Thanks for doing this video, Pauly! I've seen some of the Golden Beard videos and considered making a debunking video myself because of how insulting they are to actual gold prospectors/miners like us, but you'll reach a far greater audience than I ever could, so I'm thrilled that you did this.
I am not defending Golden Beard Media. But if you look all the way to the bottom of all their video description, they actually write in alternatives: Gullible, Satyr, Satire, Satirical Obv, For Fun: Calm down real prospectors or something along those lines. Even their about page says it's satirical since 2018? lol
Thank you for making this vid Pauly! Education is the only way to fight back against the click-bait and misinformation out there about prospecting. I'd say another whole video could be done on discovery channels' gold prospecting shows as well. Lots of dramatisation, perhaps exaggerating going on there. Thanks for the top notch content as always! -2D1D
I agree I think they break stuff on purpose sometimes and not only that but you rarely see the nuggets they get , when you do see nuggets in their sluice boxes they aren’t there at the weigh ins….. why is that…. I reckon because if we really found out how much gold they found everyone would be going there right?
I completely agree with you Pauly. It’s taking away from us who work hard to get the little bit of gold we do. Appreciate you making this man. Having the following you do, I think it will help make people realize the real from fake. 👌👊
I'm a amateur prospector and since I've been doing it about 5 yes now the only channels I've watched is you ,Dan herd,klesh and golden with Joe you guys have been a great teacher for me,haven't found a a lot in Colorado but it's fun to get out and pan keep up the great content
Awesome video, Pauly. I admit when I first started watching gold prospecting videos, I was duped by that first channel you talked about (before I knew better). I'm so glad you made this video to help people understand real vs. fake!
Long story short but we found a signal in the Creek. My inlaw was dredging and I was digging the signal. I found a nugget. I literally jumped into the dredge hole and pushed my inlaws snorkel under water. He came up soo fast and i showed him our find. The reaction was priceless from confusion to pure joy! And let me tell you it wasn't 10 oz lol
Lol my first tiny piece of gold I freaked the eff out, was so excited after so long of trying an many times I thought I had it. When u finally see it, you know it and hooked!
Great video! The only thing I would add is that there actually are struggling channels finding real treasures in the ground and those hard working content creators are actually worthy of the subs.
I for one really enjoy your REAL prospecting videos. While I can't see myself prospecting, I am making gold a reoccurring theme in a story I am working on.
You really covered it all Pauly. We all work really hard to find gold and make great content for everyone. But these fake gold channels are a small speedbump and huge opportunity to educate everyone about who's real and who's fake. Great stuff!
When i first started getting interested in gold mining i watched a couple gold beard videos, figured it out pretty quick. Great video Pauly, we appreciate you keepin' it real Canadian style.
I love what you’ve done here. I’m glad you’re calling these channels out. My only hope is that this starts some kind of crazy video war between the real and the fake. I love what you’re doing man. Go get ‘em.
As a real prospector who has actually found small nuggets, it took hundreds of hours of prospecting before I found anything that could be considered a picker and a hundred more till I found a actual nugget of gold!!
Excellent video - great content from someone who knows what he's on about, bloody good editing and humour.... and who doesn't enjoy a bit of debunking!? Many thanks Pauly.
Thanks for doing this video. I have seen some of these videos you are highlighting and I have made comments on some of them as to how fake they are. It is amazing, as you point out, how many people actually fall for this BS. I do have you subscribed and also to most the the legitimate mining content providers you showed. Keep on digging!
Hey buddy I've never watched any of these videos more than 3 seconds. All of your videos including this one are extremely believable! Plus we all love you and what you stand for!
When I first started watching prospecting videos, I had watched channels like those and had my mind BLOWN! It wasn't till I found the reputable prospectors like yourself that I had realized I was bamboozled. Even here recently I've had to shy away from even vo gus because of rampant clickbait. I feel clickbait is on the same lines of painting a rock. We shouldn't condone scummy behavior that steals your most precious commodity, which is time. Keep up the good work Pauly. Love your vidoes.
Probably my favorite video you’ve made! The low Key callouts is amazing! 😂 Real adventure and treasure comes in many forms but most are too lazy to go find it! Keep up up the great content!
