the Dog crossing the creek was epic !!!!!!!!

The dog walking the log cracked me up! Lmbo!!! Great video as always! Thanks!

Green rock, If it smells like almonds its pyrite arsenic. Black sand: if it's tin oxide its worth about $25k a ton. Final edit: love how excited you guys were. Its the exact reason I do it, gold be damed its about finding it.

Arsenopyrite smells a bit like garlic to me. The green rocks are probably epidote.

I don't know if I'd call it failure, a bad day prospecting is still better than a good day sitting at home 👍

About a decade ago i was called to the office of the local metallurgist friend. He knew i had a hand full of Fire Opals i was sitting on waiting for a buyer. An opal buyer from Australia was going to be stopping into my friends shop to catch up on old times and he wanted my to meet his Aussie friend, as well as get a chance to get premium price on selling my rough gems to the Aussie. The Aussie(Jimmy) was as colorful in personality as the gems he purchased from me. After the sale,the 3 of us went down to the bar for a few drinks. Jimmy told me he as well loved prospecting for gold along with everything else that sparkled under the sun. We got talking about his recent prospecting trip in Arizona,showing us pictures of a very impressive cleanup along with pictures of the unusual(but do-able) method he used to get that humbling large amount of gold. I was taken back by his methods, as i never seen gold prospecting done like that before. Since that conversation with him, i been itching to get on down to AZ to put that method to a good test for myself. A lot of research needs to go into this sort of thing before i go,as well as saving up for it. Sorry i wasn't specific as to the method Jimmy used,but it is something i really don't want the world to know about. If you know what i mean.

It's so great to see a content creator of your size interacting and inviting your subscribers out on trips to participate in the videos. Keep it up bud

I don't typically find gold in the clay, I find it on the clay. I scrape off the top layer and leave the rest behind. A good way to process that clay is to take those chunks and grate them across the classifier just like you use a cheese grater. Saves the fingers a bit.

Happy your able to do some Colorado adventuring even though it’s so far away

cool video! im surprised that old timer wasnt out there again trying to guard the gold lol

A pair of dish washing gloves works a treat for saving the finger prints, good in cold weather too. Make sure they fit snugly,a pain to get on but if they”fit like a glove” you don’t know you’ve got them on. Looks like a good days gold to me. Gold is just a bonus after a day in the bush.

Your videos are so relaxing and therapeutic- watching you pan the gold is hypnotic- I watch them at bedtime and I get through two or three videos and drift off to sleep .

Thanks mark layton glad you enjoyed it!

For food ideas: You could pack a few MREs for "just in case" moments. They are pretty cheap online an lightweight to pack. Yes, some might not taste that great but when you are busy a quick meal is better than having no energy when you would like quick physical food. MREs are also a big trend on KZread these days. Might bring back some good military memory for you!

@Klesh

Yeah I do enjoy MRE's actually. I carry Ambronite now, it's all powder (just add water) and it's a single pouch, no extra trash, more lightweight and just easier and faster than MRE's. Although yes...MRE's are nostalgia in a bag for me!

love watching your vids man. I've never done any prospecting and its definitely something I would like to try. keep it up!

Do you keep any simple survival gear in your bags ever, just in case? Would make a GREAT video from a ex-military man to show us some simple lightweight gear we could pack.

Very nice video! I love the dog crossing as well! I bought a kit and it has arrived, so I am anxious to try it out. See you next time!

What a great day on the creek. Thanks for sharing.

Nice pans for sure. Exciting to see the larger pieces. I'm sure you guys will return to that spot.

You had a great day out there. Looked like a lot of fun and some hard work. Nice gold! I was getting ready to go out and noticed your video, had to watch it first. Now that I'm inspired I will go out and get some gold. Thanks Shane and crew. Good job. Have a great day and be safe.

Great video ... would love to get on Lake creek up the road from Cache creek but its mainly all claimed up... been thinking of contacting the claim owners to ask permission.

Love the channel bro. You inspire me to get that shiney

great vid guys.i live in aurora and used to take the kids out panning when they were younger.great times!

Great video. Also thank you for pointing out the Vet discount. That means a lot.

Sweet! I live in Cañon City also. Cheers

I am not joking, I am tearing up because the dog is so fucking cute trying to cross while holding onto the tree as well! Cuteness overload.

Lol, you guys are prospecting on my favorite area at Cache Creek. Last time I was out I got my rubber boots stuck in that hole by the fallen tree. I learned not to waste my time with the clay as most of the gold was just above the clay layer. I highly recommend Cache Creek for prospecting and it is my second favorite area to prospect after the American River in California.

i feel that failure is never an option when you make a video thanks Klesh

Another great video shane 😎👍love the dog crossing 😂😂

nice little turn around from being skunked to some nice looking gold well done Klesh cheers

Ahhh, beef jerky, breakfast of champions! Great video thanks for uploading :)

Best thing to wake up to is a new Klesh vid!

Dude I love the ups and the downs of the whole gold mess. No matter what you do your fonna have the same issues. Keep it up.

@@Klesh its not bad at all, i suggest either going up into Temple Canyon to the bridge that crosses the creek and work both up stream and down stream... Also the Ecology Park and a decent hike to Grape Creek is an option... I've had a few decent trips out there. Reynolds riverwalk in Canon and down through Florence along the river is decent panning as well. Good to see you in my neck of the woods! Hope to catch you out there sometime!

Hey klesh, your channel gave me the gold fever and got me into prospecting. Even though I was unsure whether I could find some in Utah, I ended up with a little gold. I was wondering if you knew the purity of the gold in Utah? Good video, keep it up!

Nice work, that clay seems like a pain! I was in your neck of the woods on my second trip with my folks in Fairplay. We were doing some prospecting, fishing at Spinney, and winning money up in Cripple Creek last weekend for my bachelor party! Found some gold in the Middle Fork, but don't think I'll be going back too much gravel in that old dredge line to manage; maybe it was just the water line where we were but I was hoping for unprospected area there too. 1 big flake, lots of flour, and a couple of garnets made for a good day either way. I can't wait for the water to go back down I want to go crevice the flood gold in Clear Creek Canyon soon. Cheers from Longmont!

That was really nice of that person to give that bazooka sluice. As you said they don’t made those anymore but there are some new and improved ones out on the market. Some are made AMAZINGLY well.

Also, the prospecting shop in florence says people use the black sand to make knives and tools with.

You can sell black sand but you have to get a lot of it to make anything it has platinum in it bro 💪 👊 the Arkansas is loaded with black sand from turquoise lake all the way down to Pueblo great video Shane
