Gary...I sure enjoy your logical, forensic approach to locating the gold. You seem to be able to unravel a creek's story like reading a mystery novel. It's always a pleasure. Thanks for the great video.
Love the beauty of the place you went to! I especially love the leopard lilies! That's what I love about Hunter creek too! The beauty of nature---big leaf maples, oaks, crimson columbine, mountain misery, giant ferns and leopard lilies. The Motherlode has so much more than gold to offer the adventurer!
Thanks for the little tease of gold, but moreover thanks for sharing the wonders of it all!!!
That was a problem I had, staying in a hole to long and getting minimal results. This is a very informative video and thank you for it. 🇺🇸👍😎⛏
Me too
@@jdmcarandmotorcycle lessons learned the hard way. Lol
I had a girlfriend like that once, in my younger days...lol!
@@southernoregonprospector9074 oh yeah I know that girl
@@southernoregonprospector9074 ya i kno that girl too
Thourow sampling of a new area, and some color ..awesome 😎
Thanks for taken us along....such beauty great....thats the size Gold we fined in Lynx Creek here in AZ...but just like your area it is just so darn beautiful that it just fun gettin out. Again thanks for taken us along.
Gary you make the best videos, the scenery is always awesome, I would love to get up to the High Sierras and try prospecting, I’ve watched your videos for years now and although I’ve never done any prospecting I feel like I could do a pretty good job based on what you’ve taught me, thanks for the great educational videos keep em coming 👍
Best take-away message at the end Gary. I could not agree with you more!
A beautiful day. A beautiful creek. A little gold. I love it!
Good job Gary, it was great to meet you at the nugget hunt.
That was a fun day!
What a beautiful spot that waters crystal clear
You are the very best. So many channels just show the mechanics of mining, which is interesting. But I love how you show a perspective of the prospecting that is specific to whatever the conditions are where you're looking. For a newbie like me, this is fascinating, and instructional. I'm primarilly a fly fisherman who carries a little pan and a few hand tools when I'm spending the whole day traipsing up and down rivers in gold country (In general, N Idaho is not near the gold country that you have in the Sierras, but there's some here!) I'm used to "reading the water" for trout, but now there is this whole new "reading" of the hydrology, rocks, river conditions, (and the researching of claim acivity as a new winter sport) etc which deepens my experience up on the river. I'm so glad you do these videos!
Hello Gary. Your so right, that is beautiful country and just being there can lift your spirit. Thanks Gary for your effort in creating another wonderful video.
That's a beautiful Creek with lots of bedrock
Probably loaded with big nuggets !!!!!
@@Smithsgold I would definitely bring a detector back
I will point down the cliff, (I mean the gentle hill) to the spot for you. lol
Hey Gary,
The real treasure here is the beauty of
Nature. I am thankful that I get to see
Your videos. I am hamstrung as my
Wife's caregiver but would be out there
If I could. At 69 I still have good physical
Strength and would love to be out there
Thanks,
Guy in Eugene, Or
That shot of the tiger lily's was great Gary thanks for doing what you do
Thanks for sharing more prospecting techniques with detailed information
Super good advice on panning a new random creek
.12 of a gram plus a beautiful new area equals a fantastic day of fun
Thanks for another great video Gary
You can alway use my lucky scoop your holding onto for me !!
it kills the Boot Tacks !!!!!!
Beautiful day, beautiful country and some gold. Doesn’t get any better than that.
Great video Gary!!!
I finally saw first hand what you mean when you say "hard packed gravel " it takes a bit but finally learning 😁
Love you brother. Thanks for the adventures.
That was a long hike Garry, I think I saw your mustache growing. Great share I really loved it.
LOL
Great video, enjoyed watching you work the creek and learned from how you did it!
Greetings Gary. I see you wearing a Marines cap and occasionally a sweatshirt. Are you Corps? If so, we are brothers. I was in the Corps 1967-1973. Old timer. I have hunted gold around Dahlonega, Georgia but found very little. That was the big strike before the California strike. Great videos. I enjoy them very much. At 73, I am no longer able to chase the pickers and flakes, but I enjoy watching you. Semper Fi
Stunning Country Gary! The Tiger Lily and Alder were beautiful! Very helpful well filmed professional and magnificent Sierras!
Hi Gary, I see your hat so we are brothers, I'm Navy. I just moved to Paradise, CA. 3.5 miles from whare the Dog Town Night was found. 54 pounds! I have a Dues II on order so I hope to find gold and silver. Good luck.
where was Jeff, look like he missed a good time, and maybe by a stroke of luck he could have beat you. Really enjoyed the video, thanks Gary.
