Gold panning for the beginner

[@robertamurrant]

I really enjoy watching your videos, and the bloopers at the end made it even better!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks Rob. I try to share the experience with the viewers the best I can.

[@tonybroster8459]

Have to say mate really enjoyed your gold hunting today watched most of them,, carry on the good work and congrats on all that gold !!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hey thanks for the comments and feedback Tony, it all started a few years ago pretty much out of the blue after I had a bad fall on my mountain bike. During my recovery time I watched many episodes of Tod Hoffman and his crew on the hit TV show Gold Rush. I said to my dad "I'm going to give this a go" and here we are in 2020 still doing it! It's a great hobby and it certainly draws you in once you see some shiny gold in the pan.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

There's a clue in the title people but just getting out to the river and to tell the story is great for the soul

[@draigygoch]

Sole of your feet?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Ha ha yes Soul sole.....thanks

[@davidhutchinson4661]

Thanks for that Daz, have a good next year Pal.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Dave all the best to you pal.

[@cheviot62]

Those out takes are great. I've finally worked out the exact location but I'm not going to go there (although I'd love to fish thevriver further down for seatrout) . Got my own list to prospect. Cheers.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hey Steve, give it a go by all means, you might find a few decent specs. The drone shots always give places away if you do your research. As for the outtakes , half the time I can't get my words out lol , and there is never a script so to speak. I've a quite a few videos to edit at the moment, too many in fact, but stay tuned for more pal. Let us know how you get on pal.

[@Jonthebelchingguy]

The chase is better than the catch. Good motorhead song daz

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

That's right pal, good old Lemmy

[@bigsilewis3660]

Great video, always truthful and always something new. Not much to find here in East Anglia that isn't possibly at the bottom of a gravel quarry from the ice age. But like you say it's the fun of the chase.... you never know if you'll find some of the "good stuff". I can't wait to see where you go next.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks for watching Simon. It can be hard to compete on this platform against all the other KZbin channels out there who have some fantastic gold rivers on their doorstep etc but I enjoy the editing and flying the drone just as much as mooching on the river banks so it's all about being creative and telling the best story you can. Hopefully I'll get out soon and find some more of the good stuff that you can actually see with your own eyes. All the best pal.

[@atadventuresuk]

Good vid mate and grate to seeing you getting out regardless of the rain, cool to see another Pentax user I have a K50 for all my stills and use a DJI Pocket pulse iPhone for the videos. Do love the k50 tho. Keep up the good work and Heavy pans for 2020 Merry Christmas

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers pal. I will check out the DJI pocket pulse, sounds good and yes you can't beat a good old Pentax. All the best for the New year ....

[@v.g.vprospecting]

Love the chase and love the work , that's what it's all about for me🙋‍♂️ spending some quality time in the nature is a big bonus. That gold looks exactly like the typical size of gold you can find here I Sweden , and even smaller 😄. Nice to see you out there scratching around Daz👍👍. Love the end " bloopers " 😂 VGV Prospecting 🇸🇪

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello my friend. You can't beat the fresh air and the peace n' quiet, plus getting really wet. Everything else is a bonus. Have you got any plans to prospect in 2020.

[@v.g.vprospecting]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Well yes I do have some plans , nothing is 100% yet , but since Sweden really isn't a " sniping for gold " country I will need to do some travelling to be able to try it🙂👍.. Just need to sort all the logistics around it this winter 👌. How about you?? Any secret plans🙂?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

@@v.g.vprospecting Best of luck for the new season pal , they found a huge nugget sniping in Scotland. As for me I feel like every day I could do an adventure of some sort so will carry on with what ever pops into my head. I am restoring an old air rifle at the moment so will film that shortly and have borrowed my father's metal detector so that could be fun. Happy Christmas V. All the best.

[@v.g.vprospecting]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Scotland is a very possible candidate 4 a sniping trip 👍 , Some great gold has been recovered there💪👌. Looking forward to seeing some detecting vids from you in the future my friend ⭐. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and Dad's🎩 from the deepest woods of Sweden 🇸🇪

Your dead right David but I can't keep filming trips to the river where I don't find anything worthwhile. I'd be better off magnet fishing lol.

Thanks for the comments Michael. There are some places in the UK where I have found amazing gold too. I enjoy creating the videos to tell the story , gold or no gold. All the best my friend.

Great video and nice to see your equipment.as for you being a novice I learned everything I know from your videos,take care enjoy Christmas all the best.

Cheers Pal, you too. BTW I am looking out for a new caravan so might get around to doing a mini review of my Adria before I get rid of it - It's just finding the time to do stuff like this is the problem.

[@todtiger]

great vid, loved the bloopers

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hey up, we cycled through Haugh today and one of the lads grew up up around there. I told him about the 19th C reports of gold panning but he hadn't heard about that. It's one to do for the future.

[@highlandgoldprospecting7732]

Great video buddy good to see you out. Working hard as always ;)

I wonder if there is a feeder further up or just sparse all the way,that's the fun bit when you do find it near home,Il be watching your hunt👍🎅🎁

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I need to get a lot further up near the mountains pal, Funnily enough when I have been on my cycling adventures, Iv'e passed this location a few times now and have often looked down on sections of this river. It's about an hour n' 20 mins from home where as Leadhills is 3 hours and Wales is about 2 & half hours. There is no gold where I live basically....All the best buddy and keep up the good work.

Hi buddy do you know anywhere in Lancashire or Cumbria I could drive and buy a gold sluice?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Not in Lancashire pal. You can get them on line from DT prospecting, he is in Nottingham and has a KZbin channel. I got my Eldorado sluice from a Liverpool based company but I'm not sure if they are still going. If you get stuck I will see what I can do.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Highland mining also has a KZbin channel and makes em too.

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thanks buddy I bought one it never turned up and the guy told me to go through pay pal for the money back in all it took 12 weeks I'm like a kid when I get something new lol and wait and wait and don't get it il try the online one and look at his KZbin thanks mate

[@klousy58]

Amazing video. How much gold have you found total so far

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Matt, only a few specs in total on this river but from other rivers there's a wee bit more. It's not like the reality TV show Gold Rush where they fill a jam jar with the stuff. It's more like a thimble of the stuff. Surprisingly not a lot for all the effort. So a few grams is not too shabby for a lot of back breaking work.
