Awesome gold
So glad to see you using a vacuum. One video and you have earned a sud.
@krisgalusha9820 thank you :) the vaccume is amazing, it paid itself off after only a few trips haha
Good gold filter tool, greetings from Indonesia 🤝👍👍👍
Thank you :)
Good video brother. New sub you. Great area to be finding gold.👍👍Are you permitted to use any other equipment?🤔🤔That would be a good spot for a sluice at least.😲😲 Powered equipment would be better yet. Thanks for sharing your adventure.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
@CandSMINING Thank you! Sadly I'm only allowed to use a pan in this spot. No sluices or powered equipment. I would love to be able to sluice this area, I know it's holding onto a bunch of gold :)
Very nice gold.
Thank you :)
That is some nice gold from that small amount of dirt. Those crevices pay nicely . Thats the fun part of gold mining is you never know when youre gonna find good paydirt. Rock On !
I love the crevicis out here! They always produce some gold for me :)
Nice spots you found there and you got some nice rice size pieces . Warm water is so good, Not ! Been there but it beats a chapped throat and from getting heat stroke. Go find some more, really like your vids. Lots of luck with that gold !
@etmyld69 Thank you! I can't wait for my next trip out to the gold again!
Great video mate. 1” drop per foot is a basic/rough starting point - high or low water flow can change that rule a lot. Don’t bother with a spirit level. Side to side levelness is important. Run some material through sluice & you’ll see if it’s level by how even it’s clearing. I try to run the sluice with the least amount of fall required. Just see how the sluice clears material. Not fast, not too slow. You want heavies to stay in the cells/riffles. But not over full & not completely clearing. Classify more so when water flow/volume is low. When there’s lots of flow, depending on the material, you can get away with not classifying at all. Let the location & conditions dictate sluice set up 👍 You want the water to create a “v” exactly like you have it - ending where the mat starts. Well done mate 👍⛏️⚖️🇦🇺
@Party-Marty Thank you That's a lot of extremely useful information! I'll be sure to have it set up right next time I'm down at the creek :)
You $21.60 today from that gold, not bad for 2hrs work, not bad at all. Nice pieces too !
@etmyld69 thank you :) this place always provides me with good gold :)
Well ya checked out the other side, awesome ! That turtle and salamander were a cool welcome , and your last pan had the best color. Funny how its always the last pan of the day and its the best pan and then time to leave. That just leaves more to explore that way ! Take Care Dude !
It always happens that way! Especially when I'm about to be late for work hahaha
Thats some chunky lil gold pieces, lookin good Dude. You like those mats ? Sluice box legs make it way quicker to set up and get the right angle on your sluice and small levels you can screw on the sides keep it straight across. Looks like a good creek to work, lots of nice bedrock and good looking gold. Good Luck , thanks for the nice vids Dude !
@etmyld69 i was surprised by how chunky and corse this gold is! I love the dream mat (most of my experience is from using it in a recirculating system for cleanups) they catch gold really well. I've never found a speck of gold in the lower half of my sluice box, all of it would get caught by the first mat. Very little cons, and super quick clean outs. I only wish I had gotten a wider box haha
Maybe we can trade panning trips Im in Western Montana
How's the gold in Montana? I've always wanted to prospect Idaho and western Montana
@@SkovianGoesOutdoors If you are in the right area not to bad. I've a couple of claims
@Lord-Shadow that's awesome!
Good place good gold 👋🇷🇺👍
Thank you :)
Hi Skovian. I would like to suggest that try to remember its good to get comfortable & adjust that posture to reduce the back pains. We will be on a metal detecting adventure soon as we just sold our house. Aron frrom Adv4good.
I can tell you got that Gold Rush when you found that nug , nothing quite like the rush of gold ! Don't let that tweaker get your gold ! Thanks for sharing that nugget with all of us .
I definitely felt the rush of finding that nugget, it was pretty exciting! Heavy pans :)
yeah, we couldn't see the angle of your sluice because we were pretty much looking down the sluice run or kind of on top. When you showed it towards the end it was easy to see. All good, live and learn.
