It is good to see that a few people can find "gold in dem thar hills" with the price gold now days it is worth the effort to search for it. Thanks for the video & I hope you guys are able to be profitable.
The fall line is how far up the ocean covered the state at various times. You can actually find sharks teeth in Columbia, SC and Columbia is a long way from the coast. Thanks for watching. Hope you find great gold in your pans.
I did an internet search for gold in KY and came up with not much. Could be some near the border of KY and southern Ohio but it would be only small glacial deposits. Give it a try. Gold is not always where it is supposed to be. Good luck. I hope you find some.Thanks for watching!
As always a great video and loved the black pan at the end. This is what I do also find with a gold pan then run for my sluice. Wish I could go out with you guys so cool and fun times cheers Ray
Both Carolina's and Georgia have good gold as does a few places in Virginia. Too bad the whole eastern US is on private or state owned land. If I could only go back in time and know what I do now...! Thanks for watching.
Great stuff. You folks look like your having a blast. I live on the waters of superior with thousands of inland rivers. I would love to do this for fun. Thanks for taking the time to share this.
Just bought me some mountain land near Landrum upstate SC...found a little gold and alot of birdshot last year in my preliminary prospecting...looking forward to continuing this spring...Happy Hunting all ty for the informative video....
You are just a little bit north of the gold, Joshua, but I have found a little in your area. Look in rocky creeks with lots of quartz. Sandy creeks generally don't have much. Good luck. Hope you find some awesome gold.
Great idea on that snuffer bottle. I will give it a try next time on a creek. Sorry to hear about your neck. I hope you recover and can get back to dredging again. Thanks for the idea and for leaving a comment.
Stick with the pan at first. A shovel, pan and 5 gallon bucket are still my primary prospecting tools. Master the panning and if you find gold, then move up to a sluice. If you have little water flow I wouldn't buy the bazooka but would go with a cheaper LeTrap or something like that. Good luck and remember us if you strike it rich!
Great camera work! It's amazing what a steady camera can do for the video, instead of jumping all over the place. AND kudo's on finding the gold... this could easily turn out to be quite interesting... Let's see more!
you guys are living the dream, when I got out, it is mostly an hour or two (because I depend on others for a ride) and I'm lucky to find 6 colors for all my hard work. Keep giving guys like me hope lol
Thanks for watching, Jon. Sometimes we don't find any gold either. Just have to keep trying. If you are finding any gold, keep sampling the creek. There is probably a honey hole or pay streak somewhere. Don't give up! Good luck.
It's often hard to put a price on one piece. It depends on how large it is, how much character or how unique it is. Specimen pieces usually sell for more than the spot price of gold which is over $1400 per troy ounce. Thanks for watching.
Please do. I went out today and checked out a new place. Didn't find much but found some. Doesn't matter. It was a great day exploring. Looking forward to your new videos.
@Kyuto00009 Thank you for commenting, Jeff. We started shooting using multi-cams, as usual, but I got gold fever and left the rest of the shooting up to Tena. Fewer cut aways but she did a great job.
Each landowner is different. It's usually some kind of share or exchange for something else. For instance..I dig in your creek and you fish in my pond. Links are great. Good luck with the magazine.
hey, thanks for the response. i have found a little in the catawba near landsford. usually one or two colors per shovel...all fine, nothing coarse...yet!
@Computert3ch Great! Color is a great find. It doesn't take much goldmto make me happy either. The adventure is as much fun as finding the gold. Good luck with your prospecting.
Found a little gold up your way, Cj but mostly fly poop specks. I am usually looking for rocks when I head to Western NC. Check any creeks you can gain access to. You never can tell when you find a great place to prospect. Sometimes gold is where it isn't supposed or known to be. Wish I could be of more help. Thanks for watching and good luck.
This is great! I've got a small stream near me that is allegedly full of gold. After Irene a couple years back it should be interesting to check this out. I'm worried I wont be doing it right but i'll give it a go.
I'm new to panning. I was just at a creek today in Cherokee County, SC. Only found a few flakes for the couple hours I spent there. I guess I've still got a lot to learn. Anyways, I've been enjoying a lot of your videos and getting some great insight, thanks a lot!
If you found some gold, keep sampling. I remember sampling a creek for about 2 hours and only found a few fly poop specks in each pan. I decided to keep checking and do two more samples before I gave up on that creek. The next pan, I hit it great. Found an area about 8 feet x 8 feet that was rich in gold. Sample bank to bank and sample where you least expect to find it. Good luck, Zach.
