Mississippi River Bucket Panning

[@firechicken455adventures]

As always some great humor mixed in with some great prospecting. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@mikekline261]

Seaweed......in the river...

[@kerrihansen2413]

I follow many prospectors. You're one of my favorite. Keep up the good work! And bonus points for the Princess Bride clip. 😁

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

That’s great to hear! Thank you!

[@inquisitivealbertan1712]

As always, an entertaining video. Thank you for posting.

[@ThinkTexas]

Thanks for the video and Merry Christmas.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Merry Christmas

[@dartmart9263]

Wow, I had no idea there were rocks and gravel in the Mississippi. In Arkansas and Louisiana all we see is silt/mud. Awesome episode!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Yeah I’ve been to the river down in Iowa and all I found was mud.

[@GSProspecting]

Great day out there fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

[@mikemaninger67]

Thanks for making these videos! I find it fascinating how you are able to find gold just about everywhere.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

There are a lot of places I don’t find gold but I don’t always post those.

[@ramsessilent]

another advantage to panning out of a tub is you can put a little jet dry in it. as for the bucket panning its super important to keep the whole buck under water so you dont interduce Air and the lets the gold float out well you are swirling. think of it as a potato pan, thanks for the share! stay awesome!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I don’t like to put jet dry in the stream. I don’t think the fish like it.

[@ramsessilent]

@GlacialGoldHunter that is why you pan out in the tub with jet dry in it and just empty and refill the tub out of the stream . So you can just empty the tub on shore . It you don't like jet dry and you a afraid of it getting back into the water you can just use animal safe dawn soap. It only takes a few drops to brake the surface tension. Experiment for yourself fill your sink up add a little cooking oil and drop a single drop of dawn in you see how little it takes . Soap happens in nature all the time,

[@ThomasPerra]

I love your presentation. I'm the guy that hobby prospected in Alaska. You just make it fun. Keep it up. I'm going to give it a try this Spring. Tom

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

That sounds like a fun place to prospect.

[@jacobfolz6683]

Love the new video Glacial Gold Hunter! Thanks for making my Saturday morning special! You’ll fill up the vial next time I’m sure of it!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I’ll hit the mother load some time!

[@glentimmins7560]

Great times and learning! Sure looks nice and warm there⛏️⛏️

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

It was. It’s all ice now.

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Anything is worth a try👍. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

And now you know so you don’t have to.

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

@GlacialGoldHunter right on😉👍

[@TheMichaelScarn]

Instant smile, remembering it’s Saturday and you have a new vid

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Glad to hear it!

[@zoecoji6488]

That is a dragonfly larvae. Thanks for the video.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I didn’t know they could swim!

[@EMFMiner]

Mixa-mixa-mixa! I think you've officially earned a 8 mesh bucket classifier. Great job!

[@mandybrown7758]

You are teaching some of us we are learning always👊🏽😁

[@danschafer4347]

The bucket idea I think it can work with a few modifications I will let you know how it goes. But another great video hope the new year finds you with heavy pans and happiness

[@thetatteredflannel218]

An upper Mississippi episode would be awesome! Lake Itasca to Bemidji area-ish. Not sure of gold but just a suggestion.

[@bobp5523]

I like your term "enthusiast".

[@dt4676]

Wow that alien bug fish thing was trippy

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Right!

[@mikeyachk]

That's a nice boulder!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I like that boulder.

[@Bonamici]

Glacial Gold Hunter releese new material!! Yippie!! 🙂👍💛💙

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Wonderful to hear!

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Nice gold for Minnesota! But be careful! Bull sharks have been spotted in the Mississippi River all the way up in Minnesota. 😊

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

That would make a good video!

[@406miner7]

Hay if your able would love to have ya come over to montana and mine with us next year

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

That would be fun road trip!

[@TheMichaelScarn]

You ever try down by the bluffs of red wing or lacrosse area? Would be interested how that area would be

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

No I haven’t tried that for down but as long as there is a good gravel bar you should be able to find some.

[@locke3141]

When you say “north of Minneapolis”, where about? I was raised right on the mississippi north of Minneapolis, and just curious how close you were to me. Idve come out and helped fill some buckets for ya!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

This was at elk river.