Thank you Pauly. Your were the first channel of this type I actually watched, follow, subscribed and supported and is what I look forward to watching. I now follow others you have promoted and visited. However, I must admit I keep wanting to see you find the mother load as that would be so awesome for you and entertaining for all of us. You are also the reason why me my family got metal detectors 2 years ago. So thank you for finding arrowheads, gems, crystals, and gold the real way and the right way. Norm
Thank you! I really appreciate that you've been here with me along the way! This is why I do this, to get people excited to go outdoors and do things, find their own treasures and make memories. It would be awesome to find the motherlode but the adventure and thrill of discovery is what keeps me going. What have you and your family found metal detecting?
@@PioneerPauly We have tried popham beach in Phippsburg, ME and found a few things like broken jewelry bracelets and some watches. That’s where my nephew want to try the most. He is a son to me since his dad ran out on him and my sister n law when he was 9 months old. So he goes pretty much wherever me and my kids go. But we’ve found really cool stuff on this old railroad behind our house in Hallowell. We scattered 5-15 yards away from the tracks as I told everyone the people whom built this by hand could have left things or dropped things when they would rest or camp for the night. Obviously you couldn’t tell where if anyone had ever been around there now so it was an adventure. But we found and dug up an old clock, a wooden barrel either for whiskey or gun powder, medal nails with numbers on top. These mail I found were markers the people would nail into the wooden railroad tie so one could know who completed that tie. We found an old pocket watch, and old pocket chain, and other miscellaneous stuff that aren’t recognizable. But I’d really love to find other gems crystals, and gold even a speck would be totally awesome. I just haven’t a clue where to try to make it exciting for my kiddos. So for now we just say where going to find whatever and everything is treasure we dig up. We just have these less expensive medal detectors that cost $129 as I was expecting to find coins or gold or anything but would be really cool if we did. I just have special needs kids so really long or overwhelming adventures can be hard. But anyway thank you for asking and thank you for what you do. Norm
Amen Pauly... Preach It Brother... Preach it LOUD! I have been an outspoken commenter and debunker on all of the Fake=Gold channels. Because, it is as you say, those that are not educated in mining watch them and think they can (hopefully) do the same and perhaps provide and put food on the table for their family. And that's what 'ticks me off' the most. Now if they were to say that the following (or preceding) was for entertainment only and wasn't real... I'd not be as upset with these guys. This opinion is solely mine and based on my family mining for 3 generations.
Good work Pauly, I hope alot of people take note of the fakes. Yourself , Chris , Levi and Dan are the best for learning actual real life expectations and prospecting tips. I recommend your channel to every prospector I meet.
Spot on mate, 💯000% Well done A lot of people can't tell the difference, but the more truthful videos there are should drown out the fakes. Love your work mate
Good video - great humor, definitely an entertaining video. I got comments on my video covering the same topic telling me that I was an idiot because those guys finding tons of gold were totally real and not fake. Sometimes people believe what they want to, and ignore the facts. Its the kind of thing that is difficult to respond to.
Pioneer poly I've been a big fan for a long time but really speak. I really appreciate what you do. Being a personal prospector myself. I know the long hours and time it goes into doing what you doing. But please take this Golden Nugget home. This is one subscriber you will never lose. 🥇
Nicely done Pauly. The true meaning of prospecting is the joy and adventure in the hunting. I saw a few of those videos and was laughing my a** off. Great job. Now get back out there and show us some more adventures :) David
Thanks Pauly for adding some clarification to these crazy videos. We all have bills to pay but I like you, Dan and Chris when it comes to real prospecting content!
I agree with all of your points. I have a geology background and have observed all of the faults you point out. There is also the geological facts about gold deposits that you point out as well. I can easily see the biggest fake videos just by their caption and their thumbnail. There are a lot of fakes out their, wishing (I guess due to a " little" something they need to compensate for) that they are bigger and badder than anyone.
Thanks Pauly! These guys are super annoying. Just to be clear the flat egg sized nugget at 4:14 is a real find at my friends, Abyss Dredging. Which is why they were so excited! Which Pauly already told us, but I'm repeating it anyway.
