Smoky Gold: working a deep, hidden crevice and panning out chunky gold pickers!

Описание: #goldprospecting #goldpanning #goldmining Crevicing for gold is a gamble. A prospector does his best to read the signs of the river and select a promising location, with the hopes that nice gold may be lurking down below. But you don't know for sure until you get down to the very bottom, scrape every last speck of dirt and gravel up, then pan it out. Join me, the Gold Country Miner, on such an adventure down on the river on a smoky, mid-summer morning. After moving some big boulders off the top, then the rest of the over-burden, I work a hidden crevice down to the very bottom. Was there good gold to be found, any nice chunky pickers, or did I come up empty-handed? Watch to find out!

Please note: this video is a re-release of the original version I uploaded several weeks back. After posting it originally, I came to learn that the area I was working in this video was actually within an active mining claim. Whoops! I thought I did my research but apparently not thoroughly enough… Fortunately, the claim holder was a nice guy and very reasonable. I took down the original version, added a disclaimer at the beginning explaining that the area depicted is within a mining claim, made a few other minor editorial changes, and am now re-posting the video with the claim holder’s permission. If you saw the original version, go ahead and re-watch! If you haven’t seen this one before, please enjoy! Thanks for taking the time to check out my channel. -Gold Country Miner
