"Yay! Gold! Yay!" "How much is it worth?" "20 pence." LOLOLOL! The look on his face was priceless. Oh my goodness, what fun. Never mind, you've only just begun. There'll be more color in the pan, but always remember, the truest treasure is time spent with friends. Looking forward to the next. Love, from the U.S.
Laughed at your friend's laments re bugs, ticks, etc., and your awesome jig, lol. Interesting and fun video, cool gold hunting outting. You're rich in fun dancing, singing friends and experiences. 😎👍
I’m late commenting today.. in all My 30 years of camping I have never seen A fire started with Pringle’s 🤣😂🤣. Enjoyed seeing you try something new 👍🏻✌🏼👊🏼❤️ Sean’s singing and guitar playing is really great touch to the video .
*Can't wait for Part II👍* Part I was filled with riches... Sean's bus conversion & excellent guitar work plus Si's TikTok worthy gold dance! Kindly 🧡👍Dudley
What an awesome adventure mate we’ll done on the gold! I’m definitely gunna have to head to the hills and find some Scottish Gold! Can’t believe you got washed away 😂 and what an epic camper 👌
I am in love with Sean's bus conversion! Very original layout. I will have to rewatch again after I'm finished the video. I have watched thousands of conversions in preparations of retirement. Still not sure I want a conversion or something ready to go but I love his !
Sean's bus is gorgeous! I love it. Stu is a funny bugger. Good friends Si, for a good bloke. Haha, when you said nature at its best, I thought you meant the butterfly, then you showed Stu. Wishing your family member well, Stu. I absolutely love camping in the rain. Hope you are taking the garnets. Fun fact, the names on the Ginger beer bottle, my Dad and his family grew up on Sleaford Terrace in Port Lincoln, south Australia, then my Dad moved to Spalding, south Australia where he met my mum, married and had myself and my brothers. So cool.
So interesting. Beautiful Scotland. Would love some of those pebbles for me garden! “Luck in the Creek!” 😂 Butterflies bring good luck. Oh Simon! Garnets! 😍 The gold flake shuffle 🕺💦 boys will be boys 😆☕️🍻
I did some gold panning when I first arrived here in Australia nearly 50yrs ago from London, and loved it. You did well, look at all those beautiful tiny Garnets you found. You had a laugh, camping with a twist. 🇦🇺
Well Si, there's always mudlarking...and at least you hear the water sneaking up on you. You can add to your repertoire of experiences! Gold is great, but you can't beat a trip with good friends, homemade music, and gorgeous scenery.
Thar’s gold in them that hill, guys! Hope you find lots. Oh, you had going when you picked up the Mica. Gold and garnets. Maybe you get enough to make a piece of jewelry. Lol, loved the victory dance. Oh no! Awful that you lost some equipment. But it was an great video.
Great video Si, it's amazing how finding tiny specks of yellow stuff can turn grown men into children. In Australia, ounces are just lying on the surface waiting to be found. 'Always wash your flaps', some great advice! Cheers pal
@@Sifinds 2 great shows. I'm with you in moving to Australia, everytime i watch Aussie gold hunters i think the same thing. Too hot though, i'm Scottish ffs!
Exciting video...great filming, guys! Looks like fun...whooooeeee...gold! Great tents and the fun you guys get to have makes me laugh...thank you, loves! Go team!
@@Sifinds Thought you might be thinking of Webby. Hope you did find lots more gold. Can hardly wait till next video, though it looks like you had your share of troubles, too.
@@Sifinds You should leave the panning and mining to others and look for the things that the ancients did with the gold, bricks, anchors, fishing weights and crowns. ruclips.net/video/xWLA4y4s1Dk/видео.html&ab_channel=RubinSchmidt ruclips.net/video/HfqIcpdh1Iw/видео.html&ab_channel=RubinSchmidt !!!
Hi Si, can’t say you all didn’t find some gold. Interesting to watch. Great filming. You all look like your enjoying yourselves. The bus looks cool. Till next time, take care. Joyce 🇺🇸 ❤️. 🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶guitar music works.🎼🎵🎶
Very cool! Here in East Tennessee we have lots of flour gold but every now and then we can find a small picker. Gold fever is contagious and the only cure it to find more! Lol
@@Sifinds was out panning just 2 weeks ago and came home with 0.23g. Doesn't sound like much but it's all tiny so I am really chuffed. I do love just being out on the water too, even if no gold comes out that day it's worth it just to be out. 😁
Blooming heck, I'm Scottish and now live in England, and I love garnets, I wish I knew I could go find them in a loch!! Or river whatever you want to call it!!
A dream come true! Gold, gold, gold!! 🤎 Looks like you had a fab time!! Well done, all 'round - especially on the dancing! 🤣 - best wishes for Stu & family 🌼 hello from Denmark 🌸🌱
What a wonderful entertaining and informative video. Loved every minute. Learned about panning for gold, dancing and the pitfalls of camping in the rain. I loved that you found those lovely garnets. I hope you kept them all. I would love to find some. Looking forward to the next one. Have a great week and please keep safe.
@@Sifinds I have a hunt camp in or near Bancroft Ontario, the mineral capitol of Canada. You guys would have great success in that neck of the woods. Bugs and bears are all you have to worry about.
I noticed something. I live in New England and when I was a teenager I used to look through the rivers in Northern New Hampshire(which is the state where I live) for minerals like ( semiprecious stones) Smokey Quartz etc. but I found allot of garnets just like you found. Same colours and sizes.I find that quite interesting. I've also panned for gold. You just need patience! Really cool video. Thank you for taking us with you!
Wow what an awesome weekend with friends. The garnets are amazing. So glad you found some gold. Love your 3 second tent. We have garnets here in USA, along with the small gold pieces. Looks like you had an amazing few days.
