[@hemifiedsixtyfour2813]

Its nice that gold dredges remove all that toxic lead that fishermen leave in the streams and rivers.

[@ProspectorAl]

I love the location! I have been there before and did some panning there in the Swift and a few others too. Found some gold in all of them. Not like Alaska or California, but gold nonetheless and great scenery.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

it a blast though!

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks for watching!

[@dodgygoose3054]

With that mercury, I would be testing up stream to see where the old timers where hitting. Good to see you back to two-person dredging.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Good idea!

[@indianagoldgetterscottie]

Right on getter done

Thanks for watching!

[@downyourtube]

A *NET* around the rock and a *PARACHUTE* in the water and you can move *ANY* rock you want.

I did well on the Swift like 35 yrs ago. Also did ok on the Swift River in NH. Back then gold was cheap around $300 p/o. It got real cheap around 2000, like $250 p/o. I had bought a bunch of it then and sold most around 2011/2012 as I had a guy paying full price. Most of my stuff was 99.9% coins @ around $1800 p/o. I did have a bunch of Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle Coins most of them PCGS rated. Did well with them. It was a good time as I also sold a Amazing Spiderman #1 along with a slew of other comics and my 1933 Goudey Baseball cards Being out on the river was always such a great time. Was that a blunt Jay was smoking? He seemed to hide right quick, oh yeah he was definitely hiding it. Who cares it's legal

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Haha, ya Jay likes the green nuggets, lol

[@goldpanr]

Always luv yer vids man! Good to see you back close to home. A++++++++

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks for watching!

[@downyourtube]

To further add to my comment below: And if you make it strong enough and big enough you can alter a current of water with it. Something to think about. It can work.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Fun to try!

[@gymwestwood7588]

These vid are great keep it up

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks so much!

[@gymwestwood7588]

@@AmericanGoldProspectors I am in Australia and going to if I get chance go prospecting, do you have any advice on metal detectors, or small wash boxes ?

[@prospectorgold5529]

Thanks for the great video and hope you get more shiny and it’s better than the snake River gold

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks for watching!

[@afternoongarage]

Why is there so much mercury in the gold? Is this some kind of water contamination? Great video, I look forward to your next adventure.

[@BIasterXD]

@@mattlacroix2647 That's what I assumed, I'm sure it's done other places but I've seen a few videos of people in Africa still using mercury and they inhale it like it's nothing.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks for watching!

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

From a past gold rush, probably. Thanks for watching!

[@partridgepimp3363]

It’s from the old timers 100 years ago. They had super long wooden sluice on that river and payed tons Mexican workers to shovel into it all summer. There is a cool book about the history of gold mining in the area called “ The next bend in the river”. I definitely recommend it, some cool local knowledge and some interesting characters in it.

[@416Rival]

Living the dream man i'd love to be out there

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks for watching!

[@miller75outdoors]

As I'm sure you know Maines motorized season doesn't start till June 15 and ends September 15th .....

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

This was June 15 a few years ago.

[@goldenoutdoors]

I have always found mercury at that spot on your 2nd and 3rd day. From the gold I got there it didn’t seem to be as bad further up or further down which is weird.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Strange. Thanks for watching!

[@Pitbull.Prospecting]

Nice looking gold bud

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks for watching!

Water is still Very Cold. And the black flies are awful pretty soon!

[@davidgetchell3633]

Black flies are Maine's state insect !!!!

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

For sure!

Another amazingly fun video Bryan, thanks for putting so much effort in! Question: Do you ship your merch to UK?

[@gdog1373]

Just ordered mug and T-shirt, hope it helps support you just a little bit :)

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks dude!

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

I'm not sure how all that works. KZbin handles everything on the merch. I don't even have any merch yet, hahah

Which one is the east branch I believe that I went by you dredging before July

[@randyapplebee5691]

Are you in Wyoming near afton heavy pans my friend

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

New England. Thanks for watching!

[@righttobeararmsetc.8492]

Most gold prospecting doesn't pan out not all will be rich so u people know it take alot of hard work

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks for watching!

[@lancegouvan1653]

I think I seen you in Maine on Monday or two ago I wanted to ask you how much gold you found but my friend said it probably wasn't a good idea which I don't know if it was you or not but you were on the West Branch I've never actually seen gold before if you can give me an idea of where I can go in Massachusetts to find some gold I'll give you a secret what happened to us when we were out there

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

It wasn't me because I am in Nome, Alaska for the summer. Deerfield river is the only place I found gold in MA.

[@DavidNelsonM]

Or the assabet river in northboro mass but very gross river

[@daganscott535]

U need to film u sucking up the pay dirt underwater

You’re killing the environment using that 2-stroke oil burner winch. You should use electric ⚡️. How dare you .😂😅🤣 lol….
