I have a degree in geology, but I didn't learn as much in school as I learn watching you. Thanks Gary.
Gary is one of the best instructors I've found on RUclips. He's a natural born teacher.
Have to agree, just discovered his channel literally 1 video ago.
I've been watching off and on for awhile. Also visited many channels because I wanted a better idea of what other Prospectors had to say. I iniatially thought your approach was a touch slow for me. Basically because I'm new to the hobby ! I was anxious to get going and wanted to experience the excitement of finding Gold NOW ! Gold Fever ! 😳😂
I soon realized after a dozen or so outings Detecting and Digging an finding "Nothing, Zero pieces of shiney metal" its a "Hugh Process" and wondering into the desert and picking nuggets off the ground was not happening and needed to start building my knowledge of Geology and learn how to read the areas albiet Desert or Mountains I needed a teacher ! Back to your channel 🤔😁 and I have learned so much. Love your style and can't get enough. I've actually found a couple Grams in the area I stayed the winter in AZ. Keep'um coming, I'll be watching, Thanks ! 😁😉😎
Out of all the prospecting videos, you're my favorite. Very little music, tons of knowledge. You have helped me more than any other.. Thank you..
Are you kidding me!? Wow Gary your live nugget pick sure shot mine down! And that pan you did after lunch, best pan I think I've ever seen. Hah I love how your like "Well its not huge" or "We got some nice gold" and here I am spilling my chocolate milk on my keyboard trying to put my eyes back in my head! Great information like always and absolutely KILLER gold your finding! Id love to scratch a few of those rocks where you are. Thanks for sharing!
PioneerPauly I know right I would've flipped
Nice work!
By far, you are the best prospector on RUclips sir. Great info, great camera work, and amazing gold finds!
Thank you very much.
Personally I think he's the best prospector in California
Even if I wasn't trying to learn how to find gold, these videos would be equally enjoyable. Keep it up, good sir!
I figure I owe you about a year of my life because of how much you've taught me and the time you've saved me.
Great Job Gary, really love the presentation. Keep up the great work my friend.
Thank you! Looks like your into some nice gold, not to sure about the underground thing, I think I would get claustrophobic. I bet the gold helps cure that. Good luck looking forward to the next one.
Hi Gary, yes we are ....but you have to really work your Hiney for this Shiney...Old Ancient channels ...Yes seeing that Beautiful Yellow metal makes it worth while....thanks.
Hey its jeff!!
Hey my friend Jeff !!!!!!
The yellow makes the panic mellow ..😁
Knowledge isn’t knowledge until it is shared ... much appreciated sir thank you for sharing!
Never thought about it, but so true!
What a nugget. The way you acted so casual cracks me up I’d be screaming jumping up and down down. Hopefully after watching you an taking in as much advice as I can I’ll be able to go out and do the same.
I appreciate the way that you often act as a "steward" of the land, and even though you want to dig around, you do not want to do more damage than necessary. I was tuning my banjo and you popped on in the background, I don't stop playin' for much so you must be alright. Keep Moving, keep an eye on our beautiful world. Most of all, GOOD LUCK! 🍀🧠💪♥️🕊️
What I appreciate the very most is how you take the time to move the camera around as you explain the spot you're in, and the options you'll explore, to show your perspective on the hydraulics of it. Excellent.
That's what I call a hell of a day. Awesome day of fun in the sun. Congratulations on a profitable day.
Thank you Gary, I'm watching this again because it's raining and it's just fun to watch your channel. Thanks for the videos. I especially like the way you instruct. You explain before what you will do and then prove your point with the Gold. Also, thanks for sharing those methods you use too. I just got into prospecting a couple years ago and keep learning from you. You have the best way to show "How To". Thanks, I just had to let you know your helping us all to understand prospecting and your videos have great scenery too! That snake is a reminder, keep your eyes looking around! OK, back to the rainy day videos. Please make as many as you can!
I have watched Matt's channel for a long time and what is so interesting I am learning to find gold, and I watch two toes from northern California for ever also and the Sierra Nevada ,high Sierra is his stomping grounds , I hadn't thought about where it is until like yesterday a day before seeing this.😅 actually today on lunch break I googled it. I have learned so much from Gary two toes videos, and then to see your video of the hike looking for the mine , was so cool . Very steep and rocky, I can say that because I live on the coast of Oregon, about middle of state , i smell the ocean. I hike in the woods here it's flat and there's dirt not rocks like Jefes hike. Thank you guys
Gary, that looked like a perfect day (less the hike out). What great looking nuglets. Cant wait for part 2!
It was a beautiful day, I hated to leave the river. Going to try and get back in this weekend - if it doesn't rain. Thanks - Gary
Hello Gary, I been watching your videos for about five years now and love it, I learn so much from you sir, you are the best. God bless.
Wow, thanks
I love your you tube channel , you are the best teacher in finding gold.
Nice little highbanker system, thanks.
Well a big howdy from Montana again Gary! I like rewatching some of your videos because I know where you’re headed so I pay a lot of attention to the finer details. Many times I find the video almost new due the learning a few more important details. Watching your background says volumes what you’re seeing l as classic and even potentially overlooked areas. Thanks for all you do for the prospecting community!
21:20 Non-venomous Garter snake… I think.
This video is another great lesson for where to look for gold & why. Thanks for another excellent lesson on how to read the river. You & about four others are helping me learn super fast. Thank you so much!
Even though this video is some years ago now the videos you have done are still exciting to those that are just discovering them , seeing your find here that you got that day I would be smiling from ear to ear for ever , that was a fantastic find you got there my friend, hope all is well in your world and good health , keep doing what you can while you can ,best of wishes take care .
been watching you for a year, just bought my first claim and im looking into getting some equipment. great vid
Boy was I happy to see that you uploaded another awesome experience today!!! You're always appreciated and a big thank you from my wife and I. My wife loves to watch with me and we think you're the best channel for gold prospecting! We've learned so much from you and always patiently wait for your next adventure. Looks like you had a great, beautiful day! Thank you Gary!
If it wasn't for that "having to work for a living" thing, I would be able to post more often. Thank you for the support.
That was a very informative video and great to see the results. The creek looks amazing too. Please do a part 2 - staying tuned.
If the rain doesn't make it impossible, I will be back! (sounds better when Arnold says it) Thanks - Gary
Hi Gary, I just turned 98!,and I feel like I know how to prospect,just from your great shows.Have you ever thought of having a couple students to work with you? Then you could be scraping 3 crevasses at a time. Don't pay them , charge them for the privilege.
Gary, your shows are the best! I could watch you all day:) Thank you for explaining everything in detail. Until the next one!
Susan
Hello my name is Ed , you met my cousin Dan a month or two ago I live a lot closer then he does from the river and he and I have panned there several times. I recently moved so I didn't get but one or two days of panning this year but hopefully 2018 summer I will see you down there I'm the fella with the blue 4x4 Chevy that a few people have seen. I really enjoy your videos I know it's a lot of work to do them so thank you again.
Hopefully we will meet one of these days. I will keep an eye out for the chevy! Thanks - Gary
Woah! Love that chunky gold when it suddenly appears in the pan : )
you rock Two Toes with prospecting videos of awesomeness!!! Keep Going, Don't Stop
I really enjoy your channel !! I'm retiring this year 55yrs old. I've learned a lot from you, I'm sure it will benefit me when I try putting to use. I live near Chicago, and will be heading west!! Me and my trusty dog, hahaha maybe can stop by and say hello some day
I'm so glad I found your channel. I have a property in SW Virginia that has an old iron ore mine on it and I'm 2 10ths of a mile from the New River and the property is chock full of crystal iron round river rocks. For years I've noticed shiny flecks in the busted rocks. I know some of it is pyrite but some of it I'm convinced is gold.
You in my opinion are a great prospector Gary. every year me and a friend head to the sierra`s for a gold trip. Never find too much but the adventure is always great. You have taught me a lot about how to and where over the years. Thanks for all your informative info. Take care an Happy Huntin`
Really appreciated your explanation of the river dynamics, differentiating the gravel and boulder sizes in relation to water velocity and timing. Very valuable knowledge, interesting, and obviously..correct! Thanks for passing along your teaching and experience.
Thank you very much.
