Finding gold in a Scottish Burn - MrDazp1's Gold Panning experience

[@ScotlandsGold]

Some lovely Scottish summer weather, and a nice show of gold for your hard work 🍻catch you one day 🫡

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I was faffing about at the camp like you do and the weather was spot on. The moment I arrived at the burn, which was about 1pm, the clouds descended and it rained all day and night thereafter 🌧😮

[@chambochambers8906]

Fantastic vid Daz great spot for a bucket and the miggis always show up nice one bro 👏👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

The littke beggars can have a feast given half a chance, the main thing is, I got and was pleasantly surprised by the clean up from a relatively short session.👍

[@surreygoldprospector576]

Nice result. Scotland, Wales or Cornwall - in the UK the gold is where the rain is!! :o)

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It wouldn't be British if we didn't have a spot of rain SGP 🌨🙂

[@cheviot62]

Lots of fresh deposits there. Nice hunting. Great result.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It's not a bad little spot if you want move buckets of dirt all Chevsy 👍

Hi Daz ,thanks for your comments on my videos must appreciated Watching you panning for gold and explaining all the different types of rocks, I also have a rock fetish. I collect them on my travels mountain and beach and display them in the house and garden 😊

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hi Old Guy of Whinlatter, there must be some nice rocks at the old mine dumps up at your last video. I love watching your mini tours of the mine valley roads 👍

[@robevans2659]

Another great video Daz. You got more gold than me and pete did on our 12 day holiday.....wich was cut short by 10 days due to very chronic food poisoning!! Just never make Pete a bacon butty😅

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Oh dear Rob. I hope you are all well now !

[@jaywhitney789]

Great video, daz 🤓. And with the price of gold at an all-time high, and it's only going to go up your onto a serious winner, their matey 🤑💲

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Gold is going up you are right Jay, and here's me just doing it for a bit of fun 🤔👍🙂

[@jaywhitney789]

@MrDazP1adv3ntures it's a win-win daz. I keep on looking at 1oz gold coins on bullion by post it would be something really cool to have. Every month, I buy two 1oz silver coins as an investment for the future because in 10-15 years, silver will be where gold is now

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

@jaywhitney789 that's forward planning Jay and a pretty safe bet. I have a friend who's son does exactly the same thing and it's probably going to catch on more and more.🏅🥇🥈🥈

[@hobbieminers8487]

😂that looked like a good day for Scotland there was no hailstones 😂 good effort tho brings good gold mother nature doesn't want to make it to easy for us.👍⚒️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It was a pretty good mini break I had up here to be fair but the weather came - like it can... but it never dampened the spirits. I will return to this spot atgain for sure

The good old British weather eh Tazy T. You rock up at the creek and it pisses down !

[@tazyt3388]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yep tis the norm for us too mate ahh the great outdoors aye

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I've watched your camping adventures. It's either tipping it down or you are hacking through the bush with 4ft puddles and mud everywhere on your quad bikes ...

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Raining here again today 🌨🌧🌬😩

[@EddieTheH]

That out just south of Kelloholm? I'm sure I recognise that stretch... 🤔

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hi Eddie, Kelloholm is on the Nith side if memory serves me correct

[@EddieTheH]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Yep, is this not the Nith?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It's not the Nith but that's a place I'd like to dip the pan in the water at.

[@EddieTheH]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures It's definitely worth it! The Nith's been pretty well agitated with this weather too.

[@Lakesdave]

I live in Carlisle mate and have a burn run through the garden. Do you fancy coming over one day and helping me see what’s about.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Never say never. You never know what could be lurking in the gravels up that way

[@Lakesdave]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures let’s sort something out then mate. I’ve got a lot of the burn through my land. Loads of scope I reckon. I have the pans and stuff but never got round to getting in there. 👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers buddy, have you researched the geolgy in the area ?

