This looks like a blast and it would be interesting to watch you develop your sniping skills. It looks so awesome to work in shorts and a t-shirt as up here the water is ice cold even in the summer. Next time, I think a pull cart with a cooler, mini grill and some brats would help warm up your and Riley’s bodies during breaks. PBRs are optional and at your discretion.
I think you need to capture all of that fine stuff you loosened on the bottom instead of sweeping it away. You’re probably looking at fines down there even when sniping so that small material is your target. Maybe use your suction thing with a long very thin, flat tip to get down into the cracks?
If you continue sniping, definitely get a wetsuit. You’re losing a lot of body heat which will make you tired. And who wants to end a day of sniping early because you’re tired/cold??? Do NOT get an expensive suit. You’re going to scratch it up and get holes very quickly. I use a product called Household Goop to protect the knees of my suits and my gloves. I apply it before I even use the suit, holes are that common. It comes in a pink-ish pkg at HD/Menards/etc. It dries quickly and stays flexible. So if you get a hole, apply the Goop, let it sit overnight and you’re good to go in the morning. Here in AK I use a hooded long sleeve 5mm suit (10mm on my torso). But I think you can get away with a 2mm shortie (short sleeve, thigh length legs) for the summer. If you’re doing this in spring/fall, go with a full body wetsuit.
As far as the mask, you need to find one that fits your face. If there are 10 masks on display, maybe 1-2 will fit your face. Maybe not. A good mask is well worth the price.
Next thing you know, you’ll buy an SSA setup (Surface Supplied Air, basically an air compressor floating on a mini tire tube and floats behind you)) so you can go deep to those deeper cracks!!

Great info. Thanks.
@@FlourgoldWizardsyou will need about 50lbs of lead to hold your thick body down though 😅imagine packing all that weight on your next outing lol 😮
i got 3 sentences in and quit
The world needs more people like Jason...He is a modern-day Bob Ross
And rigby the dog
Hear, hear! 🍻
Awww jeez …🤗
I get more of a Homer Simpson vibe from him😊
@Bidenshowersyndicate Bob Ross in the way people would watch him who had no interest in painting but enjoyed watching his show to relax. I have no interest in prospecting, but I enjoy Jason's spirit, wit and of course, the Rigbone.
I like you Jason ! Did you know that there is only 3 kinds of people in the world , there's people who make things happen, there's people who watch things happen and then there people who wonder what happened. You make it happen !
I like that !! 😃✅
Great attempt Jason!
Thanks Bob !!!✌️✅
Much respect doing different and still being entertaining 👏 👌 ❤🇦🇺🇦🇺
15 months no alcohol
Thank you !! ✅✅✅👍🏻
The twins were screaming!!! had me laughing for 5 minutes. Never heard that one.
🥜 🤣✅
Best of luck Jason-Water gloves, Knee pads, Turkey baster, mini-picks(Harbor Freight), magnet(to find the black sands), locking forceps to name a few. Welcome to the fun world of crevasse gold hunting. Lowest investment in gold hunting-all fits in a small bag- Oh Yeah-the famous garden foam knelling pad. The Beverage/snack bag weighs more than the gold tool bag
I’ve certainly gotten some great info, this helps too !! 😃✌️
Hey at least you didn't get skunked, Jason, and you had a great time, better luck next time! Pet Rigby, for me hahaha
Aaaand done 🐺✅
A few ideas JJ: Bring a heavy prying bar ( a big one) to break stuff loose, or spread bed rock cracks open. Then, get one of those flat vacuum cleaner ends to put on the end of your suction tool to get deep into cracks etc. We used that flat suction end on our Keene 3" dredge. Most of the bigger gold is in them bed rock cracks. Good luck son!!! 😊😊
I like that !!!
@@FlourgoldWizards WAit till you see my bill for expert advice!!v hehehehehehehe!!! Go get em JJ. 😂😂
@@francismusso7644 😳🤣🤣✅
"The twins were screaming for a minute" 😂🍻
🤣✅
Thats looks like alot of fun! Glad you had a good time! Great vid!
