You have the same frozen conditions we experienced two months ago. Sunny today, but low of 10. It might get up to 34 this afternoon. Thanks for braving the cold and ice to show us another one of your prospecting adventures Gary.
He was marking his boundary on the other side of the creek. One thing that you have to remember about clay is that it's a gold thief, you have to break up the clay really well and often times run the material twice, that has been my experience here in Oregon.
As long as you make your presence known little black bears won't bother you, just watch for out cubs and make sure your not between momma and the cub and you'll be just fine .... 😊
I am afraid that i would have a hard time concentrating on panning with a Bear hanging that close around me , i don't blame you Gary for giving him some space lol , and that creek looks very promising , a good one to return too when the conditions are right i'd say , thanks for being able to share the adventure , because we wouldn't have been able to see it if that Bear had you for lunch , stay safe please ,cheers .
Thank you Gary for the details you include in your observations.
You give experienced insight to every detail. Please NEVER stop doing that.
Your explanations of old ancient river beds, benches, gullies and creeks...This is FANTASTIC information..SO Informative!!!!
I Appreciate I and can't help but think that others do too.
Your THE Best!!!!
I'd pay to go on a hike with you just to watch and learn how you develop the systems that once ran through there...
Thanks again, man!!!
Gary thanks for the video! Your channel is my best channel to watch! It's not easy what you do and I thank you for your videos.
Just watched your safety video and here this one has a bear. You stayed around a lot longer than I would have!
That Drone footage was pretty cool! Thanks for another great video!
When you get 1000 lbs of .22 shell casings, take them to the scrap buyer. You should be getting pretty close by now! LOL
Apparently Goat wasn't on the bears menu! 😉 I also enjoyed your detecting the roads. I'm always curious as to what you'll find next. Hope you find gold on a road this year! 🇺🇸⛏⚒
👊🇺🇸👍
Gary, I would carry something that makes noise for bear scare. Plenty things to choose from. You eat lunch, don't become lunch.
looks real frosty out there my friend... nice gravel bar in the background....for such a small sample that is looking great...ever use a Super Sluice Gold Pan ? Nice Chunky Gold for the second pan.....Don't like dealing with Bears so I would have done the same.......ooooohwee 17 degrees now that will wake ya up in the morning....love the drone shots......yep there is Gold found in roads ..seen it first hand....your looking like a giant popsicle out there...stay warm my friend.
😁👍🇺🇸👊
And yeah your gonna get wet and freeze your hands 😊
i think your "full stop" button may be stuck on.
hellooo jeff, i dont know if i have seen you up in the snow yet , i have watched alot of your video and i am a patron. so lets see you up in the snow before it all melts.hehehe
SO LETS GO !!!!
Gary that bear wanted your gold, thank goodness you didn't find a 10oz er or he would have pounced!! Love your teaching!
Love your videos. Get some diving gloves for the water. My hands even freeze in the summer so I use them all the time
Thanks Gary, you are one tough cookie. i would pick you on my team any day of the week.
Thanks for sharing another adventurous day trip. The look on your face when you saw the bear was instinctual and definitely not planned. Does that make you think about carrying a firearm? I'm amazed at how much junk accumulates even in those remote places.
Another great video Gary. I guess Yoji Bear thought your gold pan might be a dinner plate and wanted to see what you had.
My vote for the most exciting thing you found today would be the bear. Didn't even mind that it was off camera. Seeing your eyes was enough. You handled that pretty low-key, even so.
Hey Gary. It's Old Rocker.... I got a story on detecting haul roads in Alaska. A friend of mine found over 6 oz just detecting the road between Fairbanks and Circle. He got busted a few times but for 6 oz he said it was worth it... It's a state road so it was a no no.... The 70 mile pit produced a lot of gold. They first started putting all that the over burden from the pit on the road and later after the pit was not used it produced a LOT of gold. One story was the two guys that got in there first found over a million bucks in the first summer. Anyway, keep detecting the old roads that the old mines used because MOST of the time they did not want to cover the area they were mining in so they dumped most of their early tailings on the roads they used to get in and out... jus sayin...
