California Gold and Platinum Nuggets - Where They Were Found (Locations Given)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 бер 2020
- The gold and platinum nuggets in this video were found in the hills of northern California during many prospecting adventures in many different areas. We take a look as some of these finds and where the gold was found, along with some background into each discovery. Gold is not easy to find by any means, it takes years of dedication and looking in the right places along with a little luck and much hard work to locate finds like these, but sometimes it's purely luck! Join me as I share some of my golden journeys into the mother lode region in search of gold and adventure!

My first time on your channel. Many years ago i got gold fever. I joined gpaa and went a few places. I became a family man and had very little time to look fo gold. Now im 64 and still dont look for gold! I find adventure and joy in seeing others find gold. Thank you for sharing your great times. I think you have understand what the real value of finding gold is. Its the icing on the cake. Best wishes.
I just got started in gold prospecting and I'm 70 years old but love this hobby
That's awesome!
It's a good day whenever I get a notification that you've turned out another new video, Jerry.
Everyone of them is a friendly joy to watch and listen to.
Thank you, and your gold gang.
Happy hunting and heavy pans!
Really appreciate it David, thank you!
Jerry, thank you! Appreciate all of your time and energy that you put into this.
My pleasure Michael!
Any flake that's 4.5 grams is a nugget in our book! Great video and just love the story for every piece. Keep up the great videos and we hope for record gold year for everyone. Much love from over here in lake county.
3 Nuggeteers
Every piece that weighs .045 is a nugget in my book!!!!!
Right on I appreciate it you guys rock!!
Where are you from in lake county?
@@DaKurlz we are from Eastern lake county near spring valley.
One of the best vids I have seen on this subject. Especially the locations. I have prospected this area for 12 years but quit 20 years ago as my life changed. Now I have time again to get back into it. Sounds like a metal detector is the way to go. I was doing some sniping but did not find anywhere near the size of gold you guys are. But my largest piece interestingly did come from an area out of Georgetown.
*Extremely light weight It also **Bestfor.Garden** land for finding any things very easily. Walked out my door using this for the first time and within two feet of my stone driveway found 3 items. The complaints i see from others looks to be people who dont read instructions. Very informative directions.*
Beautiful finds. Congratulations. Those look awesome. I just scrolled across your channel, liked and subscribed. Great video.
Jerry,
Nice to hear you recap your early prospecting career. Also, when you warn people it is HARD WORK!!! I think from what I have heard in a lot of these videos, many prospectors want to glamorize finding gold and they just cruise to their favorite spot, grab their pan and find gold. You are being a lot more REAL AND I ADMIRE YOU FOR IT. YOU’RE THE BEST. Much ❤️ Love and keep on pick in’.
I always enjoy your comments Phyllis they put a smile on my face!
The reason I subscribed to your channel is because you're not boastful, or show off with eccentricity that 'some' others tend to, and my preteen Molly and I love the friendly way you are, and your pals. We prospect in the US although we're based in the UK, mostly go bushcrafting close to gold bearing old river, so we go crevicing. Our finds have been amazing. ...When Molly found her fist gold nugget she was hooked. I'm mighty proud of her. Many thanks to you ~Wendi
What a very cool video! I like those summary type ones every in a while. It helps put together all the videos and story. Thanks for that.
Glad you like them, I appreciate the comment and feedback!
Great finds Jerry! Even better, the times and friends spent on the adventure. Loved the vid!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Mark!
You keep me updated with your plans
You got some amazing stuff there brother!!
I’m grateful to have been along for these awesome adventures and I look forward to many more !!
I can’t wait to be back in the California motherlode with one of my favorite prospectors and closest friend !!
Ahuihou and aloha jerry!!

My pleasure Ivan!
I've done some dredging on the Feather River near Seneca. I caught the fever!Thanks for sharing your experience.
That's great! I appreciate it Michael!
I really enjoyed your video. I get a feeling you’re right, it’s not about the gold, it’s about the memories that go with it.
Glad you enjoyed it Karl, yes its about the experience and people met along the way!

