Southern Umpqua River - Gravel Bar Gold Prospecting

[@ANDYTHRAXX]

Very nice!! I like you’re cleanup sluice that’s a killer setup. Keep up the hard work, I dig it!!😀

[@ogreknite1220]

Remember it's not about having the gold, It's about finding enough gold so you can sell it, and so you can buy better equipment so you can find more gold. I started going down there last year and love working the umpqua. Thanks for th video and keep them coming.

[@510prospecting]

Totally agree! Thanks for watching. Hope to have new content up soon. Gonna try to find some rocks to wash this weekend.

[@robertwolfe2971]

Need a mini gold cube to process material faster.

[@kevinsmith1558]

We hope you get back at it & post more videos. Very much enjoy your adventures.

[@510prospecting]

We have at least one video to edit and release. We were going to go out today but water levels shot way up the last few days. Going to try to get out more this summer. Thanks for the kind words!

[@jeffersonstategold8349]

Awesome! Somehow missed this one! Look forward to the next time we meet!

[@510prospecting]

We did alright that day. And same to you!

[@ricasorensen298]

Great vid! That’s very creative DIY sluice! 😁

[@draker541]

Some good color in there!

[@rodb1646]

Hi from Australia. Looking forward to getting out to the creeks again. Sick of lockdown

[@510prospecting]

Hang in there! The gold is still there waiting for you. Thanks for watching!

[@hungryprospectors9260]

Hey like I say it’s more gold than you had the day before! Nice work 😉 keep at it…heavy pans guys, thanks for sharing! 👍⛏

[@510prospecting]

This one took a while to clean up! We’ll be back when the water recedes in a few months. Thanks for watching!

[@kerzwhile]

Great job guys! Keep it up! 😉

[@510prospecting]

Thank you!

[@michaelsadventures4261]

Nice looking color.

[@bobmccoy6026]

Love that spot me and Jessica dig there a lot

[@510prospecting]

It’s a great spot! Thanks for watching

[@TheSluicers]

Awesome vid! Thats not bad colour per pan shame you couldnt get a sluice set up and process a ton of gravel. Keep up the good content!

[@510prospecting]

We could probably recirculate here. laws prevent us from running it into the river. We need more gear to concentrate it quicker. The clay is tough to work with but it’s consistent gold.

[@brentsmith981]

I like the v mat flare on the tail end for fine catch

[@510prospecting]

Thanks!

[@jeffsmidwestgoldadventures4593]

Nice job good 👍 gold lots of work but it’s fun just joined your channel l am into gold also it’s a great hobby take care guys Out for now

[@510prospecting]

It is a lot of work. But it never gets old seeing color in your pan. Thanks for watching!

[@randomadventures2.0]

New Subscriber here! Just found your channel. Tony

[@510prospecting]

We really appreciate your support! Thanks for watching.

[@bobmccoy6026]

I'll be digging there next week

[@510prospecting]

Hopefully the water level works in your favor! Enjoy! Thanks for watching.

[@graveyardprospecting]

I’ve been thinking if recirculating units like gold cubes and such are legal to run near the umpqua and the rogue. Watch out for ticks in that area! Good luck friend 👍😎

[@510prospecting]

No water near here in the summer. Few buckets from the river and your recirculating!

[@graveyardprospecting]

@@510prospecting that’s what I’m talking about👍

[@TheProvertskater]

I've been to lawson before but didn't know where to look. Now I know but yeah I wanted to point out next time take a pan from the layer riding the clay, one from the clay, and then also try to get at the bottom to see where the gold is being held. I live here in Springfield oregon and have a 4 stage gold cube with trommel if you ever need to use it I have no issue as long as you have your own battery. I'm kinda getting my 10 year old daughter into it but im more into hard rock mining self learning geology etc so she gets bored with that part, she just wants the gold.

[@510prospecting]

We’ve been to there a few times. The top 3-6” appear be where the deposit is. But I agree with your approach! We’re in Springfield too. Thanks for the offer on the cube. We have one now, but no trommel. That’s pretty killer! You ever hit up the bohemia area? Seems like better gold down south, but still fun to hit up local spots.

[@TheProvertskater]

Yeah I've done hobo camp allot. I'm planning on camping and exploring that area this summer mainly up by cat creek on the champion creek section

[@510prospecting]

There is an event at Lawson this Saturday. 10am. We’ll be there!

[@TheProvertskater]

@@510prospecting ahh man I'll be out jetty fishing Saturday

[@510prospecting]

@@TheProvertskater all good!

[@DaveR-lo6hq]

Do you know Pat Tanner from canyonville? trying to get in touch, we rode Submarines together

[@510prospecting]

Hi Dave, sorry we don’t know a Pat. Maybe check the southern Oregon gold prospectors group on Facebook.

[@nathannicholson5181]

I've just started panning at Lawson bar and so far I have found .45 gram

[@510prospecting]

Congrats to you! It’s fun

[@kennethgreene7124]

I usually carry a gun with me any time I go out in the woods just in case I come across a bear or cougar, unless I'm going close to some popular park.

[@510prospecting]

Yeah that’s the way to do it. I do the same now.

[@markarledge2010]

LOOKS LIKE DOLE BAR RECREATION AREA NEAR ROSEBURG OREGON

[@510prospecting]

Pretty close! I’m sure the pay is similar.

[@henrymuzgay1023]

the white rock is a quarts solfaed take all the white rock home mill it crush it it might have gold in the quarts test it by it self

[@510prospecting]

Will do!

[@snakeriverfisher]

all that work, time, effort, not to mention gas money for $3 worth of gold

[@510prospecting]

Thats how most hobbies work. We’re just having fun outdoors with friends and family. The gold is a bonus. Thanks for watching.

[@ogreknite1220]

Actually most hobbies don't have any cash payout. Any gold you get is more than you had before.

[@baronvonwarner]

my back yard

[@510prospecting]

Lucky! It’s a great area. Thanks for watching.

[@brocojack]

talc.

[@WrenchingRyan]

Who’s that kid with you?

[@510prospecting]

His name is Craig.

[@WrenchingRyan]

Cool name

[@spudnikholyghostroller7314]

Good thing it's a hobby because you are going to go broke doing it that way maybe you should consider investing into a dredge.

[@510prospecting]

Making money isn’t the goal. But we’ll get a dredge eventually. Not a lot of places where it can be used legally. Most waterways in Oregon are protected due to salmon habitat. Thanks for watching!

[@SaraJean85]

Quarts degradation

[@510prospecting]

Ah ha! Thank you. Maybe I should have put that in a pan.

[@ryos251]

Hardly seems worth all the effort and time

[@510prospecting]

Fun is in the hunt.
