Where Can I Find Gold In Washington State?

Watch this to get you started looking for gold in Washington state. Let me know in the comments how this helps you find more gold. Enjoy!

I live in a town called Gold Bar not far from the mine you spoke of...on a small river...why am I not panning gold instead watching freakin YouTube all the damn time lol

Mt.St.Helens, day in my life I shall never forget.I am so glad to hear it. I tired panning for gold did not get none,but it was fun.

I live near the Similkameen River, Eastern Wa. Next Sunday I am going to check if I can get to one of my favorite panning spots yet. I still have several inches of snow in the mts. where I live. I have been watching you for a few days now. I think you are a very good teacher.

I always enjoy your thumbs up videos. Thank you for sharing.

Adding geo thermo maps to your presentation would be great. Mylandmatters has a easy layout for these maps. Looking over the geo thermo deposit maps really helped me understand why there isn't gold in some areas like Portland and it's surrounding areas as well as not much in southern Washington while there is in abundance in north east Washington

i'm starting to explore the glacial gravels around the Puget sound. these gravels were deposited during the last glacial advance, both down from the Fraser river and the Cascade Range

Vancouver, WA here; I've been thinking about learning how to Gold pan. I think it would be a fantastic hobby to learn. Great video!!

Nice 👍 ty Jess

One very significant mine in the area not mentioned is the liberty mine. They pulled out some insane nuggets out of their drift mine!

Yakima river had lots of gold taken out of it back in the early days still some there I live close to Carson and yes the same county st Hellen’s in there a old gold mine on wind river it’s been there for years they try to get a permit to process it but no they don’t let them if you had big money you could haul the Ore off and process it near Portland or Vancouver in a safe spot and resell the rock and get the gold also, I think it would be affordable to do because gravel is so valuable in the Portland area

When the Condit dam (White Salmon river, Washington) was taken away, there was a centuries long buildup of sediment behind the dam. When is was first blown open, all that sediment went down stream in a huge torrent, and probably deposited gold for miles below the dam and 3.3 miles to the Columbia river, and around that horn of confluence; on both sides of the Columbia/Salmon river meeting. Good time to give it a try, aye? Highway 141 off of Highway 14 ... and the sediment from upriver of the dam since 1913 that is still deposited there ....

Just ran across this video and not boring, and considering you cover such a broad spectrum of area it is an interesting overview. The one thing about Mt. Rainer is, that it almost sticks up like a sore thumb without a lot of geological rift close around it. And then right after you mentioned how rugged it is around the Monte Cristo. That's also much like the Mount Baker Mining District, a lot of rugged terrain in a relatively localized area where there is numerous old mines. And some barely accessible. Just suggesting that might be part of the reason not a lot of mines around Rainer, Not a lot of surrounding or peripheral upheaval?

I'm going to try my luck finding crevice gold in Ingles creek on Blewitt pass. Wish me luck and thanks for the video

Cannon mine in Wenatchee WA 1.25 million oz. Of gold. One of the biggest gold producers in the us.

Monte Cristo up by Arlington Wa way North of Seattle. Still a prospecting town there. Ghost town, but a popular trail.

I love the video. But wished you would have gone further west past Seattle

14:44 me: Looks slowly out window at Mt. Baker

Hello from Colorado brother. !!

I believe the lost Spaniards mine was located in a part of st Helens that no longer exists . I think his gold came out of the big wash above the lake it was naturally processing a F ton of material. Thanks again for this vid 👍 and I can say as a WA resident 2018 was a bad year to invest in a bigger dredge 🤣 but it looks cool hanging from the rafters in the shop 👍
