Gold Panning Fine Gold Among the Nuggets?

California Gold Nuggets part 5 of 5
Final video from my buddy Bryan's claim in the Motherload of California. Today I break out the gold pan, and see if the gravels that have been loaded with nuggets are also loaded with fine gold too small for the metal detectors to detect. Also we pull out the detectors one last time and fins one last batch of nugget. The officer pays us another visit.

I will also explain in his video all about the "Cops Called" issue and answer a lot of questions many of you had about the previous video.

When I left home at 15 yrs old back in 1980, I met a guy who had a claim on the Middle Fork of the American River in Auburn California, that was a fun summer, I ran that dredge 6-7 hours a day, I was fearless, one day I found myself deeeep under a house sized Boulder just sucking up gold from the bedrock, didnt even realize it 😂😂😂😂😂

Dan's methodical and disciplined approach to prospecting is a beautiful nod to the generations of prospectors before him.

Thanks Dan! You definitely handled Everything About the Cops, and How you told us about it, and choosing Not to Record the Situation, Perfectly. I love how you pointed out that "Just because you Can Do Something (i.e. legally) Doesn't Mean that you Should Do something. There Is Wisdom in That.

[TerenceLord-wm]

Thank you, Dan, we can watch your reruns and see you in the next few years, you will be back, and we will all miss you until then. Love your work Dan.

Hey Dan, I'm Paul the one who wished you a Happy New Year at the bank a few days ago! Cool video 😎.

"Just because I can doesn't mean I should" - wise words Dan. Why escalate a situation when you can just talk it out? My experience is the BLM understands that people make mistakes and they prefer to educate, rather than punish, people when honest mistakes are made. Great video Dan.

[STEEL-IN-UT]

Liked "just because you can, doesn't mean you should ".👍 - I wish more people would live by that motto. 😊

Saw your big announcement video tonight. Teared up, but its the right decision and you're a courageous man. I have 4 grown children, ( adults now), spend time with them is always the priority! Good on ya! Hope to meet up at Roundup! If I'm not out gold

[errk]

What a great series. I was so cool to see you in my neck of the woods. Have a great New Year and I'm looking forwards to more of your adventures.

Dan, you brought up the one thing we deal with in the Comstock Lode area, fine gold attached to quartz and calcite along with other flakey particles. It's very difficult to recover through gravity separation methods. It's stays suspended in water.

[robaldridge]

in 'my' experience (grew up in NORTHERN Calif.) IF you can locate the foundation lines of an old gold mill you WILL find fine FINE gold that floated/flew out of the mill. I used to hit 3 olf millsites that provided me with gas n beans money.... (1980s) Happy New Year Hurd

"eleventy seven pans to go" had me chuckling.

[krystinnahardin]

I agree with you Dan. There are just some things that are none of our business, and it is not our information to share. For those that were complaining or encouraging you to share, yet provoking you by saying it was click bait, grow up. On a positive note, I loved these videos! As always, love the stuff you show us! Bless you! ❤

[diamondhunterTv]

Amazing skills! The process of finding fine gold is so fascinating."
"Wow! The combination of fine gold particles and large nuggets is truly unique. Great job!"
This gold panning technique looks so simple and effective. Can't wait for more videos like this!"🎉🎉🎉🎉

[davidtrzil]

Enjoyed this video and all of the previous ones on your California adventure. Most importantly, it looked like everyone had fun using the Garrett detectors while searching. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[julianmounser]

One of your best vids. Says who you are.

[sandradavid]

I had a friend who used to work a claim in the Kalgoorlie goldfield region of Western Australia . I panned my first couple of pieces of gold with him . That was about 30 years ago. He mined quite a few ounces of gold from that claim.

[jamesspinks]

I hesitate to tell what to do so I’ll just say I like you being you. You, earned my subscription today. (Continued subscription).

[MadmanJnr]

Click bait... maybe... lies nope. I totally agree with how you handled the camera work in the last video. The officer doesn't need a camera in his face and we are here for the Gold anyway 👍

Thank's Brian and Dan !!! Have A Happy New Year!!!
