I Found The Mother Lode! | Southern Oregon Gold Prospecting

[@OutsideHuman]

The Blood to Gold ratio is high these days 😁👍

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I'd trade a pint for a nugget haha

[@martin2560]

Yup. I started panning myself. After working for years for 500$ a week toiling in labor jobs. Hostile management. Just to pay rent and live. Now I make at least $500 a week, enjoy life again. Though I live out of the back of my truck lol. I'm finally banking money instead of paying it all out to live. I'll have a brand new RV paid for this year. Happy hunting.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

That's awesome man, your living the dream! :)

[@arrowheadlee]

You're killing it !! I'd probably look like a kid that got to walk into a candy store if I could get those pans.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Hahahah, my first really good in this area had me making the goofiest noises lol, I looked up to see a raft full of people watching me 🤣 learned to stay quiet after that hahah

[@mainstreammining5839]

I love southern Oregon so much gold to be found... good video sir!

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you :) it's such beautiful country, and way more gold than I was expecting

[@jasond6770]

Wow, amazing video! The lizard getting a ride was awesome. That hike you do looks nasty. And then the gold, WOW, enough said. I cant wait until you are able to get back out there.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you :) I can't wait to get back out there either! I purposefully left some ground untouched for next time ;)

[@kekjohnson5912]

A very well done video! I miss that country so much.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

It's beautiful country, I can't wait to get back there :)

[@spechnoch]

DUDE I LIKE THAT BACKGROUND MUSIC

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

@@spechnoch Thank you! It always puts me in an adventuring mood :)

[@michaelswanson7881]

Some nice pans there, next things on the list of tools are some brushes and a scoop, just sweat involved, no blood, and you can get everything out of those loaded crevices.💰💵

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I really need to go back to all my spots with a brush or a vaccume haha, I leave quite a bit behind with my fingers

[@hughjunit2503]

Find the old sxhool hand held vacuum or a small shop vac

[@maidajeni817]

LOVE! Always the best gold digging videos🤩 so proud of you💖

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you soo much

[@jonmorgan1913]

That will definitely motivate some people. Awesome video!

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you :) I know it's keeping me motivated :)

[@wendingourway]

So very cool! Bruce and Otis

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you :)

[@graveyardprospecting]

That was all around great video. Man, good work, that’s some great gold !👍🔥🔥

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you :) I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@Eagle_Eye_PROSPECTOR]

Thats some great pans , keep having fun.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you, i will :)

[@OGRocker1]

Nice gold neighbor ..... great video, thanks ...

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you too :) hopefully I make my way down to your area sometime :)

[@zve482]

I really didn’t think there’d be much gold in Oregon for the exception of around the dormant volcanos Nice finds.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I've honestly been shocked with the ammount of gold I've been finding at this spot. Most places I've been haven't been nearly as good

[@hughjunit2503]

Should do your reaearch. Tons, literally tons of gold was found here and alot of places are still producing good gold

[@GSProspecting]

That's how to get it done fam. What a blast getting out there. Still doing my homework before I come to Oregon. A lot of spots look like someone claimed them up 😂. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out!!!

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

There are a ton of claims in this state, I'm lucky to have found this place. . .I might justvhave to steak a claim on it myself

[@GSProspecting]

@@SkovianGoesOutdoors cool fam. We have been talking about it. Same thing out here in Washington. All claimed up. Time to get out of here 😞.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Just got to get deeper in the woods, somewhere most people aren't willing to go

[@nofrontiers-japan]

Looks like a beautiful place! Love the music too

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you :) It really is an amazing place

[@WillSeymour-mt8hf]

Got to fill some buckets up to take back with you. That's some great dirt.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I did once, it was a rough hike back hahah, alot of gold thoug :)

[@GoldenSkullProspecting]

Great vid 👍keep motivated by that shiny AU 👍✨️🤙

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you :) that gold sure can motivate you

[@FlourgoldWizards]

Impressive! You made a fine video here 😃👍🏻

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you, that means alot to me :) I'm really glad you enjoyed it

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

Get that gold man! Good job!

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thanks man :) I can't wait to get back out there

[@scottpetersen6869]

Really clean gold! How about some weigh ins?

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I've been debating on adding that into the videos, I might just have to

[@southernoregonprospector9074]

Been watching a few of your vids, nice little ledge you got there brother! I wanna get out there soon, especially with the rivers warming up now, just gotta find the time. I love how you wear your shoes in the water, I do that too lol! Liked and subbed.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I've tried wellies, and I've tried river shoes. . .nothing beats the sneaker hahah. The walk home is a little squeaky, but not too bad

[@southernoregonprospector9074]

@@SkovianGoesOutdoors yeah, I hear ya on that. Not sure exactly where you're located, but I've been looking to partner up with someone to do some hard rock prospecting in a few areas...it's just better to be with others than solo, don't wanna end up as cat food! Let me know if your interested and maybe we could do something next month...I'm building mills until the end of August, then I'll be free.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I've never done any hard rock prospecting, but I've always wanted to try it out! We should defiantly try to get something together :)

[@Fueastneighbor]

Good job your definitely on it.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you :) I can't wait to get back down to the river

[@toddrodgers5108]

Great gold a wow video

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you :)

[@GoldChump]

Great pans! Time to drive the backhoe and dump truck down there :)

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I would if I could! I need to get some friends who are willing to haul buckets for me haha

[@sweethome2363]

Looks like great hard fun. I tend to dig holes to China with enthusiasm

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

There are some places I feel like I could haha

[@jamesolson4420]

WOW you're doing awesome bud

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you :) I'm having a blast too

[@GoldHunter-77]

Awesome gold again! I’d be claiming that up! Thanks for sharing nice camera work and editing too. Are you using an iPhone like me? Quality looks good stabilization I use the 11 Max

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I'm using a Samsung s21 fe. It has really nice picture quality, but I do encounter some audio hiccups. I ordered an Osmo action 3 so I could have even better stabilization and maby start sniping :)

[@WheezinGeezerTV]

Awesome gold there brother, I sure hope that skunk didn't get ya', it sure was ready.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

It wouldn't let me pass! Had to follow him for 10 min before we came to a fork in the road haha

[@WheezinGeezerTV]

@@SkovianGoesOutdoors That's awesome.

