    Gary, I gotta say that you definitely are the best UA-cam gold prospecting teacher, period, and I have put more of your shared wisdom to use than all the other resources combined. Watching this video reminds me that you’ve already made a lot of what you shared a normal part of my scouting routine and it definitely has all strengthened my overall prospecting game. Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom and adventures with all of us these past couple/few years and I truly hope your health and intestinal fortitude to defy aging, will get us all another 30 years with you shooting videos out in the field!

      Flour gold Wizards, I just discovered your videos a few months ago and definitely enjoy watching you chase that fine gold in Wisconsin. I have a friend in Wisconsin and you talk just like him or he does like you, you’re older😁. I enjoy so many UA-cam gold personalities but you gotta admit, Gary covers all the grounds and does it in a way like he’s one of your uncles trying to have you enjoy the adventure without being too “teachy” but at the same time giving you too much info to retain all at once, lol, so you gotta keep hanging with him. Please know that I admire your notion of feeding that can all this time for one lucky person after 7000👍👍

    Can’t complain about that gold👍🏻 and you’ll get used to that detector soon enough the sound it makes for gold is either high to low tone or low to high tone with iron being the opposite (I can’t remember which is which you can test it at home) but it helps with identifying the rubbish thx for sharing see you on the next one 👊🏻

    is there an effective way to get fine dust gold out of sand without water ? , If you know a way please do a video on the subject because dry panning is painfully ineffective not to mention labor intensive compared to wet panning.
