My best friend lived in Colorado, and when we would visit him and I would go out a couple of times during our visit, either panning or metal detecting. We would be gone all day long. I am now 70 years old and missed getting out to pan detecting. Unfortunately, my friend passed away a few years passed and I missed doing that activity with him. When I watched the video of your adventures, it made me miss him more. I still have the gold that we pan on my shelf in my man cave and pictures of our trip. So please keep making your videos and enjoy all of your time in nature and with your friends and family. Thanks for bringing back all of my memories of me and my friend.

I’ve bought a few bags from you and have not even been close to disappointed! I’m almost 54 and a novice prospector as well as an aspiring guitarist so the last purchase was awesome!! Not only did I get more experience with panning, but I got a bonus guitar pick! Two for one 😎. Thanks a bunch for what you do and I look forward to learning more 🤘

Great video. Thank you for the hot tip about the books for finding gold. The biggest hump for not getting out is not knowing where to go or where to look. Showcasing the book while actually panning one of its locations truly helps break down that barrier... Thanks!! ⚡⚡

My bestfriend lived back there before they built 58th ave. We called it Tarzan's. Everyone would build bike trails, jumps etc. We even had a halfpipe in the ground. Then when I was 12 at a family reunion at Prospect park/A-Bar I discovered prospecting. Witch we started prospecting Ralston creek 30yrs ago. Thanks for the video man brought back some good memories.

Hi Shane .. Glad to see you out there making new videos for the new gold season here.. I'm so glad that winter is mostly over and we're moving into warmer weather but this is Colorado so it can change and the water in the creeks still running cold this time of year ... Lanky White Guy did a couple of videos just up stream probably about a 100 yards or so and he found about what you did in this video... Well I'll be looking forward to more videos in the future and still hoping to get to see you out on a creek someday until then ... God Bless and be Safe 👍👍 Don E. In Denver

I got my first paydirt over the pandemic because of Shane's videos; it was fun. I didn't know what to do with the gold I got, and after appreciating it for a week, I tried to sell it to the pawn shop down the street, they basically wanted to pay scam prices for it, and I actually ended up messaging Shane and selling it to him for a fair price. Even though I live in California, going out and prospecting myself is possible, but have never done it. Seems like a nice peaceful time and even better when you find your first piece of gold yourself.

Klesh just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos! I am very new to this hobby. I still have yet to find my first flake of gold! I tried a few times but nothing :( Maine is not known for alot of gold. But im not giving up. Im going to buy a bag of pay dirt off you. Its a breath of fresh air knowing I wont get ripped off. I even tried crushing some quarts that looked interesting. I paned it and all I got was mica. I have somthing in common with. I play the guitar and I used to make them. I made a total of ten acoustic guitars four parlor guitars and six dreadnoughts. That was 20 years ago. Im almost 70 now. I see that nice acoustic hanging on your wall looks nice! Those nuggets for sale look nice. Keep up the great videos! Mark.

Remember there is always more gold above ground than in the ground!! Gold panning is a fun hobby and nothing you get rich from!! Greetings from Sweden!!
@PHUCKyoutube6898 ай бұрын
Panning is prospecting, you don't get rich prospecting, you mke your money extracting the gold and that is called mining. You use the pan to locate the load in the ground and that can make you wealthy if you know how to navigate the regulations, have the skill and equipment. Most prospectors locate a load and claim it. Then you lease it out to miners for a percent.
