      Thank you! Looks like your into some nice gold, not to sure about the underground thing, I think I would get claustrophobic. I bet the gold helps cure that. Good luck looking forward to the next one.

Hah I love how your like "Well its not huge" or "We got some nice gold" and here I am spilling my chocolate milk on my keyboard trying to put my eyes back in my head! Great information like always and absolutely KILLER gold your finding! Id love to scratch a few of those rocks where you are. Thanks for sharing!

      I've been watching off and on for awhile. Also visited many channels because I wanted a better idea of what other Prospectors had to say. I iniatially thought your approach was a touch slow for me. Basically because I'm new to the hobby ! I was anxious to get going and wanted to experience the excitement of finding Gold NOW ! Gold Fever ! 😳😂
      I soon realized after a dozen or so outings Detecting and Digging an finding "Nothing, Zero pieces of shiney metal" its a "Hugh Process" and wondering into the desert and picking nuggets off the ground was not happening and needed to start building my knowledge of Geology and learn how to read the areas albiet Desert or Mountains I needed a teacher ! Back to your channel 🤔😁 and I have learned so much. Love your style and can't get enough. I've actually found a couple Grams in the area I stayed the winter in AZ. Keep'um coming, I'll be watching, Thanks ! 😁😉😎

  • @kittygonzalez2827
    @kittygonzalez2827 Рік тому +1

    You are the one prospector I can make bets on and profit! You usually have 2 things on your mind. 1) gold ...2) food ‼️🎯😂 Actually, the third thing you mention in every video is ...the angle of the sun and time to pack up and head out; but many prospectors have that same thought when they are heading out in lieu of camping nearby. I figure you live with a 2 hr drive from most places we see you at, but why is it always so darned far to pack in and out? I know you must run into an awful lot of rattlers, and that would make me hike out during daylight too! But I have seen bears and cougars in the hills around the 1500 to 5500 elevation both Sierras and Coastal, Mayacamas!

    Thank you Gary, I'm watching this again because it's raining and it's just fun to watch your channel. Thanks for the videos. I especially like the way you instruct. You explain before what you will do and then prove your point with the Gold. Also, thanks for sharing those methods you use too. I just got into prospecting a couple years ago and keep learning from you. You have the best way to show "How To". Thanks, I just had to let you know your helping us all to understand prospecting and your videos have great scenery too! That snake is a reminder, keep your eyes looking around! OK, back to the rainy day videos. Please make as many as you can!

    I appreciate the way that you often act as a "steward" of the land, and even though you want to dig around, you do not want to do more damage than necessary. I was tuning my banjo and you popped on in the background, I don't stop playin' for much so you must be alright. Keep Moving, keep an eye on our beautiful world. Most of all, GOOD LUCK! 🍀🧠💪♥️🕊️

    I love your videos thankyou for making them.
    Ive learnt a lot from all your experience and hopefully whether im detecting, high banking, panning
    or just 'reading the river' ALL of it has helped me to better understand and I think when I get out there in the field to better my chances of finding some colour too...
    id be going today except its windy and 39d Celsius.

    Hi Gary, I just turned 98!,and I feel like I know how to prospect,just from your great shows.Have you ever thought of having a couple students to work with you? Then you could be scraping 3 crevasses at a time. Don't pay them , charge them for the privilege.

  • @paulmikul683

  • @adolfbidendork2083
    @adolfbidendork2083 3 роки тому

    When carrying something like the motor switch hands every 10 seconds. The reason is very simple. If you carry it for 20 seconds lactic acid starts to build. Then the arms become very sore very quickly. Make the exercise anaerobic by only using the muscles a very short period. Then resting the same period. This uses a different energy source in the muscles and it will replenish quickly. Muck like wind sprints where you work and rest...no lactic acid build up! Therefore very little pain if any. You can even do this with something like a very heavy 12v battery. work and rest while walking.

    I'm so glad I found your channel. I have a property in SW Virginia that has an old iron ore mine on it and I'm 2 10ths of a mile from the New River and the property is chock full of crystal iron round river rocks. For years I've noticed shiny flecks in the busted rocks. I know some of it is pyrite but some of it I'm convinced is gold.

    Pinto creek runs through Pinto valley mine. The area I would be showing you is the part of the creek that runs into the mine. It's in a fairly deep but accessable canyon. I've panned in there before but I didn't go all the way in, but I did find lots blacksand.

    Another great vid. I liked the camera angles and a lot of the composition of this video. Very instructional. Plus you kicked ass on the gold as usual!!! Thank you.

    Hey Gary, Once you've cleaned up your gold, what do you do with all the gold you find?

      Sell it to a jeweler and put the money in my IRA.
