    That area looks awsome. Looks a lot like idaho. Those rocks roll right off that mat. Awsome stuff. Glad the snow is gone and u can get out and prospect again. Got the sluice in the mail. Thanks brother. Those are some nice size pieces of gold u are finding. Enjoy it while it’s nice. Pretty soon it will be a hundred degrees out lol. Thanks for sharing brother

    So you said no digging in the creek. Can anyone even use a suction dredge in Montana?

    Nice clean up Alan.

    Hi Alan, great video and the gold was nice. Looking forward to more videos on this claim. Sluice box worked very well.

    Good to see you alan! I’m going to review your old video on how to make a homemade high banker this year, thank you for that

  10. @thingsofdoing4507 on January 24, 2024 at 9:44 am

    Looking at how you have to load the sluice if you took a metal garbage can lid cut slot for intake of water an line up cut for matirel, you could shovel onto lid an walk back

  14. @arrowheadlee on January 24, 2024 at 9:46 am

    Hey bud, you doing alright haven’t seen anything from you in a month?

  15. @adamlong54 on January 24, 2024 at 9:48 am

    Years ago I was up in the hills off hungry horse dam stopped on a creek that fed into the lake at a culvert few miles up parked went to work went back up to the jeep looked across the road on a tree sign said you have entered grizzly bear country keep alert of your surroundings. Went back to the stream went to work all the time couldn’t hear anything but the stream. After about 45 minutes of working not a spec in the pan my Native American kicked in the hair on the back of my neck and whole body stood up I got the Willie’s and packed up and to say on my last trip back up to the jeep I heard a bear. Lol even tho I was packing I’m glad I left . When it’s just you alone it’s hard to keep alert and work when your on a stream making so much noise that’s all you hear. People don’t realize Montana is still the old West and still wild only thing close is Alaska. Been hunting and had deer come closer and be curious of what you are they had never seen a man probably before in their life. Peaceful quiet country but sometimes people forget we are food on the food chain as well.

    Way to go Alan. The claim looks really good. A true prospector, out the first day of the season. Thanks for sharing this adventure. Nice color in that second spot.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

  17. @Ful-OGold on January 24, 2024 at 9:50 am

    What is your goal for this season

  18. @jeffersonstategold8349 on January 24, 2024 at 9:50 am

    That matt of yours looks like it runs well! I am in black bear and cougar country and it’s important especially in the spring to be super aware and have some kind of protection. My wife and I had a black bear episode a couple years ago. Thing was grumpy and hungry, after that we bought a trailer for the first time🤣 Love your ingenuity Alan!

  19. @shanhaieli5390 on January 24, 2024 at 9:50 am

    Hi Alan 😊. I’m from Kazakhstan 👋

  20. @48thstateprospecting on January 24, 2024 at 9:51 am

    Love my hobby miner sluice box was on a job the other day and the roofers were putting a rubberized roofing material on a flat roof building it’s slightly texturized for footing grip when it’s wet but not very thick so I was thinking of adding it to the flare for an indicator Mat it should hold the gold long enough so that I can see it and I love seeing those go into a sus saves me time from having to test or clean it out to see if I’m on the gold congrats on getting back out can’t wait to see more thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻

  21. @ferdburphel2076 on January 24, 2024 at 9:52 am

  25. @paularguin5685 on January 24, 2024 at 9:55 am

    Awesome video! What are the rules and regulations in Montana for running a Highbanker near a creek or river?

  26. @ronheflin7848 on January 24, 2024 at 9:58 am

    Man that is great. Would love to come up there my battery powered trommel and run some of that dirt. My 22 year old grandsons love going out and do the digging for me. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming

  27. @lylekonkol7740 on January 24, 2024 at 9:58 am

    Nice job. Question, where did you get your sluice? I have looked and have come up short

  28. @gregorbrooks3840 on January 24, 2024 at 9:59 am

    Looking great. Keep it up!

  29. @markcampbell262 on January 24, 2024 at 10:02 am

  31. @guy5274 on January 24, 2024 at 10:02 am

    Hey Alan, I live in Gold creek. If you take folks out to dig and pan, my wife and I would love to.

  32. @johnsaucerhunter on January 24, 2024 at 10:03 am

    Congrats Alan on your first official day out prospecting. And found some color to boot.

  33. @All4Gold on January 24, 2024 at 10:06 am

  34. @nomana60 on January 24, 2024 at 10:07 am

    you’ve been busy designing! welcome to springtime:)

  35. @jessikamat1 on January 24, 2024 at 10:08 am

    Hi Alan, my son lives near Hamilton and was wondering if you had any suggestions as to where on the Bitterroot that we could take ourselves (when I come to visit from the California Peoples Republic) and the grandsons to find some color. Thank you sir and be well.

  36. @OttOOverland on January 24, 2024 at 10:08 am

    Omg that’s amazing. Me and my wife and 2 kids are spending the hole summer in Montana where should we start, any suggestions

  37. @ronludwig9383 on January 24, 2024 at 10:11 am

    G’day Alan. Always enjoy seeing what you’re making & trying out. Just thinking how many colors you’d get out out of that hole if you were using a 10" or 12" sluice and your back would love you for it!
    cheers

  38. @nicholassteichen4552 on January 24, 2024 at 10:11 am

    It’s exciting to see you up in the hills! Happy panning. I’m excited for the end of April!

  39. @JudoGuyinMT on January 24, 2024 at 10:14 am

    Looking good!! Man I wish I’d drove up to dig with you guys instead of beating myself up hauling firewood! See you in a couple weeks to setup the water!!

  40. @FlourgoldWizards on January 24, 2024 at 10:14 am

    Im glad you finally got out !!!! Nice day too , great start Alan

  41. @reidogarimpo1691 on January 24, 2024 at 10:15 am

    Very good Alan, very good

  42. @KODArunner on January 24, 2024 at 10:16 am

    Nice haul for your first day of the season! I guess it’s time for you to receive some gas $$$ for your efforts! Another deposit will be going out in the mail on Saturday! AW, besides the bears, maybe the snakes are waking up too?

  43. @bobcansee on January 24, 2024 at 10:18 am

    What a great way to start the season! Nice job Alan!!
