Hello, everybody welcomes back to Colter and Zaves awesome adventures in finding gold! I had a subscriber comment that there are not many as many youtube videos on finding gold in Idaho. So that is what I thought I would do. I found Prospector Jesse's video and want to pick up where he left off. Today I will be talking about southern Idaho and the Snake River canyon. First, I will be going over some basic geology in the area and talk about the Yellowstone hotspot that has been bringing the gold to the surface. Then I will speak of the great Bonneville flood, another great event that riped a gouge through the Snake River Plane and left giant piles of gravel in its path. We will look at google earth at a place where these events cross paths, and finally, we will visit the location and take a few samples. - Наука та технологія
First off man. Way to go on your invention that is sweet. Second right on on getting out there and digging in idaho. I'm right up the road. Heavy pans my friend
Great information on finding gold in Idaho it looks like a fun day on the river. Cant wait for that magic bit to arrive.
I've bought some of your products and love them
Neat drone shot of the bruneau canyon overlook!
sweet like the video man I am near swan falls I'll go down there this week and give a couple of tests pants I just started out panning myself so hopefully I find some gold
Very cool,in Boise a few more days it's buetiful! Subbed
I like that invention. Nice.
Nice video! If you are in boise, the Idaho gold prospectors association has a meeting April 13th. You could definitely sell a few of those magnetic drill attachments...super cool. Hopefully I can pick your brain, I go to a local claim near Centreville (miss lucy), getting a little bored of that spot and would love to venture out. Anyways, great vid, keep them coming
Cool thanks
I’m live in the twin falls area and have been searching for a place to mine. Thank you for this!
Any time man!
Your channel is looking good, AUsome!
Awesome location
It sure is
The first place you was at was Murtaugh and you was on private property that's why there was a gate go on up stream to star falls much better than there that's already been mine in 1895
awesome video making skills too ,,
Cool just found your channel! I’m in Boise but only until the end of summer then I’m moving to the east coast. I do prospecting and rock hunting and metal detecting!
do you miss idaho??
@@walliefister6361 yes and no, it had a lot of great places to go outdoors. But nothing to do as far as city life really. I like having lived many different places and being able to have a mix of it all.
Au-some man ,excited to demo the one you sent me up here in ice cold Canada
I'm sold!
Great video. I was wondering where you got your map information? I've been trying to find the information or the program that shows where the mines were, the formations, the contacts, who owns the land, etc. I saw one video where the guy used google earth, but some kind of layer that showed that information. Where do I find that? Thanks!
Awesome video man, yea everyone stay tuned, we got some really exciting prospecting videos in some historic gold mining country here in Idaho and maybe will find some of that golden shiny. Just have to wait till the snow melts. 🤠
Looks like you're having a lot of fun and making a little money doing it to
Nice place - I'm also in the Boise area, I'm just starting to prospect and have only found a couple specs so far, so glad to see some history of why there's gold in the area and what to look for in the gravel banks
No problem man. Hit me up next time you want to get out I'm always looking for like minded folks
I'm in mtn home idaho. I been prospecting for about 4 months now and I've got half a gram so far .I'm in mtn home idaho. Hit me up for sure
I come from southern California an I'm dying to get out on the river an sluice..unfortunately my sluice was stolen an my crowbar too so I gotta get those again before I go out
whats near mountain home @@buffalokrisgoldprospecting
There are bench placers up in the walls of the canyon that are very rich in superfine gold
... Very rich !
thats pretty dope
Way cool dude
Did you ever follow up with video 2?
new here from facebook. im in n idaho
@@MiningMagnets coeur d alene
@@MiningMagnets i work in montana for snap shot ming and milling
Can you drop the coordinates to where all those big boulders are?
Cow magnet works well also
Hey did you keep going to that spot or move on? I'm working down in twin an thought about trying that spot. Worth it?
Great info and well done. What research application are you using? Looks pretty comprehensive. Always looking for more efficient ways to research.
