I absolutely respect and appreciate the fact that you are not loading the pans with gold but instead, you are giving us a genuine depiction of what's actually found. So many videos are questionable these days, it's refreshing to see someone get real life results for a change.
I make these videos not only for entertainment but also for a personal archive of what I have done. So yeah, messing with the results would just be messing with myself. No need for that.
Oh Yes The Susquehanna. The grossest moving body of water. Fun to metal detect the banks from Pittston to Wilkes-Barre. All sorts of madness is in those waters.
Live along the Susquehanna river a little south of there near Pittston. One fun fact I recently learned that kinda blew my mind, The Susquehanna river is like the 3rd oldest river in the world!
I lived in NEPA for 13 years (Wyalusing). You need to read up on the glacial ressession. Glacial Drift gold is bigger and was dropped by receeding glaciers, I did more detecting than any thing else.Shoe buckles, buttons are the usual finds. Colonial residents stashed their money to pay the Kings Taxes. Mostly bartering was done for needed items.I did find a musket ball (around 70 caliber.). A lot of old basements to be detected. don't forget to detect the walls too.
That picture you have up @ 8:59 after that they actually grow wings and fly 😳😳 I call them “clippers” because of the clipper on the front lol I love to turn rocks over and catching them and crawfish for fishing! Best bait for river fishing!
I had a camper by the susquehanna in Wyalusing Pa! Just north of where you are! There was an old telephone pole that was loose and I would shake that out ole side to side and watch the night crawlers come up from the ground from the vibration lol
Thank you for your informational videos. My favorite are the yard sales mainly because we were always going to yard sales with mom. I miss seeing little Timber in your videos. 🙃
Try the convergence of Peters Creek & Puddle Duck Creek in Peach Bottom PA. That's in the very southern part of Lancaster County. The gold there is mostly fine but also pin shaped bits. It comes from decaying granite. Parking is pretty easy and close to the convergence, which is near a small bridge. Bring a sluice box if you have one, as the water flow and Creek depth is conducive to this method.
my hometown thanks for being respectful to it also please be careful when it rises that boat launch area gets covered in water fast then also its a very gross river that is shallow
I could show you some decent Pa spots; I don't dig the Susquehanna River itself, ( too much dead And Stinky stuff), but I do dig the tributaries 👀‼️more Gold in PA than you Think 🤔‼️( and, yes, that was a Helgramite)👌
I have rock hounding issues, I would stop and look at so many rocks, I have fossils and giant rocks with crystals I collected all over on shelves, surrounding my tv etc. I can't wait to go back to the Catskills and hunt more fossils and gems. I have got disabled a few years ago that's why I watch your videos a lot, can't do much else at times and other times I am great. IDK
Ha flesh that's so awesome you were in my town I'm always on the creeks panning for gold the creeks feed into the river and to answer your questions you can go on to the bed rock you can park up at the turn off by the road then just walk down to the river there's a few paths
Love the PA vides I drive that bridge a few times a week. I live on two creeks that dump into your 11 minute creek vid from last week. We have flour gold in it as we panned it a bit last year. If you,are still in the area and want to make another vid before you move on you are welcome to come pan our two creeks hit me up.
Hey that was a nice shot throwing the strainer and landing it right in the bucket I saw that just before changed to a different clip love watching you pan and stuff I live in northern Michigan and always wonder if there's gold in the rivers or streams
@@Klesh Oh by the way I've been a long time watcher of your channel i've learned a lot from you matter of fact you'll get a kick out of this i'm building my own gold sluice box out of some aluminum paint trays the aluminum bucket screens for roller pans and I bought a kitchen carpet that'll be like my miners moss it's going to be pretty cool and it'll be all collapsible and fit in a backpack
I clicked to watch because it said PA, and then you end up panning 15mins from my house! Small world 😮 That road opposite of your first spot is a dead end road and people DO fish on that bedrock so there is access somewhere there
Im in indiana Pennsylvania. Hey so when you find gold in a Pa spot, like ya said, its always sooo fine. We have such old gold here, theres ALOT of it, but its micron gold and like you found, some slightly bigger, but itd be cool to see how you'd do if you bring a small wash tub and use a decent surfactant. As you know, its so fine that if you're getting any gold to stay in the pan, youd have waaaay more ifnya broke that surface tension.
