    I like the way you turn a hunt into a teaching session. Bending nails over was a new one. My dad used square nails on his barn. Keep up the great work. Hire someone to do the yard work.

    Gary , your the only fellow that can take a damp spot on the dirt path and turn it into a pond to pan in and find gold . I'm sure I'm not speaking for myself when i say that you are the "The King Of Gold Prospecting and one of the most knowledgeable guys out there . Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge, best regards from Lloyd way up here in Ontario Canada.

    Instead of a door they could be from the original framing of a cabin as what I have seen on current construction. Lots of waste lumper has nails but bent over for safety reasons after removed from a house or cabin. See nails bend them over to not hurt another person working on frame. Thank you for the great video. Always learning.

  • @robertlundbohm7775
    @robertlundbohm7775 4 роки тому

    I like how you adapt to the environment and terrain, going from one site to another and taking the time to explain to us neophytes why and what you look for and how to approach it.
    I've read several theories why all those nails are in one hole...I personally don't think It can be a stash of new nails as it has those bent ones mingled with the straight.
    Here's my thought, They were all, but the cook, working late into the evening and when they came back, you guessed it the cook burned the shack down. SO, they all stood around staying warm by the fire and as the shack burned itself down they had to keep adding more wood in ONE little location to stay warm thru the night. It all makes perfect and logical sense to this imaginative 68yr ol' idiot...lol That right there is a good campfire story to tell the grand kids.
    Anyway,
    I always enjoy your very instructional and entertaining videos. Please stay healthy and safe so some of us can live vicariously thru your videos...just kidding, it's just still too cold and snowy here in Idaho to get into the mountains and there is hardly any desert left with public access to justify FREEZING to death yet. Roads are frozen early mornings but then turn into a ball bearing covered slimy, mucky solution on top of ice. Try driving even a 4x4 on that is just ludicrous and insane in these sub freezing temps so seeing gold in your pan has to suffice for now.
    Thanks from Idaho.

    Where I come from, there is a greenish sandy soil with tiny black specks in it, called limonite. The black specks being iron ore, at the surface the material oxidizes into what is called glauconite: a rust-coloured sandstone with occasionally very hard veins of iron concretions in it. Maybe your two soils (green and rustcoloured) show the same fenomenon?

    Good show glad you found some gold. Good lesson on the buried nails. most people wouldn't put two and two together and realize that it was a burn pile not a structure. Question, you wouldn't know anyone or have a really old detector that you don't use ever anymore and would like to get off from for cheap. I'll send the money before with shipping included in that. I'm poor I can't I don't want to get $100 one offline. unless you have one to suggest that'll work I used to use the old gold-bug 1, loved it, as my favorite detector I've tried to Garrett gold I like gold-bug better.
