[@HeroineDark]

Shane, I think you under-estimate our desire to watch everything. XD I would 100% put on a 2 hour panning video... I don't have the means to go out panning, but I find your video relaxing.

Cheap enterainment

@@Klesh OHHH YEAH!

[@aitrus21]

Hey Shane! One prospector to another, thank you for realistic outcomes from your gold trips (not just gold porn). It's awesome that you're giving people an idea of what real prospecting is like for the average hobbyist miner. Also, every time I find color in my pan these days, your "reveal" guitar riff pops in my head! 😂

[@stewdeezie1212]

Heck yeah! That's a good cleanout! I'd love to find a third of that lol. Finding even a few flour flakes in the wild, really prospecting, is more satisfying than buying a fat bag of paydirt. Cuz you found it instead of buying it.

[@Klesh]

That's what it's all about man, just getting out and enjoying the day

[@sargentnuts584]

Always love the videos, keep up the digging!!

[@JustJeff420]

Such a SUPER COOL video!!! Love the onsite action!!! Thank you for your awesome video's!

[@silverlicious2086]

The adventure is worth every penny. Not to mention the fresh air and scenery.... and that's pretty much priceless.

[@FlourgoldWizards]

You hit my truck !!!!! 🤣🤣🤣✌️✅

[@Klesh]

OOPS

[@NeverEvil1]

🤣😂 this a hilarious when KZbin Creators do crossover shout outs. OPE, back to the Frozen Tundra for me. Great video, hopefully I can talk the wife into heading to FairPlay CO for a few days of fun.

[@stlrsmike]

I've been saving mine for a few years, about 20 grams so far.

[@r0b1975]

Totally all about getting in the great outdoors and enjoying some self mental health grounding. Rivers, kriks, streams all cancel my tinnitus the shiny stuff is just a bonus! Thanx Shane 👍🍻⛏🇬🇧Rob

[@inquisitivealbertan1712]

Excellent video, Shane. Nice footage at the dredge site and the magnet footage is mesmerizing for some strange reason. Great methodical process for your at home cleanup. Thank you both for sharing.

[@Klesh]

Thanks 👍

[@brian70Cuda]

I really enjoyed this vid. I have many yards of old tailing piles to go through, never thought of doing what you are doing.( the tailings are from the early 1900's) Thank you Shane!!

[@SRTsmokes]

The removal of black sand with magnet is satisfying specially the sound iit makes being collected. Great job klesh

[@NorthernGraser]

Awesome video Klesh. I have been panning in Minnesota and can't get enough of it. Flour gold and small flakes, but so worth the adventure. I had a blast panning out your paydirt, nice gold and lots of gemstones, thank you.

[@Klesh]

Right on!

[@popouimette8136]

Hey Boss Just finished The paydirt I picked up from you. I have to give you credit, I have enjoyed the anticipation and panning it out more than anything in a long time! The value is terrific, never get tired of seeing the golden smile looking back at me from the pan. The crystals ,coin and the guitar pick are an excellent touch. .7 grams and 4 pickers was awesome ,definitely a bonus bag Thanks Happy to do business with you, Hope to meet you on the Goldfields some time! P.S. flower gold is tough.

[@Rick_B52]

Great video Shane! Thanks for another awesome upload!

[@Klesh]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jamessaddler4994]

Shane, have enjoyed all of your videos but I think the noise the magnetic stuff makes is the best part!! Am glad I subscribed.✌👍😎

[@scottishgirloutdoors2662]

That sluice box looks amazing. Really nice place and love that you are mindful of digging round the bushes 😎

[@Maximonious]

Yes!! It's fun! A bad day of gold mining is better than a great day at work!!

[@getchasome6230]

Love it. Every one of your videos are gold, man.

[@Klesh]

I appreciate that!

[@frederickbierweiler8020]

great photography on magnetics, I can clearly see how gold can be picked up with the magnet and trapped there by the magnetics .Great idea to do it several times and still pan it out. great video

[@rickreimer1050]

Thanks for another great video Shane. Take care.

