Culvert Of High Hopes, Round 2!

[@GSProspecting]

Great day out there getting that Au. You got this fam 💪. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Thanks GS!

[@mandybrown7758]

Very cool, I had a feeling there was gold in that riffle packed culvert, awesome Very interesting for sure

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

This is my second trip to this one. First trip was better, the parking here is a bit risky so I never have alot of time to work it properly

[@Pa.PatriotProspecting]

Man so wish I could get out there! ✨️⛏️

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

@Pa.PatriotProspecting same here I'd love to get out your way also maybe one of these years!

[@PhiLeo7973]

Good Luck & GM Goldpan.☘️

@@PhiLeo7973 thanks Phil!

[@WildKatProspecting]

Thanks!

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Wow Kat thanks! If this was done by accident somehow please let me know!

[@WildKatProspecting]

@Goldpan-SuntanNM lol! No not an accident. I just wanted to support your channel. Maybe you can get you some more buckets! You can't possibly have enough buckets! Lol

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Just broke another one this afternoon haha! Thank you we really appreciate the gesture we will put it to good use that's for sure!

[@nathan39romero]

Always like the culvert vids great one lots of work to do there.

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

@nathan39romero Yeah and the parking at this spot is pretty dicey. I really need to be dropped off instead of parking there.

[@WildKatProspecting]

Oh man! I was really thinking you hit it this time! That culvert looks promising, but the rocks don't really? If that makes sense? Glad you got something! Hauling those heavy buckets I'm sure was not easy!😊

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Yeah I know what you mean about the material. It's kind of expected to see that kind of stuff in the outlet of the culvert as it's lighter stuff and floated on down the pipe

[@dankingjr.2088]

Nice. New Mexico's hardest working prospector back at it.

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Hardest working definitely not the most prosperous 🤣

[@MamaBird70]

Woohoo! 🎉Nice

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

@MamaBird70 Hey good morning Mama Bird! Hope you guys are having a great morning over there!

[@TroubledOnePaydirt]

Nice! Well done sir, 💪💪

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

@@TroubledOnePaydirt Thanks T.O.!

[@CandSMINING]

Looks like culverts are a good place for critters to hang out.🤔🤔 Of course everyone knows that culvert critter guard the gold.😲😲😂😂 Nice looking material in there. Send me those nice dark gray clouds. That's the kind of gold we have been getting. Not big, not all small, but it all counts.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

I'll go outside now, point my finger to the sky and warn those clouds if they don't head your way I won't be nice to them anymore 😀

[@imzackson]

great adventurs, culverts well worth it!!!

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Needs way more investigating but the parking is super risky so I need to recruit one of my sons to drop me off with a drywasher 🤣

[@Ltn.Immelmann]

It's a shame that this type of culvert wasn't used in Germany. It's always interesting to see your work. I always hope you have your truck parked nearby. Otherwise, lugging buckets around becomes torture. Well done, mate. Thank you for mentioning my channel. ⚒👍🤠

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Yeah the parking is pretty close but it is a bit on the risky side due to adjacent property owners who may not like me that close.

[@BillyBrew]

Not too bad for 3 buckets cheers!

[@MtnGoatGold-ds4ds]

Great video buddy! NMDOT owes you for cleaning out the culvert! Nice bucket handles buddy😁

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Hmmm..... I'm going to contact the State they owe me for an hour worth of labor! Yes, those handles are totally sweet!

[@JellybeanJean]

🎉✌️

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Great stuff the gold must of been right on the bottom cheers Glenno

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Exactly was a bit strange how it all played out but learned alot from that venture and that's all that really counts

[@HeathHilton]

Looked like a good day !

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Sure was Heath!

Thabks Bill!

