Cache Creek Colorado Gold Mining - Panning and Sluicing Day 2

My friend Derek Richardson joins me as we go to Cache Creek Colorado to go gold mining. We have an epic journey over Independence Pass and get camp setup just before nightfall. We start digging first thing in the morning and instantly find gold!

[@sharonbolton6477]

I just found this video. I'm looking at 2 claims in Grand county CO. And this will be my very first time prospecting... I may need help. Lol That being said... and helpful hits or tips for a new prospector?

[@UnknownColorado]

Keep digging. Gold is where you find it. ;)

[@drinxs505]

I'm going up there in a few days to do some slucing and wondering if I can set up my charcoal grill near where I park?thanks and love he video

[@UnknownColorado]

Yes, absolutely

[@oddball8758]

I see 4 maybe 5 layers in that hole, Do you know which layer is giving you the Gold ? and, Whatsamatter with your creek ? It is flowing in and around trees, brush and surface cobbles,....that's like,....infancy for a creek !

[@UnknownColorado]

lol that's not the actual creek. I will put out a video soon explaining the many diversions that lead away from the actual creek. Many of these diversions were used by the original 1860s miners.

[@bigbobgrows1399]

Did you catch a fine for the fire? Was just up there a month ago working a finger between tailing piles and got a gram of fines

[@UnknownColorado]

Nope. No fine. :)

[@bigbobgrows1399]

Man I should have just had a fire, I was up there the same time you were. My truck is on your video

[@jamesmccord8542]
