I enjoy checking out your videos. I tried a couple of pans this afternoon at a spot I found in Lancaster County. I'm quite the beginner at this. But I've practiced at three different spots now, so I think I've got the method right. Each pan had some decent black sand at the bottom. But all I was finding was mica flakes lol This spot has a decent current so I wanna try out my sluice box there next time. I work at a sheet metal shop and made my own out of 18ga stainless steel. I cut a piece of stainless mesh to set inside it, with a mat in between. One of these days I'm gonna get lucky and find something!
If you get a chance head on over to Dillsburg Pennsylvania prior to my stroke I was thinking of doing a couple of spots over there I've heard others in the past have had good success there
I use a piece of modified spouting 8' long in the creek , one side slightly higher and tripled my gold intake near the same creek in pa . your at .I keep one thing in mind that pap said....there's not only cray-fish under the rocks !
Thank you brother this was four months before my major stroke I don't know if you got to that far yet but there's a whole playlist on my stroke I had it back in March I haven't gotten out gold pan and since then however I am planning a trip to Arizona right now should be leaving in about 3 weeks taking my gold pan and stuff with me
This does look like a very interesting hobby. Metal detecting looks interesting too. Ive also seen a video series on some one using radio control vehicles for finding gold, but thats very very expensive to do by comparison to what you are showing us here, so i may just do it like this. Thanks for sharing
Yeah it is very fun I mean you don't find very much gold so it's definitely a hobby I look forward to getting back to it again at some point however I'm just not real stable in the water
The video about “finding gold in every creek” is soo hard for me to believe. I live in Pitts pa , and I can tell you 100 % that it’s not true , maybe where he lives , but I’m not here to insult anyone, just saying.
Can I please ask where in PA are you. I'm from the Scranton & Wilkes-Barre area of PA and I've been metal detecting for years but I've always wanted to find gold. Not that I haven't invested in any pans or a sluice Box I just never find anything.

Move them big rocks buddy, use a come along, your best gold sometimes will be in the big boulder areas, most people do not want to work that stuff because it is difficult and time consuming, but it's worth it, if there is big boulders I will move them and dig there.
Yeah true I had been wanting to get back to that Creek but 20 months ago when I had my stroke it kind of put a kibosh on me going into the water right now until I'm more stable on my feet and my right arm is not very strong right now
God Bless Ya, Tony! Ya gotta dig down to clay to do well on "Rock Bottom Creek"! Can't wait to go Diggin wit'cha again, so, Get well, and Let's Go‼️🍀🦾⛏️🇺🇸🎯😎👍😂
@@randomadventures2.0 I'm heading to North Carolina Thursday - Georgia, Friday, for 3Days, back to NC,then home Tuesday 🤪‼️🍀🦾⛏️🇺🇸🎯😎Wish me Luck, My Brother ‼️🎯😎
Oh yeah man I drink coffee all day and night and I'm living in these Creeks nowadays.. but I'm from Southern Florida so from surf rat to Cinci river rat. Lets go!🤙
I found some petrified wood and other cool minerals. Thanks to a fellow prospector Lester who invited me on a joint trip. Thanks for watching and Subscribing. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
@@randomadventures2.0 That's so cool. Yeah, I want to start learning about the other minerals too, you know, how to identify them in nature. Thanks again friend🙋♂️🤠💰🏴☠️
Hey William sorry I'm just seeing this for some reason some of the comments didn't income through but now I'm seeing them and I am so happy to have you along I will be back out on the creeks as part of my recovery from my recent stroke as you will see on my channel is the last videos I have been showing I mean get your done and gonna get out there
Can run thows peaces of quartz over your gold monster to see if they have any gold in them.or collect up a bucket of the really minimized stuff n take it home.crush it down n see if there's a lot of fine gold.i get an extra 2 grams most of the time by doing that.
I don't have any yet. Not sure of a design - Would love to get some made for the channel. Thanks for watching and checking. Hopefully I will in the near future.
Im in Central PA n would really appreciate asking you questions on what is allowed and where? From my understanding in PA there is almost nowhere to do recreational panning. Basically private property or national forests is all we are allowed to do? Also curious if we are allowed to use electricity to help. Would truly appreciate the help, thanks.
I would check with what the laws are a lot of times I know that it is recreational like you're not ting up to do a mining operation mostly recreational
Hey Adam I was invited to this stream by a fellow prospector and he asked that I not say. However, the creek that runs through Dillsburg is a good one. 👍
Black sand is an indication that there can be gold in the Stream so whenever you find black sand because it is heavier it will subtle in certain spots so when you find it if there is gold which is a little heavier than the black sand you know you're on to something
Hey Tony, happy new year buddy. You bought the claim from Lester or are you a claim jumper * laughs. Just kidding mate. You are doing very well. I'm going to get gold fever too, but we're not allowed to do so because of the fish spawn. Sometimes strange laws in Germany. Nice to see you again. Greetings Peter 🤠👌
Humm maybe google before sounding uneducated? Theirs actually gold all through pa their was a huge mine here from 1878 to 1908 the main production wasn't gold but still produced quite a bit as well as some platinum.
Yes I am in Pennsylvania which is Central PA I am about 2 hours away or north of Philadelphia about a half hour away from or below Hazleton Pennsylvania

