Sunday Gold Mining in Minnesota,

[@Frackingcyclon]

The humor is the real gold.😂

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Got to add something! I’m not on a Dan Hurd claim so I need a little extra.

[@adamgale6484]

Love, your videos found a lot of gold myself here in Minnesota. Mostly Central Minnesota. Love your shirt . Bjj !!!

[@mitchhoihjelle]

Some of the best humor around down right hilarious! When iam blue i watch these video’s and i just smile

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

That’s great to hear!

[@toddrodgers5108]

Good fun and great information.

[@ThinkTexas]

Thanks for sharing what is happening in Minnesota. Keep the fun going

[@Wiedadde]

Love your videos, and you're totally right: do this for fun. River gold is worth a lot less since it isn't as pure.

[@NightBandit13]

I LOVE your attitude. Having fun is worth way more than people think. Great videos, keep them coming.

[@thomaswolf6507]

I do this just for my mental health sometimes, lol

[@GSProspecting]

Great day out there getting that Au fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

[@mandybrown7758]

Great advice clean up and take care of the land💪🏽 your videos are great

[@DavidStock-fw1fj]

Great vids! 👍 thank you. Be good to see a Flour Gold Wizard link up. 👍

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

We will plan something for next season.

[@Bonamici]

Hi GGH! You have the right attityde to amateur prospecting!! I really like your movies 🙃💙💛

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I do my best!

[@markforrester1888]

New to the channel. You find even less than pioneer Pauly and have just as much fun doing it. I'm hooked.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

😆 he finds more in one little nugget than all the specks I’ve ever found.

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Love the humor in your videos! I'm from Minnesota also. Nice to know there is gold here. 😊

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

There’s not a lot but if you keep your expectations low you can have fun collecting specks.

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

@GlacialGoldHunter some is better than none! Keep up the awesome work on your videos! 😊

[@traverfields3768]

I have no desire to start panning for gold, but I have been thoroughly enjoying your videos! One video idea - use only what the first 49ers would use (equipment, clothing). Keep it up! 👍🏼

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Oh I like that idea. I’ll have to save that for next year.

[@cindylundgren1924]

Nice Job! Looks like so much fun!

[@DavidCeplecha]

Hey searching couch coushions funny ! Waiting for you to break the shovel handle - I've done that digging just plain rocks on the farm ! You are making me go look for Gold in MN - Maybe I should take a cold beer along . Thanks !! Happy Hunting !

[@jewald1981]

Gives me the feeling I'm at work when I'm not at work whenever you're around that area! Haha. I hear the train sounds across the street and immediately I'm back there like a day or two ago. Hahaha!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

😆 yeah. Those trains never stop.

[@milkmanchoppers]

19 specs!!!! That's awesome!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

You counted 😆😃

[@HeavyMetalProspector]

Love the video, thanks for all the information, it’s helped a lot in the field

[@johnskwor9341]

Great video and you got some more gold, awesome! Love watching your videos , I get to learn something and get a few laughs. I hope you didn’t get hurt when you fell. I’m sorry for laughing at that but it was funny. Thanks again for the video.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Not the first times I’ve fallen and won’t be the last.

[@johnskwor9341]

@@GlacialGoldHunter lol, same goes for me also. Just keep the videos coming. Thanks

[@WaltHaas]

70 yr old prospector here Glad you an others remind people to fill thier holes with the tailings. 😊 One other pet pea of mine is TEAR DOWN YOUR SLUICE DAMS!. We here in Michigan are already losing SLUICEING rights left an right. P.S. Love watching u'r videos

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Yeah good rule of thumb is to make it look like no one was there.

[@bubbabombas3764]

Love your videos informative and entertaining

[@chrissibersky4617]

I love your attitude. I'm glad to see your channel is growing. Hopefully that can be your gold mine in the future. But your attitude tells me that you post videos just for fun. I'm thankful for it. Thank you.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

We’ll see where the channel goes but yes if it wasn’t fun I wouldn’t do it.

[@patyjr1]

Go gold, real and fun videos , I like that,

[@PastorSteve-nz2er]

Just discovered this vein on KZbin. Subscribed. As a transplanted NE Nebraskan to NW Minnesota, southeast shorelines of Lake Aggasiz, what I appreciate more is your accent. If the brothers ever make a Fargo Two, please try out.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Oh for sure, yeah. 😆

[@PastorSteve-nz2er]

You betcha. You'd be a shoein, don't cha'know.

