Ant Trying To Find A Payday



I ended up with the gold in the photo. It came from a 5 gallon bucket of samples about ¾ ways full. The dirt came from under and next to the rock I worked under in the video, with about a 5th of the dirt samples being drywashed before panned.

Great videos! Really enjoyed them. Hope to see more. :)

Is there a reason you chose to make them unlisted and not public? You'd get more views.
 

Thanks for sharing, fascinating site you have there ,
 

Hey thanks you guys. The reason that I don't have my videos listed is that I go by 2 different on line screen names, I go my Ant for my metal detecting post and tony270 for my hunting post. I'm more open to the metal detecting crowd than I am the other folks so I post more about my private life. I don't mind if anybody else shares my unlisted videos. I'll record more of my adventures and post them too and those videos will include my drywashing operation. Thanks again you guys. I just broke out my beast. This thing has gotten me access to some of the most difficult sites to make it to:

Sweet videos Ant! And some great looking gold!

If Sherry's husband had to ride one of these to the prospecting spot, I bet he'd be down to go... LoL!
 


I had audio issued on the first video. The audio came out garbled so you can read my written narrative, the audio on the other videos is okay.
These videos document me sampling two different areas trying to find a trail to chase the gold. I’ll post another video of me drywashing some the samples, and all of the gold that I pan out of the consintrates. Just for fun maybe some don't think that I will find any color, or will there be more color from the rocks, traps, and cracks, or from the gravels?














 

The last two:


 

Ant, you're doing good man. Think maybe a vacuum may help? G/L
 

Hey thanks, I had thought about that for years and now I think it is time, lol. Thanks again.

Here are the videos to my drywashing set-up:

Just a boring 7 minute long video of me setting up the 151:



A shot video of the drywasher running.



It has been raining lately so no prospecting in my part of the desert, but I broke out the ATC 250R again:






 

Three more:
