    I really like the idea of using small lead BBs to fine tune the process. I'm in an area with nothing but some flour gold, so I'll need something like lead BBs to make sure I'm panning correctly.

    This is a superb video. I especially benefited from your tip on keeping the angle of the pan perpendicular to the water in such a way as to keep the gravel an inch from the edge of the pan. Also, watching the inner edge of the gravel, not the outer.

    Nice tip with the four bee bees. The first thing I did with my new pan was to scrub it with a green pot scrubber to take off that glossy shine. It looks as if I been panning for years.

  • @bowhunter_vavirginia6189
    @bowhunter_vavirginia6189 6 років тому +2

    Great video, Gary! I would only add that before using a brand new plastic gold pan, its important to remove all of the residual oil left over from the plastic molding process. I use Dawn detergent, and light scrubbing with 0000 steel wool. I scrub the new pan until all the shiny surface is removed. This is especially important when you are panning fine to flower gold without a safety pan. Thanks for all the great videos, but most importantly, thank you for your service to our great nation. Be well, and stay safe!

    • @TwoToes
      @TwoToes  6 років тому +1

      I agree whole heartily. A plastic pan gets better with age just like a steel pan. As the pan ages it gets a rough texture, that helps greatly to hold the gold from sliding out when cleaning up. Thanks - Gary

    I found your video because my homeschool children were interested in how to pan for gold after their science lesson on density. I grew up in the Black Hills, so I take the knowledge for granted, having been to expos and tourist traps as a child. You are an excellent teacher and craftsman! Thank you for sharing!

  • @DominicUbble
    @DominicUbble 5 років тому +1

    He had patient teachers himself in that 85 and 90 year old so if you take his example when you teach your son or daughter the joys of mining and panning especially you'll create a bond with them and pass on the love of the gold hunt to future generations. Good show Gary!

    I enjoyed the part when you realized that you had some gold , you had a little excitement in you voice . Also you make learning easy , I am going up north past Kirkland Lake , located in Northern Ontario Canada, there has been a recent gold discovery in the area . This will be my first time panning and prospecting for gold specifically , so even if I don't find gold I'm sure to find peace of mind .

    • @TwoToes
      @TwoToes  7 років тому +16

      I love the anticipation and excitement I experience each time I go out. Some times you come home with some nice gold, some times - no gold. The best part is, you never go home with nothing. The excitement of the hunt and the beauty of the outdoors is yours to keep forever! Good luck and thank you - Gary

      Go tour the destruction left in Cali from the 49ers before you book a flight to a pristine forest. Guys like 2 toes are responsible prospectors and take care to leave it as they found it, a swarm of gold rushers leave total waste land. Don't catch the fever. Spark a passion for natural beauty.

      Yup it is Easy! I've made it from full pan to clean in 38 seconds with the only thing you need to remember is that Gold is Stupid heavy in water and will sink right to that v he pointed out. EVERYTHING ELSE is garbage you just need to wash it off. Shaking makes the gold sink. Practice like he said The best thing is it gives you confidance!
