I Found a PLATINUM Nugget While Sniping For Gold!

[@BigDadGigaCHAD]

My son now thinks you steal the gold after that comment about being a good person and putting it back and then saying just kidding. I told him you were a friendly and funny thief. I'll explain to him before bed you're not a thief but am kinda getting a kick outta it now, He now thinks you're streaking Dan hurds gold. I'm an afful father

[@TurnUpForTheLord]

This is hilarious. Love that you’re making great memories with your son

[@scrappydoo7887]

That'll be something that you look bad on and smile together 🙂

Show him the chase video. Dan racing after running pauly on the quad.

😆BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA😅

[@PlasmaChannel]

This was a fun one Pauly! Also, love the editing style. I know the work that goes into it, but man the finished product looks seamless. Nice work

[@PioneerPauly]

Thank you!! These sniping videos are so much more fun to edit which I think helps me zip through them 😁

[@Everything.On.Wheels519]

I definitely enjoy the underwater sniping videos!

Came to make this my comment, gave you a like instead!

Just amazing 🤠. Living the dream fam. Keep on having fun getting that au. Great job all around fam. Gold Squad Out!!!

[@JoJoAcrylicArtwork]

I love your sniping vids, tbh I love all your vids. I gotta say the underwater sniping sounds and visuals are really relaxing for me, helps with anxiety and feeds a little of my inner gold fever soul too ;) I think this vid has edited out some of the more underwater footage of you searching and sniping than you used to, be good to add some more of those bits back in. but I understand you probably have maaaany, tastes to cater for. so no presh :D

[@steveblevins9018]

That's totally funny you wrote this. It is really therapeutic to watch these type of vids for me too. Paulys' dad joke humor makes it that much better.

[@JamesWestAZ]

Love seeing you out sniping Pauly. And I may be wrong, but it seems like you find just as much as someone panning. And it looks like a whole lot less work involved. Now I know you have to fight the current a lot of times, and move rocks around, plus being in the cold water........... But I'd think that beats digging up the dirt and rocks, then hauling it to the water, swirling it around, etc, etc........ Just my thoughts, and I guess a vote for sniping. :)

[@Swingin_wit_Willy]

Thanks for adding the clip of you dropping that ironstone on your foot... I cringed and even felt your pain. Done that before and damn it sucks. Nice sniping effort mate, well done finding some native platinum 👏 Good Luck & Happy Sniping

[@seantiz]

What a cool find. Sniping videos rule all.

[@richardwoody9928]

Good to see you sniping again, these are my favorite videos

[@frickdom]

Love your new review video, but these ones are truly my favorites. Understand they aren’t easy and you can’t do them year round. Keep up the great work and thank you for the solid entertainment. Please tell Dan I said Hi.

[@idiggold]

Love the Bering St sign. Great work yet again Mr Pauly

[@rawkinj6609]

You sir are a nut in the nicest sens of the term and i'm loving every minute of it, cause i'm a bit nutty myself! Gotta get into sniping cause my panning arm has been replaced by a metal detector for the last 2 months! Enjoy it very much too! Cheers from Montreal PP! ;|)

Hi Pauly, i saw your Cajun treat the crawdad jump out at 6:33. Be sure and keep it too. They are tasty as shrimp to eat. Any who keep it interesting friend, i enjoy watching all your adventures wish i could do it also. Stay safe.

[@mattbyrne1822]

The rock drop on the foot was hilarious 😂 keep up the great work

[@fit_pharmd4830]

You, Dan Hurd, and Vogus are imo the top 3 best gold prospecting channels in the solar system. Even better than the channels on Jupiter and Mars!

[@Greysonsgrandma]

I love the way you say bloop everytime you open the snuffer to drop the gold 😂

[@jamesroseii]

Dude, that hunk of rock bouncing off your foot made me wince then laugh!! 😂 I bet that hurt!!

[@RICDirector]

Probably hurt for a week. Not speaking from experience or anything....lol....😜🤣

[@simonjdouglass1978]

The rock to the foot. I felt that.

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

Pauli you are the river nugget king. BTW are those your natural incisors? You can definitely destroy some beef jerky.

