My great-great grandfather went to Sutter's Mill in 1848, just before the big gold rush (so technically not a 49er). He found gold panning dull and tedious, so he went down to San Diego and bought horses for $1 each and drove them back up to the San Francisco area and sold them for $100 each. Travelling and horse riding was his way to relax (he became wealthy and headed back to England to get his parents and move them to the US)
I am always so amazed at the diversity of adventures you have around your passion in Mudlarking. Rivers, beaches, fields, canals, hovercraft, gold paning, craft projects, history researching....and so much more. Lovely to see Sean again too. Thanks Si. So appreciate you and your videos.
🤩 Congrats boys!!! Looking forward to next year’s vid already! Disappointed by the lack of gold dances but I’ll let you off after all that walking. I hate midges too. I was up in the woods the other day and they were EVERYWHERE, after frantically flapping my arms about didn’t work I yelled “f*** off!” so loud all the cows started mooing in the near by field 🤣 Edit: In case you’re wondering, shouting obscenities at the midges didn’t work either.
The videography just gets better and better! That drone work, showing the depth and winding of the burns is just amazing, and juxtaposed with the close-ups of nature, and the underwater views: this is art! Also, if I ever want to show someone just what 'cheeky' means, I'll point them to you two in this video. Thanks so much for taking us along; we got to both see the beauty, and avoid the midges!
The expression “ how much can you raise in a pinch? “ harkens back to the California gold rush. Miners would come in to a saloon for a drink with only gold dust to pay with. The saloons liked to hire bartenders with fat fingers, so when they pinched up some gold dust for the whiskey, they would get more than someone with small fingers. Beer glasses are wider at the top to accommodate more foam. Foam is only 25%, so more foam, more profit.
Welcome back to Scotland. Apart from the midges (baskets as you called them!) I love it here just now with the Heather looking so beautiful on the hills. So glad you’re showing just how bad it gets with them up here though. 🤪🦟
Si I have always watched you. I just never comment. I just have to tell you how much I loved this video. Countryside is so beautiful and you are a real trooper fighting those midges. Love from the state of Missouri USA.
Great adventure but can’t imagine how you guys lived through all the midges - I’d have gone back to the camper. Gold fever will make you endure most anything. Glad you found enough to make it fun.
What another brilliant trip to Scotland. A little more successful than last time if I remember rightly, a little better weather too but those midges!! You're a trooper Si, putting up with those for our entertainment. Thanks for sharing your brilliant adventure 😊 absolutely love the heart pyrite. I collect a heart shaped rock everywhere I go if I'm allowed to take 1. My front garden is full of family memories with all the pebbles and rocks
So glad you didn't lose any equipment this year. Look liked an amazing time & lots of work & fun. I am thinking in the future you need a van like Sean has....lol
Awesome video. Your closes up of the flora/fauna are beautiful. Glad you had some success. Must feel exciting when you scoop the clangers and flakes. It all adds up! 👑 of adventures!
Stunning footage. Loved it all, but dang those beasties! There must be a way to rig a hat with full-face netting, perhaps spray it with DEET? Troopers, you were.

Looks like a fun trip with more success than last year. At least you actually found some gold this time without losing most of your equipment. Well done! Congratulations on the big flake! .
Great fun guys! Sorry about our dreaded midges. If it makes you feel any better, they bite us locals too. The nets are the best protection, so make sure you bring a few next year. Well done on getting your clanger!! 😁🥇🏆
Better you than me - even with the gold!! 😬🤣 Glad you found some, plus the biggest piece. 😁 Nice job on the Pyrite heart. 😍 See you next time, Simon. 😊👍
Forgive us but we were roaring with laughter at your midgie mishaps and being "the donkey" -- great video!🤣🤣 Si, you are the funniest mudlarker on UA-cam. And obviously Sean has been watching too many Gold Rush shows stretching out the weigh in...lol
There was a famous walker who tries to walk everywhere nude but in Scotland keeps getting put in prison ,Id have sponsored him to walk Scotland in the summer as the midges always go for the most tender flesh!!!
