[@dessexjones4625]

Great vids Daz, just starting out myself so your content has been amazing for getting familiar. Had a couple of hours in North Wales last week and got about 10 specks so made up to have my first pieces but now I want MORE! Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures this year. Going to head over to where I think you are in this vid soon so appreciate any hints and tips for this river.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello DE....and thank you for your comments. It's a great hobby I'm sure you will agree and one that you will always be researching and trying to learn about every aspect of it. I like this river because of the Mudstone which has very fine fissures and cracks in it. The gold seems to be hidden there rather than in the gravels. The line the heavier materials takes down the river is also a very fine one. It seems to hug the sides more. Let us know how you get with your future trips out pal. Regards MrDazP1

[@rogermowery3048]

Glad you got a chance to get out. I always enjoy your videos be it working snowy cold streams in Ireland or Scotland or Bicycling through the rain down mountain roads. Still remember the one where you found the box of tacks with your tires! lol Stay safe, see you soon I hope. Best Regards, Roger

[@dmtstuff]

As you say, even if all you find is one speck - it's special. People getting into the hobby in this country from a monetary perspective are in it for the wrong reasons. There's a lot more to it than the gold that makes it an enjoyable hobby. The makeup of that river is awesome mate. Cracking video, keep em coming. DT

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers DT, this river is normally so much wider and more flowing on the occasions I have visited it and I was gob smacked by how beautiful it looked. But yes I totally agree with your sentiments and I get the feeling there are quite few people in the UK who are keen to give it a go. I still believe that making these videos should offer them a realistic account of what to expect and what other aspects of the great outdoors it offers. That video with you doing an intro half way up Glencoe with the backdrop is still a sight for sore eyes pal........was that this year ?

[@stevegould2078]

Great vid thanks for the tips and hints just started panning myself so any help and advice is greatly received

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Steve, it's a great hobby, look for the tightly compacted river gravels in the bedrock crevices. Clear them with a crowbar and pan the heavy concentrates out. Check the gravels behind large boulders too. Also do test pans across gravel bars on the inside bend. The gold will travel in a line down the river. That's the gold line and potential pay streak . It's just a case of finding where the gold line is. There's lots to learn and all the best of luck pal.

[@stevegould2078]

Thanks again MrDazP1 yeah loads to learn watched loads of your vids can honestly say you have been a big help could you recommend any where to try first please I live near Preston lancs cheers Mr DazP1 steve

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

You can get permits from the Leadhills estate and at the Wanlockhead estate which is about 2 hours up the M6 / M74 Steve. I would also just get into it by trying local streams, if you know what I mean, and practice your skills. Trying to find black sands or lead shot etc.

Hello David. The Black sands are a good sign in general terms and also mean that you are able to pan fine heavies. I am yet to get to Nenthead but that location should have a lot of potential.

Great. I'm going to have to get back up there when I can. I've had about a dozen days panning in the Aire valley since lockdown & I haven't found a sausage! Going to try the Wharfe again tomorrow, as at least I know there's a bit of the shiny stuff there! 😀

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Phil, I know the Aire valley quite well from my cycling jaunts and the same with the Wharfe. I can't remember who told me to try the high ground near the Cow & calf near Ilkley but that will feed into the Wharfe. What's the geology like down there ?, is it Limestone or has the mud stone emerged.

[@philbrotherton5720]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures It was me who mentioned the Cow & Calf. I live on the other side of the moor near Keighley & I've been panning most of the streams that flow off the moor & into the Aire. The moor is gritstone, but the composition of the gritstone is different throughout the moor. The stream that I've found a few specks in is below an area where the grit is absolutely full of small quartz crystals. There is more gold in the Wharfe, but it probably originates from the old mines further upstream. If you ever get to Grassington, the folk museum has a specimen jar full of locally found gold!!!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks Steven. I read somewhere in a thread on line that people had found traces (specs) of gold in Brighouse. I did think about trying the river Calder near Mytholmroyd when they dredged it but it is in full public view. Get your self a pan and give it a go buddy.