[@matthewbooth9265]

Today I learned that you can find nuggets of platinum which i think is pretty awesome. I appreciate you dropping the iron stone on your foot for our amusement, I was amused so it worked:)

[@jfk64kennedy95]

worked for a stone mason for 2 yrs, yah, surprising how sharp a broken rock can be, now 35+ yrs later, still have the scars on my hands, fingers at 3:00 when you clearing the spot where you going to tacking overburden, that curved rock formation pretty cool

[@andrewmaurus4061]

Love your channel and the creativity of your editing 💯 , I noticed you go through wetsuit gloves pretty fast and was wondering if you've ever seen those gardening gloves with the claws on them? I bet you could have some custom made to be more durable and fit over the wetsuit gloves 🤔👍🤘 just a thought , keep up the great work and best of luck finding big candy 🪙⛏️

[@scruggsbuster9458]

I really like watching your videos they're fun I love to watch the gold and when I do it I use a ping pong paddle to move the dirt so it could stop getting a holes in my gloves really quick the ping pong paddle seems to work fine but I enjoy watching your videos I like the underwater videos they're fun and you get a lot of gold keep up the good work Polly

[@bloodyeyeful]

I love the sniping videos Paulie. Thank you. Blessings all.

[@laggingdragons]

Watching this vampire snorkel mountain rivers for a living makes me really want to go out and start homesteading in the mountains 😸

[@chrisundertaking]

Some crazy gold throughout that spot 😮

[@johnnyboy3383]

Amazing how you can just pick gold like that so freely . lucky guy much love !

[@thomashammett6851]

Nice job Pauly. Keep up the good times and the good content.

[@davidkelly1298]

Your sniping videos are great. I could watch them all day.

[@ghostofjoseywales1983]

Another great vid Pauly

[@dawndixon402]

😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻 You bring such joy watching your videos. That I'm extremely glad you're putting out more content lately.

[@carriehanifen3434]

Not too bad at all, love your videos love ya ❤️😃👍

[@jakeburry15]

Look at the candy. Wow Paul. Never seen platinum in the wild.

[@KLAUSKARES]

You and Dan are the only reason to use KZbin.Pls make longer videos!!Please

[@stevefox2224]

That’s awesome, I had no idea you could find platinum sniping.

[@captureyouradventures]

Platinum interesting are there any for sure ways to tell when something is platinum or not? And awesome video

[@alquimiavsmetalica5250]

If you don't need to dive the snorkel, I recommend the 360° mask and a trekin shoe since the neoprene of the boot is sensitive to breakage. Translated from Spanish to English

[@md2perpe]

As you said, gold is 19.3 times heavier than water. Ordinary stone is about 2.6 times heavier than water. This means that gold is 19.3/2.6 = 7.4 times heavier than ordinary stone. But in water Archimedes' principle is important. Because of it, in water, gold is effectively (19.3-1)/(2.6-1) = 11.4 times heavier than ordinary stone. That's one reason it's better to pan in water than in air.

[@ryant5772]

Watching your diving videos is a dream im not able to dive ever so watching you get under water candy is a beautiful thing

[@mikeford963]

Al lot what he's doing is snorkelling. Unless he gets into deep water anyway

[@JoKayS]

Your wild and I enjoy watching your videos. Stay safe 🙏

[@bkgold9968]

Really awesome watching how you get the gold. I have nowhere to prospect where i live. Florida is beautiful but no gold

[@billdgen116]

I finally got to see it wahoo thank you for sharing. Be safe 🙏

[@shaunmaloney7733]

Hell yeah Pauly! You rock! 🤘💙🤘

[@michealklonowski5267]

yep nice gold i hope you are right about it being platinum that would be amazing.

[@1catfishuntermiller753]

Hiya Pauly, awesome video as usual. And funny too! I hope you have a awesome blessed day. Cya! 😺🐟 out!

[@steveblevins9018]

Ironstone foot drop was hysterical.

