  • Gold Panning in the United Kingdom in the stunning Scottish Highlands. There is a modern day Gold Rush in the UK with a new gold mine in town at the Connonish mine site. On this trip we visit Tyndrum where there is gold in abundance ! . If you are into gold panning videos then this might be just for you. .
    I am a gold prospecting film maker where my aim is to share my experiences with you, and more importantly to give you a honest account of what I find.
    thank you for watching MrDazP1.....

    one of the best videos ive watched on UA-cam. Superb clarity. Lovely editing. Straightforward, informative and no nonsense. I work on the west highland railway line that runs adjacent to that river and every year I say to myself I must come back and do a bit of gold panning in the summer time. Your video has inspired me to do that this year (covid depending). Happy gold hunting and once again great video. Top drawer stuff, well done.

      Thank you so much for the kind words. I was extremely lucky on this trip to have such fantastic weather and as for the gold. That was a bonus. I never expected to find that much on my first visit to this place. It can take years to learn river systems so maybe the river gods were looking down on me. Best of luck if you take up this hobby and be mindful of gold fever.

      @@garethzero Scotland was once almost 100% covered in a vast Forest, some of the ancient Caledonian forest which formed after the last ice age can still be found in areas of Tyndrum, most of the deforestation of the Scottish Highlands was a result of subsequent Wars and the need for fuel and building materials for the British Army and Naval forces.. and also the industrial revolution... When you remove a forest you also remove the soil from the land and the ability for people to sustain a living from that land. Tyndrum/ The Highlands could easily have supported Oak trees, before the deforestation.. but the Caledonian Pine tree was dominant in the Highlands.

      Hello Gary and thanks for the comments. If you can pop over to Scotland you will always be finding gold many locations like Leadhills, Wanlockhead etc. You could try the river Coquet or the rivers in the Northern Pennines near Nenthead. I would research why the Romans wanted to settle near Vindolanda too (Just a thought) The best thing about prospecting is to try your luck on any nearby river or stream and find the bedrock with cracks in it or where the gravels are covering the bedrock.

      @@martin096 he said "renewable _panning_" -- presumably the idea being that he is panning for fun, not for profit, so the gold is returned to the river so other people can partake in the hobby. The natural processes by which the gold becomes available in the stream bed take much longer than the human processes to extract it so if the gold was not returned it would become depleted at that location and the hobby would be less sustainable.

      I enjoy developing my editing and film making hobby and find the gold prospecting a great subject to work with. For me it's about proving it is there or not. I have received strongly worded replies for showing the tiniest of pieces in other films but to me it's never a waste of time or about finding that £50k nugget. This is my prospecting journey so far and hopefully a few more trips to come. I wouldn't even know who to sell it to. Thanks for the comments and dropping by.

      @@MrDazP1adv3ntures i appreciate that you are just doing what you love but personally i think if you did sell the gold and give it back to the community in which you found it, it would be such a humble thing to do and people would really respect you for it. I dont think it would be to hard to find a buyer. People sell their flakes on ebay.

    Great Video, Theres's something very special about panning in Tyndrum that keeps me going back every year. This makes me want to go back now :-)

      It is an amazing place to walk around and to me every spot looks like it could have a bucket full of gold. This was my first time up here prospecting having cycled past it on my John O' Groats to Land's End and visa Versa bike rides.

    Hi Daz, love the channel and the videos. Extraordinary to see how much you can find. I'm currently saving my gold to forge mine and my partners wedding rings. I'd love to come with you sometime so you can show me the ropes as I am not having much luck! I am aiming to go to Tyndrum in a month or so. Be great to hear from you.

      Hello Jake, it's a great hobby to get into for sure. We all need a bit of patience and some good luck at times. I was planning to be up there as we speak but unfortunately all the best made plans of mice and men springs to mind

    Awesome work bro! You have a lot of the same style when it comes to drone videography as I do! Love it. Sweet adventure and location, and of course the shiny in the pan! Keep it up and thanks for taking us along. New Sub

      Cheers Mayhem P, the drone really adds that little extra touch to the videos when you are trying to tell the story. I use a DJI Crystal monitor for the connection to the drone via a clever little mount which looks really neat.
      I will check your channel out too.

      @@MrDazP1adv3ntures I have never seen that, I'll look into it! But I absolutely agree, not only does it make epic B roll but it lets the viewer really see everything about the location! Heck yeah bro thank you!

    A great little portable wash plant, looks like you found a good amount but there needs to be a weigh in to finish off.

    • @MrDazP1adv3ntures
      @MrDazP1adv3ntures  5 років тому

      I don't normally find enough to weigh to be honest.
      Stay tuned my friend for some extra bits and a weigh in as a part 2.
