Real Canadian Gold Mining With

Canadian gold mining at its finest with ‪@ANDYTHRAXX‬
Join me on an exciting adventure as I visit ‪@ANDYTHRAXX‬ placer gold mine on the beautiful Vancouver Island in Canada. In this informative video, Andy takes us behind the scenes and shares the intricate details of his gold mining operation, which includes the use of heavy machinery like excavators and a state-of-the-art washplant.
Watch closely as we witness the mining process in action, from excavating the rich paydirt to feeding it through the washplant, where the valuable gold is separated from the surrounding material. The entire process is a mesmerizing blend of technology and nature's treasures.
But the real excitement comes at the end when we perform the ultimate test - the gold clean-up. Together, we collect the precious gold concentrates and eagerly calculate the results. Did our two hours of hard work yield enough gold to make this venture worthwhile? The answer might surprise you.
Join us in the discussion about whether Vancouver Island holds enough gold to sustain a small-scale placer mining operation. Your insights and opinions matter, so please share your thoughts in the comments below.

[@foxfish7115]

A lot of us were getting worried as Andy has not updated his channel for a long time, great to see he is OK.

[@me5768]

Amen I’ve been thinking he might have been caught in the fires.

[@asjamuir5534]

Andy is mining am sure they are getting video to use but why not have Dan Hurd Jason Pauly etc come visit get to see and do a clean up and even treasure hunt patience is always key but so hard to do lmao

[@benniehazelwood9276]

I was wandering to and hoping that he did not quit GOLD mining glad to see he's still at it.

[@MadMarlin1964]

I’m assuming Andy is putting in more time mining and less filming to maximize returns.

[@markbrown6236]

I've been looking for a new video for awhile.

[@mineoperator]

Hard Hats off to you Andy! You have the passion and commitment to pull off full-time mining. We're looking forward to talking in troy ounces too.

[@quintonkoepnick]

Tell Andy he needs to upload! Been waiting months to see if this season is blowing away his last season! Love seeing all of you guys working together on collabs! Keep it up!

[@mindseyeproductions8798]

Andy is such a great guy; thanks Jason a fun video.

[@stlrsmike]

I'm glad to see Andy back. I was wondering where he's been. We always kept extra fuel filters behind the seat. If it doesn't want to run at full throttle, it's usually the fuel filter. Air filters are a little too big to stick behind the seat on a big machine, but we had one nearby just in case. Keep up the good work Andy and get that shiny!

[@budrohammbone2806]

Good to see You visiting Andy at his mine. Not bad for a couple of hours processing. It may be time for you to build a trommel !

[@ja5onl6]

That mini trommel is really cool.

[@dawndixon402]

😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻 Thank you Jason for sharing another great episode with us. I think it's really cool that you and Andy. Make such great equipment, real game changers. In the the harvesting of gold

[@kahnfu-zhin8627]

You’re a really dedicated go-getter, Andy and I hope that your claim gives you all the rewards that your hard work so richly deserves.

[@peterwiley4383]

Great to seeAndy doing well. Have been missing his updates. Congrat’s Andy!!

[@Anokaman]

My two favorite miners, my lucky day! Andy, been waiting for your next video. Both of you get a like before I even start your videos! Shaker table coming to the Thraxx cleanup system? Good stuff guys.

[@davidkeys1879]

Why isn’t Andy posting videos? I like watching his content and would watch.

[@dannyauger7223]

He's probably embarrassed of the low gold count he gets. And it's easier to just have other people spend the money and time to help out and record his mining content

[@markpashia7067]

@@dannyauger7223 Or if he is raking in ounces why waste time videoing it? Better to keep production up to cover overhead and make a profit at the end of the season. You make hay when the sun is shining. You can always edit and post in the winter. Or sometimes you don't want he tax man up your backside either. KZbin is for the guys who make more from ads than actual production.

[@rastaralph7154]

I've been following Andy just as long as I been following you so I've watched him get that place set up and running with loads of problems but it's great to see all the hard work paying off! Great video as always 👍👌❤️💛💚

[@coyotelarry]

I love both of your enthusiasm & humble attitudes. Blessed are you guys for doing what you love. It really comes through in this video!

[@auMr.Pocket]

I knew Andy was way too busy being successful to put out an update. Thanks for your visit. Whoo hoo Andy, you are an inspiration!

[@lylessaddler1791]

Looking good. Would a feeder hopper work better to feed your plant

[@krakhedd]

It's really cool seeing this through your eyes Jason, cuz Andy is clearly a really smart dude who knows his stuff but the Canuckians tend to produce content that yeah has some info but is really meant to entertain. Hearing the numbers and terminology discussed exactly as you guys talked about it, sort of like a fly on the "wall" (or a tree or whatever), is very cool, nerdy stuff

[@thefirstmissinglink]

Definitely love the setup!

