Gary, I gotta say that you definitely are the best RU-vid gold prospecting teacher, period, and I have put more of your shared wisdom to use than all the other resources combined. Watching this video reminds me that you’ve already made a lot of what you shared a normal part of my scouting routine and it definitely has all strengthened my overall prospecting game. Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom and adventures with all of us these past couple/few years and I truly hope your health and intestinal fortitude to defy aging, will get us all another 30 years with you shooting videos out in the field!

@FlourgoldWizards 3 года назад

Agreed.

@timothycloney1453 3 года назад

Flour gold Wizards, I just discovered your videos a few months ago and definitely enjoy watching you chase that fine gold in Wisconsin. I have a friend in Wisconsin and you talk just like him or he does like you, you’re older😁. I enjoy so many RU-vid gold personalities but you gotta admit, Gary covers all the grounds and does it in a way like he’s one of your uncles trying to have you enjoy the adventure without being too “teachy” but at the same time giving you too much info to retain all at once, lol, so you gotta keep hanging with him. Please know that I admire your notion of feeding that can all this time for one lucky person after 7000👍👍

Its so cute to watch from places like Norway and comparing your "small tiny pieces" to my dust particles that i carefully pan out and care to transfer into my glass. I am very long way away from enough for a ring, but one day I will give it to my wife.

@ericjensen3662 3 года назад

Hey Gary. I grew up in Paradise. Now I live in Utah. There isn't any gold in Utah. So I make a trip to the Klamath every year for a week. 5 of us are leaving tomorrow morning. Can't wait to get there and dip my pan in it. I love your videos. Always learn something new. Keep up the good work.

There aren’t many places around Wisconsin with fabulous looking bedrock like that but its nice to have your insight in case something comes along. Jeff had it made in that water! You’re right about the water too, its very easy to work right through a needed water break!! Stay safe Gary 👍🏻✌️

@48thstateprospecting 3 года назад

Can’t complain about that gold👍🏻 and you’ll get used to that detector soon enough the sound it makes for gold is either high to low tone or low to high tone with iron being the opposite (I can’t remember which is which you can test it at home) but it helps with identifying the rubbish thx for sharing see you on the next one 👊🏻

@billw26 3 года назад

@josephnewman9175 3 года назад

Good finds Gary! Glad your new detector is working for you! Any time I go home with 2 grams or more is a good day! Now let's see how that thing works when you spend the whole day in the river! Knowing your work, combined with good luck which we all need along with skill you'll probably do very well! Good luck man! Joe gold

Hi Gary, Try the Grayl Geopress water filtration system. You can use it to drink the water from the river as it will filter out quite a bit. I really like mine and it has been working well. I enjoy watching your videos and learning a lot.

@williampankratz600 3 года назад

Great video with plenty of good sense and logical information, I am in Northern Nevada not far away fron Nor Cal and plenty of gold also, but the issue I have is there is "NO WATER" to pan the gold with. is there an effective way to get fine dust gold out of sand without water ? , If you know a way please do a video on the subject because dry panning is painfully ineffective not to mention labor intensive compared to wet panning. Thanks again

Hello from Northern Alberta. Love your stuff here on youtube. Thany ou.Still collecting info and tools. Haven't been out yet.
