My biggest GOLD clean up of my life!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- I have never seen this much gold in one clean up before. Except on "Gold Rush" or the other TV shows. This was amazing to see this in person. No this is not a record for Tyler, but for me it is a first. What an epic experience this was at this placer mine. I will be back next year for more!

Wow. Despite the audio issues, this was fantastic.
Thanks for sharing this, Dan. I don't imagine many people get to witness this kind of operation.
So cool!
Thank you Dan for all the effort you put into these video's and your hobby for us!
My pleasure!
Thank you..Sir. admirably done

To those who care, hello and have a good day!👋❤
Hello and you aswell :)
Hello
Gday mate, hope you have a great day too! All the way from Australia ✌🏻
Uk says hi 😘
Nova Scotia saying what's up and have a great day ladies and gents
Thanks Dan, awesome videos. Like GoldRush without the manufactured drama!!
Glad you like them!
💯💯💯💯💯
Amen 101
Gold and drama, what more could you ask for ???

It is amazing how far sluicing has come. It seems like every time you turn around there is a new one and that one with two different ones going at the same time seemed very effective. That was very impressive seeing the amount of gold harvested. I bet the old times would be going nuts seeing these processes. A great video even without the audio.
I agree, I was thinking the same thing about those sluices, I like the one man operation all together, but those boxes would make you feel secure in knowing your not losing anything!!!
No problem having no audio. The gold speaks for itself! Thanks again Tyler and as always you too Dan.
Every time Dan heard says wish me luck I always whisper good luck Dan. I think that's great.
Great video. That was one heck of a nice cleanup! Don't worry about the audio issues Dan, these things can happen from time to time. Also wanted to say thank you for all the videos you have been releasing lately, a lot more frequent, and I appreciate all the effort that goes into making these videos for us. Cheers. Heavy Pans.
The video worked out just fine Dan. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. 👍👍👍
We just moved to BC! Can't wait until I find my first sparkles!
Great video as always Dan!!! It was awesome to have you out there.
One part of the audio that was missed was Dan explaining the weeks total was actually 3 ounces more then what we weighed out. I usually high-grade the gold in the hydraulic riffles and just run the remaining concentrates through the cleanup system.
Also Dan explains what my running costs are for myself and to make it short, I am around the 25% mark for fuel and maintenance.
Next time!
glad to know there was more…having worked with big operation on Indian River I was concerned fuel was gunna kill you.
That 3 ozs makes a huge difference. Good job out there.
Killer operation you got there, Tyler. I’m just a framer from Ontario but must’ve been a miner in a past life. I can’t get enough.
😁👍🏻
@@SlatcoAu Hey buddy! Long time glad to see you still in the hobby. You still mine in the summers?
Just finished part one great timing. Fair play Tyler well done man. I like the efficient way you process the ground and replant after. It's apparent you care about the environment and getting the gold
Huge thanks to Tyler for letting us see his operation I really like the cleanup sluice set up very cool and thanks Dan for sharing these two episodes in spite of the audio difficulties it turned out ok now you know a 1/4 gram a ton is worth small scale mining hopefully you can do this at one of your claims as owner operator I can see that’s the best way to do it to keep the employee cost down and make it profitable but that is a TON of work definitely a young man’s game thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
Don't dare apologize about the sound, Dan! I certainly couldn't hear you anyways... I had to use both ears to hold my chin up from gawking at all that 7 oz (might as well call it t by at) ! Astounding cleanup!! I'm also tickled pink that you're buying the gold for your paydirt bags! Everyone is going mad when they get them! Thank you, and Tyler, for allowing us to tag along with a huge placer mine operation! Made my day......
Tyler is awesome too. Just look at all those excavators, sluices, quads, pumps, hoses and other pieces of machinery he runs them all solo and with such efficiency. Wow😊
I'm 24 and love fishing. I'm working as an electrical engineer and don't get out as much as I'd like, but your videos have got me to start keeping a 10" gold pan and small snuffer bottle in my tackle bag and if I can't sink a hook, I can usually snipe a few good handfuls of bedrock soil from the river bed and catch a few beautiful flecks. Seeing that gold glint among the black sand on that final wash back in the pan is like nothing else. Love your videos Dan!! Stay healthy!
I am VERY BUSY in the office today, but I was not going to miss this, after watching yesterdays video!!!!!! THANKS DAN!!!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Where does one go and sell their gold after an operation like this, and is it a raw price vs a processed price ? Would love to see a video on that .