What a beautiful place , that river is so clear . Really enjoyed watching, your so knowledgeable about prospecting. Take care .
Hi Gary. Wanted to thank you again for the incredibly instructive and entertaining video. I especially liked your review of how the various sizes of rock were deposited at the end of your video, as I was just starting to think about how to phrase a question I had. But then you explained that the smaller rocks were deposited after the larger ones, once the river had dropped. That made great sense. Thanks again!
Never understood before this video the physics involved, it makes perfect since. I always thought it was all just a matter of luck but, thanks to you sharing your knowledge and experience I really learned a lot today, Thank you very much and the best of luck to you!
Love your videos. Thank you for your knowledge.Please more videos. I think I've watched them all twice now. lol
If it would stop raining on the weekends, it would be a lot easer to make more videos. This working on the house on the weekends is killing me! LOL Thank you very much - Gary
Another great vid. I liked the camera angles and a lot of the composition of this video. Very instructional. Plus you kicked ass on the gold as usual!!! Thank you.
I just wanted to say thank you for your hard work and great explanations of what you do
Great job .... You have located some very nice areas. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and instructions.
Pinto creek runs through Pinto valley mine. The area I would be showing you is the part of the creek that runs into the mine. It's in a fairly deep but accessable canyon. I've panned in there before but I didn't go all the way in, but I did find lots blacksand.
Love it when I come across one of your videos that I haven't seen yet.. Great content as always,score on the clean up, epic gold.
Thanks for another Great Video Gary. You are the best teacher online i reckon. What a great little highbanker. If i could offer you a tip my mate gave me, that makes me feel alot better when i get home. Is to cut a little square of body board or yoga mat that fits in backpack, or drill a hole and tie it ,its to kneel on.
Oh yeah , and Pleeeease make a part two. I reckon thats a great spot. And i think i will find more nuggets in my gully now. I thought it had been dredged which it might have. But i got a feeling because of the rock bottom nothing stops. I knew those big boulders were our freinds will have to concentrate more on them .Thanks
Good luck, hope you find a nice hunk! Thanks - Gary
Lol i love how 2 of my favourite gold channels watch your vids! Your like the god of gold on youtube! Shout out to jeff and adventure gold!!!
I am a big fan of there channels too! Thanks - Gary
Thats a good pan mister. Thanks for the uploads. I really enjoy them. Cheers from Sweden.
After watching some of your previous adventures I first thought it said "Finding the pay streak with a helicopter"! Only you could pull that one off...thanks so much for all the info.
I like it! Will have to work on that one. Thanks - Gary
Brilliant stack of gold in the pan! A great video Gary, one of the very best on every level. I also loved your Tip for how to have a non-flattened Lunch LOL.
I've been watching your video's ,and dam if you don't know your stuff...I am learning a lot from you ,and thank you for that...Also like to thank you for your service in the USMC that was a great service to our country ,and me,,,:-)
Thank you.
So glad to see you out and about getting into the field. I learn so much from your videos that you are my go-to source for learning how to prospect. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and adventures with us!
You are the one prospector I can make bets on and profit! You usually have 2 things on your mind. 1) gold ...2) food ‼️🎯😂 Actually, the third thing you mention in every video is ...the angle of the sun and time to pack up and head out; but many prospectors have that same thought when they are heading out in lieu of camping nearby. I figure you live with a 2 hr drive from most places we see you at, but why is it always so darned far to pack in and out? I know you must run into an awful lot of rattlers, and that would make me hike out during daylight too! But I have seen bears and cougars in the hills around the 1500 to 5500 elevation both Sierras and Coastal, Mayacamas!
Love, love, love the videos Gary. Wish I could hang out and learn from you for about a week.
Great videos! Always gets me out of the house and out in the hills! The dogs thank you too they get out a lot more! Found my first lil gold nugget crevicing bedrock in smartsville thanks to your lessons!
I hope to do a little prospecting above Smartsville before the snow hits.
Great video! Hoping for part 2 soon. That little traveler at 21:10, Thamnophis elegans vagrans, thanks for sharing it.
You got it! He was about 4 feet long. Thanks - Gary
Thank you so much my friend I'm learning so much off your information very easy to understand and retain information thank you I'm moving back to New Brunswick from Ontario I'll be doing a lot of gold digging down there for sure. Wish you were there to help me out.
