Can you make a video on what is allowed and where? Like what kind of equipment can be used for recreational and where? As well as with a prospecting permit what and where? You probably got ppl out here getting fined after watching your videos not knowing the rules. It would definitely be nice if at least someone from PA could make a video about this. Thanks
Awesome stuff man! I'm in western pa I didn't think we had any gold around here. Thanks a lot brother you just motivated me to get out to the stream and try again!
We’ll definitely not the G I was going for but my outings got much more limited than anticipated. I’ll post my years worth vile at the end of the year. Still got a month of digging before it freezes up.
I'm doing research and gonna try to test pan up in nepa, on the Lackawanna river. There are a bunch of coal mines around the area too. So I wonder if I'll pull anything out. I know a few ppl that found ruby's thou.
Good job getting out there man nice looking color too. I'm wondering why you run your expanded metal backwards I'm wondering if maybe you know something I don't know. Either way good job buddy
A local pa geologist and his dad put out a book years ago on the gold in central pa.with maps and everything. He used to hold a 1 day pa gold event in a park in york. Neat to get together with others. One guy from Bloomsburg would bring about 3 ounces. He had a mini dredge he'd use out in the susquehanna up there. I've found nice chunks in Potter county too.
Not trying to be a Karen! It's a lot of fun but pretty sure it's illegal in Pa to disturb creek bed . Class 1 trout streams fines are stiff check first.
I prospect new England and I usually classify my material. This year instead of using my 1/8 inch bucket-top classifier I made my own similar to an arbor. I used a gamma bucket lid and cut the center out. I then bought a parts strainer basket off Amazon (looks like a minnow trap without the inverted cone bottom) and attached a handle off an old bucket. It classifies to 1/4 inch and I can fill a five gallon bucket in five minutes. I've been running alot more material this year and doing it alot easier.
@@pennsylvaniagoldhunter www.amazon.com/2-Pc-Small-Parts-Washer-Basket/dp/B0009RGSXC If you cut out the center of the gamma lid this will fit perfectly. I classify to 1/4 inch and then run either my 6inch goldrat with the dream mat or my green mountain gold trap. The goldtrap is amazing but requires more flow than the dream mat.
I don’t have a specific pan. I like garret for durability but honestly the pans job is simple so most will be sufficient. I’ve panned sand bare handed. Gold hits the bottom quick, just don’t over fill the pan
@@pennsylvaniagoldhunter cooped up during winter and youtube has told me to pick up a new hobby and see if i can pan any gold in ny… im from up state in the Adirondacks
I was initially invited to participate, then as I worked upstream I introduced myself to a land owner, gave them a gold pan and asked permission. They said yes and asked me to teach them too
I’ll admit this particular creek seems to be a little bit better producer than others I’ve been too. This little streak I’m on is really good, but this creek seems to have pockets like this scattered all through it.
I get where you’re coming from, but unless an extraordinary stroke of luck, there’s not enough to register a weight using shovel and a pan. Perhaps a full scale bucket loader and wash plant would yield a surprising weight. Probably not enough to merit an operation but certainly weighable amount. I often wander why sand and gravel companies don’t try to catch gold as a bi-product
In addition I got about 4 grams all summer. The thought was I’d grind through consistently and eventually get to little more than half an ounce but unfortunately the summer came and went without enough prospecting

Great suggestion! Give me some time I’ll do that
I am in Ellwood city

great work fam. keep up the hunt. nice AU. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
I am in Wayne County and you're making me think. Delaware is half an hour away!

Let us know what you find!

Ever try in central Pa?---I've found a couple of streams in Perry County with the shinny. But at 72 yo I can't go very much
Central PA has some great creeks, including Loyalsock

What are the law s concerning a slice in PA ?
Sluices are legal
I'm pretty sure they are illegal to use from what I have read.

Fantastic idea! Part of hitting my goal, rest souly on being able to move more material faster
I’ve thought of a wire trash can, but haven’t found one at the stores

Great little nuggets
Nice man!! I am in OHIO and I just found your channel
Thank you! I’m putting together a Halloween special now! Should be a fun watch and as always, hopefully some useful information
What brand pans are thos

You need at least 3 grams of gold a day for it to pay off
I promise I’m getting that much using a shovel
3 grams ??? Where u up the creek from me ?? Take me boiii lips sealed FR
Nice take for Pa. North or South?
West. Just south of new castle
If I were a landowner I wouldn't want people coming in and digging up my banks looking for gold.
How do you go about getting permission to do this?
I was initially invited to participate, then as I worked upstream I introduced myself to a land owner, gave them a gold pan and asked permission. They said yes and asked me to teach them too
Not as much???? LOL! That clean up is more than i pull out of Booths Run GPAA area up in Greenville after a solid weekend of digging lol.
Awesome Vid.

Be nice to know the weight. If I'm going to take my time to watch a gold video or really anyone there going to want to know the weight you got