I’m so glad i found u.i’ve never gone prospecting or searching for gemstones..but following you,it feels like i have🙈..and i feel like an expert also😅 thank u so much Pauly..for the knowledge and adventures!😊
Are telling me I can not walk over to the Fraser river and pull out a fist sized nugget in 1 minute? say it ain't so. lol. I love watching you and Dan, as you are in the areas I grew up. I have found gold when I was a little one, up around Harrison, did some gold panning at some of the places up there that used to be around to learn. No idea if they are still around up there. Lots of fun to be had just going to some of the open places you 2 mention and just have a day of fun out in nature.
Thanks Pauly. An on point video. I love watching prospecting vids, and have dipped the occasional pan my self. I find these fake finds frustrating, and as you said real finds of that size make the news.....
Love your work Pauly,it still amazes me how U Tube allows this crap to be on their platform, but as you said clicks equals money. I know more than half of what we see on u tube is rubbish, but so is life. Glad you are doing well, and standing up for the real people, who work their arses off,just to sustain their own lives. Keep it up, you have earned your reputation on truth and deserve everything that you get. Good humour as well, helps.
Awesome video Pauly. Very well put together. LOL, have to admit....... I've "checked" out a few of those you mentioned. And yeah, it's like no way are these legit. I'm just grateful that after viewing them that their content doesn't come up on my suggested list. Makes me glad though when I see a new video from Pioneer Pauly, Dan Hurd, and a few others show up with new videos. THOSE I know are going to be good, as well as legit. :)
Yes. I am also glad those videos aren't spamming my recommended after having infrequently clicked those junk videos. It is however interesting that the youtube AI can tell muggles from prospectors, but mostly recommended terrible content.
I must be odd, but I like videos like yours, Chris’s, Dan’s, Krissy’s and Levi’s and all of you find pickers, flower gold or very small nuggets. The happiness you all get from finding any gold regardless of size is what keeps me watching
I’m shocked someone would try to fake find gold. Just shocked. I saw Andy in a couple of your legit prospector scenes and I can’t wait to see his new excavator and trammel in action. Stay weird my friend.
I've watched a few of these videos thought they weren't real. so glad to see that you the professional Gold prospecter has pointed these videos out. Love your content's.
Love this video. It’s good to call them out on BS. But I also love seeing all the hard work you put in and how much you educate. Keep it up Pauly!!!!!!
Well said. A few years ago,I watched about 4 or 5 videos each of Beard and Maximov,and thought it weird that they showed no emotion from their finds. Then noticed their comments were turned off,so no one could write what rubbish they were showing. I`m subscribed to Vo-gus (I`m in Australia) and he gets excited over a couple specs....big difference to Beard/Maximov with no emotion with avocado-sized stuff. Beards videos reminded me of the episode of MASH where Hawkeye painted a whole field of rocks to annoy Maj. Burns.
Pauly, I loved this video. So entertaining and spot on. It is frustrating to see all these fakes. I've worked incredibly hard for my (467) subs. 😢 I definitely need better thumbnails! And you're right, editing dredging video is hard.
Thanks for pointing out the deceptive nature of all of those channels. It disgusts me that these criminals make a lot of money by deceiving us. Thanks man.
*and here's a pine cone 🤣 That dose of random got me lol Excellent vid Pauly 👍 it's great to see some of the "content" out there being pointed out as, um, not exactly genuine lol
Ok. That video just did it. You are my first ... subscription on youtube😂😂😂 there are sooo many rivers and creeks around me in Quebec. Really wish i could try but feels like i would waste my time. So, since i found your channel, i go under water with you , hold my breath with you&scream when you find something. Keep up your amazing "un-fake" work👍👌❣️😘
Hey Polly loved it! You tell it how it is! I hate all that fake crap too. I would love to do what you do but I have bad knees and can't get around the river well. Always has dreamed of prospecting but now getting older and doesn't look like something I'll be doing so I love to watch real Prospectors like you. Thank you John
Thanks Paula, been watching you, Dan Hurd, and Jeff Williams for years… much appreciate your adventures and humor. It is ashamed that these fake finds get any attention. I wish you and all the other real prospectors the best… including more subscriptions and likes. 😁
Thanks for making this video Pauly you nailed it. It’s these fake people that prompted me to stop making gold nugget detecting videos as myself spending all day to find 2x .33g nuggets just doesn’t cut it agents finding kilo’s in potting mix in minutes. We will definitely follow more of your adventures and let’s hope the fakes fall on their faces. Cheers Hoff.
