That bear didn't you was there till you hit him with the spotlite!! Jeff you eat like a king!! Got one of those grittles, love it!! Thanks for bringing us along!! Can't believe you own a suffer bottle!! Sucking up all that seed gold!!🤣🇺🇲⛏👍
Been watching two toes for the last year learning. Glad I stumbled onto your channel. Yuba river has some beautiful areas for sure. Heavy pans my friend.
Hey Jeff, Thanks For Taklng Us Along On Your Camping Trip ! Very Cool Town With Alot Of History ! Going To Check It Out Come September During My Downieville Week With Keene and Friends !! GL&HH Greg
Another great video Jeff Thanks for sharing mate Beautiful country you were in, and your cooking looked alright too. Wishing you and your family a happy new year, from your mates down under. Cheers Bruce.
Nice outing and cool tour of Washington. I bet you barely slept after that encounter. Have a merry Christmas 🎅 buddy. You will get the best of Gary next year 🤟
Doesn’t get much better than waking up to another video. Two Toes,Top Cat and Smithsgold are my favs. Thxs for making it possible for us all to watch especially when it’s bad weather where I live. “Truckee Miner”
I knew you looked familiar, You're always getting all that lead in Gary's videos. Looked like an awesome camping trip with some sweet gold to boot! Liked and subscribed brother! 👍👍
Years ago, a friend of mine found an 8.3 ounce nugget near Washington. I almost bought a 6.5 acre property on the SF Yuba at Washington years ago - just could not really afford it.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks. All gold adds up. I'm going to hit some creeks around my place in Northwest Alabama. Maybe detect around the Natchez Trace which runs through this little stretch of Alabama.
A Bear shows up at Bigfoots camp 😳 ! No worries for the umbrella twirling , boulder rolling , pistol packing big guy 😂😂. Merry Christmas Jeff to you sir and your family ✌️
Hi Jeff, good to see you are able to get out with the break in the weather, looks like you had some nice sunny days. The Yuba looks nice and inviting, I'm going to have to check it out sometime. Food looks good too. I thought the bears wouldn't be out this time of the year, I guess that's California weather for California bears! I finally got the time to get in my garage to work on some of my dirt from this year, can't wait to get out there again. I hope we get some big storms this winter to tear up some more gold for the upcoming year. Wishing you & your family a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!! Take care, Serg
Well your visitor is a little bigger than the ladies that I normally dance with. Seemed to be well mannered though. Your wife seems to be pretty expert on that grill. I like your little camper tent. Quick and convenient for weekend trips. Take care
Special boulder fields beautifully filmed Jeff! I am sticking with you Jeff because you can cook! Guys like me wouldn’t make it out there! Thank you for your generosity in taking us with you into Wild California searching for El Dorado! Dan Brent
I stayed there at river rest last august with some family. It was two weeks after I met you at the nugget hunt. Thx for the upload. I enjoy your channel because of your demeanor. You are a unique man Jeff. I can appreciate that. And remember everybody, who’s gold was that??? Smithsgold
Thanks for making this video I didn't get to get out this year it's awesome seeing some people at the Yuba it relaxes me you guys are awesome keep making videos and I'll keep watching
Jeff, You have a great "eye" with the camera. Love how you showcase the nature and tell a story. Were you on a private claim? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my friend.
Thanks Bill, nope just went down at the campground and Panned the other side of the river looked better but I wasn't willing to get wet to get there !! Merry Christmas
My father and I camped there and prospected there about 10 years ago. It was the spring after the death of the owner of the campsite in Washington. His widow was doing her best to keep things moving. We went to the bar and had some drinks and the old timers there warned us about the cold water. That evening my pop ended up getting frost bite from said water and had to head back to the bay. Crazy
A very relaxing video Jeff, thoroughly enjoyed the camping trip and the peace and tranquility of a running river , nice yella fella also . Hope you all have a safe and happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year , cheers mate , Ned .
I love when bears bring themselves around and are just curious. Amazing creatures! Very cool area of Washington, never been but adding to my bucket list. Gorgeous river, and pretty looking gold! Sweet trip Jeff, thanks for taking us along! Merry Christmas to you and your family brother
As always, really appreciate the time you take out of scratching/panning to share with us. Between the quake & upcoming rains, good chance the upper gold should start moving again. Looking forward to more videos. Merry Christmas to you & your family! Thanks. AU AL
