  • The gold and platinum nuggets in this video were found in the hills of northern California during many prospecting adventures in many different areas. We take a look as some of these finds and where the gold was found, along with some background into each discovery. Gold is not easy to find by any means, it takes years of dedication and looking in the right places along with a little luck and much hard work to locate finds like these, but sometimes it's purely luck!

    My first time on your channel. Many years ago i got gold fever. I joined gpaa and went a few places. I became a family man and had very little time to look fo gold. Now im 64 and still dont look for gold! I find adventure and joy in seeing others find gold. Thank you for sharing your great times. I think you have understand what the real value of finding gold is. Its the icing on the cake. Best wishes.

    One of the best vids I have seen on this subject. Especially the locations. I have prospected this area for 12 years but quit 20 years ago as my life changed. Now I have time again to get back into it. Sounds like a metal detector is the way to go. I was doing some sniping but did not find anywhere near the size of gold you guys are. But my largest piece interestingly did come from an area out of Georgetown.

    Jerry,
    Nice to hear you recap your early prospecting career. Also, when you warn people it is HARD WORK!!! I think from what I have heard in a lot of these videos, many prospectors want to glamorize finding gold and they just cruise to their favorite spot, grab their pan and find gold. You are being a lot more REAL AND I ADMIRE YOU FOR IT. YOU’RE THE BEST. Much ❤️ Love and keep on pick in’.

We prospect in the US although we're based in the UK, mostly go bushcrafting close to gold bearing old river, so we go crevicing. Our finds have been amazing. ...When Molly found her fist gold nugget she was hooked. I'm mighty proud of her. Many thanks to you ~Wendi

    This makes me homesick for Colona/Lotus, lived at Chile Bar for 8 years and prospected alot of river and creeks nearby all along the South fork American, clear to Salmon falls. found some decent gold the fella who I learned from was privy to the last surviving old timers from the first gold Rush there! Worked church creek on a friend's claim some but I dipped my pan anywhere I could. Sluiced and dredged some too! One day I'll head back to Dalonega Ga. A mere 7 hrs north of where I call home now. Dalonega translates to yellow money in the Cherokee tribes dialect!

    This's one of the best videos that I've ever seen pertaining to prospecting, very well put together. The realism is outstanding. I've been looking for mining partners, but to no prevail. My last partner got hooked on some not so nice stuff, so you know how that ended up. People that say that they really want t on learn just have the drive, let alone them asking every 5 seconds of this or that is gold, it gets on a person's nerves if you know what I mean, plus they dont like the hard work. Anyways I'd like to meet up with you guys sometime, it looks like you guys have an awesome time. Take care l, and good job on the video

    I loved this video. Most refreshing to date. And you really ave the petfect tone in your voice for story telling. I'm in my late fiftys and I still metal detect and search for crystalls which is one of my many hobbies. Coming across a colonial coin or a silver Spanish coin still gives me a great thrill. My uncle and I were very close growing up and he would take me on all kinds of adventures. We prospected on his claim ( also in California), where I found many pickers and one nugget weighing over an ounce. I sold back when gold prices were at an all time high. The rest I have kept as a piece of my childhood. The largest nugget he had found on that property weighed in at 4 ounces! He never found anything that size again in that area and suspects it may have been a drop by past prospectors, as the area was heavily mined back in the early 1900s. It continued to produce flake and picker size gold during his lifetime which he panned into his mid 80's. We also found a small pocket of crystals on his land when I was 12. That search is something I still do two weeks every year. I travel to Arkansas, Carolina or New York crystal hunting for amethysts and Herkimere diamonds. My uncle once took me to Australia for my 14th birthday to stay with a friend of his who had over 600 acres of land in an area that was known for opals and gold. He and his family worked the different parts of land that produced some of the prettiest fire-opals I ever seen. That trip for 3 weeks was when I caught the bug for metal detecting too. Back then in the mid 70s, metal detectors were much different than today's. This friend had some of the highest quality equipment that was available at that time. My AT MAX is much easier to use. We detected for a week in the hill country of that land and looked for opals the other two weeks. We found both gold and opals on that trip and I still have the neckless my uncle had made out the quarter size piece of fire opal that I had found on that trip. I know and completely understand the thrill of the find you talk about. Theres nothing like it when the last of the sand is washed from your pan and the gold is revealed. We travelled all over the world seeking adventure and my uncle gave me some of best memories of my childhood. I continued to visit and pan with him in California until his death in 2008. I miss him still.