Glad to see you got some Pa shiny ‼️ Beautiful area, Ain't it 😃😎‼️🎯
It is definitely beautiful. Found some amazing rocks as well.
I want to try panning some day.
I use a piece of modified spouting 8' long in the creek , one side slightly higher and tripled my gold intake near the same creek in pa . your at .I keep one thing in mind that pap said....there's not only cray-fish under the rocks !
That sounds awesome and your Pap is correct LOL thanks for sharing that with me buddy
Another Great prospecting Video Loved it Keep em coming Great time

I find plenty of gold in Pennsylvania but it is very hit and miss but 10ft can make a huge difference. 💪😎
You said that right very hit and miss!
What type flakes/nuggets? Have u ever found a nugget?
@@sol6967i would also love to know

Hey sorry I am just seeing this it has been quite some time the best place is it's central PA is where I'm located but I go closer to Dillsburg area
Gunna ask same question also from Scranton area
How or where do I find out if a location/creek can be prospected? Thanks

Nice to see you back on the creek. I did recognize the place where you and Lester were. You got some shiny so it wasnt a bust. Good job Tony!!
Thanks Buddy it was nice to get out. Happy New Year!

@@lesterleporesr5228 okay - have a safe trip and awesome adventure .
how long were you out in creek. I bet time flies by as you dig and clean. great video.
I was probably at this location for about 6 hours which included filming so it always takes longer
You could use level for the saluce
Absolutely that would definitely work great
Oh yeah man I drink coffee all day and night and I'm living in these Creeks nowadays.. but I'm from Southern Florida so from surf rat to Cinci river rat. Lets go!🤙
Absolutely 100% let's go sounds like you're having an awesome time as well and we are two coffee driven buds
Larsonite jasper is what you have there as far as the green rock goes..can be rather blue and green or both colors combined in layers
+Jimmy Kreutz nice thanks for identifying its small but really beautiful!
*Wow that's a very beautiful spot you've found there Random Adventures! I subscribed to your great channel* 💰🏴☠️🤠

@@randomadventures2.0 I have been following your recovery, your doing great! I really enjoy your content keep up the great work
Back in the day Jerry Jones was Pennsylvania's state geologist and he said all the creeks have Gold. We surveyed Peters creek and found Gold.
Can run thows peaces of quartz over your gold monster to see if they have any gold in them.or collect up a bucket of the really minimized stuff n take it home.crush it down n see if there's a lot of fine gold.i get an extra 2 grams most of the time by doing that.
That is a great idea Melvin thanks for that and good job on the two grams extra that work seems to pay off really good!
The very few pa gold deposits are in the sulfides not in the quartz
Great Video, I was wondering if you have any channel stickers to share?
I don't have any yet. Not sure of a design - Would love to get some made for the channel. Thanks for watching and checking. Hopefully I will in the near future.

