Wow, that's a big life event and I hope you have a great experience! You might run into the Mr. Gold, Emily or the Kelly's. Maybe the Kelly dad is out of jail by now? Just don't by any claims from him! 🤣
@@LeeHendrixGold I'm sure I'll see and meet them all, but I'm beach mining. 4 grams per yard minimum around 8 yards per day. Spending 45,000 to ship my 4 runner, and 20ft container with John Deere 4x6 gator and equipment along with provisions. Great thing is its all tax deductible as a sole proprietor first year up there. I have a Super Hog that I've improved into the "Iron Hog" complete with vibrator shaker on the two lower extensions and a "Brick Wall" underflow sluice box at the end (both to combat surface tension against super fine gold escape) I've researched it so much, that I'm super confident it will work out in my favor....as long as a Grizzly doesn't eat me. 🙏👍
Way to go fellas. I like how you kept testing the different layers and didn't give up until the bedrock was clean. That is how it's done! Some give up too soon and leave the best gold behind. Congrats and heavy pans!
I was surprised there wasn't more gold sitting on the clay layer. The clay was not worth the time to process so the following weekend I simply shoveled it into the creek behind a ridge thinking that a gulley washer might just get rid of that clay and leave some small amount of gold behind. The "Debby" rains should have done just that, so I am anxious to get back there and see what I find out. Thanks for watching the video and leaving the comment! ⛏️⛏️👍
It was apparent after seeing Tim in action that he has spent some time behind the controls. He really did a great job of leaving me a good place to test the different layers. I was expecting to find gold in a layer where there was fist size to football sized quartz rocks but the gold seems to have settled down on the bedrock long before those rocks where left behind. I liked getting that extra gold in the pan but I also liked learning more about the ground there.
I dream of having a backhoe for a couple of hours. That's moving material. You will find the nugget streak. I heard you talk about whether the gold is rough or not. What does rough mean other than it's recently broken from the host material. Could this lead to a vain or what? Fantastic video. Thanks Tim for allowing them to take it to the next level.
It's very exciting to have an opportunity to get access to land and equipment like I have with Tim's place. It has been a great learning & playing experience and is the exact benefit you would hope to get from YouTubing. In regard to the coarseness of the gold, yes, it has to do with how far the water has moved it from its source and it looked to me like it had moved some distance. The mine is known for having specimen gold. I have only found one piece, but I suspect the odds would be much higher of finding more where there has been no dredging in the past. Indeed, thank you Tim for allowing me the chance to share the results and experience with the channel watchers 👏
Nice job Lee, gold is just so sparce out here. That's why I'm heading to Nome AK next year for possibly 3 years
🤙👍

Nice work Lee and John! Get that shiney brothers! ✨️⛏️💪🏻👍🏻
I missed this video earlier, what a lot of layers to this project. Nice work fellows!!! ⛏⛏
Thanks, there's a lot of investigation to do!

That's how to get it done indeed fam. Great job getting that Au. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Thanks Jason, heavy pans! 👍
Nice job! Looks like a fun way to spend the day and the gold sure is pretty!
@@UtmostOutdoors Yes, have you ever parked a car 20' away from where you are "mining"? It's nice 😁
Backhoe is easy on the back. Great video!

Looks like Tim opened up the ol creek bed, the creek probably was where you parked at one time. You were using the wrong pan hahaha keep digging!
I wonder... How far does the gold go back into the field... 🤔
