- Water was running to high to complete the original plan. With a little looking and a small change of plans, we went home with gold!

I rode in some helicopters near to 50 years ago and on the other side of the world. That looked like a lot more fun. Great video Gary, thanks.
The river you flew over looks like it could have amazing crevices. I bet you could spend the entire summer and not get them all.
That was a great video. You need a creek that is as dry as your sense of humour, made me chuckle at times. I was amazed at the size of the boulders in the valley from the helicopter shots. Having watched you do the crevicing I have now started to try this a lot more and it does give you some great rewards. All the best.
I have plan to do a little prospecting in the spot where those boulders are. You know what they say " big boulders - Big gold" Thanks - Gary
I'm glad I watch these videos. I'm just starting out. Ran my first 5 pans today, more for the experience than hope of actually finding anything. I think I actually pulled 3 pieces but haven't really scrutinized them yet. Plus, no snuffer bottles yet...they's comin. I have to say I really enjoyed giving it a try armed with the lil I know. I was just on a rocky river bank and just took random samples. I'm looking forward to doing it again.

Man I sure do love watching you find gold. I was just saying to my wife I haven't seen you put anything out in weeks and I remember you saying you had twisted your leg or something like that. Hope its all good now Blessed Be.
I am at the coast fishing right now - doctors orders, have to let the knee heal! Thanks - Gary
I just wont to say I enjoy your shows and gain a lot from them. Marion Brown
Thank you.
those pieces are worth the price of admission nice gold man looks like a fun day!!
Another great day when you post a gold vid. Gary you said you were going to go through the footage of the trip and study the areas you saw. ?? when you do could you show all of us that watch you what exactly you see and how you think about those areas. I watch your helicopter vids and TRY to understand what you think as you see spots that you like and why one spot looks better than another spot. A better understanding of how to read a river would sure help us learn to be better prospectors. Most of us can only see the rivers from bridges and google earth. You are a true inspiration to your subscribers, thanks for taking us along.
That is a very good idea. I never thought about putting together a video using the aerial shots to show how the gravel moves, and how I use it for a research tool. Things are to busy right now but, that will be a great project this winter. Thank you very much.
It's good fun watching your adventures and videos Two Toes-- and love the name....lol You give great advice to the adventure hunters! Thanks. Subscribed :)
The grass is always more golden on the other side
beautiful panoramic scenery and what a grand tour another great video thank you Gary
Thank you.
Always good Gary, thank you for the vids.
Thank you.
Have been watching your videos for the last few months and really enjoy them!you are a gold finding machine! Wish I lived closer as we just dont have much here in Washington that I know about.live your sniping videos!
gary, your vids are great...very informative and so REAL life !!!!
Thank you very much!
Thanks Gary nice video, especially enjoyed the chopper ride :)
Thank you.
Cool finds. The view from the bird was real nice, so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your experience : )
I love helo time! thanks - Gary
Great GOLD !!! I really like seeing you find gold with that metal detector. Thanks Gary for your video's !
I really like finding gold with a detector. LOL Thank you!
Great video!
That was a great clip. For being on the wrong side of that creek, you did pretty damn well. Cant wait to see what's coming up! As always, THANK YOU for bringing us along!!
Thanks!
Another great video. I really enjoyed the music during the helicopter ride, nice touch.
Thank you very much.
Great video, to bad you couldn't make it over to the good side. Can't wait to see tell you can get over to it. Look forward to your next video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
hi gary ;im 61 and the hiking doesn't get easier the older I get ,haha , but I try to stay in shape so I can do it a little longer yet , I,m sure you do too , pretty nice chunky gold , a bit over 3.6 grm I think , nothing wrong with that , lucky guy having a chopper to scout ,I could sure use one where I go , nice vid thanks for taking us along for the ride, cheers.
My dad is 99 and still gets around real good - so hopefully I have a few more years. Thanks - Gary
Really love your stuff man. Keep 'em comin'! Makes me wish i lived out west :)
Thank you very much.
Great adventure...!!
Thank you.
Nice area to hunt and Nice Gold.
Thanks.
Wow.. Forget about trying to cross... Those crevices looked good
Ya, but the other side looks better! LOL Thanks - Gary
Two Toes well hopefully the water will be down enough.
great vid, thanks for your effort
Thank you!
Another great video Gary! I can't wait to see some more of your sniping videos. I found some decent sized gold on our claim last weekend, using that method!
I love sniping, planning a trip in a couple of weeks. Thanks - Gary
Awesome video as always Two Toes. Looking forward to your next and hope to see you on the other side! Thank you!!!
Thanks!
Great video so entertaining cant wait for the next one keep them coming
Thank you very much!
Very good.
Always honest & informative show like usual
Thank you very much!
Great video.
Thank you.
Nice Job!
Thank you
Good choice of music with your videos also.