[@Dirt47]

Great gold dude!

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you :)

[@jaydavis0927]

Awesome video bro!

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you :)

[@avzamani.Turkey]

Congratulations bro, good job

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thank you :) I can't wait to get back down to the river again!

[@blueleadgoldproductions133]

Nice pans. Come South on July 27 and join us at the 2024/North Yuba Nugget Hunt

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I would love that! I'll have to start making my plans :)

[@Ooze_yt]

There's allot of poisen oak on that hike

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

There's tons of it out here, luckily I caught it so much when I was a kid I'm almost immune to it now

[@lambastepirate]

That was a wood lizard the get to a foot long or better when full grown.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Thats crazy! I wouldn't have expected he would get that big

[@robertlewis5611]

When you get down that far, you need to vacuum out the bottom. That's where the best gold will be.

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I've had my eye on some portable wet/dry vaccumes, I just need to pull the trigger and order it haha

[@hughjunit2503]

You on the Rogue?? I grew up 2 miles from river forks where the north and south umpqua meet....you want good gold?? Hit the south by myrtle creek and cow creek

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I've always wanted to pan down there on the south, someone told me it's all claimed up though

[@hughjunit2503]

@SkovianGoesOutdoors nope. Open land out there. Also quite a few claims for sale. Saw 1 for 5000$ and another for 3900$...... both on middle creek which feeds cow creek. Or you could look for the red blanket lost mine right accross the river. The founder of Tombstone had found a rich ledge above days creek in 1890s.....after he was found dead he had rich quartz and his journal entry said " finally found it, much richer than tombstone ever could be".......look up the story

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

Right on. What did you end up with the weight ?

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I didn't have a scale available to me untill recently, my best guess is 1.5 - 1.75 g. I'll have a weigh up in the future :)

[@rileywinder9138]

My son and I want to get into this hair do I find out what I can go gold panning like you we live in Lapine just south of bend

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I haven't heard of much gold panning around that area. I would recommend going somewhere on the Rogue river, or the Applegate river, I know those have public recreational panning areas, as well as cow creek over by Canyonville. The coast is always an option aswell (gold beach, whisky run beach) really small gold on the beach though, but alot of it :) I hope you and your son get the gold fever :) it's a really amazing hobby

[@alfredocastillo147]

Hey i see another people at ur back :)

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

Yeah, people float the river alot. There is a big wave right before where I pan, alot of people fall out of their boats haha

[@alfredocastillo147]

Istead they have fund y do try wat u did... its cool ur having aventure n finding gold to make money...they r i....? Hehehe much i rather to join u than to having fun with nothing bring at home to make money

[@maureenviola]

I’d like to see the final amount and find out how much it’s worth

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I should have done a weigh up, that's my bad. I did start doing a final weigh in my more recent videos though

[@alfredocastillo147]

Hope ur wather r same here in philippines. Its almost 3week we have tayphon egay n phalcon.... i can not work n earn money to use in my hiking....😢

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I hope your weather gets better. And I hope you have heavy pans when you get back yout there

[@alfredocastillo147]

I hope so sir... u have a lucky pan huh... lots of flower gold u have.... sana all:)

[@bagofhippos]

Skovian!!!

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

[@kylehansen2330]

What river are you on?

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I'm on the Rogue

[@Jerry-me1fy]

What river is that on?

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

The Rougue

[@dsmoothman1981]

what river ??

[@kennethgreene7124]

Man you get more gold in 1 pan than I get in a whole day of busting my ass😢😅

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

What kind of gold do you usually get on a day out?

[@kennethgreene7124]

Probably average .25 grams. I go to Quartsville Creek and little north fork Santiam. Best I've ever done in 1 day was at Lawson Bar and I got 1 gram. But that was busting ass classifying 8 buckets down to ⅛ inch material and I worked from sunrise to sunset

[@madreamer]

Who do you sell it to ?

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

@@madreamer I've sold gold to the local Gold Excgange before when I needed quick cash (80% of spot) I was thinking I might make paydirt bags this year if I can find enough gold :)

[@soniadavenport9120]

hi love your channel but i was waiting until the end of this video for you to weigh it for us. can you please weigh your finds at the end of day please. its nice to know what you made. a gram a half or more.let us know. thank you

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I'll start adding a weigh up at the end of the videos :) thank you for the suggestion

[@marcperez3321]

This guy is trying to hawk your spot! Don't indulge him...

[@diggindeland3421]

weight?

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I'm estimating 1 - 1.5g. I just got a scale to start adding a weigh up to the videos :)

[@mohammednovalija]

@@SkovianGoesOutdoors I was gonna suggest lashing out and purchasing a scale - good one , looking forward to seeing the weighins in future

[@braveseven4655]

stop peppering the pan

[@SkovianGoesOutdoors]

I don't even season my food, why would i salt my pans? :)