@@randomadventures2.0 actually, the only way u need a special permit to prospect in pa is if youre using a gas powered dredge
☕Happy New Year Tony! 🍁🤠
Happy New Year to you as well Friend.
Extremely large amount of larsonite deposit at a place called springfield falls pa, gem quality stuff actually
+Jimmy Kreutz hey Jim I've not heard of that place thanks for sharing.
Hi. Does one need any kind of local or state permission to use a shovel and pan?
First! I was just wondering how you did out there 😃🤣😎
I was super beat when I got home was going to call started editing and fell asleep.
May I at least ask what stream this is on? I live a county over from York County and am looking for good streams to pan. Much appreciated
Hey Adam I was invited to this stream by a fellow prospector and he asked that I not say. However, the creek that runs through Dillsburg is a good one. 👍
@@randomadventures2.0 ok thank you
What is the deal with black sand?
Black sand is an indication that there can be gold in the Stream so whenever you find black sand because it is heavier it will subtle in certain spots so when you find it if there is gold which is a little heavier than the black sand you know you're on to something
You polish any of the minerals you find?
Not yet but have been thinking about it hopefully in the near future.
✌️👉👌... this would make a good t-shirt logo for u 🤣😎
What would make a good logo?
YES LOL 2 ✌️ . 👉 O👌 Missed it at 1st
That Sluice Fox looks like a good lil piece of gear, it looks like it can be taken apart and stuffed into a pack ?
Yes it can come apart it is a pretty good piece of equipment I use a mini sluice sometimes when I'm out just prospecting
I own a sluice fox, it is great and reasonable as well, highly recommend one.
All that bigger stuff hammered down and ran has gold in that material free up the free mill gold sir.
Hey Adam good call my friend. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What's the big deal about black sand?
Usually when you see black sand it means there's gold mixed in
What kind if sluice do you use?
Think this one was a sluice Fox another prospector ( lester ) gave it to me. Usually I use the AMR mini sluice
what was that song at the intro
Called From East to West by Arthur Basov
Power Director App on my phone.
I would try the center of the creek no 1 ever does that just to see
True
Hey Tony, happy new year buddy.
You bought the claim from Lester or are you a claim jumper * laughs.
Just kidding mate.
You are doing very well. I'm going to get gold fever too, but we're not allowed to do so because of the fish spawn. Sometimes strange laws in Germany.
Nice to see you again. Greetings Peter 🤠👌
Happy New Year to you too! LOL no jumping. Would have been nice if he was able to make it. Our schedules didn't work for such short notice.
Where are you based out of?
Central Pennsylvania
@@randomadventures2.0 did you ever pan at Ohiopyle? I'm probably gonna try in a few weeks.
No that would be awesome have fun!!!!!!
Your gold is in the quartz
Absolutely
I have tons of PA quartz and have yet to find gold. In there
Big boulders means nobody has worked it.
Absolutely
Glad to see you are out enjoying the adventures!!
Wow geologically there's no gold in Pennsylvania you could have got more gold out of a bag of sand from home Depot for $7
Humm maybe google before sounding uneducated? Theirs actually gold all through pa their was a huge mine here from 1878 to 1908 the main production wasn't gold but still produced quite a bit as well as some platinum.
I've been trying to call you I've been in the hospital.
Glad your feeling better!
Why are you digging with a spoon, get a heavy pry bar, pick and shovel and get at it!!
Newbie LOL I saw someone else using a spoon getting down into them cracks so I thought I'd try it
Yeah I understand, but remember it's all about getting as much dirt through your sluice box!!
very hard to find gold in Pennsylvania other states seems much better
Yeah the golden Pennsylvania is mostly flower gold and Glacier gold definitely better in some states with some Pickers and Nuggets
Hey bud can i shoot you an email?
Absolutely randomadventures927@gmail.com
Thanks for wasting my time bro
So sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it
Are you in PA? What part I'm in Philly