I like the sound of that!
That drone footage is awesome, must help a lot locating places to go, id like one for my fly fishing adventures
Great video Gary and beautiful scenery that was a nice little picker for a small creek. We are going into the negative numbers over night the next few days I am not looking forward to that. Heavy pans for 2019 and keep ahead of Jeff.
Wow almost 30000 subscribers, congrats. Thank you for your wonderful vids. Take care
Good morning for a new video !!!
If anyone else said they were going to stay at it until they found a piece of gold in a road I'd laugh. When you say it I'm just going to wait to see how big the piece of gold is...thanks for the video Gary.
Looking forward to see you metal detecting that area !!! That bear was probably hungry and looking to change your name to one toe ...LoL
😊 so glad you didn't get beared tough enough! 👍🏻👏🏻
What a great start to 2019 Gary. Bear Gold in the new creek. Cannot wait to see you back there. Might want to take a bear deterrent next time cause he probably lives there permanent now.........fresh 2toes scent everywhere :)
Gold in the road!!! hahahaha thats awesome if you can find it!
Nice video Gary ! Got love the wild life ! Thanks for sharing ⚒😊⚒
Looks like a great spot mate
Except for bears lol
We only have drop bears lol
They eat the gum leaves get drunk and fall out of the trees lol
Only snakes and spiders here and crocks lol
It’s blistering hot over here down under
So laughing when u say it’s freezing lol
And Pauly would be proud of you too lol
Can’t wait till you get back in there to see how good it really is
Great tour mate thanks from Oz
Crouch
Colder than a meat locker! Thanks for video
Liked the upload! Enjoying the variation in your videos. Makes it interesting to watch. Looking foreward to the road gold searching!
Priceless to see you spotting a bear. Everyone else travelling with me on hikes spot bears in bear terrain, just not me.. lol..
I think that bear wanted to see what good ole Gary Two Toes had in the pan! Mondays are much better with your videos! Heavy pans in 2019! Oh and go 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 GOLD 👊👊👊
great video!!! Gary your videos get better and better, keep up the great work!!
Got to get you a sidearm way up there buddy. That bear could be trouble. Nice gold and appreciate you freezing to make it! Lol love that you stopped for that quartz corner! Never know!
Hi Gary I have been wanting to see what I could find on some of the old taillings piles and creeks in my area.
I enjoy your channel, am looking forward to more on this new creek. as a greenhorn prospector I cant tell you how much I have learned from you. I plan to put the knowledge to work in the Leadville CO area this summer.
Might wanna take along a gun and/or a buddy the next time you head off in to bear territory like that - Would be interesting to see what you all find in the road gravel - Most enjoyable vids - Thanks for sharing...
Would have loved to see the bear, but your furtive glances spoke volumes. I too have no doubt that you will be scratching road gold off your list very soon.
Thanks as always.
Great video it is definitely hard to get out in this cold weather can't wait till it worms up
What is that like a six month wait?
Gary, I enjoyed the video. I do hope you get back there and find some old yellar! Better take a gun next time in case MR. Bear sizes you up for some chewing! take care.. Jack
Well I watched the video this morning now I am leaving a comment at 7pm. Darn near the next day ; D Thanks for the upload Gary, stay warm!
This is what i call a perfect trip (but a bit cold). Great one
I was up off 50 this weekend same story, frozen everywhere with no snow on the ground
Good finds!
2ft of snow at my house just north of Reno. Its hell having gold fever when your snow bound. Thanks again Gary.
My hands hurt just watching you, haha! Better get some diving gloves? It will be a great place to come back to when it's hot and you want to work in the shade, I guess.
Was -38F lastnight here in Fairbanks! I'm just amazed how the animals can survive it.
That's brutal. Going to be close to 80 degrees here in Daytona beach today. Going beach detecting after lunch.
You are the Man!!