It was! Thank you ✌️✅
Well, that sure was interesting! Thank you for not wearing a speedo in the video 😂😂
Might want to steer clear of the next one… 🩱
@@FlourgoldWizards 🤣🤣😂😂
Oh heck yeah, that was above and beyond for sure. Outstanding 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thank you kindly🍻🍻🍻
Beautiful spot for a swim! I say any spot with bedrock is a great place to Practice and you never know what you might find!
I think so too!
It's very addictive Jason and lots of fun when the weather is hot , specially if you're getting some gold , just gotta watch the back of your neck don't get burned to a cinder , lol, . It's a little too cold over here for this little black Duck to be putting my face underwater at the moment , will have to wait a while . Anyway , great job there Buddy hope you had as much fun as we did watching you give it a go . Cheers Nev . 👍👌✌✅
I can definitely see the attraction to the hobby !!! One larger piece of gold and i may not have left !!!!
It’s ok Jason. Rigby still loves you! Let the fridge of Wonder fix your woes.
Agreed 🐺✅✅✅
That pvc is almost as white as those legs lol😂😂
😳🤣🤣🤣✅
Keeping up with Paulie, I love it.
Lol…. He’s way outa my league 😎🍻
This was such a cool & fun video! Thanks for taking one for the team & getting wet, Jason! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! We sure did 😃✅
Great adventure. Glad to see you expand the search techniques. Keep the videos coming. You are the inspiration and the teacher. Thanks again.
Thanks, will do!
Kneepads are a must...fishing hooks 🪝 nails and such. Also glves for when you are digging around.
Those horse flies were aggravating me watching you 🤣
They’re everywhere!!! 🤣✅
I look foward to watching new and old episides while sitting in Seattle traffic! Thanks!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✅
Sniping is on of my favorites, especially on a hot day.👍👍 Bedrock looks great Jason. Knee pads are a really good investment brother.🤔👍Great video, thanks for sharing your adventure with your followers. 😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
No doubt! Felt shoes and knee pads seem to be a must !!
I actually enjoyed this video a lot. I would do more of these videos.
Thanks! Will do!
WHOOOOOOOO, NICE GAMS !!!
🤣✅
Thanks! The damn Kan wasn’t that long ago bud!
Well thank you very much !!!!! 😃✅🐺
Please do more snipping videos, Jason. What a beautiful location you picked.
Will do!$
All I'm all I bet it was good to get in and play in the water. I'm just getting off work. It's 94 degrees today and getting hotter by the second. I can't wait to go dredging tomorrow
Have fun and good luck!!
Awesome Jason! Hard to believe it gets that hot where you are. We are sweltering in my part of SC! 😢 Great job on your first sniping adventure. Your twins will be fine! You boys...🙄 😂👍❤
🥜🤣✅
I can see where a Gold-n-Sand hand dredge would help you greatly with this endeaver! Thanks for the adventure!
That would be cool!
Thanks for giving the failure a chance on video. It was just as enjoyable as when you strike a motherlode. I wouldn't mind seeing another attack. And thank you for the consideration for the fishermen. We all appreciate it.
I only had to wait for 1guy but he didn’t catch anything ✅ We’ll try again 😃✅☁️
Denise and I enjoyed this video very much. It was a bit different and looked like a good time. Thank you for sharing with us.
Well thank you! 😃✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Poor wet dog needs some encouragement from the fridge of wonder. Lol good video Jason.
And he got it…🍻🤣✅
I would be pouring beer down my snorkel. Thanks for the videos. You seem like a fun guy to hang out with.
Thats an excellent idea 🍻🤣✅
Would love to see you try this again and show us what you learn along the way. Most channels just show 1 ounce of gold sniped in a day but it was great to see your honest first attempt even though you came up emtpy handed some of us are watching and learning with you.
I like the idea !
Well, I am glad to see you learning a new skill. You have a great attitude and I enjoy following along with you.
I appreciate that!
