Thank you for making these videos! BC is so confusing compared to where I'm from.
Wow! This research tech. is way out of our old school ways.........
It sure is different than when I staked my first claims: physically tag a post and then flag a line for 1KM by compass and then declare how many meters either side that you are taking (usually 500M one side and another tag 500M the other side, giving you a square KM. Research was all on paper.
That is fantastic, you guys have it easy up there in Canada.You and also invite Pauly to your claim, he lives in B.C.,a funny guy to watch.
I really like Pioneer Pauly's videos too. ;-)
Thanks for all the great videos and sharing your knowledge! You've inspired me many times.
Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks for bringing us along for the journey .
It should be fun. Especially, if trying to be the first to win a claim at 10AM. A claim like this will have plenty of competition. But if someone else gets it, good on them. Like busses, there is always another one coming along.
It is Christmas Day. Merry Christmas to you and I want to encourage you to keep the great videos coming. Thank you
I had no idea this sort of thing existed. It's amazing how mapping and satellite data have changed how we see the earth. I'm looking forward to the outcome of your search!
The info is out there for everybody. Funny, once one gets used to it, you want more. For example, the Sat-maps only drill down to a certain size and of course it would be nice to get a view closer. I will have to show how to do that too.
Very interesting. I love your videos and smiling face and can’t wait till you do a video of you actually on this claim in the future. Thanks
That will have to wait for the spring thaw, but I already look forward to exploring again in BC
Hope you receive your blessings for all your hard work thank you for showing
Thanks much!
Hope to follow your journey!
As usual great stuff!
Hopefully, I am providing enough info that others can do it too, without boring the pants off people who just want the adventure. The most fun is the rush to acquire a claim when there is competition and of course when you walk the ground to find the first gold nugget.
This is exciting. A bit like sniping an auction at the last second! Good Luck my friend!
You are correct. It is exactly like an online auction and the skills are interchangeable. ;-)
Good luck man! Hope you get yourself a nice, rich claim.
Unfortunately, the known rich ground is never forfeited. However, there are interesting little spots to own that can make a man happy.
Really interesting video. Thanks for sharing and good luck on the forfeiture
While I was asleep, this claim was renewed. I am happy for the fellow that he didn't lose his claim. I will keep looking for another. It is all part of the game.
Cool, looking forward to the journey ahead 👍👍🏴
It should be fun. Thanks for joining me on this armchair adventure.
Good Luck hope you get yourself a new Claim !!!!
I just checked this morning and this claim was renewed for year while I was asleep. Will have to look for another claim. It is all part of the fun.
@@meMiner well maybe the next one will work out !!!!
I hope so too. ;-)
Wow man, learned alot from the master on this vid... you are a book of knowledge man
Ontario's online mine claims system is very similar. Soon I can corrupt you to become a miner. LOL
That is really involved. Thank goodness you know what you are doing. I am rather intimidated by the process, like most people are. I look forward to watching you make a claim your reality. Good luck with it! 😁
It is a bit intimidating to start, but after playing around a little bit, it is pretty easy.
I hope it all “pans out” for you. 😊
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year- Jim & Gina
Fantastic thank u so much I really hope u get what u want and it sad about these people who buy and sell claims just to make money like that they most likely never go to it but lie saying it has good gold etc again thanks
Some of them are decent, honest people. Well, I know one that is. LOL The others are in business to mine the miners. Gold fever makes for some bad decisions by some folks.
Holy wow dude! This is like hacking and prospecting 😳 seriously so cool! That’s nuts man! I love it! Very interesting to see how all that works. Soooooo interesting! I wonder if we have this in Australia, I’m sure they do for the opal mines out here. They get pretty serious about them, for good reason I’m sure.
Thanks dude nice video
Here is info on claims in Queensland:

Looks somewhat similar,, but the restrictions are different.
meMiner
Woah! Dude thank you man, I really appreciate it! I’m gonna head over and read it properly. Seriously man, that’s super kind of you!
Me miner this Gary, just retired and live in an Rv. Headed to the north west soon. Prospecting is the only thing on my bucket list for life. If you want a helping hand let me know. Will be available late spring? Great info , thanks!
You are living the life my friend. I still work, so only get to play around on weekends and vacation. My schedule for next year is up in the air. Send me an email to meminerrocks@gmail.com and I will stay in touch to see if we can cross paths.
@@meMiner You are right...buying these claims is a business, and I would pay you 500$ if you can get me a claim in Atlin this summer, to take my metal detector...remote does not bother me, if chances for nuggets are good...Thanks, great video, but I would pay you for this work...Let me know, and I will email you...cheers.
@@carlbole2142 I plan on going next year too. I have been there a number of times and still don't know the best places for nuggets. I have one claim that should be decent for panning but don't think it is good for larger gold. Get hold of me in late spring and maybe I will have acquired other spots and could let you try your luck.
@@meMiner With your help, I was willing to try getting a claim, and I see they are all protected from forfeiture until dec 2021...dang...I have subbed, and look forward to great gold in your pan, friend...thanks...
a tip: you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
You should switch between that map and Google earth so you can zoom right into the creek bed. I find it interesting that you have one of the better videos for Canadian Placer titles, I live in b.c. and want to get my own claims, but I have the privilege of being able to go check out claims in my truck first the ones with in 200miles of home at least.
Good luck with getting that claim. Take care.
It didn't forfeit. I will have to keep looking.
Congrats on 20K subscribers. You certainly go to great lengths just to tell your wife that your going fishing. Lol
Thanks CC-Coder! I think my wife likes when I am away and maybe I should wonder why?
There's gold in them their hills.. lol...Sure hope you get what you want, I must admit never knew anything about this process pretty cool!..peace my friend.
