    Dam that’s crazy. How awesome is that. Finding gold that they left. They didn’t do a good job cleaning the dredge before they left and you found it. That’s awesome. I hope there is a video of you guys running the rest of the material from you cleaning the dredge up. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

    W-O-W, how many times have I dreamed about doing that very same thing on so many of the dredges. 2 of my friends came up there cause the guy was born in AK so they rode motorcycles up & made a big trip of it from southwest Arkansas. Huge trip but they saw dredges & I thought they maybe toured one but not sure about that. Are any open to the public as historic sites??? I enjoy your videos & watching you & Gary Simpson work together. I know every one has bills but I hope ya'll get to put some gold back. Now I gotta look through all your videos & see if I can find a follow up to this. Lol. Another great video, it's like a good book, you can't stop till you know what happens. Good luck with all your work, it's the thrill of the chase but that yeller gold shor' is a pretty site.

    Which means someone left it there after
