great build sonny Jim.......hope you got a nugget trap on that Trommel didn't see one on the back.......that is what we are talking about ....cool miners pick and a shoe to boot hahahahah nice pan of Shiney there my friend ....with that additional 270 excavator you will need a bigger Trommel hahaha great memories right there...love the shot of the Black Bears at the end
Ask Jeff Williams Didn’t have much of a nugget trap no, I had a boil box on the second sluice that I added. Planning on going back next season with a bigger operation. Will make sure I have a defector next time as well! Memories for a lifetime! Hard to match the excitement back home after living the miner life up north. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Amazing jeff commented! Hey where are you mining? I found an amazing creek in west nippising and also a couple rough diamonds. Ive literally been doing what you guys are without knowing people do that lol. Building. Digging looking! I need more man power though. No young guys want to work these days! Except my 11yr old son. That boy shoveled 6 yrds with only a drink inbetween. All on his own. 😅
That was a great first season !! Finding that old stuff is pretty cool !! I was working a claim back in the late 80's out in Hixon and we found rock carvings of people feet. One was broken from the hoe, but the other one was in perfect shape and in perfect balance when you set it on a level surface. What you are doing now is exactly what I am going to try this year myself out back of the Bowron area
So, by doing so much of this with your own hands, did you come out ahead or at least break even? This is one hell of a setup and you did one hell of a job getting everything into place! Much respect man.
I have a family member with a claim right near this one. They got well over 150oz in the 80’s outa this area. I saw some pretty big fist sized nuggets.
That's some serious small scale mining with lots of gold, nice surroundings and nice and professional build wash plant, hope to see more vids in the near future. Starting up my own project soon, sending in environment application this month. Cheers from a miner living in Sweden mining Northern Finland👍
Wow great operation!! my dad and I have been dredging in southern Oregon and Northern California with our pro line 5 inch for about eight years now!! Love mining. Congratulations.
Cool ... My Cousin and I have Gold-Claim's up in that area... I recognized the Wooden Bridge... I know DAN and a few other Miners... I just got back from 2 months of metal Detecting Southern Nevada USA... Hoping to get Up there N-BC later this Summer... I'm from ALBERTA... keep living the DREAM
Great video. Nice fab work. I could feel your excitement as more equipment and fab work started showing up. Folks back home don’t understand it ain’t all about the money. Thanks for sharing your story.
And in 100 years the new technology of gold prospecting will increase 10 fold,, and the new miner will say, they never had this equipment back then and left behind lots,,,, as we do say now ,,, great vid, solid effort mate.. cheers from Australia
That's doubtful... in a 100 years at current rate the leftists will have totally banned all mining due to "environmental racism" and "imperalist selfish" personal ambition!
Looks like things are working great. Nice job on the trommel. love the pictures. Hope the new plant is working out with the new screens. Keep up the great work.
Dude you must be stoked, I was up in that country last fall moose hunting and seen lots of outfits. Looks like your enjoying yourself with the fish too! Ive got a similar size setup in the cariboo, a bit outside of barkerville. But not as good of fishing as seen here, damn haha! Best of luck to ya this year, we just got snow free!
1,436th thumb 👍up. Way to go get it!! Omg, The Karen's would be coming outta every tree you fell and out from under every rock you moved here in Oregon. All of a sudden, once they hear you.....here come the drones hovering over you most of the time your there. Ridiculous
