Thank you !
Old Timers didn't have the advantage of portable shop vacs. Amazing what they left behind ! You guys are really cleaning up ! Keep up the great work !
Thanks for the comment....Im sure glad they did not have shop vacs ... ha ha
Over 300 buckets in a weekend....wow! Love the work ethic. Enjoy all that shiney boys, and dont let bolderdash hold the gold!
Thank you !
They need a new method.... make 2500 in 10 days split 4 ways after expenses and sleeping in the desert lmao.... not profitable at all.... or smart. For youtube views......it works but to people watching....this is not an effective way to mine lol

Nice work and very good video capturing
Thanks !
I like it, nice work guys.
thank you !
I've always wanted to drywash in Az. Wish u guys would let me pay to accompany you. It's the AZ experience I'm after just as much as the gold itself. GL guys you rock.
Thank you , we appreciate the comments .
I have a question I recently went out with a friend and ran the 151 we noticed a lot of black sand and I was worried about losing gold should we do more clean outs or do you have any other suggestions when there’s that much black sand. I did watch your other video about the pitch and setup of the 151 thanks 🙏. Great video. I’m going to try hanging the 4 lb weight this weekend. I just have never seen that much black sand. Keep up the great content guys
So there is all kinds of black sand types. Lighter, heavier, coarser, finer etc. Black sand is made up of a few different minerals. Some magnetic, some not. It really depends how compact the sands are getting in the tray. if they are getting to tight and gold starts walking right off the top, thats a problem. Try more air to stratify better or just do more frequent cleanouts
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK thanks appreciate the advice
Hey do one of you guys get around South Orange County in California? I swear i saw a truck with "I break for Bedrock" sticker on it, along with some other prospecting related stickers. I was so intrigued by it i went online and started researching prospecting stuff for the very first time. Now six months later I'm totally obsessed, I've found some shiny, learning everything I can, now I can't get enough!
Sorry man, it wasnt me. . .... Best of luck out there !
Woah some nice cleanups... :)
thank you !
Hey guys, do you recall which video(s) you show using the rock hanging on the back of your 151. I've got an older 151 and would like to watch again to get the drift of what you're doing and why.

That amount of black heavies creates ramps. I suppose losses very. Gold looks great though. I drywash and vac too. Some day I’ll make a black sand separator that works mid air. Till then, I have losses as well to rerun. Keep it up guys.
Nice work ! Save some for the rest of us 👍
You guys are so awesome. After you ran that last bucket of cons, did you pan the tailings after that last bucket? Wonder if that last bit of tailings would be worth keeping and running thru a stream sluice later on.
I highly doubt it would be worth the effort. We ran the material twice , and that dry washer does not miss much at all. We have tested the cons several times. That , and its really, really heavy to be carrying a half mile out of the canyon...lol
Right on, makes sense. I have the same drywasher but think I probably run the air a little high on mine which results in fines being lost. I'll slow it down a bit. Can't wait for your next video.
How small of gold can the 151 hold on to?
Extremely fine gold ...no worries
How full are your 5 gallon buckets? My personal best is 10 in about 4 hours, then I'm toasted.
Minimum of 3/4 full
With some help from the excavator I hope ?
The excavator was not at this spot unfortunately
Seriously amazing how you guys get so many buckets moved!!
What part of az im looking to start but dont know anyplaces to go
Where was that at
In a very remote area of the central Arizona desert.
Love your channel! But have one question and Iam not trying to call you out or anything. I have been drywashing for years and I honestly don't get the point of why you vacuum out the tray! It makes no sense to me since the inside of your hose has ribbles inside that can catch the gold, just seems silly and odd when you can just dump it in a bucket or a cement tray. Noticed it on a few videos. Anyway I appreciate your videos and do learn things. Keep up the great work and keep finding that yella!
We do it to get an accurate idea of what we`re getting bucket wise. Also, so the viewers can see what kind of gold is in the tray. The corrugated hose is not much of a concern, we generally shake the hose out while the vacuum is on, and it seems to be fine.
I Brake For Bedrock got it makes sense thank you! Take care
Always like ur videos. Thanks for posting. New to prospecting and this may be a dumb question but what are u doing to turn your 300 drywashed buckets into one concentrated bucket?
Every time you run 20 buckets or so ( condition of materials apply) you pull the tray and dump it into a separate bucket reserved only for concentrates. Repeat the process until drywashing is finished.
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK Got it. I thought u were taking several concentrated buckets and concentrating them again into one bucket through some other process. Anyhow, thanks for the reply and good work!
Ok, watched again and noticed u ran your concentrate bucket again through the drywasher at a slower pace with less air. Just trying to understand why. Is it to get rid of more rocks for less panning later? Do u also pan the tailings out of that bucket of concentrates after u have run it one last time?
@@zcking005 Yes we run all the concentrates one, two, or even three more times saving the tailing`s, and re running them as well. It is to consolidate the concentrates back down to what one tray will hold. If it is super concentrated gold, you definitely want to run the tailing`s again.
In what type of a host rock you found the best gold? And if you know by a chance the exact name of the host rock I would really appreciate giving that info.
THis is placer mining so the gold can be anywhere
you guys run into a lot of poisonous snakes and spiders up in the hills down their ?
Very rarely
WHATS YOUR TOTAL DONT WANT TO SAY?
Its usually in the description
