- The rain has stopped long enough for me to head to the hill and spend a day looking for gold and treasures.

Another great video Gary! I certainly appreciate the professionalism that you showed while working around that baby pine tree instead of just tearing it out. Very well done! You're a true pro prospector!
Got to keep the woods in good condition for my grandkids! Thank you - Gary
Love the cans brings back memories.
I saw a bit of Cali jade during the black sand showing. Or serpentine. I just know there's precious jade SOMEWHERE in Cali! I totally enjoy the videos! I live in Klamath Oregon so I suppose we're neighbors!
Beautiful country! Looking foward to your videos this summer.
Those were fence pliers you found Gary. Really enjoy your videos.
Thanks for taking us along Gary, always great fun watching the way you command the poison oak. Looking forward to this years videos . Did the Orville dam issue create any gold hunting opportunity's down there for you. Thanks
No, anything to do with the dam is state and they won't let you do any mining at all! Thanks - Gary
Always very interesting Gary, I enjoyed that thankyou. Jimmy.
Thank you!
Great vid Gary I truly enjoy the time and effort you put in to making them !!! This fellow enjoys your trips till the next vid !!! well done Gary !!!
Thank you!
Hello and thank you for the great videos. I use to live in Chico and fight fires there in your neck of the woods. I can tell you I am aware of how rough brushy and steep that area is. I have since moved to Idaho but still enjoy watching your videos. Thanks again and good luck in your adventures this year.
Thank you very much!
Been enjoying your videos here in Iowa winter wonderland. I’m with ya on cabin fever. I think the plier tool is a horse shoe pliers. The broken jaw would have been a curved jaw with serrations to grip and cinch horse shoe nails. It also has a small hammer head.
Nice natura, nice advanture, a litle gold. Not bad. Thanks buddy for your video.
Salute from Turkey.
Thank you.
Wealth of info Gary, am a total new bee to gold treasure hunting, sounds like read up on area as well.same methods should apply to new Zealand's rivers I hope.
I don't know why but finding relics hunting these days does little for me. I know a few places of unlisted mines with cabins I'm sure collapsed by now i know are loaded with stuff. One in particular had a 10ga shotgun still parked behind the front and only door and gold pans protected with bear grease with bits of fur still in it in an old round hat box and all handmade furniture included a twinish size bed full of straw wrapped with ship canvas, but, that was in 71' and dry as a bone inside. I went back there last week after 3 days of brush busting to find it, the cabins still there but a tree has fallen on it, still full of stuff mostly rotten now from the rain and snow. One odd thing I did find there with a blue box Whites was a 40mm Bofors HE round in the split rail corral of 20x20' or so around 76'.
Hey Gary I have seen all your gold mining videos and love them would you mind posting a few more crevicing and sniping videos they are very fun to watch and you learn a lot. Keep up the great work and have a great day.
When I get back from my fishing trip, I plan to do a lot of sniping and crevicing with a metal detector until the cold runs me out of the river. Thank - Gary
I really like that old shotgun shell. I have an old double hammer 12 gauge that probably used those.
It's always a pleasure watching your videos . That looks really steep in there .
Most of it was very steep the rest was stupid steep! The good news - you couldn't fall because the brush was so thick! And to show you how smart I am, I have plans to go back. Thank you very much!
Great can't wait to see the next video . Also I like the change in the intro.
Awesome treasure hunt.....always great to get out in the woods....👍👍😀😀✌
watching that just makes me want to get back out west to my favourite creek , last time I went I only panned about 0.01 grams and a lot of black sand but the day was beautiful like yours, and that was gold anyway , but I took the black sand ,about 3 pound, crushed it up with a mortar and pestle ,took out the magnetite with a magnet, soaked it in water and borax for about 4 days ,and panned it out 1 tablespoon at a time ,and low and behold ,first tablespoon 18 micron pieces of gold , at least the size of a grain of salt , and much the same everyone after that ,so something to do in your down time when you cant get out ,that's getting really desperate hey , ha ha, your beer cans were awesome ,I wish I could find em like that ,anyway good to catch up on what your doing ,cheers , from down under.
For me , its more about the looking than the finding! Any day in the mountains is a great day. Thanks - Gary
Thanks Two Toes! Just a fine little early season workout!
Thank you.
