Just clicked on the video, then hit subscribe within 3 minutes of the start. Your knowledge and enthusiasm makes you worth watching. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Joe thank you for taking the time to explain how to pan and look for gold. I won’t lie though, you have a voice made for broadcasting. Very comforting and enjoyable to listen to. You have yourself a Canadian fan.
hahah i watched the minute and a half vid you guys put up for sug 14 and thought now Joe is meesing with me..as i'm begging him to put out more vids he teases me with 1 minute and a half lol...awesome watching yall get the gold and very educational also..thanks from a vivid watcher who loves the outdoors and of course that precious metal with golden color!
I grew up in Northwest of Montana, in the crown of the Rockies. I'm actually baffled why there isn't more efforts to find more mineral deposits. I know the geology in that part of the Rockies is very conducive to mineralization which usually leads to quartz, pyrite and of course gold formations.
Did you'll know you can turn your phone into a metal detector with a free app? I have it on my phone. Go to google play store. It works pretty good too. Also you can get a compos app. Will tell you if your heading north or south. E or W.
This is a interesting channel, I like your relaxed pace and knowledge. Make's being stuck at home after falling down the stairs a bit more bearable. I'm in one of the area's of the UK with a LITTLE Gold (Wales), never given panning a go but I might have a crack in some of the streams I know with obvious Quartz veins.
I always water bucket the high and dry cracks. Umteen times I'd find nuggets stuck in cracks covered with just enough debris to make them invisible. I'm not talking dinkers and clinkers, I'm talking clunkers.
Hey Joe looks like ya finally found some virgin ground! How long were ya looking for it? I have a place i go but they dont allow u to dig up on the banks or higher. Im using a detector to hopefully find a spot like you did.! Im pushing it but im not causing any harm. I fill back my holes and i know ill hit a pay streak one day! Thanks for your time and effort to show us who havent found the honey hole yet.!
I have been able to find some nice chunks before in my pan...just like he did...but I was going through an area that had been stripped down by a big company years ago with equipment but they still left alittle of dirt in a few place on top of the bedrock that I was able to scrape off the hard work had been done years before and I just happened to luck out a bit with the info on why the area had been cleared
#Tank Soldier, You can't get out any more honey? I'm so sorry to hear that. I was bed ridden for 5 years. Had my hip replaced. What's going on with you? If you don't mind me asking? About 4 months ago I was in a coma from double pneumonia. I came out of the coma after a couple weeks. I couldn't move from my neck down. Had a machine breathing for me. I'm still learning how to physically do everything again. I was like a new baby with an adult mind. Couldn't talk or nothing. I spent 2 months in a special hospital where they worked me 6 hours a day to get me functioning again. The hardest part was sitting up by myself. The worse part was having to be fed like a baby, and walking with a walker for a month. If you need to talk you can come to my channel and leave me a message in one of my playlists. Just remember to use a hash tag and my name, so I will get a notification. Okay I'm on here every day. We can chat anytime you need someone to talk too. 🐘 🤝 😊
Good video, but I think you need to work a bit on your panning technique. In the beginning its wayyyy to vigorous and you are probably losing a big % of gold out of the pan. Stratify does NOT mean shaking all the water out of the pan. It means get everything very very wet. Just FYI. Lucky to get a huge piece like that. Every prospectors dream.
Thanks for the gold and the chance to watch you get it. My father made a gas operated sluce bed for going through quanities of river sand and rock it would probably work fine on what your doing it had a pump and a shaker box it shook in two directions. powered by a briggs and stratton lawn mower engine I have the plans for it which I could find. I have never gotten the gold fever myself but for a few months he sure loved to run through the sand and black sand got himself about 2 oz of flower from about 2/3 rds of a 55 gallon drum that they got from the marias river south of shelby. I'll sub to you and if your interested maybe i'll find the plans duplicate them for you and if your a aluminum welder you can copy it and use it to find alot more gold.
Man , !!! That was a great day , I wish go there and spend all week long , I telling you , I'm here in Atlanta Georgia and the gold here is almost nothing , I want to go there and hunt for nice nugget , will be really good !!! I'm a gold prospect but I find nothing like you , wow, wow ,
