Great stuff guys, When you are new to it, this is the best bit about gold panning for me. I dug holes for hours and hours and couldn't find a sausage but when you see that first spec it is a game changer. Cracking location too.
MrDaz will help you greatly watching his videos, keep up the hunt that first speck you will remember for the rest of your life, I m a american gold miner in the Dominican Republic
You all prolly dont care at all but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
Great video tomcats.. have been watching all the gold prospectors on tv during covid 19 lockdown...i cant make a video as good as yours, but i am having a go at it SOON maybe spring or summer this year, dont think i am gonna get rich..but ambition is just ONE flake ONE morsel of gold..was asolutely gutted u didnt get any luck..happy new year dudes
Great to see you giving panning a go! Don't give up, as there is gold out there. I know that MrDazP1 finds gold up in the NW of England. Edit: Just seen the comment below mine is from @MrDazP1 so you are aware!
Hello Kieron, I just noticed this comment and thanks for posting. I have watched some of your videos before all this UA-cam stuff became so popular. You have had some fantastic views on your videos. Hope you are well.
Great video fellas. Nice to see the area, as well as looking at the dirt. Well done. I see you're using your kit right out of the box, have you seasoned your pan? You have to remove the casting oils so the tiny specks don't slip away. Here's how to season a pan. ua-cam.com/video/Pp3swkWWU2k/v-deo.html And here's a good panning method, ua-cam.com/video/Hfn-rD_yxN4/v-deo.html I would say it's better to pan two handed to start. And forget about swirling the pan, you'll just push your gold back into the rest of it and have to start again. All the best.
Did some prospecting in Wales. As it was freezing I bagged up the paydirt and panned at home, found about 19 pieces in 2 bags. If you can drive a couple of hours, narrow rivers around snowdon are a good bet. Also. Dig till you can't dig anymore, hit bedrock. All rivers and natural streams contain gold to some degree, mainly micro gold which is really difficult to pan. And you need to look at the colour of the river, iron is a good indication of where to look and will have a red tinge to the rocks that you dig, find that and your instantly increasing you chance of finding gold. And also watch Parker Schnables guide to panning, no offence but your technique sucks lol
Hi guys enjoyed the video, you need to classify your dirt more, preferably down to 5mm mesh. I'm from the northeast and have been prospecting for 12yrs and I design and make gold prospecting equipment. There are a couple of places in our area that does produce very fine gold. Good luck
Dnt no if u have read my messages. But I have just brought panning kits and a sluice box and other tools but still waiting to get the chance to meet someone who is into the same interest. If anyone has the same problem. Then would love to hear from you. Thanks.
Was it not lead in the first pan ? Time to watch the rest :) Did google on the lined pebble and its Particles that get trapped with in the small cracks over time some can be algae and some gems quite interesting really
the next time you go to a gravel bar/pebble beach, try doing a test trench using pans across the width. this will help you locate the best paystreak, which should extend down the entire bar. gold luck to you :)
Hey guys by the look of your video, looks like y'all are new at this. I wanna give you a tip, get on UA-cam and look for a man named Freddy Dodge, he has video that will teach you and show you how to pan for gold.. Telling you he helped (his videos) me out tremendously. Best of luck, hope you find your Mother Lode
The best way to get around the problem of digging anywhere is always contact the local council first and always do reclamation... fill those holes guys 🤣🤣

In front of large stoanes.. On bends.
Hey guys. Great fun..you need to slow down the flow and flatten out the water over your sluice. Keep it nice n flat..
Dig deeper...
Good hunting.
Way too much water running through your sluice box, currents too strong, probably lost gold.

Hi im new to this could you help.
@@Aerialit if I can I will certainly
Where abouts in the north I'd like to try it
cool stuff. I'd like to try that sometime
Thanks mate, better look next time

@@hollieb5051 I'm not where you live, but I'm in New Brunswick Canada
@@hollieb5051 yeah I have the same problem I usually just go myself if you want to come along sometime your welcome

I'd say that silver thing is solder maybe.. Because of the shape and colour
the next time you go to a gravel bar/pebble beach, try doing a test trench using pans across the width. this will help you locate the best paystreak, which should extend down the entire bar. gold luck to you :)
Thanks for the advice mate hoping to get out again soon ill give it a try 👍
That first piece of pottery it's beige and like a lid I think that's part of a Victorian foot warmer
Ohh foot warmer yes did not think about that haha thanks

That silver bit will probably be lead. Nice vid
If your first hole was a trap for something that heavy and metal it should have been one to open up. If that was in the heavies then what else was
Brilliant Dan mate I've been wanting to give it a go myself, some good spots up north not too far from me
Thanks Richie, you should mate we did not come away with much but it was good day. Oh really where abouts
@@crusaderdanbottledigginguk Tyndrum mate its just north of loch Lomond
Ohh nice ive been loch lomond and went up to fort william beautiful around there. Wish i lived around there haha
The silver thing looks like actual silver with its host rock worn away, that or melted aluminium, is it heavy for its size?
Its a tough one isnt it mate its very light
Crusader Dan my guess is aluminium. Get down to Wales, plenty to be found.
Cool vid. Did you go out again? any luck?
Hi, congratulations, I liked the video. Can you tell me how big is the sluce box? Greetings from Ecuador... 🙂🖐🖐🖐
Thank you yes its about 3 feet long if that helps. Greetings from Manchester UK
Excuse me, how wide is it, and What Brand is IT?
Great vid matey wot sluice u using matey
Fairplay to you lads.cant wait to get out myself and have a go.midlands
Thanks mate, good luck. Hoping to get out soon my self
I know this place!!
Last bit would have been better other bank on bend they catch more deposits
Any info on laws etc uk is a bit iffy what with it all belonging to the queen's estate?
I thought you are not allow to dig into the river banks !!!In scotland its not allowed
The best way to get around the problem of digging anywhere is always contact the local council first and always do reclamation... fill those holes guys 🤣🤣
Dig down to the bed rock, that's where it settles.
Hi great stuff but need to tune the sleuth
Your more likely to find it closer to bedrock
Totally not worth it