Simon, Your videos Never disappoint and this one is no exception. The location reminds me of our local creeks here in California and coming from a family of successful gold miners, I really Enjoy the subject of this video and last but not least, You always choose the Best Mates for all of your Adventures. They are diverse in character, Adventurous, Intelligent and some are a little or a lot Humorous, much like you, Simon. Luck in the creek muck to you all. That butterfly blended in, looking like a wild mushroom. : ) Good eye, spotting that Mica. (My late Uncle taught me to put a dab of spit on my finger and touch it to the surface of the water, breaking the surface tension, sinking the floating flower gold, which can be significant. When people pan at home, they use jet dry, but a "Bit of Spit" will do fine while panning the creeks, nature's giant sluice box.) (For a homemade snuffer bottle, use the container from a Hair Dye Kit. Modify with a tube or piece of plastic straw.) Nice Gold Flake jig, can't wait for your Big Gold Dance at the conclusion. Cool Geetar pickin', Sean. Loved the Gold Panning song you both wrote. Words Please? Looking forward to the next segment of this Gold Adventure. Glad Stu's Family is fine. : )
Woah that was epic!!! I'm dancing in my heart too Si! Amazing! ❤️😍❤️ And Sean's bus is my dream home, I want one!!! Can't wait for next week, make sure to include more footage of you skinny dipping please 😘
I loved this video Si, it looked like you all had a brilliant time, (glad to hear everythings ok with Stu). The music, the picturesque camera shots, the banter, the dancing, and gold! Cannot wait for part 2. 💛
I like the song and like the camper truck. I would be happy with the garnets. Look for agates out there. Also, petrified wood if you have that there. Looks like an all around good time.
Awesome adventure with the lads! Who would have guessed the rivers here in Scotland are hoaching with gold and garnets! ;) We should start gold panning... Nicole & Craig
loved watching this. gutted you lost your sluice. maybe they can get you another one for another video. you guys and your singing and dancing are the new pans people! lol
🇨🇦 Interesting how different people have slightly different ways to pan gold. Also how the concentrates are different from location to location. The garnets here on the North Saskatchewan River are pretty much pink sand and the gold closer to Edmonton is dust and the closer to the mountains you get the bigger the gold gets. Makes sense I guess. The one indicator here for panning for gold is black sand called magnetite. It is basically iron flakes. Super fun to play with using a magnet. 🤪😁 Love those faceted garnets. I hope to go somewhere someday where I can pan for garnets. I also find the suction tube idea intriguing. I may have to try that.
fantastic trip outta the city and into the world of gold . i'm inspired ! Scotland looks like Canada, at least my part of Canada. I've been fooled by fool's gold too. all part of the fun. great discovering, good friends. lovely
Hi Si! Been waiting for this vid and it's well worth the wait. Really enjoyed part 1. Great to see you out in the beautiful wilds of Scotland for a change from the Thames. Looking forward to part 2 - hope you found a few nuggets!! Take care.
Si Finds, you old gold digger you! And a gold dance that should go viral! There is a creek that borders my property and years back some friends found some flakes. They were experienced planners and each found a dozen flakes or so. Tiny yes but fun. I suppose I should get me self a pan. Lots of quarts and mica as well in my area. And as always, you’ve inspired me. So Kind Thanks Simon to you and your mates! Gold in your hand by sifting the sand! Safe Travels and Joy in you Journeys! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
This along with a dozen other things is on my bucket list! Just turned 60 and cannot wait for the uk summer. Im on the border almost with scotland and not far from the pennines, after my first gold this year, but with he added twist I need enough for an Emerald ring am even off to Bogata for the emerald!! reat inspirational video. 100% for the Dance.
Part one is real good set up for part two's drama and action! (this is what reality TV show are trying to do) I enjoy following you around as you travel around doing things I would like to do too. My closest thing is going to the lava beds and getting obsidian, agate.We do find arrow points, and a buddy of mine found a carved stone owl atlatl(spear thrower) weight down along the Snake river by Hells Canyon in Oregon.
We use a dry washer in the desert, as there is no running water. It is one dusty mess. Of course we pan the concentrates in water. You have slim pickings there. Still fun camping eh?
Is there anything more endearing than an Englishman saying "In my heart, I'm dancing" 😊💕
"Yay! Gold! Yay!" "How much is it worth?" "20 pence." LOLOLOL! The look on his face was priceless. Oh my goodness, what fun. Never mind, you've only just begun. There'll be more color in the pan, but always remember, the truest treasure is time spent with friends. Looking forward to the next. Love, from the U.S.
Cheers Connie. Yes laughter is priceless
Time spent with friends is priceless indeed 👍🏻😊
Thanks for watching Mudlovers. To see more river antics in PART TWO > ruclips.net/video/2hyGHYSTDBg/видео.html
Here in California, so many people had "gold fever" back in the day. It's easy to see why when you find it. You want to keep going....
they are called burns not creeks .;...not panning you :)
Yessss! Was waiting on this video. Comfy chair: check... drink: check!
Am watching now 😊
Cool song!!! Love it ♥️
Finding gold makes you feel rich 👍🏻
“Let me just clean my tobacco and weed away!”
Lol 🤣🤣
Laughed at your friend's laments re bugs, ticks, etc., and your awesome jig, lol. Interesting and fun video, cool gold hunting outting. You're rich in fun dancing, singing friends and experiences. 😎👍
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻🐾🧡
I just love u and ur mates. Too fun to watch. With all the dancing, the boys might have to start doing the full Monty...😉🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha. I can leave my hat on 😉
Oh, Si. Your antics with the snuffer bottle will delight moms of little boys everywhere! ha ha ha!
Haha!!
Theres a public panning river on Anglesey closer than Scotland for you Londoners
B L
Why is that?
B L
That's a very good reason indeed 👍🏻
Favorite part of the entire video - 33:45!
Love the song as well 🖤🖤
Haha! Thanks x
Nice song, well done. Great video I enjoyed watching your video. Stay safe and well 🙏🥰🥰👏👏👍👍👍
Cheers Chris 👍🏻🧡🧡