[@firechicken455adventures]

Slowly filling the vile. Keep getting out there and having fun.

[@NewWindable]

This is like my Saturday Morning Cartoons, Turtle Power!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Oh I watched the turtles every Saturday.

[@FASKY2788]

Nice work! good stuff, really enjoy.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Thanks for watching!

[@ChrisBrown-ed1dr]

Awesome video. Love seeing some color in Minnesota. I've been trying to find a good spot in Dakota County.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Oh there should be some there. Try to find a stream with some faster moving water and a gravel bar and you should be able to find some.

[@ChrisBrown-ed1dr]

@@GlacialGoldHunter Thanks ill let you know how I do.

[@AlanB8316]

Hard to say there is such a thing as a good spot for gold in Dakota county but I have gotten gold on th the vermillion, zumbro and cannon.

[@ChrisBrown-ed1dr]

@@AlanB8316 Thanks for the tips Alan. I did find a spot with a ton of black sands, half of it is magnetic, but the gold can't be seen without a magnifying glass and there is very little. I may try cooking off the non magnetics and see what's locked in those sulfides because it's close to home lol.

[@jalfonsorio]

Hi neighbors. I'm in scott county. So fun to watch you get gold here in minnesota! Ive always wanted to go, just to say I did it

[@Hornsup18]

I really hope you get a lot more attention, these vids are amazing!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Thank you! 😊

[@donbrearley3148]

Thanks for another great video! Thanks for continuing to promote good environmental stewardship, it only takes a minute!

[@americaswildestprospector]

It sucks being in Washington because gold panning season is rather short. Entertaining video

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I’m sure there is a lot better gold to be found there though.

[@CraigJohnston-z1x]

As a fellow Scott I love the nod to Tom Stoltman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@harrygrimley4352]

I don't have a Menards near me. Could i use hime depot bucket instead? 😅. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this with us

[@kindnessworks71]

Yes you can

[@cbaci]

Ace or NOTHING! ;)

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I don’t think Home Depot buckets work. Better drive to a Menards just to be safe.

[@calebanderson9826]

Leeches are pretty nasty. When I was 12 I went on a father / son Men’s retreat up in Ely for my church. My dad’s buddy dared me to put a live leech in my mouth for a minute for $2. That was easy money so I quickly tossed one of the leeches from his bait can into my mouth. A crowd soon formed around me and the fathers and sons cheered as I got closer to the 1 minute mark. I think I was trying to impress the “cool older guys”, when I decided to prove my manliness by swallowing the leech. I swallowed the leech right after the countdown finished, and my dad walked up and discovered what his “buddy” had been paying me to do. The rest of the trip my dad freaked out about how the leech was living in my stomach and going to steal all the nutrients for the next decade. It freaked me out and now I hate leeches and wouldn’t put one in my mouth again for $5! I love your videos, keep up the good work!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

😂 I hope use spent that $2 wisely.

[@lisanicholson9482]

Can’t keep a good man down! 😂

[@xuthuschannel5061]

Take only memories and a little gold if you’re lucky and leave only footprints

[@Frackingcyclon]

Get that gold!

[@AndrewWelling]

Hey, suck it up! Easiest diy I've made...😮.good video even though j started watching.. happy Prospecting, Thanksgiving..

[@AndrewWelling]

Yep ya need a hand dreg..2 in. With reducer too 3/4 in. Fer cracks, removable wing bolt hold it.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I’ll have to build one.

[@azwelke2638]

Cobbles🍻

[@FlourgoldWizards]

I second that ✅🍻

[@carlmadley]

Keep it up the motherlode is in the next scoop

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I hope so! 😃

[@lisanicholson9482]

5 WHOLE specs?!!?! LOL 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

That’s 5 specks I didn’t have before!

[@jodietice1817]

Come out to Idaho and we will show you around, and find gold too!!!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Oh that would be fun!

[@thomaswolf6507]

Do you pan in the winter? Wondering if I will be myself. Picking up a new sluice and building a recirculating system for flour gold. Live in the Driftless Area.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I’m not much for the winter outings.

[@chrissmith4713]

@6:35....perhaps the term you meant to use was "Quartz-shadowing"😅

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Good call 😆

[@digitized4u]

I sure enjoy your style of content. I hope that you can make it during the winter months. What's your name ? Keep up the good work : )

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I’ve got several weeks worth of videos saved up and a few winter ideas but winter might be pretty slow for content. We’ll see.

