PROSPECTING AND CREVICING - COOS CANYON MAINE GOLD

[@Prettymuchbacon]

Welcome to Maine, glad you swung by was waiting for you to come!

[@Klesh]

Thank you DerpTrooper!

[@cowboygeologist7772]

I haven't yelled at the TV like that in a long time. When you were throwing everything in the river at the beginning, I was telling, "Noooooo! Don't throw the frost heave in the river when you have a bucket and pan right there!". LoL Nice video.

[@guillermodelnoche]

Did you hear the traditional deep Maine greeting? “Eh dare Scheppah?”… translation “Hey there Skipper?”.

[@drgwyndn]

It’s hard as a father to have time with your adult child; without missing how much precious you had with them in their youth, but so satisfying to have time with them now. Thanks for sharing that time with us as well, we are the better for it.

[@Klesh]

Thanks drgwyndn glad you enjoyed it!

[@Aco747lyte]

Nice seeing you showing your daughter crevicing, and I like your crevicing tools. ...I forge our own so each sit well in our hand and are well balanced. I also get to choose the hardest steel, too. My daughter and I enjoyed your video; it's reminiscent of what we are doing before we don our wetsuits and snorkels and enter our river to snipe. Best, ~Wendi

[@FlashInYourPan]

Maine is a beautiful state, at least you were able to get on the river and find a little color Shane, some gold is better than no gold. Thanks for sharing and may you always have a Flash In Your Pan...

[@Klesh]

I agree Flash In Your Pan, and thanks for watching!

[@michealgrant8403]

I go to Coos Canyon for 3 weeks every year. I live 4 hours away, but, it is well worth the trip. I have a lot of nice Garnets from there too!

[@Klesh]

Nice!

[@nathanielmclaughlin1945]

That is my back yard

[@bo49685]

At 3:12 when you were shoveling out that crevices there was about a 3oz Nugget you threw into the river.....JK😂😂😂😂😂😂 I really enjoy your videos, you are always so calm and seem to just love life. Keep living the good clean life brother👍

[@Klesh]

Thanks mark Bohamed glad you enjoyed it!

[@waynebussey5521]

You and Aries look like you were having a blast inspite of the cold and the snow...nice view of the area...That water does look cold...Gotta go back when there is no snow so you both can hit the place harder with more comfort...Thanks for taking us along....and those buckets of yours...the logos need to be sanded off and some Klesh stickers need to go on...Bling the bucket, make it official Klesh tools merch for your touring...Have a good one bud 👍.

[@Klesh]

You're right I'd like to get back there during better weather, cool idea with the stickers I'll have to do that! Also, sorry for the late reply but I have a lot of free time now due to "the virus"!

From my home state! Nice! Maine is sneaky big. It takes a while to get around there.

[@stainsonmycouch3655]

Same!

[@Klesh]

Yeah Maine's a nice place, I use to visit once a week back in 2004-2005 when I lived up in Boston.

[@donmoor4e974]

Not the quantity but the quality. Tom Massie always said. When you come to Texas you are going to have a heat stroke. At least where the hot humid climates are . Texas has almost every gemstone in it, just hard to find. Enchanted rock is a cool place to go, It is a granite upheaval of an old volcano that never erupted. I think it was 650 acres that people mountain climb. People do cliff climbing. The plaque at the top said that a few solders held off some Apaches Indians and killed them as they came up, I was 12 when I went. My Dad, when he was young found a nice Texas topaz in Brady creek around Melvin TX. It was very beautiful in all my moms and grand moms jewelry he made them. Is Aries birthday in March. I am an Aries also a ram. Loved it and can't wait for your next one

[@Klesh]

Cool thanks for the info on Texas!