Google Earth I posted another more in depth video on google earth a few months back you should check it out
What map engine is this, please. Paul
How do you know where you can pan or not? Can you just pull off somewhere and start panning or what? Or if there is a claim on the land can you still go in the river? I'm just getting into this all but don't know the rules or laws at alllll...
how about new york ? make a video like this ill do some prospecting with video upstate ny albany area ,,, i wanna open the map for ny even though they say you cant keep it it will still be cool knowing where the gold is ,,, ive found a little here and there already gained a sub thank s prospectors theory Facebook group for helping fellow prospectors find each other ,,
Is this public land? Anyone can pan there?
suggestion; when filming, move the phone/camera slowly. fast movement doesn't allow viewers or the camera to focus or see what you are talking about.
Good morning
How about Owyhee River below the dam for gold?
Nice gold recovery. I was just wondering is that place Public Access or do you have to have a claim there? In Washington I had a really good spot I could go to and find tiny nuggets and some fine gold. But here in Idaho I'm new to this area. This gives me ideas on where to go. Would love to find a public access area I could go to. Cuz I don't have a claim yet.
Pretty much any blm land without a claim is open. Check the diggins website
Ya any place open close to nampa would be nice
@@jeremybarretta5282 I live in Caldwell, ID
I just agreed to purchase 2 50 acre lots in remote Lehmi salmon nat forest. Both have several mines in them. I know nothing about mines and the potential of epa issues. Can you direct me to info or give me a quick overview of what to be concerned about? I want the land for its land not the mines but I dont wabt to be stuck with a toxic clean up.
Is there any water Coming out of those mines
How or where can I get a magic bit at ??

Good job. Snake river gold is very fine. Go to home Depot get a plastic wash tub works better when panning. I'm 6 generation Idaho and Oregon territory. First we're you were has already been dredged that river is loaded. But it's so fine. Milner and perine had a dredge in late 1800s. Blue lakes golf course is it's tailings all the canal's in twinfalls dug by milner not corps of engineers. Or blm. That's minidoka. Milner was totally private. And milner dam. I know. I built the new one. Now gold is my hobby. Bonanza bar was a town and gold strike. Across from Coldwater just downstream from massacre rocks. You can see were the dredge first dug into raft river then proceeded through Gifford springs. All the islands in river. Are tailings from 3 bucket dredges. Pard. They only recovered 08% of what they had on their tables. 92%went right back in the river. They would use potato sacks and coat them with mercury. The gold perine got built twinfalls the gold milner got fed the farms. And you forgot evil kenivel he tried to jump the river were your at. And get a little drege. And go up to power house below milner the boil holes. Suck them out. You'll get mason jars full. The water bored holes in the basalt. I tell you all this so you can get you some. My days are numbered now. But this has been my hobby for 50 years I'm 64. Go have fun. And beware. That rivers loaded with platinum big vein of it in the wapi flow. Sheepherders used to bring in pie pan size chunks of it. I know my valley history. I was taught it by original settlers
Awesome comment. Thank you for this information. If you don't mind send me an email at Colter@colteryoung.com I'd love to chat on the phone some time
Sir my family has 120 acres on snake river by glengarry and twin falls .any information on this area gold or platinum would be greatly aperciated.thank you for any help
Glenns ferry
My father grew up glen's ferry in 40s and 50s had the fastest horse in glens ferry
@@charlesuhl7430 Glenn's ferry I'm not sure of. How far the fine gold goes down. But one way to find out is go to the river and pann some. Remember it's very fine. Use your jet dry in your panning tub. Go slow. Fine gold is not chunky gold. It's better to work alot of sand over a shaker table. Mount Baker mining has videos and "ask Jeff Williams" is a very good source on learning this hobby. Both have a great free library on you tube. And gold is everywhere you just have to know what your looking for. Good luck. And have fun. Who knows. You may strike it rich. And always respect the land. Don't leave holes.
Are you into hard rock mines I have a claim I would love to have someone look at
Yeah I can take a look. Send me an email colter@colteryoung.com
Ya my dog ran off!
@17:21 Getting ready for war with Iran? HAHA
Why would you presume that was an illegal mining operation ? It may have been private ground at one point or it may have been a permitted operation if it's public ground.
@@MiningMagnets ya I have been down there. It is messed up and lots of equipment remnants. If you look up the claims data you'll find that the land has been registered for mining just East of there but not ever for the area shown that I could find
I come from the east fork river in southern California I moved to nampa n I'm dying to sluice a river
There are tons of places out here to dig!
This guy!, and his Boyfriend .. Make me sick..
