Thank you so much for the kind words. I was extremely lucky on this trip to have such fantastic weather and as for the gold. That was a bonus. I never expected to find that much on my first visit to this place. It can take years to learn river systems so maybe the river gods were looking down on me. Best of luck if you take up this hobby and be mindful of gold fever.

It must be frustrating being so close to it lol. You'll kick yersen if you don't have a go 👍

Thanks for watching Moto Mining. It is a lovely place to spend the day no matter what you are into !

Thank you Brent 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the fantastic comments there Lew and it's great to hear that you have found yourself a new hobby. I wish you all the best of luck as you start out on your adventures. Any tips just ask and I will try my best to help out.

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures hi daz, a guy was sent on his way by the police & river authority, last week on this spot lower down. its probable the fellow who is digging the crater?

@@lewbees9994 really ! There's mining and then there's good old panning. I think some people have different perspectives on the scale of the hobby nowadays.

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures i know , its visible from on google earth, just behind the bridge. for me its about mixing things up and enjoying outdoor adventures. not looking for a quick fix of fortune

Cheers, you could spend all day flying the drone up there it is simply stunning. I was surprised to find that much in one place to be honest.

Thanks for watching and passing on your comments. I never expected to find such nice pieces on this trip.

Thanks for the feedback Conor. The weather was great and the light was really good too on the mountain which does help with things.

Thank you for the kind comments there Ewan, I was hoping to to get back up there at Easter but things never came to fruition for obvious reasons. It's a great hobby and I hope you find some of the good stuff on your next trip.

hi

Yes I think your right there buddy. It's hard trying to please everyone and to cover every possible angle for such a wide audience. I will weigh the gold soon so stay tuned.

There was no weigh in? Man... Glad I read the comment without wasting any more of my time watching... This video is next to pointless without knowing the final weight! XD

@@snaz27 Thanks for taking the time to reply and share your views on the matter regarding the all important weigh in.

@@snaz27 Trust me this video is far from pointless! The amount of information and tips on how to find British gold was great. It's not all about the weigh in, even though it would be nice to get a final tally.It's your loss if you don't watch it, but i'll be definitely subscribing.

@@Lookoutmedia353 - Why would I trust you? I will trust myself, thanks though... For me it is pointless! To be honest even a weigh in is not enough! I want to know how much it cost to travel there, did he stay in a hotel... Basically, what was the profit for the trip... This is the kind of information I would want to know... The rest is fine yeah (how to find gold etc), no problem, but without that other information I mentioned it's useless!

Thank you for this. I asked a Scottish colleague of mine (Glasgow) or a (Weegy)? Who said it was Tin - drum. But I stand corrected by you. Thanks again for this.

MrDazp1 Yes. Tyne Drum. From the Gaelic meaning “ house on the ridge’

I only clicked to see if it'd be pronounced correctly. Tbh it took me a good 10 years of visiting the to learn. Nice drone footage!

@@hlund73 There are places all over the UK that have local place names I can't say correctly and I live near them lol. Slaithwaite is pronounced Slouwit ! You can't win.

Thanks for the comments and thank you for watching.

It's a stunning place to visit and the views are out off this world. The gold is a bonus.

Zoe P The communities were destroyed 200 years ago it was called the highland clearances.

The ground is too shallow to support trees like oak its mostly rock with a bit of top soil.

@@garethzero Scotland was once almost 100% covered in a vast Forest, some of the ancient Caledonian forest which formed after the last ice age can still be found in areas of Tyndrum, most of the deforestation of the Scottish Highlands was a result of subsequent Wars and the need for fuel and building materials for the British Army and Naval forces.. and also the industrial revolution... When you remove a forest you also remove the soil from the land and the ability for people to sustain a living from that land. Tyndrum/ The Highlands could easily have supported Oak trees, before the deforestation.. but the Caledonian Pine tree was dominant in the Highlands.

@Gers Dallas I know it because I have seen them with my own eyes .. The remnance of these ancient forests are preserved for all to see in peat bogs all over the Highlands.

@Gers Dallas www.nature.scot/professional-advice/land-and-sea-management/managing-land/forests-and-woodlands/history-scotlands-woodlands ...... some info.. some of it common sense and obviously it doesn't explain everything.. but it does explain the basics. Enjoy !

Thanks for the comments and yes there is gold in Yorkshire in some rivers. I need to get out to some and prospect. All the best MrDazP1

Thanks for watching, this was my first time at this location and it looks like all the practicing in other parts of the UK paid off.

And a tea spoon.

Thanks for watching , that's a long drive from Amsterdam but Scotland is worth visiting for sure.

Don't dare come to this country. Stay away...

