Much appreciated Pauly! Cant wait to see what this years flood has in store for you, we're also having quite the winter here which hopefully brings forth some river stirring of sorts.. Happy holidays to you and yours, heavy pans in 2022!
@PioneerPauly huge fan you so real and it helps people like me with some of my wrestling matches in Life I just stumbled across these guys and now I have 4 channels to watch! Flood Gold Fever ❣️🤒
Some epic sniping. That crack was packed with pickers. No speck counts in this video. In the poetic words of the legendary river philosopher Mountain Mike, "Eat your heart out Vo-Gus."
Say what you want about Vo-Gus but the guy at least puts out frequent videos and has maximized the potential yield that his area will give up. That would be like throwing out a dig at Flour Gold Wizards because he is limited to glacial micros in his region, but yet he is out there grinding, even in sub zero temps to share frequent adventures with his audience.
@@timothycloney1453 I agree. He plays the hand that the geology in his area has dealt him. He does the best he can with what he’s got and does it with a smile on his face. It’s easy to get spoiled by the riches of the Northern California Motherlode. Two rules of gold mining. Rule number one: You have to mine where the gold is. Rule number two: The best miner is the one having the most fun.
What can I say but excellent!! What a video brother. That spot is amazing and I hope it keeps on pumping out gold for ya.! Great to see mike in a video again good teamwork 🇺🇸👍⚒🍀😎
Back in the early 1970s I was breacking bedrock on the bottom of the river when I broke what I thought was bedrock but turned out to be false bedrock with about one and a half gap between that and the true bedrock. I got as much as my pry bar would scrape. Couldn't break anymore. I got close to 3oz! I am now disabled and can't do it any longer. I live vicariously though you guys! Keep it up! It was on the north fork american river! Good luck!
So happy to see you guys again! The call of the Gold Country is strong!!! Thanks Jerry & Mike for sharing your great adventure. Lots of love & merriest of Christmas wishes to you & your loved ones!
Jerry, you and Mike are the Wild and Crazy Guys of gold prospecting. An amazing day with all of your combined skills on display. Great video to end the year and gives you momentum into the New Year.
What an amazing day!! Jerry you and Mike always deliver!! Great vidio as always,looked like a lot of fun!! Thanks for bringing us along,can't wait to see your next adventure!!!🇺🇲⛏🍻
This is the one thing I envy about you california guys. Couldn't ever live in CA (unless somehow hidden off grid) but i LOVE the abundance of gold you have! Great job guys!
Awesome day Jerry! And fantastic Northern California gold. Viewers! This is for Real! Wild-caught natural gold from the northern Cali motherload! And Jerry, you are really fortunate to have Mountain Mike for a friend! Thank you for posting I am very much inspired.
Wow !!! It's Been Awhile !!! But Definitely Worth The Wait !!! Thanks for Sharing !!! Chef Mike's Amazing With Food Prep and Tips on Berry's !!! GL&HH Greg
Guys guys guys!!! That was nuts!!!! I was smiling the whole time with ya, i frickin live for that energy and the way you enjoy life. Mountain Mike, you are such a joy to watch, your enthusiasm is fantastic. Glad you boys got to have such a amazing day. Killer video Jerry 😀
Bro I have been waiting for another video from the one and only. U and mike always have a good time. I'm a youtube prospector as well and I started out by watching u guys over there in Californy. Hands down best gold videos out there. Thanks for all the adventures. Your editing and great commentary make it feel like I'm in the motherload with u. . Keep them coming . Life gets crazy somtimes I know. But keep em coming
Now I realize how much I've missed your vlogs. Great adventure!! If anyone needs proof that gold magnets exist . . . there's you and Mike! And the chef skills help too! Awesome find! Heavy pans and good weather . . .
i did the same thing in az, off of a small stream , instead of snorkling down a used a 5 gal, bucket with a long hose, and a lawn blower motor, 2" hole about 2/3 th s the way up the bucket, and vaccumed the gold up, in the bucket was miners moss and the water ran out the back of the bucket, , the ranger came down and tried to tell me that i was suction gold mining, but i wasnt the different is that suction units go into a sluice then out , mine is suction out into a bucket catching the gold instead of sluicing. they tried for hours, then the ranger from the BLM told that it was LEGAL what i was doing,. next time bring your bucket.
Great area. That is a classic bedrock crack. Gold is always beautiful when you see it in the water. The crack is amazing. Especially when it is going in line with the flow and not accross the flow. I would have to move those boulders above the crack. Thanks for sharing this great gold adventure.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Hell yeah fellas, HET THAT GOLD! It is great seeing you guys back out digging for that shiny candy 🍬 I'm looking forward to seeing your next adventure 👍
