Extracting Gold from Dirt: Gold Sluicing and History of Money

[@SobrietyandSolace]

This channel deserves +5million views more than makeup channels. He is so dedicated to every step of the process, fantastic filming, and editing and he choses great people to learn from who come across well on screen whilst their specialist skills are being showcased. Fatastically informative, amazingly produced. Better than a lot of big-budget televisoon documentary series.A network needs to pick this up.

[@steviewonderisnotblind5833]

Great video, especially with the gold panner's commentary over the thing. Even if something is too specialized for me to understand, beats the hell out of a video that panders.

[@nicolasvanderweide5167]

Props to you for actually getting the history and development of currency correct, rather than just saying it was invented by the government

[@isidoreaerys8745]

It’s pretty decent. Anyone looking for an authoritative history of The earliest human economics should seek out Dr. James C. Scott’s lectures on KZbin. The earliest currencies were most likely grains themselves, which were seized as taxes by what was essentially a protection racket which became governments as they grew, developed writing systems and formalized debts.

[@justdoit2521]

The cool thing about this channel is that guy making the videos didn't act all arrogant and therefore let the other guy talk about his experience throughout the whole videos. Hats off!

[@norelyly1196]

Alan was such a knowledgeable guy, I enjoyed his explanations.

[@mogyman5753]

These videos are so great and need so much more attention

[@uhoy1488]

Moogle sure

[@FromPast2Present]

Very true

[@RaechelleJ]

Yes

[@masterimbecile]

I think you might wanna make sunscreen from scratch lol. You were red as a lobster!

[@victoriaeads6126]

I really like how your channel highlights the benefits of society. There are ALWAYS going to be individuals who excel in certain areas, and who can therefore specialize. I also love your TRY EVERYTHING, SEE WHAT WE CAN REALLY DO approach. That MUST have been how early humans survived and eventually thrived. This is why I'm proud to be a Patron of your channel.

[@micahphilson]

"I'll be... making coins, printing paper money, and beyond." Beyond? So... you'll be starting your own credit card company or something?

[@passingthetorch5831]

Mining crypto probably.

[@justinwalker5274]

HTMECoin, the new cryptocurrency

[@CrazyDanishHacker]

You can create virtual credit cards online too, but they have to be topped up with real money though.

[@omega6680]

Micah Philson no, he'll die lonely and sad

[@minidwarfdude9230]

Micah Philson He's starting his own democracy

[@firewaffles8208]

[@rulerofmonkeys1547]

Yes!

[@cobytang]

[@kaball6545]

You and Cody are good together

[@b2spirit35]

Pine ConeZ that sound like a ship. I dunno about that.

[@crablover3106]

What? A pinecone boat?

[@elijahsnyder1339]

Pine ConeZ love your profile pic!

[@annamariecuellar1994]

I love how chill this is and that there’s no music I love that so much

[@blazingeek]

I'm glad you're still pushing out videos. Keep them coming. I'm really enjoying these!!

[@cadence0dakota19]

Gold Price Per Gram $43.57 Gold Price Per Ounce $1,355.10 Gold Price Per Kilo $43,567.44. while panning is physically demanding, it is also fun, which pays for the entire trip even if no gold is found. I wish I could pan for gold in my state but its illegal even on property i own. according to my state, all gold and silver thats found in streams in my state etc even if it is on your own property all belongs to the state.

[@MrJackfriday]

IronSunriseForge just do it incognito..

[@TheRedKnight101]

You live in NYS?

[@cadence0dakota19]

yea lol

[@cadence0dakota19]

that's what a lot of people do anyway lol

[@whoareyou1034]

IronSunriseForge that law is unjust...

[@itsrdr3708]

This guy is gonna survive the apocalypse

[@vriskawhite6128]

Be the king of the Apocalypse

[@mitohumanoahd4237]

and no he will be the first it will gonna die

[@TheIdiotsAreTakingOver_]

There aren't many things I love more than this channel

[@N1NTHWARD]

Precious metal recovery is one of my favorite subjects, and I jumped for joy to see that Cody will be in a future video!

[@cerberushex9705]

Debt was use as a system before money. It was used everywhere and that is what we actually find when we look. In fact debt was the most common system for many people up until the about the 1800s.

[@jaridkeen123]

Next "How to be a Politician" run for Mayor of your town and make a video about it

[@crusader2338]

I like it!

[@tourhunt3474]

from scratch

[@victoriaeads6126]

NOOOOO! SOCIETY, GOOD, POLITICS BAAAAAAD!

[@gingervikingjesus2351]

I'm just coming across your channel & I'm already liking the fact that you're not ashamed/afraid to get your HANDS dirty!!🤙🤜🤛

[@MissiveCauseIMissYou]

It's a strange sort of meditation. But very interesting, I never would have imagined what life was like, the quiet moments, of the people in history who panned for golds and spread out over America.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Dope! Can't wait to see Cody again I love that weirdo.

