People ragging on him have obviously never done any good prospecting. That’s a hell of a good day anywhere
That’s because they mostly have hobbies that cost them money where the wiser have money making hobbies

Try painting cars for a hobby, it'll pay very well

How to Get Rich Mining for GOLD... ignore the gold and sell tools and supplies to miners.
Hell these guys apparently even sell you the dirt to process yourself lol.
Isn't that how most people who got rich during any gold rush, did it?
Some people go fishing to relax. They buy boats and rods and bait. I imagine this is kinda the same thing except instead of getting fish to eat, you get a tiny jar of gold to show the kids.
yes dont forget abought the saloons and brothels too.
Spain did take most of the gold.
That's about $190 worth of gold for 1 day of playing around doing a hobby. Most people work 8 hours and don't even make that much. Kudos to you sir!
$230 if it’s 18carat
Plus he has fun and it's not stuck inside 4 walls or a job they hate
Man if you can do 5 days a week thats $1000....$4000 a month. Yes its not guaranteed or steady, but at least it can become a self funding Hobby. Get some good equipment and the dividend of this could be considerable.
@@shukthy raw river bed gold is usually 20- 22 carat.
The impure gold is mostly found below the ground. It's usually mixed with silver or other heavy metals. But river bed gold is usually 20-22 carats.

So true!!!🤣

Most of you all don't factor in the most important thing about this whole video. That fact that this gentleman is able to spend five hours on a Washington beach is enough wealth for anyone. The fact he gets to take home $180-$200/day for doing so? Sir, you are my hero! 🇺🇸
Absolutely! Reading the sore replies like "I better keep my day job", "that's not much", "take a shot every time he says 'all that gold'" etc makes me think people have lost their minds. SMH.
This is awesome!
@@butacska *Californians 🙄
I still don't get it, there's gold like that in the sand on the beach? That's pretty awsome, looks like a fun day for sure.
Obviously you have never been to a beach in Washington...I would spend a week in south Tacoma before I spent half an hour on our nasty, cold, windy, dirty beaches.
@@MoragTong_ take ur negativity and put a jacket and warm clothes on and get out of the street's of Tacoma and invest some positivity in the nature. And learn to have real fun not city street fun.

