Lake Superior HUGE gold pile!!! #grassrootsmining

captain's log 6:14 2019 we made it up to the beach campsite we're all alone here's our site it's a big one got the generator off in the woods what honored some feet that way we got to campsites because I prefer to be alone got our kayaks got our own little little Lake Lake Superior's right cross road Louise only one hiccup so far I lost the key to that chain hold my generator to a tree girls found it with the metal detector graceless averted but that's all over and done with certain little for our ride nobody else and other vehicles got under my skin at all let's have a brewski and go mining [Music] welcome back to the flower goals lizard Channel I made it I made it down to the beach well five o'clock in the afternoon according to this time so or later you know my time but we made it nonetheless it's drizzling out the skittles are unbelievable but we made it I got my sluice runnin here let's take a little look at that he got the way from kids wait on a liter and the dogs looking for agates and such so I told him I wanted to run a few buckets tonight where we went and lit a fire and had had a few cocktails did some family stop so let me get to that and I'll pick it back up but I got two or three pails run and then we'll get some sleep in for tomorrow because tomorrow it's all all hell's going to break loose we're going to be mine in so back in a bit alright three three buckets update update this is one I don't know maybe a quarter of a bucket run and we I don't know me I just plant it on this here spot here I picked a spot close to that I get down to the beach without walk-in the mile and I really wanted to set up right down there but this has some pretty good black sand and I I just scraped a little bit with a bucket and set it up here and I'm starting to shovel it in but notice I landed on a really good spot there's an old right there it is gold all over in this stuff look at that I mean all its it's up up top it's down low there is arrested us here it's ours there we go later I've done okay boy this is right up there with some of the best material I've ever gotten coming down here I mean that's maybe I'm gonna fifteen scoops you're so that's just the stuffing and cedar quite a bit more buried under this black sand so we're gonna keep pounding that in there we're gonna keep pounding that in me then we'll be back well I had a beer here dug a little hole I threw it in there to keep cold it's gone sweet on here brain get away you get back here oh my god he must be terrified oh thank good well guess what it started raining not long after I started feeding he knows girls they ain't putting up with that and that's just fine it's a little later in the afternoon anyway but I did end up getting yeah I'd say a good good salad three-quarters of a 5-gallon pail run and I'm gonna pan that down quick I got a fire going over there got my boys all the girls are hiding in there you're gonna make a sandwich or something so uh let me get this here three-quarters of a pail pan down and we'll see what we're in for tomorrow all right yeah I got that all in a container here it all is right there so I quickly grabbed one teaspoon out of that material I've got from three-quarters of a pail off the beach and this is one teaspoons worth there's the there's the sand that's the goal for one teaspoon of the sand for one three-quarter pail of black sand off the Lake Superior beach I think I landed on the spot so when I wake up in the morning it's go time good morning everybody we are back it's go time I got everything set up here it looks like the sun's going to come out a little bit today let me see what I brought to the beach with me I got it all I got my under SLUSA I got my cubes Lewis I got my cube I got some really good dirt fresh battery I remembered everything today I had to run back and get some pants but that's no big deal I got what I need this is the spot I was in last night and we killed it here last night running that three-quarter fail so we are going to pound pound pound sand here's what we're dealing with right here I dug a little trench and you can see the layering there's a couple a couple inches up on top here that's absolutely black black and then there's some garnets and right here and then it just kind of layers itself into black garnet black garnet a little bit of blonde and then and then down into here nothing but blonde Sam so there must be something about this particular mix of material but it is it really did great last night so we're gonna get this thing fired up and get started backing up for those of you just getting accustomed to my brand of YouTube channel here's my beach mining setup I've got a I've got a sluice underneath here with some low profile V mat painted with clear silicone because that gold sticks to that silicone like you wouldn't believe zone and donut this in here I've got about a foot section or ten inches of the Royal manufacturing deep-v and that does a great job catching gold and this moose sitting on top of that sluice was originally my tailings diverter for my gold cube and it ran often into pails into my tub here and I'd dump the pails of black sand out you know I didn't have to pick the cube up every time and and it worked great and it still does and I put some low manufacturing deep V in there as well cuz that stuff it no it really does do a great job pension