Big, beautiful North American Placer!! Freakin' fantastic!!!

Unbelievable video of big North American gold nuggets + new finds, pics, videos added: a live thread, so please post your gold shots.
I'll add other videos or stills of big nuggety North American gold as I find them.

This video starts slow, but it's shot underground, so give it a while and then watch out that you don't have a freakin' heart attack!!

I hope you love looking at this as much as I did--every placer miner's dream come true. If you're a rookie, you'll get the fever bad watching this one. (To avoid any confusion, this is not my video, nor is it my clean-up, nor was I involved in any way--I found it by mistake after typing in a search word incorrectly [that's why I'd never found it before], but I sure do love it!!)



Almost 3,800 ounces in the last shot--fines are in the large plastic bags. 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle!

All the best,

Lanny

P.S. I posted it with my beginner's thread as well, but it's so great it deserves it's own place too.

T-Net not letting us see the pics Lanny (or the site where they reside is restricting us?)...

That is a strange one. If I log off and go browse as a guest, I can see them, but obviously there's an issue.

Hopefully I'll find a solution.

All the best,

I go back and watch that video from the beginning of the thread every so often. I found some more great videos out there. Hope everyone enjoys them.

Great videos. Don't know if you noticed but the preview of videos at the end of the first video includes one by our own Reed Lukens. One other video is of a man using a plastic honeycomb frame (looks sort of like punch plate but with closed bottom) used by beekeepers, as a pan to concentrate fine sands and gold from shovelfuls of gravel.....very interesting and a method to quickly clear oversize and other waste materials like silt.

Feeding a sluice with a bulldozer..............I wonder what kind of gold loss they had BUT it sure took the labor out of it ! I guess they made up for the loss by the quantity of gold !
