At 12:17, you point out a packrat nest. Don't disturb those things unless you absolutely have to! In Arizona, many packrats are infested with a parasite insect called a Cone-Nose Kissing Bug [I don't know the scientific name]. This is a blood-sucking insect similar to a deer tick, but quite a bit larger. Humans bitten by a Kissing Bug develop a disease similar to Lyme Disease. Many years ago, this happened to a person I knew. After a year of hardcore antbiotics and several hospital stays, he finally cored the disease. He was young and healthy when he caught the disease; I can't imagine what it would do to an older person. The moral of the story is, stay away from packrat nests!
Thank's for sharing I have a question is it legal to dry wash or sluice in the washes around Tucson Az? I keep looking online trying to figure out the laws
Yes it is. The main thing is is public or private ground? Is it under a mining claim? Local Clubs are your best bet to join. Get their maps. Thanks for watching.
Being an Arizona Desert Rat for over forty years I’ve got to tell you about a product sold by REI called the “KoolTie” lasts for up to eleven years will keep you Kool all day, costs about eleven bucks, made here in the valley for almost thirty years too! I have property in New River and a wash runs through it, I want to pan the wash ,but not quite sure on how to proceed…
Awesome video thanks for sharing! Super new to this and don’t understand the “private claim” thing. Is that like your land? If not how does one get a claim on someone else’s land? Thank you in advance for any response.
Good knowledge ! just bought a pan for my son and I and absorbing as much knowledge as I can until the day comes where we can dig some good soil! We live west of the 303 near waddell and want to explore our immediate surroundings!
There used to be a channel I liked… Finding Florida gold…or something like that. Anyone remember that one? The fellow started off showing how to find gold. Then turned more towards precious stones.
I love the fact you are finding things no man has ever unearthed before. The whole idea of exploring and discovering (or uncovering) is more valuable in my mind than anything I ever thought possible. Thank you for having that willingness to share the joy in being a self made man exploring. I love it. Someday I hope to free myself from the 9-5 grind of emptiness and solitude within a cubicle and perhaps join you and your group to realize the TRUE wealth in life. While mining my own business;)
That was a little joke about being my own boss. And “mining” my own business. I have a dry sense of humor. It might work better in that environment lol. Dry washing that is ;)
Another good one, thanks jack.
Take care.

He needs water the poor young dude
Pops in the green shorts could catch gold in his washboard abs 😂😂
Finally, Arizona prospecting put into laymen’s terms. Much obliged, friend!
I'd just take.it home.the dirt after a few test pans work it at home & go back if needed . If it's close enough to home
I don't think if you get gold 1/4 or 1/2 gold yes let me see that gold size you getting
Need the volume higher.
You got that Catalinas mountain accent sound like my dad Mike lol 😆
Good show I use the same equipment and hopefully I will be in gold basin in February
is that a nugget sticking out on the copper rock at 3:19 ?
I should of looked closer. Wow. I hope not. Lol
I put a magnet or two into the pan to grab the black sands, cheers!

Good information and some nice color!
thanks for the video!
stay on public areas, no one goes on private areas.
Very informative thank you.

Out west we have BLM public lands. You can file a claim but it’s still open to the public. You just own the mineral rights.
I like your style sir.
Sure, I'll give you a subscription.
Good luck sir, I'll follow along.
Thanks and welcome!

There’s gold out there. Just keep searching. Thanks for watching.
Howdie from down in the south az in the big D.. any good claims in Cochise county?
I think the GPAA has some.
@@GoldFeverAdventures thank you
In southern az, thanks man!
Love your videos
Let me know how you like that puffer. I've the same 1 but too small of gold where I'm at.
They work but yes high volume it’s not. There are better ones for more or faster through put!
Excellent as always. Is there a motel close to you.????
There are a few about 20 minutes away
There used to be a channel I liked…

I don’t recall that one.
@@GoldFeverAdventures the only place you will find gold in Florida is along the coast. Spanish gold or lost jewelry.
Quartzite ?
Salome area

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching
Add a miller table, and your complete.Miller table works much better than the blue bowl, but needs all your attention using it. Faster clean ups.
I have a blue bowl and it works pretty fast. It just has a learning curve. It also cleans up pretty fast if you know how to use it properly.
