Rest in peace Dale. I'm sure he's looking down proud at you Andy for keeping the dream alive.

While finding the Gold is a dream come true, don't forget to take some time to appreciate the real gold in the countryside that you are working in. To my Australian eyes, your countryside is amazingly lush and green with vibrant colours and lots of water available. It must smell so fresh after it rains. That is the real gold, so take good care of your land and water.

I'm not crying. Are you crying? On a serious note, that was a wonderful tribute to your step-father. And speaking as a step parent, I'm 100% certain he was just as proud of you as he would have been if you were his own child. There's a certain pride a step parent feels when their step-kids take an interest in what they do and want to do that with you. Even more when they carry forward and apply all the things you taught them well beyond their teenage years. Without knowing Dale, I can guarantee he felt this pride with you. Can't wait to see more videos and hear about your journeys.

The true gold isn't just whats in the pan at the end on the day, its in the memories shared and the journey experienced. So Sorry for your loss Andy and family. RIP Dale.

I'm always blown away by your videos andy , and your a stellar human ✨ 👌 just want to toss that out there. Keep on keeping on brother thraxx

The dream !! gave me goosebumps, the intro was wicked , the gold was and is what dreams are made of , AUsome video Andy could watch it over and over . Thanks for giving us little guys footsteps to follow in !! You sir are a legend !!

Great video Andy. You've showed us that a small family-business style mining operation is possible. Looking forward to see more of your work at Trout Creek. Oh yeah, and the girls say Hi!

Omg you make me emotional ( I cried ) what a beautiful end !!! and I love to see how you work and your purpose

The gold ain't in the pan,the gold is in the MAN!!! Thanks for sharing your dream,and bringing us along on your adventure!! Can't wait to see what's next!!! Keep up the good work, You Dig!!

Sorry for your loss and he wasn't able to see your success with this mine. He will always be with you bc you will be reminded of him by everything you do. Dale taught you so much that every aspect of life is a reminder of a great man. Looking forward to your next adventure which I hope is Dan Hurds site.

Sorry for your loss Andy. Kudos for seeing the dream through right to the end. You are a class act!

Loved the journey hope to see the next one and sorry for your loss, im sure he is proud you finished it.

Fabulous tribute Andy!!! Another stellar video, great to see you continuing your pursuit! Loved it.

Awesome job Andy!!! Congrats!!! So happy for you! You and Bryan are the most inspirational miners I know!!!

My condolences to you and your family on your loss, Andy. Thank you for letting us share in the ongoing adventure!!!

Keep the Dream going! Loss is never easy, while we loose we never forget the good times and great memories. Cheering you on from the West Coast.

Fascinating journey and some of the best video I’ve seen. My stepdad passed away some years ago as well. There is a special place in heaven for the man who took on a mouthy 14 year old, my kid brother, and my mom who loved to argue. He would not argue with her, just walk off which made her even madder. It’s funny now to look back on it. Nine job on the mine. Much luck in the future.

Man, your production value is off the charts! Some of the best prospecting/mining videos on KZfaq. Nice work, one hell of a miner

Words to live by. Thank you Andy for an entertaining and touching video.

What an amazing video Andy! I'm sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing that slide show, I can tell y'all were extremely close and with time I hope the hurt Will fade and I pray the memory's last forevermore. Neat wrap up on the mine can't wait to see the next one!

I am so sorry for your loss Andy. He's up there proudly watching out for you.

Andy I'm sure Dale would be proud. Fantastic looking gold. Great video too, thanks!

Very sorry for your loss. Wonderful pictures that you shared. I see a lot of hard work. But you appear in your element and happy with the results. Much success as you move onward. A man with his dog. A winning combination. It’s been fun to watch. Thank you Andy. Come back soon.

RIGHT ON BROTHER!!! I have been waiting patiently and it was a great video. We will be cheering you on from Ohio

Awesome operation and I first saw you last month from Dan Hurds video! Nothing but love and respect!!! Keep living your dream and I pray that you never stop finding the absolute best cleanups in every wash!!! You are truly an inspiration, and I pray that I can find a way to make it into something similar. Not for my self, but for my children to have something of value once I am gone. God Bless and Heavy Pans!!!

Thanks for sharing your adventure 🏆 looking forward to seeing your next project, Thanks from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Andy this is the 3rd episode that I’ve watched and I’ve already fell in love with you and your operation. You sir have gained a new subscriber.

