This video answers the questions of if there is gold to be found in the Minneapolis St Paul area in Minnesota. Answer, there is. the gold here is flour gold left behind by the glaciers.

@DrFrankenFurterFilmsАй бұрын
I want everyone who watches this to know, you cannot go to any stream in Minnesota to pan. You also CANNOT pan material that isn't under water. Taking from the bank like this is not allowed, per my emails with DNR: "Removing material from stream or river banks for gold panning is not allowed, due to erosion concerns and the disturbance to the natural river processes that shape the stream path, streambank size, and connection to flood plain. And when streams and rivers have bedrock or large boulders along their banks, the nooks and crannies that might trap gold and other heavy minerals are also a unique microhabitat to many important critters in the stream ecosystem." You also cannot pan any river. It must be Minnesota State land that isn't a state park. You *can* pan other rivers with permission from the land owner, but this doesn't seem like a legal location if I'm being honest. Also I can confirm that even a SMALL box is illegal. If you gold pan on private land, you CAN use a box, but only if none of the water reaches any source of river, and isnt a commercial operation. You cannot sell any gold you collect in Minnesota. I do applaud the effort of filling your holes, that is a good thing to do.

If glaciers deposited gold into Minnesota's geologic nooks and crannies back in the day, then (thinking on a grand scale) might there be big chunks dropped up in the boundary waters and lakes regions? Like underwater? Would it make sense to dive for gold? Could the natural and limestone cave formations found in some places act as giant sluices? Thank you for your channel, interesting.
@GlacialGoldHunter8 күн бұрын
There is gold there but it’s not big gold so it’s probably not worth diving for. Not all gold deposits form big nuggets but there were and are producing gold mines in Ontario. At one time there was a gold rush around lake vermillion and rainy lake. It never produced much though.
