Josh Bohmker and Tom Boykin have been prospecting for gold and adventure together since 2016. In 2024 we decided to start documenting our outings and some of the techniques we've learned along the way. There are plenty of YT channels on detecting for gold, panning, dredging, and prospecting, but very few show actual techniques and capture the true experience of searching for gold.

Sluice Box Prospecting for Gold Nuggets - 1500 LBS of Pay Dirt
Переглядів 1,1 тис.16 годин тому
Josh and Tom take a Keene A52 sluice box prospecting in Oregon for gold nuggets. They dump buckets of pay dirt and finish things off with gold panning. How much gold is in a half yard of dirt? Digging up treasure ain't easy but it's a good workout and fun to see shiny gold come out of the ground. #goldnugget #goldprospecting #goldpanning #sluice #sluicebox #keene #goldrush #gold

Southern Oregon Gold Prospecting - Detecting for Nuggets
good info! Thanks.
This is Catni from OMMO and I wish you a nice day! I want to invite you to do some videos for our Underwater Metal Detector in UA-cam, will you be interested in trying it?
Thanks for the info! I also have interest in the quartzville area. Did you know the 11rd is closed all winter due to an accident.
My dogs name Is Angus too he’s a chocolate. Been detecting for gold for like 43 years I like big ones harder to hunt. Klamath is an interesting area I’m down on feather River Yuba but I’ve hunted all over.
1500 lbs? Wouldn't that vary considerably dependent upon material? Nice Gold! Heavy Pans!!!
Tom Boykin here - my back says it was about 1500-1600. It's calibrated to concrete, which is slightly lighter than the material we were running.
Magnetic? I don't think so.
Oregonite is non-magnetic, and josephinite is highly magnetic. It's nickel and iron
Awesome Adventure Josh and Tom. Boot's on the ground exploring and making memories!! Beautiful Country, and the tarp at the top of the Sluice, great idea. Heavy Pans and Gold Fever Always Brothers.... Tony@TNT Mining&Prospecting, PEACE!!!
Love your stuff!
Thank you
nice video guys! Keep em coming! Nice chunky rough gold close to the source!
Thanks! Will do!
Love this test when I’m back in June with Josh hit me up I’ll come do some work help out with ya
🙂
What a great day out there fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
We really do appreciate your support. Thanks
Perfect video
Thanks
Great production 🎥
Thanks!
Hello from Chico. New subscriber. Looking forward to seeing your work.
Thanks Toad. I’m jealous! Lots of good gold not too far from Chico.
Heck yea awesome stuff wish i had an angus mccurk thanks for sharing
Drop riffles are the best. No messing with miner's moss and they still catch the fines. Usually when I go out I try to half inch classify and slam about 30 gallons down at least. I think my best day was 60 gallons. Home made yabby pump is a game changer too.
I like your sluice and the also the way you take time to explain what you are doing and how it all works. That’s great info for the new prospectors. Nice gold and keep up the great work 💯
Thanks!
Great video
Thanks, it was good to get out
Nice! It all adds up! Keep those videos coming!
Will do. Work and life have taken priority but we will always make time for prospecting
Good too see you again online keep it up
It was good to get out and get some mud on my boots
Good job. Gonna be hitting up some canyons in Trinity County in a week. Hope I have a little luck with me.
A few hours in the woods is worth a day at home, even if you come back with an empty pocket.
Great day out there fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
🥴 been there done that!
I know where you are....
Really enjoyable set of videos. Thank you.
This was a great video adventure and I appreciated hearing your thoughts as you went along. I also love being out prospecting on my own. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and nice gold.👍
Fellow gold miner and UA-camr here. I’m also in Southern Oregon. Awesome video man and incredible that you are finding nice gold nuggets like that! Wow That’s been a dream of mine for a long time but I don’t have a good detector yet. Subscribed

Thanks
Keep following your dreams.
As long as the body is willing!
Thanks for taking us along sir!
Thanks for coming along
I placer mine over there. I do quite well. I know some really good spots for that style of mining just tough cause ground is very mineralized
Always on the lookout for good ground to detect. If you ever want to meet up let us know!
Eastern Oregon is my fav gold place. Southern is over rated
Tom you are truly turning into a gold magnet! Good video! Heavy Pans Tim

My Great Grandfather owned a construction company that paved many eastern Oregon roads for the first time. My grandfather worked with him in the early 50s. He used to say that some of the roads they paved, they paved with gold. Sumpter down to Unity'ish.
There are some great stories of prospectors finding gold in the middle of logging roads.
Nice going! Josh would be proud of you. Nice reading of the signs in the land! Don't forget that lost signal back on the hill!
Stay tuned
Thank you! Enjoyed that very much and cant wait for the next installment!
Appreciate it, should be out on Sunday.
That's how to get it done indeed fam. What a blast. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Gold squad 4 lyfe!
Thank u
No problem
Congrats on incredible finds. I started golding this year and have had three trips to Eastern Oregon, specifically the Blue Mountains and Wallowa Mountains. I have researched and mapped more spots that I can visit anytime soon, lol. I wouldn't mind the company of seasoned prospectors, though.
Sounds like fun