Cheers dude. Yes spend a week up there. Keep a look out for my sluice and gold pan 😂🤟🏻
@@Sifinds That would be so cool if I can find it 🤣 hopefully you left some gold in it for me ;)
I am in love with Sean's bus conversion! Very original layout. I will have to rewatch again after I'm finished the video. I have watched thousands of conversions in preparations of retirement. Still not sure I want a conversion or something ready to go but I love his !
Yes it’s brilliant. Plenty of height to, it’s like a living room
Love the humour and the dancing, not sure its worth it for the gold, but I love gold. More dancing please so funny !
Cheers Kath
Lovely bus conversion, great vid Si!
Cheers Sophie 👍🏻🐾🧡
What a great video!! Loved every minute of the adventure! The little bits of gold you found and the hilarious jokes! Thanks Si! I’m still laughing!
Thanks Amy! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Gold is worth a fortune but that dance is priceless Si!
Haha thanks
Sean's bus is gorgeous! I love it. Stu is a funny bugger. Good friends Si, for a good bloke. Haha, when you said nature at its best, I thought you meant the butterfly, then you showed Stu.

Lovely song 🎵 what fine memories your making and finding gold too boot!
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. I don't have the patience .[grin].
Si dancing over his first flake, was the most adorable thing I have seen in a very long time..
Had to be done. Haha
it was part russian cossack too
@@Sifinds it was a complete must... everyone MUST jig when they find a flake.
I did some gold panning when I first arrived here in Australia nearly 50yrs ago from London, and loved it. You did well, look at all those beautiful tiny Garnets you found. You had a laugh, camping with a twist. 🇦🇺
We certainly did. Cheers Liz
I love Stu! Lol, looking at the birds? You guys have too much fun!
😉
You are a patient man Si. Very interesting video.
Well Si, there's always mudlarking...and at least you hear the water sneaking up on you.
You can add to your repertoire of experiences!
Gold is great, but you can't beat a trip with good friends, homemade music, and gorgeous scenery.
Ah we loved it. Makes a change from London and it’s all about being in nature, camping, laughing and trying something new 👍🏻
Great song, plus it is good to see you having a bit of fun as well. Glad Stu's family member is ok as well!
Thanks Melody x
Great adventure Si.
Thx for video!!
Cheers Tom!
Congrats on your gold finds, looks like fun. Thanks Si.
It was! Thanks 👍🏻🐾🧡
Y’all are so funny! Thanks for the entertainment!
Cheers Debra
Observing your technique! I'll be panning in Alaska later this week.
Ah wow! So lucky!!!! Please let me know how you get on! I recommend going with someone that has some experience to save you some time.
That was more fun than I thought it would be , I quite fancy giving it a go thanks for the video
Thanks !
Thar’s gold in them that hill, guys! Hope you find lots. Oh, you had going when you picked up the Mica. Gold and garnets. Maybe you get enough to make a piece of jewelry. Lol, loved the victory dance. Oh no! Awful that you lost some equipment. But it was an great video.