Farriers pliers. One of the pincers is broken off. My pair - the pincer pair are curved so the farrier could grip something and then rock back to remove it (like a nail or part of the hoof)
Looking forward to your next adventure thanks
Another winner! Thank you!
Thank you!
Nice vid, here in Tuolumne county the poison oaks is abundant and growing out of control, it make's it a little tough to find a area to hunt now.
Same here! Need a weed eater to go detecting. Thanks - Gary
you have the exact same computer as me haha 18:25. a sign of good luck for a new prospecter
Great mines think alike! Thank - Gary
Glad you're back.
You get gold every time. Great job. I assume you didnt even have to pan very much to get that amount.
Always an interesting video from you. Many thanks from down under.
Thank you.
Bonito bosque.
Un saludo, amigo.
Thank you
Thanks for the vid. That black sand would be an absolute nightmare, so much of it!
I am thinking about taking my small highbanker to that spot and running several buckets threw it. I'm curious to see what I would end up with. Thanks - Gary
sounds like a good idea, feel free to let us know how you go of you do ... thanks
Two Toes - I'd love to make that trip with you! Send me a message give me a week or two notice and I'll be there to help carry the load. I'm in northern Arizona.
I really enjoy your videos and hope you plan on many more this year.
Thank you, looks like the weather is breaking - spring is here! Now if I can get some free time, its off to the hills and more videos!
Great stuff sir!
thats some great country⛏👍
wonderful videos good info for a beginner
Not much gold mate that's brilliant gold that amount would make my year great video Gary keep I'm coming mate cheers from
Australia and you need to get out more ha ha
Thanks
Hey two toes, I like your videos man and your "Been Gettin' Any Lately- Mendocino Coast" t-shirt. Hey, I was wondering if you ever hunted along the 96 on the Klamath River? Or just the Sierras?
I have never gone that high, a little north west of Redding is as far as I have gone in that direction. Thanks - Gary
SQUARE NAILS & BRASS SHOTGUN SHELLS >> The square were made up to the 1890's, any square nail You find out there will be .... The Brass shotgun shells were made in the middle to late 1860's all the way up to the 1890's .....cheers
excellent, thank you ,Gary,
Thank you.
coblers pliers or upholsteres pliers , to tack soles to shoes or to streatch fabric and tack in place
I live in this area up off Yankee hill rd. Do you own a mining supplies place in Oroville?
Love those old beer cans
your pliers were used as fence tool
You said your eyes weren't good enough to read the back of the shot gun shell, so that leads me to the question of the same problem I have, how do you solve the problem of seeing small gold through your mask when crevicing under water?
When looking threw water, objects appear 33% larger. That helps a bunch as you get older and your eyes change.
@@TwoToes thanks I am almost 50 and have a hard time see when sniping I'm thinking about getting a prescription mask. Thanks.
My old mining partner had to have his prescription ground into his mask, it worked very well.
im thinking nail clinchers that someone might use on horse hooves. since its broke off cant tell for sure
Hey Two Two's, thanks for your advise earlier on which metal detector to buy for small nuggets. I am waiting on it to arrive now. I just started my own channel and will post videos of some of my attempts on finding gold in North Georgia. Please let me know if I am doing right. LOL.
Good luck - hope you find all kinds of gold and treasures.
I ended up buying the Garrett AT Gold after lots of research and on your advise of getting something at 18 khz or better. I wanted something that was fully waterproof so I could search the river bedrock and not have to worry about submerging it and Garrett had the only water proof one out there at 18khz. Anyway thanks again and I will post lots of videos when I get some more made. I will include my shot at underwater sniping that I learned from you so when you see it school me on what I was doing wrong. LOL. Enjoy the warmer months ahead and I look forward to more of your videos.
Yeah good stuff! good now were getting some sun here in ole california!
Lucky Lager , good Canadian Beer .
The pliers I believe are a for shoeing horses .
the pliers i think where for horse showing
Good call of the pliers, I do believe Mr. Crabtree is right!
How did the name two Toes with the mountain goat come about? Is it because of a cloven hoof? Or cause you climb like a goat? Respectfully an Old Goat! Lol. I envy where you live, really do. Im in the southland still clocking in for a living but looking forward to retirement so I can get out and do what I want to do. Take care, really enjoy your videos.
