Gold From a Meteorite? Gold Prospecting in Wisconsin - Nugget Lake, WI

[@Klesh]

What's your favorite thing in Wisconsin? For me it's a toss up between the Gold and Cheese curds.

[@Jays2Lazy]

Definitely the cheese or the free zoo in madison

[@luistaracena10158]

Most definitely the cheese curds

[@brandeni1785]

Cheese curds for sure

[@Washman-jw3hl]

Most deff the flour gold wizard channel. That guy has an awesome personality for KZbin much like yourself Klesh. Great colab work

[@UK-Blue]

I worked on the State capital in Madison, and the cheese was great!

[@FlourgoldWizards]

We all nailed it on this trip !!!! ( had fun) 😀✅✅✅ This guy is legit 👍🏻

[@myhomemovies9110]

Mr Klesh sure is Hollywood and that Flour team with Rigby & MIttens keeps me coming back for more!

[@Washman-jw3hl]

Dude you run an awesome channel yourself. Been a sub for a little over a year now. Love your content.

[@donmoor4e974]

My favorite thing is geting to see two of my favorite miners finding some gold. Awesome, cool , and groovy man!

[@gordjensen8649]

glad you and jason had an enjoyable time I seen jason video of this trip it awesome to see when the prospectors I watch get together glad you had a good trip to Wisconsin

[@AyouGuysProspectingTM]

Wish I would have known you were out there I would have stopped out. Most of gold is 8 to 12 inches down . The spot you are digging at the end of video is the spot I found some of my bigger pieces in Wisconsin.

[@Klesh]

Awesome! I did post the invitation for my Minnesota episode for the $10 and up people as always, didn't do invites to the Wisconsin episode though, it was a planned meeting with FGW

[@madmattdigs9518]

I’ve been subscribed to flour gold wizards channel for a while. It always surprises me how much gold Jason and Rigby find up there in Wisconsin. I never knew it was there… and I also love the Lake Superior beach mining he does. There are streaks of black sand on the beaches loaded with flour gold. Great channel!

[@Ltn.Immelmann]

I had already seen this video at Jason (FGW). And I'm very happy that I can see it again from your point of view. What a great family you are. I think it's great

[@ericstarszak2076]

I used to live in Wisco and never knew! And yea...the cheese curds with a close second...the beef sticks

[@MrMarcreed]

Loved it!! I’ve been subbed to Jason for a loooong time now. Thanks for the share!!!

[@Thegoofyairgunner]

Got to bring my little thanksgiving baby home and get a Klesh video as soon as I get settled in!?! Good stuff. My wife gave me a beautiful 9lbs 1oz baby girl!! What a thanksgiving for me!!

[@amethystAnge7]

Congratulations I just found out yesterday as well I’m gonna be a grandma to baby girl

[@Thegoofyairgunner]

@goldpanning dutchie jacco this is my 2nd girl and I have 2 boys. I think I live in heaven!! I wish you and your babies a full pan at every dip!! Greetings from the mountains of Virginia

Congratulations brother! I remember the day we brought my daughter home. It seems like it was just a few years ago… but she’s 19 years old now.

[@Thegoofyairgunner]

@@madmattdigs9518 time does fly by man. My other baby girl will be 16 soon I’m not even trying to think about it 🤣. And thank you brother

[@yo_mama6414]

[@philipz514]

Klesh your videos are so awesome it made me want to go gold panning in Htx Texas on my stabilized Sand drive way, didn’t find a speck of gold but it was still super fun learning from your videos and knowing how to do everything from your videos !awesome bro!

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

So much fun seeing the same group on two different channels!

[@leighanncronin6905]

Good to see a collab with Jason...I've been one of his subs for a few years! Love Rigby

Phony nevers is out anti mining governor! love to see you in this great state! is gettnig hard to find it, and if i do, i have to share it with the gubment!

[@Ryan-yo4dg]

Thanks for coming to Wisconsin, Klesh! Nice to meet you and Ryan!

[@gage562]

Just bought some of your paydirt and man am I impressed! Very nice packaging and I already got more than the guaranteed amount on one of the bags. I'll definitely be back for more

[@Klesh]

You’ll always get more than the guaranteed amount, just wait for one of those 500%-1000% (or more) bonus bags , those are fun to put together and even more fun to hear when people contact me about finding one

[@clintdoolittle1576]

SHANE that's some nice gold you found. I been watching and a Patron to JASON AT FGW for over a year now I think he is freaking hilarious a hell and won 2 bags of PAYDIRT on Patron last week or 2 this was a great video thanks SHANE 👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦

[@firechicken455adventures]

Great to see you here in Wisconsin having a fun adventure with Jason. Saw his video and was waiting for yours. Now you need to get him in Colorado for an adventure!

[@Ironsja11]

Man I couldn't be happier! Shane you taught me how to pan Gold at home with paydirt and Jason taught me how to find mid west Gold in my home state of Michigan. Awesome seeing you guys get together in Wisconsin and find Gold together! Too cool!

[@GSProspecting]

Great job all around fam. Gold squad out!!!