This a hobby only. Very few can make a living doing this on a recrational basis. I clean up mold and asbestos for a living. I agree, it would be great to make a living this way. Thanks for watching.
Ha! At the end of each day on the creek we realize we need a young buck doing this. We are getting old and broken. Will keep you in mind buddy! You are in a great area, BTW. Good gold in your county.
@mydog61 Thank you mydog61. We really appreciate great comments. Keeps us motivated to do more. We will post videos of the dredging as soon as we are able to stand that cold mountain water!
I agree. cordelmar. When we first visited that creek several years ago, we could jump across it. Floods have washed the banks and bottom away so much we hardly recognize it. New development, parking lots, shopping centers and redirecting water flow have done more changes to this creek than any amount of occassional recreational gold prospecting ever can. Thanks for your comment.
The green rock in the intro is emeralds in matrix. That was found in Spruce Pine, NC at the Crabtree emerald mine. Lots of great rocks in the Carolina's. Thanks for watching, Jeff.
I don't recall what was in the last pan but panning and sluicing may return about $35-75 per day. Dredging brings in more as you move more material. Recreational prospecting will not make you a living, at least in most places. The gold is very pure in this creek. Over 95% gold and also contains copper and silver. Big flakes and pickers may sell for more that the spot price of pure refined gold. Dust brings about 80-85% spot value, depending on who is buying. Approach it as a hobby.Thanks!
You can pan in most national parks but not usually in any state park. City parks or property varies. You will have to check the local laws. Good luck. I hope you find a great place to play.
Great video bro we had a gpaa show here last week end had a great turn out on sat the 13th had over 500 that came thro the doors been really buzy picking black walnuts I'm close to 6,000 pounds with 2 weeks left to pick
Tom, that area has gold. Some creeks are better than others so if you don't do well in one, try another. Good luck and let us know if you strike it rich!
don't take bull from anyone you guys are great i just started at 65 and if i was 21 i would still learn a lot from you saw all and will order soon from pa. going south in the spring i do fabracition if you need somthing i do part time now
We started dredging Creek 5 a few days ago. Got a late start but found some amazing gold. The new video should be up in a few weeks. Need to shoot a little more video and do the clean up. Hope you will stick with us. We think it will be a great video. Thanks for watching, subscribing and leaving a comment!
Find any rocky creek you can access with permission and give it a try. I often find gold where it shouldn't be and don't find it where it should. Don't know of any in WV but I think WV has fossils. Should be worth checking in to. Thanks for watching.
I would be happy to find a picker or even some gold dust right now. Haven't been in a creek lately due to many other committments. Time to get my priorities straight and find some gold. Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck with your prospecting.
Could be some glacial gold in upstate NY. I would give it a try. It may be fine but any gold is good. The number of colors per pan is important because it gives you an idea if you are getting closer to the source of the gold and which areas are best to set up a dredge in. The more colors, hopefully, the better your take for the day. Each spec of gold is a color. Some are fine, some are chunky and occassionally we find a picker or some wire gold. Good luck with the prospecting. Strike it rich!
You have a good eye, Coon8448. I don't use the small riffles. They work but I do just better rotating the pan to the smooth side when I get down to the gunpowder black sand. I like blue pans or black. Don't like green. I can't see fine gold in a green pan. The Proline pans are great and heavy duty. I use the smaller blue Keene pan too but the bottom breaks out of them all the time. They won't hold a large amount of gravel without breaking. And for finish panning, a small black pan works for me.
Tom, black sand is not always an indicator for gold. I panned a creek once that had so much black sand I could hardly hold it and it had no gold. Black sand makes it really hard for the gold to work its way down to the bottom of the pan. Try it by taking three or four times the amount of time you usually pan. Stratify constantly and see if something is just hidden in there. Good luck and let us know when you find some color.
Just grab a shovel and pan, and start checking rivers and creeks. Be sure to get permission from land owners first. Take a 5 gallon bucket too and throw your black sands in it to pan later at home. Cheap and easy to get started. A shovel and pan are still my main prospecting tools. Good luck.
Thats amazing! Im an oconee native in the upstate and ive been wanting to get into prospecting more. And general areas you would recommend poking around? I'm near Earls Ford and the Chattooga and have private property off HWY 11 I can sluice at. Havent started yet but am planning and want to know where to go to get a good start
York County is a good place to start. Remember nearly all land east of the Mississippi is privately owned. Be sure to get permission before you dig. Good luck!

