    I always hate to see your videos end, you have brought so much joy to the sport of prospecting to me, I’m on oxygen 24-7 and can’t go as often as I would like, but watching your videos brings the excitement and knowledge to me and when I do go I do find gold every time, no nuggets yet, but flood gold every time thanks to the knowledge you provide in your videos. Always thank you , a loyal subscriber .

      Yes another loyal subscriber, with fiscal limitations . Gary gives me hopes and inspiration . I just bought a metal detector for this summer . Sadly no gold in Western N.Y. to prospects other wise . Thank You Gary for the video !

      George Sutton hi George no gold in utah to speak of but I have Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Nevada, I have friends in Idaho, so when I get up that way to visit him I take advantage and he takes out to some of his spots.
      You mentioned metal detecting now I get to do a lot more of that because there’s so many places to go here and so much research to get involved in. I have two older machines that I use and would never get rid of one is a whites goldmaster 2 and the other is a whites eagle spectrum the goldmaster for prospecting and spectrum for everything else.thanks for the reply

You have not only inspired me to push my limits and knowledge, I have found more gold by implementing your advice. Also I love your crevice tool and put the link on my video's. Keep it up because us who are newer to this use your knowledge to grow so we thank you!

    16:09 The noticeable thing in this shot is a large deep gold-coloured rock sitting at the lower right of the picture. I wonder if one day someone might present a video proudly showing their gold flakes in a pan whilst behind them sits a 110kg nugget unseen in the river... I also love the mini highbanker. I want one of those...

    The snow pack is so deep and at a low elevation that I was thinking I would have to wait until June to go prospecting! Thanks for showing that there's a way to find gold even in high water. Also, thanks for reminding every video about the bedrock and the gravel. I am appreciative that you talk about theory first like you do. How else would an effort be successful to find the chunky gold if there wasn't some knowledge behind the decision? Another very informative video! Thank you Gary!

It is winter here also but we have so much snow it will probably be June before it all melts. I am jealous!