Hoping for that part 2! Looked like a great day for you.
Any day in the hills is a great day. Thanks - Gary
Great video Gary. Your style of teaching is very effective and very pleasant. 'Looking forward to more videos!
Another wonderful video! I always feel like I’m right there with you when I watch your shows. I look forward to part two! You are amazing! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you very much.
Hello Gary, I like you idea for the sandwiches. :):):)
Long time subscriber, liked the sandwich protector, Learned a lot for my notebook, thanks for sharing!!
Very nice gold. Look forward to part II
Thanks!
Haha thanks for showing us how to protect the lunch too Two Toes. That’s just as valuable as gold after a days work of digging.
Really enjoyed watching your adventure , wish the gold was like that here in Scotland 🏴. I loved the part that you filmed finding the nugget. It seemed to have a silver colour in the middle of it . Anyhow stay safe An look forward to seeing you again . Devito
That was a bit of quartz in the center. Thanks - Gary
Two toes,
Love your channel
I’m in my latter 40’s and I’m from Chicago where there’s no gold.
Your info on mining is very comprehensive hopefully I can get to Northern California in the future and give gold prospecting a try.
Please keep up with your videos and good luck TT!
Thank you very much.
Enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and adventures with us!
Thank you.
What a great day!! Can't wait to see part two Gary your information is priceless if you ever start having classes I'm all in LOL until then I'll just keep enjoying these videos
If my financial guy ever tells me I can retire, that may happen. Thanks - Gary
👍🏻
Another great video TT. You have proven how important it is to do your homework then put your knowledge to work for you. Thank you for sharing it with is and Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you.
Gday from Victoria Australia
I love your videos thankyou for making them.
Ive learnt a lot from all your experience and hopefully whether im detecting, high banking, panning
or just 'reading the river' ALL of it has helped me to better understand and I think when I get out there in the field to better my chances of finding some colour too...
id be going today except its windy and 39d Celsius.
High Fire risk today here
Happy Thanksgiving to you Gary! This video was very informative. I see what you mean about the small gravels setteling later after the storms. And the boulders in a line at the widening part of the river. Never heard this before and yet it is so obvious. Thanks for putting it all together and proving it with the gold! I'm grateful for your sharing your info and experience. The tips and tricks you are showing are super practicle and effecient. I'm kinda new at this but, with your videos I have been finding way more. I live in Tahoe and go to the Am River and that area. So, plenty of places to work with the info. Thanks again and keep those videos coming! Happy Thanksgiving!
It won't be long before your covered up with the white stuff. Stay warm and thank you.
Very impressive Gary, good job and thanks for the info.
great video as usual Gary, very informative, very nice gold also , I like the t shirt at the end ,reminded me of a joke my brother in law used to say , he reckoned he was getting stronger the older he got , cause when he was a young bloke he couldn't even bend his old fella ,now he's older he says I can bend it real easy ,haha ,cheers, looking forward to maybe part 2 of this one .
All the good shirts I have, my kids got me! Thanks.
Good job Gary, very nice gold chunks. I know you can't think of everything, but wondering if you could mention the names or brands of pump, I saw the rest.
Aloha, Paul
Nice video and nice gold Gary. Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks.
Gary,
Thanks so much for the effort you put into your channel. I bookmark every
one of them. Can you provide a list of where I can purchase all of the components needed to set up that exact highbank outfit you were using please?
Thanks much
I also wanted to say, thank you to you and your wife for raising such wonderful young American patriots.
@twotoes did you ever do a part 2 to this?
Great information. Thank you!
I tried but we got a good storm and it dropped a bunch of boulders on the good spot. Over the years they have been slowly moving out, hopefully someday I will be able to finish that spot.
That was great gazz .. good sound track ..carryon pip pips .. oh and be carefulls.. theres a crazy man runnin aboot the desert...😁
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I have been learning so much.
Hopefully that puts gold into my pocket and a whole heap of fun trying.
Nice gold my good sir. Very much enjoyed the video. Can't wait for next year's adventures.
Thank you!
