    Haha dragonfly on the nose is for sure good luck!

    You're methodology of working crevices and your tool selection is spot on.
    Maybe it was a dragonfly of knowledge? Lol.
    Keep it up and that nugget will come. Remember bits of gold start their life as much bigger bits. Follow the chunks up stream.

    • @PioneerPauly
      @PioneerPauly  7 років тому +2

      Lol I like puns! But yes that's a simple but very good point (they start as bigger chunks). This weekend I'll be going to a killer old timer gold rush spot thats a few miles upstream on a friends claim so I cannot wait for that! Thanks for the kind words cheers

      Your dragonfriend was cool Paulie and you handled it well, but frickin bears? Come to Australia and you don’t have to worry about Bears 😇, we have more dangerous critters in our back yard, come see!

    Just got a whole new respect for you man. Dragonflies are a damn good judge of character better than a dog. Dogs that walk up to anybody to get there a scratch, the dragonfly. On the other hand will only land on good people. I'm glad you realize that.

    You were so blessed to have the dragonfly land on you! They are a symbol of longevity and the only insect that can see as we see. So, he was looking at you and seeing you as we see one another. Other than their size, they are unchanged from the Carboniferous period. Lucky you.😊

    Take some Kaolin & Morphine with you next time, it's like sticking a cork up your arse mate. You won't need the loo for hours, works a treat believe you me (not that I've ever stuck a cork up my backside lol). Don't know if you can get it in North America and over on your side of the pond (Atlantic) it might be called something else, but it works great if you have an upset tummy and you need to stop it. A little British gold prospectors tip for you! :)

    Is this a claim of yours? I am trying to educate myself on recreational panning and what you can do without owning a claim and the tools you are allowed to use. Says only a shovel and a pan. No sniping tools for crevicing? I just want to cover my ass if I go out somewhere and start digging around. I went on the MTO BC site as well. Some things Im still unclear about. Anyway, love the vids. Keep it up!

    • @PioneerPauly
      @PioneerPauly  5 років тому +1

      Well to be honest, technically everything in BC reguarding mining is illegal. The only ones you need to be concerned about is sluicing (although never actually inforced), dredging, and escivating with machines in the riparian zone. This particular spot was on an open panning reserve however it was also before I knew any rules. Ive done a lot if research in hand pumps too and its definately legal. I got in contact with the "top" person reguarding it, and even they dont really know.. Your pretty safe to go anywhere and do anything non mechanical as long as its not on a claim or in a park lol. I can go so much further into it but better if you email 👊

    • @mclarke75
      @mclarke75 5 років тому

      Ya thanks! All good. I have read as well you cant use hand pumps in the water but you can out of it. Maybe that is if you are just recreation panning but on your claim u can. So much to learn but I love the process. I might buy a claim behind summerland where I live just for fun. I do own a sluice but learned after that i cant run it in the creek. lol. Anyway, keep it up! Thanks for getting back to me. @@PioneerPauly
