Twin Cities Gold Mining

[@chickengenius4202]

I don’t care about panning for gold, but I like this guy’s enthusiasm so I’ve watched a bunch of videos

[@chrissibersky4617]

You're definitely not alone. This channel has some growth.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

That is great to hear. Thank you!

[@brocojack]

then you should check out vogus prospecting. the guy will find 20 dollars worth of gold and he starts hopping around like an irishman with a whiskey flask. its truely something.... but yeah, this fellas awesome too.

[@HandmadeGolb]

It's about watching our bro do something he loves

[@ramsessilent]

wow that crane shot was worth the gold you got and then some! thanks for the share ! stay awesome!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

That’s for sure!

[@HamnerdGaming]

I love these videos

[@danschafer4347]

Another great adventure prospecting thank you for sharing this with us I love your videos

[@GSProspecting]

Great job getting that Au fam. What a blast. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

[@MinnesotaBeekeeper]

Yup, Minnesota the state where nothing is allowed. Sluice away.

[@ronyoutu]

Agree!! The state makes you feel like a criminal panning or metal detecting.

[@craigstockton3103]

Love your personality, never done this but I do have pans and bott. There is a guy on KZbin as well that has a great technique when you get to the last little bit in the oan. Gold Hog is the guy. I think you would benefit from his knowledge. Thank you for great enthusiasm and entertainment.

[@carldahlstrom4232]

Enjoyed your video, made me smile, keep it up, good job.

[@jacobfolz6683]

Thank you for making my Saturday morning fun! Always look forward to your vids. Thanks again Glacial Gold Hunter!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Thank you for watching!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Thank you for watching!

[@cindylundgren1924]

Your videos are my favorite! :)

[@timberedridge7224]

I could watch this guy do just about anything some of the most authentic content on YT. Keep it up.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@anthonybrau7399]

Another great video. No longer living in the Midwest (Wisconsin). Wish I would have known about glacial gold back in the day. Love your channel!!

[@MrEScience]

Stuff like that Heron flying by is my favorite part of kayaking here in MN, it's like hiking and going to a nature preserve on a conveyer belt. You are inspiring me to buy some pans and stop on the way next year. Thanks for the absolutely amazing videos!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I hope to make many more!

[@OneMinuteChickens]

My friend, I've never heard gold fever described as obsession but that about sums it up. 😆Thanks for the video!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

😆 yeah. I have an obsessive trait about me.

[@mandybrown7758]

Always a fun time Great video 😊

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

It’s super fun!

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Thanks for sharing 👍🤓.. congrats on your ✨✨✨

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Every speck is precious.

[@whatfull99]

Fun videos and editing. Glad you like the FGW Micro Gold Sluice 😉

[@jordanstephenson6953]

It's called an irrigation bottle. Love your videos!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

An irrigation bottle?

[@jordanstephenson6953]

@GlacialGoldHunter yes, the little bottle you use to wash out the rest of the stuff from the bucket that you said you didn't know what it's called. Well that's what it's called, so now you know 😁. Very commonly used in chemistry labs and similar applications for flushing remaining chemicals from glassware, down a funnel, filter, etc.

[@tonykrejci]

It's great someone is reporting our neck of the woods! Anyone panning the Ottertail River area by Frazee? I use to live there back in the 60s. I have great claims in Colorado but it's a 13 hr drive from Mpls.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Only 13 hours. Road trip! 😆

[@tonykrejci]

@@GlacialGoldHunter No. One way!

[@firechicken455adventures]

You had another great day out. I also wish the laws were written better. I always enjoy your videos. Gold fever is real...lol.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

It sure is!

[@RandomDudeOne]

It would be interesting if you tried the Zumbro River in SE Minnesota. There was a brief gold rush there in 1857, beautiful scenery there too with the bluffs.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Funny you mention that. You may be interested in tomorrow’s video.

[@SnakePlissken-ki2rw]

If I remember correctly, there was a stamp mill or something in or by Oronoco. It was washed away by a flood. They rebuilt it, and the following year, it was washed away by another flood. They never rebuilt it.

[@lindasedgwick6380]

❤ the vids, informative and, well, entertaining. 🙂

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@Kromeboy1]

Nice video, I would recommend to shake your pan side to side and not swirl it around when stratifying your material, this ensures the gold goes down to the bottom of the riffles and not get swirled on top where it'll wash out when you dip to remove surface material.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I’ll give that a try.

[@wiggles3945]

Just picked up panning for MN gold my self (mostly because of your video's) and it's my new opposition. Only found a few flakes so far and a few nice small garnets but hey got to start somewhere

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

You’re hooked now 😆

[@juancarlos-bi4zm]

Awesome dude! It is funny to see all the real weirdos who think you are doing something wrong. 😂

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

There are a few out there.

