American Gold Prospectors Paydirt - Nome, Alaska

[@Klesh]

Do you prefer the long format (this video), or the short 10-15 minute (more edited) versions better?

[@IlyaScorched]

Long :D

[@heavymeadowdetective192]

10-15 minutes, but I'll watch this one since it's Bryan's paydirt.

[@f4ttie]

I personally prefer the 10-15 minute videos. I usually watch them during breaks from working. A 10-15 minute video is a much more justifiable break than a 45-60 minute video.

[@jc_salty]

I like long. (Watching this as I type lol)

[@sisyphus8870]

One of each please, quick hit for when I'm in a rush then the full beans for when I have time.

[@taterhead248]

Aloha Shane. I'm retired. And proud of it. I learned from you and others to use patience. So, I do. Surviving on the Island here taught me to go easy. So, I do. I have more time than money. And, I ain't in no rush. I've gotten maybe 5 paydirt bags from dealers you've tested and show good 👍 ROI. Mahalo for the heads up on the good dealers. You showed me to deal with the better, more generous ones. I am the customer they need. I am the customer that has more lava than Gold in his/her State. I am an apartment Gold Panner. And proud of it. Thanks for the realization that we all can pan Gold at all income levels. So, I do. I enjoy the stories you tell here and there. Good filler for the long version you do. Laters.

[@OhLookItsDavid]

I prefer long. These videos are my therapy. Thanks Klesh.

[@GeorgiaDogScrapper]

Hey Shane, I can honestly say that I enjoyed the longer video. I actually got to see some of the process that I was missing on the faster videos. I know that some people want you to just jump to the end but for me I love the longer video. Happy hunting and congrats on the home.

[@chrisnelson6686]

I agree, the long format allows us to see the nuances of panning. If we want to see it faster we can just skip along. Thanks!

[@cajunchild5727]

I’m glad you did an extended version. For those of us who have never done it before (live in Louisiana), it is helpful to see exactly how long it takes to separate and pan each classification. It’s also helpful to see how hard you pan into the water and swing the material back. Now, with that being said, I wouldn’t want to see EVERY video made like this. But it was nice to see a difficult one. Maybe do one with an easier paydirt and a medium one? I lived in Alaska for about 5 years and never went gold panning…wish I would have, but I was too busy fishing lolol

[@383angster5]

Definitely appreciate the longer video. Great stress relief

[@BIueCat]

Since you asked, I like to hear you talk while panning. You have a calming voice.

[@carlmclelland7624]

definitely DEFINITELY prefer the long format. This format is far more interesting, and your comments, which would have been cut out in a shorter format were quite informative. There's a time when the short format - a 'quick-n-dirty' panning where the short format would be fine, and one like this... every step of the entire process was worth watching!

[@23and2]

You’re the Bob Ross of gold panning. Love the long format!

[@FluffyMugiLand]

exactly this so relaxing and calming

[@philcourteney4328]

Best Description Ever!

[@raidinmd]

I enjoyed the longer format, gave me a deeper understanding of the process for when I try my hand at gold panning some day, thanks for the awesome content!!

[@Azaarus]

It is probably just as much of a stress reliever to watch your videos as it is to pan the gold! I like the longer episodes.

[@jethrogritty3284]

👍👍👍...cathartic, even if just watching...

[@ryanadams7831]

Klesh the longer the better I like watching your shows

[@digidestined1920]

The longer videos feel much more personal and grounded to your original content that we fell in love with

[@g7eit]

There’s something so relaxing and intriguing about watching these videos. Maybe it’s the music but it’s very addictive. This dude really knows his stuff. It’s so funny when he just throws the bag in the pan.

[@rancidphnk]

I always prefer the longer format things, I tend to watch your vids while i'm at work on another monitor so I enjoy them

[@besteverclips7593]

I have to thank you!! It has been years since I’ve been out gold panning. I started watching your videos and they reminded me of what I am missing. I showed my teen age son your videos and he really wants to go out panning too. In the spring, we are going to start gold panning on weekends together. This will be a great bonding hobby for us!! Thanks again, Dale W.

[@Klesh]

That is awesome!

[@chriskeasey4880]

I like you explaining the process and thinking of the paydirt as you are working it.

[@goldmonkeyprospecting5789]

I love the longer unedited videos. They teach me a lot and working a 12 hr shift it entertains me for a longer period of time. Great work

[@benatchison6600]

So relieving watching all your vids, love you talking thruout, shows your personal view points! Filming most awesome, more , please!! Yes seen your guitar repair vids too! I'm old... Longer the better that's why we watch them, we want it that way, long long long

[@digvijayredekar1637]

Love you man following you from last 5 years i really enjoy your videos...🥰 Please dont stop making videos really really love them looking forward to meet you one day!!

