Gosh what a sweet operation

[@allansgoldmining]

He could have done it without your sweatshirt ! 🤠⛏️⚒️👍👍👍😊

[@AgentM3tallion]

What a dream! Call me crazy, but I'm building my wash plant before I even find my plot. Been studying this for too many years to not begin somewhere!

[@GalderIncarnate]

Gold Fever is strong with this one.... Welcome!

[@ralphmcculley2085]

No big sponsors no big TV Crews just a man in his machines this is a good example of what one can do with a little bit of effort good calling this one Allen Arizona gold get out and get some

[@allansgoldmining]

You got that right ! No drama, exploding pipes, breakdowns, or rock trucks tipping over ! Just low and slow and easy as it goes. Best of all, his operation is paid for ! 🤠⛏️⚒️👍

[@GalderIncarnate]

Incredible wash plant. SO efficient...living the dream for sure =)

[@allansgoldmining]

Thanks ! I heard from Jason the other day. He's getting fired up for this season ! We had a blast out there ! 👍👍👍

[@ANDYTHRAXX]

Oh my goodness!! Look at his sweater!!!!😊❤

[@VendettaProspecting]

RIGHT!

[@allansgoldmining]

Yes Sir !!

[@dakota3206]

coolest small wash plant ever

[@richardbeee]

Every miners dream! Thanks for sharing, Allan🙂 Worked a hardrock plant like that. All by myself. I could dance to the tables thumping and nobody around to laugh at me. Was great!

[@allansgoldmining]

Bet you had fun ! 😉 Glad this show brought back old memories. Thanks for watching !

[@brentsmith981]

i really like the sluices. by widening the drops, you"ve lowered the water pressure, smoothed out the flow, and given the fine gold a greater chance to be caught by the riffles

[@allansgoldmining]

Yes, he did a really good job building it. Definitely catches fine gold. 👍

[@Pa.PatriotProspecting]

Now that's having some fun! The wife is game for a trip next summer! LOOK out Alaska! 😆😂🤣💪🏻👍🏻

[@allansgoldmining]

Yeehaw !! You folks are gonna love it. Three things I highly recommend to bring. A quality rainsuit, tall rubber boots, and 96% deet mosquito spray. 👍

[@joeburkett8493]

The guy knows how to make us envious ,great setup. Thanks Allan

[@allansgoldmining]

Yes he does ! Did a great job putting the plant together. Well thought out. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@kingmanazgold6233]

Great video there Allan, would love to get up there someday.....

[@allansgoldmining]

Start planning now, Chris ! You won't be disappointed ! Gold is everywhere !

[@jaredput]

Rockin' the ANDYTHRAXX hoodie. Nice to see the support for other small gold miners. Kick some butt and get that gold!

[@allansgoldmining]

You betcha ! and thanks for the great comments 👍 😀

[@UtmostOutdoors]

That's a fine looking bullet proof, flame proof Andythraxx Mining hoodie... and a nice looking operation as well!

[@allansgoldmining]

You got that right !! Jason has done well with this setup ! We are both fans of Andy too. Thanks for the great comments. Best of luck to you prospecting ! 🤠⛏️⚒️👍

[@GSProspecting]

That's how to get it done indeed fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

[@allansgoldmining]

Thanks Buddy ! Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck out there ! 🤠⛏️⚒️👍

[@MegaSalvatore13]

I wish one day i could be there out in the field gold mining ,,, that's what a man does.... Awesome 👌 👏

[@allansgoldmining]

Right on ! Nome is the place. I found gold everywhere !

[@ronheflin7848]

Nice operation i would love to get up there and do that

[@allansgoldmining]

C'mon up ! There's plenty of gold up here ! Start planning now. You won't be disappointed. 👍

[@philippineparadisechronicl411]

Yeah, I remember being up in Alaska and working with Augie for almost 10 years on and off I’d go on my days off to check out his plant that it’s an awesome awesome place

[@allansgoldmining]

Awesome !! Hope you found lots of gold up there. AKAU is fun place. Had a great time there, but should have stayed a couple more weeks. LOL !

[@VendettaProspecting]

10:05 that slab of quartz looked like the millennium falcon

[@allansgoldmining]

Haha ! That quartz and Schist takes all kinds of shapes. Lol !