Gold rush yeeeee

Hahaha how dare you! Lol! 😂 🤣
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha
jajajaja
u guys stop laughing about how he made 180 $ in 5 hours ... look at the views .. and the fun he is having
A late post to the thread. But this sums it up perfectly. Only LOSERS would knock this. Go fishing. Go shopping. It is called recreation. This is too. With benefits......
@the epic sus Yeah it is, 190$ (approximately) divided by 5 hours is 38$/hour. The average hourly wage in the US is 15.35$
Not only that but look at the date and look how much gold is worth today!!..its probably near worth double so let them laugh!!
The real gold is in the views he's getting. Kudos Sir!
So many negative Nancy's..Dude is having fun and finding gold..why not just STFU and let him be happy with his gold! I thought it was a pretty Damn good vid
I don't really understand the hate behind this at all lol
@Rogue Mentality well why dont you stfu being mean to random people
hey the gold was pretty good but the vid its self was just to much of him sitting there talking we want to see the mining part and the end result not every single step of clean up and how long it takes but A for effort
Hou are Nice man
right? don't plenty of people out there spend thousands of dollars on video games? at least this guy is outside getting some fresh air.
Dredge the American river up near Placerville, CA. by the Alpha & Omega mine tailings piles. Right about the end of the inside bend of the river there. I regularly pulled a quarter ounce average per day from there. Black sand is little pay-off compared to having a river, a dredge and a sluice doing your work for you. Always got enough gold to get a hotel room, a steak dinner, a tank of gas, beer, ice, bullets, some entertainment time sitting at a slot machine up in Tahoe. Cool, Truckee...plenty of interesting towns through there. Gold fever is real, gold becomes your every thought. You don't expect to get rich at all. The wealth is in the being out in most beautiful nature, the fun of the hobby, the dreams, the excitement of finding a nugget. It pays *just* enough to keep your hopes up! ha ha! Even made up for time away from work.
Bears and criminals are the only problems. I carried a lever action .44 Magnum rifle and a Dan Wesson .357 for the criminals and a can of spray for the curious bears that I love too dearly to shoot at. "Go on, big furry fella - I aint got no lunch for ya!" Ha ha! I smile even now, thinking about how them bears scurry off if you just wave your arms and shout at them! Bless their hearts.The equipment was paid for within 9 months, It probably paid for my new Chevy Blazer, too. I met many good, rough honest people. I would hand a local a hand-held CB radio, set the channel and have my emergency line...buy him or her a dinner and drink when I got back. I did hear-tell of a feller getting his hip waders filled up with that ice-cold river water, going numb, couldn't fight any more, drowned in two and a half feet of water. There was a very fancy four star restaurant right off of I-50 that I would coffee-up at. Waiter hand-roasted, hand ground and percolated a pot (fine silver) just for you, stood beside you the whole time there, towel draped over arm. Silk doily on the saucer. Bone porcelain china, fine silver tableware. I'd hand him my dirty rusty beat-up old Union Carbide thermos that grampa used fishin' salmon in Alaska back in the 40's. The Maitre D' asked how one holds their little pinky out while sipping from the tin cup thermos cap. Great times. THAT, my friend - is the wealth one gains from prospectin'.
good story brother!
skeggjold gunnr How did you carry any weapon? You live in California.
Bill Cosby ha ha!! That’s funny! Early 80’s and such, ya know. I bought my three HK’s there. Model 91, model 93, .45 compact. California used to be a bit sensible still. Some parts of California - the people don’t pay much mind to the commie filth wretches - or their hatred of constitutional freedoms or the like. There’s freedom for those that TAKE it. For those that command it. I earned it in Grenada and Honduras, wouldn’t have some freak having any say in it, either. It’s common in them parts still to this day to be prepared out in them parts. I ignore laws that are illegal anyway. Better to maybe offend some Frisco freak than to set myself up to be a victim.
How could he drown in two and a half feet of water when all he had to do was sit up? or Stand up! Imagine that! Standing...lol
bill cosby? I thought you were in prison 🤔
Why do I always get hooked on gold videos in the winter?... Going camping and panning is so far away!
It blows my mind that everybody tries to justify the cost versus time like a job. They can't seem to understand this is something you love to do and is a hobby. Ask them how much they get paid to play golf or go swimming ? How much do you get paid to go camping or to ride a bike ? Why is everything always have to be pinned to money which is just a piece of paper. Very SAD
ooooh thank you Scott, i got tired of hearing it too and stopped commenting on those thinking it is a waste of time or how much $ i brought it for that day. You Rock for being real. Yes people i am not doing this for money, i am a business owner who makes way more than this in a single day. Every prospector has a day job. It is a fun hobby and a not a bill payer.
Not everybody, just the loudest.
Well said my freind
Its the fun of finding it. You never know what you are going to find. Great comment also about the money. People who dont do it dont understand. Damn near 5 grams of fine gold is awesome. Just think, its 200 extra bucks you didnt have sitting in those vials. Great video.
For this sort of video you can't blame the people who are commenting and asking how much the earned, curiosity isn't bad in anyway.
It isn't obvious that it is a hobby, especially if they haven't clarified it in the video or description.
Drinking game: Every time he says "all that gold," take a shot.

Isht sgreat hame gane gameeeeee
Lol all that gold, look at all that gold f me thought the man was gunna pour a bar!
Glad he didn't, would of blown 4 of the last 5 grams out with the oxy!
Cal de rambulan.......”thud”
In my final clean up if I was getting a lot of fine gold like that, as you pointed out yourself some will float on the surface tension. I would put a drop or 2 of washing up detergent in the pan and that stopped any of it floating and possibly getting lost ...... again.
Pretty good result for the amount of ground you put through, just a pain that it's so very fine.
18:54 when your dealer askes what you wnt
We all have told our dealers to put it in a jar
Made me laugh.... Thankx
You ain't right man, but you ain't wrong either.

