MUST WATCH!!! CRAZY GOLD CLEANUP!!! AND DINOSAUR EGGS!?!?!

[@troygavis6728]

Hey Kyle Not meaning to talk trash at ya, So don't take this wrong. I live in Co. And believe me, Our gold ain't much bigger. Just more of it. I think if you dig in a straight line across the gravel beds (like 3 or 4 lines) 10' to 15' apart and least 2' deep you'll find the pay streak in that creek And I know it sucks and time consuming. But classify. Especially in places with clay. Overloading your sluice only washes your gold away. You'd do better running your tailing's again. Yeah, I know! I'm a new sub. But Grandpappy always said, When the old dog can't learn new tricks? Better get a shovel, Cause he's dead........ I know, everybody an expert adviser. And we weren't there that day. But you catch my drift. Good work on your vids. Later man.

[@Kylethiemann]

Hahaha hey man no worry and trust me I know aalllll about classifying i was just messin around that day with the new sluice I got a lot of crap for it lol, I have a video on my channel of me prospecting in Golden off hwy 6 after tunnel 2 or 3. I love it there the creeks are so much more better looking than ours lol

[@rickcoona]

classifying down to a 1/2 inch will speed the feed into the box dumping in your second bucket like that you are loosing any gold you may have by not allowing it to travel down the box and you are just beating up your box with those big rocks needlessly. *if your box is "Clogged with Haematite" than any gold will just bounce out and flow out the end*

[@patg6705]

Nice gold and geode you found there. That’s why you should always look around 👍😊🍀🇺🇸⚒

[@lesterleporesr5228]

I gotta say, I've never seen anybody abuse a river Sluice quite like that before!(not even me lol); but, you got Gold! 😆!

[@michaelbyrnes1822]

I had a thought? Suppose you took a big scoop shovel at the bottom of the sluice to catch the wash out . then take that big shovel at a time above the sluice building up the wall's for water level feeding the flow in the sluice.

[@Kylethiemann]

I did that

[@robertkamenoff3918]

I appreciate the vids Kyle! And the patience! I have watched a dozen or so of yours and this WAS more rushed than usual. But I also saw you clearly said you guys got off work early and decided to head out. I like your patience after reading all the parrots out there getting after you! You don't seem to loose your cool even though they don't glance at the comments. I haven't even begun as a hobby yet but as soon as I can... I am just a little ways up from you in SE Iowa, I don't think we have ANY gold. But there IS a Geode State Park not far from me LOADED with some really wild geodes if you are ever up this way. It is only about 15 miles west of the Mississippi.

[@jefftrag1956]

I read about how to make an industrial tumbler out of a rear axle of a big semi truck with the rims and tires in place. You want to cut an opening in the highest part of the rim to load rocks. The article said a cover is not needed but I always thought if I was going to do one I would have a hinged door sealed with inner tube rubber. The idea is to set up a motor geared down so the tires rotates slowly and all the rocks stay in the lowest part of the tire at all times tumbling over each other. Each tire can hold about 100 lbs of rocks and you have 4 tires going at all times each one with a different grit. Always use same tire for the same grit. You rotate the rocks once a week and you have a 100 lbs of polished tumbled stones each week. I have been wondering if you could use quartz sand as grit for the first stage to do the rough rounding off? I am posting this on all videos about rock hounding to spread the idea, if this is you channel and you do not like that let me know. The fact that the tumbling will all take place in a rubber tire should help keep the noise down. The rocks should never touch the rim. I have suggested to people that they make a sound proof shed just big enough to be practical so the noise will be minimized. Plus the rubber in a tire is thick and should absorb a lot of the noise. Also you should have a small fan on the motor to keep it cool. A high quality motor will be a must as it will run 24 hours a day. I am no expert but with the proper gearing the motor should not be under too much stress. I would sell the tumbled stones. Once tumbled, you grade them by quality and type. Some would be really valuable. I bet you could average $10 usd per pound with just good found material and more if you have high grade material. Definitely not for the weekend rock hound but if you sell stones or want to, what a cheap way to start. You could tumble other people's rocks for a fee or shares too. You could make one with car tires for a smaller scale operation. There has to be a lot of people with a 30 year in the making, 3 ton pile of rocks out behind their house. With this they could see results from all that collecting.

