What can be better than a spring day out prospecting - finding nice gold while enjoying it!! Think we will have a great year, that is if the water ever drops. lol
I was up yesterday to Adams spot and the water was the highest I've ever seen it, almost couldn't work! Im getting sick of the high water real quick lol!
I can't agree more, tired of finding flood gold. I'm going to check out my claim this weekend, I have a feeling I won't get very far because of high water!!!!
Great intro!!!! One of the best I’ve seen! New sub Annnnd “Two Toes”, one of my favorites!!! Thanks to both of you for your explorations and videos!!! Cheers from Southern OR! ✌️
What a great day on the river. I use clear plastic air line to clean out cracks. Add water into the crack and siphon just like a straw. Just don't drink the river water or the material. I have a piece of air line about 4 feet long.
I love that you guys are are nature lovers and really appreciate your surroundings aswell as finding gold, what a great hobby to have! Hello from the UK...
you ever think of a canvas bucket (no metal rigs) rolls up fits in the pack nice light you just fill the bucket and go back to the pan holds a couple pounds of dirt that you can do several pans mine was $9 on amazon they're water buckets but you can put all kinds of things in them I saw the picture of tools in it really well made just a thought even feed the sluice box
@@californiamotherlodeprospectgood video. Good music good gold. Beautiful country. Tips and pointers for guys like me... hell your videos are a+ my friend. Hope to produce half the quality u do some day
Great video as usual.. Butterfly Beach! :) i got to see that beautiful river on monday for a hr, before heading back to socal. Had to at least see it... that place is awesome!. you guys are blessed! . cant wait to see it again in a couple weeks..
Howdy,I'm a new viewer (last couple weeks) and have really enjoyed you prospecting videos! Subscribed this week.thanks for the entertainment! Keep up the great videos! Dan
Outstanding day on the river LOL my cat wont let me type, damn cat! Prospecting is looking not finding! great video, super beautiful day on the river! Thanks for sharing it!
That was definitely a 3D picker!! It could even be called a small flugget... flake/nugget = flugget Beautiful day jerry thanks for the awesome vid. I think digging in the shade is one of my fav spots hahah
DAMN Jerry, I about spit my soda when You said that Squirrel had a stash of acorns and nuggets. I was going to be a smartass and say the exact same thing in a comment. LOL Great minds think alike I guess.. On the bright side, Even if there aren't any nuggets we can eat the cute fuzzy animule and call it even. LOL
Looks like you had a good day on the river Jerry, you need to move some of those boulders, brother. very good video brother. LBPA4Life! Sorry I didn't catch you during my live steam Jerry, I was busy cutting my hair LOL
I don't have experience on this but I do see gold Rush and other shows and they ALL say the same thing gold is heavier and as time passes by it just gets deeper and deeper,hey try it you might be surprised you might gain a little more specially around black sand
Have you ever played around in the San Gabriel River looking for gold I was there a few months ago not to look for gold just to hike and fish met some interesting people one guy showed me his stash the biggest piece was a size up sunflower seed that's the same shape about the same height bus 7 grams very impressive are there any has a lot of small gold too but I'll Pickers it was very impressive them guys are crazy
I don't want to know your location I just want to know which river that is Flowing so well??? I haven't been going to California in 10 years least I think it's Northern California??? Thank you
First off man that was rad! Great place good video awesome hunt! But why would anyone give this a thumbs down, keep up the great work gotta get some of your Paydirt cons to feature on my channel
No problem here you go! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FTLTJ77/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=californiam04-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07FTLTJ77&linkId=fc0de16fe6cc3130e88894061db8dcf8
I just have a question doesn't sand get lighter with water,saying that when your digging for gold up on the rocks doesn't sand get lighter and gold heavier should you dig minimum 1/2 ft to 1ft down to see what's really in the sand??well better luck next time.god bless.
Your not thinking old enough, Millions of years ago when the gold was deposited here, it may have been the bottom of the river or closer. the mountains are always pushing up over years so the bottom ends up higher up the bank.
Enjoying your vids. Wish that I could join you some time. I live in Oklahoma. But, I'm an over the road truck driver. So, I get to gold prospect the USA.
@@californiamotherlodeprospect If you ever get a chance to make the to Washington, make a trip over Stevens pass. From Everett to Wenatchee. It's a trip you'll never forget. From city to cow town all the way to Leavenworth which is a barvarian town. Then drop into the Wenatchee / Cashmere Valley.
Howdy Mark, Id say whatever feels the best and doesn't dig into your leg with the strap. I don't use them often though I should, I think Todd used Dewalt brand.
California Mother Lode Prospectors Yeah I’ve never used them when I was younger but now that I’m older the ground hurts my knees a lot more. Even though you don’t wear them I do want to really thank you for at least respond to my question. I guess I’ll just go to the hardware store and try some on.....thanks so much Jerry!
John thanks for asking, I don't really at the moment but its something I'm considering in the future, but I'd check out Prospector Josh here on youtube, he does "RAD" adventures in the mother lode and they are awesome!
Some nice gold you got brother, I’m gonna leave some stuff with TopCat for you. Maybe next year I can make it back and hit the river with you and the gang. 👍🤙
California Mother Lode Prospectors you said you’d like to get a better look at my coin now ones waitin on you brother and some stickers. LBPA4LIFE!!!!!!! 🤘
Nice day Jerry, you got a little bit of everything!!! Hey how long does that battery run on that vacuum when it has a full charge? Is it the 18v Dewalt? Keep kicking butt out there😊😊😊
What can be better than a spring day out prospecting - finding nice gold while enjoying it!! Think we will have a great year, that is if the water ever drops. lol
But seeing how I live in central Oklahoma I find my gold in antique shops, garage and estate sales.
I was up yesterday to Adams spot and the water was the highest I've ever seen it, almost couldn't work! Im getting sick of the high water real quick lol!