The tent competition !! LOL So happy for you that you found gold. Can't wait until part II!
😂 thanks Amie 👍🏻🐾🧡
Thoroughly enjoyed your video, you have beautiful film shots, esp. with the rain. Thank you for making this!
My pleasure

Yeah I know. I watch Aussie gold hunters from time to time. And Terry introduced me to Opal hunters! I’m moving to Aus! 😂
@@Sifinds 2 great shows. I'm with you in moving to Australia, everytime i watch Aussie gold hunters i think the same thing. Too hot though, i'm Scottish ffs!
@@UltimateCastGuides thanks for clarifying I thought you were Australian. Right, when do we emigrate? Lol
@@Sifinds front door is always open :) bring your sunscreen. You’ll need it lol
@@Sifinds Lol, I'm ready get me out of this hellhole.

Hi Lara!
Good on you, Si! John Webb would be proud of you for getting out in Scotland with your mates, finding GOLD.
Ah thanks mate. Loved that comment. We talked about him on the way up. I was thinking of him 👍🏻
@@Sifinds Thought you might be thinking of Webby. Hope you did find lots more gold. Can hardly wait till next video, though it looks like you had your share of troubles, too.

An interesting video,
I loved the 'Mystery Machine' bus 🚌 lol...😀👍
Loved that tube thing, never seen that being used before. Great fun to watch. That rock looked like a giant potato
Yes they’re wicked. River potato lol
I can't wait to show you some gold Simon 💛thanks for sharing my friend's
Nice one Billie 👍🏻🐾🧡
That was a lovely change of pace Si. Wonderfully edited too. Congrats on your success hunting the shiny stuff! :)
Thanks John 💪🏻
Very cool! Here in East Tennessee we have lots of flour gold but every now and then we can find a small picker. Gold fever is contagious and the only cure it to find more! Lol
Haha! I want to go back
My favourite hobby, been panning for a few years now. Gold fever is real 😁.
Ooh have you found much? Or doing it for the love of the head space?
@@Sifinds was out panning just 2 weeks ago and came home with 0.23g. Doesn't sound like much but it's all tiny so I am really chuffed. I do love just being out on the water too, even if no gold comes out that day it's worth it just to be out. 😁
@@scottishgirloutdoors2662 Yes exactly. Being in the great outdoors
That van is Amazing ! I love it it's Wicked 😊

Making memories 👍🇮🇪
Great fun Si looking forward to the next instalment. Wonder how many Scots shouted "it's a Burn not a creek" LOL