It is a way easier process than the old way of physically staking a claim.
Very interesting!
Thanks for joining me on this armchair adventure.
Hi, I have a question about the map #. At the 2:44 mark, you enter "092b" in the Map Number field. Where did you get that number, I don't see it on the map you are working off of?
When you first access the maps, you can see the whole province to find the area/section you are interested.
@meMiner thank you sir!
thanks for the video. but where did you find the Map Number?
You don't have to know the numbers. You can drill down by clicking over the area of the map you are interested.
Hi good day asking to sell my collection mineral rocks and precious stone hope to help me
Good luck! Be careful.....if you get gold fever your video content will change and you'll leave the rock hound in you tied up at home! I can't wait to see how this pans out for you 👍!
The great thing is BC has wonderful rocks to collect. I used to overlook them in my pursuit of gold (dumb).
I'm sure you'll have a great time!
It should be interesting for sure. ;-)
@@meMiner exactly my thoughts!
I would just like to metal detect in BC on a riverbed or on Crown Land. I would be sure to not be on anyones claim etc. Is this illegal?
If there are claims on the crown land, then you are not allowed, unless you have permission from the claim owner. The rules on metal detecting in BC have changed recently and if I read the regs correctly, you are not allowed to detect for placer gold where there isn't a claim. ie. if you want to detect, then you must be on a claim that you own or have permission.
Biggest cliffhanger yet!
How much does filing a claim cost,or the claim itself cost?
$5/hectare for one cell (one of the squares) - you pay for the whole cell whether or not there is an overlapping claim or other restriction. Each cell is about 21 hectares (457m x 463m) in the south of the province converging to about 16 hectares in northern BC (due to the convergence of the longitude lines that as you move north).
What does it mean when its protected? I'm looking at a claim in north island but its coming up as protected.Thanks
I have seen that on the maps too. My understanding is title changes are on hold by the MTO and it can be for any number of reasons. Sometimes, you can guess the issue, such as extension of a park boundary or native land dispute. I have not called the MTO to ask about a particular cell, but they might provide additional info if you know the spot you are interested.
meMiner okay awesome thank you!
Nice Video 👍👍weiter so Kollege echt Klasse macht Laune zuzuschauen 👍🙋♂️Abo und like 👍

So, did you obtain the claim? An early Christmas present for yourself?
It didn't forfeit. He must have submitted his work last minute. The good news is claims are like buses. Another one will come along soon.
Greig, i’m not able to get in touch. No wifi in Aruba. Pls. check
iv been to that wierd space on that 2nd claim, didnt find anything up there but a great view
I am out there soon to find out for myself.
@@meMiner hit me up if youd like a walkin partner, i love goin to that sooke area
@@KanadaVCK I have a trip planned but you will see in my videos (soon) that it is a bit rushed. Keep in touch for next time.
@@meMiner sounds great man, good luck out there
How can I locate exact boundary lines of the claim physically at the site?
Use a GPS to get you close plus associate with known landmarks (roads, bridges, creeks, etc). If down to the foot accuracy is required, you may need a professional survey. What I have done too is talk to my neighbour and agree on the boundary.
@@meMiner
Thank you very much. I will do that
How do you find the map number ?
One way is to get on the MTO site and search by map and zoom down to the area in the province that you are interested. The numbers are marked
That is a super awesome video. Some people aren't worth a damn. Your definitely not one of them. Know let's teacher Daisy how to sniff out gold and, well anything of value yyyeah.
I trained Daisy as a pup to find gold, or more specifically gold sulfides. It worked quite well in a controlled environment. Completely useless where there are birds and bunnies. Good thing they make metal detectors. LOL
I personally don't like online claiming. But I'm from Northern Ontario, with all it's unsurveyed territory. So I understand how it can be useful in totally surveyed territory... Honestly it all reeks of government cash-grab to me though. You still need prospectors to go and actually see what's there, no matter how good the sat image! LOL!!!
I don't care as long as the rules are clear. There also used to be problems with physical staking by compass in BC. Especially with people placing their tags early or being in the wrong spot.
Years ago when I was physically flagging a claim line in central BC, I had a huge grizzly follow me up the mountain, looking at the blazes on the trees. Bears mark trees to declare their spot to other bears. This one was not happy that "somebody" was marking his trees. Nothing bad happened to me, but there was a short standoff while he tried to decide what to do ... and all I had was a half axe.
I suppose so gold fever would I understand business still sucks in someways because might be a guy down and out for money wanting to try and make a living and these others guys have the money if u know what I mean but over all it is a risk but it is a honest living take care and again thanks
Exactly correct. There are people every year who get a bit of gold fever watching the TV shows or reading exciting reports and think they would like to become miners. What they don't know is most miners go broke and mining is hard work. They don't necessarily know the basics (including how to sample effectively) and trust a good story. Their pockets get picked very quickly from acquiring claims, buying equipment and travel. It is unfortunate.
So did you get the claim?
Not that one. I would have been surprised if I was successful on the first try. Kinda like catching a fish on the first cast. ;-)
@@meMiner I do fish and know what you mean.some days are good though and you catch on the first cast👍😉
I live in sooke
I hope to be there this spring. Maybe we will cross paths.
Holy crap there are claims everywhere. This RUINS it for a wannabe recreational panner like me!!
Sometimes, the best spots now are on the edges. With gold going up in value, even the marginal claims are being grabbed.
Sooke is a lousy area. Almost impassable in most spots and completely impassable in others. In most cases you are lucky to even find enough to pay the claim costs. Nobody wants to hear the truth. Damned gold fever lol
I tried jumping thru the necessary hoops to get a key for forest road access, never got into there and gave the claims to a friend.