[@Paul_Gale]

I prefer the long version imo, especially for the difficult paydirt panning for those who don't can always watch at 2x speed , looks like I'm a 42%er, thanks for the entertainment Shane 👍 !

[@Patrick-vc6zk]

I definitely like the longer videos! I get to see more of the process, and as a beginner, that's key. I also appreciate your commentary throughout. Good luck on the home purchase!

[@peildamoheath9644]

Gratz on getting your new house man! Enjoy watching your content and can’t wait for more. Dig deep and heavy pans brother 👍

[@rickystairs]

Definitely enjoy the longer video man. It’s nice to kind of get the “behind the scenes” feeling compared to your other videos. Great video Shane!

[@silverbanky9596]

Like the longer format. Appreciate your commentary and discussion while panning.

[@budweisser777]

I love the longer format and the talking, I also LOVE the calming guitar you have in the background. It’s honestly something I can’t get enough of

[@davidkelly1298]

I like the longer format although I would watch either format. I like hearing you explain what is in the pan as you find gold.

[@royrauch9775]

The longer your videos, the better...2 hours isn't enough! Keep them coming!

[@douglineen8288]

I like the long videos showing everything and the comments as well. As a novice/beginner everything you say is important and you may not know you said something that helped me especially if you've been doing it for a long time and take the simple things for granted. Thank you for asking.

[@mtgrave5590]

One of your best ! The long format with your comments helps to understand the process much better. Thank you.

[@born2unbox611]

Another awesome pay dirt review thanks Shane I needed that, as far as length do you man we will watch

[@salishseaquest7952]

Appreciate the longer videos as it shows the real effort that goes into panning. Very relaxing and educational as well as entertaining.

[@mysryael]

Thank you for taking me through out the entire process. I like the longer, more relaxed coffee chat format.

[@chriscarley9951]

Hey Shane, okay here we go.. enjoy the long videos along with the one with the shorter videos, congratulations on the house, the narration is perfect as yoy explain to everyone some the tricks that you would normally be missed on some of the shorter videos and for those less experienced it helps exponentially. Thank you for helping me get through another hour-and-a-half of quarantine.👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇲

[@Klesh]

Thanks 👍

[@majorronaldmandell7835]

Definitely do NOT stop talking! You hav a great voice, and I like being kept up to date as you work!

[@Coffey0420]

Thank you for all of your videos. I especially enjoyed this longer video. Definitely continue talking and teaching in your videos. Your videos and your voice are very very stress relieving. Watching and listening to you pan has helped me through several stressful times. Love the background guitar riffs. Thank you klesh!

[@1616katerst]

Excellent. Thank you. One long vid like that covers everything. Squeeze bottle is such a big help for washing out from pan or any cleaning. . And a second sniffer bottle for black or such sand goes so faster. Your great Man!

[@catgirl6669]

I like both but as we get more I'd stay for the longer video. please keep narrating I really enjoy listening to you talk about what your doing and why. thank you for all the great videos

[@ChrisW18]

I definitely liked the longer video, but that’s just me. Awesome stuff Shane! P.S. congrats on the house!

[@tylerm.6685]

It is almost as relaxing to watch you pan and talk as it is for me to pan a paydirt, definatly like the longer format!

[@BenjaminsDebt]

Can definitely say you helped me find a hobby i love and get through this pandemic. Thank you!

[@fragnet1411]

Liked the longer format too! I found it to be very relaxing, watching you pan all the classifications. Thanks!

[@timothyluckey9078]

I really enjoy watching the full video. It’s a good take away on how the whole process works. Keep up the awesome content. I’m too a Colorado resident. And we are new to this and looking forward to prospecting this summer of 2023 . Thank you the Luckey family.

[@jacobaccurso]

Thumbs up to longer videos. Don’t cut anything out. We can always double tap the right hand edge to jump 10 seconds at a time if we want to. Great video. I’m imagining buying gifts for my nieces and nephews. What fun!

[@Naytanical]

Really enjoyed this long format dude. Saw a lot that I would ordinarily fill in the blanks myself e.g. seeing surfactant in action, seeing gold get caught up in wet magnetite. Awesome work 🙌

[@Xasukis]

thank you for the extended cut!

[@DTMRM8]

Shane, your videos are amazing. When I was in the hospital in early 2020, not from covid, your coin search live streams gave me so much to listen to while resting. Listening to you talk and the sound of the coins hitting the table and being slid into the box was the best white noise. Thank you for them! I want as much Klesh content as you can stand making. More long videos would be great. Thanks!

