We have our own gold mine!?

[@moderngoldsmith]

I just happen be a modern goldsmith and I would love to be in part 2. Those nuggets were so satisfying! I’m so impressed by you all.

[@noshoes]

:)

[@missblee1]

Do it!!!

[@Gridlessness]

No Way!! A real Modern Goldsmith!! Don’t feel you need to, it’s just that at this point, you kind of need to:)

[@richardallen9310]

there you go

[@darenpanglao162]

Nice

[@raven4291]

Something worth a lot more than the gold you're mining, is your family bond. It's so heart warming to watch. Love your videos!

[@chloejasper6852]

This was amazing. What a blessed family to have a dad so engaged, so knowledgeable, so ABLE to do so many things! It's all just fabulous. Living the life guys!

[@Springbucks95]

Mate you're probably getting tired of hearing it, but being able to share this adventure with your kids is just the biggest blessing. I lost my daughter when she was 12 months old and I would give anything to be able to do this with her.

[@johnbowen1493]

You always screen wet. You don't care if your screening bucket is full of water or not. Pour water over what you are screening so you wash that flake gold off of larger rocks. Gold clings to those rocks and if you just throw them out you throw out your gold too. Been mining for 50 plus years. Trust me on this. WATER is your friend!

[@letsgobrandon3292]

Absolutely

[@rigel1176]

It could ..... but it breaks also the fingers and minds some times ...😂if you not learn panning in a real good way and technique ... Gold is tricky ... and it needs thousend little tricks to get it ......😉😂

[@johnbowen1493]

Looks to me like you need to turn your water pressure down just a little in your main sluice. If you are moving larger flakes all the way through that mat it's washing too hard. Either slow down the water or decrease the angle some only by 1 degree increments though. Sometimes just a half a degree of slope makes a HUGE difference in what you catch. Also make sure you pan your tailings to check for wash through. If you still have gold in your tailings something is not right in your processing.

[@SuperReznative]

Thanks for sharing tips , I feel I gained so much experience br reading this one comment. Know the one who can take us to streets of gold #JESUS

[@thoughtsfromathenasreality]

I agree. Logical.

[@wekapeka3493]

Thats good advice.

[@jeffmcdonald8076]

I was going to say the same thing if you're getting gold in that bottom mat in significant numbers you are definitely running way too hot.. those dream mats work very well they're really shouldn't be anything maybe a spec or two in that bottom mat

[@justiningram2380]

I thought the same to much water

[@kartherton]

These lucky girls are going to have one hell of a childhood to remember. Thanks to two great parents. Amazing. 👍 Keith. UK 🇬🇧

[@rigel1176]

That is exactly the golden point on it !!! They have a great childhood and wonderful parents ..... Hope they enjoy there time with there still young parents and without any " electr. gadgets" Great show But don't smile to much ..... the critics about the mining part is on the way 😂

[@yelroc71]

This is my 3rd video in a row tonight and I am completely addicted. I'm all in to watch you guys. You have such a great family and look forward to watching your videos. I'm big on wanting to go off grid. Thank you

[@georgebaker1418]

I want this family to know that ya'll have a #1 fan & that's me,I watch ya'll and in my opinion ya'll have the best life of all,meaning that ya'll live in the wilderness and basically living off the land,growing ya'lls own food,hunting the meat that ya'll consume,building the homes ya'll live in,there's nobody around to interrupt ya'lls lives,now ya'll are gold miners,if ya'll were to do nothing but mine the gold for let's say...45 days a year,the extra money y'all would bring in would be awesome,Gridlessness is the #1 KZbin channel of all time for the way y'all live,may the Lord continue to bless you and your family.

[@Gridlessness]

Wow! Thanks for the encouragement.

[@Longtrailside]

I just wanted to say that i REALLY APPREACEATE this channel and everything it represents, and everything that you do. I have been watching for a long time since the girls were little. Its awsome to see their excitement in their eyes when science experiments come to life, or when harvesting an animal. You all are always learning and teachimg not only your family, but others that watch the content that you put out. THANK YOU for putting out quality content for everyone to watch.

[@sheldon26815]

Absolutely. This channel is a part of my family's home school. My girls have real remodels. Proof that we are not alone. And smart, sane people still exists. Who choose God's nature over man's devil den, concrete hell.

