  • Hey that's my sluice box, right after the jig. I'm Gold Designs. Custom built that for them. Glad the guys are finding a pile.

  • I found a log shaped nugget in 1998 that hit the scale at 21oz. Funny thing was I was out fishing not prospecting and came across a tree that had fallen down along the banks of the Eastmain River not more than three miles from the Lac Cadieux south. Big fish and better pay out! I was already fishing for more than 3 hours when I took a break near the ragged stump and cavity it left behind. As the water washed away the deposits it just looked like a piece of foil or wrapper down in the water. I grabbed it and immediately felt the weight.

    • @@goldsilverjunkie I wish more people would enjoy the outdoors for more than profit, it was certainly a great find, but it still sits in my shed as I have no use for the money or greed that comes with it. In fact, the shed is still out there if anyone want to look. It would be quite the adventure though and ill warn in advance the bears are plentiful. I plan to revisit next spring for another fishing trip. If the gold is still there then it will be recycled. I know of no better use for it than contributing to the medical field for our loved ones. That is all I have to say about this and good fishing everyone!

  • I worked in a small mine in eldorado county ca,in the 1970sand 80s,and crushed cemented gravel the nuggets look just like that and our biggest pice of gold was5.5oz.,so cool too see that gold in the rock before it was crushed,and seen a room miners made back in the day and you could see the nuggets in the walls on private property of course,new owners now cant see it but its there.i seen Mason jars full of dime size nuggets and it all went to china town San Francisco,waht a great experience in that time in my life.my wife had so nice jewelry from my earnings at the pit.keep it on coming,showing the real nuggs.

  • OH MY GOD 😮 (I had to spell it out for emphasis!)!!!! The first thing that popped into my head when you grabbed the elongated first nugget was, "That's a golden key!" It certainly was what I would name it! What a fantastic opportunity and operation. That is the first time I saw and learned about a jig. Ingenuity at its finest. The end result was gleaming, clean gold. The jig takes out all the hard work of panning/shaker tabling the cons to separate out black sand, etc. The Pinolyte was huge! From what I could see, the designs were just as stunning. I'm glad that they learned about this type of rock and are separating it out from the tailings. If I remember correctly, your first video at the Flat Bear Mine was when you discovered it and was on video discussing the gem and that this would be the only other place it was found. That is a pretty rare find and those specimens are huge! I really love the smoothness of their mine. Although this happened to be an incredible day for them, they are trying to cross every T and dot each I. Such a beautiful place! As always, I appreciate you sharing this incredible mine with us. Such a joy seeing golden goodness with smiles to match! May you always find gold between your toes! 🦶🦶 Blessings from Alabama ❤️

  • So what do they do with these nuggets they are finding? Do they process them with the rest of the gold, or do they sell them separately to collectors? How much gold do they find per a season? How much do they average a day? Dan, I would love to see you visit more of these placer operations! Most of us really only know mining at 2 different levels: the hobbyist using high bankers or maybe a dredge, or the major commercial operations we see on “Gold Rush”. It’s awesome learning about the wide variety of mining that doesn’t get much attention, and the fascinating individuals making these operations work.
