think about it. Roads for instance, where do the beds come from?
A lot of it is river rock and sand. This moves whatever was in a location to another.
Heard of a small area in south Florida. After working on the A1A , now known as I-75, or Alligator alley.
Someone took a minelab metal detector , and just playing around the dump areas where dirt and sand was dumped for the building of the new expansion of the highway. They got hits. Multiple hits.
Got permission to setup a small highbanker. Worked the area for about 4 days. Ended up, he and his wife found 44.7 grams of 18k gold. A lot of gemstones and about 14+ grams of silver.
You just don’t know unless you look.
With dump trucks, moving across the nation, minerals are constantly being moved around.
I'll give you another, at your local Home Depot, they sell play sand for kids parks.
Many people have found good color in those 50 lbs bags.
See, if you research, you probably are closer than you think.
Im headed there today , going to video tape and call this out. Cheers
We're did you get the blue hose to the pump, thanks
Nice job!!!
Howdy! Do you have the regulations for prospecting in Idaho? OR anything different on BLM land? Thank you in advance and God bless you sir!
Awesome channel! New subscriber!
That does not look like Snake River Gold whatsoever just saying
Definitely not Snake River gold. NFW
Cheers!
Hey James, what do you classify down to use with this sluice?
Just a simple kitchen flour screen.
I'm old school, and don't buy expensive classifying screens. Just use whats around the home.
An old fashioned flour screen works great.
Well I’m at the right channel lol,new sub here nice to see yea.
I see DREAM MAT.!!! 😉😁👍
I've found gold in Washington around Wenatchee that's 22 carat gold
A pre 1982 Lincoln cent weighs 3.1 grams. All this gold takes up much more space than a penny. And obviously weighs much more than that.
Idaho is far from the only state that produces 24k. The state that I'm in north Georgia produces 98%pure you can look that up it is some of the purest gold in the world
Nice job
I grew up on the snake never seen gold other than micro stuff
Mother in law has the snake river in her back yard. Lives outside Nissa Oregon.
Hook me up Keith let's go get us some gold
Where about on the snake river?
Yes, it's fake. I visited the area today - no chance he got 3+ ounces @ American Falls. He he panned near the docks and under the bridge. Well there is no access under the bridge at the waterline - it's all fenced off all around the perimeter with hazard signs. There is a small brook running parallel to the Snake on the south side, but four pans says it's barren. Area around the dock produced 2 micron specks from 5 pans. He said he was working the mud, but there is no mud anywhere near the waterline at this time of year(late July). I was thinking maybe the gold he got was residual runoff from the Fort Hall Bottoms, but the dam has altered the water course for and it's unlikely gold accumulates in any meaningful way near the docks. The gold I found was caused by the waves hitting the shoreline - you can see the line of black sands at the surface. Flour gold sccumulates in this. I'll return in the fall when the water level recedes a few feet. Not expecting much of a change. The gold he shows in the video absolutely did not come from the location he specified. Click bait....
I love prospecting too and they call me the Asian hillbilly. 😊
I'm interested in the pyramid
That is freakin unbelievable I can’t find crap here in Texas yet keyword yet I will sniff it out lol.
Snake river? Awfully coarse.