Thank you! What a fun episode! You blessing the trees with your wand trying to clear your path of spidy webs had me rolling! Again thank you for the vid and good laughes!!
So much fun watching two guys pan for gold, who would of thought? You and Sean have the best attitudes! No matter how buggy and rainy it got, you joked and laughed and carried on. Congratulations on the gold you found! And lovely ♥ pendent. Watching you create in your workshop is always a big highlight for me 🎨! Simon you always make my day 👍🎨 ♥
Best mudlarking channel on UA-cam. You guys find Neolithic arrowheads, gold, and everything in between. Congrats on the awesome day Sean and Simon! Carry on! 💪🤟✌️
Scotland my favourite place in the world! ...you can see why our late Queen loved it so much! ...hard to believe 4 days after this video she had passed..but she passed in her beloved Scottish Balmoral...may her last journey today as her son Charlie quoted .....May flights of Angels sing thee to your rest ...❤❤...sleep well our beautiful queen ...❤❤
Hi 👋 awesome video with lots of lovely small rather tiny gold nuggets. Superb crafting of key chain ⛓ 👌 👏 With love from SAM Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥ 🙏 🤝
Ohh Scotland, my ancestors hailed from Montrose mostly, even had a few Earls, marquess and viscounts in the Graham clan 😆 Great video as always Si, I like seeing the other places you enjoy going to!
So what your saying then Si is the next video will be not Shrek and donkey off on another whirlwind adventure but ' Sean and Donkey , off on another gold panning adventure '. Love it , you guys are brilliant.
Love the van and adore you are in Scotland i live here and i must say it is rather fab cant believe how much i am enjoying your videos .. kind regards Karen.
I live here too next to a gold river in southern goldfiield one good spot for gold nuggets is in Deeside in Barmoral estate but the get very stroppy with people going into estate. better try closer spot West water but avoid the gamekeeper.
Scotland is lovely..and the river! 😍So envying you right now..hahaha!! I'm *always* dropping stuff too and actually held my breath when Sean had that clanger on his fingertip. Nice, fun adventure 😀! Loved it!
Hola Simón,ese entusiasmo que muestras es contagioso ,ya queremos ver y ser partícipes de tu nueva aventura ,se ven muy cómodos y bien equipados ,suerte amigos 🙏🏻😍👏🥰🤭
Oh no, 😳, it fell. I am hoping you find some more. Scotland is beautiful and you enjoy a wonderful, profitable getaway. OMG, those midges are horrible, and you have short sleeves on . 13 is Sean’s lucky number.That pyrite heart is lovely. Yes, that flake looks like a chicken lol. Oh my, the upcycle on the heart is gorgeous.
I love this content, and the sacrifice of the two of you dealing with all those midges!! The slog there and back is that 'cos you can't drive or camp closer to available sites? Or sites not overrun with people? Hope you do this journey again. Thank you!
Não fazia ideia que na Escócia também existisse essa praga de mosquitinho que pica orelhas! Me desculpe se não for isso, mas pelo que entendi. Parabéns pelo ouro! Abraços do interior do Brasil!
Beautiful result!!! Not many people get to see how beautiful gold looks in the wild. Wow, last week 'Lovejoy', this week 'Les Dawson'. Who's going to be proud of you next week? I can hardly wait! Great upscale by the way!👍🤟🪡🎨
Nice butterfly music. There are many gold hunters in Calif who find much smaller flakes. Fine job, thats good gold Si and pal! Frodo and Samwise you are, there in the midgewater!
@@Sifinds thank you we had Fantastic two weeks and then one week in Great Yarmouth witch also my Favourite for our 50th Anniversary xxxxcame back to you going to Scotland finished it off nicely thank you Si xxxx
So which one of you was Cissie and which one was Ada when you had the cloths on your head? Assuming you remember Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough as those characters. 🤣 Poor you being the cart horse lugging everything. Well done on your finds. Amazing! Still think Shaun’s bus is awesome!
