    Good morning !
    Stating the obvious,ancient and modern rivers flowed across all types of bedrock.
    Knowing how to read the signs for bedrock and gravel helps improve your chances of locating were gold might have dropped out or accumulate.
    All your video’s have helped thousands of viewers become better miners!
    You spend so much time filming what you do and why. Thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge with all of us !!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    I think the fascination of the Hydraulic pits is the History behind it plus the fact that so much work was done by the Old Timers there that there must have been extraordinary amounts of Gold there for them to find , and surely they didn't get it all . Another great lesson Gary of how you access an area and what you look for , when in a gold producing area , Thanks for sharing the knowledge . Cheers Ned . 👍✔✌

    I think the H pits are a good idea too- About 30 plus years ago when I lived on the East Fork in the San Gabriel's , my prospector's told me that H pit tailings were one of the best places to detect, dry wash etc, because back in the 1840's oe whenever they were hydraulicing, they only picked out visible pieces of gold from the sluce's, leaving behind massive amounts of small gold. Now, over the decades, a lot or most of it has been gone through but, I still believe you can hit some good gold depending on where you look and how determined you are. If I had the chance to get back out there, I'd be looking for tailing piles myself. Love the H Pit vids Gary!

      They hit areas hard, and grabbed the biggest , most numerous material availible.
      But there's so much earth to sift through, and over millions of years of shifting rivers and erosion, they still only found a few percent of whats out there.