I was just watching this because I never met my grandpa. He died just after I was born. Spent his whole life digging and panning in the hills and on the old river beds. I like to imagine who he was when he was young. I have his pick and his pan and his scales and a copy of an old newspaper advertisement from the1920’s looking for a female to “cook” for four men in a mining camp. Haha.
Alright Joe, send me an invite and ill bring a couple dredges and highbankers :) If your finding that much gold with a pan just imagine with equipment.
Has anyone given you the hint about using a drop or three of dishwasher "jet dry" in you pan to keep the surface tension down? Pssst, use a drop or three of "jet dry" in your pan to keep the surface tension down. 😉 P.S. those big honkers are worth more as specimens than the value of their weight. Man o man you find some nice gold! Sure would love to come and break my back diggin with ya!!
I'm new to panning, well I've been learning what I can for about a year. But, I haven't come across this tip yet. I understand what Jet Dry is and what it does, but what is the importance of reducing the waters surface tension? Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer.
get an exact container say a gallon size, fill it with worthless sand, small rocks, weigh it on a good scale, do this a few times for an average weight. Now go searching with that container and scale keep weighing spots, find a spot that that gallon weighs considerably more start panning
Thanks your sharing your video with us. Doesn't it feel good when you work so hard to find a great spot. Great job. You have a little sweet honey hole.
Hey Joe , I just don't understand it ? I enjoy all your show ! Then I start reading the comments below and nothing but haters ! I really don't understand why ? These people just don't get it as specially the one thats been around ? ....... Its about getting excited about something new and fresh and going out to buy a pan , a metal detector , a sluice , and put your old fishing pole away and try something new and bring your family and friends and neighbor in the great outdoor ! Thats what I see and im very excited ! What is going on with today generation Joe ? I just don't understand why we have to be hateful toward one another just to enjoy the great outdoor ? Thanks Joe !
You nailed it, my friend! When i first started, i took those comments personally. Almost made me quit. But we have so much fun, the bad comments roll off like water on a ducks back. Thanks for viewing, pardner.
What a crock. Shaking a pan like that and finding any gold is a long shot. I have no doubt that these pans were peppered. This is the worst example of panning I have ever seen.
With the sound of kids mewling in the background, plus the constant sound of cars passing by on the road, methinks this guy ain't too far off the beaten path, eh?
I also heard others say you planted that gold in your pan. Dont pay them no mind! I dont want them in my spot anyway! Happy hunting and thanks for your time.
I am pulling my gold from a rock crusher/wash plant for concrete aggregate. That thing is a gold collector. Several dozen ounces each time. I am pulling 35 buckets of concentrate per run.
Yeah I"m sorry but I don't buy this for one second. If he was actually getting that much gold just in a pan, then there's millions of dollars right under his feet without a doubt cause you don't find gold like that ( and that easy ) without there being a ton of it.
he likely prospected all his life to finally find a spot like this...it's called paying your dues. There are spots like this, and yes they are hard to find. And the time spent total hours working for it pays about $5.00 hr in the end. One good find makes up for months of nuthin and it all kinda equals out..............to about 5 bucks an hour.
I have never panned for gold yet, some of these youtube videos seem to be too hard to believe...One man gets way too excited as if he has some ulterior motive to sell his gadgets and stuff. If you could find the stuff that easy, you would just be digging and not making any videos.!!
Great little "not so little" strike ya got there & right next to the highway.😯
Thank Y'all for sharing.!!! Nice job.
He he, makes me grin. Thanks for taking us along. :)
Really neat. It puts a smile on the face to see him so excited, too! Thank you for the insight.
Awesome video Joe! That was exciting!! Good luck this coming season.
Awesome! that's so cool! I gotta learn that little shiver shake thing you do with your hips when you're panning! I bet that's the key!
I don't know what I like the most, your videos or your suspenders. Thanks for sharing your awesome video and congrats on the nuggets.
Just clicked on the video, then hit subscribe within 3 minutes of the start. Your knowledge and enthusiasm makes you worth watching. Thanks for sharing this with us!
That was a ton of fun just watching. Thanks for sharing your video. Subscribed.
You're the best... keep up the good work, and give us more videos.
Thanks again.