Awesome PA videos I am in York county PA the Susquehanna down this way is suppose to have decent gold to and upper part of the county. If you get back to PA and want to come this way would like to meet have creeks to prospect and land we could metal detect.
I was out at my wee stream the other day and went further up for maybe better sized gold but no luck. Dug down a few feet to what felt like bedrock.. It was under muddy water so couldn't see. Anyway didn't find any gold so bit of a pisser... Maybe next time
that bedrock is very EZ to get to you where looking at the wrong spot to get down there , you need to walk down the roadway along guardrail on the right side just pass by the speed limit sign area , there is a very nice Pathway to the bedrock there , have to step over the guardrail to the pathways ,
@@Klesh did you walk down the roadway by the Comfort Inn , the pathway is right a cross from there , people go fishing there , have you seen my UA-cam Short video of some of the bed rock there , look for this video in my short feed , BEDROCK ON THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER , i will try to post the link to it .
I do have a little jar of gold that I have collected from each state and country. I keep it all separate. Eventually I'll probably make something out of it or just keep it in the little jars it's kind of a cool display.
@@Klesh That's awesome. Is there better gold more south of me? I thought I was in the gold country up here. I honestly haven't found one speck. I have been out many times and came back empty every time. If you are ever up this way it would be an honor to go prospecting with you. Have a awesome day. I was asking about the rings cause I have some of my dad's gold that he found prospecting and I wanted to make a ring and I really don't trust shops. I thought you might make your own jewelry
The Rhine River in Germany I know does have some nice gold deposits. As far as the Netherlands, I know there is plenty of waterways, but I could not tell you if there's gold. You can check for historical gold mining , or go try panning it yourself good luck!
may be worth taking protective clothing out with you some long nitryl gloves that come up the arms.. last thing you need is to be getting some bugs from bad water.. :)
Thanks for your comment! Actually, responsible gold prospecting can benefit trout by improving water flow and habitat through gravel movement, plus it often involves cleaning up trash and even poisonous mercury left behind in streams. By following sustainable practices, we help preserve the environment and protect local wildlife.
I live in Colorado near some decent gold bearing areas, but have a few California, Alaska, BC Canada and even a few further west (planetary speaking) in Australia and Japan doing gold prospecting. Yes much bigger gold is west for sure 👍
how much gold was really in the creeks and rivers in california when prospectors first got there in the late 1840's? did they really just pick large nuggets out of the water all over the place? some say the first people found it everywhere ? please tell me what you know.
It's true. For example here in Colorado (not far from my house) in the 1850's a guy found a quarter ounce in his first pan in Raulston creek (a place called gold strike park) I have a video on it here. That's crazy to think about, and a good reason to keep looking for gold. They didn't get it all
@@Klesh thanks for your reply ! do you ever dream about walking up to an unknown creek and finding hundreds of gold nuggets each to be picked up with your fingers and filling a gallon bucket, and then wake up to find it was all just a dream; bummer. i do. maybe one day if we keep searching!
York PA has some excellent gold as well. I still need to visit that area and make a video showing it. This is all the way up in Tunkhannock Pennsylvania, quite a ways bit north
Hey Shane, have you seen Walmart’s online store sells gold bars, silver bars, ancient coins, wrapped “all” silver coins and various other shenanigans. Do you think that stuff is legit? Might make a new video debunk series?
@@Klesh exactly. They had krugerrands and Spanish Real coins along with tons of old silver. Seems really odd. I think it would be cool to see if it’s real or not.
Can you use an electric powered sluice ? By “motor” do they mean a gas powered motor ? Dan Hurd, I imagine him that guy with his legs in air yelling “get offa my claim !”
Why is the gold so little and fine ??? And we’re are the bigger chunks hiding is the question anyone got the answer ?? The big chunks got to be somewhere ??
The gold found here is glacial till, meaning it's been ground up into fine dust over tens of thousands of years, brought down by the glaciers. Check my previous video to learn more
I'll be honest I haven't watched in months because you started uploading re-uploaded videos with no clear indication so I just stopped weeding those out to find real uploads