[@Famo59]

Eureka Yeee Haaa Well done 👍. Great setup.. Thanks 🙏 for sharing this Allan. Cheers 🍻 Famo59⛏️

[@allansgoldmining]

Thanks Tony !!! Everyone's dream for sure ! Best to you out there. Spring/summer almost there. 👍👍👍

[@tortugalisa4748]

Yee Haw💥 That wash plant is an old beast and still loves chewing it all up and getting the job done🌟⛏️ I loved watching it in action! Super great filming💯 So cool he is a one man mining operation👍😃 Thanks Allan! Awesome topic.

[@allansgoldmining]

I think the has to be one of best set ups out here. Flows perfectly. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it !

[@rshutterbug47]

Awesome Set Up, I Would Say JUST RIGHT 👍👍👍👍👍😜

[@allansgoldmining]

I agree !! Perfect size. Who wouldn't want to do that ? Thanks for watching ! 👍

[@MrInsaint]

I`ll say; That's gold mining 101. And great filming too. You are the best in front of and behind the camera, Allan👍💯 And thank you for sharing.🙏

[@allansgoldmining]

Thank you Sir. Glad you enjoyed it. Was a fun video to put together. He got 10.1 grams. Not bad for 30 minute run !

[@rigel1176]

That's the way to do it "MOM and POP Mining" ...... Right size for the ground ....... less on overburden ,- overheads and earn a "Apple and an egg" 😂 Love it ! Don't transport the minable material to far ,- or drag the washplant around to much or the ground is chewed up to quick .....or ,- and waterproblems ......... Game over 😂 Aslong the wearing and welding part keeps in a certain way ..... fine !!!!!! Great to see !!!!

[@allansgoldmining]

Thanks Buddy ! We had a great time out there ! I agree, it's a good set up. Just right. Best of all, it's paid for itself. 👍🤠⛏️⚒️

[@greatbasingoldrush]

It's really cool seeing the set up. You are exclusively invited to come and film. My operation

[@allansgoldmining]

Glad you liked the video. Maybe we can plan a visit ? Email me at [e-mail]

[@FlourgoldWizards]

Dang was that cool !!! Who WOULD’NT want to do that??????

[@allansgoldmining]

Right ?? He did a clean out and got a little over 10 grams ! Not bad for 30 minutes ! Not sure if you're signed onto Prospecting Buddy at Facebook, but he posted some pictures of the gold... Hope you can make it up there sometime. Gold everywhere !! 🤠⛏️⚒️👍👍👍

[@ChasingGoldAustralia]

Now that is living the dream

[@allansgoldmining]

Indeed ! But you have to work hard and smart because the season is short up there.

[@ChasingGoldAustralia]

@@allansgoldmining yeah I bet, in Victoria Australia it costs hundreds of thousands just to do the permits without even putting a shovel in the ground

[@mandybrown7758]

So awesome some nice nuggets in there for sure

[@allansgoldmining]

He did a clean out afterwards and got 10.4 grams. Not bad for 30 minutes. 😉 Best of luck to you ! 🤠⛏️⚒️👍

[@jeffkeener3294]

We had the larger model Goldfields 35 trommel when we mined on Anvil Creek (Nome) in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Worked really well.

[@allansgoldmining]

Awesome ! Hope you recovered lots of gold. I was high banking Anvil Creek and stayed at AKAU. Had a blast !

[@jeffkeener3294]

Augie and his mom, Betty, were our neighbors. Augie was just a kid at the time.@@allansgoldmining

[@captureyouradventures]

MY GOODNESS!!!! Great video guys! Loving the sweater!!!!!! You guys are legends!

[@allansgoldmining]

Thanks so much ! Glad you enjoyed it.... and the attire. Lol ! 👍👍👍

[@chrislilly1463]

That was freakin awesome!

[@allansgoldmining]

Glad you enjoyed it Chris. Now get up there and get some yourself !

[@MastaT_150]

Holy crap that generator is quiet. What a cool little set up!

[@allansgoldmining]

I know, right ?? It's the best I've seen for small scale mining. No drama like Gold Rush. Lol ! We had a great time out there !