[@ArticAkita2830]

You wern't kidding about how sharp shale is, You need some new gloves! Fun fact: before settlers came in to Alaska and Antartica the inuit and the other eskimo tribes made their knives the ulu from chipped slabs of shale and either wood, bone, or, ivory to serve for the handle! They discovered the metal brass and iron by trading with the very cold white man for warm furs!! I guess they were very excited about metal so they could stop getting cut up making their knives from shale!! 😂 awsome knives though, loved your video!!

[@michaelavery848]

Awesome video Pauly. Very upbeat. Found you visiting Dan Hurd Chanel

[@hasmeadali7316]

Hello sunshine. I'm happy to see you back in the water. Vampire sniper and all. God bless you and yours y

[@laurencejohnson7658]

Fascinating videos, Pauly. It wiould help if you took some time to learn your rock types. That is not shale but more like metasediments cut with numerous quartz and calcite veins. The gold would be associated with the quartz and even some of the metasediments. And platinum is usually associated with gold - and forms amalgams with it.

[@rattlesnakeprospecting875]

Go buy a boogie board fin for your leg arm!! Short but effective!!👍🐍

[@josephmoodie4970]

I was wondering the same thing because I find a good amount of it every time I go panning. Mosley it’s thin leaf flake. I need to separate it from the gold, because I also thought it was mercury covered gold. It also dose not act like gold does in water.

[@xvixenx7647]

Id love a video to see your gold collection ✨️

[@Jimmy-ge6mq]

Do you keep a spotter for bears? I've lived in Alaska all my life and never actually gone and looked for gold but your videos kind of motivate me to give it a shot. But man, gold country here is bear country!

[@dr4x388]

you could do a specific gravity test on the Pt piece to check its density (and therefore see if its close to gold or platinum)

[@dustinyoung4681]

Love watching your diving videos

[@Iron_Owlz]

What was that thing that started walking at 6:40? It was chilling there for awhile before it decided it had enough Pauly time.

[@shaneman0962]

A underwater scooters will help you push those loose rocks off the bedrock so it will be like a underwater fan for you so you can see the gold more better

[@bluebird2472]

I really like your snipping videos. Please do more.

[@markusadolf3815]

Very nice enjoy watching you find all that gold. Now do you sell that gold in paydirt by chance.

[@ATA_Midas]

Pauly! I know this is an old video but you should look into the Lung tank! It gives 10 minutes of air underwater and is great for sniping! It's affordable too

[@freejojoey530]

Shout out to all the caddis fly larvae trying to escape Pauly's tornadoes 😂

[@RICDirector]

I always wonder if he checks for fish spawning areas--fish eggs and fry-- and avoids them; it would really suck if not!

Yes yes yes more sniping videos mr.pauly

[@johnjacobs1625]

Nice Job Pauly!! Cheers JJ

[@alphahuskyy]

hey man! gotta love your videos! just a question! why dont you use a pin-pointer underwater while sniping, or is it not working? :) much love from Norway!

[@RLuna70]

Wow pauly your good at snipping keep making theses videos but please make theses videos much longer it looks really fun doing what your doing I wish I can do it but here in south texas just nothing but flacky gold

[@AlexDuWaldt]

Here's a way you can test whether or not that piece is Pt or not. Heat it up until it's red hot (don't worry about melting, if it melts easily it's definitely not Pt.) Then watch how quickly it cools. Pt will cool extremely quickly when compared with most other metals. That being said the piece is very small, so maybe this wouldn't be the easiest way to test. Now that I'm thinking about it Mercury is supposed to have a very very low melting point, so your test with the torch there should confirm that it isn't just mercury amalgam.

Hey Paully if you really want to know if it is Platinum.Get a small bottle of muriatic acid same stuff they use in swimming pools.Get asmall glass jar and put in a ounce or two.It is very mild acid but plat.will turn the acid purple.Simple way to be sure. Give it some time.

[@buscandooroartesanalmentes3823]

excellent video friend I hope to have a great channel like yours you are my hero🥰

[@garyroenicke2102]

That creek is loaded with gold, much more than where I snipe in the Mother Lode of N California. Also 50%, way too high. You do all the work, 25% is more like it.