That smell is not rotting organic matter, it is in fact sewage.😊
Oh Yes The Susquehanna. The grossest moving body of water. Fun to metal detect the banks from Pittston to Wilkes-Barre. All sorts of madness is in those waters.
Im loving these PA vids. Im excited to get out there and try my luck
Good luck!
Great day out there fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Ive live between York and Harrisburg all my life an alot of it near yorkhaven that right off the river edge. Fished that river alot.
That’s one of the best sections of the river there is, clean and loaded with smallmouth
Live along the Susquehanna river a little south of there near Pittston. One fun fact I recently learned that kinda blew my mind, The Susquehanna river is like the 3rd oldest river in the world!
That’s hilarious. I remember you and Pauly on the Pinkerton claim video but not knowing who you were. Full circle complete.
That's such a beautiful part of the country.

Love this sort of prospecting klesh gold is awesome
Nice to see u doing gold panning videos again

Thanks, and Timber will be in more videos of course 👍
Another great episode
Very nice brother Shane! Pa Rocks Bro!! JJ

That’s the falls bridge😂 nice to see locals online
Should come to Williamsport
Pretty awesome...yep, I've found gold on the Susquehanna, too...
Not the kind of gold to pay off a house, but it's all about the journey👍🇺🇸
Peter's creek and the SusQ in southern Lancaster Co is rumored to have some glacial placer deposits
Great panning job. I think it's time for you to walk through a car wash now. Hey, better safe then infected! 😮😳🤪😒
Good idea
I'm in Delaware, we have no gold, no mountains ...just beach detecting. Beautiful river spot there, worth every penny.
There’s gold in them thar hills !
my hometown thanks for being respectful to it also please be careful when it rises that boat launch area gets covered in water fast then also its a very gross river that is shallow
Decent flour gold between Redhill dam and Bainbridge on the Susquehanna.
2:44 has Minecraft not taught you anything!? Never dig straight down! Lol great vid shane

I lived in the Catskills for a few years (mid 2000's) hiked everyone and yes the geology is pretty amazing up there! Thanks for watching
Klesh was military?? I love him even more now
US Army 782MSB (rigger) 82nd abn div, after 911 re-classed to 12B combat engineer
I too have spent most of my life in NEPA and had no idea there was gold here.
I’m originally from Tunkhannock I currently live in upstate NY n miss PA
Still a nice place, i lived in the Catskills a few years in the mid 00's
Ha flesh that's so awesome you were in my town I'm always on the creeks panning for gold the creeks feed into the river and to answer your questions you can go on to the bed rock you can park up at the turn off by the road then just walk down to the river there's a few paths
I tried, it was way too overgrown with poison ivy for me. Wearing shorts. Ill try again in winter
I've read that dillsburg, pa area is a decent place for prospecting
Love the PA vides I drive that bridge a few times a week.
I live on two creeks that dump into your 11 minute creek vid from last week.

that is a really rugged looking vehicle
It gets me from A to B no problem
Hey that was a nice shot throwing the strainer and landing it right in the bucket I saw that just before changed to a different clip love watching you pan and stuff I live in northern Michigan and always wonder if there's gold in the rivers or streams
Yeah there is gold in northern Michigan, upper peninsula as well as the top of the mitten
@@Klesh i live in traverse city Michigan . have you herd of it
@@Ellis157 I have heard of it but never been there.

Damm dude I wish I knew you were there. I’m from Pittston and I go to that spot all the time with my dog.. rite at the falls bridge.
It's an awesome place !
I love that spot I’d go with you sometime
Nice shiny Shane liberate all gold brother
I clicked to watch because it said PA, and then you end up panning 15mins from my house! Small world 😮
That road opposite of your first spot is a dead end road and people DO fish on that bedrock so there is access somewhere there
Good to know 👍 I walked down that road and it was overgrown pretty high with poison ivy. Maybe easier from the other side of the bridge.
Regulations? We don't need no stinking regulations 😂😂.
nice guitar in the back round i play 2
Awesome 👍 I'm no good at playing, but I build these guitars. You can see the build process on my other channel kleshguitars if you're interested
A day panning is always better then a day at work
Got that right!
Have a picture of a stream that is run off in Delco pa. Wondering if it's worth the effort or not
Will have to rewatch that one. I like Dan too, are you two thinking about doing more videos too.
We are always up for making videos together, although we live a few thousand miles apart.