[@tictacguy7899]

Awesome setup. Great video. Thanks for sharing

[@allansgoldmining]

Glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to produce. 👍

[@outnorthprospecting]

That's a really nice washplant that Jason have, I have talked to Jason several times about my Trommel because its kind of the same set up but mine is on tracks. Thanks for sharing 🤠

[@allansgoldmining]

Thanks for the nice comments. We had a great time out there ! He's did a nice job setting up his operation. Inspirational for us weekend prospectors. Lol ! I need to call him and see how he did this season. 🤔 Hope you're doing well and success this year. 🤠⛏️⚒️👍👍👍

[@Pyrochemik007]

You guys should sell the gravel. It is quite unified in size, and it is water shaped, round gravel. People use it for decorations, pathways, around plants to get rid of weeds... They sell these bagged by 30kgs in hobby shops. And you have it pressure washed.

[@allansgoldmining]

No market. There's literally hundreds of square miles of it. Virtually all metamorphic Schist. Flat and crumbly. Ship to lower 48 is too cost prohibited. Remember, there are NO roads leading to Nome. It has to be flown or arrive by sea barge.

[@shanedoyle3444]

Hi , I was going to say the same as Pyrochemik007 , the slate type schist is perfect for stepping stone pavers ect , you should check it all out ! the gravel's and rock would be worth more than the gold , unless you are getting 50 grams a day . Cheers. @@allansgoldmining

[@mohammednovalija]

Thank You for your effort in sharing this video - enjoyable watch

[@allansgoldmining]

Thank you !!

[@peterwiley4383]

Super cool. Love to be doing that in my summers.

[@allansgoldmining]

I agree ! What's amazing is there's plenty of gold up there. Old-timers missed a lot !

[@andypandyAU.6669]

Very nice 1 man operation, ❤it 😊

[@allansgoldmining]

Thanks !! We had fun working it. Got 10 grams in 30 minutes !

[@andypandyAU.6669]

That's my total in a year!

[@brentsmith981]

i really enjoyed this video, as it's similar to my own setup, tho i have a couple smaller trommels (without vibrators). I hope you are very successful

[@allansgoldmining]

Thanks Brent. Glad you liked the set up, although I can't take credit for it. It's Jason's. I agree, he did a nice job putting it together. Best of luck to you on your mine adventure ! 🤠⛏️⚒️👍

[@markdejonghe9741]

I'd like to see more of this operation!

[@allansgoldmining]

Me too !

[@WyattYeager]

Looks just like my Savana Mining plant!

[@allansgoldmining]

Hope you found lots of shiny yellow with it. 👍

[@travismickelson9011]

great video

[@allansgoldmining]

Was fun putting it together. Thanks for watching !

[@joannehart9624]

Looks like everything is sized perfect for a one man operation. Sure beats sitting in the office pounding on a keyboard! 😊

[@allansgoldmining]

Jason did a really good job putting it together. The cool thing, it's paid for itself in gold !

[@bobcatman3844]

Nice work

[@allansgoldmining]

Thanks ! Glad you enjoyed it. He recovered 10 grams in that 30 minute run !

[@BoJohansen]

Nice nice❤❤

[@allansgoldmining]

Thanks. We had a blast up there. 👍

[@eliasarellano6887]

I will buy one to do that on my property here in Mexico.

[@allansgoldmining]

Awesome ! Good luck to you. 🤠⛏️⚒️👍👍👍

[@timothypeterson5359]

Have ya thought about adding a Dream mat dredge mat?

[@allansgoldmining]

Not my call. I don't own the plant. Not sure if dream mat would withstand that amount of volume ?

[@eliasarellano6887]

I already analyzed the material in a river that I have and it has 2.5 grams per ton

[@allansgoldmining]

That's excellent ! This machine will definitely do the job for you. We ran 5 yards in about 30 minutes and got 10 grams gold. Best of luck to you !!

[@richardservatius5405]

flat rock slabs get plenty of mechanical and water action on top, but they don't turn over...do the bottoms get clean?

[@allansgoldmining]

Surprisingly, yes ! There seems to be enough water flowing underneath to wash the underside. Bottom is solid versus a complete polyurethane screen deck. I think that makes a difference.

[@richardservatius5405]

@@allansgoldmining great ! how thick is the punch plate? are the holes in it staggered?

