You guys should get your hands the "gold drop" probably the best gold cleanup piece of equipment I've ever seen. Definitely worth you guys checking out. Fantastic setup you guys got with that dredge. Hats off !
Was wondering what the classifier bucket funnel with a plug is called. I can see the sticker (barely) so it looks like it's made by Pioneer Mining. But could not find anything like it.
I was assigned to Eielson AFB from 84 to 88. There were advertisements on the radio all time for Hiney winery in Chicken Alask. Obviously a spoof but it was fun to hear the announcer to say "giver a little Hiney".
Hi.Guys.Great vid.Keenes miracle matt is great but Gold hog is way better for cleanup.Washer matt is the ticket.Does not matter what you use.I rerun my cons untill nothing shows at the top.Just saying.
Bleeding fingers and paper plates! Alternative to gloves and Pyrex casserole bowls? Put Neodymium magnet in a plastic container, easier to slough off black sand.
Quick thought. Two solo cups, one cut down slightly for the outside, drop the magnet inside the inner cup. Lift the inner cup to release the magnetics from the bottom.
How does this camp work? Do you give a percentage of your haul or pay a rental or membership fee? There is a surprising amount of infrastructure you all seem to share.
Amazing stuff ....I'm in AFRICA..I admire your great work & adventures ...I have a Question and don't know if you can help ...I 'm building a 15 inch gold dredge and wanted to know what size pump i need in HORSE POWER to run the suction nozzle.
There are many gold buyers around town in the gold areas. Not taxed. Cash on the spot. No paperwork. Yes you need a permit for a big dredge like the one in the video.
When I have sold gold both places took id and I'm sure your freindly local irs guy gets a copy and likely if you sell enough to be intresting our lovely goverment will get intrested in you
@@jeffbybee5207 I don't sell my gold, but I've been with people who have sold there gold in nome many times. They have never asked for I'd. They do ask a name but you can say jim Smith if you want. Cash on the spot every time.
We know we are watching experienced miners. Very few people have the delicate skills and awareness required to move a matt full of gold concentrates from one vessel to another . Dang ,did I get excited for you when that first spoonful went in the sluice !
@@ludwiggraupe7571 Equipment is expensive only if you choose it to be. And no fuel is needed. All you need is a pie tin. Cost less then $2. And there is plenty of ground not owned. Or owner will let you use for half the gold.
Wow! Chicken Alaska, huh? That's a good bit of gold when you fill up your clean up sluice riffles so much that gold is going all the way to the end and over the edge!! I think I would have stopped and done a couple of cleanups instead of having that much gold to re-do in your catch bucket. But hey, you guys got a great score!
@@AmericanGoldProspectors I used to live in French Guiana. They have a gram of gold for every cubic meter (sq yard) of dirt. I've thought about taking something like that and sucking the bottoms off the rivers
Every one usually runs all day and loose 3/4 of what went down its best to do more frequent cleanups less loss ...absolutely If gold in last riff shut her down for 10 minutes and start going again ...thanks for the video..
Can you recommend any resources for a random internet guy that wants to research maybe taking a summer to look for some shiny in alaska? Have the time, have the money, have the interest.
Just out of curiosity, I don't make alot of money in life, so I am kind of scared to go up and come home with a half ounce for a 5k vacation.. did you by chance see anyone alone working?? If so are they restricted to working a 4", if you did see any one alone working did you see there gold ?
You know my friends I’ve been watching you have that dredge now find the travel route that old timers went crossed the river with a lot of gold and didn’t make it I hope you know what I’m talking about millions my friend don’t forget to share 👍 good luck your the first I’ve seen doing dredge in the river crossing routes
Loved it good clean out been dreaming of coming to Alaska to mine on my bucket list u guys are Vern's best crew u should maybe consider working for yourself and having a old vet like me come work for you
@@AmericanGoldProspectors Hi, and thanks for your reply. Your channel is very good as are your videos. We have just bought a mini high banker to try our luck. Have subbed to your channel as well. Keep them coming. Natalie 😉👍🌞
Cooking gold next to spagetti,nice!!! That place is awsome,need to get there!!! Those fingers looked a bit sore,but that gold is a great pain killer!!thanks for bringing us along,keep up the good work fellas,can't wait to see week #2
That's it I'm building a 10 inch and I'm on my way to chicken damn did you have a really awesome clean out two almost three trays full that's a prospector's dream day you nailed that day so hard that you built a house out of that s*** a little Golden Palace lol 😆🙈
Where did you guys get your sluice box setup from for the dredge ? That's pretty much exactly what I want right there , That whole dredge setup is awesome and Thank You for the Great Video 👍
I was thinking, these 2 guys look familiar? You 2 guys were dredging for vernon adkison on bearing sea gold. Are you still dredging in nome for vern? I'm in Arizona doing some small scale gold mining. Thanks for sharing and great gold cleanup guys!!!
Epic clean up. More in the third run of the cons than most of us will ever see! All the years of learning to dredge have finally paid off. Looking forward to next weeks edition! ⚒
Silly question. I used to watch a gold prospecting show years ago that I thought was GPA or GPAA with a guy named Tom Massey. Is this channel affiliated with that show? I will say that the programming, Tom's and yours, is quite similar and equally enjoyable.
I have a 5 inch keene in New Zealand but have a special permit to build a 8 inch as a 6 is what can be used normally. What motor dose the 10 have please and I realy like the idea of the boil boxs and mini sluices at the front. Also glad your ears are good
You might try looking at what motor the Keene dregges have on them at the factory. Hope you make yours so you can take off endivgual pieces as you might need to pack it into places. I ve been dredging for 38 years , so been there done that. So hope you make yours portable. Honda s get the best gas milage, and dont seem to break down so much.
I like your videos where have you been haven't seen any new stuff in a couple years. Keep watching reruns like this one Hope all is well looking forward to new Videos
Sorry been busy, but I put up a new video a few days ago.
Once broke down driving through Chicken as a kid (coming from NH) and very nice folks helping us out 👍🏼
Thats great!
Nice to see Dr. Phil enjoying life like this