[@jacobmortimore]

x9x9x9x9x9 go and sub to his channels then! He sure could use them

[@iriswoo8030]

x9x9x9x9x9 why is he weird like I know he has handled dangerous chemicals and explosives and has butter as his kypronite but how

[@HeyBroRelaxx]

lol why is butter his kryptonite?

[@xWood4000]

Relax Because he hurt his wrist by slipping on butter.

[@tijmendewolf6674]

He is kind of socially awkward, but I love him for that

[@dylanvanwenen8306]

You deserve so many more subscribers tbf you put so much time and work in each video and are really under appreciated, as always keep up the good content

[@Aligirl77]

Anyone else notice that Andy looks like he's been working out/dropping weight?? Keep up the good work Andy! I loved this video, super inspirational and informative!!

[@mostlycusimbored]

Knowing there's that dude panning for gold out there brings me comfort

[@danielbloom8540]

That guy seemed pretty cool

[@zoilachavarria109]

I seriously love you so much ❤ i love the fact that when you fail you try again,i love your humor in the process of creating these things :) keep up the good work - a 12 year old

[@arieroskam4000]

I love these videos so much, you guys totally deserve some more recognition. Keep it up lads :)

[@rulerofmonkeys1547]

That is so cool! I love the chill music that you put to this too!

[@wendyw9685]

I’ve been following this channel for a damn long time and I’m actually so proud to see how far the team has come :’))

[@blackdog6969]

As a kid, part of an excursion to the Bathurst race track was a gold panning session. We actually got a fair bit out. Mine was stolen (likely because a bunch of 10-11 yo kids thinking gold is, well gold) but it was quite cool to see. I remember it vividly. Might try it again some day, got a couple old sources in mind

[@nicholasparker626]

Dang that's awesome that you are doing a video with cody! Was thinking at the beginning of the video why you hadn't done it with him. Next video is going to be so cool!

[@TheDankTiel]

Im glad this channel is growing! Great job man!

[@mitchellmaytorena1137]

I love specialization. I'm very happy cultivating your guy's high grade, organic cannabis.

[@roryweeding5030]

Mitchell Maytorena couldn’t thank you enough 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Will-Xaru]

That's awesome of you, but if you're not doing it legally then it probably isn't the smartest thing to say when you have your picture in your profile and the police could find you. :P

[@micahphilson]

Will, and your full name as your account.

[@Will-Xaru]

Yup, full name, picture, talking about the fact that grows weed online, not the smartest weed brownie in the cookie jar. :D

[@croatoankennels3504]

Y’all dumb asf, its the internet he could be lying people do it all the time

[@Kadderin]

I liked the fact you tied in the sponsor with the theme :) Nice job on this video, really enjoyed it.

[@Macho_Fantastico]

Fascinating to see how it's done. Looks very time consuming but I bet you get a nice rush when you get a good nugget of gold.

[@Ogaitnas900]

The gold sluicing guy was really eloquent, he was very clear, concise and never stumbled with his words.

[@Caramelhorse1]

Looking forward to the Cody's Lab video! Been a fan of his for years

[@janjericho123]

I really like Alan, he seems so knowledgeable and kind. The Information he provided was subtle but very valuable nontheless, especially the reference to how Airplanes work - just cool!

[@luheartswarm4573]

Loved the guest, seems like a nice fella Hard work indeed But if it pays for itself mostly, heck, why not?

[@sykesaker4799]

You should pick wild eatble mushrooms, take spore stamp and grow them indoors :)

[@corporaldung7766]

i love this channel! every video i watch i feel smarter!

[@xdoods]

Wow, after watching Cody's Lab for so long I didn't figure I'd learn much from this video, but I've learned a lot.

[@timmyturtle7621]

I missed this channel man I'm glad you have ideas

[@JuliaHap]

I would love to go panning for gold, wouldn't even know where to start with it though but maybe someday. For now it's just satisfying to watch.

[@thechosenone8808]

Next video: Bitcoin from scratch

[@logonontrily4161]

Well he said "and beyond"...

[@kikip.1156]

That’s a room full of high grade conputer’s worth and a year of time for a single bitcoin........

[@thechosenone8808]

what about ethereum or monero?

[@eliastimmons5003]

It's possible to mine bitcoin by hand. I think there was a computerphile/numberphile video on it.

[@roarore8810]

Kiki Pike not a year but still a long time at least on a different video i saw it took like 10 and half months

[@micahphilson]

Aw man, that's one thing I hate about studying abroad, when you upload this late, I can't see it till the next day!

[@vedritmathias9193]

I like that you seem to go to Utah so often. It's my home state, and I love seeing it.

