place your magnet in a metal container that has a good handle on it and after your magnet is loaded with heavys just pull the container of the magnet and all the heavys will fall off with ease.
Hey Shane, that seems to be a great way to test a river bank or channel. Like you said, where there is black sand there is gold. If you prospect with a magnet, and you pull up black sand, that would mark a good dig site. I’ll have to give it some more thought, but I think you are on to something. Steve @ DigDug Gold
I think you have gold as well as you were getting black sand. A STRONG magnet is your friend in the river. However ck out the video…How to separate black sand from your gold by Two Toes on you tube. He says a weak magnate is what you need to separate the sand from the gold….and to do it at home later after it is thourghly dry. But I BET YOU HAVE GOLD.. gOOD THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!!
When all was done what did your gold weigh from the 5 lbs of sand? P;ease let me know. I'm in NE about 50 miles from Chey. Wyo. and Golden CO is not far off
I'm surprised that your camera isn't glitching out (considering the fact that if you put any sort of nice sized magnets next to a electronic) like crazy
We always used magnets over our sluices to remove the magnetics… We called it the magnetic bridge. Magnets in a wooden box… Oh, and try an orbital pattern when panning.
Not bragging but I am a gold magnet, I don't know what it is but I have found rings gold chains never found a gold coin yet and that a lot of rings and chains and Crosses and penates all gold, mom told me about a great-aunt she had and she found rings and gold chains all the time too, someone asked how she did it? She said you got to look down at all times otherwise you won't find anything, hahaha anyways I found more gold not looking for it then with my metal detector.
Gold? Oh, RIGHT lol. I could watch Magnetite vs Magnet all day. Its fun to watch how it moves and stretches! Yes..I am Blonde(easily amused), well I was, till the other "B" phase of hair struck me! I went "Green", its my Solar Panel for Brain Power LOL Imagine how much those Old Time Prospectors could have scored with this stuff! Guessing the reason that they didnt use Magnets, was lack of access to Magnets?
So, I used to work in the scrap industry. We had electromagnets, which would be possible to use in your separating but the way you did it was just as good. Except !. You could make yourself an AUTOMATIC electromagnetic drum separator !.
They work by passing the material down a ramp ( so it gravity feeds itself) then onto the surface of a drum. The drum has electro magnets inside so that as it rotates the material that is magnetic sticks.
You have to picture the drum curving around, you pass its surface through brushes maybe then as it curves back up to the top of the drum, the electromagnets switch off.
Hard to describe, but it is automatic, and quite effective.
Here is a commercial one. https://www.insmartsystems.in/minerals/mineral-beneficiation-sub/magnetic-separation/liddpms-2/ If they have wet ones, they have dry ones too, stands to reason.
yeh, i will die laughing at your pathetic 'Gold' find and the fact NOTHING was showing in your pan and if it was there you need to get rid of the garnets and other crap, more wasted time on tiny Ghost Gold worth nothing more than a buck 54 . ps. try metal detecting over crevasses, clooect the crud from within and put in a pan and do some 'panning' – you may get nails and such but far more gold than your effortless magnet fishing
The gold that was picked up by the first magnet was mostly a by-catch to the black sand that was being picked up, as evidenced by the second cleanup which left the gold in the pan after using the second magnet.
If you see this, I feel like you could make a big electro magnet and put it under a large container of this stuff, cuz then all the magnetic stuff would follow the field lines and you could shake it to grt the non magnetic stuff out
Fun video although I would have liked to see what your finished yield was. The pink sand like Garnet looked pretty cool in itself. Live close by to Boulder so I may have to give this a try. I also am looking for a place to hunt for Geodes. Thanks for giving some of that info out also.
Lol at the lady selling the spiral wheel. Totally wrong. There are 3 different adjustments that can be done to get the gold or this equipment wouldnt even exist…gold is in black sand…it was made to extract gold…from black sand. Smdh
interesting. This would be a good way to find a concentration of black sand quickly, to give a good idea of if a place on a river may have gold for a proper bucket. After all, if there is no black sand, what are the chances of gold ?
ok ok i subscribed, i don't want to die just yet there is still gold out there to be found. the magnet is great for getting black sand, but you have to wonder how much gold is not mixed in with the black sand and is being left behind, if only there were a way to attract the gold somehow, even at the color levels, it would be awesome.
I don't know if this has already been said before, but it is possible to pick up Iron Infested Nuggets with a pretty powerful magnet. I have a video on my youtube channel where i demonstrate this and this is why I never use discrimination when detecting becasue it will cancel out the iron, but also any small trace of gold inside it!!! Heres the link if you want to have a look, commentary is in Italian but just skip over to 50 seconds and you will see!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSwzHUw0agE
You left all the gold at the river and brought home the iron. Gold is not magnetic. The next person will appreciate you making it more profitable for them though.
I'm thinking that if you had a second stronger magnet you placed on the outside bottom of your plastic bucket, then the black sand would drop off of your 'fishing' magnet when you bring them close together. That'd be easier than you trying to peel it off with your fingers?
Awesome video! I can imagine taking all that black sand from that bucket and give it the good ol aqua regia acid bath putting gold in liquid state and see what gold precipitates back into solid state after it refining process
Ive known oldimers to recover gold from magntite after crushing it to super fine dust They ran it over a copper sheet with mercury stuck to it After scraping the amalgamated Copper sheet A cast iron pan and a hollowed out Potato half to burn off merc Then a bath in nitric
Looks like you have a good way to test some spots but just remember always save your black sand magnetic black sand and non-black Medics saying is worth money also you can Crush you're saying you're Black Sands both of the magnetic and regular and get gold out of them some places more than other but I like your idea thank you
You might try wrapping your magnet like a gift, using heavy duty saran wrap, or industrial stretch wrap, securing it with rubber bands. Much easier to recover the sand from the magnet by simply unwrapping it in your bucket. Great idea though, and you never know what else you might pick up with your magnet. If it was me, I'd run your sands through a miller table. Very effective, but somewhat time consuming. This might make a good project for those cold winter days when you've still got the gold bug, but don't feel like freezing to death in the river. Love your videos – please keep it up!
If this video has 500,000 views or more and you don't subscribe, you will die.