I had actually been subscribed to the Golden Beard channel for a long time because I thought it was awesome how big of nuggets they were finding, but this video explained how it was all fake. Thanks for exposing the methods they use to make these videos, and I hope you make more videos like it in the future!
This was amazing would love to see more please!!! And yes its so sad to see a so much fake videos like that. So glad to see the real prospectors working like Dan ! You all are amazing and keep up the great work!!
I just want to say whatever challenges you are facing, are only challenges. You have everything you need right now to get through them. 🙏
Thank you for the uplifting message. Keep doing what you're doing. Great video 👍😁

Pauly, I loved this video. So entertaining and spot on. It is frustrating to see all these fakes. I've worked incredibly hard for my (467) subs. 😢 I definitely need better thumbnails! And you're right, editing dredging video is hard.
I never have those pop up in my feed thankfully. Always enjoy and appreciate your videos.
Thanks for pointing out the deceptive nature of all of those channels. It disgusts me that these criminals make a lot of money by deceiving us. Thanks man.
This is exactly what people want to see! Great video bro very informative and interesting and keeps your attention!
Thanks Pauli, about time a real prospector debunks these guys
Editing made me laugh aloud several times. Thanks for the informative and funny video
I'm so glad someone is calling these people out. These fake gold and gemstone "prospectors" irritate me to no end. Good on you Pauly.
Excellent editing and debunking on this video Pauly!
*and here's a pine cone 🤣
That dose of random got me lol
Excellent vid Pauly 👍 it's great to see some of the "content" out there being pointed out as, um, not exactly genuine lol
Nice job with keeping it REAL! Love ya Pauly and all you all!
Cracking video Pauly mate. I really enjoyed it 👍👍 I would happily watch more like this
I've been watching and learning from you for years. I must say you are truly a "Pioneer" in what you do 🍻
Ok. That video just did it. You are my first ... subscription on youtube😂😂😂 there are sooo many rivers and creeks around me in Quebec. Really wish i could try but feels like i would waste my time. So, since i found your channel, i go under water with you , hold my breath with you&scream when you find something. Keep up your amazing "un-fake" work👍👌❣️😘
Hey Polly loved it! You tell it how it is! I hate all that fake crap too. I would love to do what you do but I have bad knees and can't get around the river well. Always has dreamed of prospecting but now getting older and doesn't look like something I'll be doing so I love to watch real Prospectors like you. Thank you John
Thanks Paula, been watching you, Dan Hurd, and Jeff Williams for years… much appreciate your adventures and humor. It is ashamed that these fake finds get any attention. I wish you and all the other real prospectors the best… including more subscriptions and likes. 😁
Pauly… Dang auto correct 😡
🤣
Thanks for making this video Pauly you nailed it. It’s these fake people that prompted me to stop making gold nugget detecting videos as myself spending all day to find 2x .33g nuggets just doesn’t cut it agents finding kilo’s in potting mix in minutes. We will definitely follow more of your adventures and let’s hope the fakes fall on their faces. Cheers Hoff.
I had actually been subscribed to the Golden Beard channel for a long time because I thought it was awesome how big of nuggets they were finding, but this video explained how it was all fake. Thanks for exposing the methods they use to make these videos, and I hope you make more videos like it in the future!
Do more vids like this Pauly. I have seen those fake vids and put them down as crap straight away. Very enjoyable review. Good Onya
Thank you Pioneer Pauly. Finally someone is brave enough to speak the truth about fake gold videos.
Grate video dude.! And all so true, love your content and the hard work you put in.
Thank you for keeping
It real.
... you're awesome Pauly... always keeping it real. 👊
Good job Pauly, I've watched all those channels at some point, they seemed too good to be true and ridiculous at times. Thank you for your review👍👍👍
Saving this video for obvious repost on "those" vids! 😆 BTW, this is excellent! Very well done!
Love it man!! Keep ‘em coming!!
Thanks for posting Pauly, love the efort you and all he other's go to, to create your videos
Pauly you should do a top 10 or such of your favorite channels for prospectors and miners.
Hey Pauly, I somehow missed this when you posted. Great One - Thanks!
I always did wonder seeing these people finding huge nuggets. Thanks for the info Pauly