[@OutdoorswithNick]

Wowzers that's alot of material to be dumped in the box at one time ... Lol... Just a thought if you dig in the water in front of the a52s as well as a wing dam the water flow will increase and want to go threw the sluice ... Great video and some sweet finds!!

[@ccarter0069]

Great gold again Kyle expecially for a new spot. You need to look into a thing I saw on Vogus prospecting which is a cloth water gathering system. It takes a small flat Creek with no flow like yours and directs the water with a system of cloth pockets that fill up and direct towards the middle. It would allow you to run that sluice properly.

[@Kylethiemann]

I will check it out thank you for the info !

[@archerydogg]

Good stuff and thanks for the hard work. I put whole pan under water to begin when i have the water. It really helps suspend the material.

[@seangere9698]

Why don't you use a classifier before dumping all those large rocks in the sluice? It would help with keeping the tail clear so your sluice keeps running correctly.

[@joncairy9510]

That's exactly what I was thinking. It makes it harder in the long run. Just getting sluice clogged up and possibly tossing gold out of there. There could even been hidden nuggets. You'll never know.

[@joncairy9510]

It's like he's running bricks through the sluice. You could wet classify or dry classify. Plus it's allot more fun.

[@codymackniak6328]

[@latishabradley6972]

Hi Kyle. I'm a new sub. Any advice for me. ?...Lol I Live in Northern Virginia about 45 minutes from DC. I'm new at this as well. But somehow I started just getting obsessed with looking for gold or diamonds. I've actually heard of people up here walking down some of these dirt roads near the Shenandoah River after a nice rainfall and actually seeing gold and finding it washing down the dirt roads....crazy huh....but that stuff never happens to me unfortunately...Lol. Thanks

[@r0b1975]

Awesomeness!!! New permissive spot is spot on lol

[@godseek444r]

Hey Kyle that overhang at the end of the video brother thats ancient man and probably for hundreds and thousands of years of catching gold and minerals I'd pretty much guarantee you if you dig an area down threw their about a 6inch to 10 inches all the way down through you will find massive gold, and not just little specks.. Please try so we can see an clean up for real...

[@godseek444r]

That area looks alot like what I've dug in the past. And I scored good. Just keep on that area for a couple weeks and put the doggone clean up on here OK

[@megapint1626]

Nice video 👍🏻 Those smaller balls look like geodes too. You have something underground feeding rock bottom for sure. I get my gold wagon on the road, I gotta come pay a visit there some time. Someone below mentioned a dam, I agree. Some gold channel that slips my mind at the moment uses one sometimes. Just a sheet made out of light tent nylon. I wondered if it wasn’t a tent rain fly myself. Works great to get depth and direct flow.

[@larrykasiah8852]

Great video can't wait until you get more flow. Have a great day and prospect on.

This might be stupid comment since I'm new to this stuff but is there any way or even a possibility of figuring out a path history for that river? Don't rivers meander left and right over time? Further up river better? Water seems slow but like I said I might be dumb at the present time relative to my experience

[@willlinke2849]

So I was wrong about lower end of oxbow...go to upper end inside where there should be some coarser gravel. That's the first drop point for heavy stuff based on a vid by askjeffwilliams. I was right about angling in toward bank tho. Test pan across that coarse gravel in 3 spots. Top middle and center. Where you find the best samples from each pan in each trench draw a line through each of those spots and that's your pay streak he says. Got me wondering if there's gold in Wisconsin now 😆

[@chrislilly1463]

If you watched the previous video, that’s what he thought “it” was and in the dark of the morning, it looked like one. That’s why “quotes”. It turned out to not be a cave, but Kyle will know what I’m referencing. I still think would be interesting to run the material from the bottom as it’s not super near the creek so not likely that anyone has run it.

[@frankiefingers2344]

You should classify the material as you put it in your bucket before you carry the material because it looks like your carrying more big rocks than the smaller gold bearing sands and gravel, and then you can get more material through the sluice for the same amount of work

[@OutdoorswithNick]

And you should 100% take some test pans from that bedrock overhang that looks nice

Why don't you try up against the bank where the water ran high in the storm's. Right where it turns back out towards the main flow.