gold you get the rate water flawed pitch and I seem to have that dial then pretty good so we're gonna be touching gold today at guaranteed and then my cube I've got a a tree of a sawtooth merit in there and another tray of sawtooth man I got that from Washington Beach mining for a boat there and up on top I've got some more low profile deep be in here I use mainly to Roger beats prospecting I can the clear is off really cost I can see the goal that stays in there you know you know all days you know a lot of us stay there all day but costly it skirt no I can brush it off to one side and then throw another scoop see if I'm into gold or not and now that's that's been helping me a lot so this system here let me show you how I'm running this I just grab a scoop out of my bucket here and throw it in there I grab a scoop and I throw it up on my cube now this particular sluice right here with that deep B I can run twice as much material as I can with the put the cube here just for whatever reason it's you know it's not the water's not moving as fast so what I like to do then I take one I throw it in there okay I take when they throw it in there and I got both sluices running and by the time I do all that the cubes cleaned out and I can throw another one in my cube I'll just leave that all run and I'll repeat the process give that a ball heck out on all 15-20 seconds and started again here y'all and I'll run three pails like this all together this is the vault almost 9 feet of sluice runnin here I run three pails like this let it run right in that tub dump it out I can be back run it and five minutes after a clean off maybe six minutes so we're gonna push a whole pile material through this baby today they're gonna speech look at his black sand up here isn't that beautiful there's Gold everywhere and this stuff and then I landed on this spot yesterday we're gonna kill it back in a bit Joseph said maybe I was dumping not dumping my beer in the river and I commented I do not dump here well last night dumped a beer I apologize I want to show you guys just a little bit of what I've been finding here I'm doing a little prospecting I'm set up down there all right I did a little test pole right there come down here and did another little test hole you know there's a difference in that first spot I was at I'm still out there was quite a bit of layering layering in the you know in the sidewalls here when I dug a trench this one here I moved down on north probably 50 feet and look at the difference it just goes right from solid black you know maybe just a little bit of garnets and in there right there and then back to solid black and and instantly yeah right - blonde sand and some cobbles you know there's no there's no layering you know blonde black blonde black this is just black all the way down to solid blonde so I'm going to take a few pills out of this spot here throw it on my indicator bed and see if we get from it but I've got plenty of shoreline to work with and there is nobody in town just me wish you guys were here back in a bit welcome back well I would like to make a point of something here what of the commenters name of Kevin Rose we were talking about the layering in the sand here and I want to show you something he's suggested to me that he thought the bigger goal that was gonna ride in this in this red more garnet II layer here so what I've been doing is scraping off the top a couple inches it is absolutely just jet-black stuff here and concentrating my efforts on this you know it's got a lot of black sand in there but there's a really good amount of darkness sand in there and it's big garnets and it's not that little powder it's you know it's good-sized greens and it's clean a bit of it and he was right on the money I am pretty impressed with that I've been getting bigger gold in this stuff here and more of it I think before when I was scraping that top layer I was just giving that and you know I was getting decent gold I mean I was getting great gold but no scraping that off and just taking shovels full out of there that's making a huge different especially in the size of the pieces so it's about 12:30 or so I got about 10 buckets run already got the team up there with me see she's up there helping a couple down that way they're really helping a lot so I'm gonna get back at him what a nice day well that's done we got about 16 17 buckets run I'm tired everybody's tired we did all did a good job today then we gals that's right slow we're having some dinner and having a fire and a couple of cocktails there's you guys see the size chicken and then we're gonna wait for dark and go you pearlite huntin that's right you pearlite look it up well it's the next day we didn't find any yooper lights last night but I found the bottom of that 30-pack box that's for sure well that's Sunday we're gonna wrap it up I had some grand intentions we're going down and running some more sand this morning but out all those girls they need to take a hot shower in that and that's fine we're gonna get we're gonna probably get on the road here but I did throw six full full pails of black sand in the back of my truck and we're gonna pick this back up at home I'll run all that because this is gonna be an epic clean note from what I've seen so far so I'll pick this back up at home hey we made it back to the shop in one piece oh well it could have been worse I merely