the river's right over there they fought it out well here the prices are really amazingly good it's a very comfortable place each little Cottage there's different ones there's Riverside cottages three different things they've got rustic camps rustic Cottage rustic cabins they call them right Riverside yeah Riverside and Hillside yep they have cottages which I believe have bathrooms in in them yeah it's like a little mini house rustic cabins don't you gotta use a the outhouses uh let's go to bathrooms they're modern outhouses flushing toilets running showers hey and they got a shower in the back should I shower you got a sink toilet that flushes and we're across the street we're on the river over there it's the rest of the campground and they have 10 sites over there RV sites the little cottages and this Hillside rustic cabins like similar to these over here but these all go along the river fairly beautiful place they fought everything out everything's well taken care of if you're coming up here to prospect this is the place to stay the prices are very reasonable even if you're just coming to Camp do they have a swimming pool over there they got mini golf there we have it this is it done thank you we made it we're out on the river we drove up by the tunnel Brook and up the wild animalskin there's not a soul around nobody nobody on the river nobody in the campsite nobody prospecting just us nice and quiet it is quiet except for the sound of the river see the nice River close by and goes off down that way we're going to be setting up over here we got the gold Fox mini uh high banker if you haven't seen the last episode um it we weren't too impressed with the mats in it clogging up and not uh so because it was losing almost 50 percent or more of the gold going through it so we're gonna try it again today we're going to use it the same way and test it and you'll see we're gonna set it up real soon anything to say we he doesn't have any shirts with no shirt today you're under what is it oh it's a Scooby look at that maybe later I'll sell it to you all right we're gonna get set up we're setting up the gold Fox Mini this is day two of testing it out yesterday was a little disappointing and I think it's pretty much the mats that come with it I don't know no matter what we did for adjustments it didn't seem to catch more than 50 percent of the gold which if you Prospect you know that's not a good ratio so we're going to be looking in we're going to test it for a few more days and then if we keep getting the same results we're going to look into getting some dream maps uh from prospector's dream and cutting them down we've had really good luck with them a lot of people swear by them and and we've always caught at times 100 of the call that we've run through in tests so we will be making that modification if we continue with the same results you lost what [Music] oh that's the only one we got did we lose it yesterday we were working over there yesterday he's not going to find that it's a gray clamp for the Sea of gray rocks you found it no way we're back in business I can't believe that that's unbelievable well maybe it's our lucky day this finding that makes it a lucky day so there it is full slots Mini it's got a slew set up on the end of it which has the dream mat in it so we can see what we're losing out of the gold Fox and the gold Fox mini is a great machine it's got a lot of Pros about it but I was just not thrilled with the mat losing 50 of the gold we're going to keep testing it and see what happens if that ratio continues try a few adjustments but we tried a few yesterday and it didn't seem to make much of a difference [Applause] new day a new bot I hope the gold is as good as yesterday was today we're just gonna dump it right by the high banker and scoop it from the ground into the high banker we learned yesterday it's much much tougher to scoop out of the bucket we're prospecting right here our cabin is right over there right there we're piling the Pay Dirt there because it was too difficult digging it out of a bucket so let's go you ready here we go we can make that steeper we're gonna have to okay let me make that a little steeper I'm gonna lift it up lift that up okay crazy is that the highest set you know I think it might be yeah two trial Tom oh yeah that's better processing nicely yep that's pretty good I'm gonna turn the flow up a little bit to turn the flow up a little because that one here we go we gotta have that one clearing out down there I lowered this down a little bit it's helping the dream mat clear up better than the cells active in the two rocks blocking right here yeah you see those ripples packing up up there slow down a little bit those upper ones yeah that's too small he's slow so we're gonna run that pile that was what like four buckets so we're gonna run the rest of that pile clean it out and see if there's anything in that spot before we continue all right he's done he emptied it out plus took a little extra let's shut her down looking good I see gold in the indicator mat there so hey well that doesn't sound good for this man up here this packs up see it there's not enough ripples you need you need ridges like a potato chip you need ridges these are two not enough ridges so they fill up and then you don't cut any ripples no dead zones no place for the gold to hide you know I see it jumping around in there but that's not enough you need some big ripples like these are Big see you can see this place is for gold to hide in there I think we may be replacing this whole thing with dream map we'll see we're going to clean this out see what's in it we're going to clean this one first see what's in this I can already tell you there's gold in it we're taking a break before we uh clean up that bottom sluice Crumpet time I don't know what he's got over there we're gonna take a look muffins and hey stay out of there mini chocolate chip cookies what mini chocolate chip cookies yeah I'll try one all right now if you haven't watched our last episode when we use the high banker it wasn't uh weren't too impressed so I'm curious to see if the results are going to be the same I did make a few adjustments but you got to run it in order so it works so the material clears out and I've gotta and it you I watch the ripples in their mat and I see them they're agitated so the heavy should fall but I think they're so small that they clog up so quick I don't know we'll see here we go with the clean out we've got a style looks like with the