[@Lakesdave]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures to be honest mate I’ve not. We only bought the farm about 4 months ago. Just don’t see to find time to sit down long enough at the moment lol. Can I send you a private message with my postcode and name of the house. Obviously don’t want to put it on here mate

[@andyhastings5615]

Thanks for another great upload Daz.... do you ever take your dirt home to wash?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hi Andy, I tend to do it all at the river when ever possible as it's part of the story. On the odd occasion I have done this but time seems to be so precious these days

[@andyhastings5615]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures amen to that buddy. Hope your well dazza.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Andy, you too 👌

[@benjaminpark7419]

Ey up Daz! Any plans for cycling videos soon? Really miss them! 😊

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hi Ben, I have a lot of cycling videos to edit for sure. I just need to get my gold prospecting vids edited first. Thank you kindly for asking though. We will get there in the end 🙂👍

[@bernicebest]

Hi Darren, i find it quite mesmerising watching you panning for gold, I love the colours of some of the rocks, nature is really beautiful when we take time out to look, much more interesting than some channels, apart from flying down hill at 40mph. on your handle bars 😅 any closer to that wedding band yet? 😊

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Bernice, I hope you are well and thank you once again for the lovely comments. There's something very special about seeing gold in the pan in it's raw state. It makes you realise why people have searched for it for thousands of years. It's very alluring. I might be getting close to having enough AU now to make a wee ring. I know another gold panner who had some stunning rings made from their findings. The pictures of the ring made you go "Wow"

[@bernicebest]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Hi again, I used to love walking in the rain, even singing in the rain with my best friend and husband on many occasion, obviously no longer reaching the grand age of 85 on Sunday, now I’m really an old creaking gate, just imagine designing a wedding ring from gold you found that would be a dream come true, a hobby of mine used to be collecting unusual stones and painting designs on them and varnishing them to bring out the jewel like colours, then give them to my friends as paper weights, there were no iPads and iPhones when I was a teenager, we made our own hobbies, they were the good old days I reckon, never happier than painting and sketching and all things creative:). have a good day Darren, see you on the road 🚴‍♂ sometime! 😊

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Many happy returns on your birthday. That's a proper good age Bernice and it's heart warming to hear you talk about your husband. As a kid we all used to go out playing army, knock a door run, garden creeping, climbing trees, and building Dens. Great times. I know we all have to grow old but I still think we are kids deep down.🙂

[@bernicebest]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Thank you 🙏 I’m smiling just thinking about the antics you and most kids got up to, I agree we are all just big kids at heart, having a great sense of humour is the secret I learned that from my husband as you might have guessed, I have a wonderful daughter and a son who is a clone of his dad with same sense of fun, I have never laughed so much on Sunday at my sons barbecue and family get together for my big big day 🎉 I’m truly blessed! 😊 Keep searching Darren, you’l hit the jackpot one day!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Bless you Bernice, I look in the mirror these days and see my dad in the reflection looking back at me. He was an inspirational character and a grumpy one too but was a man of many talents. I guess we have to pick our selves up every day and keep putting one foot in front of the other and definitley keep smiling ...

[@CarCosmeticsChannel]

Great Video, this looks like a great place too. Is it Leadhill?

[@surreygoldprospector576]

Tyndrum (it says). :o)

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks, It's in the Scottish region.

[@CarCosmeticsChannel]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I'm going to go gold panning on the weekend of the 7th September. Should I go to Leadhill or Tyndrum? I think Tyndrum if you were there in this video. They have a campsite near too Maybe meet you there?

[@CarCosmeticsChannel]

@@surreygoldprospector576 Thanks :) I couldn't see for looking lol

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

The campsite at Tyndrum allows you to pan in the river beside it and there is some great gold to be found up there, it's just a log drive ! Leadhills and the surrouding areas are pretty good but have hammered. There's still good gold to be found though.

[@terrydickinson3296]

Will you need the number for fort Knox ? 😉

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I wish Terry, it's only a small amount 🙂

[@terrydickinson3296]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures are we talking grams or micrograms? What are the chances of finding any in a river up in the hills near Garstang?

[@kengotts2015]

Not with that sluice he wont.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

@kengotts2015 can you recommend a sluice that will significantly increase my gold recovery buddy

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

There could be gold near Garstang yes. The Lune carries gold Terry

[@muffchinthe3rd515]

Shiny 😵‍💫

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Tiny shiny and lots 🙂 of it

[@mylifeuncensoreduk]

Ever find any nuggets ?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

More like pickers than nuggets Calvin but this kind of sluicing is all about catching the flood gold. Nuggets tend to be found by sniping or metal detecting these days.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

@CalvinGatford I never thought it existed in UK. It is here in abundance. The Romans had a good go at it all but there's still a fair old amount left for us to hunt for. Albeit a bit trickier and smaller. 👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Best of luck Calvin. Any advice, give us a shout ...