I know the one day I could have beat him and I'm nowhere to be found !!!
Great video. I really liked the nature shots you added.
Thanks Gary -that was a lovely location-the butterfly and Turks cap lilies are really pretty.
Yes that hillside looked steep ! Good common sense info and advice on what to look for and experience info too. Beautiful country to be out in, you are blessed to be able to roam it 😉
Another great back to basics vid. Something very special out your way in all those landscapes. And you appreciate it that much more when you know the history. Be well Gary.
Good bits of gold there. See ya on the next one!
Thank you! Really enjoyed as always 💕
Thanks for another video.
Awesome video with great info. Always fun to watch.
Good morning
Quality information from the Professor......thank you for sharing 🤝🍻!
Your videos are great! If you were to come out east you'd see really small gold, what you got there we call nuggets!! 😆
Your right it really is a beautiful place. That's not really very small gold compared to flour. If you sluice it it would build up.😉👍
Finding gold is just the bonus to a picture perfect day, I guess the only way it would have been better is if Jeff was there too. It is always a pleasure to watch your channel…take care Gary 👍
Thanks, Gary--good, informative video, pretty country!
It was a beautiful spot great video
Jeff must be off fishin'. Very informative, as usual, with good tips on what to look for. Gotta love the high sierras. ⛏💰🇺🇸👍
Always have fun fam. Keep getting that au fam. Gold squad out!!!
I really enjoy your videos !
That's a steep hill sir. Until one scrambles through the brambles to scratch that barren gravel, it's difficult to fully appreciate.
Great vids, I always take the time to watch and learn, have applied your experience and skill to many gold bearing rivers here in new zealand 🇳🇿
A beautiful day out 🍻
That crane system in the introduction is so freaking awesome! We broke our rock pullers sprocket 3 times trying to get a sheet of bedrock out the other weekend that looked like it would be a time saver. Thanks for the awesome videos good luck out there.
With no dredging, its home to a lot of spiders right now.
A day out in the fresh air still beats a day under a sink fixing a leaky drain. ✌
I have watched many many hours and love it. I've always wanted a metal detector but now have bad knees so that's probably one bucket list item that won't come to pass. The only thing I wish you would do is number each episode (video). Otherwise, great videos and I have learned so much! Thank you.
That bedrock sure looks good in the video. Too bad there wasn't a bunch of half ounce nuggets for you!
Good job showing and telling, keep updating see ya on the next one have a great day.
Great to see how a master does it. Thanks for sharing 👍
First !!!!!! Now to haul hay !!!!!
Sorry, Jeff. You can't claim FIRST...You're Two Toes affiliated.
Fair enough !!!!!! Now I have hay to haul !!!! I’m just glad it’s not 103 yet like yesterday
Gold is where you find it… To Levi’s it was pants … others it’s Soybeans & Hay!!!
Maybe the gold the Oldtimers mined was an old chanel somewhere on the slope or even topside, rather than the creeks on either side?
But it sure is a beauty spot, worth spending the day. Cheers for the nice video! Pleasure to watch, as always.
I agree with you that the creek was beautiful. I would of enjoyed my day without finding gold too.
I love the scenery up there! Me and my mining buds are heading up there for a little camping in the next couple days and hope to get a picker each lol. Heavy pans and thank you for the awesome videos! If we see ya, we'll holler again :)
wow what a great hobby
You weren’t whistling Dixie! That is a perty creek, great way to spend the day 👍🏻
Awesome another vid. Been hoping for more👍🏾
Great vid!!! Awesome job
No knee pads, your a tough dude!
Thanks Gary, lucky for Jeff you didn't find much. But Im wondering how it would go if a person thru a sluice in yhe creek and started filling bucketd. Would make for a nice day amd you just might find a little pile of shiney. Jeff's turn next...
"Yeller Gold"
It would be interesting to see how you would do with your SDC on that creek and hill side. That mining camp was there for a reason. Great vid as usual. Great meeting you at the Hunt.
As always great video!
Good tips👍Camera don't do justice to cliffs or drops just multiply by 3 😁🤠⚒ really really fine...shows small flakes and Wisconsin pickers😂😆😂😆
Man, I love your videos ❤️ beautiful nature
Thanks. More info, more knowledge.
I got a pretty good chuckle when you said you had “a lot of really fine gold” the showed the pan.
Here in western Washington we call that big gold. Those pieces were darned near pickers when compared to the fly poop we typically find.
