    Hi Chigger. I agree on a catch pan mainly from watching other yt vids and tryin it a bit myself. They say it will float. The tension on the water. A drop of soap or jet dry breaks the tension. Especially with fine and flakes. Thank you for sharing your trip with us. It's always informative and enjoyable to go along on your expeditions!

    I have lived in Alaska for 28 yrs and heard all the gold story's but myself I didn't want to get the "gold fever" as they say. Great vids very few ppl will ever get to experience that area of my great State of Alaska. I have been in Nome a few times but in the winter for the dog races.

    Where I go in Tennessee the water barrels down through the mountains and blows most of the material right off the bedrock. Makes for some very exciting crevicing and hotspot panning. I'm not much on digging 2-3 feet through muck and burden.

      Heart of Dixie Relic Hunting i didn't mean it in a bad way. I'm subcribed to his channel also. but with him being a young man and cute to boot, here in the south we can call gentleman like him a little man. He is a god lobing, sweet, sinceable, young man with alot going for him, I'm 53 yrs old and i love him and my buddy Chigg alot. so it wasn't mean to be name calling. Just an old southern woman yaking. Cool!❤😜😇

    Maybe you can join one of those programs, where they always get a Machine broke, and one of them has to go all the way into the city to buy new parts. which costs them around 10k$. Then they get the gold they folded up for the month or so. Then they barely break even. Funny programs though.

They spend half the season getting the stuff back up and going, then work 24 hr days at the end to make up for it, smh. I'd spend some of those ounces on prevention if it were my operation, but that's boring TV. ; )
