    I love seeing prospecting from where I live. I just know there is so much unfound gold here in Oregon. Some areas have so much overburden, or are just hard places to get to but all the signs are there that it is out there. Awesome content dude. Keep up the great work. I love hiking deep into our rainforests here.

    That was an awesome adventure! That first pan was surprising. Very interesting marine layer theory. With the Beach conditions and the river being blown out, that was actually a good alternative for the winter months. I hope it is worth it to go back and keep exploring. Maybe you will find a creek like that with even larger or more gold? Neat area.

    Nice haul for 4 buckets run, no classification, so a good run. I am an hour from the coast in Yamhill, Co. I have checked some areas in the coast range up here, not much to speak of except black sand. You are in a good area in the south Oregon coast. That area is the honey hole of Oregon, along with a few other locations in the state. The bonanza basin, and lobster creek drainage into the rogue river, and the whole coast from just south of Coos Bay to Eureka, CA and south, are great areas to find color!

    Beautiful area. You run that sluice like a highbanker. Im afraid to run big rocks through mine. I'm worried it might knock some gold out. But you can definitely run a lot more material easier than what I do which is use a ⅛ inch classifier. So it takes a bit of work to get 1 bucket filled
