I used to live on the rock quarry just outside Jacksonville around 2 miles before Ruch.I know some good areas and have a friend that caretakes 100 acres that Rush creek fl9ws through.I'll be in Springfield end of this month and maybe we could meet up.Parts of forest creek too.You ever go to Cali.?Lewiston between redding and weaverville is the guy on rush creek.
WOW amazing gold man them pickers are chunky The larger bug I believe to be a cicada nymph or maybe a jerusalem cricket. Yes indeed we do have scorpions in quite a few places around oregon. Finding one next to a stream bank is an odd spot indeed tho. Thanks again for sharing your adventures of gold hinting
I'd like to follow you around and finish cleaning your bedrock crevices with a crevice tool and wire brush...lol! Great gold area...clean it out brother! Heavy pans!!
Looks like the A-gate area. Scorpion was a clue. Turning rocks in that area I find them often. Great to see local content! My wife and I plan to join the prospecting club very soon. She has the fever, which is a bonus for me.
05/03/2021,,02:24 hrs here in NW Ohio. oh yeah, nice looking spot for sure. good .5 gram,,worth going back to!! stay safe, use a flame thrower on spiders! 👍🏼✌🏼😎
Nice gold beautiful area please be careful with the scorpion I got stung here in Alabama when I was hunting back when I was a teenager it’s about 10 times worse than a red wasp sting! Enjoyed the video
Thanks. Man I really appreciate that. Im stoked dude. Thats 10 times better than any paydirt dude. where else can you see where your dirt comes from. Think you got something man.👍😁🍻✌
Awesome gold bro. Went back to check and recover what I could and found my brand new sluice box with dream mats melted to almost nothing, lol. Bummer never touched water. Yupp lost all my pans, classifiers, and scales. I did sift through the ashes and found most of my gold. Full of dirt and ash but gold is gold. Anyways I'm planning on joining soon as I find a place and get settled, hopefully soon. Hotel life getting old. Keep digging and posting videos my friend.
Aw man, very sorry to hear this. Adam I know we talked before but refresh my memory on what happened again ? I talk to lots of people not just on here but for work as well.
Nice bro that's what I'm talking about I find a lot of fine gold here in idaho. But my area doesn't have much chunky stuff. People are finding it here. Just not me yet. U are on it brother. Keep digging
@@WestCoastGoldProspecting no thank you Sir for sharing this sweet vid just recently subscribed & enormously enjoying your content although I'm still green as they get, I have the fever something fierce can't wait to find my 1st nugget lol 😄 happy trails & safe travels brotha man.
And this is how it starts. You on on your way to finding great gold. Don’t hesitate to travel when you can. If you are ever in southern Oregon give me a holler 👊
@@WestCoastGoldProspecting heck yeah that would be awesome every opportunity for knowledge is an opportunity for growth & thank you very much for the invitation I really appreciate it, Can't wait to see what this coming season has in store!!
That's actually about the usual size scorpion I've found all over here in Oregon. Found several that were a little redder than that one around the Quartzville recreation area, but still about that size.
I got bit by a baby scorpion, yeah it hurt, but I was fine...the one you found is an adult... It's huge compared to the one that bit me. I'm in Florida 😱🦂
Nice job way to get out there and get it done to bad we can’t run motors anymore I would say come to grants pass grab one of my dredges and clean that area out
Thanks Dillion, appreciate you watching. And yeah I see people using dredges in here but I won’t take the chance. If I had a quiet one I might do it but my 2 inch screams.
@@WestCoastGoldProspecting I have a few different setups and options in my opinion they can catch me if they can hog it with my 6 and jam depending on the amount of drop you have at your location you could gravity dredge it they work really well have built several over the years in areas I could not get a dredge into or did not feel like trying I use 4 inch pvc connected to 30 foot of suction hose on the other end will use sluice from my 4 inch works well about just as much suction as long as you have about 8 feet of vertical drop from suction nozzle to sluice
By the way im also a contractor from Washington (35 +years) and beem slammed with work too.i have all my stuff to go,going to prospect this spring!good luck brother!
That was a NW Tarantula native spider 🕷 they get fairly big lol 😂. No idea what the other thing was! I am from oregon gonna get some panning in again soon.
What! Dude thats crazy. Lol you definitely out did yourself. My little girl just went nuts when she seen u get it, then say its mine lol. But dang! You killed it man, id set up camp there for the next few weeks. & pound that sluice 😆 🤣
@@WestCoastGoldProspecting but yeah man i know there isn't enough time to get half the stuff done need to do lol. O yeah lol. You pronounce my last name just like your thinking id say. lol its leech like the blood suckers. Lol its just spelled leach think its Scottish. But not to sure on that lol
It's funny. Somtimes they just won't set up .u try and try and get frustrated. Happens to me too. . Then later u might get it set up there. Just re think the whole plan
Nice gold there brother. Are those sqorpions poisonous ? I have been stung 2 times by sand sqorpions, its not very fun. That weird bug looks kinda like a vinegaroon. Nasty little bugs.
Ive seen some bigger ones up the mountain metal detecting here in southern oregon living under a big piece of bark, i just put the bark back over it an let it be
Why don't you all who prospect in southern Oregon ever do a video on graves creek as it is a principle producer in the area. Better than cow creek, wolf creek and coyote creek?
your on the Gold now !!!!!!! keep hitting it good luck
Thanks Jeff, looking forward to meeting you in person here soon.
@@WestCoastGoldProspecting me too !!!!!
@@WestCoastGoldProspecting that bug was a cikada

