I'm in Leeds, West Yorkshire so within driving distance of most of the places you have covered. I'm planning on doing both with my stepson whilst camping for long weekends assuming the corona virus doesn't continue forever. can you please point me in the right direction for clear concise information on laws , does , don'ts and also a good place/area to start. Cheers

Hello Sean. For the best advice I would always look to the British Gold Panning Association. Leadhills and Wanlockhead is a great place to do a wild camp by the river and you can get a permit from the lead mining museum. I have met a few prospectors now who enjoy recreational panning on other rivers too. Tyndrum has a campsite where they seem ok for you to go panning from the side of your pitch in the river.

Hey man, your videos are excellent and you say sluicing is theraputic, I find your videos a great relaxing way to unwind. Thanks to you! I have got the bug and have bought my first bit of kit. Iv been out locally practicing trying to find heavy deposits (no gold as it's Huddersfield). However I am looking to go further afield where there may be some gold. However I am struggling with how do you go about gaining permission from the landowner, like how do you find out who owns the land. Or is it a case of go out, if you get told to move on, just apologise and leave?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Luke and thanks for the comments and feedback, great to hear you have the bug too. Some places in Scotland you can get permits etc and other places I go to is just a case of going for a mooch and like you say, if some one asked you to leave then that would be fair enough. There are a lot of grey areas on this subject.I wouldn't like to get caught with a fishing rod but with a pan you are not poaching , put it that way. Keep practicing and learning the process. It can be daunting when you get to a river and you can't remember all what you have studied and researched.

I probably loose an hour actually filming and if i meet people at the river that can be an hour and a half of chatting ( 3 metres apart ) at present.

[@christopheradair2393]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I've planned up there camped out for a week got close to a half Oz, i only stay 40 miles from here but try further north ullapool! there's big chunky and lots of flower gold, hundreds of streams very few people, never met anyone for ten days! also take a detector you can see where the old stream have changed course detect those I don't have videos but can send you photos of nuggets biggest was 6.4g

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

@@christopheradair2393 Thanks for the info when you put it like that it sounds like a fantastic experience Christopher and if you're getting big nuggets that's the icing on the cake. I cycled the North Coast 500 the other year and was amazed at the geology. I recall a huge gorge on route to Ulllapool on the. ' Destitution Road ' and I tried a few test pans before cycling from Richonich to Thurso. The rocks had thick bands of Black then white then back to black. Stunning. I heard Gairloch is supposed to be good too. It would be great to head up there and have a prospecting holiday in the future.

Gold Rush?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

There is good gold here for sure. Probably more than the Dakota boys find in a season. Thanks for taking the time time to drop by

Where’s the dog Mr dazp

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hi Mark. He is getting a bit too old to be at the river in the damp and cold these days. He's right beside me now , as we speak though, looking at me wanting to go out for a walk but he's also enjoying the warm sun on his belly having lots of 40 winks .

[@markdaven5350]

Not be down on what you are doing but it is extremely bad practice to disturb a river bed. It’s a crime in most places. Especially at this time of year when young trout and salmon (alevins) are still growing and hatching in the gravel. I would strongly advise not to do what you are doing

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks for pointing this out Mark.

A hobby perhaps. He's out in the beautiful countryside with the fresh air doing something that brings him pleasure.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I can't explain this either. I will cycle 150 miles for a pint and a bag of chips too. I love the great outdoors and like to make films about what I do. Thanks for the comments and for watching.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I think you've hit the nail on the head. This place feels prehistoric. I love it.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers

[@JohnWilson-cs7iq]

It is not all about the gold. It is about loving the great outdoors & what nature puts on display throughout the 4 seasons. The fun & adventures of getting into places & home again. The other like minded people you meet along the way is all gold of a different kind. The gold is just a bonus & an excuse for getting into these beautiful places. Good on you MrDaz. Keep it up & best of luck to you out there. John from New Zealand :)

what's the most gold you've ever found whilst out prospecting in the uk

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

If you watch this video it might give you an idea kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooXNfYWjlM2IjbM. Thanks for the comments.

[@majorgunn]

OMG...yawn... I mean good luck on your next adventure,... need a little more result in order to watch UK 2020 Gold rush, all the best to you, no intentional discourse, just the bar is set a little higher on this format..... Michael

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Yep, I get where you are coming from Michael. I film my sessions at the river. Some days are fantastic and others you're lucky to find a spec. Check this adventure I had last year kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooXNfYWjlM2IjbM. Do you think PioneerPauly finds nuggets on every trip out. Nope .... He will film the good bits and will do several trips to the creek until he can show viewers the big gold. On this occasion I found some gold , one of the most precious metals on the planet and made a film to tell the story. Can I think you for watching and sharing your thoughts.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It's what ever floats your boat Dave. I like making videos about it and flying the drone, having a picnic , escaping the rat race, enjoying the drive, breathing the fresh air. The list is endless. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@iangibson6819]

I do not like yourself because you're always going home back and the Secret river you never tell nobody People want to know where to go

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Ian, first things first, I always reply to my comments, unlike many other Gold prospecting channels on this platform whom are full time "KZbinrs" who constantly ask for your subscriptions and to hit the bell icon so you don't miss any of their content, yet they haven't got the time to reply to all of their viewers. This is just a hobby for me both the gold panning and the editing to tell the story and share the experience for the viewers . I take on board your comments and can recommend a fantastic book written by Lee Gary Palmer MSc called Gold Occurrences in the UK. This has loads of maps, data and public information all collated into one place for the avid prospector to further their research. On this particular river I have chosen to call it the secret river to respect those who have been coming here for years having done their own research on where to find gold in the UK. I also recommend the British Gold Panning Association for any further advice. Kind regards MrDazP1

[@iangibson6819]

Ok I am from South Yorkshire tell me which river is best to find gold

[@michaelmacauley3875]

Mate you would be better going pavement gold hunting .you will find more gold in any town pavement on any sat or sun morning after all the birds have been pished and lost there earrings and shit lollol and you will be warmer and dryer lollol

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I have thought about giving this a try just to see what is out there. I have seen videos where they pan the dirt outside jewellers shops and find all kinds of interesting stuff. Thanks for watching and commenting Michael
