Dirt Hogg Paydirt - The Best Gold Paydirt - PERIOD? British Columbia Canada Gold (Extended Version)

[@creationrr]

Believe it or not, you have been a giant part of inspiration and showing me how to gold pan as a hobby now. I have been watching you for probably 1 and a half years now, and your videos have always been a source for me to calm down. I just wanted to say thank you because you have changed my perspective on a lot of stuff. Keep up the good work! 😄👍

[@Klesh]

That is awesome!

[@denisebruce203]

Speaking for myself i really enjoy the extended versions.very informative & you have a great soothing voice 👍🙂

[@vincedibona4687]

@21:57 - now I have the Nestlé Quik jingle in my head from when I was a kid - “Thick & rich & chocolate!” with the bunny… jeeze, I am old… 😂

Did we ever find out the mystery possible metal/precious metal was klesh? Long time follower I just don’t comment much. But I like the videos at least lol. Shout out to the 42%!

[@Klesh]

Probably Galena

[@greyjohnson1097]

The garnets can be inlayed in rings and other jewelry and possibly guitars they are pretty hard and usually have to be sanded using a diamond bit on a dremel

[@VidsBeCool]

Soo cool! ❤ I love what you do and have had a ton of fun gold panning with your help! Thanks so much! 😎

[@alicegriffin402]

I have been watching your videos for about 2 years. I found your vids from watching Chris at Vo-gus. He puts one of your guitar picks in the pan next to hiss gold for size. Watching you helped me through cancer surgery and chemo. Thank you!

[@Klesh]

Chris is my best mate from Australia 👍

[@BetheCog]

Love the extended version. I can't buy all the paydirt or spend a heap of time on the river, so it's fun to enjoy seeing what you get.

[@gonetoheck]

The metallic rocks...I'd try to see if it was lead...lead is malleable ...hit it with a hammer and see if it fractures apart or if it stays together and flattens.

[@jawbreaker9240]

Great video Klesh. I love these old videos. They really showcase how far your skills have come over the years. It must have really sped up the process when you started using the spray bottle to wash out the bottom of the pans during your panning. Watching you pan back the garnets was almost cathartic as it was slow and methodical. Cheers!

[@kenthoskinson4158]

Thanks, Im enjoying these videos. Im curious when you start telling about guaranteed gold amounts. Of all the things Ive learned from you, that was like the biggest one as far as avoiding rip-offs.

[@Klesh]

Yep. Even back then, I was getting ripped off...that's when I started warning people AND started my own paydirt company to combat the rip-offs.

[@magwa8855]

Theses are some of my favorite videos of yours man. Lovin 'em

[@alancadieux2984]

That right there is typical panning in some areas, I've done it. Being in Alberta is even worse than British Columbia, because the gold is weathered down to minute particles of flour fine dust. If it concentrates and your test pan shows less than 50 specks/pan I'll keep looking a 100/pan, ok set up highbanker. Those garnets are here, red, purple, green, & typically annoying. The black sand is plentiful, only a small fraction of it is magnetic. This video is a good illustration of what it is possible to do with a pan, an infinitely important skill. Thank-you for posting.

[@TheRekitter]

Thanks for all of the FINE videos Shane. Just a thought- all of these small gemstones (garnets) might be fun to find in your pay dirt after being tumble polished. Just another way to use more of the tailings.

[@Klesh]

Absolutely, I use lots of garnets and anything that happens to come from the river directly in all my paydirt. If you're looking for more gems and minerals specifically that would be the discovery bags 👍⛏

[@StevenMiller-uu2wg]

Keep up the good work brother absolutely love these videos on the extended one😊

[@Scozta]

We've never seen a video posted "5 seconds ago." First! Hello Klesh!

[@guillermodelnoche]

If you really need to pan at the river just pan into another submerged pan and take all of the material home for the accurate clean out. Great video!

[@offyarocka]

So is this the episode that the "Lets take a look at it in the pan" running gag was born? These uncut versions are awesome 🤘😎🤘

[@Klesh]

Yep

[@line_guy30]

Thanks to you I'm a new to the panning life. Wondering what the gold colored, foil- like, material might be? Got it from gold bay and was pleased with the amount of gold, but there was a bunch of this light gold looking material.

[@davidgetchell3633]

Inspirering video, mabe the gray stuff is hematite ??

