    Were you having trouble with the same belt that you just reconditioned or was it a different pump? I saw how you fixed the seized pieces to the pump in another video. Thanks for sharing your video!

    • @ancellsadventures
      @ancellsadventures 9 днів тому

      So after I changed the belt and reinstalled the pump, the pump seal was dripping water on the belt pulley when I started running. I didn’t see anything wrong with the seals when I had it apart so I just reused them. After a couple hours of running the seals started to get worse and the belt slipped and I didn’t notice it until it was too late. I talked to prolines owner and he thinks I probably got oil or grease on the seals when I was working on it and those seals cannot have any oils come in contact with them at all, they will leak! So I’ve got new seals and belt on the way! It was a very aggravating learning experience to say the least!!

    Speaking to a 10 Bolt 8.6" in a 2007 Suburban/Yukon, the O.D of the cage for the exciter is 70mm. 2.75Inch = 69.85mm. If you need to drive it in with accuracy and dont want to spend $50+ on a 68mm driver, see if the autopart store (or amazon) has an exhaust reducer with an O.D of 2.75". If you want to do it the way I do it? Lightly heat the inside of the housing with a torch to get it just hot enough to cause the oils on the outside to smoke a bit. Meanwhile, have the ABS Ring, Torrington Bearing and seal in the freezer for no less than one hour. Grab an old beach towel, take them out of the freezer and wrap them all tightly in the towel to keep them cold. Install them with the housing freshly torch heated (keep the torch moving!) and install the frozen parts ASAP. They will damn near slide into the housing more or less. Happy trails!

      Unfortunately the properties we are working at the moment are private and we aren’t able to bring guests. However if you’re serious about wanting to get involved in gold prospecting you should definitely check out the Central Virginia Gold Prospectors club. It’s an amazing club that is very family friendly and very welcoming to newcomers! It’s $100 a year for your entire family and has 5 properties at the moment and adding more in may or June. You can camp on the properties and go anytime you want to go. Generally speaking after the monthly meetings they invite new people out to the claims to show them around and teach them how to pan. You can check them out at CVGP. Net

    • @ancellsadventures
      @ancellsadventures 3 місяці тому

      I’d definitely say don’t rush into it. Get some pans and maybe a sluice box and learn to pan efficiently. It all comes back to panning in the end. A dredge is nice but learning to locate gold is a must or you will get frustrated fast! I went full bore and felt defeated when I ran a bunch of worthless dirt for hours. If you can locate something good and repeat that result then I’d look to get something that will move more material. Just my two cents

    I’d like to buy a small place to prank around with someday. Are clams pretty expensive or can you just buy land with a creek on it? I have no clue how it works. Seems like something that would be fun to do on vacation and my dad would like that when he retires.

    • @ancellsadventures
      @ancellsadventures 4 місяці тому

      So in Virginia there aren’t claims. Property that you buy is yours to prospect on providing the creek is on your property and not the property line itself. In that case things could get a bit troublesome if you’re neighbor doesn’t like the fact your prospecting in the creek. I’m not sure how to tell you to navigate that case. But I’ve found most people are open to it once they see how and what is done. As long as you’re not making an absolute mess and leaving holes open and trashing the area. It’s a great hobby to get involved in, gets you outdoors and is great for the family! You can join the central Virginia gold prospectors club and get your feet wet and learn how to prospect from some great people. Very family oriented and it’s very affordable. $100 a year for your whole family and they have 5 properties as of now and are adding more this year. You can look them up at CVGP. Net I hope this helps point you in the right direction and thanks for watching!! We have a new prospecting video coming out on the 17th and many more to come in the future!!