You have certainly done your step dad and family proud. Onwards and upwards fella 👍

Thanks Andy love the video sorry for your loss

Love your videos Andy. I am so sorry for your loss 💞 I look forward to seeing you soon. K keep cool

A perfect mixture of fun, work, and play!! Thanks for sharing 👍👍 Tibbs

Just found your channel - sub'ed. Thanks for sharing the adventure! When you are wrenching on the wash plant this winter please consider more water in your boil box - very dirty rocks are going out off the grizzly bars. Also consider a couple of pieces of angle bars in the trommel - the rocks aren't tumbling in there and leaving with too much good material on them Looking forward to your next season!

I subscribed just due to the opening! Very well done. Can’t wait to binge watch 🤣

I'm sure your stepfather is resting in peace knowing you're doing well mining and have the Skills to get it done nomatter what comes your way in the future! Sorry to hear of his passing, wishing best of luck that you find many Good Ones in this next seasons mining! Great vid as always!

Superb result Andy. good luck with the next venture. Living the dream mate.

Well done..I wouldn't drink the nectar either. Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦 CGP

You knew what you were going to do by age 10🍻! There's alot of sentiment and a big picture of what the right guidance and support can for the future of your kids compressed into this video.....volumes! Best wishes to you and your family 🤝.

💖🌟💖 Beautiful tribute to your step father, Andy. May he rest in peace and watch over you from here on. 💖🌟💖

Brilliant work dude just brilliant.! You work hard and get rewarded for it. Thank you for sharing with us and for going through the effort to film it.! Cant wait for the new adventures to come.! 🤙👍🤙

Awesome that you and your Dad got to do this !! I loss my dad before we could do this ,but My son joins me when he can ! wish you nothing but the best on the next ground

Nice job on such a hard working operation (finding the gold in the ground) and yes you succeeded it. Congrads Andy and much props to the video footage.

Love your videos Andy! I'm sorry for your loss, your step father sounds like he was a great man. My grandpa's two biggest loves in life were prospecting/mining his claim up in northern BC and hunting for moose. Unfortunately he sold the claim years ago and he's too old to do either of those things now. The last time I was on the mine with him I was too young to really help out with much or understand what was really happening. None the less mining for gold is in my blood and being able to learn from and enjoy your videos is a real treat, I know my grandpa's happy there's someone like you out there I can watch and learn from. You, Pauly, Dan Herd, the whole crew, you're all the best!

Congrats on a job well done Andy, and sorry to hear about your loss. Can't wait to see what comes next! Heavy pans

Nice yearly total Andy. ! Sorry to hear about your pops. Have a good one ! 👍⚒🍀😎

Good luck to you in the future! Congratulations on a successful season

Great show, love the program!😉

Omg my classic Sebo laugh at 0:36 lol....LOve it...Man i enjoy watching your videos everytime... lots of care and energy put into not only your videos but also your mining operation, inlcuding reclamation... so many good times and friends made along the way .. Cant wait till our next adventure and your next video

Hi Andy , it's the old guy from Ontario here again . Everything about your adventures was a wonderful learning experience for myself and I'm sure all that watched , I must say that the last few minutes of this amazing video had me smiling with dampened eyes . Here's to wishing you a healthy and prosperous new season in your journey through life , best regards as always from Lloyd somewhere here in Ontario Canada .

That is the right and proper way to honor The Man!!

Your step father would be proud. You, Pioneer Pauly, and Jeff Williams for some comedy make watching fun, and give us the determination to want to try different methods. I just came across your site. Glad I did. Will be shared.

Great stuff Andy! That's awesome!!

Awesome my friend. Good luck and sorry for your loss.

Cant wait to see what you get up to in the future. Awesome result in memory of a amazing man.

Respect to you and thank you for sharing so much valuable knowledge for new guys like me. Learning a ton

First notification of you on KZfaq good luck this season Andy

Great tribute at the end.

Yo Andy, great season buddy. You are one of the most hard working, modest and relatable guys on KZfaq doing the mining thing. Love the content, my friend. Keep it up, and ill be looking forward to the next project you got going with Dan Hurd. Can't wait to see your videos running the pay on that bench. I truly hope you guys can hit the million dollar mark between the two dig sites. That front half has good gold, so I know you are gonna be scraping the bedrock to get some chunky nuggets. Best of luck with everything! You guys deserve to strike it rich and find some golfball and baseball size nuggets!!

Well done mate 👍🏽👍🏽 what an adventure.

Kudos to you to stay the course and do your step father proud.

sorry for your loss brother,Dale would be proud of how you succeeded.

Congratulations mate I love ur vids and extremely happy for you to reach your goal and dreams 🤙👌

Wow brother. What a great video. The ending was very special. I’m certain your step father was very close during your mining adventure.

My condolences to you and your family, Andy.

Hello from Idaho. Been following you for the last year or so. I've always wondered if it was for fun or a job. Now I understand congrats on your success even if bittersweet.