I wouldn't quit my job but any hobby that makes money is good.
If he were to work that daily he could make around 180k a year. Granted there would be no time off though, and these would be at least 8 hour days.
Hiding the gold from the wife this man is a legend lol 😆
Very nice work good sir. People don't realize that is a hell of a day for 15 buckets and it is super difficult to catch gold that fine. Thanks for the great video.
Well thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching
WOW, that is crazy cool my friend. Very impressive and makes me want to go to the Oregon Coast and try it out.
I love seeing gold, I need some land out west, thanks for the vide, fun to watch.
Another great gold vid. I like the GoldCube. Thanks CR
Those are exceptionally fine particles . Reminds me of some eye shadow that I have. It looks so pretty in the black sand.

Looks great!! Wish I can get a setup like that. Happy hunting.
Some years ago my sister bought a property in Oregon, it had a creek running through, the bed of the creek was black sand. We bought some simple equipment and started to pan for gold, off and on for three days. On the third day, the neighbor told us that five years previously a dredger had been through and cleaned out the creek. Would have had to wait about 1000 years for more to be washed down from the hills!!! I did take a jar of sand home as a reminder of my three days as a prospector. But we had fun😬
I am so happy to have seen you I wish you the very best of.
***Brandl***
I made my clean up sluice out of a river sluice and put a valve on the intake to be able to control the water put into the sluice but love the gold footage keep it up!!!
Do you ever use Finish ( for dishwasher ) or a drop of detergent to break the water tension so that the small finds drop to the bottom and not float? Also, in your pan, have you ever used a magnet to remove the iron black sand?
I think the magnet idea has been looked into, there has been billions of people trying to figure out the black sand problem was curious about soap and how other chems would affect it.........how about cooking the moisture out to a certain temp , then quench it with with something that makes to sand float?
commonconservative , the black sand is primarily iron so a magnet does a good job removing most of it. The Finish liquid or dish soap breaks the water tension so the tiny flakes of gold will drop to the bottom but the idea you have works after all the other has been done. Team work makes the dream work! 😉
oh man ....ideas are cool cause they lead to interesting tinkering, how about this............melt the gold and black sand together and experiment with shaking it around and just letting it melt at different temps.........then look at it and record the looks and the gold stuck to the sand, then, run it thru the sluice to capture the big meatballs of sand and gold........if it works let me know please
will the sand pop like rocks when heated?
commonconservative 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This reminds me of my teenage years hanging out with my grandpa and uncles. i'm from Montana and used to frequently visit places like Bannack and Virginia City and pan for gold near by. Had a few spots up in the high country we would frequent as well.
Next time you get a bucket of concentrates put take black sand and heat red hot with torch and throw it in water. Sometimes alot of the gold is coated in an iron oxide. Heating red hot and quenching in water breaks outside oxide coating leaving visible gold. Heating also converts hematite sand in magnetite sands which can removed with magnet.
I wonder how much ppl have lost because of the oxide coating. Do you recover some everytime or is it a hit and miss kinda thing depending on your location
The thing is, you made $187 in today's value. The great thing is gold being the standard, your payday will never be less that it was on the day you earned it. That is a beautiful thing. My first job was minimum wage making $4.25/hr kinda crazy to think minimum wage has pretty much doubled in 25 years and you aren't any better off.
I say the same thing every time someone tells me the minimum wage is too low: Show me someone who got rich from the minimum wage going up.
Basic math. Minimum wage is for entry-level, unskilled labor. That's the very basis of the economy: digging ditches, stocking shelves, asking if they want fries with that (Not hating: I deliver pizza). If the cost of that unskilled labor goes up, then the prices of the products go up. Ergo, the unskilled, minimum wage worker now has to pay more for the products they buy. Fucking magic!!! XD
Where do you live? The US hasn't been on the gold standard for decades.
I didn't quite understand that part of his comment, but I'm not sure he was saying "The US is on the gold standard." Maybe he'll elaborate.
I STARTED AT 1.75 AN HOUR IN 1976
@EvilSearchEngine-- Your logic is flawed by the fact that prices ALWAYS go UP, even if wages don't. Minimum wage MUST increase just to keep up with inflation, and a minimum wage increase has NEVER driven inflation, it's a fallacy. Until recently minimum wage hadn't gone up for YEARS. In fact, the minimum wage didn't go up at all for ELEVEN YEARS from 1980-1991, the Reagan/Bush years, and decades longer for "tipped workers" like waiters. While you seem to think that minimum wage is only for teenagers, if you actually look at who is receiving minimum wage you will see that most minimum wage workers are actually adults, most with small children to support. Many of those minimum wage earners have educations and college degrees but can't find jobs in their fields. It's not nearly as simple as you've made it out to be.
I'm a Goldsmith so the time vs cost thing to me doesn't matter if I'm gaining working material in the end