Good thing i noticed during editing, it would have just slipped by me
Hi, just subscribed. Its insane on that river all the gold that was recovered and its still replenishes itself.I love that river and you are finding some good gold on all your videos, thanks for sharing Bro !
Thank you :) I'm really excited to see what replenishes next year. I also picked up a wet suit, I can't wait to see what's unter the water too!
@@SkovianGoesOutdoors So much fun sniping underwater and bigger gold and cooler in the hot summer. Get a nice sniping bulb and some dive weights for the tricky current and to not fight the current. Go find those nuggets waiting for ya !
@etmyld69 i didnt even think about diving weights, I'm probably gonna need em haha
@ Ya, I would highly recommend it and a hoodie to keep from getting a migrain headache from cold water and rubbing alcohol with ear swabs before and after your in the river or you can get a nasty earache . Go after sniping this Summer and get the nice gold !
@etmyld69 luckily i got a wet suit with a hood, got that covered :)
A cobweb will grow on your nose before you pan your first ounce of gold if all you use is a pan!
@daviddavey1727 I would use a sluice if i could, but the Law doesn't like that in this area. I just recently got a wet suit, gonna try out some sniping this year. Hopefully I find a nice nugget I'm at a little over half an oz with just the pan, but it's taken me two years haha
What state is this in?
This is in Oregon
What creek are you at
@@quinton3997 the rogue
Could your classifier be filtering out bigger gold?
@BargainBandit it's a possibility, I was using a really small 1/8 in classifier. I was checking my waste rock pile and I didn't see any gold though
Are you finding all your gold in Oregon
Yeah, Oregon is the only place I've ever prospected
Nice
Thank you :)
Probably mica the shiny silver piece
It could be!
Hey mate what size sluice are u using?
The sluice is 6x42 inches. Wish I had a wider one
❤ attaboy! Sluiceing is fun. Para cord under expanded metal on carpet. What I use to capture flood gold. Heavy pans brother!
That sounds like a cool idea! I might have to try that out sometime
Nice work Skovian. That creek looks peaceful. Nice pieces of gold. Good gold hunting! Take care.
@SilvasSmallMining Thank you man :) hope you are doing good
@ I’m just working on my gold trommel until the snow pack melts. Then it’s back to the claims.
Bottle is to gody no need for such think snuffer Bottle and you need to cut a good 45 degree agel in the straw but good job mate 👍 finding the shinny stuff
I was thinking the same thing, all of my other snuffers have had that 45⁰ on them. I might end up cutting the tip. I'll do some tests and see if it works better on a certain type of gold before i cut it. Heavy pans my friend :)
If you don't learn you're not trying! Always a good time!
@@williamrust8638 True words! :)
First thing is how in the world did you find that perfect rectangle rock for your sluice?😂 Great video man and yeah gotta watch those angles, they can getcha. But that gold sure is coarse and rugged. Well done all around man.
@@GoldHunter-77 hahah, it was the first rock I saw when I got down to the water. I instantly knew I needed it for my sluice hahah
Awesome seeing you run a sluice different very cool glad to see you out and gold always a bonus great one skovian👍💯💪
@nathan39romero Thank you Nathan! I was really needing to get back out again, I was missing it :)
great gold great filming!!!! try a small line level ...when i used to work with concrete sometimes a slope was needed for rain runoff ect...the bubble is centered between two lines ... an a 2 % drop we tilt level till the bubble was against the line... example ... l o l <----level ... now 2% drop.---> lo l see the bubble (circle) is to the left of center... set up sluice box then place level on box edge an see where the bubble is ...even mark it if you can't remember ..then you'll know your set for a say 1 inch drop for every foot ...or how you want it sloped.. enjoy !!!
@Warriori2i that's an awesome tool! I'm going to need to grab me one and keep it in the pack!
