    Greg looks really grand in the thumbnail of this video. .. Simply not watching but listening to Greg's conversation in his videos while I work on any project at home is more than enough to calm and help me focus. You had given me so many years of great time through your videos. I wish you a long and healthy life. . .Love you Greg , , ,You have a unique and lovable personality and love all your videos❤ . .
    Greetings and appreciations from INDIA.

    I always enjoy the variety of your videos Greg. I have to admit, I'd be swept into 'gold fever', and panning for gold is on my bucket list. Stay safe. I'm looking forward to your future video with Mr. Hurd.

No cutscenes and loud silliness, just facts presented black and white. You’d be someone I’d be down to show you my trout spots in California. Thank you for making videos

    Hey Greg.
    In 6 hours, i've got a 19-hour flight to help some jungle researchers in Borneo for a few weeks. Needed some stuff to watch on the journey out and back, so I have downloaded 80% of your playlists. A total of 108 videos. That should keep me more than entertained. I will be taking one of your t-shirts out there with me and flying the Greg Ovens flag in Sabah. Great video, as always.
    All the best to you and Finn

    awesome video! I am a new subscriber to your channel and wish I had found it sooner. your videos have tons of life saving tips and first hand survival knowledge. I am a gold prospector in Colorado, I offer some tips for gold panning... 1 use something to stop gold floating away like "jet dry", "dawn soap", one or two drops in the pan stops gold from floating. 2 when the pan is about half full tap the edge of the pan as it is tilted, tapping helps more than shaking back and forth at the end of the panning process. 3 don't pan in the river you will loose a lot of gold due to the fast moving water, dig a small hole 24" wide and 10" deep or more and fill with water. this way you don't miss anything and plus it's better for the fish in the river and the wild life, some of the dirt and rock that you find gold in also have a lot of toxic metals like "lead", "mercury", "cobalt", and so on. I truly love your videos dude! and I hope my tips help someone out there ✌😎

Prospecting videos you are absolutely awesome it is something I want to do soon but I live in Michigan and there's not a lot of places to get gold here and the places that do have any gold it is miniscule LOL but I do spend a lot of time in Washington state so next time I'm there, you have inspired me to do some prospecting out that way. Thank you again for your content. Your videos are awesome

    Wow! I think I would have been jumping around, (metaphorically speaking of course) in excitement. I've never panned for gold or garnets before and it looks like so much fun. Of course, you need patience, but I have plenty of that so one day, maybe I will be in a place where this is possible. Just for fun, of course. 😀 I'm just as happy to see someone else find some too.

  • @jthomson310a
    @jthomson310a 9 місяців тому

    When panning, keep the material under water. That will help to clear the rocks out of your pan. The deeper water will take advantage of the slight buoyancy of the rocks, allowing less force to move them. The deeper water in your pan will increase the water's force on those rocks. Give it a try.