@@divichittibabu2008 wtf does this mean
Wonderful video; makes me miss Washington and Oregon. I hope all those people living in RVs out there, especially the women who are on tight fixed budgets, see this and realize they don't have to just go to a 'Rubber Road Rendevous' and sit around a campfire but could go to public parks and double or triple their income on a monthly basis with a little work, good warm clothes and an investment in equipment.
As long as you had fun and enjoyed yourself! That's all the really matters! Great job!
Awesome haul bud! That's some good sand. Much love from California.
Wait, gold is worth $42 per gram, so since me got 5 grams in a day, that's about $210 per day which isn't bad.
It's for sure more than I make on the factory floor. I'd wager it's a bit more fun as well!
Its not $210 per day... This video took him several days of waiting for it to clean etc... Its not good investment.
Its a lot in my country😂 even my self just earn roughly around 60 bucks for a month
Well if you make 60bucks a month then your country is probably not that rich, and if its not that rich you probably wont find a lot of this rare materials...
$38. per gram today.
A little surfactant to break water tension will stop your gold from floating. Great video, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Wow! Sand is easy digging Aswell! Wish I had ground like that to work!
If you add 99% isopropyl alcohol to your wet gold powder it will dry a lot faster. The water forms an azeotrope with the IPA and gets pulled by it, resulting in a much faster evaporation rate.
Dude, the guy has trouble adding up numbers with 1 decimal and now you tell him to do "this", have some pity.
@@RenzitoARG you sound pretty rude...
You can always cook it in a pan to dry it. It'll only take a few minutes depending on how much you're drying.
kudos to the man who has figured out how to mine/sluice/pan invisible gold !!!

Todd Hoffman didn’t get that much in 2 seasons on the gold rush 😂😂😂👍good job 👌
It looks like fun. Do something with your kid like this, they will remember it forever
I like it when you say look at all that gold and you CAN'T see sh_t but after doing the cleaning you got a nice little haul it paid for the trip mate and a nice day out well done mate and i will see you next time.
Hi, I saw your setup for cleaning up your sand from the gold and I asked myself, why you don't use a "Water Separation Table"? I used them a lot and with the right setup you get even the smallest parts cleanly separated on the first run through.
Awesome job and nice video! Happy hunting!
For those who think that's not a lot of gold, they don't realize that when you're in an area that is historically known for having gold beneath the surface, there is the potential for finding quite a lot of gold. A 10' x 10' x 3' deep area can hold many thousands of dollars worth of fine gold that couldn't be seen until the dirt was processed. Gold folks call that kind "invisible gold" and it's the most abundant type in the world.
My boys just watched your video and want to visit your beach spot~great video
You should use an old wool blanket to get that small gold you said goes through your sluice Staple it to a 5/8" plywood after a nugget trap on a 24 degree angle . I have caught 3 grams on a blanket 6"longX12" wide . It works and I have pictures of it . The gold cube format is pretty close to what mine is designed like only I have the wool blanket on the bottom and the steeper angle . reason it works is it uses the angle of repose to get rid of the blondes and the black sands . The gold at this size is not round but flat which lends it self to being trapped in the wool blanket and the rounder blacks and blondes continue on down the sluice
How hard is it to clean the blanket and how do u go about that. Not a prospector cuz of location but curious as to how you do it.
Wow! Amazing results! Looks very fine, similar to ours :) Keep on and best regards!
That's very nice. I wish I could find those quantities in my neck of the woods!
Reminds me of when I'd wash my trim to make hash ya always loose a little
heheh, yeah when california did prop 415 all those years ago i ran out there to grow. hash was made with just a colander and a bowl. i felt like a 49er :)
This is a hobby. No different from fishing. Except you might pay for your equipment.
You pay for your fishing equipment too...
@@bojaiden5175 Not necessarily. A lot of the fishing shacks around here have been broken into.

