How to spot the best places to find gold on the river. 

What a beautiful spot, glad you were able to go out with good friends and find some gold! Thanks for taking us along Gary. Appreciate it.

Another terrific video Gary. Still teaching the young-uns how a master gets it done! Thanks, Al

Beautiful canyon, that hike looked like fun!! Thanks for the tips and how you read the river!! A sniping trip is coming ,I can feel it!! Good job Mr. Gary,glad your ankle is feeling better!! Thank you for bringing us along!!

Fun day Gary, hike was easy 😂and I think we need a return trip tomorrow lol. Great job explaining the river flow and picking great spots to detect 🇺🇸

Love that your 'picker' is most folks 'nugget'.

Thanks for another informative video, Two Toes...one day I'll find myself an old hunk of gold around here too, in northwest Alabama.

Wow, you had a great day. Todd's nugget looks like some old gold. We got snow on the ground here in Reno. 🇺🇲👍😎⛏️

I always feel smarter after your videos 🍻. You proved you're the metal detector and that thing you swing is just a pinpointer!

New to your channel hearing your the best to learn from in gold mining in rivers and bedrock . Looking forward to learning from old riverways and news ones . Watching you from Sheffield in south Yorkshire England ❤️🇬🇧👍🏻

Great video Gary!!! Good to see Todd exercising his 2ND A!!!

So, I have something you may, or may not be interested in. It's a book published in 1961 called The lost Mines of Nye County. A lot of the landmarks are gone. But you're the closest prospector to here that might get some use out of it. I got it in an auction.

Great video enjoyed good to see your all healthy and a nice amount of yellow at the end of the day cheers Glenno

Really awesome to watch your episodes Gary. Something how many areas have been searched before.

Just amazing fam. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream fam. Gold Squad Out!!!

Thanks. Man those hikes are gonna keep you young if they don’t kill ya😅 appreciate you sharing your knowledge. You are definitely the GOAT ( greatest of all time!)

Thanks for all your great tips Gary, I really liked your intro for this episode it was nicely done!

Looks like you found your new spot really cool. I hope you find a lot of gold.

looks like a ideal place to go back too afew more times

Another great vid. Nice nuggets as well!🇺🇸👍🏾

A very nice take, I hope you get back in there to snipe before the rains set in! It has been raining here 8 hours north of you and the rivers are UP!

THATS not too shabby and such a nice day. Good share Gary. Thank you ❤🌹

Great Job. I'm still working on finding my first picker with the detector. Wish us all luck.

Great day great job again Gary

Another winner Gary! Nice work. Greetings from South Fork of The American.

Pretty evidently, your ankle healed up well enough. Glad to see that. And it looks like you had a great gold day, too. Kudos. Thanks, Gary, for being such a good teacher to all of us. 'You still ridin' that knucklehead?

Love the guitar and music in the beginning! I have seen this spot in a few other California prospectors video

Another great episode with a wealth of great information. What you call fines I call nuggets in my area lol nice pieces and decent sizes for fines. 4.25 grams is a great result definitely looking forward to a sniping video if you make it back. Thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼p.s. was waiting to hear your regular intro music you tricked us lol

Hi Two Toes👋 Been a while, thought I would come say hi and brush up on some education💯 Beautiful out for you guys that day, I loved that part of the river👍 One thing I'm learning for sure is to follow the bedrock and dig down in all the cracks and pan it out! Thank you😊 And I have to say the pieces you found and called pickers sure looked like chunky nuggets to me🌟😃 Have a good one Gary🤙 Heavy Pans

Some people are panning gold in city sewers until they find the very spot where a Jewellery shop is located which is right above the sewer.

This is amazing and helpful information. Thank you

You guys have these big beautiful bolder rivers. In ohio we are dredging creeks to find fly poop. One day I'll make a trip up north or west and go after the good stuff!

That hill side looked good. You killed it and dug a lot of lead. Great video.

Man you Todd and Bennet aren't scared of a steep hill, thats for sure! SOme nice chunky pieces too

Well done guys that was some climb

Great video Gary those sierras are a beautiful place I lived in Carson City Nevada sierra few years ago

Very nice work you should use a small vacuum with good suction IT might help you out. So much work but I guess it's panning out for you! Lol good stuff!

that "nice little picker" was visible at 3:22

I thought I was hot stuff heading out at 5:30... Great job on the intro! Those who know how much work that is appreciates it! Also looks like you are running a new setup for filming? Or just different style?

Alway helpful Gary and love the gold you find. All that bedrock can make a guy salivate and I was doing a drooling Homer Simpson wishing I was working there. Take care out there and be safe.

Take me with you! I want to learn from the master. 🙏🏻

Thanks for the interesting information!

Love the Content Ol Timer ⌛⌛⌛....Have you ever tried any places In NC...or Virginia??

Great video Gary, very helpful for me understanding prime lies for the Gold! That bed rock looked rugged and beautiful! Hope you have a Blessed Thanksgiving! Dan Brent

Thanks Gary. Great adventure.

Having fun thanks for the video and your time.

Question for you. Do you ever dig out cracks in the bedrock even if you don't get a good signal with your detector? Or do you assume the crack is empty or gravels too deep to dig out and move on? Thanks Gary, great video and clean up.

Awesome Day!!!