I find my gold up towards Benton and the loyal creek I’m gonna prospect the Lycoming Creek next
Must be gold somewhere, cause u got a very nice truck.

About to have thorastic surgery,... Thanks mate.
Lee, Liverpool.

Just picturing the scene from Parks and Rec. "I have a permit"
That show is great 👍
Aquachigger (Beau Ouimette) lives nearby and he would have told you exactly where to try!
The Chigg!
@@Klesh That’s the one!
"smells like a mix of dead fish and sewage but it's probably....." As someone who lives near the Susquehanna, no it's dead fish and sewage.
Your in my back yard never new
I had a friend in the Navy from Wind Gap.
Hahaha we're you panning where they had the raw sewage release? Hahahaha

@@Klesh I saw that you had been up there right after I posted the comment 🤣 it's fun watching the different ways of panning
Thank you xoxox pa gold to far how about closer to hermitage pa shanango river
Trust me a 2 hour drive is a short commute for people to find gold. Especially out here in the west.
Since you're right there it might be worth it to check out the Lackawanna River. Lots of bedrock.
Good call!
I see ppl fishing all the time over there. must be a trail down to the river.
It's a road that goes down to the water. It's a cool place
Another great video! I was wondering if you make rings with the gold you find ?
I do have a little jar of gold that I have collected from each state and country. I keep it all separate. Eventually I'll probably make something out of it or just keep it in the little jars it's kind of a cool display.

You could put a kayak or canoe in and go across to that bedrock...
Something with a motor would be perfect
Question can I find gold in the rivers of the Netherlands? We got a river called Dinkel it's on the border of Germany and the Netherlands.

I've been fishing and even swimming in this river since I was a kid, I'm probably immune
Water is fine here. Lots of smallmouth bass and huge muskies on the north side of that bridge

Wellsville PA has god. But I don’t think they let anyone dig for it. PA is funny about there water ways.
Apparently you haven't heard. Gold has been discovered at Sutter's Mill California. Go west young man, go west.
I live in Colorado near some decent gold bearing areas, but have a few California, Alaska, BC Canada and even a few further west (planetary speaking) in Australia and Japan doing gold prospecting. Yes much bigger gold is west for sure 👍
Yes, “Metal” is the way to go. I prefer Mercyful Fate, Slayer, Exodus, Holocaust, Iron Maiden (with Paul DiAnno) metal. ;)

is the club in lightstreet still active?
I have no idea
Hey Shane, have you seen Walmart’s online store sells gold bars, silver bars, ancient coins, wrapped “all” silver coins and various other shenanigans.
Do you think that stuff is legit?
Might make a new video debunk series?
I'll take a look. But it's Walmart, if it's fake just return it.
@@Klesh exactly. They had krugerrands and Spanish Real coins along with tons of old silver. Seems really odd. I think it would be cool to see if it’s real or not.
I live in North East md and don’t have anything to do, if anyone wants to pan or need a travel friend I’m good to go anytime anywhere,
Can you use an electric powered sluice ? By “motor” do they mean a gas powered motor ? Dan Hurd, I imagine him that guy with his legs in air yelling “get offa my claim !”
They've had some releases of raw sewage recently.
Makes sense. Good thing I washed my hands after this video!
The rules in my state are very unclear. It’s hard to pan anywhere here
One way around there laws lol is usen solar power panels because is not electric at all it's sun powered
Nice try, This is Democratically controlled Pa. They would find a way to ding you.
Why is the gold so little and fine ??? And we’re are the bigger chunks hiding is the question anyone got the answer ?? The big chunks got to be somewhere ??

Yeah I totally should've brought one. Next time
It's 444 miles long
Paddle in....
37th 👍 Hi Klesh!!!
Isn’t the constitution the ultimate permit? 🤔
Probably will be glowing from playing in that waters because of three mile island nuclear plants 😂😂😂😂
I'll be honest I haven't watched in months because you started uploading re-uploaded videos with no clear indication so I just stopped weeding those out to find real uploads
Thanks for watching! I uploaded extended versions of my gold panning videos due to the results of a poll I ran here on UA-cam.
What so your telling me I can walk across the street to the Susquhanna River and find gold.