You are living the dream, great stuff Jerry.
Thanks Edward!
Great video jerry!
Nice haul! Mother loads of fun mate! 👍🏻
Yes it was!
One of your best videos yet!
Glad you think so!
I loved this video. Most refreshing to date. And you really ave the petfect tone in your voice for story telling. I'm in my late fiftys and I still metal detect and search for crystalls which is one of my many hobbies. Coming across a colonial coin or a silver Spanish coin still gives me a great thrill. My uncle and I were very close growing up and he would take me on all kinds of adventures. We prospected on his claim ( also in California), where I found many pickers and one nugget weighing over an ounce. I sold back when gold prices were at an all time high. The rest I have kept as a piece of my childhood. The largest nugget he had found on that property weighed in at 4 ounces! He never found anything that size again in that area and suspects it may have been a drop by past prospectors, as the area was heavily mined back in the early 1900s. It continued to produce flake and picker size gold during his lifetime which he panned into his mid 80's. We also found a small pocket of crystals on his land when I was 12. That search is something I still do two weeks every year. I travel to Arkansas, Carolina or New York crystal hunting for amethysts and Herkimere diamonds. My uncle once took me to Australia for my 14th birthday to stay with a friend of his who had over 600 acres of land in an area that was known for opals and gold. He and his family worked the different parts of land that produced some of the prettiest fire-opals I ever seen. That trip for 3 weeks was when I caught the bug for metal detecting too. Back then in the mid 70s, metal detectors were much different than today's. This friend had some of the highest quality equipment that was available at that time. My AT MAX is much easier to use. We detected for a week in the hill country of that land and looked for opals the other two weeks. We found both gold and opals on that trip and I still have the neckless my uncle had made out the quarter size piece of fire opal that I had found on that trip. I know and completely understand the thrill of the find you talk about. Theres nothing like it when the last of the sand is washed from your pan and the gold is revealed. We travelled all over the world seeking adventure and my uncle gave me some of best memories of my childhood. I continued to visit and pan with him in California until his death in 2008. I miss him still.
Sounds like you have lived quite the life, I hope to have some stories of big gold like you. I'm working towards it that's for sure, thank you for sharing!
Enjoyed it Jerry, stay safe and hope to see you next time.
Thanks 👍
This is awesome and gets me excited for when thing warm up here in idaho. Keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
Dude!!!!! Great video!
Right on Chris, much appreciated mate!!
Jerry, so many money shots I could hardly control myself from the excitement I know you felt!!!! Nothing like a great adventure in beautiful areas and the gold it a wonderful bonus!!! Keep the adventures coming... for me this is medicine, seeing i have the fever but dont live in a gold producing state! I only get to prospect on my off season and travel very far to do so!!! This keeps me going through the year and keeps me excited for my next adventure!!! One word explains this for me " awesome" keep the great content rolling
Thanks for the feedback and support Shawn!
You are making totaly different job than other gold hunters but excelent way how to show other people something about this magic hobby! I can hear many true thoughts in your telling... Thanks from Czech republic! Wish you and your friends all the best. Please keep on this way. John

You are so kind, yes I've been blessed to meet such great people for sure!
Good video with great gold and calming voice and like always epic scenery
Thanks Kenny, glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoy all your adventures but need to include ladies so reach out on the world wide web or just find relatives to take panning with the guys. Maybe claim unemployment since covid 19 is causing problems and get enough supplies and spend next 8 months out on a remote river
Large Leaf. Beautiful piece.
Very nice
Awesome Video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a good video. I love prospecting Northern California!
Thanks Mark 👍
Liked your videos and the information you shared.
That stuff is so beautiful
Awesome stuff Jerry!
Glad you enjoyed it
Dang Jerry, awesome video. Don't know how I missed this one. Look forward to seeing you again. 🇺🇸👍😎⛏
Thanks for the video nice finds for doing something that is destressing.
Great video Jerry keep up the good work brother and stay safe👊🏻🤠👍🏻
Thanks you to, heavy pans mate!
This video was well done and very inspiring for newbies
Thank you very much!
By golly I really did enjoy it !!
What a pile of memories.... ✅✅
Dang straight Jason, so many good times that's for sure!
Pretty excited hearing the good amount of gold on the south fork.
Excellent video. Your a really good story teller, I really enjoyed this.
Thank you very much Dan!
That was really cool 😎! I like that we could put a general location to the type of gold found. I have hiked most all of those locations as a kid, just for swimming, camping, and backpacking. I used to locate mining dumps and carry out old bottles and artifacts. Some of it is pretty rough country. Thanks for the fun videos and your always positive attitude. It's a pleasure to watch and it's funny because you make people feel that they have known you forever. Gold luck this year and as always, stay safe!
Bud Infield I wish I could have grown up hiking those trail and fishing bottles at old mine dumps!! Too cool
Bud, thanks for the kind words and the awesome comment, much luv brother!
I love the way you do you videos. Wishing you much success I. The future. Thanks for all the info and content to binge on while this whole world is upside down right now. 😊
I really appreciate the support, thank you!
I appreciate you sharing some spots could really help out some guys that don’t know where to go!
No problem glad to help!
Hello Jerry, 1st time commenting. About the first place you shown; Now i know why there's no gold left there....because you were there! Lol, enjoy watching your vids and really like this one. I'm in Sacramento and go to the hills often (weekends) hope to catch you guys one day up there.
Love the thrill of the hunt!
Yes indeed that's the best part!
Fun videos -In the prospecting I've done in California, including panning, sluicing and even dredging with a 6" dredge (when it was legal), I've gotten many frustrating reality checks that the earth gives up the gold grudgingly- especially placer gold! There's a reason it's so valuable - it's rare!
God I cant wait to get back out to the hills! Keeping me inspired Jerr, thank you!
On a side note...when are you doin another group outing w/ patreon members? Or guided tour!!? Headin that way in a few weeks...you can msg me at instagram @1incognitoguido
Good job buddy great video
Thanks bro, hope all is well with you and the family, AMERICA 3%!

Welcome aboard, thanks for the support!
Great video and gold. Hope you have just as much luck in 2020
Thanks, you too!
I live in Sacramento California was just up in grass valley I see close to your first find was always super interested about the history of the gold around here would love to turn it into a hobby someday myself great video
Love this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video Jerry. I hope one day to get out there for a little prospecting vacation. Being from Maine, I would be spoiled with the gold out there. There's gold here but extremely sparse. You get more in a average test pan than most here get in a wknd of hard labor. I enjoy your videos and hope you keep making them.
Very awesome. Looks like a fun place to go exploring with nature away from the everyday rat race Plus gold. 🕳🧞♂️