[@Klesh]

Thanks that’s awesome to hear - and I do plan on getting back into the coins shows after moving and rebuilding my filming studio

[@TroubledOnePaydirt]

I’ve come full circle now. This is the first gold panning video I ever watched. I just panned my third, fourth, and fifth bags of Klesh products yesterday, and I am HOOKED! I love it. So relaxing. I needed this in my life right now and I can’t thank Klesh enough for introducing me to it! Klesh Krumbs are awesome little bags by the way! I’ve done the Krums, the beginner bag and the gold strike bag. I’ve yet to be disappointed by a Klesh bag or a GoldNuggetSales bag. Love em both! 💪🤩🤩

[@cookconzo6013]

Getting a longterm space to yourself is key for creativity, can’t wait to see more on gold and potentially wood+gold ?✌️you’re awesome

[@klintbartle54]

Just watching you pan and with background music and verbal sharing is awesome Klesh thank you for your time and channels

[@au_rockn6797]

I enjoy all of your reviews....but I do watch when I can during my lunch breaks.

[@andrewmitchell402]

Loving the Lloonnggeerr version a lot more Shane and to be greeted with a golden smile like that at the end, takes your breath away

[@matthewthomson5082]

I've been watching you for 2 years. I appreciate you. Thanks!!!!

[@yooperprospector7735]

I like the long format, watching this video was very relaxing and informational. I believe it will be a great teaching tool to introduce my grandson to gold prospecting. I really like the part where you added the surfactant to the water an the floating gold immediately sunk back down where it belonged. Thank you Shane. I appreciate your videos brother.😎

[@DevilsOyl]

The sense of calm that your longform videos give is great, your voice and the music are very soothing. Thumbs up for longer vids and congratulations and good luck on the new house. Exciting times

[@sanchopanzaandsonnycrockett]

You are a SUPER PROSPECTOR. You are Fair and good Teacher. Went to P. R. (You) and found great items there in our rivers. Thank you again for a great lesson.

[@stanlande3753]

I like the longer format and your instructions are both welcome and complete. Ty

[@tplyons5459]

Your show brings back the memories of summers in the early 70's when I was panning in Clear Creek. I'm now living just south of the Bendigo gold fields.

[@jeffholmes1362]

Love the longer format, always fun to watch gold appearing. Thanks for sharing. It will be nice for you to have space for all your hobbies, sounds like fun times head.

[@Tony-ok5pz]

Love the longer videos and love seeing the sluice box working. Thanks for the awesome videos.

[@joschmidt4951]

Thank you for the long format. loved seeing you do the flour gold as I have often wondered if I was missing part of the process. Great job. Nice to hear you talk along the way. Keep up the GREAT work.

[@bsvenss2]

Longer videos are better and your voice is really nice and relaxing, so keep on talking. [update] This was a really cool video. Nice with the things you don't usually see, like the flex tape and so on.

[@tiborcsizmadi4796]

As someone that has never panned,i really enjoyed this longer version format,I have seen lots of panning videos..but its always ..yeah yeah just pan it..what they don't show are the subtleties and touch you need to ( especially on the very fine concentrates) to get all the gold you can..excellent job you just got yourself a new subscriber

[@joycecampbell5590]

This is the most detailed video of yours I've ever seen...super fine media on that last wash/ rinse...a fun bag.. waiting on the full outcome - value etc !

[@Chewligan1]

Yes your longer format vids are great and good luck with your woodworking projects Shane.

[@JoeKunsch]

I love the longer format stuff. Thanks Shane! I remember when this channel was still Klesh Guitars. Don't remember when I subbed to you but it was a LONG time ago.

[@jmt1454]

Really enjoy the longer format and the conversation is entertaining and adds flavor to the panning

[@rudyceballos8471]

Klesh, I really enjoyed the longer format, keeps me interested on how you classify, stratify, and find the gold, great job.

[@Deebelle10]

I really appreciated seeing more of the process. I actually enjoy the educational aspect of longer videos because it means you didn’t have to rush an as a novice, I can observe more nuances to the skills needed to prospect…even at home!

[@duesenberryjas]

Woohoo!!! Congratulations on the house 🎊 So happy for you man!

[@Klesh]

Thanks so much!!

[@duesenberryjas]

My pleasure you for sure deserve it all!!

[@ed5925]

Great video yet again Shane, keep them coming !! also I do enjoy the longer version over the short sped up version

[@veronicachandler6639]

I really enjoyed watching the extended version which helped me catch some of the subtleties in your technique. I enjoy hearing you talk through what you are doing, but I will watch the videos however they're presented all the way through. Thank you!