Nothing wrong with funnin' around in the crick on a hot day! Proud of you for trying something new...two hours down, only 9998 to go and then BAM!!! Your an expert!! 👍👍
Carry the 2 ….. dot the Eye ….. yep ! Your math is spot on 🍻
@@FlourgoldWizards 🤣
Jason I would love to see you team up with Gary and Jeff in Northern California, that would be epic! Every sniper starts just like you just did and as you get better at it and see more shiny it is an adrenaline rush for sure. As far as I’m concerned it’s the ultimate in finding gold. I hope there was a nice smile of gold for you in the fridge of wonder when you got home. Cobbles 🍻🍻🍻
That would be cool! The friJ of wonder never disappoints..🍻😃✅
I love sniping for gold. I think it's the most fun way to prospect. What ever cracks tou work you'll have to be sure to get it completely cleared to the bottom. That's where the gold will be!!!
For sure! We’ll keep trying!!
Lately it seems like every time I need something to make me smile, you put out a brand new video. Thanks so much. You (and the pups) have become part of my pain management system.
By the way, a leaky mask might require you to shave your cheek bone area and upper lip. Give that a try next time. All the best!
Shave ????? 😲 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks like great smallmouth fishing there!! 👍
It is!
Just fun and inspiring to watch! Thanks Jason. :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not tea-bag 😂
Great to see you trying different things and don’t give up on it. I definitely think there’s gold in there but you gotta find the right spot. And you prospect year round so looking forward to seeing you sniping in February 😮🤣🍻
February? We’re gonna need a new plan…🤣✅🥶
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Jason! That was so funny! I’m still laughing! I wanted to yell pointers through my screen. 😂😂 there is a huge learning curve to sniping. I’d give you advice but I don’t know where to start! 😂
Im sure the list is long !!🤣🤣✅
Jason awesome . that sniffer bottle 🍼 you have is bad ass . I also watch two toes my self . Always got to try out new stuff now try detecting lol stay cool my friend 😎 👍cheers 🍻
I can’t wait to try again! Thanks Dallas ✌️🍻😃✅
This video reminds me of those prospectors who set up a pump and vacuum the river beds with the pumped stuff coming into a sluice.
That would be fun !
Thanks for sharing your adventure in gold.
You bet😃
Jason it was nice to watch you at work using the tools of your trade to scathing the crevices ....I think using a old popular brake tool broke in half may be helpful as well... Sorry I don't know what it is called or how to describe it except to say one side of the tool has a claw like tooling and would have to be broken apart and maybe helpful??????
I’ll have to check into that!
If Rigby is like my dog. Yukon, just might be laying on the couch in in A/C watching UA-cam prospectors. Protecting the cobbles at home. You the best
It seems they’re twins…🐺✅🤣
A BIGGER CROW BAR...We always break up the surrounding rocks and a Keene suction hand dredge works real good....anything that bends or is not ridge will make your time a waste of time...Also, here in Calif we wait until later in the year so the water is VERY LOW...but real glad you are getting to do a different type of mining...oh! A weight belt is needed so you don't bounce up and down while you breath...lungs fill up and act like a life preserver...nice river shots...later
All excellent tips!! Thank you Michael ✌️🍻✅
Had a great time Thanks! Sure would be nice to to see you at the Yuba hunt end of July. See you there right👍🤙
Im booked already but it sure sounds fun !!!
Good luck scratching those cracks. Enjoy your channel
Thanks 👍🤣🤣
Absolutely fantastic episode buddy!!! Little mermaid gear😂😂😂 Jacque Cousteau didn't figure it out the first time either ✅️Head to BC and meet Paulie ✅️FGWTEAM 🐕🐕🐕🍺🍺🍻🏴☠️
Jacque Cousteau didn’t have pbr…🤣✅✌️🍻🍻🍻
Great try little mermaid. Better luck next time I think like you said it’s the area and California is probably a lot better but it’s great to try. Looks like the weather was pretty decent too. There was a little fly in the face going on to take care of Jason thanks for taking this long out for now.😊
Fun stuff!!!
I love perpendicular cracks in the bedrock. I found some in a creek that was almost dried up, with just enough flow to wash the material I scraped out of the cracks. Then just suffer bottle.
Awesome!!!
Thanks for the video . Enjoyed the outing. Glad to see that you ditched the waiters and are cooling off searching for gold. Thank you again Jason 👍
We all need a little cooling off !!!!
Great to see u try something new. Big fan. Like anything it's a craft u have to learn.
Thank you! Cheers!
It's always nice to try new things. Glad ya had fun.
Definitely!
Glad to see you gave it a try!! Learning new ways to find gold , Nice!!
