Paydirt ...Diamonds - Diamond Paydirt from the UK

[@ScottishGoldHunter]

That was a fun vid Shane👍🏻 Nice to see you picking through some of it and panning the rest⛏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@thegeck9978]

LOL! Love that: “ooOoops!” As the diamond shoots across the pan. Good vid brother. Thank you!

[@D_one]

Your guitar in the backgrounds are great touch. Love your videos. I’ve been watching all day can’t stop. It’s so stressful relieving just to watch.

The diamonds came from aggregate. If the larger material came from the same area as the diamonds in the bag,.then i would take a small mall hammer to them. Put the stones on a small 2x6 plank,lay a piece of cloth over the larger aggregate so broken chunks do not fly around as you crush the material. There might be a good sized diamond in the larger stone like material. Could be hardened lava if you said the aggregate was very light for its size.

[@hitmanharding0075]

I was thinking exactly that as I read you’re comment

[@TechGorilla1987]

Those kind of look like the rocks that remain after burning larger stove coal. We called them clinkers when we shoveled them out of the box. Kind of light, but hard.

[@mattboyer7812]

I have tested “panning” for diamonds with a home-made “blue bowl”. These work fairly well to hold diamonds and gold. Cake bunt, cut center hole down 1” below pan edge, pipe water in from bottom at angle to flow with pan. Slow water inlet just enough to move light material. Light material will walk up center and drop out through hole. Diamonds and gold get left behind. Diamonds repel water so slower water for them.

[@groyperfuhr4871]

you should post a video on your channel showing it off so the people that're less enginerringly gifted can replicate it. Plus who knows, could get you some extra views on a klesh gold review for a better discount

[@brendeniselin]

Love that little one shooting out of tweezers, "woops" haha, also got a laugh out of lets see it in the pan hahaha. Cheers for vid

[@MrJudder413]

I stumbled onto your channel and I'm so glad I did. Dig your content simple and educational.

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

One tool you should have when searching for diamonds is a UV light. Some (not all) diamonds will fluoresce when exposed to UV light.

[@jaratt85]

You can pan that just like anything else, diamonds are almost as heavy as gold so they act the same way in a pan, though a gem sieve like Dan has is likely the best method. In fact around here you have to be careful and watch for diamonds and sapphires when you are panning up anywhere in the foothills, especially on the eastern part of Bear River because during the gold rush they actually pulled thousands of ounces of gems along with the gold, silver and platinum and even small amounts of titanium. (though small comparatively was likely still in the hundreds to thousands of ounces as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of ounces of gold and silver removed)

[@stephenfowler4115]

Gold is roughly five times as dense as gold

[@Deepwoodsjoe]

Thanks now I know.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

So cool. They find little brown diamonds and the occasional clear ones near me in michigan along with a tiny bit of gold and native American artifacts. You keep the gold and diamonds you find but the artifacts go to the museum.

[@brandonborges7377]

Hey Klesh, what is the name of the background music you play while panning? I absolutely love your videos! I find panning so relaxing to watch, I also pan a little myself, I recently bought some of your pay dirt. Thanks for throwing in the extra Krums bag!

[@donmoor4e974]

Well that was different.I think at the diamond crater mine in Arkansas they shake the heavystuff to the bottom, then put a mat on the top and flip it and that keeps the gemstones on top once flipped,

[@BirdGardenChannel]

Ok that was some fresh material - interesting and entertaining! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@GSProspecting]

that was cool fam. thanks for trying something new fam. keep on panning fam. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!

[@daz41262010]

love these panning videos Shane and really cool to see a diamond pay dirt :)

[@everydaygood1820]

O.O diamond paydirt..... that's some out of the box thinking.... amazing!

[@MUDSWAT]

Stand in the center of two blocks at sea level. Dig down to lvl 12 go in any direction and you should find diamonds. This was cool, seems like a lot of fun to hunt for Diamonds!