[@GoldenSkullProspecting]

Great vid brother, that kinda surprised me to that only the vacuum had the gold, definitely more investigation needed 👍🤙

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Yeah alot more investigation is needed. The bad part about this place is that the parking is really really risky so I'm trying to get one of my sons to drop me off at it! 🤣

[@michaelfercik3691]

I am lucky in living close to LaPlata Canyon, 20 miles west of Durango, Colorado where there are close to one hundred old gold and silver mines to prospect on, and I have a high grade gold location on the LaPlata County Road where I give free lessons on how to gauge the dowsing of gold. In the 1970's my father and I reverse engineered the physics in dowsing (the same physics that energizes the alarm on electronic metal detectors), and we invented the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod for applying dowsing physics in locating our old core-drill on the exact center of gold and silver veins that are buried under 200 feet of glacier rock and till, which worked out perfectly for us. These dowsing physics and dowsing techniques are too important to the world for myself to selfishly take to the grave. So I wrote the book for teaching the world how to apply physics in dowsing, with explaining how to build the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, which is the only dowsing rod that accurately gauges the element being dowsed by pitting the energy of gravity against the energizing of the pure one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load that is tapped onto the ELEVATED acetylene welding rod. This precisely gauges the dowsing of all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition, and most important is grading or deciphering the amount of the dowsed element that is contained in the elemental mass that is being dowsed. Anybody can become ac professional dowser by practicing my book's dowsing lessons of buried pipelines and electrical cables, tunnels and voids, precious and base metal placer and lode deposits, dowsing for treasure, dowsing for any element, amplified long distance dowsing from a moving vehicle, and dowsing on water from a boat. I hope dowsing enriches your life intellectually and financially.

[@MrStrobey]

Michael: Is your book available to purchase?

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

I saw it last night on Amazon and bought that thing. I'd like to see what it's all about also!

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

@michaelfercik3691 Thanks for all the information! I bought on last night! I've acually been eyeing an area West of Durango to go prospect. Looking to head that way next Summer to go check it out

[@MrStrobey]

Thanks Casey!

[@SilvasSmallMining]

Nice work G&S! I was wondering if you were gonna clean up that culvert. Last time, it was protected by “La Llorona” lol 😂. Good gold hunting! Take care.

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

I'll tell ya how this is going to play out I can already tell and I know how my luck goes. Guaranteed when I do hit it big one day La Llarona will show up, suck the life out of me, leave me as a blank carcass and steal the gold 🤣

[@wolfstacker]

Like 84🎉

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Thanks Wolfieee!!

[@marshallvinsant2630]

not bad. I also thought you would get a lot more.

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

@marshallvinsant2630 My forst couple tests have been really good for just snagging a couple buckets. Need to go back and really hit it hard

[@smokeyandspikeproductions]

That is just baffling, I had high hopes on the outcomes of this one. A lot of material to process for such a small yield, better than being completely skunked!

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Yeah 3 buckets, not alot of gold, I'll be back to it one of these days with a drywasher though

[@smokeyandspikeproductions]

@@Goldpan-SuntanNM That's actually a really good idea, lots of riffles there to clean. I'm sure if it's an active source nearby it will replenish itself.

[@Rocallscabin]

Well U didn't get much shinny but it looked nice outside, much luck 🍀next time💯

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Its always about just being out there and exploring for me! Thanks for swinging in buddy!

[@AnneHeyns]

Not very bad at all☺

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Na it wasn't too bad for just three buckets

[@oklarry6056]

Nice one Goldpan, I wonder if the dude that hit that spot last recovered enough gold to replace his missing tweezers😅. Stay cool Brother.

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

The guy who hot that place was me and shucks I didn't find any tweezer sized nuggets that time either. Glad I found those though it's always good to have something for the day. At some point I'll be able to sell them at a garge sale and at least be able to get 5 cents for them hahaha

[@jamesreal7987]

@@Goldpan-SuntanNM YES IT IS ...I GET SAD WHEN YOU DONT GET GOLD THATS ALL

[@GoldVP...]

Sources, sources, sources....especially upstream. I have always wanted to do culverts, after seeing a few places, but they had valleys above them, but now i am going to wait till spring, because apparently there is gold in the sand they lay on the roads, in northwest bc lol. When i get back to my home in mid November, i will finally have the opportunity to spend a month running my gravity sluice. Building a mill takes a long time, but the reward is relax prospecting time.

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Yeah, the source, it's funny you would say that as alot of old timers around here say there is no gold in the mountains above it. Love it when I prove them wrong on stuff. Secrets, secrets secrets can't be tucked away forever!

[@jasoncunninghambluejmc]

I’ve been hoping to find a few of those throughout the country to go to every year, have a little bit of jingle in my pocket

They are pain as you just never know if there are other people out there who also go smash them out. Hope you find some though good luck out there man!
