Interesting place

Use to high bank the NSR back in the 80's out by Frenchmans Butte. There's gold to be had.

After he mined for 20 years on the Sask. river he had enough to buy a potato

Chinese just really like walls

When I was a teenage kid in Edmonton, my buddies father Mr. Parks always said that through the depression years they did ok , as he would head down to the the river by Goldbar park, named appropriately, and pan gold as his hobby latter in life, then as work and food was scarce during the depression years he honed his panning skills just to feed his family. Many years we would help him take his sowed together welcome mats out to the Egg lake sand and gravel pit where he would place the mats under the screened gravel. Once a week the mats were collected and cleaned of flower gold in the basement. Sometimes the floor drain got plugged, and when we vacuumed out the black sand and residue he would use mercury to collect the gold dust. The mercury wasn’t a good idea then but it worked. I remember passing by 20 or 30 one ounce glass jars sitting in the boot and shoe cupboard at the top of the basement stairs. Mr. Parks would sell the gold to dealers who flew in once a year and pay cash…in those days gold was just $34 dollars an ounce. It was his hobby when he retired, and it kept him in spending money. The one thing that impressed me the most is that when times get really bad , the North Saskatchewan River is there to feed you and your family with a little bit of work involved.

Great video awesome stuff thanks for sharing heavy pans

I was out at Devon beach under the bridge last summer and people were panning for flour gold right on the river. So cool

You are making amazing video content. I just watched the video and your video quality is appreciable. I am so impressed by your content, I was analyzing your channel and noticed that You are struggling with video views and video ranking. May I share some tips on how you can achieve your goals?

Looks like fun. Using buckets to move the dirt might save you time and effort. Cheers

Nice work, buddy!

Save some gold for the rest of us!

Hello, I just started up this prospecting,for flour gold in NSR Roughly 5 month's at it , things are getting some what better with a high banker,had to wait for the mineral license,to come in the mail. I'm set for the spring, I'll be out thier again.... hopefully find a spot in the NSR...I'm just cleaning my 5 gallon pail's ATM... separating the gold from dark dirt...made a Miller table... should work out.. Keep up the good work...😊

Great vid bud ,looking forward to seeing more See ya on the river in 2025😎

Great things happening, looking foward to seeing the new unit@

I'm chasing a Sam Livingston claim on the south Saskatchewan. Just need a boat. Thanx for sharing! Cheers, Prairie 🤠

All that is left is to hop in your canoe and drift down to the ritzy glitz and glamour of Jasper avenue for 25cent oysters and eggs at the MacDonald Hotel. 👍👍🤟🤙

Excellent video Andy...well edited and balanced. Anyone who has made videos can appreciate how one collects hours of video and trims them down into a reasonable video length. This coming year, I too am going to classify my concentrates with my final VDR 3" clean-up sluice down at the river (I run them twice). That way, I just remove the magnetics and back-pan at home. These cleaned concentrates will then be re-run again at a later time. Hope to run into you in the field one of these days.

Nice set up..great mix of prospecting and scenery in your videos..keep it up and thanks..😎

Great day out there fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

Im a born and raised Albertan. I didn't know there was gold in Edmonton. Very interesting and informative.

Love your videos showing off the scenery in etown's river valley. Happy prospecting and I'm looking forward to your videos when the snow melts again.

It would be great if you did a one day workshop by the river, I would sign up for it!

Great video! Keep them coming

Infinties vdr clean up sluice is awesome

Where did you get the mop (matt) you used at 2:36?

Hello,again🤗 I hope you... can tell me where this location is at ? In the NSR... I just started up ,got my mineral license,I have high banker... I usually go Devon Alberta and genesis... But small return's....on flour gold... But ya be appreciated 👍

Hello Can you give some advice or the trail you toke,im just starting out on this mining hobby,very interesting,i was very close to where you were,but i might toke the wrong creek... Keep up the good work and make more video's

Hello 👍 Can you help me out,where you went ,I tried going where you went but I might of toke the first Creek...not sure how far you got to follow the trail To. But I think I was very close, judging from your KZbin video I'm just starting out,been to other places,like Devon and genessee. Didn't turn out at all, So, any information or picture's of map's that you toke,to get where were you went

Thanks for the video. I try to frequent mission creek. Have found a few ok spots that would do you much better than that hole someone else started. I have found all of what you showed in 1 pan there. I am always looking to go panning with people. Have only been doing it 2 years so am pretty green but really enjoying it.

You are one of the modern day legends my man! I respect you put down the camera to go mine and do what you love.

That’s a good spot 🤫

Thanks for taking the time to make another great video😎😎

Wow a video on going for a walk!

So fun to watch. Thank you.

Your accent sounds like an American trying to do a Canadian accent. I'm from edmonton and now I'm worried I sound like this too.

Wow

I wanna go do that

Soooooo cool

What is that blue thing?

Looking good indeed fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

Good luck with your claim..😎

Is that a real Spanish helmet? It looks like its English. I'm very curious, did you actually find that?

They had several gold dredges in history running on the North Sask. Using that level of larger scale operation made it feasible financially. Their dredges were destroyed by flooding though.

Clean up well there is a chemical settling pond upstream from you.

Are you allowed sluice boxes in the north North Sask valley?