[@chriscardoza6164]

Great video! Fun watching you and Andy play in the dirt! I would love to come along and help!

[@outnorthprospecting]

Awsome, Andy is a nice fella🤠

[@scotthultin7769]

373👍's up mbmllc thank you for sharing 😮

[@48thstateprospecting]

Right on Andy is killing it it takes a lot of know how and balls to build your own stuff and live your dream. It’s possible one of your fans on the excavator isn’t working and it’s getting vapor locked or if it only happens when the fuel is low there could be a piece of plastic in the fuel tank that’s interfering with the pump either way very cool Andy congrats looking forward to the shaker table. and thanks Jason for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

[@SECRETCREEKPROSPECTING1776]

Sweet deal seeing you two working together. Right on Jason and Andy 😅

[@nwliving]

Thanks for introducing us to many different miners. I love Collaboration videos

[@WheezinGeezerTV]

Andy has been my favorite non-tv miner for years. Actually, let me give you my list, 1. Tony Beets, 2. Parker Schnable, 3. AndyThraxx.

[@haroldishoy2113]

Jason, thanks for taking us out into the field and showing just what a one man operation can be capable of. Please thank Andy for all of us and I hope the two of you might do some more colabs together. Mighty Shiny.

[@OGRocker1]

Good morning, Jason and Andy ...⛏⚒⛏

[@DIGGER19860]

hey andy if you keep having the fuel filter plug up you need drain the main tank and clean it out. i think there also might be a filter in the tank to. possibly. if there is its probably a screen filter and it might be broken. water gets in the fuel and rusts stuff. princess auto or harbor freight have this little vacuum fluid extractor that has a big tank on it. it works great and is fast. they also work greak for hydraulic fluid. what if you also made a bucket washer? you would need a way to catch the water when the bucket is not there or a remote switch to turn the water off and on. the bucket being pre rinsed would help clean the rocks better and to get the material out easier. you would probably need a third pump or just one bigger one, if you can find a fixable used one everything is sooo much money these days. good luck dude i wish you the best of luck.

[@susanturcotte3176]

Jason and Andy a'workin' at the mine; those 1 ounce nuggies are really hard to find; regarding nature's elements or what was thrown their way; they both came out with smiles as as the cleanup made their day! Awesome video! Keep up the hard work! Blessings from Alabama ❤️

[@chartliner]

Sweet Home Alabama!

[@dpage1844]

Jason thank you for putting this video out. Really good stuff.

[@patrickgilbreath7645]

It is a blast to see interaction between you and others( Dan, Andy and more) working together and having fun shows the viewers that working together is not only possible but fun too. Being able to process the tailings also helps Andy have the knowledge o how we his system is working. Great job and keep doing episodes lie tthis.

[@Madlintelf]

Been following Andy for some time now, and as others mentioned below noticed he hadn't posted in a while. I think this was an awesome collaboration, you two gel so well together, and seeing Andy smile along with you made me smile too. I can't wait for part two, that should be fantastic, thanks, Jason!

[@locostacker]

Way better content than that fake reality TV gold mining crap. Thanks so much for the content. These are the guys that need to be supported, not those actors on TV.

[@VendettaProspecting]

Andy is a badass 100%

[@ANDYTHRAXX]

Awe man! You rock! Thanks that made my day. 😊

[@UtmostOutdoors]

So cool to see you out there with Andy! The mine sure looks different than when I was there last!! Can't wait for the new videos!

[@thomasmckay9878]

Yes! Been wondering about Andy!

[@vaguelysober]

If Jason shows up at any YT gold channel. I’m gonna watch it. Thank you for doing stuff like this, it makes the content you make and everyone else makes so much more, ❤

[@marckrummenacher9446]

Thanks for a great video Jason and even more so good to see you Andy and that you are going great. Looking forward to seeing part 2 and come on Andy let's see a video pleeaassee.

[@MRsilverngold]

MBMMLLC has produced very interesting & informative content on his channel,definitely a quality channel that is entertaining & educational,much respect for jason

[@gufranmalik343]

Good working my friends 🎉

[@_TONY_Az]

Couple of good guys nice to see you guys together

[@ijones79]

@Andythraxx it is sure good to see the KZbinrs checking in on you. I can't wait to see your next video. Great video Jason. Thank you for showing us Andy is still around.

[@alwaddle7390]

Nice to see how the other side does it! Fun to watch you digging in to a new batch of pay dirt. Thanks for sharing Jason.

[@markpashia7067]

Good to see that Andy is getting on the gold. He has worked hard at getting to this place. Nice to see hard work rewarded.

[@maryjohnson5776]

Good mornin' y'all!!! ☕☕☕☕

[@goodwilldirtfishing2557]

Would have been nice if you Had let us all know.... We could have done a meet and greet at some time while you were on the island........

