Hiking New Mexico – Caballo Mountains – Gold Mining with Mike Pung

This video describes the hike we took on 3-8-2017 in the Caballo Mountains of southern New Mexico where we ran across several guys mining for gold. We stopped to check things out and saw Mike Pung who is the inventor of the Gold Cube and the Banjo Pan amongst other things. We learned a lot in a short amount of time about finding gold.

    I’m not an expert on this area but I know there are some claims that we saw staked out and posted as to keep people from looking for gold there. So the answer to your question is no. There are however many large areas that are open for searching for gold. Most of what we saw were guys running drywashers and having some success. You should be able to get more information locally, maybe start at the state park office.

    The guy in the blue shirt alex.
    He is a claim jumper with his lying ass.Mike told him about a spot in Denver which had next to nothing in gold and on the video he was making out there he tried telling the camera that we already found 13grams when we didn’t even have one 13th of a hundreth of a gram.
    If you ever see him in the mountains dont show him what you are getting cuz even on your own claim the next time you go to your spot it will be cleaned out.the only thing he will leave you is his trash and beer bottles in the holes that he never covers up.REAL TALK!!!

    Can I pan anywhere in the Caballos mountain area without calling for permissions? I’ve never panned before and want to try it out, but I don’t want to get arrested for trespassing or similar.

    The tanker trailer is for cattle, not mining. I know the area well and there are a number of cattle leases.
