Nice gold and geode you found there. That’s why you should always look around 👍😊🍀🇺🇸⚒

classifying down to a 1/2 inch will speed the feed into the box dumping in your second bucket like that you are loosing any gold you may have by not allowing it to travel down the box and you are just beating up your box with those big rocks needlessly. *if your box is "Clogged with Haematite" than any gold will just bounce out and flow out the end*

Congratulations. I hope you find more and make many memories.

WOW - Amazing geode - beautiful creek

Good stuff and thanks for the hard work. I put whole pan under water to begin when i have the water. It really helps suspend the material.

Nice find on the geode 👍👍 and the gold, keep up the good work with your videos 👍👍have a good weekend 🤠🤠

Great video !! Gets me fired up for prospecting myself

I gotta say, I've never seen anybody abuse a river Sluice quite like that before!(not even me lol); but, you got Gold! 😆!

Great video can't wait until you get more flow. Have a great day and prospect on.

I appreciate the vids Kyle! And the patience! I have watched a dozen or so of yours and this WAS more rushed than usual. But I also saw you clearly said you guys got off work early and decided to head out. I like your patience after reading all the parrots out there getting after you! You don't seem to loose your cool even though they don't glance at the comments. I haven't even begun as a hobby yet but as soon as I can... I am just a little ways up from you in SE Iowa, I don't think we have ANY gold. But there IS a Geode State Park not far from me LOADED with some really wild geodes if you are ever up this way. It is only about 15 miles west of the Mississippi.

Quartz brains!! Too cool for words and a great indicator of gold, to boot! Lol Nice pieces of the yellow stuff on this trip. We appreciate that macro lens, too! Keep churning out the videos, man. Rock on!

Nice video 👍🏻 Those smaller balls look like geodes too. You have something underground feeding rock bottom for sure. I get my gold wagon on the road, I gotta come pay a visit there some time. Someone below mentioned a dam, I agree. Some gold channel that slips my mind at the moment uses one sometimes. Just a sheet made out of light tent nylon. I wondered if it wasn’t a tent rain fly myself. Works great to get depth and direct flow.

Shout out to Jeff Williams... thx for all the great videos Kyle, that looks like metamorphic sandstone commonly called quartzite

Definitely classify, when you load so much large material in at one time ,a lot of fines wsh out of the sluice over the large rocks and get washed away .I know as I use to make the same mistake .

I had a thought? Suppose you took a big scoop shovel at the bottom of the sluice to catch the wash out . then take that big shovel at a time above the sluice building up the wall's for water level feeding the flow in the sluice.

@Outlawarchaeology

I did that

The long tool with the thumb spot was for scrapping hides, great find.

I read about how to make an industrial tumbler out of a rear axle of a big semi truck with the rims and tires in place. You want to cut an opening in the highest part of the rim to load rocks. The article said a cover is not needed but I always thought if I was going to do one I would have a hinged door sealed with inner tube rubber. The idea is to set up a motor geared down so the tires rotates slowly and all the rocks stay in the lowest part of the tire at all times tumbling over each other. Each tire can hold about 100 lbs of rocks and you have 4 tires going at all times each one with a different grit. Always use same tire for the same grit. You rotate the rocks once a week and you have a 100 lbs of polished tumbled stones each week. I have been wondering if you could use quartz sand as grit for the first stage to do the rough rounding off? I am posting this on all videos about rock hounding to spread the idea, if this is you channel and you do not like that let me know. The fact that the tumbling will all take place in a rubber tire should help keep the noise down. The rocks should never touch the rim. I have suggested to people that they make a sound proof shed just big enough to be practical so the noise will be minimized. Plus the rubber in a tire is thick and should absorb a lot of the noise. Also you should have a small fan on the motor to keep it cool. A high quality motor will be a must as it will run 24 hours a day. I am no expert but with the proper gearing the motor should not be under too much stress. I would sell the tumbled stones. Once tumbled, you grade them by quality and type. Some would be really valuable. I bet you could average $10 usd per pound with just good found material and more if you have high grade material. Definitely not for the weekend rock hound but if you sell stones or want to, what a cheap way to start. You could tumble other people's rocks for a fee or shares too. You could make one with car tires for a smaller scale operation. There has to be a lot of people with a 30 year in the making, 3 ton pile of rocks out behind their house. With this they could see results from all that collecting.

Build a rock v at the top of the sluice that is taller and at least 2xs wider out of rocks you should get the flow you need i have to do the same thing up here in nw missouri

I would Definitely dig the heavy stuff out along the wall of that cave!(at least sample it)!

Why don't you use a classifier before dumping all those large rocks in the sluice? It would help with keeping the tail clear so your sluice keeps running correctly.