Hola,hermoso video,de cuántos hp es el motor,y la bomba es de caudal o de presión y de cuántas pulgadas?,saludos desde Perú
Thanks for watching, Luis ho Macedo!! Get that gold!!
You guys should get your hands the "gold drop" probably the best gold cleanup piece of equipment I've ever seen. Definitely worth you guys checking out.
Fantastic setup you guys got with that dredge. Hats off !
I'll take a look at that!
@@AmericanGoldProspectors out of curiosity where you able to check if out ?
With that many dredges, a shaker table would come in handy for clean up
for sure!
What do you guys do with all the gold that you can't carry?
Throw it back in the river!
Do you know if you can find gold in the brazos river or paluxy river in Texas ?
Sorry, not sure.
Awesome video. What is the 3 level device used for the cleanup of concentrates? I’m not a fan of my blue bowl. Thanks!
It's a gold cube. Thanks for watching!
Do you ever check your tailings? What percentage of gold do you think you are catching/losing.
Better time spent dredging new ground.
Was wondering what the classifier bucket funnel with a plug is called.
I can see the sticker (barely) so it looks like it's made by Pioneer Mining.
But could not find anything like it.
What is the blue attachment on top of the 5 gallon bucket that holds water called?
Its a Blue bowl.
I was assigned to Eielson AFB from 84 to 88. There were advertisements on the radio all time for Hiney winery in Chicken Alask. Obviously a spoof but it was fun to hear the announcer to say "giver a little Hiney".

Wow I LOVE watching this! These men are genuinely good people and that makes it even more fun to watch them succeed!
Thanks for watching, P. M.!! Get that gold!!
@@AmericanGoldProspectors ]
Fantastic piece of equipment. Best I've ever seen. Good luck!
It's a really nice dredge!

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for watching, Wake Up Idiots NOW!! Get that gold!!
Were you getting any color in the last 1/3 of the sluices? I never saw any myself
No, it caught it all up top
@@AmericanGoldProspectors gold is unbelievably heavy
I often wonder why we have sluices so long
Quick thought. Two solo cups, one cut down slightly for the outside, drop the magnet inside the inner cup. Lift the inner cup to release the magnetics from the bottom.
Great idea!
How does this camp work? Do you give a percentage of your haul or pay a rental or membership fee? There is a surprising amount of infrastructure you all seem to share.
I just show up and dive for a percentage.
What does it cost for a dredge rental and cabin at that place? I think I'm going to Alaska for the first time.
Its a camp anyone can go to with reservations. Google Gold Fever Prospecting Alaska. Thanks for watching!
What % does the camp take for the equipment and gas ?
50% for the 10 inch.
What's a dredge like the one in the beginning cost ?
100k Thanks for watching!
Amazing stuff ....I'm in AFRICA..I admire your great work & adventures ...I have a Question and don't know if you can help ...I 'm building a 15 inch gold dredge and wanted to know what size pump i need in HORSE POWER to run the suction nozzle.
Sorry, not sure
How come Vernon isn't running a sluice box like that one on the Wild Ranger?
This was someware else. Thanks for watching!
If I bring up a 10" set up like yours. Where can I work at?
Thanks for watching, Meloveu Longtime!! Get that gold!!
Do you lose some of the gold in the water do u guys repeat the process with the water make sure u guys got everything double check
we loose some for sure! Thanks for watching!
Just curious, but where does one sell the gold you find and does that get taxed? Also does one need a permit to do this?
There are many gold buyers around town in the gold areas. Not taxed. Cash on the spot. No paperwork. Yes you need a permit for a big dredge like the one in the video.

