- The sun was shining and summer was here at last on this trip to the river today. The crystal clear waters made for a great session as I sampled the gravels in search of Scottish gold.
My name is MrDazP1 and this is the gold prospecting and Gold Panning corner of my channel.
If you are new to gold panning or are wanting to find some gold in the UK, then I hope my videos give you an insight into what it is all about

Good job. Gold aside, I like how you put your videos together. 👍🏻
Thank you kindly Trevor, I try tell the story and hope that my videos inspire new people to this great hobby 👍
Nice bit of gold and a fantastic vid nice one for sharing DAZ P1 👏👍
Thanks Chambochambers. I didn't start sluicing until about 2:30pm on this session so all in all it was a fair pan for the amount of work I put in.
Yeah daz good to see you back out panning,
Thanks Robert, I have a few trips out now and I must admit I have missed it
Great video Daz! Atb Chris
Thanks Chris, much appreciated 👌
Short travelled gold ftom the look of it. Nice work.
There was a lot of wire gold in the pan and even the tiny pieces looked course with the lens on full macro.
You found some beautiful spots there 👍
I stumbled upon it Steve and thought it was worth a prospect
As always, another great production from Daz......nothing more exciting than anticipation on what's below your feet.
Yes that's right, you just never know what kind of day you will have, but with the sun shining and blue skies, it makes for a good one either way 👍
Great episode like the prices at the start beautiful place 👍👍🙏
Cheers Pollatso. It is nice little spot to spend the afternoon for sure 👍
Nice work and gold from Skotland keep on ❤ 🇩🇰
Cheers BoJohansen and thank you for commenting my friend 👍
Great video and clear water to pan or pump!
Sure thing James. The water was exceptionally clear on this day.
Some nice gold there Daz
I was happy with the pan full of small gold on this session given the relatively short session I had at the river buddy
Great video Daz, I’ve been taking your advice and processing some more gravels and it’s paying off. Thank you 🥷
Nice one, I'm sure you will find a wee nugget on your travels and adventures buddy. Watch out for the gold fever though...
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures oh it’s got me hooked, wishing my weekdays away to just get out in the highlands at the weekend. Nice wee spot you found there, pity you didn’t have your sniping gear.
Looks a nice spot , happy days 👍
It's got some potential. I just need to keep searching around this area pal.
Enjoyable as ever👍
Thank you JonesTJ...👍
Nice video MrDaz! That's a great location, clear water, blue sky and some yellow Scottish gold in the sun - can't be beaten! :o)
There's quite a fair bit of consistent small gold on this spot with odd bigger piece.
I'll settle for that 👍
man looks like you had a piece of the rarest red in there as well ;)
There's all kinds of material in the hills around here 🙂👍
Long time since i seen one of your videos buddy av been busy since moving bk to Manchester from Doncaster got plenty of catching up to do on your videos cracking first video to watch in ages plenty of shiny stuff .
All the best with your move to sunny Manchester.
I've had a few trips out to the rivers this year and really enjoyed the peace and quiet that you get with gold panning.
If only the river Irwell had gold in it 👍🙂
I moved bk about 3 years ago buddy we used to talk on your channel my old youtube name was Aaron Kelly until i changed it when i launched my own youtube food review channel you will remember me as Aaron buddy@@MrDazP1adv3ntures
Ok, yes, no worries. How's the channel developing
Rome wasn't built in a day my friend steady slow growth buddy ,editing was hard to learn cos i am a tech dinosaur 😂@MrDazP1adv3ntures
@Thefatfoodiemcr editing can be extremely time consuming. It has to be part of the hobby for it to work in my opinion
awesome show. Thats more gold than I have got from 3-4 weeks in leadhills
It's a funny old place up there. I have met people with show cases full of nuggets but I guess you need to be a local and keep clearing the same spot until it's just bedrock.
Bike or no bike, massively entertaining and always worth the watch. Hope you’re doing okay Daz and like most of us, trying to enjoy the summer as best we can. 😎👍
Hi Steve, I enjoy filming, what ever the subject. It's trying to tell the story that can be the tricky part.
I have a day off today so me and Mike will probably head out towards Bolton Abbey .
Nice day for it...
Love it!!! Thank you mate 😊👍
You're welcome Andy 👍
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures do you remember when you set out to prove there was no gold anywhere in the UK? 😂 Your like a gold magnet 🧲 these days!
I admire your enthusiasm Andy. I know that there are so many prospectors out there, who find much bigger pieces but all I can do Is to try my best and keep on searching..
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures and thats what makes your channel awesome.... you're a very humble guy daz. Keep them uploads coming mate.... please 😁
Will do Andy, I am working on another one right now !👌
Bet the fish love the stirred up sediment and bugs! Tennesee here,USA,not many places to even fish streams like we did as kids,landowners even call troopers for kids fishing off bridges in land we waded streams to fish in growing up in 100 degrees to cool off,nothing built near then,now fences block everybody,cameras,etc! Huge Lakes still open but not as fun as kids like to explore,lol!
There are some nice looking fish in this river but it has been heavily polluted over the centuries from mining. Mind you with it being Scotland, there's plenty of bugs like you say .
