Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- We follow two modern day prospectors Jerry and Mike on an adventure into a forgotten canyon, rich in history and gold. It is quite a trek just to reach this place, and the journey in tells many tales of hard lives lost, hard work put in, along with forgotten workings and relics of a golden era. It's obvious there is was good gold here, how much is left is what we came they to find out..

You nailed it, the adventure of a new spot, beautiful day in the hills, remote chuck of river and some nice gold! Sounds like a great day to me.
Thanks Gary, I couldn't help but feel like we were in your old stomping grounds, I bet you know quite a bit about that area its not far from your old claim. I love that place so much history and gold!
Jerry Jerry Jerry. Great adventure buddy ! I watched this at 3 in the morning think I was like the 6 th to watch it. Most excellent adventure brother. Man that was a cool one 👍🇺🇸⚒🍀😊
Thanks Todd It sure was that was a fun day I'll remember forever, hope to have more down in that canyon..
Mountain Mike is the coolest brotha ever. I remember watching these when you posted it. Hope Mike is doing well Jerry. America 🇺🇸
R U coming to NH
Fun times as usual I must say. Nice historic finds as well.
Hey there Gary, good to hear from you!
This is my favorite vid so far
Really nice long boulder hump....
That was a really nice boom box back at that old campsite😆😆😆😆
I can see it now, the miners challenging to each other to a dance off for the days gold take!! lol thanks Jason!
California Mother Lode Prospectors Omg ....lmao 😆😆😂😂
Being a beginner I've learned a lot from you, Jeff Williams, Two Toes and, California Gold Rush. Thank you for videos. If you keep producing I'll keep watching. By the way, you have a Great story telling tone of voice. It suits you well in producing these videos. Keep it up bro. Just for reference, the past few days Quincy California has received 3 ft of snow. So if you're thinking of going higher than 3500 ft come prepared for snow.
I really appreciate it Jeff, thanks for the support brother!
jeff lusty
"By the way, you have a Great story telling tone of voice." I was thinking the same thing. He does a fantastic job narrating the videos!
Kinda like... Kevin Costner? Hahaha
That "Tiny gravestone" at 2:30 is a foot stone and is common in pioneer cemeteries. When you encounter a large pillar type headstone with inscriptions of dead on all four sides of the interred-they are usually layed out with the graves singly away from each side and the head of the interred close to the pillar and the feet away from it and some have the foot stones left intact like the one in the video.
Awesome knowledge thank you for sharing!
Very much enjoyed this episode!👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Some nice gold Jerry and Mike what an interesting spot great work mate.
Thanks guys much luv for all the support its always appreciated, wishing you heavy pans!
Really enjoyed this adventure Jerry and Mike. Kind of a prospecting/archaeology/genealogy mission. Really thought the graves and the old mining equipment were interesting. There's a lot of history there. Thank's guy's.
Right on Jerry, that place looks awesome. I would have gotten stuck at the old dump site. I love old bottles and cans and stuff like that. Great job as always.
I know I could have as well, might need to go give it another look! Thanks Bro!
Nice day great gold in the pan
Thanks Sirp!

Much thanks for the info and support Kathleen!

good way to start my day watching someone get the nice looking gold,what a good looking river ,that camping spot looks like a good place for yall to setup
Yes It was a really nice spot to camp at one time I bet!
That was an owl feather
Thanks for the info!
np
Awesome! Seen one of these on my property today. Just moved to Georgetown, love it!
Now that looks like a great location as long as you have a bike or ATV. Lots of history along the way too. Great way to spend the day in this crazy weather.
It sure is Devin, thanks for the comment and support bro!
Nice work mate 👊🏻🤠👍🏻
Right on Bro!!
Awesome adventure, and some nice gold. Lbpa4life.Heavy pans to you too Jerry.
Thanks brother! LBPA4EVA!
That is a great horned owl's feather.
Thanks for the info!
@@californiamotherlodeprospect your welcome. I have one that roosts right above my house on a tall tree, and when he groom's himself every eving before hunt, he gets rid of his damage feathers, so not to make a swish sound when he dives for pray. They are magnificent 😍
It's always great to see you guys on an adventure and the Gold was great as well.
Thanks Joseph It was a great day!
I knew I recognized this spot my brother Keith brought me up there once before sometimes he goes by kaz
Very cool Jeremy, I'll mention the name to Mike!