Thanks 👍
Great job all around. Keep at it fam. Gold Squad Out!!!
Thanks! Will do!
fam? gold squad?… are you a child? is that how a grown man talks…
@@jakeyjakey4018 you can't bully me. Stay in your lane. Go try that crap with someone else. I don't have any time for it. Maybe you need to grow up some more and let people be themselves. You must have a dark heart. What ever got you mad is on yourself. I'm having a blast just being me. With that said. You can f-ck off and leave me alone.
Go Jason! Looks like it was a fun adventure! 😎
It really was fun 😃✅✌️
This chap is amazing no issues with getting down and dirty,,
Well my friend it was a success at least you found gold Yeha.
I noticed that pointed hook bar,Jason.
You could actually turn this into something special,,.
Okay 10mm / 15mm made in stainless steel round bar,,you could make three four sizes to suit exspiditions,
I noticed a couple things?
(1)
When you where scratching in the creek voids,,you where waving your hand a bit,,which possibly was sending gold particles down stream,,
With this i came up with the following maybe a sucker pipe connected into a container type,,as you scratch around this gets filtered into the container.
(2)
I noticed you went underwater but how about those dry crevices around the creek beds above,,deposits could well be sat in those crevices, just to add gold as we know is hevey which brought a thought for those lower shallow mud ridges towardscthe bank sides.
Great video well done your a snorkel sniper at heat❤
Frig i would love to be there such gorgouse scenery,,luv it.
I’ve tried out of the water but never found anything 🤣✅
The fun of new adventures. Got my mini monster this week heading to upper mich to try out this weekend. Always fun to watch your content!!
Good luck!
I tried that a few weeks ago and I did find quite a bit of lead shot but no gold. I didn’t dive in the water like you did, I respect my twins, lol. I did use my suction tube and it was quite affective. Going to try a different spot in the next few days. Thanks for another great video, and the effort you put into your hobby. Your the best, thanks again
I think downstream might be more productive!
Good work Jason, and good training as you said for a possible future adventure.
Thanks pal enjoyed
Peace Prospector Tripp
I don’t think i had enough ‘ squirtation’
😎✌️
Good stuff as usual! Cobbles maximus for sure.🍻🍻
You got that right!cobbles maximus 🍻😃
Can't think why it reminds me of a joke... What was the walrus doing at the tupperware party?
Lookin for a tight seal.
Nice one Jason!
I like that .😎
@@FlourgoldWizardsthe twins were screaming 😂😂😂
Great video. Thanks for sharing Jason👍
Thanks for watching!
Way to go Jason, I am looking to try this and you made some great points, thanks for sharing!
You should!
as soon as it warms up here I'll be getting in the water and giving it a go to, love your channel
Thank you and good luck😃✅
I like it. I do hope to see more sniping. Thank you for the video.
More to come!
You definitely look like a fish out of water. 😂 great video buddy!
Tell me more !!! 🤣🤣🤣✅✅✅
what a hoot . first timer , pretty cool. a wet suit is in store for you next. ya know that exposed bedrock sure looked good. i see alot of cracks in it. maybe take a day on the cracks up there on shore. as always heavy pans . see you at the nuggt hunt ??
I wish but thanks for commenting!
I’m gonna try again 🍻✅
That was a champion effort, I hope you stick with that technique. Some weeks Craigslist is just popping with floating dredge/sluice outfits that someone wants to sell. Great vid as usual.
What craigslist town / city ?
Great video, didn’t want the video to end! Thanks once again for the entertainment 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come Jesse !
All first trips out is a learning curve next time will be better well done Jason 👏 👍
Hope so! 😃✅
Well...as long as its fun...youre having a good time...and youre outside....its worth every second!
Exactly!!!🍻✌️😃✅
My wife would kill me if I went around looking in other cracks lol. You lucky dog! Awesome video!!
🤣🤣🤣🤐
Just tell your wife dat there's gold up in them there hills but sometimes u gotta come down and fossick in de cracks in lee valleys
Great job for a first try! got to suck is all i think if you want to find anything the last craves looked good. but with are size gold i would not bother waving for fear of blowing the gold away. suck, scratch, suck, a repeat. thanks for the share! stay awesome!