@@maldutch now i have to

I bet it was impressive Lew, that place must move some gold down the valley every year. I'm just putting the final touches to a Leadhills video. I didn't find a lot but learned a lot about the place. Basically I need to live down the road and keep working the same spot every week.

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures it was like the hills were crying, waterfalls everywhere with this spot a dangerous place to be. 2 days later it was like nothing had happened. got lots of spikes on the detector but difficult to move the boulders lol. going back up in a day or two for a session. got the bug two..

@@lewbees9994 great stuff, have fun and best of luck..

You should Callum. there is a lot of gold in the hills all around these parts.

Hello Gary and thanks for the comments. If you can pop over to Scotland you will always be finding gold many locations like Leadhills, Wanlockhead etc. You could try the river Coquet or the rivers in the Northern Pennines near Nenthead. I would research why the Romans wanted to settle near Vindolanda too (Just a thought) The best thing about prospecting is to try your luck on any nearby river or stream and find the bedrock with cracks in it or where the gravels are covering the bedrock.

hi

Did you jave to get land owners permission etc to prospect

On this trip I did not, gold panning seems to be accepted up here.

Thanks for that, where would you recommend trying. It's my first time up Scotland panning

I think a lot came from the Lowther hills. Thanks for the reply.

I thought it was buckfast lids 🤔🤣

But on a serious note I went up to the wigwams to stay with me friends and I said on the second day this steam next to our huts has loads of gold in it, my friend said no chance 😒 I literally walked over to the stream and picked up some sand from under a stone and walked back to my friends and said here's some gold.... 3 tiny little flecks of gold 👏🏼 the looks on their face 🤣 There is GOLD everywhere in Scotland 👍🏼

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures The gold used for the crown was found in the Craufurd Hills

@@OldestYoungenInGuidePost It will be in most streams I suspect.

Welcome aboard Thomas and thanks for watching the videos , cheers budddy.

Thanks you for your kind comments. I have a few more to edit but they can take quite a while to edit if I start to think about every shot and what music fits where . Stay tuned.

To right Rasta.

He thought he was fishing lol

It was perfect weather. I couldn't believe my luck.

Cheers Gary

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate comments such as this as I am working on my editing techniques this year with a new approach. Cheers.

You made it to the end . Thank you for 34minutes and 11 seconds of your time lol.

Haha great response, what do you mean by renewable planning when throwing the gold back into the water? Hello from Wales btw.

@@martin096 he said "renewable _panning_" -- presumably the idea being that he is panning for fun, not for profit, so the gold is returned to the river so other people can partake in the hobby. The natural processes by which the gold becomes available in the stream bed take much longer than the human processes to extract it so if the gold was not returned it would become depleted at that location and the hobby would be less sustainable.

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Great video , like the camera work and music

@@martin096 Hello from Wales. I was there a few days after this trip. Throwing the gold back is my strange sense of humour and I am not into the gold for it's worth. It's a great subject to film and share to the world.

I thought the gold here was pushed up from England by a tsunami in ancient times (joke) it looks courser than the other stuff I've found. But what a fantastic place to simply walk around let alone go prospecting.

@james jezinvedn not for much longer we won't, Brexit has made sure of that

Then that makes you a very lucky person . You can't go wrong up there pal.

Thanks for watching and commenting, this is a fantastic part of Scotland to explore and there is a lot of gold up in these mountains

Thank you ALE Melchemko 👍, I am always trying to develop my editing skills with the basic equipment I have and there is some great gold to be had in the UK, it just isn't widely put out there for all to know.

I guess you will have to keep guessing on that one lol.

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures on the bolts and wing nuts on your sluice you said it is kinda disrupting the flow just turn them over wingnuts on the bottom

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I couldn't even understand what you said there I'm so confused "And like all the gold that I find out ?????????????????? panning ?????????????? back to the river."

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m6mfiZOHyK2Vcn0.html I do try the Welsh streams Scots D.

Most people try the main mountains in north Wales and snowdonia, but the Brecon Beacons especially the southern end and the Black mountains are geologically similar and may be worth a shot too - keep up the great work I love the high production values, which beats some production quality on TV.

@@Scots_Diesel Thanks Scots D. Yes there are parts all over Wales and the UK where the good bedrock seems to be mudstone. Stay tuned my friend.

All Wedding rings for the royal family are made from welsh gold by tradition?

been there got the tee shirt thanks

I did ok on this spot and must have picked all the bits left behind by so many other panners Matt

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures The edeting in that video was fantastic,

Thanks Matt, it goes to show what ordinary members of the public can create with a PC and a few gadgets.

