Solo Gold Mining Operation | Total Season Results

After my step father passed away just two days before we got our permit to mine I vowed to keep going and finish the dream we shared, to live life with no regrets and go for the gold. Here we go!
Special thanks to bryan@mechanicalminer on KZbin for the videography work, its always a pleasure working with ya.

Rest in peace Dale. I'm sure he's looking down proud at you Andy for keeping the dream alive.

[@jodibrown7503]

I'm not crying. Are you crying? On a serious note, that was a wonderful tribute to your step-father. And speaking as a step parent, I'm 100% certain he was just as proud of you as he would have been if you were his own child. There's a certain pride a step parent feels when their step-kids take an interest in what they do and want to do that with you. Even more when they carry forward and apply all the things you taught them well beyond their teenage years. Without knowing Dale, I can guarantee he felt this pride with you. Can't wait to see more videos and hear about your journeys.

[@ImNaveedGul]

You are right Jodi

[@markfryer9880]

While finding the Gold is a dream come true, don't forget to take some time to appreciate the real gold in the countryside that you are working in. To my Australian eyes, your countryside is amazingly lush and green with vibrant colours and lots of water available. It must smell so fresh after it rains. That is the real gold, so take good care of your land and water.

[@centeroftheearthmining4095]

Awesome job Andy!!! Congrats!!! So happy for you! You and Bryan are the most inspirational miners I know!!!

[@goldpanr]

[@cdlocalz7542]

great pictures at the end thanks for sharing

[@catch22frubert]

Yo Andy, great season buddy. You are one of the most hard working, modest and relatable guys on KZbin doing the mining thing. Love the content, my friend. Keep it up, and ill be looking forward to the next project you got going with Dan Hurd. Can't wait to see your videos running the pay on that bench. I truly hope you guys can hit the million dollar mark between the two dig sites. That front half has good gold, so I know you are gonna be scraping the bedrock to get some chunky nuggets. Best of luck with everything! You guys deserve to strike it rich and find some golfball and baseball size nuggets!!

[@ANDYTHRAXX]

Gosh thats so nice! Thank you very much!! I really appreciate the kind comments. Stoked to share it and stoked you’re watching 😀🍻

[@rayarthur586]

Great video, sorry to hear about your step dad. The living have to keep on living though. Good luck.

[@willymakeit5172]

Fascinating journey and some of the best video I’ve seen. My stepdad passed away some years ago as well. There is a special place in heaven for the man who took on a mouthy 14 year old, my kid brother, and my mom who loved to argue. He would not argue with her, just walk off which made her even madder. It’s funny now to look back on it. Nine job on the mine. Much luck in the future.

[@ANDYTHRAXX]

Thankyou so much for the comment, you are so right with what you say. I appreciate you taking the time to write and watch the videos. 🙂🍻

[@twodudesonedredge]

Can’t wait for your next season
