    I’m not a video guru but I like the looks of the GoPro. The trees & sky are sharp and large like.
    As far as your gold……..we can see all of your pieces with any camera!!🤩
    Thanks Gary👍🏼

    Great tips for larger gold. Why not save your fingers by using a brush and tube to blow the dirt out of the crevices? It is so much fun to spot the gold while still lodged in the bedrock!

    What better way to procrastinate going into the office than with a new Two Toes video! I was somewhat concerned that the 2300 may have met its match with mineralized ground, as I’m considering buying one for use in Sierra county.