[@bruceybrew]

I live in Halifax aswell not tried the Calder yet though. I used to go to school in rossendale I bet there is some good spots there. Great vid mate btw

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

You never know what might be in the Calder

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Lewis, the local geology in our neck of the Pennines doesn't contain gold in the native rock. There will be lead and the silver associated with it in some areas. The likelihood of gold being found in West Yorkshire may well come from glacial deposition from one of the many ice ages, which take place approximately every 100,000 years. They do say that there could be gold in every river but when you go to a gold bearing river it is literally visible in every pan. North Wales, southern Scotland, Tyndrum, Montrose and Baile an Or definitely have gold in abundance amongst many other locations.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

That is a good question. I would say a great day out is well over a gram maybe 2 or 3 grams and you are on to something epic. Typically 0.5g to 1.0g is good but don't be surprised if you find 0.1g some days. Personally I'm not bothered so long as I have a great out. You might meet other prospectors who find lots more but when you film and try to tell the story you are always losing valuable time sluicing. I never hit the ground running either from the crack of dawn until the end of the day ( It's just so hard work )

I would try any local stream and where ever possible seek permission, but that can be a difficult task at times. I would also recommend practicing with a few fishing weights and sand to see if you can consistently catch them in the pan.

I think i've asked you this before but i can't find the comment, if you found a big lump of gold in a river, what's the law regarding possession or reward ?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I would probably photograph it and put it back in the water. Metal detecting finds have associated law with certain artifacts and the age of them where you have to declare them. It's a good question because if you found a nice nugget in Scotland having payed for a permit then I don't see why you couldn't keep it.

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

You are not too far from potential spots there, I can't confirm this because I haven't checked the places out myself. If the gold is not in the river gravels from the river it's self it might be in the bedrock cracks which will need to be opened up to get the tightly packed dirt out of. You could try around the back of Saddle back too. More equipment means a bigger bag ! good on ya.

[@Isagorn1]

Do what i do get hold of the Brochure from British geological suveys (Keyworth Notts) and get the geological map north and south. Look up on the maps ordovician rock and anywhere a river crosses go in and pan. Ive yet not to find gold.

[@Isagorn1]

That crap about a gold line came about by a "writer" on gold making stuff up. If you read on he asks that a millionaire reduce a kilo of gold to golddust and chuck it in a river.Plus he believed that golddust in rivers accumulated and became nuggets!!!!!!

How do you get permission to start panning in say the river your on? I’m trying to get my head around it all I want to start panning my self but having a hard time just finding out who to talk to about getting permission help!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I just went for a walk along the foot path, found a nice spot to have my picnic and did a bit of panning. I would not go fishing there and further down stream it clearly says private fishing and private access - even for canoes. I know if you go metal detecting you need to seek permission from the farmer though. It's a bit of a grey area.

[@hunt8880]

MrDazP1 so to be clear do I need permission to pan in rivers ? Sorry I’m very new to it all.

[@pug2322]

MrDazP1 we all know the score, and I bet you’ve been told to pack up and ship out a few times! The richer the land owner the tighter they are. Trespass is a civil issue and wide open for doing this and playing dumb when questioned, policing it is way out of the question so just do it until your told not too!

Is Carnon Downs the place to try near Truro. The biggest nugget in England was found there I think. I would also try to find some reports on line from The British Geological society where they may give you confirmed gold occurrences in panned concentrates. Other than that look for the bedrock on the inside of a bend and keep working the gravels until you get to the very bottom . The gold line could be inches wide too. So test pans are key.

Hi, I would risk a theory that this gold comes from some small local mineralisation and wasn't brought here from Scotland by ice shield. These specs do not look like there were traveling long distances moved by ice and water. They are too raw to me.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

The source is very very near and there are mineralised veins crossing the river Gregory. It is frequently replenishing it's self with new deposits.
