Lake Michigan Beach Mining

[@dirtypawsgoldadventures]

Always wanted to try beach prospecting. nice job .

[@BadJimmiZ]

I really like your videos,, I'd keep the Cobblestone for Flower beds, it's already rinsed,, the Gold is just a bonus,, keep up the good work,, bravo

[@Deepwoodsjoe]

Michegander my self I'm trying to see where you are ,but I'll figure it out. Thanks for going out.

[@michiganprospectors]

Good to see you back out there. I was watching your videos before. I was also gone from prospecting for a while. My firewood business has taken off and takes all my time recently. I would be hitting that spot again with the gold cube asap.

[@SilverSleuth]

I had to replace a some of my stuff and have most of it replaced now. Funny how things walk out of the garage when your not home.

[@michiganprospectors]

@@SilverSleuth That is terrible! Sorry to hear that. I have an alarm system that is on wifi and sends alerts to my phone. My cameras do the same. Amazon has blink cameras cheap which do that. And you get alerts if your camera goes offline which tells you if someone is messing with your wifi or power. Nasty neighbors led me to this myself.

This topic always gets me thinking. Sometimes I wonder about focusing on garnet and other colored crystal sands, to display in glass tubes or offer to crafters.

Nice to see you out in the field again I'm from cedar springs and go to the rouge river now and then when I see your video'sit gives me some hope of finding something I got a few specks here and there at least there is someone from the area doing the same thing the rookie

[@SilverSleuth]

Thanks James! I had several pieces of my equipment that came up missing that I had to replace. I hope whoever has them is putting them to use. My son graduated this year and the “band dad” is freed up again. My sons school(Otsego) played in the Red Flannel band competition every year. There is bigger gold in the rogue, but it’s a designated trout stream.

@jamessmith3663 I live in Rockford do you go out in the winter

[@SilverSleuth]

I don’t go out much in the winter.

Along the northern part of the Upper Peninsula along Lake Superior shore the black sands are being pushed out into the lake from the rivers and creeks the black sand makes it out about 50 feet then with the winds pushing south east the black sands get pushed up on the beach. If it was aloud and you could use a dredge you could get a lot of gold but they are not aloud to be used. Take a look at google maps and go east from grand Marais, Michigan

[@jcoutdoorfever]

Hi mike. Great video!!! I see some nice black sand and gold. Talk later

[@SilverSleuth]

Thanks Jerry! I found another local spot that has lots of black sand. Let me know if you want to check it out with me.

[@mandybrown7758]

Great work out there you got Gold in the pan

[@SilverSleuth]

Thank you.

[@bigbadjohn8207]

We’re on Lake Michigan? I’d love to see all those rocks!

[@classicrocker5562]

I get gold prospecting on Lake superior is just a hobby with very little return. But if you did rock hounding for Agates and Other precious stones, you would have much better returns and possibly make a decent profit for your work. The lake superior shoreline is loaded with them.

[@dougosgood3437]

What size classifier you using.

[@dougosgood3437]

Lake Michigan is big. Without giving location could you give some idea. I’ve tried in my area near me but haven’t found anything.

[@dougosgood3437]

It’s so sad that they now made it illegal doing it on the shores of all the Great Lakes

[@dougosgood3437]

It’s just too bad now that panning on Lake Michigan beach is now illegal.

[@Draintheswamp2024]

what if a feller were to classify say 500 gallons of sand how much gold would that be?

[@SilverSleuth]

Could be none or it could be loaded. All depends on how much gold is in the sand. Sample the sand before you classify 500 gallons to see if it will be worth your time.

[@Draintheswamp2024]

@@SilverSleuth I haven't tried this invention yet maybe we could hook up and show me around, I live in Michigan to, and I haven't told anybody about this idea, I know I will be able to run through 500 gallons per day per person other words that's 500 gallons for you to. you just have to keep it under your hat one day I want to get out to Nome Alaska.

[@SilverSleuth]

500 gallons is a LOT of material to run by hand in 1 day. We ran around ten 5 gallon buckets in a day and it was a lot of work.

[@Draintheswamp2024]

@@SilverSleuth when you see my little invention you will say let's run 1000 gallons, it only takes seconds for 5 gallons.

[@bigbadjohn8207]

There’s gold in that beach but not much even by Michigan standards

[@shawnlarock8089]

Wisconsin side has smaller numbers 😢

[@jimmylarge1148]

No. Flour gold wizard does better than anything I’ve seen on the Michigan side. This includes me looking hard for a few years now.

[@justindorado8152]

the flour gold wizzard will give you a spanking sorry its true you need to find better spot i want to see you do better

[@SilverSleuth]

Hi Justin, Thanks for the comment. I don’t post videos to compete with other KZbinrs. I post them to help people learn. Unfortunately I didn’t have 6 hours to drive to Lake Superior to film a video and 6 hours to drive back. I hope you enjoyed the video and watched the whole video. There is something in the video I have never seen Jason or anyone else do and it produced gold.

[@jimmylarge1148]

It’s not him it’s the Michigan side has less gold. Trust me. I’ve been looking for years.
