Gold Prospecting On The North Saskatchewan River... River of Gold 2021

This trip out, my son and I rafted from Devon Alberta down the North Saskatchewan River to our campsite...What should of been a 3-4 hr trip...turned out to be a 6 hr trip with all the stops... We found gold at every stop, some better than others.. Hope you enjoy!

@@CanadianGoldProspector I got 2 nice tents the company seen me use their products so they upgraded me to a massive 5 man tent and medium stove. Isn’t the season pretty much over, I’m sure the there must be snow by now.

[@bobhope9549]

really enjoyed floating down the river with you, leave the young un alone, he followed the golden rule, be seen, not heard, loved the idea of marking the best spots , by a previous prospector, hope to have more journeys on the river with you. soon, i hope.....

[@frankbyrd9345]

That's some good looking area ... much like where I work on Washinton states part of the snake river and the Columbia river ... very fine gold ... It's there ... Finding those really rich paystreaks can be a challenge ... I am finding most of mine in the ancient streambed that is above and sometimes up to a half a mile from the now existing river ... most of them around a quarter mile from the wet zone ... they can be very rich by modern standards 2-3 grams gold per 5 gallon bucket ... this stuff is very fine ( like yours ) down to 200-300 mesh

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

Wow.. 2-3grams per 5 gallon bucket... that would be enough to quit my day job..lol Thanks for watching...look forward to future comments. 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦 CGP

[@mrhempeddy]

that's 2.7 troy oz per 100 yards, pretty great area!!

[@alancadieux2984]

I went last fall to smith, & tried the very same in the Athabasca river, got about the same result. Overall from what i found, i wouldn't bother going back, looking forward to trying the north sask this summer coming up.

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

Yes..NSR is much better. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦 CGP

[@doomerify]

i hope next year ill be able to get out and do some prospecting and build my own little plant to go and have fun. looking around the pembina river area towards drayton, lodgepole, and tomahawk area. anyone been out that way and found some interesting spots? looks like decent panning country to me.

I found a lot of gold every pan at prospector point down at the end on the outside bend. You can even get gold right out of the sand from all the high bankers blowing through gold.

i love that hobby sir. But by using gold metal detector. If i could succesfully to come there i will look for you.

[@ppjt6018]

All the gold sitting on the bedrock..not in the mud....disappointing panning first 10 minutes... have hit the like button, In the 1980's knew a pizza delivery guy,panning that river in the middle of Edmonton under a bridge.Always there on the weekends and after work. He was getting 1/2 oz of flakes a week,Would pan 20 weeks/collect pogie and then spend his winters in Mexico.

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

Thanks for the reply...but there are no flakes in the NSR

[@alistairclark6814]

There is more than just dust in that river though. I found a nice coarse peice down near Two Hills, it's in my shorts on my channel.

Easy money 😆 my brother and I panned for the whole summer every few weeks for 3 to 6 hours and pulled maybe a 1$ of gold out so far.