Thanks Ed no worries bro, looking good!
Only going to get better as the waters go down
Curious; would bringing a metal-detecting pin-pointer be of any use?
Yes we do at times, this river is known for smaller gold though.
I don't have experience on this but I do see gold Rush and other shows and they ALL say the same thing gold is heavier and as time passes by it just gets deeper and deeper,hey try it you might be surprised you might gain a little more specially around black sand
great stuff
Thanks Jess!
Sure did give that spot the once over....
Well done sir! 🍀🍀🍀⛏
haha its all clean now!
Looks really good bud
Even though you didnt get much gold, that location Is beautiful👍
Was that a cordless vacuum? I’d gather as much material as possible in buckets and to it somewhere else to pan.
Yes cordless vac, we do just that for the most part usually.
Nice butterfly pocket , they know
Yeah they do I believe!
Nice work mate 👊🏻🤠👍🏻
Thanks TAS!

Very nice haul. Where did you get your vac? Heading out to my secret place on Mokelumne River.
Thanks Julia, I ordered it online, its a dewalt cordless vac.
I just have a question doesn't sand get lighter with water,saying that when your digging for gold up on the rocks doesn't sand get lighter and gold heavier should you dig minimum 1/2 ft to 1ft down to see what's really in the sand??well better luck next time.god bless.

nice gold Jerry I think there was more inside that tire.
Hey Jan! I bet there was lol. Hope your doing well brother!
you were at my favorite spot to swim bro! :-) ....love that area...always beautiful and relaxing
Drew its amazing there!
I would just carry my chair to the river, sit down and read a book. ALL DAY.
What a beautiful land...
Sometimes I wonder why I don't just do that lol
Looks like a river here in Washington State, lots of deep pools and fast flow.
I bet there is a lot of beauty out there as well!

Thanks Sam!
Great day for you fun and gold
Great vid! What kind of vacuum is that ?
Thanks!, its a Dewalt 18volt
HEY JERRY!!!! Can you or ANYONE tell me what are the best knee pads to wear when metal detecting or gold panning?? Thanks😊
Howdy Mark, Id say whatever feels the best and doesn't dig into your leg with the strap. I don't use them often though I should, I think Todd used Dewalt brand.

So, how big are your batteries, and how long are they good for?
They are 3AH and are good for about 2-3 pans worth of material each.
nice vacuum assist ~
HAHA for sure Fong!
Is that in the Fraser river. How much is one ounce of gold cost.
Its the Yuba river Rose, Gold is around $1300 an once at the moment
How many batteries do you take out? How long do they last each?
I have 6 batteries, one will fill the vac about twice
First time I ever heard of someone using a vacuum cleaner in this manner!
Whoa!!!!
always a good day out there bro
Thanks bro!
What vacuum do you use?
Its a Dewalt
Do you offer any Gold Adventures to people that want to learn and have fun ?
John thanks for asking, I don't really at the moment but its something I'm considering in the future, but I'd check out Prospector Josh here on youtube, he does "RAD" adventures in the mother lode and they are awesome!
Thanks I really appreciate it and enjoy your prospecting very much !!!!
If you ever do any adventures please let me know . Thanks for the referral !
What is manufacturing company of the vacuum you're using?
Its a Dewalt
Spring cleaning ?? Have vacuum will travel! Nice video sir
LOL, will work for gold!
I've been thinking about trying my vacuum too
I just subscribed. Great video. I am originally from San Mateo, CA. Mind if I ask where in California you gold panned at?
Thanks Joe, this is on the Yuba river
Some nice gold you got brother, I’m gonna leave some stuff with TopCat for you.
Maybe next year I can make it back and hit the river with you and the gang. 👍🤙
Thanks DanO! Sucks we didn't get to meet up, hopefully in the future it will happen bro!
California Mother Lode Prospectors you said you’d like to get a better look at my coin now ones waitin on you brother and some stickers.
LBPA4LIFE!!!!!!! 🤘
Can you plan anywhere along the river or do you have a claim?
If its open and not claimed yes, or in rec areas and other hands and pans areas that aren't claimable.
I need a transponder cause im always solo
Hey bro the first to like and comment.keep up the great work.your vids are always enjoyable
Thanks Elk!
Nice day Jerry, you got a little bit of everything!!! Hey how long does that battery run on that vacuum when it has a full charge? Is it the 18v Dewalt? Keep kicking butt out there😊😊😊
Thanks Mark, one battery last about two fills on the vac.
California Mother Lode Prospectors I better make sure I carry a second battery, I thought they would run a lot longer than that!!!
Congratulations!, I’m so glad you don’t post fake as hell videos like Microrov Ro does!
Thank you! yes that channel really bugs me..
What's a gram selling for right now? $50 or so? I wouldn't be a good candidate for this. I'd want 10 grams or more to show up!
There are 10+ gram days, this just wasn't it.
Thanks 👍👍
Welcome 👍
Nice, how many grams in total for the day ?
1.1 grams for the day Steve
Peobly a nickle in that first pan. All washed out of those cracks by that bad boy river.
Thanks Chip!
You might consider weighing for us, after all of “our” hard work. That’s the most exciting part!!
Hiker probably wanted his belt back
HAHA darn yeah I should have just left it..
I always follow end of the rainbow to find my gold. It's quicker
I wish it were that easy!
Damn that's nice
