Gold Prospecting, Big Backpacking Trips, Metal Detecting with the Minelab Equinox 800, Fly Fishing and More!
I’m a full-time outdoor athlete and educator, based mostly in Colorado and the West. I offer Guided Gold Prospecting Trips in Colorado. Plus backpacking and bushcraft skills seminars and guided trips.
Have decided to do the loop in 26 as my first long hike. Are there any spas in hiking distance that might allow parking for a great start stop point? I'm sure I'll need it.
I went to Cache Creek the last three years in a row and camped out and spent weeks digging in several different places ,..and the most I ever saw there was little pickers maybe the size of a match head ,..and I only seen two or three during all that time and I never found any pickers myself.. Making me believe that pickers are very, very, VERY rare at Cache Creek...I sliced many buckets.. and only got flour gold. And in all the time I was there I saw only three other people find pickers...tiny pickers. I sure would have been lucky to found that spot.....
Excellent video. The learning curve is critical in detecting & many people (myself) get frustrated with all the noise & false targets. Most helpful 800 vid I've seen. Thank you!
I live in Alaska. We only get about 3 months without snow and 24 hrs of sun. Unless I plan to prospect in the snow in the dark? Lots of different terrain and creeks, and rocky beaches. Looking for mainly gold, and also native artifacts. So with money aside. What do you recommend for an all-around detector with a coil? 6 in sounds nice! How do you like the DD coils? Would like some depth as well. Lots of mountain rock here? Your advice will be honored!. I found a 7.97-gram nug just by chance. Got the fever now. I'm only worried about a bear sneaking up on me at the creek or somewhere.🤠
Hey brother, I love all your videos. FUN 🌱And I like how you take time to pan for gold and fish when most others (hiking RU-vid videos)are always in a hurry. I did the CT couple years ago and I'm getting ready to do the loop this year. Btw Did you ever finish this loop? If so are you going to finish your video series ?? Great job being yourself man ‼️