Enjoyed thanks for the video!👍🇺🇸
Clean up sluice running... watching a two toes video. Good day to be a Californian
Great lesson cheers
Remember, "any gold is good gold" 😉
Man oh man-I got to get out of Concord and go for a ride
it will take you long while to get back up the steep hill side. how do you check with the state of Cal. where you can pan for gold, approved excess? thanks for the great videos.
👍
It could just be me but I think I know what creek you were at, or at least in the vicinity of.
Lol! Your fine gold looks like pickers around here.
You got a lot of bedrock in your area.
Ive been checking out my local streams and rivers. I live in San Joaquin county I've tried the Mokulume river consumers River some of the American River even the Stanislaus not a whole lot of luck. First time I ever went panning was the yuba River and that's been the best I've ever seen. Any suggestions?
tx
Can’t wait to get beck out there, see you soon brother. 🤙✌️
Two more days and I will be working on my fog tan. lol
@@TwoToes hey I just remembered did you get a chance to round me up three sets of your tools we talked about at Tim’s outin.
@@danlonganecker I will now! lol
@@TwoToes thank you brother I appreciate it greatly. 👍
gotta get a gold monster. (light weight vlf). was checking out the new gpx 6000 at keen engineering. real light but $6,000. just a thought on the gold monster. have a good day.
Gary, I hope you are carrying an InReach satellite unit when you are solo hiking way off the beaten path like you do !!! If you break a leg deep down in those narrow steep canyons and you immediately go on the Mountain Lion and Bear menue!!!
Thanks for all your hard work putting together the Great videos and sharing the knowledge!!!! All the best.., And Yes in deed!!!! it is truly beautiful country up there! May favorite place to go .., can’t wait to be back up there myself! Especially these days with the pandemic craziness still going on 24X7 !!!! The only place left that you can go these days and know… the only ones you’ll be seeing waring masks are the Raccoons!!!
I recently noticed a small creek in a burned out area with stacks of rocks about every 200 feet, so I'm assuming the old timers were finding some good material. Going to check it out next weekend, any tips for specific areas I should look at while there?
Two Toes Knows where the gold goes.
When you are out looking for new spots, what do you use to make sure the area isnt claimed?
Keep a eye out for signs and markers.
Is it possible river changed direction or area?
1/8 of a gram. Woohoo!
Hi Gary I live in Myers California and I got a river that runs through my property. I found small flood gold with my gold pan, what metal detectors do u recommend for flood gold.
Flood gold is to small for a detector to pick up. You can use the detector to find iron and lead, they are heavy and will travel with the gold.
@@TwoToes Thank you Gary for the great advise, like always keep those amazing videos coming.👍And find more gold than your buddy Jeff.
I wonder if you sniped some underwater pockets you might have found something the old timers missed...
Anther great clip Gary. I keep meaning to ask how long would it take for the average hike in? Mostly in Time and distance in a ballpark figure. Cheers and Beers from Down Under. 😀
@Darren
From where I park a two mile hike too the river is my limit ,same California gold Gary hunts .
However 🤔🤔🤔
Once on the river look’n around 🙃 it can add up quick and before ya know it the sun has passed over and ya have walked many more miles up and down the river and now at the end of the day ? 💩 It’s uphill all the way back ?
Then I sit and rest in the truck while sucking on my oxygen bottle 🙃 and smile in thoughts of what a Great Frkn Day !!!
Some call it Love of the natural beauty of our forest and some call it Gold Fever and some say I’m just 🦇💩🤪
Pick ur reason and enjoy 😊
✌️
I try to keep the hikes under 2 hours, but most of the time I can get out in about a hour.
@@TwoToes oh it is beautiful hike one or two hours and same time go to back !!!
A bit off topic, but is that Butte/Plumas fire encroaching on your gold hunting turf?
Not yet!
What creek is this?
thats a average day for me .12
Wents your next fishing trip?
In the fall
Whatever happened w/that spot from last yr where you were finding good gold all along an embankment?
Brush took it over.
@@TwoToes bummer, I'll sell you a chainsaw :D
Mr. Honan, you're lookin like you've reversed aging quite a few years! Or has all that gold bought you the fountain of youth?
Would you like to be a guest on the gold Fever radio show?
Ah wasn't that 12 hundredths of a gram?
I don’t know how you do it? I’m 70 and I barely make it out of my recliner..
I’m pushing him to beat me in the yearly gold total !!!!!!
@Smithsgold
He does seem to always find more gold when ur around 🙃
✌️
@@ancientbedrock9366 I was thinking the same thing !!!!