[@Mr.Quack_420D]

Dang he only had 3.96k subs last night when i came across this channel and now its up 4k. Good job bro keep up the grind. If it doesnt already this channel is gonna pay for itself one day

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Subs are great but views are what really matters. Right now I get enough views that these trips pay for themselves which I’m super thankful for.

[@AMProspecting]

Great time out my friend!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

It’s a supper fun hobby.

[@ZachGodel]

After watching your "Gold in St. Paul video" I had to buy myself a pan and give it a try. Easily found gold west of the cities. I've never subscribed to a channel before, but you deserve it. Would love to pan with you out here sometime!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Glad you got out and found some gold!

[@brocojack]

Bro! Eagle blessing. Legit. Merica!

[@bryang9601]

Fun times! ❤

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Super fun.

[@theobirkholz]

Looks like 9-mile creek!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

No it’s secret creek.

[@theobirkholz]

@@GlacialGoldHunter That's the best kind of creek :)

[@person_suit3064]

How big was the biggest piece of gold you've ever found?

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Big enough to feel with my finger in the pan. Most pieces you can’t even feel.

[@andrewpetrov7646]

i feel like go pro's have not had a good reputation recently but i know that insta 360 cameras are new and seem quite nice

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Maybe I should have got that one.

[@laurieowen8696]

Interesting.

[@adamjacobson1993]

Are you going to put videos on hold once the winter comes around?

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Yes. I have about 10 videos in the bank waiting to be edited but then I’ll be out of content for the winter.

[@royal_ish]

Love your videos. Are you still going to be doing bronze casting as well as gold hunting?

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I will still be doing the bronze casting. I moved and it’s taking a while to get a good work shop put together.

[@DarinsCards]

I feel like you run the the sluice faster than the Flour Gold wizards? As long as you aren’t losing any I guess it’s fine

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I might need to slow it down a bit.

[@raymondcoriz9500]

So I don’t think a sluice box qualifies as mechanical. It’s similar to a pan isn’t it? FGW uses a sluice box quite frequently. I believe you’d be good to go to use one. More material = More gold. Come to Colorado some time. We will get some gold. Heavy Pans.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I would be up for a Colorado trip sometime. I need knee surgery so it would have to be next year but that would be super fun to see some mountain gold.

[@TheWasatchGearReview]

Aren't you able to use a river sluice?

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

In Minnesota it says no sluicing but it is in the section that also lumps them into mechanical operations. So I think the people who write the laws just don’t know what they are taking about. But on KZbin I will stick to panning.

[@jordannoll6830]

Find any good Lake Superior Agates on your adventures?

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Oh I have found some nice ones. I’ll show some in upcoming videos.

[@vincetaulbee2699]

I think i might start panning for gold

[@scottfoss716]

Fun! Fun! Fun!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Indeed! 😃

[@hippyhebrewhomestead8593]

You’re not swashbuckling….you’re swash-bucketing

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

😆

[@RustyOsborne-q3t]

I didn't know there was gold up there I lived up there for 5 years

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

A lot of people don’t know it’s there.

[@mr.kenslifeshop4034]

Isnt a regular sluice non mechanical just mother natures water flow? Mechanical meaning pumps and electricity?

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

It’s a grey area. The law says no sluices but it’s listed in the section of mechanical separation. So I really don’t think the person who wrote the law knows what they are saying.

[@EMFMiner]

As long as you have permission from the landowner or are in a public place (no State Parks or Scientific and Natural Areas) and aren't pumping from or putting tailings directly into the body of water, you can technically run a recirculating power sluice in Minnesota. It's also possible to speed pan as fast or faster than a small sluice with minimal losses. At the end of the day, Minnesota law considers a sluice or dredge "commercia activityl," requiring a permit from the State. The reality is, if there are no financially rewarding places to prospect, you're doing it for fun, and you're using a little toy like an adventure sluice, good luck ruffling anyones feathers!

[@mr.kenslifeshop4034]

@@GlacialGoldHunter Out at nugget lake you can use sluices, and they do have the signs about no mechanical seperation.

[@litlewolf2]

You ever want some company, let me know. I'd be happy to join you!

[@EMFMiner]

I had a number of 40 spec pans this week, within 30 minutes of MSP.

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Sounds like a hot spot!

[@dkizzy55]

Try the Gold Rush Nugget Bucket (gravity sluice) for cleaning your full bucket of concentrates. Works really well (when adapted) for catching that fine flour gold we have here in MN & gets around the sluice law. I show here on this video when I happen to run into the Flour Gold Wizard at Nugget Lake. I demonstrate my method at about 11:50 mins into this video :-) Check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIDGq4avfbKkbJY

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

Boy that’s an interesting system. I’ve never seen it be like that. I need to see it working a little closer to see how it’s working.

[@sesrunner08]

Nope that’s minnehaha creek lol

[@sesrunner08]

Again go down south near Rochester so if there is any gold down there!

[@GlacialGoldHunter]

I have a video I’m editing on that trip too.. much private land down there.
