Cool video! I got that sluice this summer and backpacked it in with the power pig and a small lithium battery - works great!

Nice gold that’s what I get in Alabama I love my Goldhog sluice I’m going to the river Wednesday supposed to warm up some enjoyed the video ⚒️⛏️🇺🇸

Yeah you smashed that pay dirt today again man with gold hog . Taking your share nice one

Great job. Iv been out once this year . Work work work . Not as much fun but staying bizzy. Thank you for getting out there for me. Same size gold here in Wyoming

It's your magical magic backpack. All your placer tools are in that backpack. I enjoyed your video. Good job!! 👍

That sure is a nifty sluice, beautiful Gold Rookie, Thanks for sharing 👍🏼 😀

Great time out fam. Keep on having fun getting that au. Gold Squad Out!!!

Love that new sluice!

Try 1/8 mesh for small gold ,takes forever to fill a bucket , if you can lift a 5 gallon bucket of 1/8 ? the sluice likes 1/8 and it won't kick out so much of the fine gold . Good luck !

i would be breaking down some of that rock quartz to see as to weather gold is in the quartz

Very cool, I'm going to try panning in north Georgia.

New sub from over the pond in the south of England. I have a 25 year plan for 24g to cast my daughters wedding bands. Tip for wader soles, either try spraying the bottom with hairspray (cheaper option) or get a fly fishing re-felt kit (costly) as the stormsure bonds permanently. Gonna look forward to seeing the back catalogue of vids 👍🍻⛏️😁

The Gold Hog box looks good nice run 🦅🦅🦅🦅

Dude I found a nice spot by the house in Paulding county. Its in a layer of clay about 2’ deep in the creek bed. Cantaloupe size quartz rock 4’ down mixed with hand size quartz rock and loads of black sand. It’s definitely a strange spot but the color are big and easy to spot. I spent maybe 4 hrs in the same spot and found more gold than I have after 10 hrs work at my other spot. Its a hike in and out but definitely worth it. I only panned also so a sluice is gonna mean pay day. The deeper I go the less I find. I don’t know if it can stratify through the clay. If not then its gonna be easier than I thought to get to it.

Awesome video here bud. Definitely that was a very nice spot for finding nice flour gold. Lol. And totally a nice job finding the float quartz rocks. Definitely something for you to check out cause you might found a source of the gold that was somewhat left behind by the old timers miners. Lol. That one big black covered quartz rock definitely might be worth taking home one day and crushing it up and panning it out. 😆

I just got one of those. It works great but if you use at home with a recirculating system with the power pig it leaks real bad.

I use my big one with the power pig. It doesn't leak all that bad. You do lose some water but I'm ok with it. I use it outside on the driveway.

Nice job. How do you like the Frog Toggs? I went with knee high water proof socks. They fit inside my regular boots and keep my feet dry, but a little cold. Looks like you could get some warm socks on inside your chest waders.

I like having chest high waders so I can go deeper and they are thicker and more heavy duty to keep me warmer when I'm digging in 20 degree weather this winter.

Im in the columbus area. No gold down here but thinking about making a trip up there. Any campsites you would recommend?

Find any campground near Lake Allatoona. There is gold in every creek that surrounds the lake. It is owned by the Army Corps of Engineers and they allow gold panning there.

Can you use a sluice in ga without a permit on public land?

@goldiswhereyoufindit

4 ай бұрын

Not all public land is the same regarding the use of sluices. It depends on the jurisdiction. State parks you can't even pan at all or sluice. National forests don't allow sluices in Georgia, but in NC they do allow them at Uwharrie. Parks may have their own rules separate from legislation. The state of Georgia does not have a permitting process for hobbyists. Only commercial miners need permits from the state. The laws are so convoluted and vary so much you can't take anything I say as legal advice. Private property is your best bet for using a sluicebox.

What state are you in? Nice video.