[@petelaroche7024]

That was a great video, its not about money its about the great outdoors and doing what you love

[@Leafbinder]

Glad to see ya still healthy Shane, keep Rocking.

[@thegeck9978]

This is the second time for me watching this video. I had to after I went up(for work) and found some nice crush samples of deteriorating quartz that was amazing! It had a lot of pyrite but after a fine crushing, some nice gold. More than I found straight panning.

[@coloradoprospecting1034]

thanks for the incite i'm headed up there this weekend to show a friend what colorado Gold looks like

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Great video catching up on one of My favourite channels really enjoy your videos

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

You two work well together! Very entertaining!

[@Klesh]

Thank you kindly!

[@joeljeffery8704]

I bet you are wishing for some of that cooler air now. It looked like you guys had a pretty good day out there. Your sluice worked great and you found some good gold. Thanks Shane, really enjoyed your video.

[@mikeobrien4437]

Great video as always!

[@rickyuraphotography1801]

I love this place, been getting some pretty chunky stuff myself, Awesome videos !!!!

The magnet is so satisfying! Happy 4th sir! 🇺🇸

[@aaronlane3202]

Man I love your gold videos!!!

[@brianweir9310]

First time commenting on your videos! I'm from just outside Glasgow, Scotland and just watched your videos from over here! They have inspired me to buy some Scottish paydirt. Unbelievable fun 👍

[@Klesh]

Welcome aboard!

[@scottishgirloutdoors2662]

I recommend Goldwise paydirt, it's brilliant 😁

[@robcountryboy4851]

I got extremely lucky on my last bag of paydirt I bought I got a massive flat awesome looking nugget it almost looks like a country or a state I ended up with two guitar picks an awesome autograph which is on everyone but still 😁I got some sort of ancient coin or I think it was an ancient and well over a gram of gold almost close to a gram and a half at least that’s what my scale said really really fun probably I know it was a bonus bag but the most fun I had with a bag of paydirt definitely worth it

[@Klesh]

Cool! Yeah there's lots of "bonus bags" out there! haha i got carried away

[@dropstone84]

Love all your vids keep it up dude

[@Dandan-ef5mh]

Awesome video man!!!! Thanks for your videos!!!!!!

The Magnetic stuff looks so cool and satisfying.

[@Klesh]

It's a lot of fun

[@Nyxain]

Buy some iron or whatever else is magnetic and a magnet and try it yourself :p

[@bobfitch607]

Enjoyed the adventure. I do it for the enjoyment . Enjoyed the paydirt I got from you. Cool coin and guitar pick 👍

Wow what a great spot! Who knew SouthPark's inspiration had such rich ground? Well Kevin did I suppose lol.

[@bobhicks2762]

Got my paydirt order the other day, it was a blast to pan out. Got more than the guaranteed Gold . Thanks Man.

Great to hear!

Love the videos, man! From Newfoundland, Canada

Awesome! Thank you!

Worked Fairplay back in 78-79 averaged a little over 1 1/4 oz.p/m. Sun-up to sun down 5 days a week. Left Feb. 79 got to cold and got tired of breaking ice every morning.

[@cleanerflame439]

Hey klesh love your videos keep it up just order now my second paydirt from you in a week time one is for my father who also follows you for his birthday and we will have a little challenge to see who may get the better back and who does a better job at panning but keep up the great videos klesh

[@MD-NWWI]

Loved the shout out to the flour gold wizards! No offense he is my favorite miner out there on you tube. Mostly because he is relatable to my gold prospecting. Plus he's funny as hell lol! I prospect for fun! For the money I spend prospecting and driving around its impossible to make money in Wisconsin panning gold. I like the shiny bits!

[@FlourgoldWizards]

Im blushing.....😎✌️✅🍻

[@Klesh]

Very cool

[@andrewcastro2601]

I like when there is a close up of all the stones at the end with the high def camera.

[@wandlbaker]

I am really looking forward to you and FGW (Jason) doing a collab. Stay safe.

[@FlourgoldWizards]

Me too !!!!!

[@Klesh]

Good times ahead!

