Testing Out My New Gold Cube

I finally bought a gold cube, after years of wanting one. I have some preimum dirt to try out on it. My dad was an excellent prospector and he sent me the material that I am using to test the gold cube in this video. I dedicate this video to his memory.

Great video! I have the cube with the trommel and love it. Also have the blue bowl and a spiral wheel to help separate black sands from gold. Nice dedication to your dad as well. RIP August😢😢

Thank you! I can't wait for the trommel to come in, it will be such a time saver out in the field. I will have to check out that spiral wheel, finish panning takes a long time the old school way.

I also have the gold cube w trommel. I will say this, a slick plate catches NO gold, get you some v groove matting and silicone it down, don't use anything too permanent. Always use some jet dry, when panning flour gold Always rock back and forth. Never swip or swirl your pan. Looking good , heavy pans. If you get agold wheel get the big 24" one. Cobbles

Thank you for the advice, I will get a mat for that slick plate for sure. It will take me a little bit, but I am sure I will get that panning technique down. I did lose a bit by swirling the pan, but I will run it all back through again to catch what I lost and use it to practice panning. I am going to look into that gold wheel, I have been hearing good things about it.

I just ran across your channel, depending on where abouts your located maybe we could detect together. I'm in Lapeer and have detected for over 35 yrs. Knowledge is key when detecting and the difference between finding trash or treasures! No pressure, just thought I'd throw that out there. Great vid, I'm sure your Dad is smiling. Nice looking Tom!

Thank you for watching! I am glad you enjoyed it. That would be really cool, I could use a few pointers for sure. I have been at it for a few years, but my really good finds have been few and far between. I live down by Three Rivers, but I am actually from Chesaning. That really is fairly close to Lapeer, and I am back in that area pretty regularly.

@@MyMIAdventures-cv4dt Great! Sounds like a chance to get together is possible. What kind of detector are you using? I'm using a Garrett A T Pro,, its a nice machine for finding coins. I've wanted to buy the Minelab monster 1000,which is an excellent gold nugget machine, but I've never known of gold in Mi.? But coins are a different story, Mi. has tons of them in the ground just waiting to be dug up. Ya just gotta know where to look...

[@MyMIAdventures-cv4dt]

Yes, it is definitely possible, I will leave my email below. I have the Garret AT Max, I think it really similar to the pro. I have yet to find a silver coin, I have found a few silver rings and some other jewelry, but really want to find some old coins. You are exactly right about knowing where to look. There is gold in MI most of it is glacial gold deposits, but there are some places that have higher concentrations. I have heard the Rouge River, a tributary to the Grand River, has produced nuggets. Might be worth looking into. [e-mail]

Wait a minute… you have a pet turkey??? That’s amazing 😂

It's a long story, but I actually have four pet turkeys... haha

Well done, thanks for sharing.

Fellow Michagander Grand Haven area wishing you well!!

[@MyMIAdventures-cv4dt]

Awesome, thanks for watching! Heavy pans!

[@billnolin9423]

Nice setup. I hope you get a lot of gold this summer. I just ordered a pan and looking forward to getting out and giving it a try. I don't think there is much in my area in Vermont but it will be fun anyway. Thanks for the video.

[@MyMIAdventures-cv4dt]

Thank you! You never know what you may find, do some research on where gold settles in rivers and streams and then start sampling some areas. You will definitely have fun getting out and trying. Good luck, I hope you turn up some good gold.

[@dirtypawsgoldadventures]

Awesome job. Nice shiny! New sub here.

[@MyMIAdventures-cv4dt]

Thank you! It's always awesome to see the glint of gold in the pan.

[@dirtypawsgoldadventures]

@@MyMIAdventures-cv4dt awesome sample your dad sent you. 👍

[@MyMIAdventures-cv4dt]

Yes it was, he had a knack for finding really good spots. The beach sand in Nome is known for having a ton of gold. They have regulated it quite a bit now, but people used to live on the beach in tents during the summer months and mine.

[@markstahl1638]

Don't know if you used JetDry but it is essential. I could be wrong but it also looked like the water was too fast. Just an observation that could provide more gold from that sand.

[@MyMIAdventures-cv4dt]

I appreciate the observation; you could certainly be right about the water flow. I did not use jet dry in the video, but I do usually use some Dawn dish soap when doing the cleanup. I should pick up some jet dry and try that, everyone seems to recommend it.
