    I have no idea how this old video showed up in my new videos, but I must say I found it very entertaining.
    First, I love that mini highbanker. Wish I had a use for it just to get one.
    The pump “we’re ready to go” line cracked me up as we could see the empty lay flat at his feet. I think I made the same mistake of priming the pump first instead of last when I started a looong time ago.
    Doubt anyone will see this comment but I just had to stop in and say how much I enjoyed this video.

    Not sure how I've been prospecting for 2 years without seeing any of Gary's videos - binge watching the whole channel now that I found it.
    Great information in each one, well edited, no BS. Thanks Gary!

    35 years ago I used to occasionally go out on a Saturday or Sunday on my mountain bicycle with a gold pan and a small bottle and spend the day out panning for gold in small streams around Chico, Ca. These are some of the fondest memories of my youth, alone out with nature, cold water and simple exploration. During my 2 years of graduate school I only accumulated a little over half ounce of gold, but the memories are priceless. I use a wheelchair now and could never get to those places where I used to hike and bike, but your videos allow me to vicariously venture out occasionally again🤗
    Thanks for the memories of being out with nature.

    Dang, now that's what I'm talking about... a bunch of color in the pan after a day's work. I mean sure, we all love a day of activity in the wild and fresh air, but coming home with a tiny flake? Far more satisfying to end the day with a pan full of yellow. Nicely done.

      Hey two toes I just started looking at your videos and I thank you for all the tips and secrets to finding gold I'm new at this and I saw a video of you using a medal detector I have an 350 ACE gerret medal detector and was wondering if I can find gold in crevices in between rocks like you did on that one video or does it need to be a fancy one to do that ?

    • @TwoToes
      @TwoToes  6 років тому +2

      If it can handle the mineralization, you might be able to locate lead and iron targets. I don't think it will pick up the small nuggets but if you can find iron and dig out that spot you should be able to pick up some gold.

      @TwoToes  6 років тому +2

      This is one of my first videos. I had plans to weigh the gold when I got home, then put it in the video. I got the weight but totally spaced putting it in the video. Total weight was 2.6 dwt, the large piece was just under one penny weight. Ya, I know everyone weighs in grams, but I can't seem to make the change - old guy thing! Thanks - Gary

    Hey Two Toes! Just discovered your channel. Loving the videos. I was just thinking, if you and ol Jeff Williams got together and prospected you might take over the world :) His geological knowledge and your mining knowledge would be amazing put together. Keep up the great videos! I live near the Sequoia National park (no prospecting there!) but I'm doing some research on places to prospect outside of the park.

    • @TwoToes
      @TwoToes  7 років тому +3

      I learned how to pan for gold on the Tuolumne River about 56 years ago. I don't know where we were on the river. My dad and his friend Bill, my brother and I went down there to fish. After a several days of fishing my brother and I were board of fishing, so Bill taught us how to pan. I still remember the gold we found, I would guess it was around a quarter of a ounce. Not sure how far of a drive that would be for you. I'm sure things may have changed in 50 years, but that is as far south as I have gone looking for gold. Good luck and thanks.

    • @MaceFXE
      @MaceFXE 7 років тому

      Neat story. I would probably end up bored from fishing too, especially since fish aren't near as shiny as gold. I'm still south of Tuolumne. I'm actually south of Fresno. Been doing lots of reading. I guess Merced River, Mariposa County and Fresno River/ San Joaquin River are my nearest hot spots. Should be interesting this summer. :) I'm not too far from Kern county also, might poke around there as well. Hopefully if I find some gold my boyfriend will get as excited about it as I am. ha!

    Thank you for your great vids! I have a 6.5 hp 2" pump on my highbanker. Many times I spend lots of time digging while the pump is running 3/4 throttle and I feel like I'm wasting fuel. Do you see any problem with slowly turning the throttle down for 20-30 minutes while I'm digging, then slowly ramping it up when I send the gravel through? Will that disrupt the eddy currents in the sluice? Thanks again.

    Hey Gary - thanks again for the awesome video. I like that Proline; after my wife forgets about how much I paid for my gold detector, I think I may pick up one of those! Pretty darned sure I know where you were working, as my friend has a claim up in that area. Would be great to meet you down there sometime! We usually head down around the 4th of July for a couple of weeks and then if I can, I sneak away for another, late-Summer/early Fall trip. Best to you!
