    Gold is cool but the adventure you take us on is way cooler. You take us on magnificent journeys to places most of us will never get to, sharing a great mix of adventure, joys & success, sometimes physical & mental exhaustion. Keeping it real & sharing emotions sometimes makes us your audience more connected.

    In California we find larger deposits when the gorges narrows and get very steep. We use all the other indicators that you are using. Crumbling bedrock is the best gold catch.
    I have an unorthodox miner friend who will check the last place you would ever look and successfully find nuggets when she is getting skunked. She may be a gold magnet.
    Love your videos for the gold, the spectacular settings and your excitement when you are on a streak. May you find huge nuggets on your next outing!

    • @officialtassieboysprospecting

    • @guillermodelnoche
      @guillermodelnoche 2 года назад

      @@officialtassieboysprospecting it’s always a mix. I’m willing to move large boulders (as much as possible) but what we look for is high sides of exposed bedrock on the hillside with the degraded bedrock cracks running perpendicular to the water flow in the actual water. It’s the perfect river riffle that traps the largest gold pockets. I have also seen people pull a quarter ounce of placer flakes out of moss on bedrock. They rinse the bottom of the chunks of moss in a bucket and pan the material. Love your videos and hope this helped a bit! Cheers!

      @@officialtassieboysprospecting Most of the bedrock I saw in this video was running parallel to the river which is 90 degrees from the ideal direction. However, any crack with hard packed gravel should have yielded some gold unless this river was never very rich in the first place. The coarsest gold may be able to drop out in the gut of the river where smaller pieces will get blown through.

    I gotta say Levi you gave that river a whole lot more mileage than I would have. With next-to-zero washdown at early dips with the geology the way it is I wouldn't expect any difference 8 miles upstream. However, since this is channel documentation as well you kinda do have to show the bad along with the good in order to impress upon the armchair prospectors out here it isn't always unicorns, rainbows and a pot of gold at the end. More the reality is red ink at the end, speaking of pen tips. Keep on keepin' on!
