let me zoom in on that stuff holy cow look at that just the sheer number of pieces oh me and Rigby are going Beach mining hiker let's pick them up well me and Rick big rig bone made it out to the beach with our hitchhiker this is Paul right here prospector Paul and he just got back from where uh little town or a little country little State called Alaska a little State called Alaska what were you doing out there picking flowers yeah we're looking for flowers yeah I watched a whole bunch of his episodes and they are fantastic his day his channel name is prospector Paul and he spent the whole summer up at a place called Skookum yes gold camp and let me tell you they racked up the gold but that doesn't mean he still doesn't like to do a little bit of beach mining so him and I hooked up we're here at the beach we're gonna get all our gear out of our truck and go down and get a nice pile of teeny weeny little bitty eenie we'd see Beach gold not big nuggets like he got all summer long back in a bit oh we're making our way it's gonna be a nice day out apparently cloudy partly sunny [Music] sweaty this place has really changed since we were here last none of these rocks were here it's not solid rocks all the way from where we parked hopefully there's some good deposits up here where we're headed but we'll only it's only one way to find out when Rigby stops we stop that's right we are still on the hunt and walking down this beach you could tell that there is a major major weather event here look at this big monster log right here that thing is a giant a giant let me get my hand on that thing it's huge that's three feet one waiter and look at the Sand how high the sand was this thing was buried and look what the waves did behind it it took out all the sand from behind this thing and made a huge little sand castle right here that's crazy I am starting to see some pretty good looking uh black Sandy posits here so I think I'm gonna go up just a little bit further where it flattens out up in there and drop my gear and start doing a little sampling Rigby's over there waiting for me that must mean something good all right Paul is doing a little testing down that way there I don't think we found a whole lot over there and Rigby stopped right dead in his tracks right here and this area is pretty interesting to me and I'll show you why hopefully my camera is picking up the difference in color let me get up and close one time here see how red that is pretty darn red looking that's just solid Garnet sand right there now let me move over here I don't know 20 feet look at that red black yeah that tells me the waves were coming up uh and in this fashion right here and moving this way moving some of that lighter Material off that way which is going to be the garnet sand and the blonde sand and the heavier black sand is left right down and this these here areas here and it looks pretty darn black all the way up into there and I'll dig down into this just a little bit and it looks to be about three quarters or so inch deep so we're going to do some testing here let me grab some of this here and I'll bring it over here and show you the difference in color look at that black up against that red garnet sand this stuff's just a little bit lighter than the black sand so we might be able to dial in a streak so to speak so all we're gonna have to do is do some testing let me grab a pan and we'll just skim a little bit off the top there that's probably an old quarter of a cup or so not too much bring that down to the Old Lake Superior here look at how clean that water is it's got some nice waves for some audio ambiance and we'll do a little bit of whoa we'll do a little bit of panning get rid of that light material you really gotta time out those waves I tell you what all right that's gonna take me a little while as you can see it's extremely well look there's already some gold right there that's a nice piece too let me pull this back a little more we'll just keep doing this live or not it's gonna take forever back in a bit good job rigbone here's the gold from a little bitty pinch there's three six colors and nothing spectacular but a couple of those are bigger than the next door neighbor that wasn't much material at all so I'm I'm betting somewhere in here is gonna be better somewhere in here there's gonna be worse I think that what I'm gonna do is set up my Camp here and I can shovel this stuff in here all day long and and still get decent gold and it'll allowed me to do some testing while we're getting gold so let's do that all right this Baby's ready to roll basically we're set up right on the deposit that's all I got to do turn on the water you just grab a scoop like such throw it on there I don't even have to move I got all kinds of good material right here today we're using our vdr sluice our six inch model works pretty good at the beach fits in my backpack and it's effective so let me get a bunch of this stuff around and we'll see if we can't find any anything better than what we had I mean we still have this here and it was pretty decent I would say but who knows maybe there's 50 in a pinch now it might not look like it but this stuff right here is absolutely packed with gold just packed I've been doing some testing here and there and I just did a pan I don't know probably a half of a full shovel Here in My Pan just because there's so much light material in there and as you can see I've been scraping that half an inch layer off of this stuff and just making a pile here and shoveling it on here but it was it's just loaded loaded loaded with gold even Paul came over here and he was pretty impressed coming right out of Alaska so we're gonna sit here and run this stuff I'm gonna probably take a hike up oh I don't know maybe this way see if we can't find 50 pieces in a pinch Paul's over here running some gold hog he likes his hog yeah that stuff works fantastic uh Jeff from Jeff's Midwest