Great video and you truly captured an epic adventure on film. It’s always good to see Mike in your videos but unfortunately your videos don’t pop up like they used to. I am sure there is something going on in your life that prevents you from going on frequent adventures, I hope you get it sorted out, if so. I hate to be critical but sometimes I feel like some things need to be said. I am not sure how much patreon support you get but I am a big believer that if someone is being supported by patrons, then they have somewhat of an obligation to put out frequent videos. Not necessarily weekly episodes but at least 1 or 2 a month beyond posting shorts or live streams. Ive seen the dynamics of some adventure channels change downwards once someone shifts gears from being just a guy sharing their adventures to someone being monetized and getting support. No doubt you are a great producer, a great host and your adventure videos are top notch quality, I hope you can rally and provide your patrons with more consistent content. Please understand that I am just a subscriber and I didn’t say subscribers because patrons take it next level with their loyalty to a channel when they actually contribute. I apologize for the critical words and do realize that I enjoy your channel and always appreciate it when you share in on your adventures with us, your audience, so thank you. Looking forward to future videos, be well.
Couldn't imagine leaving a spot like that. You guys hammered that crevice but makes you wonder about all the other overburden? Thanks for taking us along Jerry! AU AL
Wow jerry just wow im so stoked to see u back put doing what u love definitely made my day when i saw california motherload in my videos hope all is well and very merry christmas to u and your kids and mountain mike and his family god bless and keeping rollin
*Outstanding Jerry I love listening to you* This was extra special- because as you say,all in one 3ft section of a crack,so that’s super impressive and monumentous occasion,for the memories… sending my best regards to you.. keep safe,well,happy and lucky 🥰🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey just an idea from my diving days, place plastic bags over your feet and hands before you pull the wetsuit on, limbs will slide right on, pull the bag out and you're ready to go. Good find that gold
Tell Mike I really owe to him for helping me down on bills claim bringing me food and tools and parts to get my explorer out there !!!I want meet up with him again to do some mining !
Another great video. Those gooseberries are delicious. We make jelly out of them. Tons in our neck of the woods in Amador County. Great sniping day! Only have had one like that in 20 years of doing it and that was 9.1 grams. It was almost a similar crack with a hole that went quite a ways down on a creek in El Dorado County.
What a great adventure in such beautiful nature. And then still so much gold in the pan a dream. Thank you for this great video 🙏and for sharing this moment with us. I gladly left a subscription and a big like. Golden greetings from Germany Christian🤠
Imagine how much gold is upstream of that. That gold wasn't in there for very long. Make a mold of that gold trap and it looks like we have the new automatic gold sluice. I'll buy one! Nature shows us the way! God Bless you guys and Merry Christmas! Spread love!
Nice wondering if any gold ends up here near San Jacinto Hemet we got Idyllwild mountains above us and a small river that has recently been getting cleaned out with all the rain this season
well hello jerry n mike , so good to see you on the river . and wowser what a gold mine in that crack. you guys did real good , nglad your back jerry, and mike - the haircut looks good on you brother. well ,heavy pans .
You sound like Kevin Costner in dancing with wolves. Outside of being an awesome gold prospector, your narration is always top notch Jerry. Great video as always
Congratulations I love to hear the excitement can’t help but wonder what it must’ve been like for the folks that found it the first time how much there must’ve been sitting river full of gold can only imagine what California must’ve been like
You need to go back there with a vacuum. Tape a large bendable straw to the end of the nozzle (711 big gulp type straw) so you can reach right and left in the crevice you were working. Be interesting to see what you could get out of there.
Awesome video guys , very well done on your ,discovery of th he crack that's being very rewarding. Great underwater video footage. I hope you guys are able to make a " yabbie pump " with also modified end cap that can be reduced down from 4 inch to 2 inch with long nozzle to be able to suck up the gravels into a screen classifier on top of a large gold dish . That way you'll be able to catch even the fine gold when panning . Going now to watch the videos on your channel, also subscribed as well . Best luck 8n future l99k forward to watching more in the future. Regards from Kalgoorlie Boulder western Australia.
Way to go boys! We just had a record breaking flood over here so I'm super antsy to get underwater. Happy holidays!
Much appreciated Pauly! Cant wait to see what this years flood has in store for you, we're also having quite the winter here which hopefully brings forth some river stirring of sorts.. Happy holidays to you and yours, heavy pans in 2022!