I believe you found a very rare flying Zebra feather. It's like a Pegasus, only smaller with black and white stripes. I am your new subscriber, Ken,and I very much enjoy your videos and seeing all of the gold and scenery. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Thanks Ken, I'll keep an eye out for the flying zebra thing lol
Nice finds!!
Thanks!
Another great video. Thanks again. Keep em coming. They keep me excited through this crap weather we're having. Maybe I'll run into you guys out there one of these days.
Thanks Dan yeah if you are out there enough its only a matter of time!
A nice adventure and good amount of gold too. That place definitely has a lot of history. Thanks for another great video. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the continued support Dallas!
Jerry nice job! Anyway you can take me up there sometime so I can detect it ? It’s your spot so you can keep the finds.
Oh that's a hawk feather btw, not owl
Maybe worth highbanking that gravel bar could be some nice gold in there good luck for this year's prospecting
Possibly one day Paul!
Comment #308. I do confirm that's an "owl" feather
I really enjoyed that one! Besides the great chucky gold, I think what makes some of the videos so enjoyable for me is how well you and Mountain Mike get along. Thanks for sharing that adventure! 👊⛏ ✌️
Glad you enjoyed it bro, Mike is one hell of a good dude anyone can get along with him!
Good info.
Glad you think so!
Great Video!!!!
Thanks Gerald!
Great time great to see history good gold too just the trip was worth the time
Thanks Raymond!
Gentlemen, I'ma new subscriber, but have roamed the Sierras, and have friends that live in Gold Rush country in Angel's Camp, Sonora, and Murphy's. Fascinated by the history, and the toughness of the prospectors. Love seeing what you guys pull out of the nooks and crannies...BTW: Slumerican said that was an owl feather. Either that or may have been a juvenile hawk tail feather. They are banded when they're young,but I may be wrong. Go and get that Shiny!
Thanks for the comment William, hope to see you around more!
great adventure. somebody out there buy mike a new super sluice. keep up the great vids.
HAHA Thanks! He loves his custom pan!
Loving the show keep it up. Keep it AU%
Thanks! Will do!
Mountain Mike looks like he's been rough on his pan. Lol. Garrett Super Sluice is a tough pan too. Ya'll had a great day. Jerry really got the gold that day. I hope one day to prospect with ya'll & eat some of Mike's cooking. Thanks for the videos.
Man, what an awesome chunk of footage! That scenery is so sweet. There is nothing like checking out somewhere new, especially when someone suggests it. Bloody nice looking gold, it's got that mad river look about it, its got to be getting caught somewhere along there!!
Couldn't agree more!
Looks like a Cooper hawk but odd to see one in the mountains
Could be!
Great video. I missed this one. That was killer! And definitely a Turkey feather.
Thanks Paul! Hope all is well brother
Yeehaww looked like a cool area ! Lots of stuff left from previous prospectors !
Yes sir they were some messy miners for sure!
Ya I bet its gonna get real hot this summer and not only the weather the gold too!!!
I sure hope so Steve!
I think it was a turkey feather.
awesome
Enjoyed the tour.....fantastic episode. I get a kick out of seeing someone ride a Reflex in prospecting vids, the right choice for the mountains. Keep you feet up and put on a hat!
Yes sir you are right should have had a helmet and for sure gotta keep the feet up on that thing I learned that the hard was when I first got it.. That thing is a like riding a mountain goat!
Very cool video
Much appreciated Chris, hope all is well and your pans are heavy bro!
Jerry. I do believe that is a "bird" feather.
You sir are a Genius!
@@californiamotherlodeprospect thanks
Great adventure Jerry, you got some nice pieces of gold. I absolutely LOVE seeing all the old equipment that is left behind and that will be there 100 years from now. These videos just keep getting me MORE motivated to get out there when I move back. Keep it up brother, stay safe and see you in September.....it will probably be very hot by the looks of February there!👍
Yes sir Mark I can't wait for this summer, so much prospecting to be had!
California Mother Lode Prospectors Amen brother!!
Sweetness!!! The the money shot of gold at the end=] did really well!! I cant wait til I get out to the mother lode to have an adventure for the books!!! One day... for now keep the camera rolling and the gold flowing!!!
Thanks Shawn it was an awesome adventure!