Bad ass man! Love the custom work you welded up yourself, looks profesh AF! For any "environmentalists" in the comment section, reclamation after mining actually improves the environment... assuming that's at least half of the dislike ratio...
Thank you! Yes your right, the entire area had been mined twice before me, once in the 1870’s and then again in the 1930’s. But you could hardly tell with all the regrowth, and of course the old timers didn’t even bother with reclamation.
That's a lot of hard work. Have mined the Germanson from the bend to the number 7 pit at the airport , come across 3 different kinds of gold and found the gold in different types of strata. Had one test pan after the hoe opened up a hole at the entrance to Halloways bar and it weighted up a little more than 5 grams, the next day was our best day ever, we chased it for week under that nice boulder clay, then we come across where the oldtimers had creamed it, the Manson's the same way,the going gets good and then you start finding square nails and timbers, just can't believe the oldtimers mined all that by hand.
@@Anthonymoth You bet, still go up there to see friends, worked for a few outfits from 83 to 87 , pulled wrenches and ran loader and cat, keep plugging away at it ,the only problem you find up there is when you go big , you run out of ground quickly, mining underground and washing gold at the germansen pit in the winter of 85-86 was pretty cool. The rules to mine now , make it a game, only the wealthy can play.
rick szabo I bet we have the same friends, very cool that you worked in there. I heard the cleanups out of those drifts were very impressive. I agree, if I went full scale I would mine the bench I’m on in a year and be out of work. Think I’m gonna go back slightly bigger but just do it for a hobby and keep the day job. Maybe mine one month a year sort of thing.
Awesome man, I did same in Sudan desert in the up north part, we used dry filtration of soil in the bed of ancient valley used to be a path of many seasonable waterways and rivers, at some point my monthly production of gold reached one and half pure gold of high grade close to 999 :) I might be able to share a short video showing how we do that dry style :) Would you pls tell how much it cost -material wise- to make similar trommel as yours considering I can make it entirely my self! I would really appreciate if you could share with us a detailed information on the process required like how to claim and what options available! Thanks for sharing..
Brand new subscriber. Beautiful work. Where do you mine. I grew up on a mine out by Barkerville, BC. Been logging past twenty years just made the decision to get back mining. Best of luck.👍🇨🇦
I just love this video... I find it inspirational... Im in a weird place on my life and i hope to my own gold mine... Always loved gems, i worked in mine after mine... But i really want to start my own of with a few friends
I'd say prepere well, be critical about the claim do as much research as you can because no matter how hard you work, the gold in the ground will determen the outcome. Only mine the best place you can possibly find! On average ground you can go bankrupt if critical equipment breaks down once to often
I don't know much about gold mining but i do know a lot about heavy equipment and i would recommend that you get a tracked skid steer for better traction and grip
Entire disturbed area is re-contoured with fines/topsoil placed back on top and all organic Materials/trees scattered on the surface. The organic material will breakdown and new growth will start.
SlatcoAu honestly not much! The extra 20 foot sluice only caught 1% more gold then the first 10 foot sluice. Every 300 grams you would get in the first sluice, you would get around 3-4 grams in the entire second 20 foot sluice.
@@Anthonymoth Good to know. I was considering doing the same thing to my setup but I don't think the benefits outweigh the cost. Also need to leave some gold behind for the guys that will be re mining my claims in 125 yrs lol

