Glad you liked it!

[@TheJenjo3]

When I was a kid my dad had a claim @ wolf creek, Prescott, AZ. Some of my best memories come from there. I miss the creek sounds. Been stuck in the city for too long. Peace!

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thats really neat ! I live right near there.

[@lynezhershey9174]

Looks like it was a beautiful day! Nice video!!!

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thanks !

[@Brenda-qm4sy]

Thx for the Video's I sure enjoy them.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching !

[@daviddurflinger3104]

That's awesome, I started watching the video, and told my wife, gee that looks like Linx creek, a couple of years ago we spent a couple of days there ,while I was panning down by the creek Elvira was sitting in camp reading a book, and a herd of wild pigs ran through camp, knocked over the barbecue, she screamed and I came a running but they were gone as fast as they came, it's a fun place in July, awful cold in winter.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

That's awesome!!

[@darkh2o716]

Congrats on the nugget. That is a nice one.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thanks man !!

[@bradwelch7425]

Heck, you say there is not enough water, wish I had water in the gullies we crevice in. Well done, good video, i just posted my couple of first video up on the tube. With this lock down I am just itchin to get back out there for a dig, gotta love that yellow. Cheers Brad

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

I will check it out , thank you for watching ! P.S. I was just kidding about the water

[@frankieboy2417]

Ever try the Fossicker Pyramid Pan

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Once you are a seasoned panner, just a regular pan will get the job done. Dont fall for the gimmics, they are all the same principal, and the simpler the better.

[@DaleDuffy]

Good video, Adam...thanks again...!

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thanks , I appreciate It !

[@aumetalmental8403]

What a beautiful day to be out for a walk about with a few bits of insperation as a kicker. 😎✌️

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Yes , it was , and thank you for being here to watch the video!

[@GramCanyonSam]

Great upload adam, I've been up lynx before I wish I had more time to explore the area. There was a few places headed over the hill to I liked alot. Maybe next time! And who knows maybe the Adam's can get together for a pan! ⛏😎⛰

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Yeah, if I spent more time there , I could likely dig down to some virgin gravels on bedrock somewhere, and get some nice pieces. Thanks for watching!

[@GramCanyonSam]

@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK rose creek had some nice looking spots too. I was so sick the day I went down there though. The first year I crossed the country for the first time ever I was allergic to plant life and it started at the petrified forest and by the time I hit Prescott it was crazy bad. That's ultimately why I had to leave after only 3 days. Some day I'll be back though alot has changed I think I mite be better off next round. Hope to meet up with you guys at some point to. ⛏-adam

[@brycem9180]

Rose is closed... thanks to idiots trashing the place and homeless people living down there!

[@Prospectingforfun]

Thanks for the video, nice job. Do you know if a hand dredge/yabbi pump is legal at lynx?

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Using a handmade suction device with like PVC, or something is totally fine.

[@allansgoldmining]

Looks like a good place for a high banker. Nice gold Adam !!

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Agreed !! Be safe !

[@EdwardGomillion]

I was at Lynx yesterday in the Bannie Mine area. It was PACKED with people. All more than 6 feet away from each other of course. Still a great day. Phoenix 104F., Walker 83F.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Yeah , its almost always nice down in the pine trees ....Sounds like a lot of people though. The panning ( withdrawl area ) is like 7 miles long so you can hike up or down stream quite a ways to get away from the people

[@brethamilton3603]

Loved it ill be going there some day.thx

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Awesome ! Thank you

[@s.d.iprospecting4359]

Flood gravels in my area are typically rich in fines,many people over look flood gravels. I always test the layers starting with flood gravels especially when i work gravel benches.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Great tip!

[@adrianguzman5431]

I was there last year in March. That creek was a raging river!!! Only found a few specs but can't wait to head that way again. Not much gold panning to do in El Paso, TX.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Yeah, it can sure be fun !! Good luck next time you come out to AZ !

[@andyamysarizonaadventures5450]

Playing in the water,dude did you notice that mountain lion go up the hill right behind you!?🤣 my best lynx pan was off bannie 15 years ago a .3 and a .4 in one pan

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Very nice !! The big deep holes punched to bedrock can yield some good gold too.... thanks for tuning in !!

[@raymondcoggins297]

Good to see your healthy good video stay safe my friend not gonna get rich but y'all get to get out and enjoy nature and find nice gold

[@adaml.4076]

👍👍👍👍

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

awesome , Thank you !

