Finding Big Gold In Culvert Pipe!

Finding big amounts of chunky gold in an old culvert pipe! Gold can be found upstream and below but doesnt compare to the hoards of gold nuggets, pickers and fine gold in the culvert riffles!
Hope everyone enjoys our videos on gold mining in BC, mineral exploration, geology, mineral deposits and that gold!

Can use them in BC but if a logging company puts one in it ok 🤷‍♂️😁👍😀

When you're panning gold, "PANNING!" at a rate higher than a typical hourly wage, you know you're doing something right. You guys never cease to impress, keep up the great work.

[@shawnyoung2132]

,I have to say how much i appreciate a guy like this who doesn't run his mouth yap yap yapping the whole time. He says the bare minimum & it RELATES TO THE GOLD ...that's it. So thank you Mr hush hush panning man, you are a GEM!!

[@richardbidinger2577]

If I were you, I'd bring a wet/dry vac and a small generator and get right down in the bottom of those grooves in the culvert, there's bound to be a huge amount of fine gold in there. Make sure you don't leave anything behind.

[@joshuanofuckingway]

richard bidinger great minds think alike , when I saw that 1st pan I was like he needs to collect all the material ,... I didn’t see your comment till after I posted my comment that happens to be the same as yours , you saw the video b4 I did ,, I’d suspect that little pipe pays out pretty good for these guys , or at least I hope so, good to see people thinking outside the pipe ,

[@911mining]

We will be back gates where closed the day after for fire season so it's a bit of a waiting game.

[@kricketflyd111]

For special programming... cleaning out that pipe and running it direct to a sluice would really excite your patrons.

[@Bmk87ca]

Can’t legally sluice in any waterways in British Columbia unfortunately.

@@ericsingletary2603 i dont eat fish at all and in this area you dont eat big catfish (channel cats are the big ones , yellow bullhead and brown bullhead are the locally eaten catfish and everyone but me, loves them) because they are dirty. As in they are mercury loaded .i am also told they taste sandy and unpleasant anyway. So im not sure how you mean when you say" cat fish style". Is that seasoned and breaded and fried ? A big hunk if fish cooked in hot cast iron?

[@MrComfyAustralia]

The plunge pool at the end under the log would be loaded!!!

[@philarcher4130]

I've tried culverts here in Maine and found about the same amount in the culvert as picking in the bedrock, on the same stream. Which is good in my opinion. The culvert is much easier to work! Im going to pick a culvert that really gushes during the spring melt.. Maybe that would pan out good. Good to see you folks getting some good gold, that was a nice haul and an interesting video. Thank you!!

[@adventuresingoldrush]

Now that's different, great Job, greetings from the Adventures in Gold Rush Team. Keep the Videos coming.

I can't believe I missed this video.Cheers for the link and can't wait to see the new video.take a wet and dry vacuum.they are quite lightweight.

[@timstingel9067]

That's impressive that theres so much in there but it does make sense that the pipes ripples would catch it

[@kennethhinshaw430]

Looks like a good place for a highbanker. Plus being more efficient. Looking forward to that video

[@BeefyPrepperthegolddigger]

Thought about trying this in the creek I’ve been prospecting. There is a pipe coming from a runoff feeder I’m not sure if it will have much but it looks like it might be worth a try. Great video!!

[@bobcansee]

That place is fantastic!! You guys never cease to amaze!! I think I would want a safety pan under that sq. pan. Looks like the gold could slide right out.

[@VenomStryker]

Culverts are great for panning gold. The ridges pick up the gold nicely and its like a constant panning as the water flows through.

[@f150twinturbo7]

That's so smart dude. Nice clean up. 👌⛏🤘 love it.🔥

[@chriscwikla7558]

Sweet! Bonus is, you get to work in the shade. I been getting good gold below a bridge. Today I was working it in a down pour and hail.

[@tia4758]

Very impressive! It looks like you have someplace to spend a lot of time. That gold must be good from above, below and on the sides too. What fun! 😊 ✨🙌✨

Only problem now is Tony Beets cruising down that stream in his mega dredge🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good find though👍

[@insolentstickleback3266]

HOLY MACKEREL! You found a good culvert that hasn't been molested! You are not even touching the drop riffles in that culvert, basically you got that gold out of the overburden! I bet you get well over an ounce! Congratulations on a SPLENDID find!

