    Cool toons when you cleaned the sliuce!,I was expecting dancers in parachute pants with a boom box on there shoulder to jump out😀 I have forgotten to check outside bends,You may have scored us alot of gold.

      I forgot my MC Hammer pants 🤣. Lol but outside corners can be amazing gold traps depending on the corner degree. I have a few 180 switchback spots that are very easy to work and provide great gold . I like the outsides because you have a very good chance most walked rite by it "following rules of thumb" best of luck and I hope to see a video on it soon 😁👍🏻

      The fall colors are the last bit of beauty for this area for many months. The bitter cold sub freezing temperatures are around the corner and soon there will be blankets of snow and ice covering the hillsides. With any luck from the gold gods I will get this foot injury behind me and be able to get not only back on the nugget narrows spot but get back onto better ground and better winter weather of the west coast. Thanks for stopping in I'm sorry the videos haven't been better I'm doing my best to get out and do whatever I'm able to.

      The weather is outstanding for the area at this time of year "figures" sense I have some nuggets to get and cant get to them lol. The farmers almanac says we are in for the worst winter in 40 years there comparing it to the blizzard of 78' I'm praying that's not the case but this "calm" weather for the area isn't a good sign for later in the season. The old saying goes 'red skys at nite sailors delight , red skys in morning sailors take warning '. That's going to apply in a larger scale for snowfall. But your rite on about me being unstoppable lol but I'd rather go out one legged then in one foot of snow!!!!! So let's hope I get walking before it gets to cold lol. We have a small dredge party on Thanksgiving morning in a neighboring private valley to goldrush area planned for myself, NGP, MojoGoldWolf, golden dabber, American Gold prospectors and Alex Au ! So that's something I'm very much looking forward to. Last year it was -14 degrees when Kevin and John went out on Thanksgiving lmao it better not be that cold this year.

    • @GramCanyonSam
      @GramCanyonSam  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well there all on bedrock 😁 it just matters how deep the bar is. But there will be flood strata's that will hold gold from different floods. Typically the larger ones are more likely to have a very old river bed deposit near the bottom. Getting to it is the hard part

      Gravel bars are my least favorite to work. I'm interested in what's on the bottom of them. But in a pinch it's not bad to mess around. We have worked that entire section of river for a few years its consistently good year to year. But the name of the game is move ground when it comes to gravel bars and theres large boulders about 3 feet down and I cant get them out rite now with my foot I'm already pushing the envelope.....😁😆👍🏻⛏

      @@GramCanyonSam It's probably everyone's least favorite in rivers that big. But like you, I don't shy away from a hard work day. Your hands are like mine too. I got creative and figured how to secure a "come along" hand winch off my broken Pick-up truck, made a net with small Home Depot chain and attach the cable to the chain web. Dig around big rocks position it low, the rock will fall into the chain web. You can wrap a chain with a short chain spare and padlock the winch to trees. If someone goes through the efforts to steal it and get it, they deserve it. But nobody has done that to me yet, it's always there when I go back. You need a few small pulleys to go around corners sometimes, but you will be surprised what you can move by yourself.