[@Emeraldwitch30]

I would wonder if its lead? But I'm just a rock hound and know nothing but oh pretty rock or strange rock amd it goes into my collection lol 😅 my mom calls me a reincarnation if stone age woman lol 😆

[@davidgetchell3633]

@@Emeraldwitch30 One way to test then is to crush it with pliers, if it breaks, it's rock , metal will mash.

[@ram2791]

everytime i watch one of your videos I want to go to the creek or buy some gold. Will we be able to get monthly or weekly krums again soon?

[@Klesh]

Probably not Krums sorry

[@jakebrown5963]

​@Klesh that sucks I liked doing krums

[@Klesh]

@@jakebrown5963 they're still available just not as a subscription

[@JMRSplatt]

Is this the first.. "Let's take a look at it in the pan? -> Cool! " ... ? lol very NICE

[@Klesh]

Sure is

[@robbrowning5640]

I just got a big bag of paydirt that looks similar to this stuff from an ore operation who works with gold silver platinum or an i got a large amount of similar looking chunks of what looks like silver and some looks like platinum to me. Happy panning!💯🙏😁

[@nimbly1693]

Do you think that maybe a thick rubber band or something like that around your silver dollar tube would work better with the magnetic stuff?

[@Klesh]

it might, but i just use my hand .

[@pokeneckjim1375]

Looking forward to the new videos. 👍🏻

[@smcmarzipan]

I love your videos and Paydirt. I recently got over a gram of gold in a gold strike Paydirt of yours.

[@Klesh]

Nice 👍 yeah all bags will have over the guaranteed minimum amount of gold

[@matthewgrice6902]

You said that paydirt was from B.C.. If I remember right I watched some of Dan Hurd's videos and the particular river area he was panning had alot of garnet. I don't remember if he told how he seperated the gold and garnet. He may have done the same as you, but off camera. Thanks again for the videos.

[@Klesh]

Yeah, I've been up to BC with Dan on a few of his claims. We found some garnet for sure.

[@anthonyonthegold]

Ive seen you pan in the sink a few times. How many time have you had to snake the drain lol. But the farnets that are not able to be made into jewelry. Deff can do some cool things with epoxy

[@Emeraldwitch30]

I have little glass vials of gemstones that were gifts from friends and relatives that know im a rock hound and I love them displayed on my rock shelf I bet if he put them in little vials he could sell them as samples of what they look like. Or add it to his more challenging paydirt for fun

[@michaelsandoval892]

Have you ever tried a shaker table

[@JackalopeHerdmaster]

Good video.

[@matthewgrice6902]

Thanks for the video. Very insructional.

[@cherylmasoumi5567]

Could you not use the garnets in a resin setting design with lighting, I myself think it would be cool.

[@Klesh]

Sure can

[@CPstarkiler]

What is the silver rock ?

[@jawbreaker9240]

I don’t know if you’ve watched any of Dan Hurd’s videos but he’s found some pretty crazy garnet loaded beaches probably close to where this pay dirt came out of.

[@Klesh]

I don't really watch prospecting content , but I've made a few videos with Dan on a visit to his gold claims in Canada 🇨🇦

[@sovereignlivingsoul]

i think the best part of longer videos is hearing your thoughts as you go through the process, i have about 3lbs of fine sand to process and i noticed very small red garnets, is red the only color that they come in, these garnets may be 2mm, i am also finding a lot of silver leaf

[@Emeraldwitch30]

Garnets can come in green too and are worth more than diamonds because it's rare. I'm a January baby and garnet is the birthstone I also love green gemstones so imagine my surprise when I heard of them. Only to be disappointed because the cost is way way to high for this gal! Lol I have a couple big natural garnets that have a reddish/purple color when the light goes through them.

[@alancadieux2984]

I find some that are purple but translucent along with the red, the odd green one. But my question still is: what am I finding? I don't know yet.

[@colddeadhands5167]

Loving the old vids

[@jakebrown5963]

Is there a way to see how much gold is in a gold chain if so I have one I'm pretty sure is gold plated says 18k but I did an Amazon gold test kit and it only came up at maybe 12k

[@Klesh]

If you're not sure your best bet is to bring it to a jeweler

[@kevinwilson4346]

Silver stuff might be Galena

[@cherylmasoumi5567]

Second question would you sell a small bag of garnets? I'm talking about the smaller ones

[@Klesh]

I'm actually looking to buy some small ones myself

[@alancadieux2984]

Check Dan Hurd prospecting, he is into all sorts of semi precious stones.

[@MrJudder413]

2 questions. 1. Do you make acoustic guitars? 2. And if so would you consider inside of a mother of pearl inlay make a gold and epoxy inlay?