gold Adventures uses that Ty over there at Iowa gold prospectors and I've seen him out here and it works well and I've seen Paul use this before and it worked well so I think we're both gonna do this fine today now Paul's taking a different approach Rigby's laying here in the garnet sand so Paul's running some of his Garnet sand of which I have not tested yet have you yes I have and there's gold in it yeah there's gold in it awesome that is fantastic well I'm gonna probably shift gears and move all my stuff right over here just kidding all right let's get back to work oh I've got one five gallon tail run through it already and I'm gonna run three before I do a cleanup but we're seeing some pretty good goal let's take a little look at it all right without turning this thing all the way off I'll just try to get some of the glare off of there and you can see that that indicator mat up top it's got a fair number of pieces in there but when you start moving down you can see that all these little drop riffles and little swirl UPS they're really starting to pack up with gold real nicely yeah I mean look at all the gold in some of these things here all the way down looking at every single one of them has gold in it and we're probably down grapes we're all the way down to the bottom here and there's a piece right there down at the bottom and there's a whole bunch in there so we're capturing gold I'm sure we're losing a bunch but this thing is really doing well I mean for a five gallon pail let me put that in three look at that fantastic I'm sure Paul's over there doing just as well that's right so we're gonna get back at it hey you guys want to see something cool it's the Chris Lily Rock of the week let's see where is it there it is that's a nice one all right now I've got my second tail run and it's really looking fantastic tonight it's so badly clean that thing up see the gold in it I told myself I was gonna run three panels at a time so that's what we're gonna do so I've got to press tail water right here I'll show you how easy it is to change this out you don't even have to stop I got my pump running into the tub and basically we're just running our tailings into this tail right here pick that up let's put it right there add new pale just like that off we go all right now Paul's doing a cleanup here's his tailings poly red probably cheap Bales are better already these are running quite a bit faster and he's got some gold in the pan now he's not done cleaning that up by any means put that into three there we are but he's got some nice gold and I'm sure down and all that right there it's gonna be thick with gold oh I'm so jealous all I want to do is do a cleanup but we can gotta run another whole bill no darn it I'm just taking a little bit of a minute here from running I noticed there's a big old snarla stumps and rocks and whatnot up here actually Rigby was over here rooting around I know it's this big old pile of rope that stuck right into the bank back in there I don't know how long that's been there a lot of this stuff has been chewed out here because this this beach used to go way down into here and uh there must have really been quite the storm I tell you what but I don't think I'll be hauling at all with me by any means that is that is in there I can't even pull it out of there I tell you under some good black sand over here too better bring that with us well first let me apologize for the wind it's really starting to get windy out here waves are picking up hey when it's nice and cool out great bomb's having a good time now Paul over here he's gonna run his tailings he figures that he was running too much water when he was running last time and so he put a restrictor in his holes over here and he's running maybe half of the water and he said he put three scoops in there that he can already tell there's way more gold then he had running the whole time last time so he's gonna run his tailing tonight well you know why not it's already in a pile it's already wet and I can see some gold down in his shirt so he's well on his way to a nice pile of gold too I got about half of my last tail run here and then we're gonna do a clean up too and it's really looking good there's just absolutely so much gold in this loose I mean I'm starting at the bottom work our way up this thing is just packed with both up here it's really going to be something to see really something oh never gonna have a snack hey Rigby all right it's only been about two and a half Tails or sold but I can't wait anymore I gotta see some gold so I'll show you how easy it is clean this baby up set it back on there and get right back to running lower off I'm just lucky stick it right in there here's some splashes oh sorry it's getting windy out here all right put that in there I gotta switch hands here looks like we got it all right it's in there all right we are running away yet and I have a pretty quick cleanup done already well not already it took a little while but here it is now I would say that looks pretty darn good I'm pretty sure there's all kinds of it stuck backed on and that stuff there I'm trying to do this as fast as possible so I keep running more material but for two and a half pails I would say that is excellent we get that stuff home on our cleanups loose we'll be able to see exactly what we've got so while we're running here we're gonna have a little snack I'm getting hungry don't look now they're in UFO ball run get a baby oh Rigby here just jumped up in the air 22 feet can grab pulse lost darn drone I think he got one in the tongue with a propeller or something he's licking his chops over here so anyway I think we're gonna have a snack this snack time is brought to you by perucas of annago best beef jerky around yeah that's for you rig bomb he needs that he's a hard work minor Seas were angry that day them waves are coming right up they're washing me out here already I'll darn