Gold Prospecting in The Sierra Nevada Mountains. Found Gold!
I finally got back out to my roots and started river prospecting again. I loved being back out there for two days. I will be doing this as much as I can until the weather screws me. Like, comment, and subscribe if you like adventure.

We went out for an overnight to explore a remote location. We found some cool spots for future videos. I will be doing some rock-hounding in this area soon. Stay tuned for more gold videos coming soon.

I was shown a location recently and plan on doing some gold detecting around the area. This is part one of me doing exactly that. This day was cut short, so I went and explored some other locations, but I will be back with an entire video in this location.
My first big gold outing in a long time. I need help identifying massive piles of rocks.

This video is my first big prospecting trip in a few years. I have spent those years scouting and searching for a new area to prospect, and now I have one. I ask for comments about some of the things I found in the area, so if you know what kind of operation was there, please let me know with a comment.
Playing Tourist In San Fransisco

This is a new type of video I am going to start doing on my channel. I figured since I go to a lot of cool cities I should actually play tourist and see the sights. I want to bring a raw feel to the cities I visit and show viewers what a place is like. I've played tourist in many cities and a couple countries over the years, but now I'll be documenting them for your viewing pleasure.

Started in Reno, but got sick of the filth in the river, so I went to Lake Tahoe to do some water detecting. I was not disappointed!

I went out on another hunt for gold. I didn't think the weather would be an issue in the middle of June. This video could have been a fantastic couple of days in the high country, but Mother Nature had other plans.

We finally made it out to do some prospecting. We wanted to hit a spot so remote nobody could get to it for the last decade. We took a truck and a cheap chainsaw into the backcountry of California to try our luck in a very dangerous area.

    Been there and done that! Next time, bring a metal rake and scape off the top two or three inches in a 3x3' sample area. And of course look for bedrock. I like your vids because you tell a story and you have fun. I predict that, soon, you will not only find a nug but you get a Chinese coin!!!!

    Incredible video, Foolish Prospecting. Looking forward to seeing your next upload from you. I hit the thumbs up icon on your creation. Keep up the fantastic work!

    Angular rock probably came from a hard rock mine. I think you should check out some Two Toes vids. He has many videos on info to be successful on hydraulic pits. The river rocks came from hydraulic mining. Another thing to be careful about, besides Yogi Bear, is that California has some serious laws regarding relics in their parks. Assholes!!!

    • @Foolishprospecting
      @Foolishprospecting หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ok, thanks for the insights. I've seen quite a few of Two toes videos but need to revisit them. So that round rock is hydraulic, and that one area i thought was an old mine was an old mine?

    Dim Sum is in my top 5 food groups. Have eaten at the Red Bloom at Atlantis...disappointment for sure. One of my favorites is in Victoria, BC. Very close to the quality in SF. That whole meal you had used to cost about $25. Again, great vid and commentary Mr Stevie.

    • @Foolishprospecting

    Yo Stevie. Thanks for the vid. The "coin to junk" ratio was encouraging. I have to say that I miss the Burning Man vids. It's depressing to see all of the crap that the asswipes leave but people need to know what the asswipes are really like. Keep up the good work.