[@huckfinnsj]

I have panned several times at Lynx Creek (about 6 years ago) and found almost 1 gram (total). I went down the bumpy road to the federal public panning area (near the outhouse), went upstream towards the lake and crossed and went halfway up the small slope. The ranger said it was ok to pan from that side, so I did. I must have hit a spot everyone else missed as I found so much (about 3 feet underground). I filled the hole each time and returned to the same spot.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thats awesome , glad to hear you are doing well there !!

[@michealklonowski5267]

And you know what jeff Williams would say lol thank you for sharing.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Ha ha , thanks for watching!!

[@lesterleporesr5228]

Nice to see ya "mixing it up" a bit!

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

I know right !! Thank you so much for watching !

[@tunafish3216]

Great video.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thank you ! I genuinely appreciate that !

[@solace6717]

Again, another great video. Keep your hopes up finding gold, it it was easy everyone would be doing it! Can't win the lottery if you don't have a ticket - every bit of golf counts!

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Hey , thank you for tuning in !!!

[@arizonagoldnuggetventures5564]

Hey Adam,....Cool!!!!! I was just down stream ( a few miles) of where you were that day doing some Skimming, and metal detecting. Yep, this time of year it's time to transition from the lower desert areas to up here where the heat is at least bearable, and their is still a cool breeze blowing in the pines. One of these days maybe we can meet up and do some exploring for some patches???? Gary

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Cool, maybe we can meet up some day ! Thanks for watching, and happy hunting !

[@cjadair3]

Right on!! Changin things up a little. Got some gold. Was a good day! 😉

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Ha ha , yeah ....the heat is on

[@Rob-mt6ur]

Call that's Bush cats claw or like we call it No Go bush

[@pank524]

Cool I live in Mesa always wanted to go up there nice video sometimes u can find the best gold in the cracks

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Agreed !! Get up there while the water is going !

[@jamespyritz9825]

Cool thanks fun times

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Agreed ! Thank you

[@titsmcgee57]

So, I’ve seen some vids of people using metal detectors down there. I asked a park ranger today if it’s allowed at Lynx Creek and short answer is: No. not for mining/finding gold. However, you can use a metal detector down there to look for metal objects (yes, I know gold is metal lol). She said the rule was strange and not clear and laughed while answering my question because even she found it weird to explain, but it answered my question since the rules are poorly written for this area on metal detecting.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Well, I wouldnt dare metal detect down there unless it was on virgin bedrock. Theres just so much trash in that creek, as it has been mined several times. Sounds like it wouldnt be a big deal if you were detecting. Just say your looking for coins or something.

[@Blackhorseveteran]

My best day was down at Bannie mine. I got about 3 grams(40grains actual) in 15 pans out of a tailings pile. I was in another world. The dirt was real weird too...never seen it since either...and it all ended just like that. I tried for days to get some of the same. Anyways...nice nugget !! Cant wait to do a road trip and get out there again.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thats pretty amazing !! Well done , and thanks for watching

[@danzoller7397]

Yeehaww back to the basics ! Gold luck out yonder

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thanks , and Happy Hunting to you !

[@ruthfox2678]

Hi love watching your vids. Watch out for bears.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thank you so much for tuning in , I appreciate it !

[@mikefurness1598]

Almost right around the corner from my house by about five or six miles maybe a little more. Yeah Lynx Creek is a quick shot for me if I want to just get a gold fix. And as you say a pan and a small shovel or scoop even is good enough. Just to get a few flakes. Not going to get rich that's for sure out of that Creek. But it is fun as a change-of-pace for metal detecting. Enjoyed the video.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Hi Mike, yes it's a great escape ... right around the corner!

[@brycem9180]

Mike I envy you! I spend more in gas then the gold I find when I go up there!

[@washingtonbeachmining7736]

Nice to see something different from you. You did not go home empty panned.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thank you !!

[@robnutz09]

More vids like this please! All around arizona if possible

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

I would love to !! Thank you for tuning in !!

[@tadvanallen]

I didnt see the Mountain Lion Andy n Amy saw... But what a great area! are there Blackberrys up there? Or a wild rose of some sort? That was some thorns.... and great change of pace for video, but i thought you were gonna detect the bedrock.. but with that pan of Lead.. i guess not haha . Where theres lead ,should be gold as your pan showed.. great video Adam...