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

Very much enjoyed the long , informative video!! Seeing everyone doing the fast forward and cut always, I forget how long it really takes to pan!!

[@Woggerdogg]

Dude...dont mind the longer format at all. Folks who dont like it can fast forward. But im sure most dont mind at all. This video helped me out...A TON! I thought I was the only one who had tons of problems with black sand. I dont mind cuz I have alot of tine to work with it. But sometimes it does get hectic! Glad to know we are in the same boat.

[@jackpetersen5776]

Watching the longer format helps show the difficulty of panning the flower gold, enjoyed watching

[@danrogers9945]

Dont comment to much anymore(although you almost always replied when i did!cool!),but understand how hard it would be to get back to all.my take on longer videos is.... love the longer ones when have time to watch.people can just fast forward if need,others can watch it all.win win i think.been watching for years.thanks Klesh!

[@titojelagran6657]

Yes the long format is great two more of these these are very entertaining I love the long format thanks for bringing it on do more please

[@shedboi]

Congrats, that's great news, I'm excited to see what's to come in the future. I enjoy the long format videos and listening to you talking along the way too.

[@deanmayer6508]

I had gotten my bags of paydirt from Golden Paydirt and I got screwed on every bag I ever got. I would leave bad reviews every time but of course they wouldn't post them. I might at best get out of any one bag of theirs, 4 or 5 micro pieces of gold. Needless to say I deleted them from my life. I've never seen that much gold come out of any bag. Thanks so much for this video. You earned my subscription. The long version really helped me since I'm no expert at this. I can't get out into the fields to hunt for gold due to having stage 4 cancer. So, I will have to do what I can here at home. Thanks again.

[@TechGorilla1987]

@6:27 - The screen clog is known as “blinding over” and even effects larger screening machines.

[@timv453]

This was a great video for "the process". Watched it all and learned a couple of tricks. Thanks Tim V.

[@darrengolding4083]

I enjoy the longer format and with you talking in it and thanks for sharing your videos with us ..

[@johnboardman5852]

I think you taking your time gives a better perspective of what your doing and how it's done. TY.

[@rockymountainbowhunter2989]

Just starting in the gold prospecting. I live north of you about 1 hr. Away. Love the video Thanks!

[@jeffreyarvik5936]

Love your videos. I definitely prefer the longer format. In this video i saw the Jet Dry in action for the first time (after hearing you talk about it hundreds of times). That was super cool. Like to hear your input and thinking out loud a bit. I think it helps novice gold-panners like myself know what's going through your mind, and why you're doing what you're doing. Keep up the good work. Congrats on the house.

[@KassiLyn]

Congrats on your home, just discovered your channel. And yes continue talking through your videos. It makes it easier to learn from your experience

[@DG-mi2mc]

Love the longer video's. And it doesnt bother at all that you are talking. We can learn something that way. Keep up the good work man

[@Akborn81]

Great vid. Definitely enjoyed the longer format and the talking about the process you do. Can't wait for the next one.

[@RonnieFrancis]

I enjoy your videos anyway so the longer they are then the more I can watch. Keep em' coming.

[@danbrawn9262]

Hey Shane. I liked this video. I liked watching you sift and pan the sand to get to the gold. When you explained about your old guitar 🎸 build and repair shop finally explained why the channel was know as Klesh guitars. Good luck with the future of your channel.

[@dianneborrelli1056]

What s great tutorial. Thankyou. You left no stone unturned.very enjoyable process.God bless your future plans.

[@krogertoaster1621]

Never thought gold panning asmr would be a thing but ya know what i love it

[@bloodyjack3898]

I always like the mix of long and short, but sitting by the fire in goldless Connecticut while the winter storm howls outside the longer narrated version was awesome! Plus a great ROI from a great company! Scott

[@timhicks8936]

That looked like a awesome bag of dirt Dude! I love it when you got to take your time and pan slowly!

[@oltroutjunkman3471]

All your videos are great. Really enjoyed the section on you panning the fine floor gold.

[@matthewholden2884]

My favorite part of your videos are always when you drop the paydirt in a pan for the first time NICE

[@jamesfiocca3914]

I have done a few of these bags and always get a really good ROI and Brian is a man of his word.

[@El-Diablo-Blanco]

Bruh, I'm digging the long format showing the process,whether its pan or sluice or what ever,, does not matter. Chatting through it is great as well. keep up the awesome work.

[@Klesh]

Awesome, thank you!

[@CubanKiwi]

The long format is much better! I put some of your videos on as I study or do homework, appreciate the great work!

[@kalennighteyes]

Dude, I love the longer videos! Perfectly wonderful. I could watch this for hours haha!