Gold digger. Lol
"Sure" is spelled like this. Just letting you know.😁

This was cool! Thank you for sharing this.
Love these videos, wish joe would make some more videos, I want to come to Montana
You in Colorado? Come out to Colorado
Would be a good collab👍

@@dadsdone3524 Mountains are dead Giants of old, there is lots of Gold in their dead fossilized veins..
WOW amazing result, I wish my test pans looks like this! Great job!
It looks easy, but as you know, it takes some lookin to get results like that! Good diggin to ya, and thanx for watchin!
Nice results.. and Id have my Garret AT max and the pointer out there, it might save you some panning time.. anyway thanks for sharing Joe!
It’s nice to see an old timer excited. He looks like kid out there.
Thanks for doing this video. Nice gold. I subbed to your channel
Enjoy your channel, a gold miners' delight you got there!
I found myself spinning my phone thinking I'm sifting with ya,oh I love the Gold to my friend!!!

Ron
Great channel Joe!
Love the video brother you Have a new subscriber
Awesome video mate. Some big ol boulders in that creek
Dude that is too bad you gotta salt for subs man. It makes all the others doing this to look bad as well! C- Mon man!
Good for you, sir! And thank you for the tips!
Look at that color that is some awesome color and nuggets.
That piece was juicy as hell lol 😂🤣😂🤣💪💪💪💪 awesome pan can't wait to get one like that
I always water bucket the high and dry cracks. Umteen times I'd find nuggets stuck in cracks covered with just enough debris to make them invisible. I'm not talking dinkers and clinkers, I'm talking clunkers.
Hey Joe! Found your channel today. Amazing finds! Subscribed!
Hey 20 cent! Glad you are with us, and hope we can keep you entertained!
Besides the gold pan my must carry tool would be a porta power and hoist. I’d pull those big as rocks out of my way
I think he is very passionate of doing what he enjoys. I would also suggest getting a metal detector and you might find larger nuggets.
C'mon Zeke... surprised you didn't pull a Rolex out that slope!
Love your channel, you got one more sub!
Great video good information give me some ideas of places that I seen that I think might be a good spot to do Diggin thank you
Good video, nice hit. That nuggets and chunks, was real nice.
prospecting is the fun part, ain't it? when you find the good stuff, it verifies your lessons are coming together.
thee stone the granite used on railroad tracks found some s t ones with glitter gold in them some with quarts in it takes many hours of looking for it
Hey Joe looks like ya finally found some virgin ground! How long were ya looking for it? I have a place i go but they dont allow u to dig up on the banks or higher. Im using a detector to hopefully find a spot like you did.! Im pushing it but im not causing any harm. I fill back my holes and i know ill hit a pay streak one day! Thanks for your time and effort to show us who havent found the honey hole yet.!
Quite a few critics here in the comment section. Don't know anything about panning but really enjoyed your video. Happy you found some gold!
That is some beautiful gravel right there!
,
Damn nice work
Enjoyed watching you getting rich
If that won't give you gold fever I don't know what will... Nice job...
nice seed job old timer anyway have fun with it buddy
I have been able to find some nice chunks before in my pan...just like he did...but I was going through an area that had been stripped down by a big company years ago with equipment but they still left alittle of dirt in a few place on top of the bedrock that I was able to scrape off the hard work had been done years before and I just happened to luck out a bit with the info on why the area had been cleared
For those of us who can't get out thanks for living our dreams keep safe !!

Wow old man, you've got some SKILLS!
and what about you
enjoyed your video thanks for sharing
Nice Spot. Hope you done great there.
Chunky, love the chunky, way to go!!
Ever try a high banker? That would be much quicker to move that much material.
do you guys have sections in Montana for the elk drawings or is it a state wide tag ?
The general elk tag is good in most regions. Plenty of public land elk!
very nice joe!
Damn you just gave me the fever
Thanks for the gold and the chance to watch you get it. My father made a gas operated sluce bed for going through quanities of river sand and rock it would probably work fine on what your doing it had a pump and a shaker box it shook in two directions. powered by a briggs and stratton lawn mower engine I have the plans for it which I could find.

''Good Stuff''
Awesome Video
Hot Diggity! That'll put an all day smile on your face!
Just being out prospecting gets a good grin goin', don't it?
To think back in the day, they were getting nuggets everywhere!!
What size classifier ? Hmmm..
Good stuff Joe!
A pretty good prospect for later looks!
Man , !!! That was a great day , I wish go there and spend all week long , I telling you , I'm here in Atlanta Georgia and the gold here is almost nothing , I want to go there and hunt for nice nugget , will be really good !!! I'm a gold prospect but I find nothing like you , wow, wow ,
Seems like he would just dry wash it at the dig site
I was just watching this because I never met my grandpa. He died just after I was born. Spent his whole life digging and panning in the hills and on the old river beds. I like to imagine who he was when he was young. I have his pick and his pan and his scales and a copy of an old newspaper advertisement from the1920’s looking for a female to “cook” for four men in a mining camp. Haha.
is that in certain countries only? or can be found anywhere?
Looks like he is doing the invisible hula hoop when he shakes the pan.
Now that's what I'm talking about! Really think about running a vacuum there.
you sold me, Steve! I didn't get lots of dirt first grab, but sure will with your idea.
i swear he puts nuggets in the pan last minute while no one is watching
That's always possible !! But it might be fun looking around anyhow!!
… hmmm … either a really happy guy or salting-in-the-transitional fades … or somesuch ... good show either way!
… and good gold-finding advice.
No one cares
Lots of edits huh?
wow nice gold!! so you worked this entire area then, now??
Can you take me with you? We don't have gold here where I live.
Alright Joe, send me an invite and ill bring a couple dredges and highbankers :) If your finding that much gold with a pan just imagine with equipment.
I'll bring the 10 ton excavator.
I'll bring the beer!!!!!!
Ill bring the chips!
I'll bring girls
Love it amigo from Baja California mexico
Ola, amigo! Git you some!
Thanks to you ... I been walking at the mountain an I see a lot of orange staf at the wather is that gold or somenthin ?
Yes, its all gold at the wather,especially the orange staf.
Has anyone given you the hint about using a drop or three of dishwasher "jet dry" in you pan to keep the surface tension down?
Pssst, use a drop or three of "jet dry" in your pan to keep the surface tension down.
😉
P.S. those big honkers are worth more as specimens than the value of their weight.

