[@jamesprentice5503]

Hi ,from Tennessee, great vid,say hello to Scotlands Gold too!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello from this side of the pond James 👍👍

[@josefmoul2823]

Met you a few years ago in Coniston with some of the boys I’d taken from a children’s home. Still loving the videos. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the content 😊

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Yes, I recall that moment Josef, I bet the youngsters will be grown up now. I have spent the last 20 years working with YP and SEN. Hope you are well buddy👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

@josefmoul2823 thanks for getting back to me and all the very best for the future. I have another nice little video coming up soon where I'm at a place I call the "Wee Scottish burn" and I find a nice little picker 👍

Love these episodes & the sarnies thank you 👍👍🙏🇬🇧

Fuelled by crabsticks once again 🙂

[@jamesprentice5503]

Thank you kindly my friend. It's never epic but I try to tell the story of the days e events as they unfold the 👍

Enjoyed that Daz, great hobby to have.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I have a few hobbies Matt and it's good to mix things up after a busy time at work

[@1000000trs]

Very much like that rich shade a of yellow there Dazza ! so bright and clean. Very nice.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It is great to look at especiallt with macro lens for sure

[@NuggetNinjaAdventures]

Great video Daz, I’ve got lots to learn from you. Some cool drone footage too and well put together video 🥷

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you so much buddy. Your comments are greatly appreciated. I'm no expert, and like I said in the video. Every day is a learning day. Maybe our paths will cross one day 👍

[@NuggetNinjaAdventures]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures it’s such a great hobby isn’t it. Definitely more enjoyable when we find some candy in the pan though. I was speaking with my brother about you the other day and maybe arrange a meet up sometime.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Yer, no worries buddy. 👍

[@PatringtonPirateProductions]

Waited long time for another gold adventure well done daz the gold i find is sooooo much smaller but grest fun all the same tske care mate Rob

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Rob, I've a few more videos to get through from recent trips out to the river and happy gold hunting to you my friend 👍

[@bernicebest]

Thought I’d pop along to see a dedicated gold prospector in action, very impressive Darren, your in one of my most favourite places to be Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 a bit remote for me but stunningly beautiful, a great hobby, ‘The Call of the Wild’ must be in your blood lad to carry all that equipment up hill as well, that’s a massive achievement, well done 👍 you will sleep well tonight 😅

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Ever since I was a young boy I have played out in my local hills Bernice. I never knew at the time, but as I got older, I realised that the great outdoors was always going to be my salvation and eventually it would become a part of my life. This place is truly remote but it is also a great place to escape from the modern day nonsense that seems to appear in our daily lives. The gold is a bonus.

[@bernicebest]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I couldn’t agree more Darren, I would love to escape from this crazy nonsense that is taking over our lives, if I was younger and in better health I would be in the Scottish Highlands like a shot, I spent over forty years there with my late husband, it was a magical place and will always be in my heart and thoughts, I agree the gold is a bonus indeed, maybe if you find enough you could buy your own little island one day, anything’s possible! If you have a dream follow it! 🤗

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you kindly Bernice for sharing your thoughts once again, it is lovely to hear you fondly recall so many happy times spent with your late husband. God bless you...

[@bernicebest]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Your welcome Darren, I could wax lyrical for ever about our adventures in the Scottish Highlands, but I’ll leave you to your wonderful haven and amazing Scottish air, if you are still there that is, by the way the video footage is excellent, I presume that is curtesy of your mate Steve, well done 👍 see you when you’re back on the road 👋

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Bernice.

[@surreygoldprospector576]

Return of the famous crabsticks! Nice result there MrDaz. It's always interesting to prospect a new area, you never know what might be waiting to be found. :o)

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

The trips out to the rivers are all based around - what's for lunch SGP 😊And like you said, a new river is always an interesting prospect. We all live in hope of finding the next nugget...