[@allansgoldmining]

I think he said the holes are 3 inch and appeared to be staggered on the end of the deck. He did a clean out after our 30 minute run and got 10.1 grams !

[@richardservatius5405]

@@allansgoldmining that's really good gold. my mine produces about .01 grams per hour at best. but i have to dig 15' down and the last 2 - 3 feet by hand.

[@allansgoldmining]

​@@richardservatius5405wow, that's a lot of work ! Sounds like the kind of grade the Hoffmans are mining, but they're pushing volume to make the difference.

[@mattc6226]

thats what i want to do!

[@allansgoldmining]

You betcha !!

[@bigbird2240]

Is that stone worth anything? Maybe you can crush it and sell as a gravel or fill product ?

[@allansgoldmining]

They use it for paving roads in Nome. It's a metamorphic rock called Schist.

[@privat10]

what is your total cost for this unit

[@BRADBEAR-zy1uj]

Ahhhhh I'm so close!!!

[@allansgoldmining]

Lots of mining going on up there. You probably know the area.👍

[@BRADBEAR-zy1uj]

@@allansgoldmining I didn't catch where was looking at machine

[@BRADBEAR-zy1uj]

Ah nome yeah I wish hmmm maybe next year

[@allansgoldmining]

​@@BRADBEAR-zy1ujstill plenty of gold up there ! I think it's better than lower 48. 👍

[@BRADBEAR-zy1uj]

@allansgoldmining as soon as my trommel is built I'll think about it hard I want to gotta make sure my.body is good first I got everything else

[@goldandsilverminingintheci8942]

How many months a year can he work the claim?

[@allansgoldmining]

5-6 months depending on the weather. Usually begins in May.

[@bigbird2240]

If you could mine the actual material like a rock or gravel product to sell also it would be more profitable

[@allansgoldmining]

Someone mentioned that earlier. Unfortunately, not practical. There are no roads leading to Nome. Products have to be transported by sea or air. A plane or ship full of rocks is not profitable cargo. Lol ! Actually, that 30 minute run captured 10 grams of gold. 👍

[@egy1507]

I’m going to build one to mine my land

[@allansgoldmining]

Awesome ! Best of luck to you !

[@mikechisangakapapa6644]

How much gold did u get?

[@allansgoldmining]

Ran approx 5 yards in 30 minutes and got 10.2 grams. 👍

[@Downunder4gold]

i have a big one same like this do 200 tph

[@allansgoldmining]

Would love to see it in action sometime. Are you up in AK ?

[@Downunder4gold]

it's already working in Papua new guinea. i will upload on youtube soon@@allansgoldmining

[@tujuprojects]

Maybe it would make sense to have electric pumps as well.

[@allansgoldmining]

You could. It's a personal choice. However, does Parker, Tony, Todd, Dave, etc. use electric pumps ? Not really. Running into the power cord could be a shocking experience. Lol !

[@tujuprojects]

@@allansgoldmining gold rush is a show, people wont’t take it seriously. You really think Ness had millions to buy all that equipment when starting or something broke. In reality most gold mainers operate junkyard.

[@allansgoldmining]

@@tujuprojects Your comments have nothing to do whether they use electric versus fuel powered pumps. Dodging the subject by focusing on Ness is no validation. Tall words for someone with no channel content. Let's see some videos of your top-of-the-line wash plant in action ?

[@tujuprojects]

Sorry that I commented your videos. Won’t happen again.

[@bigjibbsone]

since when did woody get into mining?

[@allansgoldmining]

Long time ago before you did...

[@bigjibbsone]

@@allansgoldmining watching one video doesn't make me into mining

[@allansgoldmining]

Well, then my answer to your question is true ! 😂

[@bigbird2240]

Aint no gold out there

[@allansgoldmining]

Just the opposite. Gold everywhere up here !

[@tujuprojects]

He should be able to just drop that bucket and his is not.

[@allansgoldmining]

You can't. The material is flat Schist. Flat material is much harder to process than rounded. In this case, slower is better. Yeah, he could by a larger plant, but that's easy to say from the couch. Coughing up the $$$$ is another thing.

[@tujuprojects]

@@allansgoldmining only requires to modify the first hopper to handle it. He’s wasting manhours.

[@allansgoldmining]

@@tujuprojects Well, let's see some videos of your plant, and how it mitigates flat material.
