Alex Smyth meets with gold prospector Doug Winkleman and learns how to pan for gold in the North Saskatchewan River. They also share the experience with new friend Conner, a youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

It is a blast panning the North Saskatchewan for gold! Never know what you will find. ❤

[@Mr_Unlisted]

that's an awesome thing to teach kids

[@fittergrips2010]

panned the NSR started at prospectors point in the early 70s . never ever found a gold nugget . lots of flour gold . Found you need 100 -200 fly specks per pan to get a gram per yard . usually it takes a full day to shovel in place gravel .

I can only hope that Conner is "special".

[@niccolobriones9222]

Is it legal?

[@juno4541]

Yes

[@zulucharlie5244]

Keep your plump fingers out of the gold, the oil from your finger can float the gold flecks.

[@michellebosse3312]

There is.

[@alistairclark6814]

I found a tiny one by 3 hills in the river. Almost a picker!

[@whosaidthat5236]

There’s always a chance of a picker here but nuggets yeah one in a million. Unless you call a picker a nugget.