Thank you for all you do!!
I'm hoping to come out west one day and find gold like that! Its extremely difficult to pan/prospect in N.Y. or VT but I still go out searching when ever I can!
My findings to date since 2017 is 0.
My goal for this year is 1 gram!
I'm very passionate about it! For me it has nothing to do with great riches yet the challenge of finding a spot!
I honestly don't know how or why I even started prospecting.
It just hit me one day out of nowhere. I was in a creek when I seen some nice looking Mica.
I looked at the rock and was hooked!
I still have that very rock! Its like this rock zapped me and me search began!
I love watching you go on adventures! And oh man I would have shot my pants seeing a bear like that... You played it cool tho!
But if I do find anything I will let you know!
looks like a fun adventure, wouldn't of minded being there with you thanks for sharing
Good morning Gary. I'm glad to hear you found some gold and a bear. I hope 2019 turns out to be your best year of all time. Happy new year.
I got cold just watching you!! Nice video and as always full of good ideas. An idea for you-- some type of bear protection and hand protection LOL
Very cool Gary!!!
Liked your video, great drone work . Keep all your Toes from that Ice water😯
Another very good video Gary. After reading all the comments here I finally figured out what it is about you besides the gold you find. It's the way you explain things that reminds me of my brother teaching people how to fish. That was his whole life like gold is yours. Check him out sometime at LarryWhiteOutdoors some time. You be careful out there and don't get too cold. I can't wait till your next adventure comes out. God Bless you brother.
Really hope you find some road gold!
always have fun here 🍻👏👏
Wow, you never stop surprising me!!
- Thank You so much, sir.
yet another great video. I hope you are packing out there in bear country....that thing should be hibernating.....be careful and take a friend out there with you
Two toes legend to all within lol!great show luv this guy (bear)huh!high banking sounds great
Great video😉 the look on ya dial was priceless when you seen gold then the bear and you just tried to keep looking at the gold but then common sense kicked in! Mmm might be a good idea to skidaddle out of here😂
It was wasn't it!!
Getting me fired up already!
Thanks Gary!
PT
Wow your videos are just the best. I loved this one actually I love all of them :) Thank you
Looks so so cold, here in Aust at my spot on the Turon river u can fry an egg on the rocks lol the other extreme. Keep the videos coming love them cheers Glenno.
Right now, that sound pretty good!
Good fun - glad it was you not me freezing!
I want summer to return and stay forever. Highs of 60-70, lows of 55-60, dry, sunny and longer daylight hours. Winter go away!!! Summer come back.
Not me! summer up here is 100 -112 degrees. Fall - now were talking!
Another great video. Thx CR
Great video 2Toes!
Its not cold! Its beautiful here besides the rain. Lol I had shorts on a few days ago at the south Yuba
Did you bring this rain?
@@TwoToes id like to think no but it did happen last year when I arrived also .
lol
LOL! Always carry bear spray ;) I prefer a Glock 10mm model 20 loaded with 220 grain cor-bons :) Here though, the problem is the cougars and the Russian boars LOL!
great idea, im going to check some areas i have too, thanks
You need to go to harbor freight and get some of the long thick insulated rubber gloves
I was thinking the same thing. I used those when I had to cut ceramic tile with a wet saw in below freezing weather. They work great.
Gary, carry a can of bear spray on your hip or across your chest. Do not carry it in your backpack. You were wise to leave the area. When a bear is close and making a lot of noise he's not happy.
Trapper or chemist gloves for icy water. Flowing water can be below 32*.
All right it's the wake up this morning to a cup of coffee and some two toes awesome video.
That hungry bear looked at you and thought "man, 30 year old beef jerky would be juicier than that old geezer!"
lol
LOL
Great video, thank you for posting. You need some gloves for both panning and metal detecting. A pair of neoprene for panning are really nice lol.
Love your post. All of them. Long time watching you. Stay away from the bear's.
