Not sure where you are in Michigan? I am from Grand Rapids and have found gold in most streams and rivers.
Gold nuggets have been found on Maple creek where it meets the grand river in Lowell. Great video my friend.
Good to see a fellow Michigander posting successful hunting. I’m over here just north of the Muskegon area. I’m planning on panning some creeks this summer. Maybe take a panning kayak trip for a weekend someplace. Good luck. 👍
@woody batter I have a couple of kayak trips I would like to take this year. I’ve kayaked them before, but never tested them. Next time I kayak them, you can bet I will have a pan and shovel with me. 😉
Silver Sleuth every year we have a family tubing trip (oh God how I dread it) on the Muskegon River and there is a n island half hour into it that’s all gravel. But being a family trip I don’t have the chance to do anything there. Not to mention the million partiers right there. But this year I’m bringing my mega magnet and rope. And a trash bag. I don’t know how this will go with the whole wretched Gretchen thing going on, maybe a go-pro cam is in my near future.
@woody batter I’ve kayaked the Muskegon river. We put in at the landing above newaygo and kayaked to newaygo. There was an island 1 - 2 hours down from the launch that was all stones. We stopped there for a break/refreshments. I didn’t have a pan with me. 😞
The Newaygo brewing company has really good food. Their brochetta appetizer is delicious!
So do I , what a small world
I'm in Arizona often I say "Having fun can be a lot of hard work ". Digging in the desert and mountains up North. 🤠👍🌵
Took Halo out prospecting in the cold today checking out a new spot. Wasn’t expecting to find anything, but you never know. Lots of walking for 1 speck......and I mean speck of gold. It’s the size of a pin head.
There’s actually lots of nuggets in Michigan. Idk why people say there’s not. Found nuggets in Lake Superior. Found nuggets in Huron River. Clinton River. Marquette. Mt. Pleasant.
Great set up. Lot's of cool rocks and SHINY! The video quality is really good, keep up the great work, and thanks for taking us along!
Thanks Paul! Hope to get out again soon!
So interesting, Thankyou for taking me with you,. Beautiful Michigan☺️
Thanks for watching my video!
Even though there are no large gold nugget’s, there is the occasional Garnet’s and agates
Thank you for sharing!
Truly enjoyed watching your channel love to see prospecting, and seeing some gold if its just one piece, it gives hope to everyone, me included next time I'm in the creek.....
Gary n Doris Lawson thanks for the comment! I was walking my dog and found this creek. I saw the rocks in the water and thought.....I wonder if there is gold in it. Came back with a pan and found gold!!!
Where did you get your sluice?! Now seems like the perfect time to pick up the hobby. I'm in metro Detroit and have always wanted to walk down to the rouge River and try this out.
I’ve had my sluice for almost 20 years. I have a link for amazon for the one I have in the description.
I would get the new super sluice they have out now for a little bit more. With the super sluice, you don’t have to classify, but it takes a lot more water.
Great job buddy 👏 new to your channel
What's the significance of the black sand?
You will always find black sand where you find gold. But.....you won’t always find gold where you find black sand. If you find black sand, there is a good chance you will find gold.
It's heavier material, and on the small side. good chance of finding gold with it.
Thought you were going to run some Lake Michigan black beach sand!
get under the clay to the dark soil there is the gold !
What’s your opinion on the v of water running past the indicator???
@J Dasko I liked this set up. It took a while to get it to set up and the material flowing through it like I wanted. I only have an inch of water in the sluice. However.....one thing I have noticed after the v, there is a dead spot in the sluice where the material doesn’t clear out very well. Funneling the water into the sluice creates a disturbance after the v. It’s like 2 rivers coming together and you have the slack water in between them.
You must be in lower Michigan I live in northern Michigan hope to run into you sometime panning on the river
Way down south(Allegan County). I’m wanting to do a lot of exploring this year. We need this stay at home order to be lifted so we can get out and about. Hope you find something shiny in your pan!
@@SilverSleuth I agree I'm pretty much going out of my mind I'm up in Traverse City we have some good rivers around maybe we can hook up some day
Quest 2 Wells we will have to see if we can make that happen. Do you metal detect? Ever work the black sand at the beaches?
@@SilverSleuth yes Grand Traverse Bay we have big streams of black sand I'm just not real good at getting it separated
I'm in Oakland county and thinking about trying my hand at some
Your loosing gold man you need some jet dry