Think I would dry gold dust by putting it in a small metal bowl and heating it up on the stove
There be gold in that bucket! Very cool video, thanks for sharing.
Good vid. Keep having fun
Chemist tip... if you do a final wash on isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, or acetone (anything that quickly evaporates at room temperature), you can cut down your complete drying time to 30ish minutes or less.
I'm a chemist as well and I agree. One quick rinse with 99% isopropyl and then with acetone and it should evaporate within minutes.
@@SparkyMcBiff I'm a physicist, I actually failed freshman chemistry 😂 I've gotten better though, dont know how you chemists do it.
speaking of gold rush . they heat the gold to dry it out.
Really, how much would that increase the cost. This is interesting but not significantly remunerative.
I'm a fisherman...just put it in a frying pan, turn on the heat and dry it.
I think he meant to say ALL THAT GOLD....this guy has gold fever!
My 1st thought was could you ask Todd Hoffman if he would sell you the machine with the green tray that separates the sand from the gold? Lol
This is a awesome vid. Will look forward to watching more on you’re channel.
Nice set up. Have never seen this before. Good on you.
Nice catch!!! I went out near my house (in the city) and decided to just test pan because im still learning and want practice. And i came upon a spot tjat is not known of, not for gold at least. And i pulled 13.3 grams out in 5 hours. No joke. I put a video up on my channel yesterday. Im scared to tell anyone where it's at to be honest. But it's definitely NOT where anyone would ever expect. I am still trying to figure out where it came from. The source. I wish i knew more people into this and wish i could trust showing someone because there is SO MUCH MORE to go and get. It's not a small spot by any means. And I didn't just get it from one spot I could have just stayed in one spot but I went from different spot to different spot until I just got tired and then I went home. And these are some big chunks to so I suspect I'm going to find some really big monkers
@Joe Smeth yep!
this is great i envy you folks out west i just started a channel about metal detecting on east coast for old coins
You can pan basically anywhere but Florida
@@jaredcoleman5376
Yeah but just cuz you can pan doesn't mean it's worth it. I live in iowa and while there is gold in the river, there isn't hardly any and what is in there is very fine. You can pan all year and not have enough to make it worth showing someone. I would rather spend my time mushroom hunting then chasing that gold. I wish it was worth it and am also envious of ppl who live where it's a worthwhile hobby.
@@mikewebb8321 oh me too I live in Georgia and theirs some great spots of you know where to look but theirs places I’d much rather prospect
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow, I’m going through the same thing too…It’s an exciting feeling to first think you have no gold, but then tap on rich black sands and it’s gold city. Congrats.
Thanks For Watching