[@dkizzy55]

You MUST try my Nugget Bucket method instead of speed panning. You could get through that entire bucket of concentrates in a third of the time. Plus it's allowed here in MN 🙂

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I will have to give it a try.

you only have so many bend overs, bring a extra bucket! your back and knees will thank you when your older! thanks for the share! stay awesome!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

That’s a good tip.

[@Englishkyle]

I saw a video where FGW gave you a shout out. That’s cool, you guys should do a collaboration. That would be awesome.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

That would be fun for sure.

[@FlourgoldWizards]

Agreed 🍻

[@Englishkyle]

@ that’s so awesome I’m glad you saw this!!

[@AlanB8316]

The only two youtube channels I subscribe to are in this thread. Pretty awesome... I look forward to the collaboration

[@danschafer4347]

It's all about the time and the fun of doing it if get 1 spec or a gram

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

That’s right!

[@schlaffs-pi6wp]

Hey love your vids man i was wondering if there us gold in carlton vounty mn

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

It definitely has the potential for it. I haven’t looked there though.

[@schlaffs-pi6wp]

@GlacialGoldHunter ok, thank you for the feedback have fun panning!

[@Lonebuild]

Well, I did go to a "likely" spot before the ground froze and took out 4 buckets full of gravel with a little bit of black dirt mixed with it. I'm waiting on my pan to arrive now. I'm bored outa me mind today so ima make a classifier and work on that. I'll keep you posted

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Hopefully you picked a gold bearing spot to dig! Hard to know without testing sometimes. Let me know!

[@EMFMiner]

holy smokes! did that pair of sandals last the whole mining season?

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

They did! And I bought them used for $10. I have waders now though.

[@ecyaj1289]

How long does it take to edit your vids? It's snowing in minnesota

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Rule of thumb if about an hour of editing per minute of video time. Also, I can film 2 videos in one week end, but I only release 1 a week. So I have a back log of videos.

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

I wonder if there were any true rebels in history who were panning for the perfect cobble collection?

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Oh I’m sure there are some spectacular cobble collections.

[@azwelke2638]

Do you need any special permission in Minnesota for panning? Like do you need a fishing/ hunting license to be on the state land?

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

No. Not that I’m aware of. You can’t pan in a state park. You can’t use mechanical equipment and that’s the basic rule.

[@dkizzy55]

The State of Minnesota defines recreational gold prospecting as an activity involving limited use of hand-held, non-mechanical, non-motorized tools such as a gold pan and hand shovel or other hand tools for digging and classifying material. The gold panning activity must have a minimum impact on the area prospected. Minimum impacts would be the same type of impacts as caused by wading or swimming. Gold panning must not disturb fish and aquatic plant habitat and may not be conducted in areas where mineral collecting activities are prohibited, such as state parks. The State does not require a permit for this type of recreational activity in the state-owned beds of streams, rivers and lakes. Use of a sluice or dredge in the beds of Minnesota’s streams, rivers, and lakes is considered to be a commercial activity. This commercial activity is regulated and permits are required. The Department’s conservation officers and local peace officers may prohibit activities at specific sites when they find damage is occurring or may occur. Fish spawning season, the number of individuals along a confined stretch of water, or other sensitivity of the area may result in the panning activities being prohibited. No one should pan in the bed of a designated trout stream without first contacting the Department’s local Area Fisheries Manager. The Area Hydrologist also may be contacted to help identify natural resource concerns.

[@harrygrimley4352]

That's very interesting sir. Thanks for sharing this with us ​@@dkizzy55

[@raymondcoriz9500]

How many baby blood suckers do you find between your toes? I was in Michigan a couple years ago panning in sandles and when I got home there were like 8 of those suckers. He kids had them also. We found gold but the suckers, yuck! A little beer and they danced right off. Heavy pans. When you come to Colorado look me up.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I’ve found a few on my feet but never between my toes. Not yet anyway.

[@TM-ev2tc]

Maybe you can find more gold in a bag of Home Depot Sand.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Probably not around MN. I don’t think they source sand too far away. The sand in those videos was from gold baring areas. But it would be worth a video.

[@TM-ev2tc]

@GlacialGoldHunter I was mostly just joking. Have a good day and heavy pans.

[@mrrick3999]

I would have expected to see you find some blood suckers between your toes..... That's where I usually get them. 🤪

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Yeah. That’s the risk of sandals.
