    Gary, I watch a ton of videos about finding gold and I'm a newbie to it down here in Arizona. You're videos are so very well put together and informative. The time you put into teaching on your videos is simply outstanding. I love that there's no fluff or hoopla, simply straight forward knowledge and teaching. I just subscribed to your channel. I've been finding flood gold in the washes but it is a ton of work vacuuming and cleaning the bedrock. I'm ready to start hunting for something larger and this video is awesome information. Thank you for what you do, I'm a fan.

    On a trip to Alaska, Juneau, up on Gold Creek my plan was about the same as yours. I looked up on high bank shelves that trapped gravel. I found 3 pieces of gold in 10 minutes. I had to pack up and get back to the cruise ship! I had to turn in my pack shovel to the pursers office because they thought it could be used as a weapon. (well, so can a bottle of catchup, I guess). I had some gold to show off at the dinner table. 2005.
