Sometimes you just gotta put in the work! Nice job!👍

[@hipbeeexplorer]

I haven't been able to get back their since. It's a long walk. I will next year.

Black tourmaline it is probably very light as well not heavy they're usually very fragile

[@MrMeck58]

enjoyed the video....suspect that black crystal is tourmaline......garnets are roundish

[@hipbeeexplorer]

Garnets can be black and elongated...it could be black tourmaline

[@northeastprospector]

You must already know by now. That crystal is staurolite 😁.

[@hipbeeexplorer]

I didn’t. Many people have said a salt crystal.

[@northeastprospector]

@@hipbeeexplorer definitely a staurolite that has been rolling around in the river 😀🐝

[@northeastprospector]

@@hipbeeexplorer if it was salt it wouldn’t make it long in the water 😂 give it a lick 👅

Have you guys ever heard of gold in Aroostook county Maine?

[@hipbeeexplorer]

I've never panned up there but I have canoed the length of the St. Johns river. I bet there is gold in that.

[@GSProspecting]

WOW, great video fam. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!

[@hipbeeexplorer]

Thank you for watching and for your support. Peace.

[@outdoorwally8430]

This spot

[@hipbeeexplorer]

Yeah, we never really did finish that. It's a good area there. Tom and I pulled a .5g each out of that spot one day. The next time we went back it's wasn't as good but there was still good gold. I want to check across the brook from this site.

[@timjohnson9406]

Could be schrol, black tourmaline. That must be tough filming and planning. I can't wait to get back out!!!

[@hipbeeexplorer]

I haven't been back to that spot since we went back for the video "The Great Prospector Showdown"....There is good gold there but it's a long walk. I had knee problems last year and couldn't walk out there. I'm hoping to get back there this year. Peace.

[@panno16]

Thank you for showing real life panning. I keep trying to persevere after my initial disappointments. I appreciate you showing perfect spots to try, and that even the perfect spots don't always produce.

[@hipbeeexplorer]

If it was easy everybody would be doing it. Thank you for watching and for your support.

[@jeremysaunders9003]

Another great video really nice looking gold, wish I was there. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Thank you for watching and your support. Peace.

[@rogerlane5890]

Have you confirmed if that was a piece of garnet? I was wondering if it was black tourmaline or smoky quartz? Have you been back to this spot? It sure looked nice other than having to climb over all of those blowdowns.

[@hipbeeexplorer]

Actually, we have never been back to this spot. I may someday but it's a walk.

[@PartridgeFamilyProspecting]

Great job! We love it up there! Maybe we will see ya where are river crosses

[@hipbeeexplorer]

Thank you for watching and your support. Ya never know the rivers lead to many places.

[@ericcarrarra4566]

Have you ever used a metal detector?

[@hipbeeexplorer]

yes, Here in the northeast youwon't =ind nuggets on the surface. They =are deep on bedrock.

[@petermarshall582]

Is there any gold phone in the middle of the river

[@hipbeeexplorer]

Thank you for watching and the question. There may be gold in the areas where there is water. I've learned over the years that gold in the river channel that has water in it all season usually is very deep and I would have to dig through the water. Unless I see bedrock I'm not going to waste my time digging in the water. The gravel bars can hold large amounts of gold close to the surface so I find digging in those areas easier and more profitable.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Always takes a while to learn a new area good stuff

[@hipbeeexplorer]

Yes it does. Going to another new area next week. Thank you for watching and your support. Peace.

[@bodie7020]

Gold prospecting is very tough in Massachusetts, and indeed New England itself is not known to have much in the way of gold deposits. I commend your efforts, and wish you all the best of luck prospecting the area. Hope you find a great source of "color" . ~Bodie.

[@bodie7020]

Wow @ 10:42 that is the best ban I have ever seen come out of this area.. Way to hunt down the sources!

[@bodie7020]

and more 12:13 15:23 16:48 18:29 WOW

[@hipbeeexplorer]

Thank you for watching and thank you for your support. I enjoy it as a hobby and an excuse to be out on the river. Just got back from a trip to the Wild Ammonoosuc River. New Video every Wednesday. Peace.

[@bodie7020]

May you find happiness at the end of every road. (And in every pan.)

[@timfrisk8944]

that crystal you found is black beryl

[@hipbeeexplorer]

Thank you for letting me know. I wasn't sure what it was but it was different. Peace.

[@joaoneto9363]

Wonderful chanel

Thank you for watching and your support. New Video every wednesday

[@philanderson3687]

There are some beautiful little brooks in the White Mountains. I was walking around at Tunnel Brook for the first time a few days ago, I am amazed at how much terra-firma the water pushes around.

[@hipbeeexplorer]

Thank you for watching. Yes, Tunnel Brook is a great place. I've been there a few times.

[@bodie7020]

Love your intro... reminded me of another prospector named Dan Hurd in Canada..

[@hipbeeexplorer]

I watch Dan all the time. He makes great videos. Colorful Character.