Now that is some nice gold there bud! Keep up the good work 👍🤠⛏⛏⛏💪
Thank you, Sir. Hope to get back on some gold as soon as it gets cooler. This has been the most miserable summer I can remember.
The fall line is how far up the ocean covered the state at various times. You can actually find sharks teeth in Columbia, SC and Columbia is a long way from the coast. Thanks for watching. Hope you find great gold in your pans.
I loves these treasure hunting videos you make. A lot of information fortified stuff. thanks for being on youtube.
thanks i found a huge chunk of it. your videos got me paning and found a little gold..cant wait till summer.
Thanks for the nudge in the right direction. You have a good day.
I thoroughly enjoyed this videos. Thank you for sharing .

Your videos are great! Can't stop watching them, one after another...it's like a telethon.
Thanks for the great comment! Makes me motivated to do more. I wish you good luck with your gold and treasure hunting.
Very nice video! nice color, Thanks for sharing
Thats why they call it treasure hunting and not treasure giving. I totally respect that. ;-) have fun and thanks for the tips..
enjoy your vids everytime guys. top job
great video can't wait to see you dredge it and get the gold keep these great video's coming
Great quality video guys
Awesome video! Cleanest video I've ever seen. Good work!
Nice gold! I didn't think the east coast had that good of gold. I have some friends moving to South Carolina. Maybe I'll following them over!
Good gold but all on private property, unfortunately. Hit your SC friends up and tell them to buy land with rocky creeks!
Keep em coming. Enjoyed it much, Thanks!
Both Carolina's and Georgia have good gold as does a few places in Virginia. Too bad the whole eastern US is on private or state owned land. If I could only go back in time and know what I do now...! Thanks for watching.
You guys rock. That was pretty cool.
Great stuff. You folks look like your having a blast. I live on the waters of superior with thousands of inland rivers. I would love to do this for fun. Thanks for taking the time to share this.
Thank you for watching. It's always great to be outdoors doing anything. Do you ever find any of those Superior agates?
Just bought me some mountain land near Landrum upstate SC...found a little gold and alot of birdshot last year in my preliminary prospecting...looking forward to continuing this spring...Happy Hunting all ty for the informative video....

Checked out your video buddy. Looks like you are off to a good start. Thanks for watching and good luck with your prospecting.
We have tried this in central and eastern NC on a few Kayaking trips, with no luck. Great Video!
Try Western North Carolina. The gold is there. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching Ray. Looking forward to watching your gold prospecting adventures this summer. Good luck getting the color!
Great idea on that snuffer bottle. I will give it a try next time on a creek. Sorry to hear about your neck. I hope you recover and can get back to dredging again. Thanks for the idea and for leaving a comment.

I just built a sluice box, 36 by 17 inches. I'll head back to the spot sometime soon and see if I can get more gold ;)
@@thatgymnastguy3721 Go for it. I have a home made sluice. It's a double drop sluice and works great. Hope you find the gold!
This is so cool!
haha i love u actually scripted a walk-in intro with the 3 of you guys!
very interesting video!
You guys look like you are having a lot of fun here
Yes, Sir, and we found a lot of gold in this creek. Thanks for stopping in, Erik.
Thanks guys for the education.
looks like good times !!
Had many great times on that creek. Thanks for watching and good luck getting some gold.

Thanks. We appreciate you watching. Good luck with your prospecting.
Thanks. We are headed back to that creek soon. It may be fine but there seems to be a lot of it. We appreciate you watching.
i live in the uk.and go to wales a lot ill be checkin out the streams down there.looks good fun and paid in the bargain lol well done
Ha! At the end of each day on the creek we realize we need a young buck doing this. We are getting old and broken. Will keep you in mind buddy! You are in a great area, BTW. Good gold in your county.

Great video I am not to far from you I live in Concord NC I have found some color like that around Midland about 10 minutes from the Reeds Gold Mine.

@gr8northernpike Thanks for the comment gr8northernpike. We can't wait to see what is upstream. We will keep you posted.
Just grab a shovel and pan, and start checking rivers and creeks. Be sure to get permission from land owners first. Take a 5 gallon bucket too and throw your black sands in it to pan later at home. Cheap and easy to get started. A shovel and pan are still my main prospecting tools. Good luck.

York County is a good place to start. Remember nearly all land east of the Mississippi is privately owned. Be sure to get permission before you dig. Good luck!