Just outside of Plymouth and found a quartz vain where the miners had moved all the overburden. I detected around a bit and long story short got myself a 14 gram nugget. That reef gold you found was a very pretty piece though.

    He told me I should come find him in Georgetown . So naturally I excepted the invite me and the family are headed up there today to relax and do some panning. So I’m doing me (research) and found your channel! Thank you for sharing this was an amazing video and one could only hope to have enough time in life to get out and make this an amazing hobby .

    Nice video Jerry. I hope one day to get out there for a little prospecting vacation. Being from Maine, I would be spoiled with the gold out there. There's gold here but extremely sparse. You get more in a average test pan than most here get in a wknd of hard labor. I enjoy your videos and hope you keep making them.

    That's a lot of really nice looking shiny gold Brother. You are finding some really Awesome gold. One day I would like to do some Prospecting in the wild one day. Right now I'm purchasing paydirt online but I'm learning so much watching everyone's videos. Thank you so much for sharing. You and your family stay safe and healthy Brother. Keep doing what you are doing and have a great and blessed day Brother.

    Loved it....Dreams are just that until you follow where they lead. There will, of course, be some hard and harder life lessons placed before you along the dream path....and I’m certain you suffered through a few...learn those lessons, do not repeat the same mistakes each lesson teaches, and THAT is All Anyone Who “knows”, knows! It’s when we do Not Learn from our mistakes...we become stagnant....and life is passing by as we remain stuck on the hamster wheel......keep on learning, be wise...and BE HAPPY.😇😎🙀🎯🧐😉

    Hey Jerry, really enjoying your videos! I especially like that everything is real, and the events are not staged. Keep up the great work! If you are every in Colorado area let me know, can get you out for some Colorado gold. Not as good as CA gold, but always fun to get out.

    • @dennish1037

    Jeez Jerry, great video as usual and as I always say, I can’t wait until I get back home and maybe put together a trip to some of my favorite places in these same areas. I was a long time Auburn and Placerville resident and currently stuck in Germany. Well, with all that’s going on around the world, and especially here in Europe, things just got put on hold again. Back in the hospital again with some crazy infection in my lungs. Probably mold related, FROM this very hospital! Crazy. If everything works out ok, I’m gonna be in the hospital for another month or so with IV antibiotics twice a day. So until then, I’m gonna have to live vicariously through you and the rest of the guys! Keep up the good work Jerry. Bob in Germany

    Jerry, this is the best gold mining video I have seen!! Great job! So much of your story regarding your mining career are things I've experienced myself, can relate to, or dream of doing one day. I absolutely love your attitude about doing this for the adventure not the value of the gold itself and how you promote this great hobby. Thanks for the inspiration and the great stuff you are creating! Mad respect. -Corey 👊✌️🎥⛏

    • @californiamotherlodeprospect

    Hello Jerry, 1st time commenting. About the first place you shown; Now i know why there's no gold left there....because you were there! Lol, enjoy watching your vids and really like this one. I'm in Sacramento and go to the hills often (weekends) hope to catch you guys one day up there.

    Best gold I’ve ever seen in person in N.Cal. was baseball sized water worn quartz ‘rocks’ strewn with multiple ounces of gold metal detected in the cow pastures in Folsom next to where the old dredges worked back in the day, I saw these at a Gold show in Auburn around 96’ Personally the best I did up there was with my Whites Goldmaster V-Sat detector in one of the old hydraulic pits above Nevada City. This video makes me want to drive up there again and scratch around, but gas prices being what they are these days it’s just not worth driving from Southern to Northern California for a week of recreational prospecting.
