Andy and Barbara head up high in the hills above Briceburg in the California Southern Motherlode to check out a new spot to prospect for gold. With no water but tons of exposed bedrock it seemed like a great day for some metal detecting... Well, that didn't quite go as planned so we gathered up some sample material and too it to the Merced River to process and beat the skunk with some shiny gol...

If you hate headsets as much as I do for metal detecting here is another idea for you to consider. I got this idea from @MinersDenAustralia to use the Avantree Tarus. it is cool, comfy, and plenty loud for the job. I am not sponsored for any of this, just sharing resources and information with the mining community. The parts list for what I used: 3.5mm Stereo to ¼ Stereo adapter: www.amazon.com...

It rained all weekend and the water was too high to get to any good places to dig... we did try but no gold. Monday the sun came out and we decided to go scout out some new (to us) places we have access to. We did some metal detecting in the road and got LOTS of iron and lead and.... watch and see!
More on Hydraulic Mining - RDP #10

This is a quick follow up to Episode 9 where we were prospecting on old Hydraulic Mining remnants in the Southern Motherlode of California. I thought it would be good to add some additional information about what Hydraulic Mining is and why they were doing it in this place. Hydraulic Mining came to an abrupt end in California due to a landmark Federal Court Decision decision in January 1884, in...

muchas gracias por su video ....🙏
Better make sure you guys are members of the claim there.
😊💖
I appreciate your hard work! 👏
Your energy is contagious! 🌟
↕️ To Go
🎉😊💖
I am thinking that a pin pointer would have helped to locate the target. Instead of having to use the detector once you find the target. Smaller and lighter.
@mikeray4902 I can not argue with that... and the pinpointer was on the pack. DOH!
Very informational!
Good you got out and got some Gold !!!
Thanks Jeff. We are looking forward to getting back on the Yuba in a few weeks to enjoy her generosity.
@@RubberDuckyProspecting very nice let me what days
@Smithsgold - We will be up in Downieville for a week Jeff. Out playing starting Monday Sept 16 and driving back to Tracy on the Friday the 20th.
@@RubberDuckyProspecting I’ll keep an eye out for you guys !!!! Good luck 🍀
Nice work you two! I glad to see you got a new video up. I hope everything is going great. Good gold hunting! Take care.
Life is good! We would love to get out more for sure but responsibilities just get in the way. We will get out somewhere in a couple weeks and then be back out on the North Yuba for a week in just a few weeks so that should be a hoot.
Thank you very much for sharing the videos.I appreciate them very much. My granddaughter and I watch everyone and we learned so much.Thank you and God bless.
Great job all around fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Thank GS... we appreciate you! Maybe someday we will get out your way and you can take us to your secret spot ;)
I was hoping for a steel stagecoach strongbox!
Aren't we all... or a spanish treasure cache! But at this point I will settle for a few specks here and there while we keep on searching and enjoying the adventures that come with it!
Gold !!!!!!!
Woohoo! Get that shiny!!💜⛏️

Thanks Jeff and thank you for the information on public area boundaries and other places we talked about Sunday. That last 3 hours on the river were pretty productive. Barbara and I are looking forward to getting back up that way again in the next couple months.

Always good to see you Julie! Hope you found some gold too!
Nice job guys. What a fun nugget hunt this year.
A good time indeed @Dirtypawsgoldadventures. See ya next year.
Check that out... we got gold you can actually see on camera! 🤣🤣🤣 The Yuba Rocks!!!!
Just watched you video found out about it at the nugget hunt you two look like you work very hard to get gold it was nice to watch your video thank you for showing
Hope you had a great time at the Nugget hunt! Yeah, sometimes we do..... and sometimes we end up with nice shiny stuff in our pans and other times not so much, but it is always fun. The Yuba is a touch more generous than the areas we normally get to play in.
I went back and rewatched some of your past content. Great videos! Nice gold! Good gold hunting! Take care.
Good job working the detector and getting that lead! 💪😉
It was a good first learning outing with the new SDC2400 detector. While we did not get gold, I learned a lot for next time.
