I remember back in the early 90s watching this show on my satellite dish. Those were the best times of my life. I loved the Buzzard and Tom. My favorite show of all time.
George talked me into buying a gpaa life membership back in the 80's at a gold show in Richland , Wa. I didn't have enough money so he knocked the price in half I am still prospecting and I think of The Buzzard often when out with my head in a hole digging dirt
I miss him. So I know you must really miss him. I saw his first show that was televised on my satellite dish outdoor network I think it was 89. I watched every week bought and made equipment. I jioned the GPAA in 93. But my situation was such that I never got out much.
@@jayfox4086 I remember in 2000 it fell to $270 and change an ounce. I go out twice a month, spend 3-4 hours on a Saturday and pull in 300-600 in gold and stones (todays prices) most of the time. Been doing it for 16 years and within an 80 mile radius.
One of the best points he makes is to use just enough water to move the material. You see sooo many folks mining on the beach with their water rates too high for the fine gold they're trying to get...
anyone in nome alaska? so i am do or die now. 52 years old. and been watching gold shows like jeff williams and most others for many years. i just want to try this. price to fly here now is 355 dollars and I may just do it. I'm partially disabled I can walk just not jog or run. i would be bear food. 4 shore. but still, I want to try before I die. its the experience, not the money. now i am on disability and need money but i have to try or die. do or die. any help or any info? anything? i want to go to nome far west. for a month maybe 2 months
Looks good. fine flat gold is hard to catch I have mined the flour gold of the North Saskatchewan river and riffles are not the best for catching it ruclips.net/video/qHe54kyYt54/видео.html this sluice is patterned off of James Gibbons 1800s grizzly and uses a old wool blanketed tray on a 24 degree angle to catch the lions share of the flour gold . My first sluice was an exact replica of it 95+% recovery rate . water flow and 1/4" classification of material is very important . I've had as much as 3grams of gold in my blanket tray. You can gravel shovel steady into the boiler box and almost never have clean off gravel on the curved classifying screen which uses an ever increasing angle of repose to work well
Sounds like a good day gets 1 1/2 - 3 oz. a day after a storm. The question we both would like to know is what about an average day without a storm? Half? Like 3/4 oz. a day? At today's prices that's $2,100 every other day. At a half oz a day 80% spot price is $700 a day. The trick is to have 3 sluices constantly running for 16hrs a day. Stockpile paydirt after the storm. And live in a camper for 4 months. Boom....$100k I just need the $25k start-up

I was wondering how old this was when he stated gold was 350 dollars an ounce. Lol
The Buzzard got me into prospecting in the early 90s.
Best gold miner ever George Massie
i would watch the buzzard show back in the 80s from day one he had lots of info on how to prospect god bless his hart he was a good guy
Miss seeing Tom on Gold Fever!

I’ve been watching Since the late 90s . I miss the GPAA.

The Buzzard was the man that got me started prospecting in the early 90s. Learned so much from you both.
I wish this show was back on tv
GNN $67.50 Buzzard special! Best deal I ever got in my life
Finally after years of watching everybody there is and doing every experimenthank you
Excellent Information !!
remember seeing this in 99 living in Minn. Good ole days.
Hi from Eagan MN 👋
That fine gold can be a pain. Thanks for the info and video.
Buzzard speaks in riddles. Gold, gold, gold, fe,fe,ver. I watched this stuff decades ago 👍...
$350 an ounce, 😂

Tom, please make more videos thanks
i started metal detecting because of tom he gave me gold fever wen i was lil
I so wish this show was still on 😢
Thanks for sharing.
Great video, keep bringing these back...is crescent city Ca and good beach Oregon still open for public prospecting?
Have to look in to codes for this box in Vermont. A great deal of black sand there . Hmmmmmmm

Anybody know what book he pulled out but they never mention again
Does GPAA still have their week outings in Nome and is there beaches and camping up there open to the public?
Contact Nome City they will tell you..should be ok to camp on the beach
I am almost ready to patent an invention for beach gold and its well more productive than a sluice and it fits in a backpack..
Are the Massie boys still alive ?
George said $350 an ounce is a good day. God rest his sole if he only knew that it’s now $1800 an ounce. He’d roll over in his grave. RIP Buzzard.
where can i go to beach mine in Snohomish,County,Washington ???????
I think our best bet is Cape Disappointment

I live on the yuba River in California just so you know it is illegal to run a dredge anywhere on the yuba River.

@@bobsingh5521 hands and pans only on the yuba river
@@trollhunter7764
That sucks. I think Swartzennegar passed all those laws
@@bobsingh5521 on the positive side there are several groups making an effort to get our mining rights restored
@@trollhunter7764
If we can get to use even a 2” dredge that would be incredible
Have you ever heard of gold in Michigan
Shhhhh
350 an ounce . Those were the days
Blue berry bounce!

What is normal day weight no one will talk about it,
Sounds like a good day gets 1 1/2 - 3 oz. a day after a storm. The question we both would like to know is what about an average day without a storm?
Half? Like 3/4 oz. a day? At today's prices that's $2,100 every other day.

Boom....$100k
I just need the $25k start-up
can we collaborate fine gold in Myanmar, this place have gold source.
Sadly we can't do this without mounds of paperwork & restrictions.
Warsh it down!
"Gold at $350 an oz" hehe
That's back when the dollars were worth more.
Wow
Why is it most of these videos that have been out for several years are being posted as if they were made yesterday
Don’t never sell your gold
Yo
He's totally wrong pretty woman don't usually like to work at all
Lol 😂
This claims to be 1080, but it's a lie.
Sure it is just shut your eyes
Missin the Buzzard Days, we had a great country then.🤠🦮