Good for you! I ain't talkin but I know a better way! No chemicals, no damage to the environment! Great video!
Thank you for the comment
Thank for comment
respect to u miner. all these people got to say something and they not evening mining. your the one who having fun and making some money of it. :)
We're getting setup to mine that sand down to there to next year. We're up the river on the Oregon side and it's just over a 3 hour drive for us from here so it's not that bad. Looking forward to getting down there for the weekend and digging in the sand. Hope to maybe run across you there someday and chat some. Thanks for the videos and the advice. My setup I've put together is pretty much the same as you're minus the extra Gold Cube stacks. I've upgraded my Gold Cube with the low profile v mat for the slick plate and replaced the vortex mats with the sawtooth mats curious more about your opinion and success with the sawtooth mats so far?
Hello Don
Thanks for nice comments and the purchase of the sawtooth mat from us. The sawtooth mat works the best when running this beach sand. Reason for that is Hydraulic Equivalence. Meaning the size of the black sand and the gold have the same settling velocity under the same condition. The sawtooth mat using a back eddie in each ripple helps keep the gold from leaving and move the same size black sand out of the ripple. Thou not perfect but what a difference you will notice switching from the Vortex mat to the Sawtooth mat. If you need any further convincing, Mike Pung from Gold Cube has tested this mat from me and was impressed with it. It simply out performed the vortex mat on beach sand and vegetation dirt. It will be introduced in the cube come February 2019. This beach sand needs more time to process thru any type of sluice. The more sluice you have the more faster you can run the sand. We are using 9.5 cf of sluice. Limit is 10 cf. We run 300 lbs before we stop and do a quick clean up. So for your setup i would keep it too 2 buckets per hour with a clean up after every 2 buckets. Use the V-mat as your window. Add one scoop to the top tray and wait 30-40 seconds for it to clear out the black sand. Get a look at the gold, if you see just a few pieces, then look elsewhere. You should see 20-50 colors per scoop as good ground. Hope that helps. We will be out this coming weekend for a 4 day New Years Eve trip. If you are there then yes come say hi. Good Luck!
Lower the pitch of your box to 6 degree and add more water flow. There won't be so much gold at the end of your box. Great gold!! Wow.
Lower the angle of the head kick and add more power to the twist of the hips.There won't be so much clattering coming out of the muslims mouth.Great knockout!! Wow.

Haha wtf? I think that kid was trying to be funny or somethin but failed miserably. XD
At the current price of gold rounding off to $1200/oz x 0.2 ounces (4.8 grams) = $240 for 2 days work plus all the equipment cost, travel to get there, etc, ... Like the other 2 guys said some people spend their money on fishing, and you would make more $$ selling the equipment to the potential miners. :)
Advanced Nutrition Inc well, you only have to pay for the equipment once and after that is maintenance cost which given the lack of moving parts I would guess is very low. If he did this full time I’d say he could probably make a decent living mining and trading gold.
Gold Price per Gram today is $38.86. So let's be generous and say he could retrieve 10 grams a day if he was fully operational and maximised efficiency. That's a reasonable income, but you'd spend 48 weeks per year standing in mud. I always associated gold mining with a massive windfall at some point. As opposed to actually working for a living.
Tbf it's a hobby that does pay you back some
Advanced Nutrition Inc, actually, approximately 0.15 troy ounces or more like $180, but your point is still valid. :-)
Wow that was a awesome run congrats! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Nice set up there! I havd always wanted to try my hand in looking for gold!!!!!
Keep it up bro!
4.2 GRAMS, @ $1241 per Oz = $186... looks like about 23 bucks an hour. after truck, gas, insurance, tools, taxes and the rig...
and i was thinking of quitting the day job, but i remembered the ol' ball and chain and the rugrats need to eat and some flu shots and shoes...
but, i'm sure it is a hell of a lot more fun than grinding through excel worksheets all day!
therealnightwriter While I'll say that I'm honestly dubious of the efficacy of annual flu shots with how often influenza mutates, I also must say that spending money on vitamin C (unless you have a deficiency or reccomendation by a trusted doctor!) is literally pissing your money away. Vitamin C in supplement form is not absorbed very well, and is honestly just pushed straight through your system unless you have a deficiency, as stated before. There is little to no evidence to support any claims of it helping clear viral illness or infection, and quite a bit of evidence to support that it simply has no effect at all. Just make sure that you're maintaining a balanced diet based upon your own metabolism and needs, and that you exercise regularly, and you'll be mostly fine ;)
Why not just consume vitamin c enriched foods like carrots?

