  • Two years ago I found this Illegal ground sluice built into the bedrock of my dream claim. I cleaned it out of all it's gold. and then left it for two years. I come back to the illegal ground sluice in this video to see what I can find, legally sluicing for gold.

    I can't believe it has been two years since you found that ground sluice. The older we get the quicker time flies by.

      Yeah, kinda like it’s interesting seeing a river sluice installed on the rock? Hmm kinda like you don’t see this everyday? Hmm I wonder if it would be Neat to keep in place to show future generations because well it’s not hurting anything, but you’ll be removing history by removing it for what your queen? Lame 😕

    Dan, I don’t have much interest in gold prospecting, but I watch because of your personality, knowledge, explanations, and care for the rules and environment makes it entertaining.
    The roar of the river near you is just a bonus.
    You definitely earned a subscription here.

      Agreed. I'm more of a rockhound, but Dan has such a likeable personality. Pure positivity. Same can be said about Pioneer Pauly. He never fails to crack me up.

    • @GOLD_FEVER
      @GOLD_FEVER 9 месяцев назад

      The river floods every year washing LITERAL TONS OF SILT down it and the fish do JUST FINE.
      These laws are made by ignorant propogandists on a power trip.
      Small scale mining like Dan is doing has 0 effect on the environment, if anything he collects LEAD FROM the river and helps with removing mercury that is trapped on the bottom of the river and can ONLY be taken out by mining !
      Sorry for the rant, it's just when the general public takes these laws at face value and innocently believes that the government is doing ANYTHING to protect the environment by controlling mining it ticks me off and i want to inform.

    Oh, I'm so sad, I was just admiring your beautiful, foggy morning! Our fires in Oregon were not so bad this year, the sun only turned red a couple times. Fun to be back in this spot, I was fascinated by your earlier videos about the sluice. Good luck, and I ALWAYS enjoy!

    Lots of luck to you Dan, sorry to see the devastation of the fires. We are heading into summer here in OZ, Victoria is known for the bushfires as well. I'm glad you found some shiney, thats a good take compared to what I find locally, I have a 2 hour + drive to get to decent ground. So I bought 1 of your Xmas paydirt bags, even with the exchange rate, its still cheaper than fuel and travel! 😊

    Hello Dan! I have been watching your content on and off for a few years now.
    I hope the wildfires clear up soon. I live in Ontario, and there were wildfires in the neighbouring province of Quebec (as you may have heard). The air quality was so poor that at times I would have trouble breathing. I can't imagine how bad it must be.
    Good luck!

    It’s great that you explain how you follow the rules. Even for people like myself under a completely different set of rules, it helps guide us as to how we should find the local laws, but also how we can act to mine in a way that protects the environment above the local law.

    I would love to see a video where you go back over the times you bent the rules a little and got a talking to. You want to be transparent and in the vein of other channels doing "correction" videos it would be really interesting to see. Don't you have a friend/contact in the ministry? Maybe have him on as a guest for an interview and have him explain what you did wrong and how they adjudicate these kinds of things. Really, though, your dedication to doing things the right way is admirable, even if it's in part because you have so many eyes on you.