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thank you for watching !! The blackberrys I've seen in ponderosa park ...but I'm not on lynx very often

[@randallalan4221]

If it's a video about prospecting I'll enjoy it regardless about method of recovery! Wonder how one would do just dry-panning/sniping bedrock cracks where there is no water with all the natural drainages in that area?

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Im not sure ! Good Question!

[@MrDutchman100]

Chinese made that wall about 100+ years ago the area was cleaned out years ago. The gold your finding is flood gold. You want to find Big Gold, contact me.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Awesome , Thank you !!

[@celesteholden896]

I would like details!!!

[@peterevans8194]

Very much enjoyed the video, and it's a beautiful area...would you mind showing that little back pack and what kit you carry with you on trips like that?

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thank you very much !! I may do the gear check in another video. It's pretty minimalist...

[@wesolint]

Isn't this the same creek that "Propanner" was working 10 or so years ago? He was getting some nice gold, especially after a huge flood runoff. What ever happened to him, I wonder.....

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Yes it is the same area, and i`m not sure what ever happened to him. Think his name was John Lyon ?

[@wesolint]

@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK That's it! I bought a couple of his "pocket dredges" and still use them.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

@@wesolint Yeah , its a good idea !

[@richardduke9788]

Nice video !

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Thank you !!

[@diggersdentysonu.k.m.d8813]

Verry good video guys poped over to check it out very good hope your safe and well buddy from me and the uk if you get 5 min I have a Metaldetecting channel thanks for sharing I have subscribe and hit your bell

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

I will check it out

[@garryeversult5446]

Hi Adam, is Lynx creek a public panning area ?

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

From Lynx Lake upstream to the town of Walker is Public panning with hand tools only. Look up the Lynx creek mineral withdrawl area. It is set aside for this type of recreation.

[@petetracker3472]

Super Great Video!! I like that Lynx creek area! What makes a piece of Gold a Specimen??

[@tadvanallen]

If the gold is still intact with its host(rock/quartz ect or whatever it us stuck on... they call it a specimen..

[@1607rosie]

Are you allowed to take a hi banker or power sluice in there?

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

No , I do not believe so . No mechanized equipment... Thanks for watching !

[@working.on.it.2852]

Goose berries bush

[@andyamysarizonaadventures5450]

3 days on the claim drywashing memorial weekend! ..if it doesn't rain like the day before

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Excellent, I look forward to a video !

[@frankieboy2417]

How close can you can camp there

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Lynx lake has a great campground, but they do close in the winter so , inquire within.

[@mretherrobertwarner5123]

you going to check that hole this summer I bet you find some good stuff in there

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Dig deep on old benches, and you may be rewarded.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Ok, thank you

[@johnmarlin4661]

Gotta get up there now the heats upon us LOL

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Yep, its a great place to beat the heat of the lower desert.... Thank you for watching !

[@phxbro1]

Great video , want to ask if metal detecting is okay at Lynx creek

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Yes it is ok , from what I understand

[@DJPJLezzGo]

Can anyone pan at that creek? Or do you have to have permissions from claim owners?

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

No claims. Anyone can pan. The area is set aside for recreational prospecting

[@DJPJLezzGo]

I BRAKE FOR BEDROCK awesome :) thanks for the reply :)

[@tombeilman5579]

Been there one time and probably got less than you

[@stephaniejacques2411]

why are you panning in in the fast water ???... And take the Lead home !!!

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

I have enough experience panning that it really does not matter what kind of water i use. I usually take trash home when I metal detect but it didnt really occur to me to do it here..next time. Sorry

[@ray4334]

Bravo. Way to dump that lead back onto the ground so someone else could find it.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

ha ha sorry, I didnt even notice I did that!...

[@Tengobaila3]

haahahha, Why are you broadcasting what should be your 'best kept secret'? I could get into panning for gold! AZ or Bust!

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

LOL.... Panning is way fun !!

[@royfields2750]

putting hands into holes ? hope you don't get a snakebite!

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Yikes !! Didnt even think about that lol

[@Uncle_Buzz]

That nugget wasn't from Lynx, right?

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

No sir it was not, I was just demonstrating that nice gold can be found in Roots and grass and stuff

[@Uncle_Buzz]

@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK Didn't think so...I've been to Lynx many times, never been skunked! Always gold to find. Thanks for sharing, Cheers - C.

[@SHODGES69]

6:47 is it just me or does that rock look like a person that even has a face or am I tripping 😮

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

Lol , I will have to look on my laptop when I get home