Nice and chunky gold. Don't forget to clean up trash, should only take 3 or 4 years. Interesting grave stones n old equipment.
Yes sir thanks for the support!
Wtg Jerry n Mike,,,,, i was gonna say Owl feather also... its so amazing how in the Old days how they could get such Huge Heavy Metal equip way up and out. That was cool to see.. thanks for the great Adventure.. i always love the music also!! .
Thanks for the support as always, glad you enjoyed!
Tiny grave stones mean babies without names. That ore cart is dope! I'm jelly I would probably die happy to spend a day with you two! I want to donate a bunch of what I find in California to the kan!
Yes sir I need to make a deposit to the Kan soon as well..
Oh wow love the pyrite crystals! You really found some cool stuff there Jerry and who could ask for a better way to isolate from the virus. Thanks for another great video. Big nuggets to you!
Thanks for the love Ivan!
Just found your video this morning. Found the graveyard portion very interesting especially the grave of the woman from Busti NY since that's less than an hour from me in NY.
Wow small word! very interesting indeed, thanks for the support!
Bro!! That was a sick adventure :D
You found some chunky monkey gold
That was some great weather on a sick stretch of river!!
I need to get out of hawaii and back into the motherlode :D
Until then keep feeding me awesome videos
Mike found some great color too man!!
Can’t wait to get back on the river with him
He sure knows his way around those hills !!
Hopefully I see you soon brother!! Aloha
You know mother yuba misses her Hawaiian son, and so do we bro, I cant wait till your diggin with us again!
Great video Jerry. Man it's beautiful out there. Hopefully will get out there later in the year. One thing good about the outdoors, it's only you, the gold and nature. No Corona virus......lol.
You got that right! Thanks Dan!
Rounded tip on the feather usually means a wing feather off of an owl.I'm thinking Spotted Owl.The Barred Owl is invading the west coast but the Forrest Service is shooting them to protect the Spotted. I don't know why one owl is better than the other but thats whats been going on for a # of years.
Excellent info Paul thanks for sharing!
Yes thanks for the awareness!!
leave it to the forest service to ruin more than they help
The spotted owl is a protected species. Species management is what it seems. Like good care of a forest requires cutting down some trees to help the other trees stay healthy.
Really nice looking area! Git dat Gooold!!
Gotta get dat GOOOOOOLD!!!
Grouse feather. Cool vid
Excellent video.
Thank you very much Jake!
looks like a hawk feather. maybe a redtail
Thanks Jeff!
did some browsing, and i think this could be your bird :)
www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/coopers_hawk/id
Not Owl, not Turkey and not Woodpecker, definitely Hawk feather, possibly Cooper's or Marsh Hawk.
Thanks for the clarification Vance!
Hola amigo en parte se encuentran me interesa saber yo soy gambucino y me gustaria estar alli gracias
Sweet..
Very!
Either quail or some kind of hawk for the feather....
Thanks Elijah!
That was a way cool adventure brother. ✌️
Hells yes bro it sure was!
Pretty sure that grave stone said 1856
Two Toes comes along and....BAM 1ouncer
Yes exactly!! lol
@California Mother Lode Prospecting I need panning material so dam bad. No getting out to pan since September is really getting to me and its only getting worse since adult group homes like I live in aren't aloud to go on outings anymore for what could me months which has put me in a slump of depression
Hey man love the vids, Turkey feather I believe
Sweet bunch of gold Jerry, I'll be off work for at least a few weeks because I've been quarantined due to my lung issues ( theres a few lol ) so I'll be watching a lot of UA-cam videos . Take care of yourself and stay healthy young fellow and I still think you should narrative for TV or Radio , best regards from Lloyd way up here in Ontario Canada.
Thanks Lloyd, I hope you don't end up with this garbage somehow, stay safe and thanks for the support!
That's a red tailed hawks feather Gerry . ✌️😁
Thanks for the info!
The feather is from a larger size of woodpecker, like a redheaded variegated woodpecker or a hawk's belly feathers. I think.
Thanks for the info!
Cool video, who said gold was easy to find?? Good job
It's always when you think its gonna be great its not, and vise versa lol
Mike has VG in his crack.... My wife and i hadca good laugh at all of that. We may have been cooped up in the house to long. Great vid!
LOL yeah when you put it like that, I'd be laughing to! Thanks Mike!
