Alberta Gold VS Cape Disappointment Beach Gold.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 січ 2024
- I had the opportunity to compare some raw beach sand from Cape D with the material we dig here in Alberta. I was surprised to see just how much black sand there was, but what was most interesting is the gold it's self was very similar to our local flour gold.
I hope this helps put into perspective the different types of conditions fine flour gold miners work with and demonstrates just how important specific fine gold recovery is in these areas.

I'm glad everyone is enjoying the video! I can't wait to get back to Cape D.
Great job Panning indeed fam. Nice mail call. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Jim and his wife are great people. He joined up for some digging a couple times. Great video. Keep having fun
It's not about the amount of black sands , it's about having capture zones being available as the material passes by.
Gold that small and so few is in no rush to beat the numerous black sands to the bottom
Perhaps a substantial length of slick plate would be a useful addition.
I found this a Very interesting tape - Thanks for not eating on camera.
lol eat some gold next time
No comparison at all. Be really neat to see if your utmost highbanker could handle full blown Cape Disappointment beach sand. Now that would be the Ultimate highbanker 😅
Both golds have been worked to this size (Flour). That would mean small and flat . Blacks sands by the look spherical in shape . Moving more volume along a 10 degree slope would take longer one would think . This brings to mind the gold cube and it's 15 degree slope which is used lots at cape disappointment with few to no riffles . Good comparison
Woo new vid!
I’m in Central America again at the moment. Beaches here are loaded with black sand. Unfortunately they are not loaded with gold. A pan of it weighs about 10 lbs. And it is so hot here my prospecting is just looking for fish, restaurants and shade. 😅
Lesser slave lake by widewater has lots of micro garnets in the beach sand, the bottom of the pan turns red when you pan it out with mabey 2 colors per pan.
Great comparison, Kyle. Thank you.
My pleasure!
I’ve bought 2 times off Yukon Ali and both times got over the 1 gram that was advertised ❤
The amount of magnetite in the beach gold varies from about 30% to a bit greater than 50%. We mine only the black sand and intentionally avoid the blonds. Think of zebra stripes of black and blond sands. Only some of the black sand has gold. I usually only mine when I get 20-40 (or greater) colors per pan (a couple pinches of sand). It is better to try to pan just a couple pinches of sand rather than a shovel full - You'll be panning for an hour to test. It's fun but takes a lot of work. If you find a good spot to work and are there for a week - you may find an ounce. State rules require some prep so study up and get the right paperwork.
Beach mining …. The slowest way to get rich… minus picking up aluminum cans from the ditch…🤣🍻✅
Our aluminum cans are worth 10 cents a piece.

4:56 maybe it is a better idea to put this on the miller table XD
A Miller table would be better than panning here for sure. Ideally, I'd put it through a small sluice and then finish on the miller table. But it was still good to be able to pan and compare, I think.
Uncle Jimmy is the best! Cape D is no joke! Great video, brother ✌️✌️✌️
50 & 100 mesh works best. Going to be real enjoyable if you appreciate fine gold. Most just throw back to get bigger. Truthfully I luv the challenge of the CAPE 😅
It seems like a really cool place to hunt for gold!
@@UtmostOutdoors it’s kinda like the place when your adventures first began. A place to unload the stress of life and a place to enjoy your freedom with no rules and many dreams. Dreams of being rich, dreams of buying your favorite car or boat. But not No more, because people gave lost to their back bone to their constitutional rights and opened the gates of crooked local officials who say . What was put her by god , you will pay dearly to enjoy. Not a fun place No more 🤐
@SECRETCREEKPROSPECTING1776 Is any prospecting still allowed at cape D with restrictions on equipment, or is it fully shut down? I don't know much about the local rules there...
@@UtmostOutdoors like everything that is enjoyed by a citizen. Those who work for us are so far up our asses that it all cost something. The constitution says that any body of water or land that was put here by god is free for any citizen to enjoy without license , without registration and without molestation of government. And if you know how to say that to a crooked public servant it is free to enjoy. But if you put your tail between your legs and offer to pay those crooked public servants. Then yes you must waive all your rights to enjoy what is rightfully yours to enjoy freely will be gone ✍️
@@UtmostOutdoors no prospecting has been done there since they deemed to violate our rights in our public parks. Yes , it is a state Park. Owned by the people and molested by public servants. The world is becoming Shawshank Redemption
I find playing with sand to extract the gold very challenging. My best success has been covering my drop riffle highbanker bed with a cut piece of corrigated plastic, then covering it with wool fabric. You can feed it quite quickly, as the friction of the wool allows the blond and black sands to escape first, leaving the gold behind. After running two bucket of only NSR sand, the uper portion of the wool showed a hue of gold, changing to a hue of black and finally to a color purple showing the tiniest bits of garnets. Here's a short video (feel free to delete it if it goes against your policy) of that sand highbanking day. ua-cam.com/video/43KHLnsgoks/v-deo.html&ab_channel=John-Edmonton
The wool blankets seem very effective!
Interesting comparison Kyle. What camera do you use for your close ups in the gold pan? Is it a separate camera? Cheers!
I use my cellphone. Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. The phone can switch to use the wide angle lens to take the macro shots when you get right up close. Seems to let you get pretty close!
@@UtmostOutdoors - certainly one of the better phone cameras have seen for close up macro shots.
Why are you moving bud. Are you still going to be putting out video
Moving with Carol, it's her turn to be close to family for a while. I'll get back to making videos soon.
