    good show of gold bud. i'm a prospector from Medicine Hat and have a few claims out in the east kootenays. don't see those kind of pans where i'm digging. so nice work my friend.
    i'm here to tell ya to get yourself a 15 inch garret super sluice. my personal favorite. double your production. no fuss no muss. keep up the good work bud.

      Thanks for watching, yeah I did have a super sluice, my garage was broken into and all of my Panning gear was stolen last year so I’m slowly buying all new gear. I love the east kootenays, wish I had a claim down there too! Cheers 🍻🇨🇦🍻🇨🇦

    The gold is the brightest at 6 am. Great program.

    Nice shiny gold. Gold fever makes you do things like getting up super early, driving long distance to hang out with bears. We also have mountain lions, poison oak and snakes here in CA

      Cold Water Prospecting yeah it’s crazy what a guy will do for gold! I’ve actually been down to the yuba 3 times in the last year and had a really close call with a rattler!

    Fun to watch your vid. I live right there next to the creek.
    It’s a great pastime to find where the gold is.

      M Thiessen thanks. I’d be down there all the time if I lived right there. I’ve heard of other doing much better than I did, I’ve only been there twice .

      Gold Freak Miner it’s very high water right now, about 4’ deep and very high flow rate.
      Will be interesting to see where the gold settles out this summer.

      Aaron Gold Freak Miner yeah I’m going back to visit my family in November and I’ll bring my panning gear in case I get time to sneak away. I’m tired of washing gravel and coming up with the odd speck of color in the Crowsnest Pass area. Just bought a claim in fort Steele but I think it’s a dud so far 🧐

    There are better spots on the creek if you look around enough. If you go to the power station at the end of Hollywood Rd. you should be able to get close to a gram a day if you get on a streak.

      where is the power station exactly? i walked to the 11.5km marker from the parking lot on hollywood s but did not see any power station
      no colour panning as yet may have to dig deeper, some good spots to pan tho

    Where do you go to sell your gold? I live in the area and I'm going to give gold panning a try , since I love hiking and exploring nature anyway.

    • @goldfreakminer2826
      @goldfreakminer2826  5 років тому

      PathosAres it takes a LOT of panning to add up to any $ value. I will never sell it, maybe make things out of it. Thanks for watching!