Good stuff man. The whole time i was watching that all i could think was this bloke is living his best life! Keep it up man.
Exactly what i was thinking !
You are a "Man With A Plan" and on a mission! Well done! A pleasure to watch!

All electric excavators... *Remember when we used to burn 10's gallons of Diesel per hour?*
That's doubtful... in a 100 years at current rate the leftists will have totally banned all mining due to "environmental racism" and "imperalist selfish" personal ambition!
Looks like things are working great. Nice job on the trommel. love the pictures.
Hope the new plant is working out with the new screens.
Keep up the great work.
You must be from the island! All the vitamin “L” 😁👍🇨🇦 Living the dream bud!
Well done! I’m working towards this goal as well. Great inspiration
Love the welding skid. Living the dream, stay safe.
Too cool my friend thanks for sharing!
Thinking about trading in ya spoon yet 🤔 🍻🇳🇿.
Very Cool Awesome
Nice set up👍
Moving to South West Montana in May.
Been looking for a good claim.
Thanks for the video
Great job bud, that build was awesome.
Awesome video. That looked like a lot of great memories.
Awesome video great work on the wash plant thanks for sharing keep up the hard work
beautiful story! can't wait for more!

Sir please made more videos about place where you mine and how to know which land has more gold
You have to admire a man who makes a dream come true. Nice.
Awesome man !!! Love it
It the weather was 65 degrees F, Sunny and dry all year round with No Mosquitoes, it would perfect.

Ive seen this video several times and i always enjoy it!..sorta peaceful and fulfilling..so whats happening now? You still in the hunt?
Amazing!
Nice operation.
I have a 304 as well. I am wanting to try this out as well.
Good luck, be safe!

Awesome man. New sub here. Heavy pans!
I sandblasted with you good job man that all looks great
Nice work. Beautiful area.
Anthony, your videos are great. That trommel is a work of art. How many yards per hour are you running? Looking forward to season 2 results.
This little trommel averaged 20 YPH.
Nice job and well done. :)
Great Video......Where did you get your tromel plans? It looks great.
My own design!
That's freaking awesome man get that shiny heavy pans!!!
Looks like I saw some Jade boulders, and Carnelian agates, those are worth money too. what other type of Gemstones may be in the mix?
Just brilliant thanks for the share, fantastic ingenuity.
Hi love the video , I thus in Alaska
I don't know much about gold mining but i do know a lot about heavy equipment and i would recommend that you get a tracked skid steer for better traction and grip
Got rid of the small gear, upgraded to a rock truck and front end loader 👍🏻
did you find the rest of the old miner?
nicely done!
Awesome video,, the yield will hopefully pay for the cost of upgrades. What level of “reclamation “ is required?
Entire disturbed area is re-contoured with fines/topsoil placed back on top and all organic Materials/trees scattered on the surface. The organic material will breakdown and new growth will start.
Awesome video I have a similar biuld on the a trommel every winter I biuld or rebuild a trommel to test out
Congratulations
Nice work!
This music will make me crazy
Very good job 👏 dude god bless 🙏 keep it love from India'
The music gave me a major headache but the video was ok on mute.
nice job. how much did it start ur project
Well done bud
I really like that wash plant. I need to build one
What great progress!! Did you buy that deere with gold?! Haha.
How much improvement in recovery did you see when you added the extra 20 ft of sluice? Did it allow you to run longer between cleanups?
SlatcoAu honestly not much! The extra 20 foot sluice only caught 1% more gold then the first 10 foot sluice. Every 300 grams you would get in the first sluice, you would get around 3-4 grams in the entire second 20 foot sluice.
@@Anthonymoth Good to know. I was considering doing the same thing to my setup but I don't think the benefits outweigh the cost. Also need to leave some gold behind for the guys that will be re mining my claims in 125 yrs lol
@@Anthonymoth I suppose it is insurance if your material changes and the riffles in the first 10ft get clogged...
I would love to do that
Hello anthony, where did you get your nice claim?
Awensome ! Thank !!!
Great Video, well done!!!!Care to share your net, that is the important issue.!
Net Profit? Was just a testing operation, spent a lot and made nothing but established a grade on the ground and going back full size this season.
@@Anthonymoth May the Gold Gods smile on you!
How much did it cost to get all of that gold?
Seen this trommel on Facebook marketplace for sale.
Tax me I'm Canadian I was wondering why only 2videos
Lucky. Must be an Islander.😂
Michael Vincent haha you bet!
Question I thought I saw a bit of platinum mixed in at 8:18 in the video. Was there any?
I’m not sure what you saw in that pan but could have been some platinum, there was a fair bit of silver there though.
Did your custom machine pay itself off yet in gold
Colorado flourish excavating pretty much! Time to go bigger 😏
Did you have plans drawn up for you homemade trommel
Great set up BUT all season for 30 ounces? That’s not a lot - you should be getting way more with the setup and equipment you have in place