So cool to watch you find gold. Makes me twitch and itch to find me some shiney too. Wish I knew where to get looking around here though. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise, and for showing your gold findings. Seriously a gold nerve twitch going on now in my whole being.
thats a sweeeet nugget man thats the stuff dreams are made of.....very cool!! that chunky stuff is amazing too what a great spot!!
, excellent video Adventure great information thank you Gary., check the test pots and if there is any good sign we will add gear if not we will stack gear and head out to the forties to reset gear until we hunt them down . there is fishing and then there's catching. you are definitely the highliner of Prospectors
Thank you.
Very good , you explain everything so well we all enjoy the great work you do sharing your knowledge can’t wait to see your next one .!
Thank you!
I totally agree you are very gifted with your patience to explain so well. love your work. BERT
Always a pleasure watching your videos mate
Thank you very much.
That was some impressive prospecting! Thank you!!
A great video Two Toes! one of your best. Besides the filter mishap that is :) Gotta make a pt2 when you can really work that area and enjoy it. I look forward to seeing what came in behind that big boulder! thanks for doing these. You're awesome.
Thanks you very much!
You're so watchable. I love the Tip about protecting your Lunch using the gold pans LOL! Nice one. I would perhaps like to understand better some of the issues described perhaps a bit too "generally" eg. What's too large gravel and *why* is it too large/small.. Thumbs up from Scotland where I'm off to Leadhills soon to see if I've learned enough to find me some river gold.
The gravel in a creek bed tells you everything about the creek and surrounding area, I am working on a video that will go in depth on how to read the gravel. At least what I have learned over the last 50 plus years.
Nice Gold and nice little high banker. That area is real nice to Great Video.
Thank you.
Great Stuff, always enjoy your episodes; one old guy to another.😂
your videos are as good and informative as gold adventures, very nicely done. rick in Montana.
Thank you.
Great video as always. I love seeing natural gold.
So do I. Thanks - Gary
Gary great video, I live in Lincoln Ca. Noticed you always mine by yourself. If you want someone to go out mining with let me know.
I have 240 acres in Georgetown Ca. with crystalline gold on it. Snakes are no joke.
I have a small group of friends that I enjoy prospecting with. A lot of the time they have the same problem we all have when it comes to getting out - working for a living. I consider myself lucky, I love what I do and I'm self employed, so I have a little more leeway. That's why a lot of the time I'm by myself. Most of the time, if you don't mess with the snakes they won't mess with you. Thanks - Gary
I’ll go with ya if you haven’t found anyone
Great video, sir!!! Please make a part 2! 😁
Hi Gary, as usual another entertaining and educational video , I always enjoy watching your channel .just before you weighed up your gold I took a uneducated guess, I was only .02 grams away from your total , which I may say is a fantastic amount . Best regards Lloyd
I was way off. I didn't think it would weigh that much. Glad I was off in the right direction. Thanks - Gary
I'd be super excited to just find the chunky stuff you get on a regular basis, let alone that nuggy! Nice work TT
I get excited when I find most anything. Thanks - Gary
Yeah ha! I'm with you. Doesn't really matter the size, as long as there's color in the pan I'm excited. Getting near end of season up here though in BC. Looking forward to hitting the Fraser this winter though!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us gary. Love the videos from Victoria Aus😁.
Cheers
Awesome video Gary! hope you do do a part 2 there! ps I made a windscreen wiper crevice tool and it was amazing so really wanted to thank you for the great idea...Thanks Gary look forward to the next 1
That is great to hear, I always have one in my pack. Thank you and good luck!
loved the video keep them coming. I moved to las vegas from California mammoth lakes to be exact .
back then I dident know how to prospect for gold, till I moved here hard lessen to learn .Happy Thanksgiving
You have gold all around Las Vegas. Detecting trips to Arizona in the winter, sounds like fun to me! Thanks - Gary
Yes Gary you’re the best! (From New Zealand)
Another great, informative video. Is that a homemade hand rake? I find I use a hand rake more and more, but I haven't found one that will hold up through a full season yet. Thanks for the educational, and entertaining content of your channel.
I made that rake about 25 years ago. It is made from an old 3 prong garden rake. I will have to do a video on how to make one. Thanks - Gary