_"Flu shots are a scam and dangerous. When you get sick..."_
You do realise how much of an idiot you've made of yourself, don't you? If you're sick, it's *TOO LATE.* The flu shot, as with any and all vaccines, must be administered BEFORE you contract the infection and AFTER your body has had a chance to make antibodies.
You don't understand how flu shots work. You're a moron.
If that is .999 pure gold, that i doubt
learn how to do math its around 38 dollars an hour
You should try spinning your heavies to the outside with centrifugal force. Or a shaker table or even a vibrating table. You may get better separation results
Damn nice haul for that operation!
I don't think most of you guys get it. It's not about him making tons of money and becoming a millionaire, it's just a hobby that might make some money
It's a Business. He's Selling PRODUCTS.
You could dry it out in just a couple hours if you put it in a glass and sit it in a crockpot full of sand on low.
Thank you for the tip!
You dry it in a metal gold pan on the stove low heat. its metal..daaa!
marry me
Strait up on the beach...nice... wow...
New to your channel...seen ya in Deer Park Farmstead stream
Thanks for the video, it was so fun to watch.
Id love to try gold digging or anything to do with gold...it looks fun
I do this in New Zealand lol, Central Otago to be exact. Haven't had huge scores but a few decent small ones.
Matt Shoey .....show off lol.....I heard you guys had all the gold down your way...closest we probably gonna get up in Gisborne here would be found staring in a Gold beer bottle 😀😀
You should get one of those new iridium magnets that pick up gold and only gold. Put one in a plastic bag, tie a rope to it, then cast it into the surf. The waves roll it in the sand picking up all the gold. When it's covered you pull it out, carefully turn the bag inside out, and then go home with a bag of pure gold collected while you were sitting on your cooler drinking beer.
What did you guys expect? big nuggets of gold? i think some of you here commenting dont understand how precious a metal gold IS. And especially when he is finding gold though this running water, you are much more likely to get specks of gold. But of course, all those specks of gold add up.
The contraption he has for the running water was very very impressive. All the tiny specks of gold glistening in the settled dirt in the big plastic apparatus he has was wonderful to see. awesome video
Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments
right on brother follow that pay line!!!!! fun video thank you
Yea wished i stayed at the time because the spot was almost endless black sand paydirt
5 grams at todays price = ~$200
$40 per hour, not bad
Logan Williams no cuz it took him all time at home too.
@@yabodabodooo644 well it said 5 hours in just working with what I know, you assumed he didn't include that time. I will not assume that.
Connor G exactly... if it was easy everyone would do it
@Connor G chill pill, in the title it says 5 hrs. Can't you read? Also he said 5g of gold not 14k gold just gold so shut your opposite of advanced mouth.
make your self a tray similar to the gold cube but it has to be on a steeper angle 24 degrees . No matts or riffles just cover the bottom with an old wool blanket staple in place or glue. This works for fine gold very well . There is more gold and less black sand . black sand is a harder material and is more rounded ( spherical) and its angle of repose is less than the flatter softer heavier gold thus the steeper angle . I have collected similar sized gold on a tray only 12"x6" square in the order of 3 grams on one hot spot. The black sand to gold ratio was a lot closer then what you have here . the ancients were right about the golden fleece it does work
Keep it going brother
When you started the water, did you run your fingers or a brush over the mat to get rid of the bubbles? The bubbles let the fine gold skate out.
I second the surfactant suggestion.
3.25g + 1.62g = 4.87g @ approximately $1200/ounce = $188 worth of gold. Over 5 hours = $37.60/hour. Not too bad. I just wouldn't be shopping for a new lambo yet :)
5 hours my butt. The time at the beach, plus the time at home, plus the time panning.
its not .999 pure
Less your 15% fees. Nobody's just going to hand you the day's price of the metal. They've got to take their cut as well.
5 hours for two people...plus 3-4 hours at home cleaning up the paydirt...plus let's say they have to put 1/3 of their profit back into supplies, gas, etc...looking at about $10/hr.
This was several days, not just 5 hrs. Then was the setup time, gas to drive there and back, elec to run the machines, cost of equipment, using 2 people not 1 etc etc. Also gold is not 100% pure so price is off, you also do not get paid market price when selling gold like this.. maybe 85% of that. End of day its min wage earnings, great to do if your retired or otherwise have secure finances and just enjoy doing it.
Smelt the crude gold to make an anode and use electrolysis to plate from anode to cathode which is pure a thin sheet .The energy used is 112 watts per gramme so 5 grams so 660 watts at 21watts an hour 32 hours approx.
Thanks for doing this video. Very useful. I subbed to your channel.
Thanks
Is this in Washington State? Why don't you use Miner's Moss for final catching?