[@48thstateprospecting]

Very interesting those look a lot bigger and the diamonds they use on diamond cutting blades for concrete and asphalt etc. I would be looking at those under magnification for hours thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻 PS yes that is a very cool ruby did that come out of a paydirt bag you did I’ve vaguely remember something like that

[@donaldscott7279]

When the light hits them in a certain way sparked against the darker material

[@rileytaylor1352]

What does the jet dry do? New to panning and would like to know how you separate precious things from the junk. Love the videos

[@Klesh]

That's a loaded question but it's all about technique and patience

[@purdyfuntimes239]

Just Subscribed! Thanks for the videos. I’m one of those people that live in Florida, where you can’t find gold lol. At least I can watch others have fun!

[@_eadsfishing_]

Got your paydirt in last week panned it out and got a niceeee pick heck yea man love the vids💪

[@lisalisameyer1077]

Diamonds!!!! What a great video!!

[@fpvoslo]

Hi Can you test out the vaselin method I'm curious Just for fun Was a panner myself for many years when living in North of Norway Thanks for sharing :) Yf.....

[@teamsignal17]

Too bad you couldn't melt those diamonds down for a bigger one. Always enjoy your content Shane! 🍻

[@Pitbull.Prospecting]

That one was really different but also a great job as usual have a great day Shane

[@opetja2279]

I remember when we study mineralogy at university (minig and geology) from a bunch of minerals there was one, the ugliest, it looked like slime, it was greenish in color and we all thought it was some of the cheapest mineral and later it turned out to be a diamond, be careful next the time you do that hahaha

[@barryfields2964]

I wish you would have got a weight on them. But you can get small industrial diamonds like those on eBay for like $3 a carat. What you’ve got there is worth basically nothing.

[@davepalmetto]

Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it

[@ModernProspector]

The dark material looked to be crushed up kimberlite but I'm not seeing any chrome diopside or pyrope garnets. Many diamondiferrous kimberlites that have been found recently barely have any kimberlitc indicator minerals.

[@Siegmeyer_]

I live in the UK! I’ve been watching your videos more and more. I might look if there are any places close to me where I can look for gold ect

[@ginge7945]

Same here, im in Wales and been thinking exactly the same

[@Siegmeyer_]

@@ginge7945 I hope you have some success in finding a spot mate :)

[@milesnn]

Cool video wow would take time for sure but well worth the experience excellent video again thank you

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Definitely not Lamproite host rock for Resorbed diamonds Also never use tweezers to handle small diamonds that are under 2 carat. That’s a good way to loose your diamond or gem.

[@glentimmins7560]

That diamond Miner Ivins seem to know diamonds pretty good!

[@rastamanralph6670]

Definitely different.👍 did you use a diamond tester to see if they are real?

[@Klesh]

Not necessary, I can tell just by looking they’re genuine

[@dougd.8925]

Do you use magnifying glasses to help you find the diamonds?

[@Klesh]

Luckily for me I have 20/10 vision thanks to lasik surgery, magnifying glass can help though but certainly not needed

[@ilonamollema6467]

That was quite entertaining! Never heard of diamond paydirt before. Maybe watch your tailings under a microscope to see if you've missed one? Although all that work for such a tiny diamond is probably not worth doing it.

[@bam-skater]

I think your 'weird shaped stone' at the beginning is an old piece of pottery.

[@gregj4857]

The rocky material is probably kimberlite, you should shine a uv light on the diamonds and see if they glow.

[@Klesh]

Not kimberlite. Good idea with the UV light

[@beverlyoliverrocks]

😂 Think I might go blind if I had to pick out those diamonds! Fun but tedious. Thanks!

[@GotEmGang]

I did alot of Sidewalk Prospecting yesterday. Haven't went through it or panned it yet

[@sirbenji9272]

Very cool loved the video.

[@heavymeadowdetective192]

Good stuff Shane!

[@VoGusProspecting]

Yay! Klesh video! Show me them shiny, inspiring, pretty bits of carbon!

[@Residentevil08]

Time for some Dinner and Klesh

[@jeffreyfoerster1415]

That bag looks like a paper M.R.E. bag. I'm sure it tastes better as well.

[@mretherrobertwarner5123]

nice to see another vid, when coin stream???

[@Klesh]

Haven't had time for coins lately. Maybe during winter?