You have the climb like a goat right! The site was setup originally by my son as a 4 wheel drive rock climbing site. You see his Jeep at the beginning of each video. Last year he was blessed with twin girls, he has been kinda busy! He talked me into making prospecting video and putting the on the site - the rest is history. Lol I'm still doing that clocking in thing myself. Thanks for the support - Gary
How much longer till you no longer have to clock in? I have a few more years, 5 tops and maybe not even that! Depends on a few items. You must not be too far from Gridley, I had an Aunt and Uncle there, Jim Childress, he use to run a Radiator shop there. This was many years ago. Take Care..Dan
I have plans to work as long as I enjoy it. I plan to cut back to 4 days work and 3 days play in 3 or 4 years. I am about 4 miles from Gridley. Thanks - Gary
Two Toes
just found your sight. thanks for letting others know that or what hunting for gold is really about. I like your way of helping all of us, the new guy s and some not so new.you don't talk down to others and that's so unlike people today.
thanks your on my go to place. I like learning and you do that so we'll thanks again. Harry w.
I'm not to far from you,I'm up in magalia.
The pliers appear to be from a shoemaker used to pull leather and nail tacks
Just caught your hat, Semper Fi Marine
Two sons - Marine's all the way!
As always, great video! Have you ever found gold coins metal detecting those old camps?
About 5 years ago I found a 1854 - 2 1/2 dollar gold coin. I was detecting a flat spot in a very good gold area. I came home with a 1850's dime and half dime also. I have found about a dozen Chinese coins in this area over a couple of years. Thanks - Gary
Tin Can Productions fencing pliers.
Those are upholstery pliers I have several pair.
Would you show how you clean up th gold
Great vid.
gday from oz seen something like that maybe a musket ball mould ,the hammer maybe for tapping out the ball.
I think Daryl has got it - leather pliers. Thanks - Gary
Everything I'm about, hello from Mokelumne Hill
Great gold country, lots of history in your area! Thanks - Gary
Love your videos man
Thanks!
What’s a hot rock?
hi I DIG .. your videos. So I believe I have the real stuff just very fine. Not ending up at the bottom of the pan . I dnt think I'm panning
right. thanks again.
Wheres your pin pointer ?
thankyou i enjoyed it
Every thing adds to the pile
I've been really enjoying your videos, I subscribed. Thanks very much for all your effort! Started my own channel recently, "GTAO Vlogs" is the name, after being inspired by you and a handful of others. I like your explanations and straight forward style. Very nice work and thanks again! Cheers
Good luck on the channel, I will be checking it out. Thanks - Gary
You are a stand up guy Gary, Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving 2017! Aaron
I belive those are cobblers pliers
PS the pliers are cobblers pliers the hammer part for knocking in the small segs in my grandad had them for fixing the kids foot wear cheers from Auss
That is what I think they are. Thanks - Gary
I tried to make it up to a claim last weekend But the snow was 3 to 4 feet still up where the claim is so No Go lol and the creeks are raging.
yep, its going to be awhile.
Got any tips on someone starting out in prospecting?
Just go out and enjoy! We all were new once. The knowledge will come with the experience. Thanks - Gary
They look a bit like hand rivets to join a sluice box
went placer mining today (Mother's Day) Water level to high for my liking. Recorded todays CFS levels for future reference.
That's good thinking. Once you get it figured out, will save you a lot of time.
soak your rusty stuff in a bucket of transmission fluid for a year. Or harbor freight has some rust removing stuff that works.
Thanks - Gary
Great job Gary (y)
Thanks.
Possibly farrier pliers
WERE DEALING W THE SAME ...CRAPPY WEATHER HERE IN IDAHO
Old timers: “Get Gold, Get Gold, Get Gold”
Modern miners: “Get their trash”
Those are shoe cobbler pliers. Google " shoe cobbler pliers", they look the same.
Finding 22 bullets is a lot! What's the most you've ever found?
I know I have found more in a day, than I can hold in one hand. Don't know how many that is tho - A lot!

coblers pliers
Nice video buddy, I know what your talking about with the damn cabin fever...
I can send you pix of one of these tools just taken of one in my workshop. It is stamped in three lines: " R.Trimmings & Sons, 3 Warranted , Steel Hammer." Give me an email address and I will send them to you. Jerry
