    It’s awesome to see you working those old river benches ..
    Also Nobody believes me when I tell me the gold doesn’t move every winter
    Only during large floods
    It definitely explains why all the good ground is disappearing …
    Those were some nice smaller chunks Gary ✨⛏️
    Thanks again for more great lessons on high river water good and river benches

Am from Central Otago New Zealand,would be happy with your smallest flake 😂it’s all gold bearing land,alluvial and nuggets,would appreciate any advice on where to look? I go out and get fly specks 😂 not enough to weigh,chunky would be better 😂❤ thank you for lugging all the equipment around for us to watch you!!! Thank you,hard work.

    • @TwoToes

Thank you, our excellent professor.

      The Fish and Game Code, the Clean Water Act, and the California Water Code prohibit you from discharging water and waste sediment from your highbanker or power sluice to an area such that it may enter a stream, river, lake, or other surface water body without a permit .
      It clearly does not restrict movement of gravels picked by hand and transported by hands and pans