[@jlemieu1]

Said like a fellow Minnesotan…. Ofdah

[@garrettmillsap]

I was thinking you saw this from Jeff Williams and then you said it. Lol. I've thought about trying this myself

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Maybe you would have better luck than me.

[@garrettmillsap]

@GlacialGoldHunter I'm not entirely sure since the gold in my area of oregon is pretty small too

[@jpkoch427]

9:40 I think that is a coenagrionidae larvae

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Wow. So they have a name for the aliens already.

[@jpkoch427]

@@GlacialGoldHunterThere truly is nothing new under the sun. Thanks to you I now know more about glacial gold, damselflies, and aliens

[@mandybrown7758]

Wilson😂😂 i laughed so hard

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Is it bad if I laughed while editing it.

[@dt4676]

Maybe if you use a 2 gallon bucket to mix up the pea gravel sized stuff after you spin it in the 5 gallon

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I think at that point it becomes more trouble than it’s worth.

[@myfalconry76]

Look for gravel and black sand along the shores at the base of those trees.

[@HimmelbergerBus]

The end of that one almost channeled Bob Ross there.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I have a bronze casting channel and I’ve been called the Bob Ross of bronze before.

[@HimmelbergerBus]

@@GlacialGoldHunter it’s a compliment. :-)

[@dkizzy55]

You still MUST try my Nugget Bucket solution 🙂 Fastest ways to legally move the most amount of dirt here in MN.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I looked into it but those buckets are like $150 and that just seemed a bit much.

[@dkizzy55]

@@GlacialGoldHunter Hhhmmm it's about value though.They last for years & you'll literally go through 3 times the amount of material every single time you pan, with half the arm work. Worth it my man. Shoot, I'll buy you one LOLOL or at least put a hundy on one for you

[@markforrester1888]

Like Pioneer Pauly says....when you find gold thats where the gold is.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I love Pioneer Pauly

[@douglasbrown4775]

use wider bottom pan 10 in or so spreads faster less dngle keep pan flat pump up view cravity panning follow it keep our fines to 400

[@NumismaticStacker-z8x]

When i go to the Mississippi River, we get about 50 specks of gold in 1 bucket. Secret is dont dig in the water. Dig the cobble on the banks.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I’ll have to try that next time.

[@douglasbrown4775]

im the old guy use thw tray 3 +shuvels follqw gravity panning video run 60 + buckets per hr or take 8x20 or larger tarp put in water shovel 400+ pan cons using traymove 100 bucket + per hr

[@ant9771]

When you speed pan and find specs do you suck the specs up or just toss back into the bucket? Please advise. You make me nervous not showing us this.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Nope I just go till I see black sand and start filling the pan again.

[@ant9771]

@GlacialGoldHunter bro :( please bro please

[@HeavyMetalProspector]

Love the show, hot kid flavor milk 😮

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I know. It just doesn’t look good at all.

[@motasolo]

Minneapolis Seaweed :D

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Yep!

[@confucius2616]

Minnesota is loaded with black sand but very little gold

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

But there is still some to be found.

[@milkmanchoppers]

So You're the reason the Mississippi River is isn't clear in Mississippi! Had no clue the Mississippi was clear at Any point!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

😆 yep. It starts out clear. It’s not that clear on the south side of Minneapolis.

[@anthonyprose4965]

Zebulon Pike, the explorer, said the Mississippi had the clearest waters in the whole world.

[@milkmanchoppers]

From what I've learned on KZbin... the inside corner is where the gold usually drops.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Yeah but the Mississippi the inside corners look about the same as the straight sections. I just look for the gravels.

[@mandybrown7758]

ALIENS 👽

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Definitely! 💯

[@ant9771]

River weed

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

You’re right!

[@mandybrown7758]

Spin

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

That's not the Mississippi! The water's too clean! :)

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

😆 I’m not sure what happens to it between Minnesota and the gulf but it’s fine up here.

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

@@GlacialGoldHunter I'll bet the planet is running the river as a huge sluice. You should make a video after the sun goes into red giant stage and dries up the Earth. I'll bet the gold concentration in the dry river bed will be out of this world.

[@Frank-r9i]

The reason we have stupid laws are people like you who don't push back on tyranny.You probably got vaccinated too, didn't you.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Nope I didn’t get vaccinated, and you can move along.