Steve @ DigDug Gold
Well that was a huge waste of efforts lol might as well just spot pan all day at the river.
hahaha hope to share our experience about gold prospecting men.
Thanks for making your videos, my daughter and I watch you all the time. Keep up the good work✌️ Brett & Lilly
What was the jet dry for??
What if there's a nugget the size of an egg in that location, we'll never know.
Scuse me but Gold is Not magnetic
Think i seen one tiny speck of gold.. man what a waste of time effort an money

Howdy mister, your using the wrong kinda magnet for gold. Normal magnets will not attract gold.
Was the geocache ever recovered? Do you have any other videos of looking for them
how did I miss this one awesome scenery man back in the day of the gold rush wonder what it was like
I wonder if you picked up gold with the black sand when you separated the dry material
You know, there are some blacksmith channels that would love that black sand.
put a plastic bag around the magnet, you will able to clean off all that black sand by simply pulling off the bag when your done.
I'm surprised that your camera isn't glitching out (considering the fact that if you put any sort of nice sized magnets next to a electronic) like crazy
I like the magnet for the black sand.
Very interesting, I've always done well with a pan. You have my attention…
We always used magnets over our sluices to remove the magnetics…
We called it the magnetic bridge. Magnets in a wooden box…
Oh, and try an orbital pattern when panning.
Nice channel and awesome video. Will give you a shoutout on my channel!
I want to do this in UK lol
That little pan full … how much was it worth .. $5, $10? Just curious. 😎
Not bragging but I am a gold magnet, I don't know what it is but I have found rings gold chains never found a gold coin yet and that a lot of rings and chains and Crosses and penates all gold, mom told me about a great-aunt she had and she found rings and gold chains all the time too, someone asked how she did it?

By the way I'm 67
i would but waste of time !!!!!!
15:29 i got really worried about your camera…
BTW i just suscribed !
Gold? Oh, RIGHT lol. I could watch Magnetite vs Magnet all day. Its fun to watch how it moves and stretches! Yes..I am Blonde(easily amused), well I was, till the other "B" phase of hair struck me!

Aquachigger is the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!
Well then.
The gold that was picked up by the first magnet was mostly a by-catch to the black sand that was being picked up, as evidenced by the second cleanup which left the gold in the pan after using the second magnet.
This was cool! Thank you for sharing this.
I have been watching you're video's for 4 dang hours help me
If you see this, I feel like you could make a big electro magnet and put it under a large container of this stuff, cuz then all the magnetic stuff would follow the field lines and you could shake it to grt the non magnetic stuff out
Do you know about the spin-it-off tool from Columbia River Mining ?
Go Aquachigger!
How long do you dry out the sand in the oven? You said it takes awhile, so I was trying to get a rough estimate. Also where did you get your magnet?
I haven’t finished your video, I am predicting you will find 1/2 half ounce of gold
Where do you get your magnet at spawned by address or business where I can pick one up I'll buy them from you
Fun video although I would have liked to see what your finished yield was. The pink sand like Garnet looked pretty cool in itself. Live close by to Boulder so I may have to give this a try. I also am looking for a place to hunt for Geodes. Thanks for giving some of that info out also.
I like the use of the 550 cord
I hope you find more gold
Lol at the lady selling the spiral wheel. Totally wrong. There are 3 different adjustments that can be done to get the gold or this equipment wouldnt even exist…gold is in black sand…it was made to extract gold…from black sand. Smdh
Looking for yellow metal and u forgot silver platinum palladium titanium zircon diamond particular points in mysterious black sand
Epic idea. Going to give this 1 a try cheers buddy