Doubt they would let you film, they're a secretive bunch gold traders. But pretty much any jewellery store or pawn shop will buy gold at a few percent below spot. I am sure dan hoards all of his gold and never sells any.
Dan I usually hit the like button even before your vids have truly begun. You know, by the time you say "Wish us luck, and I hope you enjoy! that "thumbs up" button has been clicked!
THIS time when I hit the button, I had to make this comment: Your Videos are the FIRST ones I began watching when I got interested in panning and metal detecting and you NEVER disappoint! You even introduced me to Pauly, whom I am also enjoying a ton! (TRULY wish to meet you both one day!)
Keep On Keeping On!
I'm a blockhead, not a moron! A moron would fall for that, blockheads are smerter than that!
Good Grief!
Those underwater shots in the sluice were awesome
I'm happy to see this part 2 Thanks for the great videos Dan!!!
I think the video is great just with the music and watching things happen. I like the extreme closeups whee you can see the lighter material rolling over the gold. Very good learning visual in showing how the process is really working.
Just getting to see that whole process was a treat, but seeing all that placer gold was so cool. And that sluice looks like it could be a video itself. Thanks for sharing with us Dan.
Yeah that sluice looked amazing, very cool if he built it himself
What a MASSIVE cleanout!
Congrats to Tyler and a BIG thanks to you Dan for brining us along.
OMG
I would love to move to bc
What an amazing operation Tyler has
Really cool adventure lads
Cheers
Heck, we all need a friend like Tyler!
What a fun few days of Gold Wheelin' and Dealin'
Gonna get me a bag of that Xmas Dirt, yeah!
Tyler better have you out more often. Seems as though you brought him some very good luck.
Thanks Dan we really enjoyed watching this one , my wife and I are embarking on a Gold operation in May next year , we would love to see a bit more detail on Tyler’s clean up sluice , as we would like to build one .
Thanks again Dan for all your excellent videos 😊👍🙌
Enjoyed watching your video 📹 😊 Thankyou for sharing with us. Absolutely amazing that Tyler has protected such a great system 👏 for extraction of gold. Lovely pile of gold in the pan.😀
Love watching & learning from you! You are so great at explaining every single detail and step!
Thank you.
This "patri" joined to learn..so happy I did.
I dezine & make jewelry. Gotta think of ways to put raw pieces in my dezines..
Thanks Dan. That was a great clean up. What a beautiful day.
That’s about $9500 in gold…hopefully it covers his fuel bill.
@@BreatherBoy gold is 1754 per ounce. That showed almost 7oz. I'm not a mathematician but I think your math is a little off my guy. And the fella Dan was helping out sait there was an extra 3oz not shown 17k is not a bad haul.
I've watched a couple of the gold mining shows on TV, and in spite of my interest in gold panning (I did a little casual panning long ago) I just couldn't get any enthusiasm for them. But these videos of Dan's are fantastic! I watch every one, and feel like a part of his community, like I'm included in the excitement. Well done Dan! And thank you!
Good Video Dan. I really liked Tyler's homemade double sluicing machine. It works great and oh what a haul!!
Tyler really does all this by himself? Amazing.
Probably also why everything is so neat, clean, and orderly.
Strange name.. lol
Strange name. lol

@HeadakusMaximus
This was a fun one Dan. One of the more innovative cleanup systems I have seen - he is dialed in to the local conditions for sure! Also interesting to see that his coarse gold cleanup sluice uses ribbed carpet - a simple solution that appears to work quite well.
Oh I was expecting a premier. Or had I missed that?! Ready to see this clean up! I’m going to cry along with all your viewers at all the gold that isn’t ours 😅🤘🤣
Only premiers on Sunday mornings
Even with the issues you had was one heck of a video Dan! That chonk of gold nearly looks like an anchor to me!
Wooohooo😀 Been waiting for this and I wasn’t disappointed Dan🤩 What a crazy amount of gold⛏🏴
not great for a weeks run…hopefully his fuel bill doesn’t kill him.
Nice au indeed fam. What a blast. Keep on living the dream. Gold Squad Out!!!
It was a GRREAT video Dan ... glad you kept it!!! :)
Honestly, if you didn't mention the camera errors I wouldn't have noticed the lack of audio in those shots. I would have just assumed you were going for a more cinematic looking video.
Hats off to your editing!
