The years isn’t over. Keep at it buddy.
Hell brother, just be like those cats on Gold Rush and set your goal for 20 ounces 😅
Not that I have any experience, "yet!", But I think it’s cool to see how your cleanups got better and better over this first year….I’m down here in the damn armpit of South ga and there’s not nearly as much to do here as there is up in the mountains….I’m gonna move up there one of these days though. Keep grinding out that gold my man, later.
Just amazing day out fam. What a blast. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream fam. Gold Squad Out!!!
Very nice 🦅🦅🦅🦅
good stuff
Nice video, rookie here. Watching videos to try and learn stuff. Waiting for my Garrett AT Pro to come in the mail along with my prospecting equipment. No hurry for the moment, still winter here in Michigan. Spent some time in Georgia in the 90’s when I was in the Army at FT. Stewart. Nice state. Take care, Ken
Hey what part of Ga do you live in? Im from Ga also.
Liked, shared and commented 🍻
Try to create a V with the top of the sluice where the water is coming in to have a even flow. Thats why it was piling up a tad on the right
Well done man
Youngin, a bit of advice from an old crumudgeon 😉 Get a Garrett super sluice gold pan and leave the sluice boxes at home. All and I mean all, sluices are extremely lossy in fine gold. To run enough water for it to clear, you sweep about 85% of the ultra fine gold out!!! A sluice only captures about 15%!!! A gold pan will capture 100% if you don’t toss it out! The result is that you have to run 6 times more material through a sluice to get the same amount that you get with the pan!!! That’s right, they lied to you!!! Running more material in a sluice will NOT give you more gold!!!! Instead, pan down just to the black sand and stop. Do NOT finish pan because you will throw fine gold out! Take those concentrates home and slow pan those. Your take will quadruple in that same spot!!! Your "Nut" should be 100 pans a day!! Now that is tough and will take you about 8 hours if you fight it like fire. But a 40 hour week of that will produce about an ounce, not tenths of a gram!!! Try just half that. Run 50 pans. That should take you about 5 or 6 hours of very hard work. (ten to 12 pans an hour) After cleanup you will find you need bigger bottles 😉 You will also sell that sluice or give it away and you will never own another one 😉
I put an extra wingnut and bolt in the feeding shoot to stop movement, helps
Thought you can’t use a sluice in Georgia.
Nice, a great day on the creek. Keep up the great videos. Happy hunting
Dam good 👍 job
Looks like you had a good day.
That was so nice to see all that gold thank bud for sharing
That’s a nice area 👌
outstanding ❗👍🏆💯 Dat money dude
👍🏼
Do you own the property sorry i am new to the channel
Im about 45 mins south of there. Maybe we’ll run into each other
Nice spot Good looking Gold 😎👍💯🇺🇲 Could be Silver or Platinum they all run together in certain deposits 🤠
You can do it
Wanted to watch this but the music almost made me stop watching
Awesome!
Over a half gram is awesome! You need to go back there again.
What a beautiful location to spend time going after the gold.
Great job! If you take your Gold Hog mini sluice and are allowed to run the power pig on a battery, you can always have perfect flow – the lithium battery I got for mine only weighs 3 lbs so it’s easy to backpack in.
Small gold, but it sure made up in numbers. 🤘🍻✨️
I’ve got to say nice clean up! Try this, build your dammit higher, so the end of your box is out of the water and don’t let the tailings build up, always keep the end out of the water and clear. It will keep the exchange flowing better with out any build up. And will capture more gold.
Good, nice gold.