Not bad for a few pans! Keep warm, you started to make me feel cold, lol
Hey Garry 🤠
Good video 👍🏻
很棒！！祝你好运！！
Looked like a great time out, now lm curious about what can be found on an old mountain road..... I'll have to wait for summer though
Got to go back in the summer
Love your videos. Very straight forward, great tips, great explanation of what you are up to. Thanks for the care and time you take putting these videos together. Having made a few vids myself, I know it's not nearly as fun editing as prospecting. Cheers Sir!!! (Neoprene divers gloves!...thanks for freezing your pan hands and making me think of adding some to my prospecting kit. :D )
I keep looking at the cuts in roads and wondering if it is worth metal detecting banks where CalTrans has exposed large cuts through ridges where they cut to make the freeways flat. Surely there is at least a few that have cut through a gold vein, and I doubt they panned or sluiced the material they cut from the ridges. I seriously doubt CalTrans would be ok with digging into a road bank due to the erosion potential to mess up the roadways, but the tailings piles down the banks might be worth scanning?
@@coffeeshangarworkshop8051 you never know till you try you might be surprised good luck
Inspiring video Gary. Looking for gold in a nice little creek like that would be a great way to spend the day when it's warm. Looking forward to when you go back there.
Also, that is cool that the road gravel came from tailings. How were you able to find that out?
Thanks so much for all your hard work.
Most all the hydraulic pits in the area have a lot of fine well worn quartz gravel. It is a easy cheep source of gravel and they don't have to truck it very far.
I'm curious of your research methods? Everyone has there own methods and I can somewhat speculate how you do yours but I would love a spot on lesson on how you go about it and hopefully learn something new. Always enjoy your videos, a quality 20ish minutes well spent! Lol... hope you keep up the good work and effort. Your time spent is much appreciated. If you do a lesson video will you throw me a shout out!? Lol... Big Smiles... Best Wishes.... Mike...
I do believe you almost became a protein sandwich for that bear ! Be carful out there ! Looks to be interesting new area with some high banking written all over it!
Thanks Gary, I always enjoy your videos. You’ve got a lot of guts crawling around there in bear country. You might fill Mr Bear into the great health benefits of a vegan life style.LOL.
Good video.
I'm weak also, I see a place with potential and I've got to get my detector out and work it, so I can relate 😄
Take a look near table mountain, kimshew district. Waldemar Lindgren outlines this place in detail in his book and ive personally been in these mines described in his report, and found gold.
I wonder if that bear was a Mom and she was making noise as to give you a warning..LOL I hope not but...
Another productive day, Have a great week Gary..
Bear acting in a way "which isn't normal behaviour". Ironically he's standing there watching you give a speech to apparently nobody, in the middle of the forest :)
LOL
Could you use a magnifying glass & mini tripod to melt frozen soil around detector targets? Earlier I watched a video on Yukon Gold where the boys drilled holes in the ground & poured *cold* water in. The frozen soil thawed in minutes. Maybe it''ll thaw quickly if you solar heat it..
Great video mate 👊🏻😊👍🏻
I remember hearing about a old prospector up in the panhandle of Idaho driving down a muddy forest service road and found gold nuggets (Small pickers) sticking into the treads of his tires. I heard about this some 25 years ago. Idk if it was true or not but it was interesting to hear about it. I ended up finding some gold ore in that area but at $80 an ounce back then it wasn’t worth the troubles. Kinda wish I could remember were it was located at today, especially at $1300 an ounce
Get some white cotton liners thick 9mm neoprene gloves and the heat packs inside the cotton. TTT Wisconsin
I thought I was crazy to be metal detecting in 36 degree weather at the beach last week. Not like 17 degrees, you got some balls of Fire (you noticed that I didn’t say steel). At least the ground wasn’t frozen here like what your experienced in your neck of the woods.
YIKES! I would have left as well if the bear kept hanging around
I mentioned bears in my comment on your last video, go figure! Wish I could predict where gold is.
Great video again Gary. I won't mention mountain lions :-)
The elephant in the room:)
lol - don't!