[@teamsignal17]

So cool to see my two favorite channels hanging out. Awesome! Glad you had a good time Shane. 🍻

[@marielg9143]

i live in Iowa this spring should be a good time

[@NefariousEnough]

Cool!! Thanks guys! ✌🏻🍻

[@TheKegtwo]

Good friends and a good location = a good time. Great content, thanks Shane.

[@tomtease8474]

Awesome you made it. Gold is good but the cheese curds are the bomb

[@death2putin718]

This is why people buy paydirt. All this time, effort and equipment for a couple of coffees worth of flower gold. You have to be extremely passionate and dedicated to do this. Most folks can’t be arsed.

[@Famo59]

I have been a subscriber to Jason when he first started on KZbin. Glad you meet up with him Shane.. Cheers Famo59 👍🍻🤓🥂

[@m.s.2926]

Hi, just finished the impossible paydirt bag .. i'm SUPER happy , my OCD is in a coma and i found 0.29 g. have a happy day everyone!

[@scoob57571]

It was awesome tossing some rocks around with you!! And don't forget to give the Wisco key chain the little lady.

Hey Ryan ! Yes indeed she got it when I got picked up at the Denver airport. Thanks and we will dig again 👍

[@kevindifranco3494]

I think I must like living vicariously thru you playing in creeks/streams... but my reason was for checking Biodiversity. My myopic ass can't see what you're finding. If I'm wearing waders while it's 32 degrees , you can bet I have 9' Steelhead rod drifting for "Chrome".

[@spagsketti]

With gold like that it is most likely in the first 12 inches of the top layer and will not go much deeper. You need more flow in your sluice. Ya, good starting point would be for every 12 inches of sluice 1 inch of drop. The flow should be swift but no so swift it shoots clumps out of the sluice before it breaks up. You would be surprised the gold will not leave the sluice. Happy gold hunting.

[@misskimo2]

Cool. Can’t wait for you to try Glacier

[@HoodBillyLife]

People have found diamonds there as well

[@alloverthelake6396]

I love your channel. I think you had 1500 subscribers when I started watching your videos. It's so awesome to see you approaching 200,000 subscribers. Inspired by you I started making videos about a year ago. I'm up to 646 subscribers. It's alot of fun! I've made friend's with other fishing channels along the way. Maybe if you come out to Missouri and the KC area I can put you on some fish.

[@bigscrum]

[@robertkerr4199]

Hey, if you ever come up into Canada to do some prospecting feel free to look me up! I'm in Alberta, and I can take you to some really good spots... find some gold, maybe spot Sasquatch... or I could just point out some spots on a map...

[@Klesh]

Absolutely man email me [e-mail]

[@mytwocoins]

Great trip. Do they think that the gold was exposed or brought along with the meteor impact. Fascinating.

[@Klesh]

I'd say it's from the meteor itself, but not 100% sure

[@snakeplissken3021]

Theoretically both. They are not certain that the "Rock Elm Disturbance" was a meteorite strike, could have been an eruption. There is a fault line on the east side of the park. It actually runs up the ditch going to the park entrance. Another theory is that it's glacial drift gold. That theory holds water too as there is a creek 4-5 miles west of Plum Creek called Rush River. The Rush is much bigger and deeper than Plum Creek and there is an abandoned gold mine there. The DNR filled the entrance in about 20 years ago. There is a legend of an Indian trading with the early settlers and he carried a small pouch of gold with which he paid them. It's too long to go into here but that legend holds a lot of credence because my great great something or other encountered him. Wish I would have paid more attention to my dad and grandpa when I was a kid. Anyway, Rush River is too far from Plum Creek to have been influenced by the Rock Elm Disturbance so one can assume it's glacial drift. But, both creeks have stories of people years ago finding small pickers and not just flour gold. One of the stories came from what now is Nugget Lake. All covered up now though. I heard from an eye witness the old timer had a half of a Rolaids jar of gold. I have a few more true stories too but too long to type out. Hope you found this helpful. P.S. You probably know this but there have been diamonds found in Plum Creek as well. Not gem quality though.

Please come to iowa we have flour gold but a lot of it in almost every creek and pink and green garnets silver ore diamonds and fossils, hard rock calcite clusters, piryte cubes let me no i have been prospecting hear for years and have found much more than anyone thought

[@logdog8920]

As an excavator for over 40 years, I live and work in the surrounding country side around Nugget Lake Park. I have read and studied different articles on the meteorite site. Just thinking would it be possible to pan for Iridum, a very rare metal associated with meteor impacts?

[@RedHotMessResell]

So I’ve found that (as a person that lives in two states and go between the two) that in Nashville you have to get a permit no matter what to pan. But in GA, if I wanna go over to Dahlonega (the gold capital) and pan that it’s says you can freely pan without a permit. Interesting. The more you know. I’m not far from dahlonega so I might have to try this someday when I’m back at my mom’s House.

[@Klesh]

Oops well I recently did my Tennessee video and didn't have a permit, although they told me I didn't need one in that county. I was on Wildcat creek in the southeast part of the state. Nice area, i lived in Monteagle while going to college. I enjoyed living in TN

Would you consider a all 50 states and where their gold originated from or something like that? Thank you for all that you do cleaning up being positive and patient
