Umm.... If you don't mind me asking. Why are the riffles in your sluice box installed backwards ?? You two silly fellers may want to turn them around !! LOL !! If you have the high edge of the riffles facing upstream it causes high pressure turbulance = (BAD) .When you have the high edge facing downstream it causes a low pressure eddy behind the riffle and will catch all the gold (GOOD). Let me know how it works out for ya !! Anyways,Funny Video at least you guys are having alot of fun !!!
vids great, but your pannins technique is crap. you never dip and pull out of the water all the way. plus it would be nice to see you use the riffles, especially since it is so concentrated. but overall great vid. 5 stars.
Of course you realize that every prospector/gold miner has his own panning technique that probably is a little different from yours (and many old timers/purists are horrified that the plastic pans even have riffles and refuse to use anything but old, beat-up metal pans)...
But, that's the beauty of gold mining. Everyone is free to do their own thing.
You guys are killer! these videos are the funniest shit ever! keep em coming, its part of the reason I've got the gold fever now. Being from the yukon there's plenty around!!
Enjoyed watching all those, you sure are one cranky, cantankerous old fart, but I like you, great videos. Hoping to fly over to the States again soon to do some prospecting there. Would be good to meet up with some characters like you.
You might want to buy one of our gold panning kits to try it yourself... Gold is very heavy - so once it moves to the bottom of the pan, the top material can be discarded.

We had a lot of fun making the video - because it's about so much more than just finding gold... If you have doubts about gold in this valley - just google "McDame Creek Gold" and see what comes up.
I hope you enjoyed watching it and seeing the mostly home-made equipment that we have. As you can see from the video, we're having a blast...
Great videos! I had a blast watching them! Im quite impressed with your equipment and would love to get my hands on one of them! And youre absolutely right about having fun. Ive been dredging in the lower 48 for a while now and even if youre pulling in good gold its just not worth it if youre not having fun and enjoying yourself. Great work guys!!! What did you pull in for the season?
Is a cabin fever common for you miners, just joking, How much gold to you recover during this season. Are you just looking for big nuggets, or finer gold, like gold flour. Looks like a nice life.
i got fired for being drunk on the job once....your lucky. AHAHA

You guys are having fun! Just working in the great outdoors and hunting for gold is grand entertainment. Finding nice color is the icing on the cake.
