A big hunk if fish cooked in hot cast iron?

[@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 ,

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

[@travisk5589]

That pan sure doesn't look easier than a regular pan

[@911mining]

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.

[@dirkfrazier9779]

@@911mining If you classified, I think it would be real quick, but stopping to rake off the larger pebbles and back panning down takes half of your pan time. I definitely approve of your method of sampling a culvert pipe; I did it when I was a greenhorn, and now I realize how poor my sampling was. I need to put my boots back on and try it again!

[@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!!

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

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!

[@KubotaManDan]

wow, nice colors. how do you like that pan? seems a bit small & some fine ripples needed on the back side for clean up.

[@911mining]

The new pan has a couple cleanup riffles. This is a 3D printed prototype not to the market yet. The new design has some changes. We will be doing a review within a week so far we haven't used a better pan, no classifying needed is also a bonus. The back fits the same as a 10" pan to the brim but you can go though a pan in 60 seconds safely.

[@911mining]

For all those intrested so I don't have to keep typing this out. The pan we are using in this video is a new design and a 3D printed prototype. We have been testing this for 2 months now and have not used a pan to date which has better recovery and efficiency. The pan is designed to capture the most amount of fine gold possible. There is no classifying required with or without the dam in place. A typical pan with this should take about 60-90 seconds max, although we have seen the same results in substantially less time. Over the course of the two months there have been slight adjustments to the design as well so the newer designs will be a bit different. We will be doing a review within the next week, in which we take the tailings from this pan verses a conventional pan and send them in for a SCR21 AAU assay for gold in the tailings. This is meant to tell what pan lost more gold. Stay tuned because you will be surprised!! The website for the company that makes this pan will be made live at the time of the review and we will post it in the videos description. Thanks for watching and happy prospecting!

[@jasonverrastro1709]

All you need to do is use your pan over another regular pan and then pan all the tailings to see how much you are losing.

[@911mining]

We wanted to do something exact. So we let the lab handle it👍

[@Matteo-jd6mt]

I was told culverts were a waste of time. This is great news. Thanks for this.video. do you have anymore information on that 3d printed square pan?

[@petermyers479]

Matteo I was told there was an Easter Bunny years ago. Culverts are natural gold traps. They’re built like a pan and there’s constant water flow through them, what’s not to like?

[@bradpolmateer4965]

It would make for s fun time trying Plus you can find other things in culverts as well

[@911mining]

We are going to be doing a review where we test this with a regular gold pan the same size and send the tailings in for a SCR21 pan concentrate analysis which will tell us what pan recovered more gold, we placed the same exact amount of fine gold in both pans. The website for the pan www.placertools.com will be avaliable and made live when we release the review. The pan will only go into production I believe if our testing shows it captured better gold than a conventional pan.

[@wakeupidiotsnow2611]

When can you guys get back and finish a clean out of the culvert? (upstream & down)

[@911mining]

After fire season probably won't be till early September we need a good full week of rain straight with no really hot days after in the forecast before they open the gates

[@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

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.

Love it, its perfect for exploration.

It also generally takes 1/3 of the time to pan, no classifying needed. If your a veteran panner the side to side motions only is something you need to get used to, but it's by far a preferred pan of mine.