Should have checked up under the boulder field

3:05 hopefully that crack keeps going! Those are some big boulders to move.
Outstanding video Jerry! Congratulations too you both def a good day chasing yellow rocks!
Hey just an idea from my diving days, place plastic bags over your feet and hands before you pull the wetsuit on, limbs will slide right on, pull the bag out and you're ready to go.
Good find that gold
Nice work and really nice Gold, congrats to a loaded day of nice chunky pickers⛏😊
Tell Mike I really owe to him for helping me down on bills claim bringing me food and tools and parts to get my explorer out there !!!I want meet up with him again to do some mining !
Another great video. Those gooseberries are delicious. We make jelly out of them. Tons in our neck of the woods in Amador County.

Wow! Guys you smashed it on this day out! Great result and videoo thanks for sharing.
You make the wait worthwhile.

I gladly left a subscription and a big like.
Golden greetings from Germany
Christian🤠
Why did I wait this long to watch this video.
Welcome back Jerry!!!
Imagine how much gold is upstream of that. That gold wasn't in there for very long. Make a mold of that gold trap and it looks like we have the new automatic gold sluice. I'll buy one! Nature shows us the way!
God Bless you guys and Merry Christmas! Spread love!
Would a bounty hunter 2 detector be worth trying? It was one of the top radio shack models.
Good video nice to see you guys back in action
Now that's a spot to keep hush hush. Glad to see you back at it bud. Hope to see more.
Jerry make more damn videos!!! Those stuck in boxes need your content to live vicariously! 🗣

Thanks for posting, Merry Christmas!
Wow, all of that rock/bedrock has cracks in it, that's awesome, congrats to you both

DAMN!! YOU GUYS ARE KILLING IT!! I need to find a place like that.....
You sound like Kevin Costner in dancing with wolves. Outside of being an awesome gold prospector, your narration is always top notch Jerry. Great video as always
Might be a silly suggestion but, how about making a small diameter yabby pump to pull out the gold & gravels?
Congratulations I love to hear the excitement can’t help but wonder what it must’ve been like for the folks that found it the first time how much there must’ve been sitting river full of gold can only imagine what California must’ve been like
You need to go back there with a vacuum. Tape a large bendable straw to the end of the nozzle (711 big gulp type straw) so you can reach right and left in the crevice you were working. Be interesting to see what you could get out of there.
Good day to ya from placer county! Been missing your adventures!
That was way fun. Thank you for sharing with us.
I love the narration at the end. It reminds me of Marty Stouffer.
Awesome video guys , very well done on your ,discovery of th he crack that's being very rewarding. Great underwater video footage. I hope you guys are able to make a " yabbie pump " with also modified end cap that can be reduced down from 4 inch to 2 inch with long nozzle to be able to suck up the gravels into a screen classifier on top of a large gold dish . That way you'll be able to catch even the fine gold when panning . Going now to watch the videos on your channel, also subscribed as well . Best luck 8n future l99k forward to watching more in the future. Regards from Kalgoorlie Boulder western Australia.
Glad and happy to see y'all back. with another killer hunt.Peace
Is Mt Mike a grower?
Definitely the stuff dreams are made of! Good job guys, stay safe and merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
First video i have seen from you in a while. Very happy for you sir. HEAVY PANS!!!!
I like Dan Hurd. And nothing against Dan Hurd. But your video kept me going the whole way. Good content. Keep up the awesome work
*Wishing you an amazing year of prospecting my friend! I subscribed! I'm a BIG fan!* 😊😍✅🏴☠️💰💰💰🏴☠️✅😍😊
Have you guys thought about a Abby pump to get the areas you can’t get by hand?
I like the full face snorkel masks for shallow sniping. The vision is just too good even with a cheap one