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Afew months ago I bought a ation 4 camera,and its fun doing videos,,but its not as easy as people think edeting,Im getting better, I need a better laptop,the DJI app on mobile phone can only do so much,I think the secret to edeting is planing?

It's all about using the timeline to tell the story. Look at unsyncing the audio too. You can over lay your narration with a B role shot. They use picture / story boards in the film industry to give the camera man an idea of what they want. There's a lot to learn and it's a great part of any hobby that you might be trying to film.

Cheers buddy, It took me a while to get the confidence to fly a drone . It's a lot of money tied up into a technical gadget where the slightest mistake could be game over. They have a mode called "Tripod " which slows the controls and the speed down by loads which makes for some cinematic footage in tight spaces.

Sure thing

creek no YOU MEAN BURN

The Queen lays claim to all gold mined/panned in the UK so it would be a criminal offense to take it.

@@ibzkoty that's not true you are allowed to pan rivers.

@@terrydavis6368 on who's land ? Permit

@@bradleylofthouse5185 nobody owns river beds in the UK.

Ha ha cheers dadsat

Great story to hear there Ram. Isn't it a magical place. Thanks for watching Ram.

I enjoy developing my editing and film making hobby and find the gold prospecting a great subject to work with. For me it's about proving it is there or not. I have received strongly worded replies for showing the tiniest of pieces in other films but to me it's never a waste of time or about finding that £50k nugget. This is my prospecting journey so far and hopefully a few more trips to come. I wouldn't even know who to sell it to. Thanks for the comments and dropping by.

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures i appreciate that you are just doing what you love but personally i think if you did sell the gold and give it back to the community in which you found it, it would be such a humble thing to do and people would really respect you for it. I dont think it would be to hard to find a buyer. People sell their flakes on ebay. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alaskan-Yukon-BC-Gold-Rush-Nuggets-6-Mesh-10-GRAMS-OF-CLEAN-GOLD-FLAKES/142964187549?hash=item214954619d:g:dg8AAOSwFxdb9O0i

Why do people fish and release their catch? Not everybody does stuff for material gain, some enjoy the recreation. I've heard of groups of people who walk for hours but aren't actually going anywhere, they call it "hiking". Mindblowing stuff!

@@krashd Cheers Rob. I love editing and the gold prospecting is a great subject. Can I ask you how you came across this video .?

For me, it just goes againt instinct to throw something away after putting so much effort into finding it. Gold lasts for-ever, its pretty, it's valuable. Its the perfect collectable.

For me it was a very positive and memorable experience and well worth the trip. It's only a bit of fun at the end of the day.

Whatever makes you happy I suppose. 🤔 just seems like alot of work for nothing. You should have at least brought the gold home. But in saying that there's probably a law against it up here. Knowing how fucked up some of our laws are lol

KNIGHT INDUSTRIES 3000 If he got all that gold which is in the picture at 33:15 in a day or weekend then its not as bad as it seem's, it look.s to me to be at least 2 to 4 grams but its hard to tell from the photo, if it is, its worth £ 60 to £110, which would amount up to a nice Christmas bonus if he was to go there ever weekend for 12 month's

@@err4071 he threw it all back again when he was done.. that to me is a waste of time. All that work for zero pay! If it was me I would keep the gold save it up till I had a good amount then sell it.

@@knight-pg8gk True buddy :)

Hello Dawn, thanks for the comments, I was lucky with the weather and found some good gold after a bit of looking up and down the burn. It's only 4 hours from our neck o' the woods and stunning.

Cheers Jason, I have one more panning video to edit soon

Hi James and thanks for discovering my video. There is a gold mine in this little village about to take off and their reports look excellent for the recovery ratios. All the best from the UK buddy

Hey thanks for watching Hungry P, and I appreciate your comments. This was a pretty good adventure which I will never forget.

It is an amazing place to walk around and to me every spot looks like it could have a bucket full of gold. This was my first time up here prospecting having cycled past it on my John O' Groats to Land's End and visa Versa bike rides.

Thanks for watching, KZfaq is the future.

Cheers Chris

Thanks for sharing your thoughts , it's very much appreciated Mr Martian.

Thanks 👍 Muhammed, it is hard work I will tell you that !

No worries Patrick

This place is amazing. It has breathtaking scenery and you won't be disappointed if you visit it.

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Even better! I'm really keen on landscape photography too, so I'm certainly not going to get bored there!

April can be a good time. No midges ....

I am believer of work hard and play hard so you will get to play at some stage and it will be worth it. Embracing the great out doors is good for the soul. Good luck with your new dream mat and let us know how you get on with your adventure.