There are a few gold pieces in there but all the shiny stuff is not gold.
Maybe I will move to Colorado just to be near that prospecting store.
Well..how much weight did you pull out.
how about some sort of gas-powered shop vac to suck up everything?
oh man i could watch you pick the stuff up with a magnet all day it looks so cool!!!!

Real gold is not magnetic.
I could def use this magnet process where I live in deeper areas. Thanks for the run through. Love the videos.
jeff williams is pissed thats his gold
You left all the gold at the river and brought home the iron. Gold is not magnetic. The next person will appreciate you making it more profitable for them though.
Ahh Haa!! I was subbed so,, all good here!
Awesome
Can we get gold through magnet any where? Any stream or any river in the world??? Or it's specific area??
How much was the grand total weight? Also what was the jet dry for?
Im confused about one thing, gold is metallic so why wasn't the gold sticking to the powerful magnet???
Check the YT site of Maximov Ro from Russia check how he uses a magnet to catch big nuggets of gold.
Right on cool 😎 idea 💡
5:27 is that a little stone statue of sum sort sitting on the rock in the river to the right jus watching you Magnet Fish His river. Lol
Thanks for sharing that’s really awesome man this old Jar head thanks you
Hello good magnet
I'm thinking that if you had a second stronger magnet you placed on the outside bottom of your plastic bucket, then the black sand would drop off of your 'fishing' magnet when you bring them close together. That'd be easier than you trying to peel it off with your fingers?
You can't find gold with a magnet because it's not steal. It is non-magnetic as well as silver. It's like trying to find diamonds with a magnet
Awesome video! I can imagine taking all that black sand from that bucket and give it the good ol aqua regia acid bath putting gold in liquid state and see what gold precipitates back into solid state after it refining process
Impressive! Well done, I also learned a new technique today, thank you. Genius, really. Keep up the great videos… (+++)
Gold is not magnetic
How do you know they have golds in that river?
Muy bueno
Ive known oldimers to recover gold from magntite after crushing it to super fine dust
They ran it over a copper sheet with mercury stuck to it
After scraping the amalgamated
Copper sheet
A cast iron pan and a hollowed out
Potato half to burn off merc

Hang on gold is not magnetised piyrite is also known as fools gold
I’ll be given it a go because where I go there is a lote of fine Gold and Heaps of real fine black Sand and big magnetics as well
I do have a few magnets on my clean up sluice
I liked it , it work for me .
Copper rock
You rock it work . I started to pick up copper .
i never knew there was stores like that huh got me thinkin
I don't see the point. A few days of doing this and you might earn enough money to pay for the green pan.
Where is this place? And thanks for pre cleaning my gold!!!
Look inn the pen dude
Better keep your regular job. I think you will go hungry doing this.
Looks like iron pyrite
"If sending Fan Mail, please include the following": (BIG LIST) LOL! NOT worth Watching!
I'd get a little mini slice with gold cube mat or deep vgroove to get the ultra fines out.
You might try wrapping your magnet like a gift, using heavy duty saran wrap, or industrial stretch wrap, securing it with rubber bands. Much easier to recover the sand from the magnet by simply unwrapping it in your bucket. Great idea though, and you never know what else you might pick up with your magnet. If it was me, I'd run your sands through a miller table. Very effective, but somewhat time consuming. This might make a good project for those cold winter days when you've still got the gold bug, but don't feel like freezing to death in the river. Love your videos – please keep it up!
What about using a slow sluice with magnets under it? Since the gold will move slowly over the magnet. Or will magnet just stick the black sand to it?
So 3 hours of work yielded how much gold? What was the dollar value of your work? Is this something to make a living at?
I actually do it here in California rivers
Gold like aluminum is not magnetic.
Sry but I had to stop video when I seen you climbing Rocky loose sloops in open toe flip flops……
