Here's a video I shot showing the area I worked on a last minute gold prospecting trip to Wanlockhead, Scotland October 2015. We worked a couple of different spots shown in the video for the first couple of days until my mate realised there was a large crevice opening up behind a massive boulder sat in the middle of the waterway. Once this crevice was discovered, this was the sole area we then prospecting for the following 2 days of the trip, opening up the crevice beneath the boulder to quite a depth. The crevice was regularly producing fine gold out of it which was showing in the sluice flare riffles and because we could see we were on the gold, we didn't stop to pan any material as we could see it in the sluices. I have a couple more videos to upload from this trip showing underwater shots of the crevice etc so if you lied the video, please feel free to comment and subscribe as I release videos as frequently as I can, thanks.

Wanlockhead is a village in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland nestling in the Lowther Hills one mile south of Leadhills at the head of the Mennock Pass, which forms part of the Southern Uplands. It is Britain's highest village at 1531 ft and can be accessed via the B797, from both the A76 and the M74.
The village was called Winlocke until 1566, from the Gaelic Cuingealach, meaning narrowness, or narrow place.
Wanlockhead owes its existence to the lead and other mineral deposits in the surrounding hills. These deposits were first exploited by the Romans, and from the 13th century they began to be worked again in the summer. The village was founded permanently in 1680 when the Duke of Buccleuch built a lead smelting plant and workers' cottages.
Lead, zinc, copper and silver were mined nearby, as well as some of the world's purest gold at 22.8 carats, which was used to make the Scottish Crown. Wanlockhead became known as "God's treasure house" from the richness of its mineral resources.

Anyway You Like It
I gave you less and left you poor
You should never give more than you can afford
I feel so bad I had to go
But I came back to pay what I owe
Any way you like it
Any way you choose
Any day you just have to say
Anytime you do
It's no lie, it's my mistake
I make no secret - I'm to blame
I feel so low for what I did
And I came back to pay for everything
Any way you like it