Finally got a chance to watch this video! It combines a couple of things I’ve always wanted to do - visit Scotland and pan for gold - so I was excited to see how this went! And, of course, your video didn’t disappoint! I loved the bit of footage of the trip up, including the camels (!) and the beautiful Scottish scenery. Then there was the panning! How frustrating and yet how addicting! It’s basically gambling, isn’t it? Always convinced that the next pan will have a clanker! You both did well - over a gram of gold for Sean and the biggest flake for you, as well as the pretty fool’s gold heart. Which, BTW, turned into a very nice key ring! Well done! The midges are terrible here, too, though we call the non-biters gnats and the biters are called either midges or no-see-ums. No matter what they’re called, they can make life a misery! I laughed at Sean and his spider wands! 😂 Looks like me when I go out at night or early in the morning. I live in an area of pines everywhere and the spiders stretch those webs between the trees and from my car in the driveway to the nearest tree or bush. The webs always seem to be at face or neck height and when I run into one, I always imagine the spider itself is in my hair. *shudder* So, like Sean, I have a spider wand for first thing in the morning or nighttime taking the dog out! Can’t wait to see what you’re up to in tomorrow’s video and who you’ve got in tow! I do know it will be fun and make me laugh! Thanks, Si! 🪰🕸🪰
Not quite a clang .. but a plop / thud. :D My dear dad was a gold miner here in Canada after being a coal miner in Lancs. (Wigan / Leigh area). After blasting in an area with plenty of visible gold, he would tell us that it's hard to sit on and you can't eat it for lunch. lol .. he did have a sense of humour.
Love the bus, such a lux for a trip… great video . Just a tip : use Fern as spiderweb remover, Pick i couple of branches, and just hold them in front of you, they are so much wider 😀
Nice that you both had so much fun...certainly the gold found is enough for some new bottles of mosquito spray. Thank you for the beautiful nature shots. 🤗
It's really interesting that we now r excited about small flakes and such, and the old timers were mostly throwing these away or not bothering with such small flakes.

Haha! The only way to get rid of them is to walk away quickly, I was literally walking around in circles at some points 😂

Cheers Paul! Really appreciate that mate. Maybe that why I found less, sitting in my directors chair rather than hunting!
@@Sifinds Could be. If so, I certainly think it was worth it. But, then, I don't have Gold Fever.
Beautiful scenery, cute hats, wonderful sounds, flakes and clinker's, everything great but the midges!!! Thanks Si.

Poor Si looks 100% knackered.
So glad you didn't lose any equipment this year. Look liked an amazing time & lots of work & fun. I am thinking in the future you need a van like Sean has....lol
Well some tweezers and a scoop tried to get away but both were recovered. 😂 I’d love a campervan, maybe one day…
Sounds like Sean’s finding it hard to pick up the pieces after the sad loss of his favourite tweezers 😲🍻
Haha! He was really plucked off
You could be Britain's version of Dan Hurd. "It's a Picker"
What a legend 👍🏻🐾🧡
I think Dan would be jealous of a few of those pans.
Awesome video. Your closes up of the flora/fauna are beautiful. Glad you had some success. Must feel exciting when you scoop the clangers and flakes. It all adds up! 👑 of adventures!
Cheers Lois, spot on, it hard to believe it’s sitting there waiting to be found!
You always surprise me Si. Gold lives in beautiful places and the burns of Scotland do not disappoint.
It’s a stunning place to go to
Lovely clean water, beautiful Scottish views. My fav holiday .😊
Thanks for the trip 👣🧡
My pleasure Essie 👍🏻🐾🧡
Stunning footage. Loved it all, but dang those beasties! There must be a way to rig a hat with full-face netting, perhaps spray it with DEET? Troopers, you were.