[@Klesh]

I have done both yes

[@Andy-hl7gh]

What were those silver rocks?

[@Oreo1978.]

Have you ever shown a video using mercury if so what episode, if not would that be something you would do in the future?? I think it would be a very interesting video

[@Klesh]

Yes, check my NYC urban prospecting video for some mercury fun, many other videos as well

[@Oreo1978.]

@@Klesh ok, thanks 🙏🏽

[@jesseclayborn]

This was a long one but cool.

[@DEVILLXX74]

My question is, what did you do with all those garnets?

[@Klesh]

Most are in my garden

[@Aaron_Hanson]

Question: is that you playing the strings in the background music? I’m not a musician so I can’t tell if it’s guitar only. 😅

[@Klesh]

Nope this is a song called "Fresh Fallen Snow", credits in the description of every video you hear it (or any other song)

[@Aaron_Hanson]

@@Klesh thanks mate 👍 Loving your content btw, Chris from Vo-Gus Prospecting put me onto you with his gold amount visual scale using a Klesh Guitar Pick. Cheers 🍻🍻🇦🇺

[@PanningPaydirt]

I had a great bag from them!

[@robertmurphy8863]

Enjoying longer videos. Did you figure out what the silver rocks are? Is it galena?

[@Klesh]

Probably galena

[@blairmurphy5531]

Finally lol!!! Let’s take a look at it in the pan.

[@marshalldressel9615]

I think it’s mercury gold amalgamation. Silver tarnishes, so would not be shiny. However, silver will also form an amalgamation with silver.

[@marshalldressel9615]

That should be silver amalgamation with mercury. My dentist used to amalgam at quarts with silver and give them to me. You won’t see that in today’s world,

[@marshalldressel9615]

I hate spell check! That should reas “quarters!”

[@latenightdad1700]

Still waiting on that klesh and Steve 1989 collaboration. Let’s get this out on to a tray NICE……

[@MrJudder413]

First "let's look it at in a pan" !!🎉

[@Pitbull.Prospecting]

Is it bismuth

[@Klesh]

Nope

[@Pitbull.Prospecting]

@@Klesh what was it??

[@Klesh]

@@Pitbull.Prospecting probably galena

[@markzimmerman9736]

well after spending same amount on yours i only got 6.35 worth of gold?

[@Klesh]

Must've been some of the Raw bags. No guaranteed minimum amounts of gold, make sure you read the description before buying!

[@DG-mi2mc]

Love these extended versions! I've got a question, what's the most unexpected or unusual thing you've ever found while panning or looking for gold? Much love 🙏

[@Klesh]

Probably finding mercury the first time

[@markfauth50]

Could it be aluminum? Pummeled and pounded by the rocks maybe

[@systemfile]

I’ve seen more garnet in my life than I care to admit. Ran an abrasive waterjet for years.

[@silent_fungus]

I would love to see extended version of your $10k video

just fyi u forgot the little link in the corner when you point and say you can see the original video here, it's in the description so not a huge deal

Thanks

@Klesh no problem

[@Bonzerknight]

That kinda looked like a galena

[@ernestedwards4073]

161st👍! IDK, not the best. Awesome video. Question, Have you ever tried panning for gold with 1 of those primitive big rounded metal pans, like I have seen in other people's videos of panning in the forest?

[@Klesh]

I have a few big metal pans, definitely not my favorite to ise

[@alicegriffin402]

I suspect he means a Batea pan.

[@PanningPaydirt]

Shipping is still super reasonable as well

[@markhacker9869]

No thumbs up for videos already watched

[@undecidedcontent9442]

Wow that was not a good bag … I purchased a bag back in 2017 and my bag was loaded and I purchased 2 bags back in 2022 and only opened one of them and still have one unopened but the one I opened didn’t have much gold at all

42% watcher & Subscriber.. Gold Hog paydirt their 1lb bag still doesn't list a guaranteed amount of gold, the 2lb says 1 gram, and the 3lb says 2 grams. the 3 pound is $231. with a estimated return of $123 (off 2 grams) from Goldcalc.

[@TheXanthoman]

You should change the name of your channel to the patient panner , just sayin

No disrespect but wen i bought your paydirt it was cool having all the weird stuff in it but there was Alot of it 😂😂😂

It depends on what bag you buy. The small Krum bags have about the same amount of gems and minerals as a big bag, so yes there's a lot of weird stuff I get it.