I worked with a 5" this summer and we had matching pinky nails but nowhere near as much gold.
Thanks for watching, cutthroat2273!! Get that gold!!
Incredible efficient dredge ! Hats off to whom ever engineered those gold catchers
Thanks so much!
So this is in one day?what's the average per day
All depends
Link for classification buckets ?
Sorry not sure.
Did you guys build that dredge yourself? I wanna start doing this, any advice on how to start would be appreciated
Start small with a 4 inch dredge
We know we are watching experienced miners.
Very few people have the delicate skills and awareness required to move a matt full of gold concentrates from one vessel to another .
Dang ,did I get excited for you when that first spoonful went in the sluice !
Thanks for watching!
And most People can not afford the Equipment you need. Than the Fuel etc etc. Not to forget you have to buy the Ground.
@@ludwiggraupe7571 Equipment is expensive only if you choose it to be.
And no fuel is needed.
All you need is a pie tin. Cost less then $2.
And there is plenty of ground not owned. Or owner will let you use for half the gold.
You guys have got it made that is one awesome hovercraft. So far, this video has been amazing. I would love to come to Chicken Alaska.
It's a blast!
Wow! Chicken Alaska, huh? That's a good bit of gold when you fill up your clean up sluice riffles so much that gold is going all the way to the end and over the edge!! I think I would have stopped and done a couple of cleanups instead of having that much gold to re-do in your catch bucket. But hey, you guys got a great score!
You got that right!
What is the watercraft called? Thank U
A 10 inch dredge. Thanks for watching!
Very nice job Guy's. I would love to do that some day. Bryan what's up with you working for Vern on his boat.
Yes I work on Verns boat as well. Here on it right now
did you make that dredge or buy it? how much does it cost to operate?
No, we used it and paid a percent of gold. It cost 15 gallons of fuel a day.
@@AmericanGoldProspectors I used to live in French Guiana. They have a gram of gold for every cubic meter (sq yard) of dirt. I've thought about taking something like that and sucking the bottoms off the rivers
Is this a gold camp type of place? Do you pay to dredge and keep your gold? Or is this just a really awesome private claim?
Its a camp anyone can go to with reservations. Google Gold Fever Prospecting Alaska. Thanks for watching!

Go to the gold fields and see for yourself and meet some friends!
Just out of curiosity, I don't make alot of money in life, so I am kind of scared to go up and come home with a half ounce for a 5k vacation.. did you by chance see anyone alone working?? If so are they restricted to working a 4", if you did see any one alone working did you see there gold ?
That's the best recovery system IV ever seen on a dredge the clean up just proved it
Thanks for watching, Alan Liddicoat!! Get that gold!!
How much did you get? And howany days did it take?
About an ounce a day
I recognized this guy right away now I remember him from ice diving in the other show from Vernon and pomrenkies
Oh ya! Thanks for watching!
Just looked this place up. All booked for the 2024 season. Looks super fun
It is!
I sure have been missing your Vids. But dang this one is a year old😇
I see tall bringing it in tho. Your BIG Time now! Happy for ya!!!
Thanks!
What sluice do y’all have, I’ve been looking into gold prospecting and wondered what y’all had
The big box was custom made.
Are you guys available for hire....equipment also...?
No, sorry.
You know my friends I’ve been watching you have that dredge now find the travel route that old timers went crossed the river with a lot of gold and didn’t make it I hope you know what I’m talking about millions my friend don’t forget to share 👍 good luck your the first I’ve seen doing dredge in the river crossing routes
I didn't know about them.
Holy crap...... I thought my 5 inch moved a lot......that would be a blast to run!!
Thanks for watching, mich schep!! Get that gold!!
Why doesnt Vern have a last chance setup for his gold ship, To much depth?
Not enough room on the deck
Thanks for a video!
You catch 95% fine gold from a main sluice which in a middle?
Yes, thats right.
@AmericanGoldProspectors just got my dredge few days ago.Where I can ask questions about proper mat for a fine gold?
Brilliant, well done and what a setup! You boys deserve every ounce.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video thank you so very much for sharing hope you all have a wonderful weekend 👍👍❤️

