Caballo Mountains – Gold Mining with Mike Pung – Hiking New Mexico
This video describes the hike we took on 3-8-2017 in the Caballo Mountains of southern New Mexico where we ran across several guys mining for gold. We stopped to check things out and saw Mike Pung who is the inventor of the Gold Cube and the Banjo Pan amongst other things. We learned a lot in a short amount of time about finding gold.
The guy in the blue shirt alex.
He is a claim jumper with his lying ass.Mike told him about a spot in Denver which had next to nothing in gold and on the video he was making out there he tried telling the camera that we already found 13grams when we didn’t even have one 13th of a hundreth of a gram.
If you ever see him in the mountains dont show him what you are getting cuz even on your own claim the next time you go to your spot it will be cleaned out.the only thing he will leave you is his trash and beer bottles in the holes that he never covers up.REAL TALK!!!
Maybe the map at the Superstition Mountains museum in Arizona, is actually a map of old Spanish and Mexican mines there in New Mexico.
i think its hidden n4 foxes maji msand work lovers
Hey guys, I was just going through some lists and found one I had not seen, I have never seen this kind of mining before. how creative.
Whay stop?????
What is it???
Planning on going up here eventually those views are gold! heh Thanks for sharing.
How did they get those trucks further up the trail you could not?
You Have to go deep
The tanker trailer is for cattle, not mining. I know the area well and there are a number of cattle leases.
Can I pan anywhere in the Caballos mountain area without calling for permissions? I’ve never panned before and want to try it out, but I don’t want to get arrested for trespassing or similar.
Great video! I am totally impressed with the Banjo pan. Thank you for sharing your experience.
PRETTY and Desolate" Perfect!
I believe it, there’s more gold in the oceans and river banks SOMWHERE in those country
thats ok u needtoo not take any depth messurements really u missed some there next spott way better 3 trys adjust happy
I’m not an expert on this area but I know there are some claims that we saw staked out and posted as to keep people from looking for gold there. So the answer to your question is no. There are however many large areas that are open for searching for gold. Most of what we saw were guys running drywashers and having some success. You should be able to get more information locally, maybe start at the state park office.
hello there… nice video… i would like to do some gold panning.. may i please know how to contact these guys??
BROTHER, IS THERE A WAY I CAN SEND YOU A PIC OF SOMETHING I FOUND ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY ,IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE,NEW MEXICO WHILE I STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO TAKE AN EMERGENCY LEAK …. I HAD GIVING IT TO MY DAD, BUT GOT IT BACK IN A BOX , HE HAD IT THERE ALL THIS YEARS, HAD COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT IT ….
Hey Tom and Julie! Just came across your video! It’s great you two made it out to New Mexico. I’ve been up in the Caballos in the past. There’s a lot of gold placer claims on the alluvium, but there are a couple of hard rock mines I’ve had my eye on for a while. I plan on getting up there in the next couple of weeks, as I will be off from work and college. Have you heard of the Palomas Gap trail? It is an old toll road that passes through Palomas Gap that is wide enough for a Jeep to traverse it, and there are some large mines in that area. Maybe in the future, you two might consider revisiting the area. If you do, give me a shout! Frank has said nothing but great things about you!
