We were in Scotland in the fall of 2010, the snow was 4 feet and that was even at lower town / city elevation, we didn't pan for gold but had the most wonderful vacation in the highlands, people were very friendly and helpful, unlike our home town here in Nashua NH where most people are horrid, ignorant and the crime is out of control. Nothing beats the UK !

That old bridge is really sweet. Awesome finding gold in Scotland.

KleshGuitars there's lots of good sites to metal detect in Scotland, also a few extinct volcanoes that used to have the area beside me like yellowstone a few million years ago with hot springs, lots of quartz gold and various other metals, the geology and mineral content changes every 3 miles or so, was at a site with an open quarry and daily blasting that ripped up quartz tonnes at a time with impure gold in it, can send you a photo if you would like.

So so when I was about 4 years old my granddad would set me out in a pile of rocks with a magnifying glass and tell me to go prospecting for gold. I was so into it, I would sneak my Grandma's jewelry with the fake diamonds and pick them out...no good. LOL. I loved it. So since late last year I bought some bags of paydirt and I'm so hooked!

Watched your video once and signed up as I enjoyed your video and I recognised the place straight away roughly 5 mile from me we used to camp there years ago rumbling bridge just down the road would be a good place mostly bed rock there

Tyndrum is one of the best places to find gold as long as you don't go in the gold packed mine as it's owned by Austrilia. sadly they can't mine the gold there as they want to dump the rubbish around the mine and the mine is right in the heart of a national protected park,they were told they can mine it but anything they pull out other than gold has to be put back in like it was and thats why that mine is still sitting there in limbo.
