Gold Prospecting on the North Saskatchewan River

Thanks for watching... In this video I go back to my favourite spot on the NSR, joined by my son, Dave and Jerry

[@AU79Prospecting]

Love it! One of the original channels that inspired me to get started. Keep up the great work!

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

Thanks AJ.

[@rickyrick5586]

Canadian Gold Prospector you allowed to use a 4” Keene dredge highbanker combo around those areas.ive got one collecting dust in my basement.or is there a size limit ?

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

No your not allowed... But I'm interested in it.. Where abouts are you located.. PM your number.

[@rickyrick5586]

Canadian Gold Prospector I’m in ohio .just wondered what the regulations to dredging was in Canada

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

Ya it's a big no no. I wish I could.. would get a crap load of gold I know that...and clean the river at the same time.

[@deadheadprospector]

Good to see you back on the river. Looks like another great trip with the son.

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

Thanks Mason...Few friends and my son building memories...always a great trip. Thanks for watching.

Nice work...maybe not a lot of gold...but the best part about it was the time you were able to spend with your son Zach...you are making life long memories he will never forget. Damn nice looking T-Bone steaks! Enjoy!

[@codymackniak6328]

Steak, beers and the north Saskatchewan river with nice weather, priceless,👍👍 the gold was a bonus, keep up the good work!!!!

[@THEmaggspie]

now theres some truth!!!

[@dennisjamieson3328]

Loved your video. Having been born in Saskatchewan it’s nice to have learned the Northern Saskatchewan River has gold in it.

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

Thanks for the comment.. I don't know if parts of the NSR in Saskatchewan actually have any gold.. Devon to Edmonton AB is where gold is claimed to be the most concentrated.

[@tylertexx9344]

Great video and some decent color, The river is stupid high lately I havnt been out for over a week lol. Next time your out let me know I will come join you.

What angle do you have the mini-- clean up sluice at? I made one. I am still trying to figure out what works best. And, it would be cool if you would show how you get the gold from the mini-sluice to the jar.

Just found your channell this morn. I did a little placer mining on the Red Deer River round Drumheller in the early 80's. My outfit was home made. No internet so resorces were limited. Back then a placer mining licence was required by the Proince, does that still hold true?

Yes it's still true..$50 for 5 years I believe.. Thanks for watching. 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦 CGP

[@TomokosEnterprize]

I learned to swim on the N and S Rivers up by Prince Albert. I had no idea there was good gold to find there. I am over on the Nechako above the Fraser now in BC and do ok now and then. Just imagine with the length of that river just how much gold it holds for us eh. New sub here bud. Neat post fella.

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

Thanks for subscribing, ya lots of gold in the river, just need to get it out.

Hi. What’s the matting you put in your clean up sluice? Where do you get it? Just getting started my self as a hobby. Thanks for great videos. I’m in Edmonton too!

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

Hi Dunk Funk It's just regular "V" matting. You can buy from you local gold shop or from Ebay or Amazon I'm sure. Thanks for watching and commenting, wish you all the best on the river. 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦 CGP

[@JadesAdventures22]

looks good

[@morgansword]

Why no sluice in the colvert? It makes sense that your missing a lot more than you recover by panning

Were do you camp when you sluice the nsr. I live few hrs north was thinking of giving it a try for first time and maybe bringing the camper to stay a few nights

Really nice, pretty informative video... I enjoyed it a lot. I am from Pakistan. I have a question for u. Where I am living right now there is a mountain near by having lot of coal mines, a stream comes through that mountain,is there any chance to get gold from that stream?? One man 15 years ago found a diamond from that stream as well But no one did gold prospecting before like you . Hope fully you will guide me as per your knowledge. Thanks a lot

You would have to Google that river and see the history on it.. grab a pan a try your luck, if your allowed. Thanks for watching. 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦 CGP

[@MIgardener]

I bet if you ran it a 3rd time you could get the 1.5 you were looking for!

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

I'll tell you what ..I'll send you the dirt.. you keep anything you find..but you are right, there is still gold in the bucket(very..very little)... I first learned how to pan flour gold from my friends cons.. if you can pan flour gold, you can pan any gold.

[@SuperGordont]

Just need you some Dream Mats to catch the flour gold and jobs done for ya..Just on the bottom of your Sluice run would be enough and keep whatever Mats you have at the top..Won't be disappointed I can tell you that much

what do you do with that magnetite sand after? how much did you get? I know a guy doing a bloom iron project in Red Deer who could use some! Also, if you are looking for a guy to smelt the gold into bars. id do it free, just for the experience

[@wolfofrhodeislandx7462]

Im definitely not a sluicing pro but it looks like theres a ton of water flow for flour gold.but like i said i have no clue.great vid i love your rig

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

@Chock Wolf Gold Hog matting loves the water.. I'm working on some tweaks for calming the flow down.. I know it's working good right now as 90% of the gold is caught in first 5' of matting,with the 4' extension there is gold down there..but not too much... Its flour gold not the easiest to capture.

Unfortunately....no. Only the fine stuff. Thanks for watching. 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦 CGP

[@rogerschlenger3908]

Nice haul! In the amount of time you spent feeding that thing with a spoon, you could have panned out faster! I always preach, "Pan into another pan"! (Pan the blondes out till down to heavy's. Set heavy's down, re pan blondes, pour that heavy's pan into first pan. Then magnet then finish pan!) Now how much gold do you think you put back into the river because the sluice has to much pitch? Each mat or riffle needs it's own pitch to preform properly!

I get more than that panning for two hours in a creek by my house. Sometimes get close to an ounce in a weekend. Not a hobby for me, more like a 2nd income. I don't see the point if you're not making any money. I would rather be fishing if only getting a gram per trip.

[@SuperDPJR]

@@CanadianGoldProspector I didn't mean to sound critical. I see you putting a lot of work and effort into your set up. Have you tried using a metal detector? It's worked for me on several occasions in the mountains near where I live. I use it to determine where to pan. Sometimes I only use a sifter and find pea size little clinkers. It adds up with the flower gold I get from panning. It's never a sure thing obviously. I get skunked on occasion. Kinda like fishing I suppose, they don't call it "catching" for a reason. Enjoy your time with your son. Mine is in Florida going to college, haven't seen him in a couple years. Hope you find some better gold. it's definitely out there still.