Lovely spot daz🫡
It certainly was buddy, peaceful too. 👍
ah, nothing quite like the site of the AU on a black pan under the sun😎👍
I totally agree, I can look at the good stuff for ages. It's mesmerizing !
Nice one Daz 😊
Thanks Buddy, it's nice to have a bit of fun every now and then 👍🌞
Daz think I need help with some bits great video matey love it 👌
Hi Jay, tell me more...
@MrDazP1adv3ntures I don't want to say to much on comment daz you on Facebook matey but just a little bit what I want to ask is about Scotland and the equipment I have daz. will explain more at some point thanks for your reply 👍 keep the hard work up daz.
If thats Tyndrum, im heading up on Friday
Best of luck buddy and let us know how you get on 👍
Would like to see a weight up video at the end
Hi Bobby, Unfortunately I never got the opportunity on this trip as I just went panning every day and put all of my finds into a separate snuffer bottle after taking the final pan pics. In fact I need to empty it out now ready for my next visit to a river.
Very pretty country,do you know Callum from Scottish gold,get lots of that shiny!
Yes I do know him, albeit from his videos on UA-cam. He has persevered at it for a few years now and has got his just rewards
Really interested in taking our little boy out panning in the lake district. We live in the lakes. Just wondering if there are any permits or rules we need to follow. Permission? Otherwise can we just go have a go with a pan. I know of a few good locations eastern and central lakes, in the volcanic groups and quartz zones.
Where ever possible I would seek permission but that can be easier said than done.
Personally, I'd go for a picnic and find a lovely quiet spot where nobody will bother you and you are out of site and out of mind.
You may see the odd sign stipulating no fishing, but never no panning - unless you are in certain parts of Wales.
Thank you for the advice 😊 I was thinking something like that might be the best approach. Just come across your channel, probably going to watch a few episodes. Thanks
@tomwestley5487 cheers Tom.
Leadhills is just an hour or so north of the Lakes and you can get a permit for there
Did you way the gold for the day? If so would you mind saying how much it weighed … great video as always
Hi Chris I did not way the gold, in fact I tend to leave it in the snuffer bottle in my back pack and then realise what I have done when I go out on my next trip. It wouldn't have been much though as all I need is just enough visible gold in the pan to make a video.
lucky 💎
We all live in hope 👍
Hi m8 u rember tgat spot well did you find tvat from one of my videos lol well in daz
Hi PD, how are you first and foremost 🙂.
If you've worked this spot, I'd never have known or guessed buddy.
Are you still getting out and about....
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures hi Mr Daz. Yep I'm good now , had cancer for the second time. I've no been out for 17 month but I'm getting better all the time thanks ,yeah we leave no trace Mr d . that's the Cumbria corner ,holds nice gold but it's no the best place for the dredge .I've been on every burn up there my friend, up and round the corner to the left holds good gold but again a bit too exposed for the pirates . Well in Mr d .it really is the gem of that area .I wish you all the luck in the world my friend keep digging and you'll get the bigger shiny Arrrr
@piratedredger1857 wishing you good health PD.
It just takes years of prospecting and learning, as you know I am still an apprentice at this game. But thanks for the reply.
Hopefull your strength will return to where you will be able enjoy doing the things you love 👍
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thanks Mr d ,I'd day your well past an apprentice old boy lol ,your s good man Mr d and I wish you all the best in your endeavours Arŕrr
Arrrgh
Sniping,you get any nuggets? Biggest?
There are nuggets in the UK and most places have been exploited by the Romans and the old timers before our modern era old timers.
I think that some of the better pieces are found with metal detectors over here and the locations are never really shared.
This area can still produce descent pickers and nuggets, but you have to keep working the sections and going back to them time and time again, leaving no stone unturned.
I have sniped a few times and the pieces do get better 👍
Great hobby in nice weather but how much an hour are you making with the gold you find? Seems a hell of an effort for not alot of gold. Hope you get a huge nugget sometime 😂
Hi Puffball, it's one of them hobbies where the reward is the sense of adventure it gives you.
Even on good days, I dare say you could find a handsome amount of gold that would have some potential value.
I just love filming my time spent at the river and telling the story 🙂👍
@MrDazP1adv3ntures I met a guy panning on the hills at Loch Rannoch said he got enough gold for a wedding ring pretty cool story didn't say how many years he had been at it 😄
@Puffball-ll1ly These are proper stories my friend, most people will try to find enough gold to make a wedding band with and I find this such a romantic way of making your own ring.
Every gram of gold was earned from blood, sweat and tears and will mean so much more to the people who chose this method of declaring a true union with a partner.👍👍👍👍
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures absolutely 💯
Great job but I bet the river is privately owned estate so I hope you’re handing gold over
Right…🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It can be a grey area. The land owner may not own the river. The river authority may not have the rights to the minerals. That is why sustainable prospecting is key. Throw it back once you have found it, ready for the next person .

Hi Jbss, it's such a grey area. The land owner may not own the river. The river owner may not own the land. Neither may own the mineral rights. It's a good job that I always put the gold back to keep the hobby sustainable 👍
Glad to hear but just for the sake of honesty ive reported this vid to the police and national trust of scotland. @@MrDazP1adv3ntures
