Big Boulders Big Gold
Ойын-сауық
We take a close look at some of the massive unique boulders that are commonly found with huge gold nuggets, this site has some amazing rocks that look like meteors from space or even huge chunks of raw ore right from the vein. Opening this ghost town mine is proving to be a big challenge to complete alone without the help of anyone, I'm struggling to make the progress I was so sure was achievable. Join us on another adventure as we embark to open a placer gold mine and unlock the mysteries that lie in the dark ominous and incredible forests surrounding a ghost town lost to time.

Love these videos Andy. This is what reality tv should be. No script, raw footage, educational. So real. Love these, thank you!

your right, this is better than gold rush because its more realistic and less scripted, gold rush is kind of nice to watch some but this is better

I like it but HOLY SHIT . 99% talking and 1% gold.... It's like you're stringing us along and then hint at something interesting at the end, except in this case there wasn't any gold at the end either! I get clickbait, but If you're gonna say "big boulders big gold" At least show some gold at the end... I don't mind waiting but don't just lie to us and waste 15 minutes talking our ear off and not even hint at a piece of gold!
You are my new favorite prospector on KZread. Can't wait to see you throughout the season and a pan full of gold at the end!
This is what discovery channel used to be. Go on with this man! Ur doing a great job
Andy your living the prospectors dream ! I love music too it’s a big part of our life’s I think. I wish you big nuggets for your reward of hard work 👍⚒☘️
Hey Andy, seeing those raisin boulders, first thing I thought was they need to go thru Jason's hammer mills and shaker table. What fun your having.
That's how to get it done fam. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out!!!

Thank you for taking us all on this journey Andy I am truly grateful 🙏
Nice progress good you look after your tools, they will last you well. It will be an epic day when you first put paydirt through the trammel. Keep on, keeping on. Andy UK
Woo hoo big rocks and beer cans up in the top soil. That's promising 😄 Can't wait to see this adventure unfold Andy.
I get stoked knowing the area you are at ..Spent all my time in those hills as a kid searching for the Source..Solid vids Andy..keep em coming
I look forward to following you further. Started following you when you and Dan worked together at Dan's mine. You must have a really nice weekend ;)
Great video, love how you are showing how much work goes into opening up a mine site. So much to do, especially by yourself.
Every video you release has an awesome energy to it. Love watching you learn new things and enjoy your dreams. Never stop moving forward!
The journey continues ,thanks for bringing us along for the ride@! Looking forward to the next one!!! 👍🇨🇦
So glad to see another video. My imagination is going wild with ideas of what the operating mine is going to look like! Thanks
Nothing better on a Saturday than a cup of coffee and a new video

Hi, another nice video. Always interesting and full of adventure. Have a great weekend, Natalie 🙋🏻♀🌞🌺
Totally stoked Andy!!! Can't wait to see you start using your wash plant for the first time and start seeing some color!!! Can't seem to find your Andy Thraxx mining hoodies anywhere though? Let me know how I can get ahold of one please, show some support for a fellow adventure seeker & the love of everything old 🤘

love these videos, it must be so awesome to have your own little patch of paradise to play around with
Lol yup cup don’t fit call it a day lol😂. Awesome stuff Andy can’t wait to see what you find their. Keep up the good work and heavy pans.

Hey Discovery Channel!!! You need Andy and his crew on Gold Rush!!!! Waiting……. 😎
It is looking great. Thank you for the great videos and explaining things. Thank you very much. You be safe.
Andy, you are definitely in your element!
I love the big toys also and I've got to have the tunes on. It helps keep my mind on what I'm doing and makes the time go by faster. I like how you talk about listening to the machine and learning what it will do, they all act a little differently.