[@davidlambie5276]

Great wee video and great to see the family getting involved. I'm away to Tyndrum in Scotland on Friday with my 3 oldest boys for a weekend of panning. First time in over a year due to the pandemic so canny wait lol. Keep the videos coming brother. All the best to you and yours from Scotland 🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤘

Was just doing to reading on Maine prospecting and remembered I hadn't seen your video from Maine! Might head up that way in the morning and look for some nice bedrock!

[@JenniferSmith-px5hh]

I'm a native Mainer and I am going to Coos Canyon in Byron with my gold prospecting group on Saturday, hopefully to find my first nugget! I just love to watch your videos!

[@Klesh]

Good luck the snow should be melted, get down in those crevices that I couldn't access! Thanks for watching

[@agentjwa]

if you make it here to WI you can metal detect old copper culture complex artifacts, up to around 6000 years old. a friend has found a bunch of tools and other things made of copper mined by the natives off Isle Royale in lake superior and other places the glacier stripped the land down to reveal copper deposits.

[@Klesh]

Cool!

[@travistozier5907]

I live 40 miles from coos canyon. I'm gonna hit it this spring. Hopefully I'll get some good gold deposited from spring run off.

[@TwoToes]

If I got that close to snow, I would break out in a rash. Looks like a beautiful place, and going home with gold, win - win.

[@Klesh]

The snow was hip deep everywhere the nice crevices were too. I couldn't get down there. i was looking forward to using some Two Toes crevicing techniques too. Thank for wathcing

[@marcafterdark1003]

I live a half hour away and never knew there was gold😮

hells ya brother keep rocking i see those subs rising! much love from nova scotia!

[@HelenGPitts]

Previous month I managed to pull my first five figure income ever!!! I've been working for this company on the net for 2 yrs now and I never been happier... They are paying me $95 per hour, and the best thing about that is the fact that I am not really that tech-savvy, they only asked for standard understanding of internet and basic typing skill...The best thing about this job is the more free time I got with my kids. I am in a position to spend quality time with my family and friends and look after my babies and also going on family holiday together with them very consistently. Don't miss this chance and try to respond fast. Here is what I do *growthbig92­.­c­o­m*

I hope so !

[@Clay51racing]

im in Minnesota. i heard there isnt much but powder gold up here cause the glaciers crushed alot of it thousands of years ago. is that true? or is there spots in MN that you think would have some OK gold in it

[@Klesh]

i think its almost all glacial till, but havent started researching MN yet

[@Clay51racing]

Pennsylvanians have a weird accent :D

[@gabrial3377]

Awesome video! I have been up there. I live by Kittery and was thinking of hitting Coos, this week, then I thought i might hit the wild A on Kagamangus road. In NH. Vt seems a better place. It is difficult to find places to access the rivers if one diesnt know where to park the car and how to get to the rivers. Doesnt look like you found much for all your efforts! I think you need more time in each spot in each state to get a better assessment of its gold potential??i will be looking for the NH and VT videos. Thank you for doing the north East.

[@Klesh]

Yeah for sure, but with time constraints had only a few hours per state this trip. Still a fun adventure glad you liked the video@!

[@kellyashworth3536]

What a beautiful place to stop & dip a pan! Nice bedrock for summer fun.

[@Klesh]

I agree Kelly Ashworth, and thanks for watching!

I’m going back to California to live once my twins graduate high school next year....so I CANT WAIT to get back to prospecting in California in 2020. There is gold EVERYWHERE there. You can find gold of some sort in every pan, so I’m spoiled. So I’ve never even hunted for gold in Michigan....lol.

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

@@bo49685 most of the gold in MI was a by-product of copper mining

ive only watched a few of your videos so far but its got me wondering.. im from New Zealand.. do you think you can pan any river in the world and you might find some gold?

[@Klesh]

There's trace amounts of gold all over the earth, however most rivers in the world do NOT contain recoverable amounts of gold. Even here in Colorado, one river has gold, and one canyon over, the next river has zero gold. It's very strange but that's how it is. Thanks for watching!

Please, no video on Agates! lol
