random hillside somewhere in America with Gary "two toes" , bedrock Bennett, topcat , yuba Gooding Jr , golden dabber and myself. #californiagoldrush #twotoes #minelab
@@bedrockbennett1827 Bennett it's not "if" it's WHEN! The old timers were good but 170 years of erosion, earthquakes, and new equipment makes it a 100% real expectation. It's definitely a head game but you've obviously got the tenacity to push through the uncertain days. Feed the driving feeling of "have to be out there" and keep it fat! 💯 Ameri-CAN!
I wouldn't have felt rite if he didn't! I'm still shocked that Bennett didn't find one or 3 though. Usually those two are good for being top for the day. Looking back now at this day, we were probably actually better off really getting lost and who knows we mite have had a better day gold wise.
Actually this trip was very trying on me ..... I mite take a break from norcal or atleast limit my exposure and limit my stress and aggravation. This trip was on a bad path rite from day one with 11 hours of lay over and missed flights. It never really got better "I had fun" but not like my normal rounds. Lots of side issues with folks and lots of wasted time and hikes. First time ever I actually want to go home. 🚶
@@GramCanyonSam hang in there Adam.....us east coasters are proud of you! It's a huge bite you took and you've consistently followed through🤝. 🎶Remember what the door mouse said.....feed your head🎶. Now go listen to White Rabbit and Free Fallin` and reset your brain🥴
That's a cool looking nugget Gary got. Glad to see most of you got some gold. I've been to the Yuba twice this week and got nothing but trash. Chalk it up to environmental clean up. Lol. Good video Adam.
Agreed it would be nice to have a day like 3 years ago , but I have tried several times over last year and man is it really almost out of reach at this point atleast for me. You on the other hand mite still hold a thread in that rope so I'd take a pull this summer. Next thing you know things are not the same. I'm headed back eventually this summer but I will not put myself through what I did this trip again. I'm going back to my very start ways of being in the state an out of stater. Who ever comes around does I'm not reaching out anymore
Something like that! Definitely on RU-vid in America anyways. But I can say I've met many many miners not on RU-vid or Facebook that make us ALL look like greenhorn
@@GramCanyonSam gotta admit, Gary is masterful in all methods of prospecting, so I am talking pound for pound. Some others may specialize a touch more in one specific method but that’s probably their go to specialized method and they’d be lost in some other methods. You have some good knowledge in a lot of gold recovery methods, won’t be long and you’ll be that wise old timer, lol, but don’t speed that up, slowly enjoy the ride😃. Thanks for keeping current with sharing your adventures with us, looking like you did better this trip out there than last time, well done.
@@timothycloney1453 agreed .... but all I'm saying is once you are around the motherlode a while. You meet the masses of miners that were born & raised In the best state to mine gold in the country. Kind of a level field at that point 👉 and I can reassure you the really really really good ones are not posting any pics or vids . They out way any creator is all I'm saying you were on the rite track as far as Gary being in the top 3 best RU-vid miners by far.