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!
That's dredge is awesome probably cost over 100k lol... looks great and works great
Great dredge!
How much cash is wrapped up in that sluice rig please?
Not sure. Its not mine.
If I guess right do I get a oz?
Thats $1920, lol
I would love to do this. Maybe the tilt of the last run sluth is to step?
We checked it all. Good angle.
That is so awesome Bryan way to go. Thank you for the video's totally amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good stuff, you need a watering can minus the rose for clean up.
Good call!
Good video. Maybe clean out the very end of the box into a separate/smaller container?
Thanks for the tip!
What is gold like that worth?
Gold is 1700 -1800 an ounce
Really enjoyed watching you run the dredge and recover great gold.🙂
Awesome, thank you!
🤔 How many ounces was it?
It's at the end of the video.
Where did you guys get your sluice box setup from for the dredge ? That's pretty much exactly what I want right there , That whole dredge setup is awesome and Thank You for the Great Video 👍
It was custom
Congrats Gents. Thanks for sharing. Amazing to watch you lads.
Thanks so much!
I was thinking, these 2 guys look familiar?
You 2 guys were dredging for vernon adkison on bearing sea gold.
Are you still dredging in nome for vern?
I'm in Arizona doing some small scale gold mining. Thanks for sharing and great gold cleanup guys!!!
Yes, I'm up in Nome now filming another season of Bering Sea Gold
@@AmericanGoldProspectors Awesome, bearing sea gold is my favorite show! I hope you're ear drum healed back 100%
Get alot of gold!!!
Don't you dredge with vern?o
Yes, I do.
chicken, eh? i've bought several vials of placer gold on ebay purportedly from chicken. Thanks for the vid!
Hope you enjoyed!

Thanks 👍
Sure can see the GOLD FEVER . Awesome must be such a thrill
Its a blast!
Nothing like the color I dredged for over 30 years used a 10 inch at the last also .
Sold it for 60k and it went to sierra Leon.
Awesome!
Who cleans up the mess of taling or is it just left as is
Happy new year Brian. Hope 2022 is even better. I’m in Key Largo for the duration.
Thanks for watching, Hans Hart!! Get that gold!!
Silly question. I used to watch a gold prospecting show years ago that I thought was GPA or GPAA with a guy named Tom Massey. Is this channel affiliated with that show? I will say that the programming, Tom's and yours, is quite similar and equally enjoyable.
No, I do my own thing.
Man Brian your all over if your not in nome where are you now?
New England to dredge here for spring
How many men are in your operation? Doesn’t seem like such a great return to me. After expenses what do you make 50 bucks an hour?
I do it because I like to do it! Thanks for watching!
So what's the Camp Record? o.O Got me curious now :D
Not sure, but we wanted to beat it!
Dude have you panned your tailing from the boiler box sluices?.......
No we haven't, but the owner of the dredge has.
What an awesome vid Bryan! That dredge is a monster! The gold weigh in looked like it was golden bird seed!!
Thanks 👍
I have a 5 inch keene in New Zealand but have a special permit to build a 8 inch as a 6 is what can be used normally. What motor dose the 10 have please and I realy like the idea of the boil boxs and mini sluices at the front. Also glad your ears are good
Its a subaru motor. 160hp. Sorry, thats all I know about it.
You might try looking at what motor the Keene dregges have on them at the factory. Hope you make yours so you can take off endivgual pieces as you might need to pack it into places. I ve been dredging for 38 years , so been there done that. So hope you make yours portable. Honda s get the best gas milage, and dont seem to break down so much.
@@allanclose9684 yes mate that's the plan portable and can come apart as the river is shallow and rocky need to move it around
It looks like a Subaru engine out of either a Impreza or a legacy.
Tip, the more you touch move and handle fine gold you lose some.
Thanks for watching, ReviewTube!! Get that gold!!
truly impressed! gold i s where you find it , and its in chicken!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Brian from Ireland...hows the eardrums ....nice dredge
All healed! Thanks for asking!
whens the next trip
Soon! Thanks for watching!
That’s a great clean-up! What is the gram per tonne ratio in Chicken?
Not sure.
Bryan and Gary are nice guys. I always wish the best for them.
Thanks man!