Suck scratch suck …..😃 got it 🤣🤣✅
So much work but you had fun good job ! That does look like fun and not melting the hole time
It really is!
Ive yet to try sniping looking forward to doing it soon,maybe on the Uwharrie river. Great video Jason.
You should!
Beautiful place 👍👍❤️
It really is!
Hi Jason, there’s always a learning curve lol😂,
like everything else we keep learning 😂😂,
Jack of all trades and master of none that’s me 😂😂, but I get by 😂😂,
You did find gold, wasn’t big but gold nonetheless,
It’s a start 👍👍🍻🍺🍺
A start for sure…. On another note, i do happen to be a PBR master … 🍻✅🤣
Really beautiful river area. It was fun even though you didn’t find anything. ~ Texas
Thank you! 😃✅
Looks like a good place ya don’t know unless you try 🤟🏼
Fork ?🍴 I didn’t see a spoon in there that’s pioneer Pauly’s number 1 tool 😂😂
Love the new adventure 🍻✌🏼
🤭 theres one in there …✅✅✅🍻
Awe man! That 1st speck in sand looked so promising. After watching like Two-Toes and Pioneer Pauly sniping cracks, I thought those looked really promising. Did you suction the stuff you shifted to the right in that last crack and pan it? Looked like it should have given speck#2 at least. The only thing that made me go hmmm... is where were you? If Wisconsin, that flour gold likely won't hang onto anything there, you'd need a huge widening of the river so the gold would have a chance to drop. If out side Wisconsin, then whatever the gold there allows. Oh well, looked like you were figuring some stuff out. Thanks for taking us along!
We were definitely in Wisconsin, I agree ☝️ hundred percent with your point on wider /slower … i know there’s decent flour gold around but wasn’t sure where to look for anything bigger…. Someone suggested just downstream of where i was but its over my head mostly. I’ll try again may upstream aways where I believe it to be shallower but wider 😃🍻
Any more advice on Snipping you could write a book. 😅 You did great, more next time. Looks like fun.
Comic book maybe….🤣✅
👌 underwater shots
Thanks!
That was awesome,great times cobbles up
Glad you enjoyed it 🍻 cobbles 👍🏻
Great video as always ! Like the variety but always will watch some beach farming
Plenty of sandy crack from the beach comin….😃🍻✅
I enjoy your channel and am retiring soon. You have given me some inspiration for at least one hobby to pursue in my “golden”years
That is awesome!
I was hoping you found a big nugget but as long as you had fun sometimes that's worth as much as a big nugget Nice getting out doing something new
Agree, also id probably still be there if we found one…🤣✅
no mineboss today thats why and no jerky riffles in yer river box for yer yabby pumpins, loved it man, thanks.
All excellent points 🤣✅🐺
A wetsuit will serve you well, they all use them. Good luck. Snipper & metal detector's Nora S & Michael O use a floating pump for air and Michael has a water jet on his arm to fan. You could check into that.
Thanks for the tip !!
So stoked to see you finally have a crack at my favourite type of prospecting mate that was a great vid ,it’s a different kinda game aye I still just use the big screw driver and snuffer bottle just simple no fuss fun .you did well Jason the gold will come mate goodonya cheers
I definitely plan on expanding this activity!!! Thanks T 🍻✌️
New Subscriber, and I thoroughly enjoy your videos, You made lol when you said the water is cold and the twins where screaming for a bit 😂. Thanks for sharing your passion.
Thanks for subbing and welcome!
If you want some tips on picking in water I suggest pioneer pauly and vogus prospecting.
✅
Sorry for my absence, but we've also gone sniping, only to end up crevicing because the river was almost dried out due to European heat! It looks like you had a great time sniping! Jason, you've always made me laugh, but I love your prospecting methods, but I miss dear old Rigby. Give him scrubbles behind the ears, and enjoy your wonderful beero. ~Wendi 🌻
It really was fun trying that , if the water gets any lower we’ll be in business again!!
It was not a total loss, you got one itsy tiny teany piece WOO HOO , glad you enjoyed it. 😅
I love it!
Hard to keep an eye on Rigby when you underwater LOL , Good he stayed home in the ac ;)
True that!