[@bradpolmateer4965]

Wow eh beautiful find I'd check every year

[@rastamanralph6670]

I'm now looking for some of them👍😁

[@DillonGSmith]

Absolutely incredible. I've THOUGHT to pan these but I didn't ever do it, priority number one for me now much? I can't believe I've been watching golding videos on tons of channels for almost 2 years and this is the first vid with somebody panning these things. THANK YOU. S I'm probably going Saturday if it's 41 and raining to try this now. ;)

[@Forbidaxe]

Nothing better than a city provided riffle tunnel loaded with water slowing pebbles to catch gold for you.

[@leighanncronin6905]

Really enjoyed this one👍 Yes, go back & clean that culvert out!!😉

I never would have thought of the culvert. Thanks

[@Sean-rj9mu]

hah nice! i know of a few spots in gold country that have the same setup. i always thought it was a free public sluice and you confirmed it. thank you! btw, just started watching your vids, please show more results. peace!

[@crohkorthreetoes3821]

pretty amazing. I have yet to ever find gold in a culvert

[@utahavalanch]

The pipe that will keep on giving for years to come. I found that horizontal motion pan technique works much better for me and keeps more gold than the traditional way on a round pan. Beautiful country to explore.

[@rodneyrhonemus3197]

utahavalanch is this in utah area?

[@russsherwood5978]

i ordered a pan like that, your videos influenced my decision on my choices of pans, most of the creeks that i want to try are shallow and wide as the water flowing through that culvert, be strong, be safe, and be blessed

[@ferdburphel2076]

Incredible find! I wonder if the bigger rounder pieces are at the end in the pool🤞 or above in a dead spot left or right of the culvert ? Neat pan.

[@NewfoundlandDetectorist]

Incredible find!!

[@jimmorgan3578]

Very nice video. I would think that the pan might benefit from some horizontal scratching with course grit sandpaper which would make some micro riffles in the main section of it. This is what I do to "season" a new pan after I thoroughly wash it with dawn dish detergent to remove any oils left on it from the manufacturing process. Thanks for sharing the videos with us. Jim

[@rastamanralph6670]

Great stuff👍😉

[@patdexter9188]

Yes, I have found gold in culverts also. But also have found if there is a cloud burst after spring run offs it can blow all the gold right out! So don't wait to long after the spring runoff!

[@axelhaar4114]

Impressive. Good video! Maybe worth mentioning that a creak is required that actually does have gold in it. Nearby I have half a dozen of creeks with culverts. But unfortunately not a gold area at all. All just granite based. No quartz veins, nothing at all.

[@joeljeffery8704]

Great job. Clean that culvert, make it shine. Thanks, beautiful gold.

[@billhamilton5498]

Nice job. You might want to bring a sluice next time. Lol

Another great video lads love seeing you guys at work as you are a joy to watch and use are a wealth of knowledge I have learnt so much over the use watching your videos and learning all about different types of rocks and minerals. I don't like that pan in the video as you have to pick and flick out the bigger rock's and could louse some gold. Apart from that keep going as you guys are awesome from irish Andy.

@@joanna49392 maybe he can even put some of them on claims... it just takes time and after cleaning them he could just wait for them to fill up again. Also he can put like prison bars on both sides and a opening with a lock so nobody else can clean them out.

That culvert looks to be highly productive and the material is easy to extract and process, good find, I'm sure your going to check out the pools at the entrances and exits as well! I like the look of that new pan, it's about time someone decided to design and manufacture something that's not round, are they for sale yet and do you ship to the UK? I'm going to have a go in some streams I know of from fishing where there's loads of quartz veins and black sands on the little beaches, I need a pan and may as well start out with what I intend to keep on using.

[@911mining]

Not yet this will be avaliable in a week or so when we do our full review. It's a new pan we have been testing for the past couple months the newer design has a few small changes like cleanup riffle at the back.

[@justindixon4564]

The problem with that pan as well as the gold claw is that once you get a flake in your riffles you can not get it back into your pan unless you have deep water

[@ozarkmountaineer3581]

Looks like you need to open a mine just upstream from the culvert!

[@glassontherocks]

I'll stick with my Garrett Super Sluice pan... I also use a Gold Hog pan. Both are excellent. Bazooka sluices work very well too. Good luck and *Great Job !!* looks like you have found a little hot spot.

[@jimwagner6260]

I love my bazooka sluice I was thinking you should just set up the Bazooka at the downstream and and just sweep it out

Looks like a good spot to use a garden trowel

Its substantially easier. Hard to get used to if all you have used is a conventional pan but its quicker, no classifying needed, great for fine gold, perfect for long trips in the Bush.
