Digging Sand for Gold

In most cases while prospecting, we find ourselves tossing aside the sand to get to the more coarse heavy dirt where the gold likes to hang out. Today I’m running the sand as well. This is an area that got heavily beat up by not one but two floods over the last year. There are also areas of bedrock where a small pit has formed from the wash out during the flood. Let’s check that area as well!

Keep em commin. More Color is waiting at the Spot 👍

[@northeastexpanse]

Thanks for the encouragement! Can’t wait to get back out! 🤠👊🏻

[@buffalokrisgoldprospecting]

That looks like an awesome spot . And those pieces look nice and chunky. That black chunk looks like a pirite cube

[@northeastexpanse]

Yeah brother the gold has been decent there. Ran the piece over a streak plate and no black streak. I can barely make out a little bit of a silvery streak with it. It’s a very dense mineral 🤷‍♂️

[@granvillewooster7673]

Well done thank you so very much for sharing hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend brother 👍👍❤️

[@northeastexpanse]

Thanks Granville! Enjoy the weekend as well brother! 👊🏻

[@Ltn.Immelmann]

I think it still takes time to accurately predict this section of the creek. Take it slow, mate. My lust for gold after finding a nugget over the weekend got me down. Legs, hip joint and spine have reported. I can barely get into a car anymore. It was a lesson to me. Nice gold finds, my friend. ⚒👍🤠

[@northeastexpanse]

I agree with you, figuring out some of these areas takes time. Sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason to them either in some of the areas that are all glacial till. I’m sorry to hear about your injuries Peter, hope you keep it moving buddy ❤️

[@JeffsTreasureHunt]

Love the video! Keep up the good work!

[@northeastexpanse]

Thanks Jeff 👊🏻🤘🏻

[@johnbegos8492]

do you have a preference as to which "slopes" you go on your expeditions? meaning, east or west side. i go searching on both in franklin county ma, garnets galore, gold not so much. some have a preference, ,, just curious.. another wicked cool video also! keep 'em coming!!

[@northeastexpanse]

Spent a lot of time out in Franklin county. There is a couple of south facing brooks that I have found gold in out there. Had to just look at the map to find the direction they were facing. Those brooks are in the Mohawk trail area. Also Cold River and Deerfield River as I’m sure you already know.

[@andrewpotter2285]

It’s all chunky 😃

[@northeastexpanse]

My shovel likes that place 🍩 👊🏻

[@gutfinski]

That black crystal is most likely zircon.

[@northeastexpanse]

I wish it was..🙌👊🏻

[@jeffdelan5124]

Do you have to classify at all to run the gold trap?

[@northeastexpanse]

No classifying needed. I classified one time only and that was when I got into some very dense packed red and black dirt on another brook. Basically though just shovel and send it!

[@michaelburbank2276]

Hematite crystal

[@northeastexpanse]

Did a streak test and it’s not showing a red streak. Hematite shows red on a streak plate. 🤷‍♂️

[@GramCanyonSam]

That's a trigon hematite crystal

[@northeastexpanse]

I want to find more of it. This little piece weighed 2 grams which seemed heavy for it. Going to light some candles and align my chakras with it 🤣👊🏻

[@GramCanyonSam]

@@northeastexpanse if you could locate the source or a pocket they fetch a pretty penny there's a few hematite sources around but I've never seen any with trigon structure very cool 😎

[@northeastexpanse]

Good to know brother! Saw hip bees video and Happy Birthday pal! We must be a day apart on Birthdays and fellow Tauruses. 👊🏻