it it's getting windy the sun's coming out though uh I'm gonna have to see if I can string this out a little bit all right I'm gonna have to move up up the hill a little more it's starting to sink me here a little bit what we're hanging in there oh and the Gold's looking good too oh yeah it's our first pail on our second run and oh man now we had to move we had to move up the hill a little bit my legs are getting washed out my sluice started tipping over and whatnot we only had one pail run through it so I did a quick clean up this is out of one pail yeah oh my God we are killing it just killing it that is one five gallon pail of stuff right there amazing well we're getting cleaned up wrapped up and we're gonna ship out of here I just put my last Cleanup in my container here and it's nothing short of stellar prospector Paul came over here with all his concentrates and he put them in my pan so all his black sand concentrates he ran through that gold hog we have as well so we're gonna get we're gonna go back to the campsite drop Paul off maybe shoot the breeze a little bit and then get this stuff home and clean out because it's gonna be awesome oh boy we just went through a little piling him back that way it's getting a little wet huh oh my gosh a couple more to go I don't know if it's better crawling up the bank over the top of all that we're going out to search what do you guys think hey let's hit some breakers all right doggy crash oh oh that was a big one all right one more big one to go well we finally made it back that was 240 47 47 mile hike but we made it we're back at Paul's campsite and he brought me this bucket full of concentrates right here straight from Alaska to skook them gold Camp absolutely that is awesome so we're going to be doing a little Skookum gold pan in along with some Superior Beach Sands right what a day what a day thanks Paul for coming along today hey thanks for having me and you definitely proved why your flower gold wizards I learned that today I'm blushing it's all right all right we made it back to the shop gotta grab a little something out of the fridge of wonder that's right a little something I like to call a PBR all right we've been back a little while as a matter of fact I just got back from a fancy Mexican restaurant took Miss wizard out for a little Mexican dinner for her birthday now I've got my little cleanup sluice all set up right here I'm gonna turn that water on and I've got our concentrates right here from the beach let's get started why waste time this is going to be really something to see okay I've got one scoop in there I'm gonna I'm gonna turn that up just a little bit wash some of that sand off my indicator Matt turn it down so we can take a look in there oh yeah there's all kinds of gold in that stuff already this is gonna be something special so let's get this stuff fed through there and then get it into a pan I got some Suds in there that's all right though no floaties [Music] and PS on our way back out of there I run across this rock right here I have no idea what this rock is made of watch what happens when you get this baby wet that is one spectacular Rock let me get this thing down so I can get my hand on my Focus button here uh number three where's number three there we go look at this thing I have no idea what is going on with this rock I'll kind of I'll try to get it as many directions as I can look at that gray material in there it's all hard as a rock and then there's something mixed in with it right there this is really fantastic it jumped right out at me and I thought that maybe this would be the Chris Lilly Rock of the week well because it is but I'm not pitching it you ain't getting it I'm keeping this one but I wanted to show you anyway because I know how much you like your cool rocks if anybody out there has any idea at all what this rock is do tell all right it's all in there let me turn my speed controller down one time that helps you to be able to see put on all that white water and Gold's looking pretty good I always get that little lobster shape or whatever that is and we'll take a look down in all our capture zones and it is looking pretty good now it's still covered up by a little bit of that black sand so I'm going to turn this back up and leave some of that black sand clear out of there that's just less we got a pan in the end here's our beautiful gold all cleaned up nicely let me zoom in on that stuff holy cow look at that just the sheer number of pieces that stuff is so so tiny I don't see anything in there too large today you know every once in a while you get a couple of pieces that that stand out from the rest I mean there's one right there maybe but I'm still happy quite happy we're gonna try a little something different it's called tap to the top today's tap to the top is brought to you by Gary from Pirate Prospect and he supplies a lot of my awesome sluices that I use and we'll get this line all this gold tapped up into a nice line up there good smile for the camera that's right that was a lot of fun and but before I forget Paul did send me home with a couple of cleanups from his high Bankers out and scoop them Alaska he went out there and put a ton of work in and he showed a lot of gold in his videos and he sent a couple of cleanups home with me we're gonna hang on to that stuff for a special occasion let's take a look at it well it's dirt we'll pan that out another time take number 507 I tell you what that Mexican restaurant sure got my tongue of burden and I'm watering like a dang rabid dog so it's tough to get through it uh that's a nice pile of gold over there we really had fun doing it uh we're getting lucky with the weather I was pretty lucky to get out there today uh up in that neck of the woods winter starts I think or end of July so if we get one more trip out there yet I'm gonna be quite happy thank you Paul that concentrates very welcome around here and I know
