Can remember bout 35-40 yrs ago camping on the Yuba just across from Indian Valley Outpost bout 10-12 miles west of Downieville with the clampers and watching the guys on the river dredging the riverbanks and tree root areas....
Nice work you guys! You lost Gary while out there? Do you guys carry radios? You really should. I won’t go to my claims now without one. Not after what happened to me. I would strongly recommend that you guys get radios, and carry them. Anything can happen out there. It took over three hours to get help in my case, without one. By then, it was already too late. Be safe guys. I pray that all of you prospect safely and get back to your families safely. Good gold hunting! Take care.
Very entertaining video Jeff and great way to end 2024. Never let anyone give you any guff about eating a Fat Boy ice cream sandwich. I have never seen a better one!
Looks like you fellas had a good New Years Eve day. How is life in the valley these days? I haven't been over there to see relatives in a long time. I am down in Petaluma, over by the coast. Sure would like to go out with you guys one day soon. That would be cool.
That was a great end of the year video. I was on the snow plow today pushing about 8 inches of some kind of freakish ice snow. I had to stab it with my ruler 📏 just to break through to measure it. Speaking of cold, poor old Gary's fingers keep going numb. They are gonna fall off some day and he will be 2 fingers instead of 2 toes. I watched him build a sluice box one time out of a gutter which looked pretty cool actually. Ask him to stop at his local marina and get a couple of handles and mount them to a gold pan. Would that work? Anyways, I'll be following you all in 2025 and by the way, i like it that you guys post your shows on Mondays. A great way to start my week.
@@Smithsgold my grandpa still alive hes 90 I'm going to go see him tomorrow and were going to go to bagby he grew up there would be awesome to meet you some day
😮😮 I don't how yall keep your hands in that cold water I use a pair of cotton gloves and a pair if long arm rubber gloves 😊😊 it does work U can't get water in the gloves or U right back where U started 😮😮from water that cold U have so soak your hands in cold water 2 get the feelings back in your hands ✋️ 😮 again OMG 1 6 2O25

Ice Cream is comfort food. The less gold you find the more ice cream you NEED.

Good morning Action News 49 !

Digging the truth up

July we have the North Yuba Nugget Hunt on hwy 49 just above Downieville that's the best shot at going out with us

Good Idea I'll have to let him know !!!!!! Thanks
One of those chickens looks a little funny. I never seen a chicken with a flat beak and webbed feet.😅 Happy new year
he escaped from the pen and I just left him out with the chickens !!!! LOL
havent had time to go look for gold. working. a lot. ,12 hr days. ,6am. to like 5 or 6pm at night. for a temp agency. have a good day.
I know that feeling, but those nuggets will be there when you get back !!!!
Jeff is going to have to trick Gary one of these times by bringing a picker along to get the first gold.
you got to earn that Ice Cream makes them taste even better !!!!
kudo's for nugget hunting in the sierra's the 1st week of January. btw, one of your chickens could be a duck impersonating a chicken. :)
LOL !!!! I'll have to check on that !!!!!! Thanks for watching
@@Smithsgold 0:43 - it must be species confused. Probably flew up from Hollywood. hasn't had the webbed feet surgery yet.
Good morning ,not a bad at all to end 2024,but here's to a better 2025!!! Thanks jeff for bringing us along!!🇺🇲
Anytime for you !!!!!! Hope your doing good I just love our LBPA Group chats !!!!! LOL
Their is always golden nuggets in those ice creams.
Thanks for watching !!!!!! Hope you have a Good Day
Im sure it’s little harder finding gold in that cold weather. Anything below 60 is too cold for me.
River is High and Cold makes for a bit harder locating those Nuggets !!!
You all did well, and you take good care of Gary! Did he need the battery? I can't say a thing...I had a battery deficit in AZ!
Not on this trip he was good
Last day of the year gold with next day ice cream, are you attempting to bamboozle us?
LOL !!!! I should have gotten two because I went out New Years morning and Got Gold before we did the weigh in !!!!
Where yall get those gold picks with the magnet on them?
we made them
Goodmorning!! 🤘🏻
Good Morning !!!!!!!!!
Hi guys this is Bobby Roode had knee surgery on December 10th and I'm on the mend but I should be back on the prospecting this summer
I'm beginning to think Jeff just goes to get ice cream. I don't think he cares about finding gold.
I like them Both !!!!!!!
Do you guys ever get around Hoyts Crossing
How do you get the permit to high bank?please tell me
Thanks for watching Happy New Year