[@jones1068]

Nice. Hope your enjoying The Tour.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It's been a cracker. Poggy looks good this time around 👌

[@Bijou-Bob]

Well it wasn't cycling Daz , but I really enjoyed watching your prospecting for gold 👍🙂

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hey thank you so much Bijou-Bob. I know that my channel is extremely varied and that some things may not appeal to all of my subscribers, but comments like this are really appreciated.👌😊

Thank you Nathan

[@Jonthebelchingguy]

Can't believe I've missed your latest vids I've clicked the bell 😂

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers buddy, I have a few more to edit too 👍

[@peterjones2011]

Another good prospecting trip out mate 👌🏼 looks like you had a great time and as for the weight in your panning gear i hear you my friend 😂 catch up soon

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hi Peter, the amount of kit in the back pack seems to increase on every trip. I guess it's all part of the fun

[@kggg5469]

Really want to get into this looks so fun

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Sure thing my friend. It is physically challenging but it takes you to some amazing places.👍

[@kggg5469]

@ know any good spots in the south of the uk?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

@kggg5469 I don't, Devon and Cornwall in the SW have gold. The Dart..

[@terrydickinson3296]

Prospecting heaven!😉

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Ha ha ha. That made me chuckle Terry. You and I know it should be a different kind of heaven...

[@philipstorey3965]

Nice video daz lad. I make rice cakes and pop chips. Always take a few packs with me full protein and light

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Nice one Philip. Plenty of energy in a rice cake. It's tough doing this sort of stuff and by the time you get back to the camp, you know you have had a work out 👍

[@theoldguyofwhinlatter157]

Daz my friend I'm sat with a grin on my face as big as a crescent moon all of the vid was fantastic, The best thing to me was the tranquillity, do I need to say anymore 😊

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I think you've hit the nail on the head buddy. War could break out and I'd be none the wiser

[@jamesprentice5503]

Not bad,looks pure!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It is well reputed to be very pure gold up here

[@danielyruby8696]

Hello from Acworth Georgia

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Daniel 👍🙂

[@sashcramp2099]

You need an off-road e-bike, Daz ! Better than yomping all that gear.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

That sounds like a good idea. Some of the hikes in are tough going. It's a good job I ride my bike a lot to keep fit 😀👍

[@franklinpalmer6124]

Yes

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

OH Yes Franklin 👍

[@caipriestley6020]

Another great video! Is there a way to contact you privately mate?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you kindly. How can I help

[@caipriestley6020]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Hi Daz, I want to send you something to try. Have you got an email I can reach you on?

[@caipriestley6020]

Daz, I’ve manufactured a drop riffle sluice and would like your thoughts on it. If you’re interested in trying it out, please let me know and I’ll send one your way. No charge of course 👍🏻

[@allanspqr14]

Do you need a permit/permission to pan any river in scotland?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Allan, on some rivers you can get permission and on others there appears to be a general view that it goes on and is enjoyed by the hobbyist. The authorities don't like people fishing on the rivers with out a license more than panning and like wise some places where you can get permission, there are restrictions due to spawning grounds up to the 1st of June

[@PuffPuffProfit]

How many grams you got so far ?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

That's a good question... Not that much really to be honest 👍

[@Theclashglobe]

I am planning a gold panning trio to scotland. Someone with a good heart can tell me a good area easy to reach with nice gold?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Camping at the Mennock pass is great and there's gold in the river too. You can get a permit from the museum up the road

[@Theclashglobe]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thank you will give it a look

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

You are welcome

[@truth-b4l]

Serouse question how long do u think it would take roughly to get 1 oz of gold panning and slucing in welsh rivers ?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

This all depends on the ground you are working and how many hours you work at the river. I would estimate that if you panned and sluiced the gravels 7 days a week for 20 weeks you wouldn't be far off an ounce . If you went out once a week on Sunday for example, you would be looking at around 3 years to accumulate your goal.🙂

[@truth-b4l]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures cheers ime from Midlands so wouldn't bother in my local rivers but I gave up fishing years ago and have done a lot of hiking and wild camping in the peak district past couple years I love outdoors and I've tried metal detecting few years back but found nothing but old penny's cow bells nails old soda cans and lead 🤣 so might try gold hunting now as I love gold jewellery like treasure hunting and like being outdoors so seems perfect for my new hobby 👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It sounds like the perfect hobby for you mate. There's a lot to learn and that makes it equally just as interesting. Best of luck with your adventures and keep me informed of your progress 👍
