Adventuring into the stunning Scottish highlands in search of gold, finding a few flakes of gold making it a new personal best for myself. #goldfever #goldprospecting #naturestreasure #scotland
Cheers man, thanks for helping with the algorithm and it’s good to know it’s getting out there in the recommended videos. It’s a new found hobby of mines, lots of trial and error finding these places, but always a lovely day out in the highlands of Scotland.
The flow looked smoother where your feet were to the left and the sluice would have been more in line with the direction of flow too, I would have tried to put some rocks in that area to form a dam for your sluice to rest between but that's a beast of a sluice so will probably eat through the dirt with a fair old amount of water going through it and maybe you could afford to classify with a larger mesh 15mm or so. Nevertheless you look like you have a great spot to get to know over sever trips 👍👍
Thanks Daz, I’ve still a lot to learn about creating good dams and preparing the set up for the sluice, I think I was just to keen to process pay dirt than actually spend the time to set up properly. Like I said in the video I think the sluice I have is great, but totally impractical. Especially for carrying into a spot along with all my other gear! But there’s no motivator quite like getting gold.
Thanks man, I didn’t try damming the water. I did try to control the water flow with large boulders, however it’s an art in itself trying to set a sluice up properly.
I've just bought myself a dream mat adventure sluice, not been out with it yet so it was good to see your mates in use. Great video, looking forward to more 👍🏼
Thanks Wendy, I don’t think I set mines up up the best tbh. However was still catching gold. Also if I was to buy another one, I’m going for a slightly smaller sluice as the one I have is maybe just a bit too big to be carrying on longer walks in.
@@NuggetNinjaAdventures I think your sluice is great. I went for the smaller one for cost, convenience and gain confidence. There's a few videos out there with great tips on setting them up.
@@wendypritch I’ve actually just ordered a smaller adventure sluice, as I also carry my sniping gear and some locations I venture to can be a long walk in so trying to cut the weight down. I do like the big sluice for processing more material. However I think on this particular part of the river it wasn’t the best position for the sluice of that size. It’s all experience and learning from my mistakes. I’m still a rookie prospector, however looking back at my first video I’m seeing progress on how much I’ve learnt. Hope you’re as lucky as I was with the Dream Mat.
Great vid where your sluce box is the water is moving way to fast find a spot a lil calmer the water coming in should look like a V at the top play around with you will get it happy hunting pal
Hello mate, try not to allow water flow entering the sluice box from the sides at the bottom, it literally cleans out the cells all materials will be lost this way. Enjoying your channel especially the sniping method, keep the videos coming🙏🪙⭐🌄🌳🌲🪵
Thanks for your support! The sniping method is my favourite way of prospecting too. Although my short experience in prospecting I’ve found more gold processing through panning and sluicing. Hopefully my sniping skills are required again in the near future. There’s something special about seeing the gold underwater before suffering it up.
Hey, I like the video. I’m seeing many subscribers in your future! This is just hit my recommended this morning. Good luck with the UA-cam algorithm!

Nice video great area 😊
Thank for your support, it’s a beautiful location. Finding gold was just a bonus.
Yaay🎉 awesome!
Thanks Paige, it was a great day out 🙌
G'Day Buddy, Lovely spot you're working, I've subscribed. Keep up the good work 👍👍 Cheers Kev
Hi Big Kev, thanks for your support and comment, really appreciate that buddy. 🙌

Great Video. I'm looking forward to finding my first piece of gold one day.
Even though it’s a tiny piece you never forgot the feeling of seeing gold that you found in the pan for the first time. Best of luck 🤞
Good stuff buddy
Thanks man 🙌
You got my sub ! Cheers from bc Canada 🇨🇦 ⛏️🏔️
Amazing, thanks for your support! Do you prospect in Canada?
Dam the river above to slow the flow a bit.

Few rocks under either side, at bottom. looking for a V flow in water at top of sluice
Thank you, do you think the sluices angle was to steep?
@@NuggetNinjaAdventures i dont think so but bottom was way to deep in the water
@@Glass596 thank you, taken note for next time 🙏
@@NuggetNinjaAdventuresyou are very welcome

Thanks man, it’s just experience. I’ve still a lot to learn.
Any good taisting trout in there. The ancestors made fine jewelry out of that gold
I did see some small fish, but I don’t fish 😅
Nice one, some good pieces in there
I was surprised too! I’m still to earn my name finding a nugget, but small flakes will do for now.