Another GREAT production! Thanks CAPTURE YOUR ADVENTURES! If not for your TEAM would we all be even able to follow Andy and his adventure? CHEERS
Keep it up Andy, steady and slow does when the race and the ultimate goal. If and when you get to the point of needing help, reach out to your neighbor down below who too believes in the dream and hard work. Kudo's to the cameraman and the editing of the videos.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and passing along the knowledge you have learned firsthand! I would love to be there with you moving dirt!! Heavy pans brother, heavy pans 🙏🏻
I love what you said: "Every minute of my life has a soundtrack." That is true for all of us.
You are such a hoot to watch " oh no the cup doesn't fit, I'll pack up a proper cup tmorrow and we see how it goes "......You r so talented and down to Earth with us. Should also say , your a terrific Mentor as well !
What's reality is what we all live with. Keep grinding my man.
Your patience will be your best friend. Great activity. Fun to watch. Every success Andy.

Wow man!! Thank you so much for watching the old show🤗🍻
On my way to the island as I type this!! Thanks for the content!! Excited to watch
You are already doing rock and roll with that river rock...so you already know the answer to that question
You know what they say Andy...... "A successful business is ran by the chairperson being the owner himself"! Meaning, your videos are so much more enjoyable than most of the big time "scripted" shows like Gold Rush. Keep following your heart man, love the passion you have! I can't wait to visit one day, and work for freeeeeeeeeee
Keep at it Andy 😊you will soon find out the limits of the machine. I drive a 14t machine every day and know what she can and can’t do, but that’s on a construction site. If I lived closer to you I would gladly give up my job to come help you. Keep the video’s coming, love watching how the mining is done at this level and maybe one day I could get there 🏴
It just keeps getting more exciting! Thanks for sharing this journey.
So good to see you taking time to learn your machine. As for hiring help, I'll bet you could have volunteers if you asked.
What a tease in the beginning haha! Can't wait until you run the pay and I hope it's as rich as you think! Your definitely my favorite guy to watch from BC!
Rich in experience from previous adventures you should have more luck this time. Genuine person with genuine presentation of the realities of small scale placer mining. No clickbaits. Hope you will hit the jackpot.
Nice work Andy, moving right along 👍 Thanks for bringing us along.
Once you get busy setting up the headquarters Andy you can order the Wurlitzer jukebox and the hot drinks dispenser you can’t beat listening to the WHO whilst drinking a warm cup of coffee. All the best young Andy from a very appreciative fan here in Glasgow Scotland 🏴 ❤
Awesome video Andy, love the pride you show in your toy’s 🤠
Some of the best KZread videos I've seen!
Best Channel by far. Thanks for all your insight. you will be at a million followers in no time. Please keep these amazing videos coming.
I would literally bike out there and work for you for free just to help you out! This has always been a lifestyle I've dreamed about! Kudos to you Andy
As per usual…. Excellent!!! We’ll be following along 🐺😃✌️✅

Love it keep the videos coming
I love your videos brother! I’ll be back for every one.
Glad to see more subscribers build the best up. Have a wonderful day
I hope you submitted that Budweiser can to the Smithsonian Andy! Lol Another exciting video - I cannot wait to see you have that trommel up and running!!! 🎉
Heck yea brother! Another amaizing mini movie from Andy! Keep on it bro ur gonna hit the motherload
I recently found your channel on my home page, never been interested or thought about gold mining before. But got hooked! Your videos are really good! I struggled with some older of your videos understanding the passing of time, they seemed to show future content only to be like “but that hole doesn’t exist yet” for example.. really glad this new video is very much like “tomorrow we are going todo the access road” and hopefully your next video will follow on from this point so it’s an evolving story! A video with back and forth timeframes throws viewers off and makes the video uncomfortable to watch mentally, these latest ones are so much better! Longer videos too!! Can’t wait for the next one!
Rock n Roll !!!
You are the next up and coming. Absolutely outstanding videos can't wait for the next. All the way from Cornwall in the UK 🇬🇧
Keep up the good work andy your videos are interesting and educational respect m8 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Love your work Andy, it’s so awesome that you are sharing your experience
Always waiting for new videos from the mine
Andy, just a heads up, you can get old style fuel can spouts with rear vents on amazon and retrofit a new can. you just drill a hole in the back and the vent snaps in. saves a lot of hassle with spilled fuel, wonkey nozzles, etc. With the size of your site, depending on how remote it is, it might be worth just finding a large pad tank and having a fuel truck fill it up. No idea how remote you are, but it would be a lot more convenient to have 1500 gal and a long hose, rather than using a truck bed tank with 200 gal. it would save you a run back to the fuel station if you ever need to fill up the excavator, washplant, etc all at the start of the day. And if you're planning on at least 3 years, then it would make sense to just bite the bullet now and keep the equipment full to minimize downtime. You could probably find the tank on the secondhand market pretty cheap too

