    I live in Florida, and the thing I miss the most, was my special times on the river treasure hunting. Metal detecting the beach doesn't come close to the real thing!

    Video star ends a break, then takes a lunch break, daydreaming about a picnic,ends with 3 very nice pans and a great day in a bad spot. Who could ask for more.i saw how you muckled onto that rock with your left hand,that looked like it's almost ready for the hard clutch. Super video and thanks for taking us along.

    Hi Gary. I love your informative & entertaining videos. For the past 4 years I've been living in southern NV to be closer to my aging parents. I used to live near Tuolumne City, & watching your videos lets me see "my" beautiful Mother Lode countryside! & watching you prospecting inspires me to look forward to a future time when I'll return to the Sierra foothills. Thanks always for the adventure! Hug yourself for me,,,

    • @TwoToes

  • @mountainace6057

    Two Toes,
    Watch your videos and enjoy them, but I took this one a little bit too literally.
    At about 6:13, when you were talking about big boulders...
    I thought that it sounded like it would be a good way to complement my girlfriend.
    So, I told her that she catches my eye just like those denser, heavier, and shinier boulders that are in the middle of a fast moving creek; not like those lighter boulders on the bank of a creek.
    Nice and rounded, not sharp, porous, or crumbling.
    After a dirty look and fearing of going to sleep, I tried to explain.
    Luckily, she likes to prospect too, and after showing her your video she didn't leave me...
    I had to tell her I'd move boulders for her.
    She finally understood. :)
    And , I slept without worry.