What's happenin Oregon Gold Hunter? You been back to Brice lately?
Right on buddy!
That's actually about the usual size scorpion I've found all over here in Oregon. Found several that were a little redder than that one around the Quartzville recreation area, but still about that size.
@Desertfox1Ai had no idea! I'm terrified of Scorpions. I was in quartzville two weeks ago. I'm glad I know tho
Well done dude looks like a cracking day out…! 🤙
Just come across your channel, got a new sub here from the UK, LOOKING FORWARD TO YOU ADVENTURES
Appreciate you being here man.
Man what a solid afternoon!
I've seen the brown wood scorpions @ foots creek
The gold miners mantra "it all ads up"
We've come across several scorpions from Evans ck to Applegate. They are really small around here. Nice pickers! Looked like a great day👊
It’s been awhile since I found one. I use to find them all over McKee bridge area. Like dozens per day. Thanks for watching brother.
@@WestCoastGoldProspecting Love your videos and you know I support you 100%
Appreciate you brother.
@@WestCoastGoldProspecting Right back at ya bro!
Hey bro I believe your crazy spider with the pincers is a camel spider
I got bit by a baby scorpion, yeah it hurt, but I was fine...the one you found is an adult...
It's huge compared to the one that bit me. I'm in Florida
😱🦂
Awesome gold man I'd love to get a half Grande.
Sacada! You can find their shell split and attached to trees.
So my mom said that blobby bug thing was an immature mole cricket. Man you were on the gold and the bugs yesterday! Congrats on the picker pile
I believe that was a, Jerusalem Cricket aka Potato Bug
I just looked up cicada nymph and I believe that’s what it was. Creepy little booger.
Great fish bait
Show us the final part of panning when you isolate the gold.
@@ilenekehoe3099 as in the final process ? Is this what you mean sister ?
That’s and nice pile of the shinny! The video was fun as you kept getting more and more excited with your finds. Thanks for sharing. ⚒
Thanks Bob, appreciate you being here.
Awesome

Exactly, 🤣👌. Thanks Dan.

& pound that sluice 😆 🤣
That is awesome, I have little ones to and I know how excited they get. 🤙👊 It was my pleasure man.
@@WestCoastGoldProspecting sweet I'll send ya my address here n a few min I crashed out last night lol
@@WestCoastGoldProspecting but yeah man i know there isn't enough time to get half the stuff done need to do lol.
O yeah lol. You pronounce my last name just like your thinking id say. lol its leech like the blood suckers. Lol its just spelled leach think its Scottish. But not to sure on that lol
Pretty good day. No telling what you'd have gotten if you could've used the sluice.
Exactly. I sure tried but didn’t have the drop I needed.
It's funny. Somtimes they just won't set up .u try and try and get frustrated. Happens to me too. . Then later u might get it set up there. Just re think the whole plan
claims or public land?
Kinda public I guess.
Nice gold there brother. Are those sqorpions poisonous ? I have been stung 2 times by sand sqorpions, its not very fun. That weird bug looks kinda like a vinegaroon. Nasty little bugs.
I think they are similar to a bee sting from what I hear.
It’s a cicada larvae.
Correct, almost ;) it’s a cicada nymph
It's a cicada they come out every 7 years to breed their big bugs they make quite a bit of noise in the summer I'm sure you've heard them
I believe that was a Jerusalem Cricket, aka Potato Bug
I looked it up, it’s a cicada larva. Nasty little booger indeed. And yes, I can’t stand listening to them. Had no choice in Missouri.
Definitely a Jerusalem cricket.
Nasty little boogers.
July is gettin closer, I’m ready for some river therapy. 👍
🤙LBPA4EVA 🤙
Hell yeah it is. Can’t wait man. LBPA4LIFE 👊
Generally where are you where there are scorpions? Wtf! I had no idea they were in southern oregon!
I'm not excited to have now learned this. I thought I left them behind many years ago in AZ.
Ive seen some bigger ones up the mountain metal detecting here in southern oregon living under a big piece of bark, i just put the bark back over it an let it be
@@tscsobc what mountain? Where are these things? How far north do they go?
Why don't you all who prospect in southern Oregon ever do a video on graves creek as it is a principle producer in the area. Better than cow creek, wolf creek and coyote creek?
It’s an hour and a half drive for me. I have been there a few times.
Maybe A Pine Beetle
Yeeeeah 🇺🇲⛏⛏⛏
It's called a potato bug you don't want to put your finger in there cuz it will bite you
Psudo- scorpion
A sacata
Rule #1. If you Find Gold, Don't Keep Looking, Mine It!
Its a locus
Save a stranger, kill the poisonous beasts.
Mole Cricket
Is this on a claim?
Yes
Sacrty, spelling dont count
🤮. Run !
Fools
Uhh what ?
