Sooo nice to see sooo much gold, and you didn't have to freeze (too much) for it. If you ever feel like remaking your mats you CAN color them by adding cheap Acrylic Paint (.$0.87 to $1.67 Hobby stores, wal-mart etc.) to the silicone goo after the water bath. Mix it in quickly and completely and form the mat as normal. Takes about 20 mins to setup. I Avoid Cobalt Hue as that seems to inhibit the silicone setting up. Your videos are so much fun to watch when you are using your own equipment that you put together!

I do UK beaches, most of the beach is pretty barren, but try this, find a spot where the seawashes against a cliff, over 95% of the gold i find is in the first 10ft under the cliff.. the waves hitting the cliff and bouncing back then hitting the oncoming wave create a lowpressure zone and drop the heaviest material out first.

Beach gold super fine and hard to separate from the heavy black sand. Nothing gets all the gold the first run you can keep on running it and get more gold. It's like a gift that keeps on giving.

@@alanrobertson2510 It just seemed to me that it was a long way to drive from Montana to Washington State for a bit of dust. I live here in West Virginia where the gold is liquid black or 30,000 feet deep and gaseous. (Marcellus shale gas :) There is a lot of history here dating back beyond the civil war. I am contemplating the purchase of a metal detector but with my spinal problems, I can't walk very far at a time. Maybe it'll get me off my butt. :) I moved here 18 years ago from Florida where black sand is unheard of. When we were having our land leveled here, I had the dozer driver shave an 18 inch high knob off the side of a hill to lessen it's grade. I was walking behind him and there I found a perfect horse shoe. No rust damage or anything. The red clay here kind of keeps the oxygen and, at 18 inches deep, most of the moisture away from such items. I like to watch the Alaska gold shows on TV and the detector hunters here on KZread. I had heard that back in the middle 1800's they were finding softball sized nuggets as shallow as 4 feet deep in North Carolina!!! People were selling their land in 4 foot by 4 foot claims and making a killing over the normal value of the land for farming. That "gold rush" didn't last long and some scientists conjecture that in the distant past, a gold laden meteor may have exploded over the area rather than it being a geological deposit. I'd like to get a war surplus mine sweeper and check out that place. They couldn't have found all of it. :) Have a happy, Jeff M.

@@alanrobertson2510 That's cool, I didn't want you mislead people into thinking they could just go out and do what they wanted. We are having enough issues with numerous agencies, trout unlimited, sierra club, the tribes, and so on. They are trying to shut down any kind of motorized pumps, mainly dredging. The tactics they use are misleading. They leave out the fact that we remove garbage, lures. lead, and mercury from the rivers. It also creates spawning habitat for the fish. Thank for your response and keep finding that yellow stuff! Mike H.

@@stlrsmike No problem I am aware of all the issues out there. I think we would be a lot better off if people would at least try and follow the rules as ridicules as some are. I did see a lot of the rules broken mostly by the local people down there it's to bad a few could spoil it for all. Take care.

This is one of the few beaches that has gold on it. On this beach you can dig anywhere and find gold. The logs come from the winter storms and that is how the gold ends up on the beach also.

Yes it is legal. You need to have the Washington gold and fish pamphlet with you all 43 pages and is free. You need to pay for parking as it is a state park. Thanks for watching.

Thank you Mr. Robertson for sharing with the rest of us. I would like to ask you small question, the area that you are working is this area open to the public or is it a gold claim that someone own's? Thank you, Very Respectfully. dd

You are welcome what a blast. We were at Cape Disappointment State park it is totally open to the public for anyone to dig. You just need to have the Washington gold and fish pamphlet with you to be legal. Thanks for watching.

@@alanrobertson2510 Thank you Mr. Robertson, I greatly appreciated your kind reply back. It definitely looked like a blast in the beach sands. I was looking for a place to go and get away from all the snow that we had down here in northern CA. I'll need to refine my sluice box with different matting for the fine beach sand that you were running and I'll head up to Washington to try my luck.
