  • WOW! Did not expect that much! Had a great day with my buddy REG gold panning on the Fraser river. Last year's floods obviously deposited more gold up high on the bar, as we found way more gold than expected t this spot. Check out our adventures in gold panning.

    This is a textbook example of how important it is to test layers and lines. As Dan shows here, sometimes the top inch is the only layer that is loaded with gold. Regardless, that is some fine Fraser River gold!

      @Alondro77 Год назад +3

      I'm carefully surveying a meltwater channel from an ancient glacial moraine. The layering is AGONIZINGLY complicated. Mixed up glacial material, then the various layers from melting and rains creating different meanders, along with differences in hardness of the clay underneath. You find tremendous variations in the gravel-sand layers just inches apart.

So, now I need to find out how that channel twists and turns its way down the side of the little valley the meltwater made 10,000 years ago.

    I love watching these videos when I'm home alone on Sunday mornings.
    I'm not one who *has* to see gold to enjoy videos, but when y'all hit it the excitement comes through.
    I've been waiting to see the crazy amount of gold from the floods since they happened. Cannot wait to see the lower bar has.
    I would have loved to see something like a single handful of surface stuff panned out just to see how much is in it.

    As the mom of a redhead, I don't know how you stay out in the sun that long. You must be reapplying heavy duty sunscreen every hour to not get fried. I'm so glad that you're taking care to not get burned! That could be a real issue if you're a redhead. Her dad has already had melanoma five times so please please reapply often! The hat is an essential part of protection so good job. I love your videos and your outlook on life. It's so refreshing to watch you and your endless optimism. So much fun! Thanks for being you!:-)