The fines will actually float out of the pan. Breaking the surface tension keeps your fines in the pan. Dawn also works
Thank you for the info.
Yeah but you would need to use a separate pan to wash in. You cannot use jet dry in a creek or river, it could hurt ecosystem.
I did not know you can't use jet dry in a creek. How about Dawn?
get an exact container say a gallon size, fill it with worthless sand, small rocks, weigh it on a good scale, do this a few times for an average weight. Now go searching with that container and scale keep weighing spots, find a spot that that gallon weighs considerably more start panning
I noticed u were a little more cautious w the second one after seeing all that color....congrats!!!🎉
You noticed, eh? Haaaa. Thanks for watching, appreciate it!
Thanks your sharing your video with us. Doesn't it feel good when you work so hard to find a great spot. Great job. You have a little sweet honey hole.

Great content
Blows my mind they dont completely fill the damn bucket
What a crock. Shaking a pan like that and finding any gold is a long shot. I have no doubt that these pans were peppered. This is the worst example of panning I have ever seen.
@Brian Landers Yep - he knows what he's doing. He's not worried about losing a few micro-specs, as he clearly has found a deposit of coarse gold.
Cool looks like fun
I have been around too long, not to notice when it has been seeded .
I agree, I found where these guys were digging in their, that's not a bullet video, worked the same exact crack, not even a flake of gold.
Brand new tools ??
I agree. How did that 1st nugget get through his clasifier?
It's something of a comedy, a shameful pathetic lie of sorts kind of comedy.
Jeffrey C. Vogt or maybe jealousy??
That s what I called gold.
With the sound of kids mewling in the background, plus the constant sound of cars passing by on the road, methinks this guy ain't too far off the beaten path, eh?
Soooooo close to the beaten path!
get er done! you are on the gold!
I also heard others say you planted that gold in your pan. Dont pay them no mind! I dont want them in my spot anyway! Happy hunting and thanks for your time.
I am pulling my gold from a rock crusher/wash plant for concrete aggregate. That thing is a gold collector. Several dozen ounces each time. I am pulling 35 buckets of concentrate per run.
Holy Cow, Robby! I would give a digit just to see that rockin! Any way to share a look?
Looks seeded. Did you buy that picker on eBay?
Moving to Montana soon ; gonna be a dental floss tycoon
Can I come too? Promise I'll buy me a horse..... just about this big. (Gonna be a mental toss flycoon)
Geez...I WANNA DO IT TOO!!
хороший спектакль мне понравилось только не узнал вас в гриме джим керри это вы
I'd like to find a piece or two just to say I found some....Not much gold in Minnesota tho.
Yeah I"m sorry but I don't buy this for one second. If he was actually getting that much gold just in a pan, then there's millions of dollars right under his feet without a doubt cause you don't find gold like that ( and that easy ) without there being a ton of it.
if you ever prospected a lot you'll know not believe much that other diggers tell you, its almost 100% fantasy land out there
he likely prospected all his life to finally find a spot like this...it's called paying your dues. There are spots like this, and yes they are hard to find. And the time spent total hours working for it pays about $5.00 hr in the end. One good find makes up for months of nuthin and it all kinda equals out..............to about 5 bucks an hour.
you assume to much a few flecks of gold hardly means millions, good thing your not a miner.
I have never panned for gold yet, some of these youtube videos seem to be too hard to believe...One man gets way too excited as if he has some ulterior motive to sell his gadgets and stuff.
If you could find the stuff that easy, you would just be digging and not making any videos.!!