That’s what I’m saying I’m calling horse 💩
Ditto
My cousin spent a lot of time up there in Petersburg I think and the tribes were very welcoming to her, and my son got into sweat lodge, Native American church and Sundance and also studied with some of the S. American tribes and learned how to prepare ayahuasca and San Pedro and know who to speak to about the sacrament used in the N.A.C. peyote and is trying to use natural medicines to heal his body since his Drs in Oregon took away the meds prescribed in Hawaii....and it's dangerous and sometimes deadly to do that...but his dr was a meth head/dealer before he finished his schooling...my son thinks he has plenty of dr friends to write whatever he needed or needs whenever he desires then treats my son like a drug seeking addict who never had 10 years of sobriety before he broke his back on Maui, attempting to save a young man from drowning he lifted well over a ton and it has left him sooo broken, he does everything he can but if he works his but off for a week he can hardly get out of bed for a month unless he gets extra pain meds and adderal so his body doesn't shut down on him and tries to sleep either a few hours a painful, nightmarish sleep, or 16 hours where he gets' up after 8 has coffee takes his heart and blood pressure meds and he's out again...drives him crazy, cause he loves geology, prospecting, smelting and refining although the snake don't seem to need purification....anyways thanks a million for what you shared and he is going to order one of those pyramid submerged clay breaker and nugget collector.....God bless and if ya ever wanna go back to the snake, oh shoot, your coming from the S.E. and we are NW Oregon....but he is a hard worker even though he's busted all to hell he surprises me, but it's hard to watch him recover after doing all he can...thanks a million and if you. ever want help please call us at 503-939-2731 my wife Cindy's number, and tell her it's about the Snake river vids or if you can reach my son his number is 808-298-9207 but due to his nearly getting beat to death with a hatchet and a year later with a 2x2 his traumatic brain injury is just letting him communicate better now. that some healing has taken place.... or dear ol' dad just say you are the man who did so well on the Snake river and maybe we can have twice the work and 4x's the take....who knows, either way thanks a million for sharing. God bless
Hello I'm new subscriber I'm interested in making prospecting my retirement hobby can you make a video working the clay
With you pyramid pro
Well I am Deplorable too. And let us not forget A MAGA Far right Extremists and proud of it, Idaho is my home
georgia produces 98.5 percent pure gold...
Would you be willing to email me Sir?
I’m looking to take a trip out that way soon to around this location and would like some tips.
Thank you.
Don't waste your time and money. He's the real deal....
Real Deal B/S
That pyramid is only thing you used to find that gold? Hmm… 😊
🤜🤛🙏🙏💯🙏😁👍👍
Vermont gold is 22k-24k
Georgia puts out 24ct gold
Up here in Canada, im considered to have unexceptable views,haha!
that's not fine gold at all great clean up!!!
This is fake
i live right on the Snake by the old Spring Town. i think this guy brought this gold from Alaska. Just flower gold here on the Snake.
So true. The gold he shows did not come from the Snake, that's a fact. This video is pure fiction...
Mine broke right away
Fake!!!
Straight up how dumb he think we are
Yes, fake. Shame on him. I went there to confirm or deny. Big D. His gold did not come from this location. The gold here is micron size and very, very sparsely distributed.
With as many uhms, uhs, pauses and tripping over your words, you gotta start editing out your videos. Edit all of that out and it will make watching your videos much more pleasant to watch
I like listening to this fellows voice in the video, umm (and even ahh ahh like Obama) are not too bad because what is worst for me is when people say "you know" or "ya know" over and over repetitively in a conversation which is really annoying and drives me nuts.

And dude you are way off that is all and and I think more than a half ounce just in that thing alone
You are dead wrong on the precent of gold.
All states produce 24 karat gold. Some states may have mercury attached to the gold, bit it is still 24 karat Gold.
Stop your lying to people!!!
All you want is followers and most miners like myself know the true facts straight.
Miners like myself, get the real facts from Geologist.
I'm definitely a deplorable redneck I just found your channel and I'm in Missouri and I'm preparing for the spring to start sluicing. I don't know anything but I'm looking forward to it 😂
All I want to do is watch a gold video! But no you start with politics lol good bye plenty of other tubers getting gold without a speal
Hey Jamie. Erik. Here.Good to meet you. We are rednecks too 😂😂😂. North Fork, Idaho. Me and my wife want to pan for gold there at The Snake River. What is time of year. Do you go there to pan. Can't wait to try the fosssticker prymid pan. Your video is grest. We are beginners. Like to meet you. Thank you for such a great Video !! 🤗🤗🌞🌞
Great vid! New prospector here. Would like to send you an email with some questions, how do I get a hold of you?
I am living in Pocatello can you tell me where I can get pyramid pro I'd like to contact you personally so that next time you go out I would like to accompany you and get me a decent education I'm a 68-year-old redneck and I need something to supplement myself security and it doesn't require me to bunch of clock because of some health concerns I have how do I contact you or you contact me I know your truck driver but only your days off and thank you very much you may have solved a great deal of my problem and your Doug is really cute