[@Danspy501st]

I had always love stuff like this, and I dont know why. Just the idea behinding something and melting it down to cast it and so on. Something I really would like to do

[@nullsetvoid]

I just found your channel and this is what the Discovery Channel should be.

[@smow7422]

YEEEES Cody’s Lab Collab! Pumped af

[@Christopher_Wheeler]

You're like the new Mike Rowe. I love it.

[@FiveStringCommando]

Yay! Cody’s Lab! Looking forward to it! Collaborations make me happy. Great video!

[@danielk5618]

Love your videos The HTME team puts so much effort in and it’s amazing to watch quality videos for once 👌👌

[@romanticscents]

just found this channel today! new subbie! keep up the good work!

[@andrewevenson7798]

Looking forward to the Cody’s lab collab.

[@PowerCFX]

Working out and getting some blinks. That's a real good hobby!

[@wonfii4970]

Very high quality!! Learned a lot, keep it up and I know you will grow as a channel, and as a person! :)

[@Blalack77]

I love panning for gold but we don't really have any here in Arkansas and I just have to do it the rare times I travel out west on vacation. I mean, we might have a little somewhere but I've never been able to find it. These videos remind me of a time when I actually felt like doing hobbies. I used to have a new hobby every week when I was younger. Woodworking, blacksmithing, gold panning, metal detecting, horticulture, chemistry, electronics, etc... Now I just can't get myself to do them anymore. I guess I'm getting old and tired and don't have the will to have hobbies. I'd like to change that though..

[@karriemmuhammad9128]

love you hard work, determination, and effort

[@yummyjackalmeat]

I lived in Utah for 8 years. It's such an underrated state.

[@herobrine4563]

Man, your channel is amazing. You deserve way more subscribers. Greetings from México (:

[@keanumarquez5123]

Fantastic vid!! Very complex ideas explains in an easy to understand way.

[@Meowing_cat22]

Woah I always wonder why we use money and why we buy things using them! And you answered that, thank you for sharing this awesome info!! 😊

[@barkingspider056]

7:40 - explanation of how the sluicing tool works was great

[@laelawalker133]

Now this is what I call living life! Trying new things.

[@meisfeverish]

Cody's Lab!!!!! He is one of my favorites. I am looking forward to this very much so.

[@ashurean]

Honestly this just looks like fun more than anything, a good hobby

[@sunlessniko7893]

This was vary peaceful to watch!

[@dylanmannerslolley]

Like the guy said that actually looks like it could be a really nice chill hobby.

[@awolfgod]

so happy to see your working with cody again

[@spencerthompson1049]

I live in Utah I’m buying that guys book right now!

[@TanakaMatsumoto]

Love the series... I do think if you had to do these activities in varying amounts everyday you would get good at all of them. How much of these new skills do you go back to regularly to see if you can still manage the process? If we all had to do everything the hard long way we'd all get really good at everything.

[@aceprobester7650]

Glad too see your growing. Levelling up skills.

[@ameyapathak2008]

Cody is good when u talk metals or in general elements

[@sashathered582]

I knew when I subbed at 60k this guy was going somewhere, just like cody's lab he'll hit a million this year im sure.

[@CaptQtip]

You can extract silver out of silver fulminate in the poppers you throw on the ground. Thanks Cody for teaching me that.

[@barkingspider056]

explanation of how the pan works was great

[@ryanshone3280]

What a great as genuine and guy Alan is. Hope he is doing well 👍🏽

[@NPC20567]

let me just say, i called it. i knew as soon as i saw extracting gold from dirt he would at last mention codys lab, who i love btw

[@christopheb9221]

1:42 thank you so many people get this wrong. even before currency there was the idea of debt so bartering was not always necessary esp locally. It was traders that move long distances that you might or might not see again that money was really barter and currency was necessary.

[@adamcarr1920]

Can't wait to see the episode on silver :D

[@DiscoDevil197]

What a nice man, if i lived in utah i definitly wouldve bought the book

Minnesota weather is finally getting better

[@ut000bs]

It isn't about making money. This is what a lot of people don't seem to understand. It's a hobby that makes some of its money back that you spend on it. Like metal detecting, it isn't something a sane person would ever attempt to do to make a living. It's fun and it keeps you out of trouble and you get to look at and hold a little shiny when you're done. Not only that, it adds up.

[@ethanporter5546]

Very interesting video. Keep up the good work👍🏼👍🏼

[@shahidanwar6324]

Excellently presented, I'm impressed... subscribed and liked. Thanks

[@violaisreallycool]

Dude! That guy is so dang smart! Awesome video. You're really inspiring!

[@SaszaDerRoyt]

Gold panning seems so relaxing (provided there isn't a gold rush at the time) Dunno if there's anywhere to do it in Derbyshire but that'd be cool