[@gregallen711]

From KC and made it to Fairplay today. Got to pan for a couple hours. Had a blast and found a little shinny stuff

[@aaronlane3202]

We need a magnetic remover compilation!

[@Klesh]

I'll have to do that :)

[@michaelpack7591]

I've been thinking about going up to Fair Play. I joined the Colorado Gold Prospectors and they own a claim up in beaver creek. Just got a Gold Hog steam sluice... we'll see how that works out. Have fun everybody!

[@peterdobbs8007]

You should go back to that spot! Best gold I’ve seen on your channel in your area.

[@Klesh]

Next time!

[@gregj4857]

The old dredges would reject anything bigger than a couple inches including gold. I've heard a few stories about people finding large nuggets just laying on the tailings. Nice video thanks.

[@mahatmadoo2566]

Great place to dig. You can find quite a bit if you move many buckets.

[@Klesh]

For sure

[@dennisjamieson3328]

Hi Shane. It was nice to see you check in at CoinKarma on Wednesday or Thursday. Can’t remember which day. Paul and Snax were pleasantly surprised.

[@Klesh]

Paul and Snax are Legends!

[@GSProspecting]

wow you did great fam. keep digging that spot. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!

[@fishingminnesota5941]

Best area to get started for first time out, taking next 2+ months off backpacking and panning in Colorado

[@Klesh]

nice!

[@brandonjackson1434]

Nice that is a pretty good take for several buckets

[@weepweep2225]

Feel like I’m watching the prospecting version of SteveMRE and I LOVE IT! Keep up the good work brother!

Let's put this out on a pan, Nice

[@starman10548]

WORTH IT. LOOKS LIKE IT WAS A FUN DAY AT FAIRPLAY.

[@Klesh]

Thanks!

[@EclipsaMyrtenaster]

Ngl, his vids are actually entertaining as hell. I'm watching it and I like biology more than mining and geology.

[@navyav8r653]

I'm in Boulder and my company has every bit of dirt that's been coming out of the ground here the past few years and up until now. It's from all the construction going on around town and we have an agreement to collect it all to raise our property level up. I'm 90% sure it all untouched deep earth and Id love to know if it might have gold in.

[@edmc1000]

Get a five gallon bucket of that material and pan it ! Good luck.

[@navyav8r653]

@@edmc1000 I got a truck bed full 8 months ago and found 5g. The Forman told me I couldn't have anymore and to keep my mouth shut.

[@respectanimals2]

Nice gold and a great day out , really enjoyed the vid 👍✌️💀

[@Klesh]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Liedragon]

Klesh, just a thought mate. Have you ever tried getting to the end of a pan and using the magnet on the reverse side of the pan to pull away the black sand . It'd make for a good visual and may help with separating good from bad.

[@anthonybrau7399]

Hey Shane....love your videos! Question for you: When you tap the pan, are you holding the front of the pan down, level, or up? Thanks.

[@Klesh]

Tilt down

Nice gold, i am planning on going to fairplay this spring, If your ever down in New Mexico give me a holler The GPAA claim grayback is a good claim you would enjoy it but its dry there so you have to dry wash or bring water and run recir

[@Klesh]

That sounds like an awesome opportunity for a video for my New Mexico episode!

[@panno16]

Thank you for another great video. What is the acoustic guitar I hear around the 19 minute mark? I've heard it many times, but don't know the artist. Thank you!

[@lankywhiteguy]

He's been on lots of adventures and just hangs out, best dog ever!

[@OldiesGoodies]

Great Video Shane. Surfacton to keep the gold from floating away. I think thats all you had to say for newbies in the hobby and no you may never get rich from panning but like Metal detecting you never know what you come up with. Clearly you could of found a nugget easily if there was one to be found and that would of been sweet. Over all at the end of the day it was a great and enjoyable hunt. HH TC AL

[@flyntstoned9417]

Nice, im going to have to check fairplay out sometime soon, i usually just go to clear creek or swan river. Unrelated but wow is arbor fabricatings shipping price pretty crazy high, definitely made me not do the order i was wanting to. 50$ to ship something ground ... that package better weigh like 35 pounds.

[@Klesh]

Wow that is expensive!