[@user-pm1nt3yw4e]

Awesome to see Andy is still going at it. Miss your videos Andy. Great video, Jason!

[@ironhorse7588]

That was a great video. Thanks for sharing your day 👍😊

[@TheSietch]

Really liked the main machinery and the clean-up setup!

[@kaboom4679]

Pretty good effort getting a good performing wash plant right out of the gates . It can be a lot of trial and error to build one that works well and is easy to dial in . Of course , it may be a liability on different ground , which makes placer such a challenge .

[@josephcormier5974]

Nice sir thanks for sharing this six stars

[@allancolley6306]

Best video yet !

[@Ethan-xm4fv]

That was a fun day. Good to see andy up and running. He had alot of things he was dialing in.

[@tgraves6976]

Great to see a small op doing really well!! As a fellow Vancouver Islander I know there is good gold here as I have panned many creeks streams rivers here. Thanks for the well produced vid. You got my sub and will definitely go looking at Andy's channel.

[@Archimark1]

Man, I been checking Andy's channel for months! I'm glad he's still around!

[@triple_A_rockhound]

Very cool Can't wait see Andy's new video😎

[@MayhemProspecting]

Caramel chocolates and sluicing hahahahaha. What a great video! Love that you got to visit the LEGEND ANDY! One of the kindest people in our beloved hobby :) Hope you had a blast with him Jason, keep up the amazing adventures! All the best 🤠

[@rossgee2950]

Great to see my two favourite miners together! Wasn't sure if Andy fell in a hole and couldn't get out. It's been awhile!

[@timtharp835]

Wow. Nice to see Andy. Miss him. Love his videos. Nice to see you too. Lol.

[@user-de2dk6qp1z]

Thanks both of you !! Great times

[@markbrown6236]

Thanks for this video, we don't see as much content from Andy as we would like.

[@RedmanOutdoors366]

I'm so happy to see Andy mining that trommel man so cool 😎👍💯🇺🇲

[@Pa.PatriotProspecting]

Great day! So cool of Andy to let you help lol!

[@betadoctor]

Cool thing is i follow both channels for years now .. very cool to see the collab and very curious about the shaker table results.

[@EddieSchirmer]

I wonder if you could get a belt feeder machine with its own hopper, so you could use the belt and hopper to ration the feed of the wash plant, and you could dump as much material as the hopper could contain and use the belt as your feed rate controller. something on tracks with its own power plant and mobility control from remote so you could extend your reach. something to consider eh, though always about the cost and all huh. I love seeing people collaborate like this hehe.

[@4seasonspix]

Love seeing you guys work together 😊 So much fun 💛 And the sound of that ingenious mini washplant is so cool 😁 Love it 💛

[@Led420canadian]

Can’t wait to see more!

NICE JasoN & AndY! Good luck GUYS! Cheers JJ

[@AurProspector]

Great Vid, cant wait to see Andy Reach Bedrock.

[@shanedoyle3444]

Hello Jason, a friend of mine has an 36 ton excavator who will dig a pit about 20mts x 50mts and removes all to the sides until he gets say 2 feet off the bottom where it will be detected, after detecting that layer he will remove 6 inches and put to the side's of the pit and will detect it again till he gets to the pipe-clay, a lot of tiny gold bits will be left behind and the pit will be filled in, this process is ongoing. Cheers, from the Golden Triangle Victoria.

[@petepete2284]

Thanks Brent. Good to know that Andy is still alive and sluice'n.

[@rodparker6530]

That’s a cool little machine at that the end there for the cleanup.

[@MarkOfArgyll]

Love watching your videos 📷 Being disabled I can't do much more than some panning. We're thinking about buying some pay dirt but we don't want to get ripped off My grandsons are 14 and 15 and we're going to North Carolina and the area for trip next summer. Thanks for sharing it gives me a chance to get my mind off of this world and relax Again thank you young man.

Cant wait to see what the shaker table finds :D

[@The_Bookman]

Man, I wish Andy posted more often. He makes great videos.

[@a3skywarrior929]

Lot of good hard work

[@mikehalvorsen4788]

Nice to see you guys working as a team. Question for you Jason. During the winter,can you tarp a section of the ground and keep it warm overnight? ( heated hoses ) with a tarp on top. Then, dry crush the dirt,then dump truck it to a indoor location and sluice it. What do you think? Or is the expense too much? Let me know. Thanks. 🇨🇦👍😎

[@MARKE911]

Great video

[@Anonymousones1]

Hey Jason I’m a canadian working in a gold mine in australia for a company called Newmont. Raised in nanaimo pretty cool video thanks this amazing love the bush mining

So glad Andy's doing ok! Been concerned for quite a while.
