Best day of Wisconsin Mining: First Picker!

Love your videos, I just read a comment that you replied to saying you will run out of content come winter but I think you could easily do educational videos because these are already full of educational tidbits. I'm in Wisconsin and work building roads in the twin cities area and sometimes we build through big spots that look like it was a giant river at one point. It's been a lot of fun watching guys like you who know the earth. Thank you, good luck with your nuggets and keep them coming please.

There is flour gold in every river and stream in Wisconsin I swear! I live in Wisconsin (in Milwaukee), and I have heard for years about people finding gold in the rivers and streams. The glaciers really ground up all the gold in Canada and brought it down our way and dropped it off :) Very cool video!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Some streams hide the gold pretty well.

Very cool. Any chance you'd consider doing a short video outlining the gear you would use as a beginner? I know nothing of sluices and panning techniques, and it would be cool to get a video that lays it out plainly.

That might be a good video option.

Have you ever tried panning up in northern wisconsin on the marengo river? Im very curious to know if anyone has found anything at all in the marengo river.

You need a gold claw book gold pin. It can get through a 5 gallon bucket in 5 minutes. The panThe production pan can handle a gallon and a half of dirt in one go. Once you get good with it, you won't even want to bring your sluice box. It will make the sluice box obsolete.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I plan on giving one a try.

[@AndrewWelling]

Great video, did you see my biggest PC. Was out with some of the Wizard team members, 😮, happy Prospecting. DGP..

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I did! That was a nice one!

[@milkmanchoppers]

That interesting rock with the hole could be ancient fulgarite (lightening struck rock and sand that melts into glass) that has crystallized over time. I found a strike in the Arizona desert with a hole that I could fit my entire arm into. It looked like black glass had boiled out of the ground! I dug as much up as I could and still have over 40 lbs of it, almost 20 years later.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

That sounds like a cool find!

Waders are better than leeches on the feet.

[@mintonmiller]

I am surprised I have not seen you use a post hole digger to get deeper down in a concentrated area.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Well I don’t want to start an open pit mine. Might be an interesting experiment but the deeper you go the bigger the hole needs to be and that’s a lot of digging.

[@mintonmiller]

@@GlacialGoldHunter just curious. I should think you could get a little deeper, butstill have a small hole, but I don't know, I have never used one.

Why would I mention which creek I was in? I haven’t been to the Gordon flow age but I’ve been near there.

[@taylorscott5605]

I’d be curious to know if there’s any good in southwest Wisconsin or in Rusk County. SW: I heard Cross Plains was good and I know they rerouted the Black Earth Creek downtown and I wonder what that turned up. Rusk: there was a big gold mine in Rusk county, I wonder if there’s any in the creeks in the area?

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

It was a sulfide mine. Copper nickel and gold and other metals can be locked in sulfides but it takes chemistry to extract it. It’s not the kind of gold you can pan. It’s possible that some native gold was deposited around there but the target of the mine was the sulfide deposit.

[@herbertbell6135]

hello fellow prospector. a short while ago,you found some silvery gray stuff. i think if you watch Northeast Expanse video,testing out the"gold reaper"sluice,i think will get your answer. love your shows.