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

As a dental lab tech I made several rings from my placer gold. Most jewelry shops will have a book so you can order wax rings to cast rings by the lost wax method. There are a lot to choose from and it's easy. Question: are there any bends in that river? I was a panner and the best areas to find gold is in bends in rivers and streams, THe gold collects in these areas.

[@wesbaumguardner8829]

Yep, downstream side of the inside bend mainly. That's where water loses its velocity and drops the heavies.

[@Dougwituik]

You guys are living the life I dreamed of growing up. Love your channel and the way you are raising your awesome girls. Cheers from Onterrible. Oh PS you have the greatest dog that ever lived, GSDs are the best.

[@jamiemiller8678]

So I just found your channel and I want to say you have a lovely family. You have made a wonderful life for your children and you deserve to be proud

[@kevintulak9987]

You can make your own family heirlooms to pass down to future generations, that is cool creating living history from hard work. Thanks for sharing.

[@gilberttwaterfield6389]

Good for you guys happy to say that you're finding gold and you're having a good time with your family you gotta remember it's not the gold that make you rich it's the quality time that you spend with your family that makes you rich

[@stevemacdaddy9909]

One of your daughters should be able to figure out lost wax casting. I'm really impressed with you guys attitudes and ethics. Much love from Montana.

[@lory2622]

What fun. Your property is wonderful looking. I have to go now, more of your stuff to binge.

[@Reaper32c]

Loved this video. Congratulations on your hardwork and dedication paying off. Coming from a parent who's children are all grown up now. The most valuable thing you created was the memories of the time yall spent together. Awesome to see amazing parents spending time with their children teaching them amazing things and sharing their experiences and knowledge with them. Keep up the amazing work God bless you and your family

[@wuffenanning7550]

Hi, well I work together with a jeweler that do cast single items custom made stuff according instructions and my design ideas. Have a few cut Garnets ranging from red, yellow to mint green that can be mounted - but this workshop do not make any designs themselves. They listen, see sketches and make a wax mold to accept/ reject or modify - then they make the piece. But sure better to make a few of the same to save time a little. Think it is fun way to work, but do not have any customers :) for them. I have a gem cutter in Bangkok that cuts the raw Garnets for me. but in best case - if you have good gem grade roughs at best 7 from 10 stones come out very good, many times inclusions . Lose a lot in weight, but the good ones are super nice - prescission cut and very sparkly.

[@fraxz88]

Great video and wonderful claim. That dream mat seems to work great too! My wife and daughters give up 1 hour in, your lucky!

[@jasonswearingin1009]

You guys are awesome. Love your channel and seeing your family grow. Do have a request. Would love to see an episode where ya'll find iron ore smelt it and make your own tools. Just a thought. Seeing the Enginuity of your kids I bet they will deliver some very clever means for gathering smelting and forging.

[@georgetripp6727]

Dude I love your family. You are doing an awesome job raising them.

[@rastamanralph6670]

I've got a great tool for digging in cobbles. It's a garden tool that has 3 hooks that look like gaffs offset. In fact if you sharpened the ends it would be great. But anyway you just pull it across the stones and it just rakes them out the way of the smaller gravel. I've also got an antique one with five hooks on but it's a bit heavy and big and hasn't got a handle. The other one is perfect. Since I showed it in a video I've seen a few prospectors using them. I'm sure you will be able to make one with a blowtorch and a vice.😉👍💚💛❤

[@quantumbitz3473]

Can’t tell you how satisfying this video was. To be able to watch the process from start to nugget. Won’t say finish as you have great plans for your gold. Just very impressive, I’m getting gold fever just watching!

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

Learning is winning! Just said as you can’t wear the mistakes! Can’t wait to watch the next instalment today! Happy traveling

[@juliebryan2549]

After you go through all this would be easier to pickup with a magnet? Never panned for gold but I wear it. What a great experience and learning process for your girls.

[@billeh3511]

You don't round up dude you round down that way you don't disappoint yourself And everyone else also rounding down is a true measure

[@liamdtraxxas2011]

I'm not a gold miner, but from watching Dan h, Jeff w, gus prospecting, and others I dnt see u test panning, u need to test pan different areas and keep doing small test pans so u know if your still on the gold otherwise your moving dirt for nothing 😉 💯💯👍👍👍 keep going and keep test panning so u knw if your staying on the gold

[@viklund2725]

How wonderful to be able to find and refine your own gold! Next time, maybe you can sort out the black sand and iron with a magnet before melting? The goldsmith will probably mix with a little copper to get a good alloy for your rings and then the total volume will also be a little bigger :) Well done by you.