suggested that I take a shower in front of those girls there who have been out in the woods for three days full of bug spray and no hot shower I gotta tell you I am lucky to be alive that's no lie so I think I'm gonna steer clear the house for a little while and when we were out there I was balancing a little bit between family camping and minun so I didn't get a billion buckets run I got pretty sure seventeen and I did bring a bunch of buckets home so I'm gonna run three buckets here in the shop before I do a cleanup so I have an even 20 on decent ground out there I want to see what's in 20 pails level pails so let me get let me get everything set up and we'll do that back in a bit all right I've got two full pills run this boat full stomach almost out the second one who wants to see something really dumb I do you see what I see I've done is that Anna's boom boom that's my goal in there but you know there's her Beach gold it stops but that's lots lots of box letters I'm glad you have any nuts there we go a little better all right let's continue all right we're back let's do a little bit of cleanup I've got - some of the sand here this is about three-quarters of it or so I got that I got a little bit more of some results from from whatever but anyway this is the this is the bulk of it and this map is a royal man deep Mead I made that before I left and I'm gonna try that out it actually for the first time ever it turned out perfect I mean well darn near perfect I got all that all the V's in there to come out real nice the last one I did had so many pock marks I just couldn't keep any decent material in it I think it was because it's so it's so narrow I started on one edge here and I pushed all the air out as I was making this form here you see and then you know I'm gonna make a video on how at least how I did mine and then we'll go over that but we're gonna see all this works compared to that Lowepro as far as cleanup goes for that low profile DD mat so let's throw a couple of spoonfuls in here and we'll see we'll see what comes of that all right I know this video is proudly running on about 45 days long now look I ran bought half of that there and I understood on a scene just but lots and lots of gold in my little silicon mat here so I decided to do a little clean o na and I'm doing that I just want to show you how easy it is I mean this comes right in and out of that deal they're pretty pretty good and while I'm cleaning rods sitting there I want to show you this thing here I know I took some of that low profile mat and I glued it to the bottom and I saw this steel stud frame I use for my clean ups loose so anything getting under this mat is coming in contact with this and you can see that there has been some some material getting under that other met and I didn't want to glue it down you know the the silicone one because I'm sick of dunking all my sluices inside of a table and and trying to splash them all out my system eventually here is gonna be all on mats that can t go like this one here I mean look at all nice that turned out that silicone mat is that beautiful or what so yeah this year it was really filling up with gold so I'm gonna get these here cleaned up quick well actually not that one yet I'm gonna see what was just in that silicone one and I'll take a pic attack be right back alright not screwing around here I've got all this stuff run this videos get too long so I just got it all run it's the last of my stuff here and look it look look at SEO on stay one time here let me check pull his back let me get this up a little higher what's in there and there's some big pieces in there like you and I mean for Beach goal it's it's there they're pretty big pieces look at some of the pieces in there like that one right there for the beach that's pretty darn big I mean this is uh this is the best thing I've ever done there this is twenty pails off the beach let me tap this up look at all thick that's getting there and this stand here is just absolutely full gold watch this oh my god this is amazing just to me I don't know if I can just attribute it to attribute this to getting on excellent ground or not and I did I landed it right on the spot and it really it does pay off to be on good ground but I think no silicone mats that whole 3 foot stretch that I've got is really is really making a difference so how much does it weigh I don't weigh my gold and there you know I have a couple of times in the past you know I I did once all together and then I did another time for when I tested my my my Beach mining setup in a previous video but I just don't for whatever reason I don't know so maybe I will at the end of this season I I still plan on having the thousand subscriber giveaway from outta space here because it's gonna be something and there's gonna be more than one one one winner I think I'm gonna shoot for 5 and I think we're looking about 700 subs right now and you know it's not probably not too far away well I hope you know so you know we we crushed it crushed it this weekend had a great time with the wife and kids get the camper wrote and I would have last we're gonna do it again we will do that again this summer and I've got Gary promote Marilyn coming so we're gonna have a good time then too so that's about it for this one here if you liked this episode like share subscribe please do leave a comment and flower Gold wizards Oh