@joncairy9510

That's exactly what I was thinking. It makes it harder in the long run. Just getting sluice clogged up and possibly tossing gold out of there. There could even been hidden nuggets. You'll never know.

Nice gold and nice spot.

It's like he's running bricks through the sluice. You could wet classify or dry classify. Plus it's allot more fun.

Way to go Kyle !!

Lookn good bro.

Pan some of that material from under that ledge.

Great gold again Kyle expecially for a new spot. You need to look into a thing I saw on Vogus prospecting which is a cloth water gathering system. It takes a small flat Creek with no flow like yours and directs the water with a system of cloth pockets that fill up and direct towards the middle. It would allow you to run that sluice properly.

You should take your talkings and dump them on your V dams to seal off some some of your leakage. You might get a better flow in your sluice box. Good luck!

Good video man keep it up

Hey Kyle Not meaning to talk trash at ya, So don't take this wrong. I live in Co. And believe me, Our gold ain't much bigger. Just more of it. I think if you dig in a straight line across the gravel beds (like 3 or 4 lines) 10' to 15' apart and least 2' deep you'll find the pay streak in that creek And I know it sucks and time consuming. But classify. Especially in places with clay. Overloading your sluice only washes your gold away. You'd do better running your tailing's again. Yeah, I know! I'm a new sub. But Grandpappy always said, When the old dog can't learn new tricks? Better get a shovel, Cause he's dead........ I know, everybody an expert adviser. And we weren't there that day. But you catch my drift. Good work on your vids. Later man.

If you watched the previous video, that’s what he thought “it” was and in the dark of the morning, it looked like one. That’s why “quotes”. It turned out to not be a cave, but Kyle will know what I’m referencing. I still think would be interesting to run the material from the bottom as it’s not super near the creek so not likely that anyone has run it.

Hi Kyle. I'm a new sub. Any advice for me. ?...Lol I Live in Northern Virginia about 45 minutes from DC. I'm new at this as well. But somehow I started just getting obsessed with looking for gold or diamonds. I've actually heard of people up here walking down some of these dirt roads near the Shenandoah River after a nice rainfall and actually seeing gold and finding it washing down the dirt roads....crazy huh....but that stuff never happens to me unfortunately...Lol. Thanks

U need to use a classifier as u put the material in ur bucket. A lot of extra work.

Oh you just mentioned the horseshoe shape of that river section....thats called an oxbow I think. That means the river used to sun straighter thru that section of land. Maybe lower end of oxbow an angle in toward bank and deep as you can?

Nice gold...

You need to get a 1X4 board or something to block the water flow before you pick up your sluice box. Save the gold you found. I live in Colorado and have a 3" dredge for sale and a homemade high banker Two pumps. $1.200.

Those round balls might be Geodes... Try to crack one open, if it has crystals in it it’s a Geode...!

Ha ha,a place like that can end my marriage,ha ha,Congratulations,wish you get it ALL

Yeah I agree should at least have an inch classifier so you ain't carrying Boulders around wasting your time more dirt

In most states no one owns the river you just can’t go on their banks

You should classify the material as you put it in your bucket before you carry the material because it looks like your carrying more big rocks than the smaller gold bearing sands and gravel, and then you can get more material through the sluice for the same amount of work

You should watch docs videos on proportional force, and really listen when he talks about exchange rates. Letting your riffles fill with useless gravel and sands like you did will result in gold loss. Those quartz balls are called goliath brain

Wow 😲 I do not think 🤔 that’s suppose to be done that way. Rock classification should be done ✅ before so it would Class small rockstar Have you ever tried dousing rods?

If you wanted flow Kyle Thiemann, you simply had to dig yourself a bit of a trench, say a foot deep in the rivers bed, set your sluice in deeper, more flow...if you dug deep enough, using the whole width of the creek you could essentially use the entire creeks water volume (pressure) to maximize your flow rate.

So I was wrong about lower end of oxbow...go to upper end inside where there should be some coarser gravel. That's the first drop point for heavy stuff based on a vid by askjeffwilliams. I was right about angling in toward bank tho. Test pan across that coarse gravel in 3 spots. Top middle and center. Where you find the best samples from each pan in each trench draw a line through each of those spots and that's your pay streak he says. Got me wondering if there's gold in Wisconsin now 😆

If you look up baraboo sincline

Why don't you try up against the bank where the water ran high in the storm's. Right where it turns back out towards the main flow. Lots of gold have been found upside the mountain banks, or your river bank. Right where the water slams into the bank. Then later the water gets really low where you are working

Let’s hear you want to dig it is under that undercut but you’ll be very careful