[@marcisaacs9407]

The wealth is in your beautiful family, priceless

[@Baronstone]

Yeah what you've done there does not purify the gold. It gets rid of some metals, but it does not remove other precious metals like silver and copper. To do that you really have to mix the gold with a bunch of silver. Then you use certain acids to remove the silver and copper, which leaves pure gold. You then put the gold into solution using a combination of acids and the final step is adding a certain substance to the liquid containing your gold which will cause the gold to drop out of solution and leave you with 99.999 fine gold. To get .9999 fine gold you have to use chemical processes to remove everything but the gold

[@greeneyedflower2408]

"I love nuggets!" Me too! You folks are amazing.

[@gilberttwaterfield6389]

I used to make jewellery when I was 16 years old 24 karat gold is too soft so you have to bring it down to 14 or 10 when it comes to rain it's usually 10 carat necklaces you could go between 12 or 14 anything higher it is a risk of where very easy and losing the jewellery you want to restring the gold so that the strength is in the chain The gold that you have might not be 24 karat gold you have to get yourself a gold tester and test the value of the gold nugget you have first and then you could determine afterwards what kind of jewellery you wanna make and then you have to find the proper percentage ratio from gold with silver and if I'm right there's a bit of bronze in it

Thanks for taking us along thru this adventure. That gravel bar seems quite productive, so I assume you checked it out to make sure it was not already under someone's claim. Your equipment is up to date stuff, so this is probably not your first effort . . . I'll check out your other videos. I would guess you were somewhere in western Canada or the Rogue River in Oregon. Thanks for involving your family . . . we need more family activities like that on KZbin.

I know this is a bit late since youve posted but maybe try turning down the water pressure on the riffles. you could be washing out micro gold that would add up

[@jimlancaster6120]

That was great! Hope you get your rings made I think you will have lots of offers to help.

[@danielpeters3760]

That's an awesome family hobby. Take a metal detector to find large nuggets. Heavy gold sinks deeper. Looks like you have plenty there. Get enough to make each of the girls a large bar. It's fun but worth 1800.00 an oz. Put it up for the girls. Easy savings. Hope y'all find a ton.

[@tommatheson5855]

My Dad was a dentist. He took mouth impressions, carved crowns, and centrifuge cast them out of gold. I wish he was still around as I need a refresher course. I think your girls should make their own rings. Would be so much more meaningful for them to see the whole precess.... what a keepsake for their whole lives!

[@Hawkido]

That is a pretty good patch of ground. What are the regs about running a 4 inch dredge in that area. That would be what I recommend. I know the water is cold, but that is what a wet suit and a heater coil is for (dredging is usually too abrasive for a dry suit, you'll wear a hole in the suit pretty quick). As to setting up a 2-tier sluice box, on the first clean out run both the upper and lower mats. if you are getting a lot of color on the lower mat then you are either running too much water or your angle is too steep for your material. There is a balance between water flow and angle and the quality of your gold and "leaverite" (leave'r right there cause it ain't worth nuthin'). Dense fine leaverite means you need more flow, larger dense pebbles need steeper angle to clear the sluice, but finer flakey style gold can wash too far down. Your color seems to be a consistent size, all of it in the sub-picker size, so tuning your sluice shouldn't be that difficult. Also your lower tier sluice looks to have an almost identical slope. You typically want them a few degrees different, so they filter through the material at different speed and force. With them both the same if the first one misses the gold then the second one will most likely also miss the gold.

[@eldredrahko6881]

You cant use dredges in BC

[@Hawkido]

@@eldredrahko6881 Thanks, that's why I asked. New to this channel. Still that is good color, they said only the top few inches are paydirt, so that would mean each year with the thaw the paydirt gets renewed. nice patch, great place to teach the kids to love that yellow!

[@raymondcoggins297]

Looking like you guys had fun great gold

[@peterlennart9062]

Lucky you to have your own source of precious metals! Starting with silver and gold smithing is not that difficult really. There are quite a lot of instructive videos on YT to learn from, and the tools to begin with are basically smaller standard tools like pliers, files, a smallish hammer, a smallish soft head hammer, and a small soldering flame like the one you used for smelting. So why not try your hands at that trade, y'all are practical enough to do it. You don't need the fanciest stuff from start. The important thing is creaativity and you have shown that you have that too.