Tyler has a fantastic set up and a great work ethic. This video was fun to watch hope to see more of Tyler in the future along with the collaboration’s of Andy Thrax and Jason mbmm also not forgetting the irreplaceable Pauly 😂
Another great vid Dan and btw the audio was no issue in fact I liked this better as you tended to concentrate more on the mechanics filming. Once again great vid and thank you.
Holy moly that's a lot of gold! I bet that pay dirt is going to be worth it to buy! This was a fun video but I did miss the explanations.
Awesome! Enjoy the vids, rly calming.
Those green buckets are SERIOUS paydirt!!
That nugget is a cool shape! (my favorite is still the flower nugget!)
never disappointed Dan thank you🤠
The gold drop would be perfect here, and also very fun to watch it dance down the separation tube
Hey Dan, Merry Christmas thanks again for another great video!!
What a beautiful little cleanup, I would love to see a collab with one of these miners and Sreetips who does precious metal refining on UA-cam. Would be interesting to see what that 7 troy oz turned out to be when refined down to 4 or 5 nines pure gold.
Awsome amount of gold thanks for sharing dan
Are they hiring? Just got my Mines Supervisors Certificate, but of course I've got a lot to learn! 😅It was fun working with you and Andy, I want to do more of it!
Well worth the wait! ♥
Wow!! That’s incredible.
Tyler that's a fantastic clean up system. Well thought out and works perfectly 👍
Very well built! The adjustable bucket holder is brilliant!
That was really cool to see both videos and to understand all that is involved. Thinking now to get prospectors licence just for camping fun. Thanks Dan
loved the video, the camera angles and just getting to see all the beautiful gold and as always i look forward to the next adventure
At 3:19 I notice the expanded is put in for a more aggressive action (sort of 'against the grain' as it were), and have always been told (from what others heard most likely rather than through experimentation) that the expanded should lay the other way for a somewhat gentler slope to the action zone. I have done some small tests with the std Keene in both directions, and think it might be more based on the size of the chunks vs the size of the expanded rise. Thoughts?
Dan, i think this was your best edited video. When life hands you lemons make lemonade. Keep up the good work.
Everyone have a great day and a better tomorrow!
You should have put that one wild looking nugget in a paydirt bag and I bet the bags would be flying out the door! Some fantastic looking gold right there!
Holy Moly What A CleanUp
Even though your main camera lost audio it still took great pics Dan and what a super clean out for a one man operation , like could you imagine his clean outs if he was set up like Parker on Gold Rush lol 😁😆🤣😂🤑🤑🤑
Always fun to watch, Sir!
Great video, awesome to see the process! That's about $12,000 in gold at today's price. It seems like a lot of environment destruction to get at it, but at least they re-plant the land.
Always good and fun to watch Dan. Thanks.
The tree behind Dan when he explains the cutaway early on is beautiful 0.0
Dispite the audio glitch on the main camera, this was a great video! good use of editing and background music! cant wait for next video release
That was AMAZING!!! The video worked out great. I love the way you explain stuff but this was really a great balance and a nice change of pace. I hope to see more cleanups like this on YOUR claims!!!!
Just bought some of your paydirt. Can't wait to see some gold from your neck of the woods!!
Truly astonishing the world, the results are so extraordinary, the pure gold is a lot.
That was awesome. Thanks Tyler.Thanks Dan. Incredible
his setup is rad. love how it all is set to so self efficient and one man friendly.
That's a fine video, it's pure Gold
You definitely earned my subscription, and I can't wait for more. These kinds of videos motivate me to get out there more, gold or no gold....Okay, with gold would be way better, but still haha!
Great video Dan. Tyler needs to be in more videos with you.
great part 1 and part 2 videos, Tyler has the plan obviously, yep bought one of the pay dirt bags just because.
WOW GOLD! .... Can't you use your cell phone or a remote transmitter (LIKE A GARAGE DOOR OPENER DEVICE?) to shut pump off?
Dan I thought that the video was just fine. Maybe because I know what is going on helps, but the music and actions went together really well and was a fresh change
"Cleans up well" never looked so good !!
You have earned everyone of your nearly one million subscribers. Won’t be long till you crack that number.
Oh yeah!!! Just watched the previous video this morning. Pumped to see this!
Great video. Just sad we didn't get all of your explanation of how exactly the sluice was put together. Just proves Murphy is alive and well.
Next time!
Thank you Dan for another great video. Always look forward to seeing them. Keep up the good work and happy prospecting.