ကျေးဇူးပါဗျာ..။။

Great spot. More gold there for sure. Great adventure 😊👍

the area looked to be a good spot to scuba/snorkel crevice

Wondering where you got your crevicing tool? Good looking tool. Thanks for the video! 🤠⛏️

Great content thx! I have the same shirt lol. From Maggie valley wheels TT visit in May. Keep up the good work!

your killing it on lead, think of all the fishing weights you can make (great day for gold also) lol

At 1:35 I thought you found a Browning M1919 but it was only your metal detector. I still need coffee.

there is alot of bed rock in the river in the philippines .. is there a gold same as you found ?

Hey Gary, I was curious if you've ever found any platinum nuggets in your adventures. If I recall correctly, that might be more likely up in the Klamath Mountains? Oh, how about diamonds? There are in fact some diamonds in your parts. The geologists aren't exactly sure how the got there because they've only ever been found in ancient channel conglomerates and modern river gravels, never in their host rock. They pretty definitely do not come from kimberlite or lamproite pipes, as in your normal commercial hard-rock diamond mines. One idea is that they're just eroding here and there out of the chunks of upper-mantle that got shoved up onto the continental margin. Probably worth taking a second look if you find any little bits of quartz in your pans, because it might not be quarts

Good morning

what river is this? not asking for the exact spot, just curious to where in cali. hoping to prospect in cali some day and get away from all this fine flour gold in oregon

I know of some real nice rivers near Goldboro, NS, Canada.

You helped me a lot. Thank you Sir.

Very first pan you found more gold than I have all summer. I gold pan in Maine (mostly coose canyon) and I think the touristry here has pretty much run this river dry. I need a new location. Im not finding hardly any gold 😫

For crying out loud Gary save the point on that Marian Crevicing tool. Use your Huntley spoon for doing all that scraping and save the Marion Crevicing tool’s point for the real tight packed places where it is needed. That looks like some serious hiking was involved

Lmao😂 top cats shirt is legendary 🤠, I feel that shirt best describes me at times

4.25 grams a good day, Gary my friend, and with a couple of great guys too. And man you sure got the lead out also... Thanks, brother! #LBPA4Life

Always fun going to school with gary

Thanks for the videos. Throw a few alcohol wipe pads in your pack. If you get into poison oak, wipe down your exposed skin, and you'll never catch it.

ever look for rhodium boss ??? few mines in california. expensive stuff. have a good day.

Great video Two Toes

Hi Mr. Gary, I like all your videos but imho this one is even better than usual!! Very, very informative for any newbies, I also recall watching several other such very educational examples from earlier on. I'm curious if one would be somewhat accurate in describing your "cherry picking" techniques of your searching, as "Placer High Grading"?😉😉 Another great video, more great finds!, Keep up what you do sir, and thank you.

Always love your videos, looks like a heck of a hike! Beautiful river

He makes it look Easy

great video guys ! very helpfull

What a beautiful area.

What a beautiful place

Brother come to my country Malawi you will have a lot of this

Thank you sir for sharing. How do you prepare/ dialysis your detector for gold ?

I cant figure out how to read the rivers in my area, everyone says inside bends but i find my Gold on straightaways.. wish I could cut a few corners and save a few years by stepping up my knowledge

Gary great video sir. Nice shirt too!

Nice, thanks. Interesting ! 🙂😎👍

If you are getting attacked by mosquitos get some fabric sheets! One under your hat or shirt pocket!

Hope you’re getting some good sniping in with the water level so low, Gary!! Cheers and may your pans always contain more than 2g! 😉😁 🖖😎👍

nice spot , hope to get down there with you guys soon. we had talked about a inflatable canoe to get past that spot.

Sana matutunan din namin maghanap

get that morning 'lifer juice' (coffee) in!

I love nature, but I'm not those big old rocks over, water snakes😮

Thanks Gary!

Very Nice Gary!! Thx for Sharing!! JJ

Look at you doing a fancy intro edit,👍

Hi sir watching from Philippines I love find gold but I have no idea about find gold 😢

Thanks for sharing!

Nice 👍 👍👍

If you had a drone that was also a metal detector you could cover a lot of ground and never leave a comfy chair. Instead of the beep it'll be 3d virtual reality goggles that look into the ground in real time. Then it tags strikes with GPS. Now you just need to dig and pan. Many mines were abandoned and considered paid out but gold was fifty bucks an ounce or less back then. They had no metal detectors or cars,food was scarce and there were bandits and hostile locals. Look at the suffering in the Yukon. This is a cakewalk. I'd also figure out a recirculating sluice box. Then you don't pollute the water and can also use it in places without water. Solar cells, battery,pond pump ,the sluice box and two tanks of water should do it. I wonder if a centrifuge device could spin the dense gold out of sand and gravel.

3:30 am! You don’t mess around man

Appreciate u man! U dont know anny mining operations hiring in new england do you

Very first time i used sluice box.i went to what i thought was perfect area and ran some stuff and in bottom of pan was these silver chunks that would stick together then break apart as again when i shopk pan.did that 3 times with same effect......cont

nice video sir ,

Please can u help me with a gold detector in Ghana please

Love your channel. I notice you always ask yourself "Why only one?" I've been curious also. I started critiquing your videos when you are grabbing a hand full of gravel and waving under your detector. Almost every time, when you wave and hear a signal, you will toss the balance of gravel left in your other hand. Not every time but most of the time. Maybe a contributor to the "Why only one?" conspiracy. Keep up the good work. You got me panning and now I'm shopping for a detector. Thanks for helping me spend my money. LOL

Enjoyed the video nice gold

Cool vid prob best yet 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