Hi Joe, there's always an element of luck when prospecting a new river and on this occasion I was very fortunate to have good weather and some lovely bedrock to work on.

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures lol luck thats a good one! I'm a prospector in northern California and in my experience luck has little to do with it, you found good ground and worked it hard, mate you earned that gold fair and square. now get out there and find some chunks that make those pickers look like fly poop! Happy prospecting!!!

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures can you siphon dredge there? That creek would be perfect for a 2 or 2 1/2 inch siphon dredge set up

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures lookup gravity dredging bro that's the way

@@joediggings844 Ha ha , nice one Joe, there is a lot of really good gold to be found in the UK ......believe it or not ! I am new to the hobby and still learning but as for dredging , it's not permitted. I'm not sure about gravity pumps too buddy but I like the idea of what you are saying. Thanks for watching and commenting , cheers

Cheers Magni1, it was a few years ago now but I should a few more videos from Scotland to edit over the coming months

I only dance when I'm drunk Southpaw and that ain't a pretty site. You need to visit here next time you're on a home visit.

Hey cheers Bruce. I guess I had a very lucky time at the river and the weather was perfect. Thanks for watching buddy.

Cheers buddy, this was a fantastic experience and one that I will never forget.

It really is Arthur. I love it up here .

Thank you too Brent

Thanks for the comments and feedback. More to come soon I can't wait.

Thanks for watching Gordon. I was surprised at how well I did as this was my first visit .

Hello Jake, it's a great hobby to get into for sure. We all need a bit of patience and some good luck at times. I was planning to be up there as we speak but unfortunately all the best made plans of mice and men springs to mind

Cheers.

Thanks for watching Mark n' Dean really appreciate the comments and feed back. There could be a few specs in the Irwell at the Burrs you never know. Stay safe and cheers form a pretty cold village not too far away...

Will be turning 50 in a few weeks and after watching your review of the air arms tx200 have one on order and am looking forward to a bit of mid life plinking haha.But Iwill have to draw the line at panning for gold down by the river roach lol 😆🤣😂😄

@@motorhead1971xxx Now that's a top notch piece of kit Mark and I'm sure it will give you hours and hours of fun. I was talking with a local guy who's into his airguns who is based in Bury and I think he shoots indoors somewhere on the Bolton side at a shooting centre. We all need a hobby to look forward to pal, especially at the moment.

Great tip and super comments thanks for watching Matt.

It certainly is a fantastic place , thanks for watching.

Thank you for the feedback Richard.

Cheers for the great feedback it is always appreciated and makes it seem worth the while.

Cheers Mayhem P, the drone really adds that little extra touch to the videos when you are trying to tell the story. I use a DJI Crystal monitor for the connection to the drone via a clever little mount which looks really neat. I will check your channel out too.

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I have never seen that, I'll look into it! But I absolutely agree, not only does it make epic B roll but it lets the viewer really see everything about the location! Heck yeah bro thank you!

Thanks for dropping by Timoka

Cheers , I did get a bit excited at one point and it's funny looking back when I couldn't even find a fishing weight lol.

Thanks for replying Highlander. I bet you get to some fantastic locations.

I agree 👍

What a top location this is. I too can't wait to return but will be visiting another river tomorrow in Wales.

Cheers.

Thanks for watching Zulfiqar , On some trips you can find nothing and fortunately for me on this one there was a wee bit of the good stuff waiting to be found.

Thanks for watching Roger. I went to this location having watched other videos and was under the impression that it was accepted. I would try to seek permission where ever possible though.

Great comment and thank you for acknowledging this. I didn't know how to start it and whether to do 3 videos or what. But after using the drone shots as the main highlights for the impact, I worked around the theme to get it to where it was. I have a part 2 coming soon with Outtakes and clips that just didn't fit. Thanks again for replying.

Thanks for watching and sharing a comment.

Thanks for watching, yes not bad for my first trip there.

They reckon Cornwall's gold is a thing of beauty Paul, keep on searching and let us know how you get on. Best of luck with the hunt !

Thank you for the kind words. It's been a steep learning curve over the last few years to get to this stage. You comments are much appreciated.

I don't normally find enough to weigh to be honest. Stay tuned my friend for some extra bits and a weigh in as a part 2.

Thank you for the comments. They take a bit longer to edit these days but I want to try to tell the story as best as I can.

Thanks for watching Gary. It's a fun little hobby. Good luck.

Interesting stuff. It must gather some pace very quickly when it rains heavily up there. I could see lots of concrete ducting on one section which must have been moved by the water.

Cheers Memet

I don't know the area at all so just took everything in my Arsenal and started walking and looking for likely spots. I reckon there are some really good spots for sniping on a lot of sections too.