Naw dude, this was awesome. Love seeing that much gold! Do this more.
More to come!
How many people mentioned maybe adding narration more? You did epic with how you handled it. I was just as entertained the whole time. Maybe experiment with the opposite of the narration and have more sections like this? Amazing recovery, both with the gold and the video! ♥
I see why the bug bites that was thrilling to watch and best of all see the end results!
Beautiful clean up guys.... that sort of amount is on the brink of life changing...... around $10k or so......... be interesting to find out the running costs for the week.
Is a surfactant being used , I see a lot of foam in the discharge from both sides.???
Dan that was incredible.thanks for bringing us along,I’ve always wanted to see an operation like that.😊☮️
Lol, nice pan Dan.
The sluce ends need bubblers as well...
How many places do they remember where the was plants were? And sluice ends?
Lol. Anyway... I Bet there's old pictures some place around.
Those old mills and sluices were terribly inefficient, especially the mines, and when did they lengthen the sluices and such, little pay dirt holes where the sluice dump off was.. silly silly silly.
Merry Christmas Dan.
We ought to go out to him and replace his crap stuff with all super Shiney and really valuable things.. silver sluice and all, some gold leafing scrolling.
You have amazing finds Dan. And what is gold and gems anyway?
Just pretty to look at, we'll do some .(what Mad Jack? Franz Listz..never heard of him .. Bugs 🐰. )
Anyway.. a dirty trick, put gold under the pan surface.. lol. They would would get over it.. like a crackhead .. ever spill coke in the carpet? Something like that. Lol
Ever pan would end with " fck it" lol.
Myself I want to put an in ground, in the bedrock rock sluice, ya know?
With big rocks and then smaller stones to fill in and such.. the fine would " precipitate " right out of it.
And all we'll have to do is take out a few rocks and suction hose the the pool or bucket.. just add air, ya got plenty of moving water there.
Air and a little tiny bit of upward moving water to keep the mud moving up.. I would be catching every bit of it... gold, good to the last drop.
I do wish I was out there... I would build a huge one, or two..
Easy wash, no chemicals and hardly any noise. Just some quiet air pump turbines and some magnetic coupling water water fans or something.
Washer jets right in the dump trucks as it was moving.
Yes Dan, we are fcking idiots. 👏
Gonna try to keep it down to the bare minimum though from now on.
Recycling water through the bed of the dump, even four wheelers could have one on there. Take it off and have some big wheels for it, like a furniture dolly for those hard to reach places..
Remediation.. will need big dump trucks for many of those places, out there, Arsenic and mercury all over the place.. not a health conscious occupation, and they weren't gonna carry it back out.. dumped it right there .. and all of that dirt has to be cleaned anyway..no sense in being the idiots they were, we'll get every bit of the gold and all that out of there, help cover the cost of housing and the remediation.
Faster and cheaper too.
The fish will like their rivers cleaned up too.. moose and bear and all that drink from it. Were those eagle got all that poisoning from.. probably the fish down hill of one of them mines, legal and illegal ones.
Anyway.. might as well classify it too.. well, all that pine sap too.. that's a bit too much run off of that too sir, I'm into replanting it with more fruiting trees and all that too.
So, those gems and stones and gold and possibly silver Grey mud black mud sir? Lol.
Won't hardly loose a drop, some of that heavy black sand might be silver rich if it's not magnatite.
Just plain crazy people Dan.. uneducated.. some only lust for gold that they don't see the Forrest for the trees.
Those places are soooo mineral rich, it isn't funny, and we don't use our brains as much as we like to work and get hernia.. they use freaking fire to burn out the freaking arsenic from the rocks and sit right there huffing the fumes like camp fire stories.. lol.
Just piss poor processes.
Exceptional video Dan and Tyler. Thank you for sharing
Our pleasure!
Hi thank you Dan I need a pan like the blue one and I'm in south Africa
what a Fantastic Clean-out! amazing gold! now if only i could find that much in Vermont hahaha, but that one clean up is probably more than all of Vermont has produced in the last 50 years haha. or maybe not who knows! makes me want to go out despite the snow and cold and get some cons to bring home haha...
Many thanks Dan - that was *terrific*
Absolutely epic cleanup. Loved it. New sub
Way to go on such a run and clean up .... that's incredible 👏
man keep this content up its fantastic!
Great video! Man how cool to find that much gold!
Yes it was!
I have never in my life seen that much placer gold in my life!!!
