    Do not listen to people that say that area has been worked. I worked an area in the Scott River that everbody said was worked over and over. I paid no attention to them. I got 24 ounces in that spot in 2 months. Most people have no idea how to find gold even when it is rught under them.

    Thank you for your expertise. What I really appreciate about you and your channel is you not only talk, but you explain and show, if that makes any sense. And you show it in a real example/area that you’ve worked. For example the need to have more than just the sand…it would stand to reason that anything heavier than sand would have dropped out with the other heavy stuff. You just mentioning that kicked at least a dozen spots into my head that I’ve walked by while fishing certain rivers. Again, thank you for your expertise and willingness to share it.

    This is going to be a really interesting video. The up front cost for a good detector seems to be $4,000 and gold is ~%67/gram. Assuming Gary's success rate w/said detector one would need to find 2 grams of gold/trip for 30 trips to breakeven on just the sunk cost for the detector. My spouse frowns heavily at me whenever I mention buying one.

    Great job and thank you for explaining your procedure when crevicing , I take a few other items with me like old desert spoon and toothbrush and paint brushes and a pry bar and crowbar if needed for lifting those big boulders and a sniffer bottle if some water is in some of those holes , that’s my list ,good to have those extras just in case .
