My biggest GOLD clean up of my life!

I have never seen this much gold in one clean up before. Except on "Gold Rush" or the other TV shows. This was amazing to see this in person. No this is not a record for Tyler, but for me it is a first. What an epic experience this was at this placer mine. I will be back next year for more!

It is amazing how far sluicing has come. It seems like every time you turn around there is a new one and that one with two different ones going at the same time seemed very effective. That was very impressive seeing the amount of gold harvested. I bet the old times would be going nuts seeing these processes. A great video even without the audio.

Great video as always Dan!!! It was awesome to have you out there. One part of the audio that was missed was Dan explaining the weeks total was actually 3 ounces more then what we weighed out. I usually high-grade the gold in the hydraulic riffles and just run the remaining concentrates through the cleanup system. Also Dan explains what my running costs are for myself and to make it short, I am around the 25% mark for fuel and maintenance.

I'm 24 and love fishing. I'm working as an electrical engineer and don't get out as much as I'd like, but your videos have got me to start keeping a 10" gold pan and small snuffer bottle in my tackle bag and if I can't sink a hook, I can usually snipe a few good handfuls of bedrock soil from the river bed and catch a few beautiful flecks. Seeing that gold glint among the black sand on that final wash back in the pan is like nothing else. Love your videos Dan!! Stay healthy!

Awesome video, and so great you had such a fun time. To see that much gold from a one-man operation is mind blowing, but shows what hard work and study can achieve for someone willing to put it all in. I'm sure he enjoys doing it. In terms of the audio problems, even something like a small portable lapel mic and recorder could be a helpful and welcome backup for situations like this. When you go to do your big operation recording work, it'll probably pay off to have that closer mic for better clarity over the noise.

That was pretty cool. I was mildly surprised to see the spiral wheel is still a thing. My dad bought one in Colorado back in the mid 90s. We didn't have too much luck with it but it got limited use and I'm pretty sure the problem was in our material and our skill. The device itself seemed like a good idea. Ours looked almost identical to the one in the video except IIRC ours did not have the water tank built in. I think we used a bucket below it.