sluice on the end we'll be able to see what the gold Fox missed down to the nitty Grit let's see what we got nice amount of black sand in that stuff seen anything yet being gold but yeah we already know there's an issue for that gold Fox map look at that seemed better than yesterday wow that's what it missed the gold Fox I mean that's unacceptable wow that's crazy I'd expect anywhere near that that's just with the cold Fox missed I wonder if it's more than a cot let's see what it caught now here goes the clean out of the gold Fox mini high banker should be interesting because that was a good amount of gold doubt it missed that ended up in the lowest loose and in the Green Dot so yeah like I was saying any of these things that you see high back just suits for different bats pans anything like that just something that we buy ourselves um to use for our prospecting none of this stuff is given to us by any company or not endorsed or endorsing them it's just stuff we buy so the reviews are honest it's how we find the equipment doesn't mean other people might like it or have a different results so it's just our results while we do try it over and over and over again to make sure we're getting the same result and if you're watching this and you see something we're doing wrong and you have some comments on that leave them Below in the comments we always like feedback I'm dying to know what was caught in there how's that possible how's that possible it lost all the gold ended up in the dream mat wow I gotta do it again because I don't believe it yeah that just that don't even make sense to me wow I'm just I'm shocked right now thinking that there's no gold in the maps from the gold Fox mini it all washed out the end and ended up in the sleuth with the Dream Bat that's a horrible performance you know he's going to repent that we'll be back to see didn't catch any goal wow shocked well we're sitting here contemplating I am completely shocked that the gold Fox caught nothing this time I've tried it deeper I've tried it shallower the pitch I don't get it evidently the pitch it's on now is not doing good there was a lot of black sand in it I just it just knocked the ripples aren't big enough they fill up and everything just goes right over the top I don't know why the gold is going over the top some some things should have went in there I know how I know the dream Matt I know that works great because I've used it for a long time and I've tested it many different ways and I know it's catching whatever that misses at least 90 percent of what that misses and that's missing a hundred percent so it's just a glorified classify it it's all it is I don't know I don't know what to say at this point about it what I say is we got to put some dream mats in that and try it again but for today we're going to run it again I'm gonna make an adjustment again and see if we can improve on it there's gold there we're gonna keep digging oh I'm gonna drown my sorrows in some nice sea salt and vinegar pork rinds I won't feel so bad he's got beef stick let's take a closer look at these mats this is the top as like a nugget trap doesn't trap anything and yes it hasn't been let's look at the side see and then the bottom has these and it has a large one here but it's just not trapping anything I don't know it should should have caught some I'm gonna try it again if this is a five degree pitch that's about as low as you want to go I'm gonna try it a little bit steeper on six like it was yesterday and uh see if it improves Maybe Maybe all right we're going to turn the plant on here we go [Music] foreign and dig it up and put it in then to put it in a bucket and then try to get it out of the pocket because it all compact solid on the ground you can get the big rocks out of your way so there's a tip for you right there we're gonna see how long that battery lasts the one we put in there yesterday was an older battery it was fully charged but it was an older battery you know they don't last as long and we got one and a half runs so we'll see if we make it through the second run four buckets in there we almost made it we got about uh one and a half runs and we like to do two runs in a day so it takes two batteries I gotta get another one all right I put a new battery in and we're ready to go here we go we're back up and running we might be able to make our season go [Laughter] I already have my season goal is to have fun and I've already done that so success [Applause] last one last scoop of the day time to clean it up and see what the results are and we'll start with the solution with the dream mat again see what's in that first foreign anything yet I thought too and the dream map and one right there and two right there kit all right we're gonna see what's in the gold Fox mini hi Banker yeah maybe I'll have a little Redemption we'll see thank you three very Smalls over there right around that black sand Sam yeah I see that one yeah another one there the very minute that second run wasn't too good that's because I think it's all flood gold it's all on the surface so I would just take like the first six inches in that whole area on the top should be more back it up it's cold so yeah suck it out always fill your holes in when you're done the gold Fox caught more gold than the dream map three specs that's all there must the gold must have been really up near the surface it's all flood gold like I said before right out in front of the camp this area gets prospected heavily but there was a flood just a couple of weeks ago and this in this Gravel Bar basically is replenished and the gold will be at the surface probably within the first six inches or a foot and that's what we've been seeing and it's pretty good but once you get down lower it kind of dries up that gold after some rain and uh high in different levels of water if the water goes over this again it'll that gold will be driven deeper down and deeper down a year from now it won't be up near the surface like it is now but uh that's about it we're gonna pack up around here uh but we're I'm getting hungry we gotta pack up I'm probably gonna go into uh Dunkin Donuts and get a nice coffee what do you think about that let's go [Music] we just got back to the camp we went and got a coffee and checked our emails and answered messages and all that stuff and we're gonna get settled in here and get a fire going and get ready for dinner you hungry oh yes we have company someone moved someone came here and uh he happened to know us you know in