@@jfarmer9808 you can lock out the tank. just gotta be a little smarter than a $5 masterlock. protecting $2500 of diesel, you shouldn't scoff at spending $500 to lock it up. that lock setup will be with the tank for years so it's a good investment.

the bastards are equipped for everything including having a picker truck, cutting angle grinders, cutting torches, fuel pumps and getting more brazen all the time. Its a businees to them, same as your mining.
Andy, get yourself either some yellow jerry cans, they are designed for diesel. Or a slip tank for the back of your truck!! No more carrying diesel jerry cans, and you can carry ALOT more fuel!!
Another great video Andy!
hi andy, i'm a new subscriber to your channel, but i follow multiple channels of onsite direct engineering solutions. with this broadcast of yours I learned more about how to recognize from the environment whether it has the right characteristics of the resources you are looking for. thank you for the info, my insight on recognition environment has given me a better insight.
That's awesome bro!!! Please keep all your progress on video!! Love your channel big time!!! ⛏️⛏️⛏️
Can't get enough of real non scripted mining.
Love the content can't wait to see rocks being washed!!!
YES! PUmped to see this road being built. Also, playing it safe with the tree falling was a good call. I watch youtube clips of fails every day enough to anything goes when you are falling trees an they could end you so great judgment there. I saw a clip of a guy that falls a tree between two houses perfectly and when the tree hits the ground one branch bounces back up over 30 plus feet and smokes the guy up in the tree right in the head. Like, straight movie-type stuff. The poisonous bug video made me belly laugh. you got me on that one. I didn't expect it. Over all man such a pleasure to watch the journey. One thing your episodes do that no other gold show does is it show's how much work this all takes and how many little things are going on that anyone who doesn't do this for a living would just never know. Don't change a thing Andy I will be watching every video man!

I like your Treadlightly attitude in mining.
Nice video Andy. It would be interesting to see what that raisin rock had inside of it. I wish you had a breaker and crusher to find out if that came from an ore body. I hope you're on the gold with your dig. It sure looks like good gravel at the base.
Stumbled upon your channel yesterday, been bingewatching since. Great stuff and great personality! Happy to follow your channel growth. Greetings from Finland!
Hey buddy, loving your new videos. I've been keenly following your adventure. The issue you've got with the cup holder with the larger cups, look at getting a pvc reducer for a storm water/plumbing pipe from a hardware shop, should do the trick nicely 👌 Keep it up 🤘
Great show, Andy
I agree 100% about the music part as it is so much my life to listen to all forms of music but classic rock will always be the dominant go to for me since it was my Generation for it.. I love watching the vids and learning about the mining in that area..
I switched to racing gas cans. They have super flexible spouts and good vents so they flow really fast.
I think I'm as excited as you are to see what you come up with! good luck man. great operation! Also camped in that area for many years when I was younger.
Another great episode. Shouldn't be to much longer for the other, awesome stuff can't wait to see what's next
Love your attitude and heart! Keep it up man
I missed the live! You did it again...excellent content!
Another amazing video dude, im more excited for these vids than i am the latest HBO blockbuster Solid content, honest, real and intimate just couldn’t be any better. Keep going my dude! This is guna be big.
Another awesome informative video 👍🏻
Looking good Andy!! As an experienced excavator operator I think you’re doing just great! Slow and low is the tempo…. Opperator’s that give it to much Gusto just blow out there hydraulic seals! Your machine will thank you in the end!!
