    Nice work Gary ,
    I found an unworked unknown creek not recorded , less than 1 hour from my house in the rainforest the other day, my best pan went over 50 colours .
    I haven't hit bottom yet im very excited to get back fri or sat with a long shovel and an extension on my yabbie pump. To see whats at the bottom. Thanks again for teaching us how to find Gold.
    I dont gamefish much lately anymore though. "Oh hows the Feaver". Cheers Bruce.

    Use the detector to find hot spots, then pan. Or detect on top of those dredge tailings. What was on the bottom is now on top. I bet it been done a few times, but did they do it all ? How about the blow out at the spillway. That moved some gold around !

    • @TwoToes
      @TwoToes  6 років тому +4

      That is a good idea. I know Jeff is ahead of me again. I think I will take the detector down there and just work the spots that have lead. This could work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Mr. Gary, been watching your show a long time, learned a lot. One thing I still have not learned and wish to know are the names of any of these rivers. Are you that carefull in not divulging
    ? Please give us at least some local history of your area since your only five minutes away from a river. Names please, love your show. I have a story of my Dad catching a sixty five pound ling cod on a five pound red snapper who ate a one inch piece of herring. Roughest time I ever had gaffing that fish as a fifteen year old. And now I am 72. My wife is Sharon and I am Roy. Want to talk?

    • @TwoToes

      Up where I am there isn't alot of quartz gravel. I'm sure there would be some quartz pieces with gold in them, but I think they would few and far between. If your in a area that has a lot of quartz rocks it might be worth your time to take a look.Thanks - Gary

      @austingilliland3085 6 років тому

      Guess it helps if I finish watching the video before posting like a ding-a-ling. Awesome. Was just trying to get an idea of where you go. I live in a suburb of Sacramento and know you are somewhat near by. I would love to go prospecting with you one day. I am a beginner prospector, I have been interested in prospecting for 4-5years but work and home life have made my adventures out to the river very few. Living in the heart of historic gold country is both a blessing and a curse. It’s great because you know there was gold here and probably still is but it’s super difficult to sort out where has been mined out by bucket dredges and where is still worth while for a small hobby prospector. I know the chance of striking it rich is very slim but I would like to fine more than 50-100mesh flower gold.

    2nd year prospecting but I was curious do outside bends have flood gold? I live in Washington and the Green river is right out my back door. The inside bend is covered with BlackBerry up and down the river. Is it worth it to try behind the trees in the flood zones. PS lots of black sand too.

    • @TwoToes
      @TwoToes  6 років тому

      Flood gold can be found most anywhere, but over the long run you will find more gold by sticking to the "gold will take the shortest route down the river" rule.

    • @TwoToes
      @TwoToes  6 років тому

      The UA-cam channel was my son Joe's idea. He had built a rock crawler out of his Jeep and wanted to start making 4 wheeling videos. He convinced me to start making gold prospecting videos. The original idea was to have a split channel. One side would be 4 wheeling - Two Toes, the other side gold prospecting - gold mining basics. The name Two Toes, came from the fact there is no where a Goat can't go with their two toes!Well, life caught up with my son. His wife, who is in the Air force, got stationed in Omaha, Nebraska.Nebraska, is not known for its mountains, not much rock crawling going on there. Then in addition to my grandson they were blessed with twin girls. That pretty much killed the 4 wheeling because Joe is a stay at home dad.

    To be fair just the weight isn't the whole story. It's also the number out trips taken to collect it. If one has 50% more gold and it took over twice as many trips how's that fair? Maybe it could be weight/# trips. Just saying. Cheers

      Whites makes the GMT, Fisher makes the Gold Bug.
      And Gary likely has 10 of each. ;)

    I heard that the dirt that has been excavated from the dam has gold in it. And the feds are guarding that dirt against the people who want to pan it. Is there any truth to that since the problems with the dam. And are you allowed to pan close to the Dam?

      Most all that dirt is just that, dirt! It came off the hillside and has no more gold in it than any other hillside. I have worked that section of river off and on from 1970 until the state closed the state park off to all prospecting, in the 1990's ( I think). That section of river has very little gold left in it. You are not allowed to do any prospecting in Oroville dam below the 900 foot level. The river, from the dam to the fish ladder is also closed, or as far as I know it is.

      What I was told where they dug in the water by the dam. The guy who told me his brother operated the excavator form a barge digging in the water by the dam. not off the hillsides. But since you live there you should know​ thanks. Funny the state closed the water to panning.
