Gold prospecting Piethorne Brook - Lancashire

[@glendadalejones3753]

You know,your channel should be much bigger. The style,layout,picture quality and drone clips are truly outstanding! KZbin- do you hear me 👂?🤞🏻🤞🏻 Oh,I might try Ardennes and manuka - that sounds interesting.i have mini wraps and manuka,I just need the pate 😃 Outstanding video mr dasp1!! P.s-and really helpful geology information for us. So,we get to learn aswel.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Glenda, I can't thank you enough for the comments you have made and I truly appreciate them.........The problem with trying to offer so many different interests under one channel is that it isn't good for the viewer who wants to subscribe for one particular subject. It's all a bit of fun for me at the end of the day and a place to share the experience or knowledge with other people. I don't even claim a penny from all the adverts you have to get through either from my channel. I hate to use the cliche' but we spend a long time dead and I am a big believer in making the world turn around each day for a reason and with some purpose. Take care and stay healthy Glenda.

[@glendadalejones3753]

MrDazP1 you are an easy going guy. You do what you love ,it’s all excellent,high quality uploads anyway...you’ve got fantastic equipment and you can see that ! For all the time and effort you out in uploading here,I’m surprised you don’t claim for your ads...they are very lucrative dasp,you do know that,don’t you? Please claim,what is rightfully yours,there’s nothing wrong in it,you’ve put hours into it and equipment isn’t cheap either...It’s not wrong to dasp. You do deserve it. These ads can earn upto a few grand a year you know. I love your outlook on life ! No matter what the circumstances are in life,each and everyone of us lives with a purpose,whether we realise it or not. Very wise words dasp. Keep on doing what you love .i don’t always watch your other videos,barely but I’m always here to support your prospecting ,as it’s a lifelong love of mine,and I love learning about it . Same to you,stay happy and healthy 🙏🏻👍

If you think about it, those grits are from eroded mountains, the presence of quartz suggests they were mineralised, so some gold is likely to have been washed down into those deltas.

I was looking at maps of what they think it was like during the ice age in Britain and where the ice cover was seems to correlate (very loosely!) with where the most gold is, Wales and Scotland.

[@philmcglass450]

Looks like Flourite that little crystal you found, not sure if its the camera or if it has a slight pink hue, if it is Flourite a UV light source will make it fluoresce, its very commonly found around lead deposits and lead mines. Not surprising really considering there are a few old lead mines around the pennines, the hard bit is determining if its a glacial deposit or from the local host rock. Thanks for the upload.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Phil. It won't crush that's for sure and I found it on the moorland section. I have ruled out any contaminated equipment too because I used everything on the lower stream for about 3 hours and found nothing worth while. It is really small also the photos are with a macro setting. If it is gold I suspect it's from elsewhere and not local although if at one time in the past this place was a huge delta depositing sand, grit and silts there could be a chance of the sedimentary layers trapping fine gold.

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

At 15:30, yes that is odd-looking bedrock. There was a lot of geological chaos in the past so lots of chunks of land must have been thrown around by icebergs etc.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Around here there was an uplifting of the sedimentary layers. The limestone in the Yorkshire Dales is on the top layer because the ice sheets removed the Grit stone.

I'd imagine someone with your ingenuity, skill and endeavour could find some right treasures, albeit the Thames being a bit too far but there must other rivers with bounty to be had.

What's interesting about the online reports and one in a recently-published book on where to find gold in the UK, is that the quote about the Victorians is always the same, word for word. That tells me that the quote had one single source. Single source quotes make me suspicious. IF there was gold there, then you'd get several different sources, and likely evidence of a minor gold-rush. You know as well as I do how difficult it is to get rid of all trace of gold. The speck you found; probably transported there by a glacier from some eroded-outcrop of auriferous rock. But does Piethorne have gold in the area? I'd say not. It might be a story that someone's made up, or a leg-pull.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Well put there Dan, I couldn't have explained it any better, and if I did it would have come out wrong lol. I think that any gold found here will be from one of the ice sheets and travelled south on the journey. There are irratics all over these moors and interestingly, not too far from here, Igneous rock deposits probably from the lake District have been found. I have researched a place not a million miles from here too, but nearer to Derbyshire where there could be potential for gold. It might be found within the Pyrite though. I need to look on the old maps and see where a good water course is to propsect.

@@jonojones78 You might want to look for a sluice with the dream mat set up. Thanks for the reply pal. I saw a few guys at the river having a camp fire but wasn't sure if they were panning.

cheers daz go up there on the bike regular never knew it was called rapes highway

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Rapes Hill is after the reservoir I filmed and then loops back around onto the Pennine way eventually bringing you to the Windy Hill transmitter. There are some cracking MTB trails all around there

[@ScotlandsGold]

Good one daz🍻

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks 👍. It's a fine balance making a video about gold panning and finding the best part of nothing. It's great to cross things off the list I guess but people want to see colour in the pan. The challenge is to edit it and keep the video moving along nicely. I still can't go to Scotland or Wales yet either !

[@ScotlandsGold]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures even though you told me in a previous conversation you had no results I really enjoyed the hunt. knowing that feeling that the next pan slightly deeper could be the one that leads the way to your own private spot.

[@adamczarnecki4982]

Try Sykes Quarry in Trough of Bowland.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I think the monks mined for lead around there Adam. Have you tried it your self with a few pans prospecting the area.

[@adamczarnecki4982]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures not tried. There is an old mine there. Copper, lead, fluorite and silica. Some silver found. A stream there as well. It’s an exposed section of the Chatburn Limestone. Lots of other potential locations in The Trough.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I have an old report from this area where there was a mines royal lease for about 20 odd years. Thanks for the heads up. I cycled passed here two weeks ago. It's like a mini version of the Mennock

Read this BGS report. The potential for gold mineralisation in the British Permian and Triassic red beds and their contacts with underlying rock.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It's a place worth panning in the local rivers for sure , thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@islefile6214]

Really enjoy your vids!!! They are so motivating! :-D By the way, I like your matting sluice. What make is it? I am using a Caledonian mini but yours looks much better! :-D

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks for the feedback IsleFile. The sluice is a Ruthless mining one but I don't think they are available at the moment. The Caledonian sluice has a nice top mat and feed zone but all sluices have their losses. All the best my friend.

I have been prospecting a few weeks ago

Great stuff Prospector Rodders. How did you get on ?

Set the reminder 😆

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I have a road cycling video coming very soon Sophie. It's a bit different where I'm chatting and riding a bit more but a few viewers have shown an interest in the cycling recently.

I live in China for work mate so won’t be any time soon! 😂

I'm no comedian Roena, but you need as sense of humour no matter what your passion is, and if you want to have a KZbin channel that thousands of people watch, you need to be able to smile if things go well or things go not so well.

If there no black mineral sand there is no gold P KINSEY

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

We are looking for the heavy particles that will drop out of the flow such as black sand. Some rivers may not have black sands but have other heavies won't be black. These are indicators that you could be on the right line. When it's really good you hit a pay streak where there will be gold, lead, iron and, hematite and all kinds of things settling out. On this trip the general material was broken down sands and grits from the local geology with the odd bits of lead.