Didn’t look like your sluice was set up badly. Dream mat likes to run hot! Don’t be afraid of it. I little tilt either way won’t lose you gold unless you fill all the cells on that side with gold. Nice gold!👍
@@graveyardprospecting thank you, that puts my mind at ease :)
Hey man its Robert in Riddle. I love the sluice and the dream mat. Where did you get that classifier at? Also great job noticing the steep angle of your box, i was taught to have 1 inch of drop for every foot of sluice. So that looks like a 3 foot sluice and you would want 3 inches of drop. I carry a small line level and a piece of string to accomplish dialing it in. Hope this info helps cuz it would make me feel good to return the favor, I've learned alot watching your videos. Thank you
@robertcarkeek5535 That's a great idea! Thank you :) I've been trying to figure out a good way to check my angle. I'll have to use that
I have to say you used that sluice like a pro 👊🏽
@mandybrown7758 haha, thank you, this was my first time ever using it at a creek or river
Awesome day out on the creek Great gold Great video ✌🏼👊🏽
@mandybrown7758 thank you :)
Dang Skovian, not only are you good at finding the gold, but you're a damn fine video editor. Top Shelf editing.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the editing :) this video took me forever to edit haha
Love the new format. It's nice to see a change. I made my own classifier, just like yours, out of a fry basket. I learned the hard way, don't run the handle over the basket. Put them on the sides. Easier to spin, and easier to shovel into. Thanks for another awesome video
I was definatly running into trouble with the handle haha, those big rocks were annoying to deal with. I also should have gone with a larger classification, it was really slow filling up the buckets
Great day out there getting that Au. Keep at it. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Thank you GS!
Looks like alot of fun
It was, i had a blast :)
Nice work Skovian
Thank you :)
What size classifier screen is that you are using? That looks like one of those retractable buckets. Is it durable?
It was doubled up 1/4 of an inch mesh so probably closer to 1/8 in (its one of the arbor fabricating classifiers) I've decided that next time I'm going to run a 1/2 in classifier. It took way to long to fill a bucket with the classifier I was using
Makes me miss Alaska, but I'll head back soon enough 🤠 Great vid 💯⛏️
I would love to prospect Alaska. I've only ever been there once when i was a kid
Brother Skov, awesome to go on another adventure with you. Hope you all are doing well. Love the sluice, take care out there brother.
Thank you brother :) everyone is doing well over here, I hope you and the family are doing great too!
@SkovianGoesOutdoors everything is good Brother. Thank you! 🤘🐉💨
@AlaskanAssassinAdventure Glad to hear! How cold is it up there now?
@@SkovianGoesOutdoors warm today. Was raining earlier.
@AlaskanAssassinAdventure atleast its not raining any more :)
Heavy pans neighbor... it's a learning process for us all...Take care.
Heavy pans to you too :) I'll get it down one of these days haha :)
So so glad you enjoy the snuffer bottle. May it always collect all your smiles on these exciting adventures. It is really hard to get back in the holder if you pull it out. Takes some finesse , but eventually goes back in. Your sluicing playground is so peaceful and the sounds of the water relaxes and smooths out the stresses of life. Stay golden brother 🏔️🏔️🌲☃️👊⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️😆
I really enjoy it, thank you Kirik! I really like this new play ground, it's only like 100 yards from the water shead so the water level is always fairly reasonable :)
I always go back to Dan hurds sluice box testing video where he tested with steep angles, unlevel boxes, etc. yes you can lose gold from an improper setup but the reality is, probably not all that noticeable unless your production mining. I noticed it was steep in that one clip but the water flow wasn’t too much. Overall a good result for the first time. Course gold too! Looks like a good spot to hit during the rainy season. Great video as always!
I really should watch that video, it sounds really interesting! This spot is great in the rainy season it's only about 200 yards from the start of the water source (I went there during the flooding we had the other week and was still able to find a little gold. The water was only 2 feet deep)
Good job🎉
Thank you :) I'm gonna work on my set up more next time though haha
@SkovianGoesOutdoors I hear you, brother.Sometimes there are real pain in the butt to get set up just the right way
Beautiful sharing brother 🏔️🏔️🏔️🌲☃️⚒️⚒️⚒️💖
Thank you brother!