[@thgingerbreadman]

I love these good stuff

[@rond227]

Very cool.

You should check out crater of diamonds in Arkansas

[@lVlalicious]

This was so cool

[@vidsbykal185]

Love the videos man, great info! Keep up the good work

[@cooperwinter7264]

Love the change! Thank you for the video as always!

[@drpikegeologist]

the gravel looks like kimberlite- the host rock diamonds form in...

[@Klesh]

The kimberlites I have are much more heavy, mafic material

[@koalaman9585]

[@gyvren]

Proud 42%’r! 😉

[@eva4484]

Enjoyable video….👍

[@jhsplaya]

Use a UV light and a lot should shine different colors…

[@hicknopunk]

How do you have any idea as to the value of diamonds? I feel like that is an occupation.

[@Klesh]

The value of anything is determined first by the price people have paid.

[@hicknopunk]

@@Klesh so the real diamonds were the friends I made along the way? 😉

[@jaq5918]

im proud to be one of the 42% 😁

[@Klesh]

Thanks

[@paddlesouth]

Crushed Kimberlite?

[@Klesh]

Not Kimberlite

[@johanadam984]

Real nice 👍

[@Klesh]

Thanks 👍

[@Mr.Potato420]

you should head to Arkansans and do a collab with DIAMOND MINER

[@Klesh]

He visited me in Colorado last year , we did a video together mission accomplished 👍

Most diamonds are found in volcanic fields

[@DibDibbersen]

In my very next Video I´ll do something very similar. Nice you did it already, so I know how to handle that stuff :-)

[@krakhedd]

Looks volcanic...pumice

[@joemfk1]

Very cool. Interesting. Thanks man

[@RMGenetics]

Nice one!! ;p

[@jacass1020]

Nicee

[@stephenfowler4115]

Panning isn't the best way to sort this type of material for diamonds.

[@oscaralcaraz3]

Looks like lots of fun. Did you hear about the lady from California? She went to the state park in Arkansas. The one with the diamond mine open to the public and found a 4.38 carat yellow diamond. It was around Oct 3rd.

[@beckscald3855]

Interesting to see paydirt with other materials in it. Nice.

[@Projectoxcart]

You need a Diamond Tester

[@Klesh]

I have a diamond tester

[@samueljames9342]

Maybe volcanic rock?

[@lametron]

5:33 hahahaha

[@Famo59]

Hi Shane Best to have them on micro mesh and have a tub of water 💦 and swirl the pan around in circles and you precious stones like sapphires and Diamonds 💎 should be in the middle of your mesh panning screen.. Cheers Famo59 👍🍻🤓⛏

[@-Jeremiah-]

Nice work!

[@shanefowkes7451]

The odd shapes are unrefined flint, this *dirt* looks like shale kinda like slate but a lot loosed and higher in carbon molecules

[@ShirlBussman]

Hey Klesh ! Did I hear you say that you might stop making YT videos? I don't think you will but I hope not. This is the only way I would get a diamond. LOL ! 🌎☮😊

[@Klesh]

No plans on quitting KZbin, it’s too much fun!

klesh...you should've tested them with that digital diamond 💎 tester thingy dude 🤷‍♂️

[@waynegray4248]

Mr.wayne Anderson gray 😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@teliots]

Diamonds are not particularly dense, so it doesn't surprise me that you had trouble panning. They are around half as dense as black sand.

[@imafackinjunglist]

“Let’s take a look at it in the pan. Nice!” 😂😂😂

[@PATTHECATMCD]

Part of that material looked like blast furnace slag to me. Iron stone without the iron, clinkers from the burnt up coal. The big pink bit might have been a pottery shard that went throuh and got really heated up.

[@davidkelly1298]

That was pretty cool

[@myfalconry76]

Kimberlite

[@TheRealChetManley]

You should try one of those gold pans shaped like a witches hat that the guy in Australia used. The diamonds being heavy should fall to the bottom of that cone and you can pour off the dirt.

[@thesurfingprospector6345]

Cool never seen diamonds 💍 like this Col Shane CrouchOz

[@josephpecoul6532]

[@NefariousEnough]
