    Is it possible for you to do a video about reading a small creek (really small, able to cross most places in the fall without getting wet) in one of your videos? I had a claim on and off for over 30 years, and very seldom could I find flood gold, but 10 grain on up to 5 penny weight nuggets were common. Mind you, over 30 years it became harder and harder to find any gold, but the first 5 years was a sniper’s paradise. I guess my point is educating people not to overlook those small creeks.

    Great Video as always! Dollars to Donuts, if You and Jeff go pay Albert Fausel a visit at the Placerville Hardware. He'll want you for his 2024 Placerville Hardware trading card set. Old town grill across the street has some good food too.🤙