Thank you.
awesome! i'm having a tough time with my own spot right now, the winter swept all the gold in the bank i was going for the summer before this one down stream somewhere, so now i'm stuck figuring out where to get some further down the river... it's not too amazing, but seeing you get some awesome pieces makes me feel better! good stuff man, hopefully some day i can get 1/10th the gold you get out of those crevices...
It take a while, but soon enough you will be that guy that finds all the gold! Thanks - Gary
good work
gday from oz nice gold the scenery looks spectacular i can smell yellow from here,good luck,ps, i put a 16 inch nugget finder on my tdi it,s now a beast on the flat ground.
Better take a backhoe with you, or at least someone with a good shovel and a strong back! Good luck!
That was some nice gold finds. Better than a poke in the eye with a stick!. I'm curious if were going to have another wet winter, where we get even more water stored in the mountains.
One of the things about getting old is you have more winters the look at. This last winter was pretty much a normal winter, up to about 20 years ago. Normally I would say you can't have to much water, but I live on the valley floor. Thanks - Gary
I was wondering why you have not post in a bit. But glad you did. Get well soon.
Thank you!
Thank you for the new video. After nine days of watching this country lose it's collective mind, it's nice being reminded that some of us are self reliant and think for ourselves.
I had to quit watching the news - not good for the blood pressure. A day fishing or mining makes it all better! Thanks - Gary
I live watching your videos
Thank you.
Another great Video. You are by far one of the most knowledgeable prospectors I've seen here on youtube. Im sure we all hope you write a tell all book with tips, maps and GPS cordinates of your honey holes one day. I like many others would be the first to buy a copy. Some of your videos look like CA ? I do my fair share of prospecting here in CA and dream of having just one of your just "Okay" days. Cant get out as much anymore now that I have kids so I supplement my addiction watching you mine. Keep up the Videos they are awesome!
As soon as I get all the gold, I will start on that book! Most of my prospecting is in northern CA. - the Yuba and Feather river drainage area. Do like I did, drag them along kicking and screaming. Now that they are grown - they love going to the hills! Thanks - Gary
My boys are 4.5 and 2.5 . Took them to roaring camp this last weekened. They had a blast but im constantly on edge when they are close to the water. About 4-5 years from now I'll have a built in labor force. Anyways thanks for the videos and your responses.
Sweet
always like a new video!
Thanks!
damn you are good!
Two Toes is the man!
Thank you very much!
I know what you mean Two Toes !!! I'm 55 and just broke my right big toe at work 6 weeks ago and waiting to get healed enuff to get back to the creek and get the big yellow stuff I left behind !!! And it takes longer to heal cause I'm back to work on it but hopefully by the end of September it's pic and shovel time again !!
Well you know what they say - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Hope you get out there soon and good luck!
WoW, Helicopter could be a major asset to have available. Not much room to be landing in those spots, eaaa?
Your the master two toes thanks for your knowledge mate got a question two toes what's the best detector too use
Detectors now a day are very getting very specialized. I use 3 different detectors. What works for me, in my location, my not be the best for your needs. The best bet is to find out what is being used and works best in you area. Thanks - Gary
Gary is a human gold mine. Not to get too 'political', but just just as Donald Trump epitomises the very worst of human kind, Gary epitomizes the best with his friendliness and his willingness to share his wealth of knowledge.
Seems like Arnie and Jessie were sitting next to you for the chopper ride... music almost identical to Predator.
We love yours and Adventure Gold's videos, they are the very best out there. Now can you teach us how to make fails turn Golden? Cuz all our fails are still just that, fails :oP
We were all beginners at one time, I did my fair share of fails while learning. Even tho you don't bring home any gold, you get to bring home the memories of a great day in the hills! Good luck and you will start finding gold as your knowledge increases. Thanks - Gary
Brilliant picture from the helicopter, nice to see you had a good day An got some gold too .
I have hopes of doing a couple more helo trips this year. Thanks - Gary
Killler gold ! & sweet veiws as usual !
Thank you.
My helicopter is google maps,. you put in an address near your target and change the map to earth view and winter or summer you get the summer view of the area.
The problem I notice is you can't really tell if its a hill or flat and you can't see cliffs along creeks either.
That's most of my entertainment.
But I don't like to ask people to play in their creeks,... it makes me feel like a transient.
Thanks for all of the informative videos. I'm going to try my hand at crevicing and sniping. I was wondering, what's that little orange handled curved blade tool you use? I like that's narrow enough to get into crevices, but still strong enough to scrape and pry with. Thanks again, Gary. Happy Hunting!
The orange handled crevice tools, I manufacture and sell on my ebay store. There is a link in the description below. I am on the coast fishing right now and the store is closed. I will be back in a couple of weeks. Thanks - Gary
nice wan liked the video all the best
Thanks
What model camera are you using? Color, clarity, sound, refocus is spot on. Thanks for the vids and the sharing.
Canon 700D. I am still learning how to use it. Thanks.
What river is that from the copter with all the White Rock? Looks beautiful.
Middle fork of the Feather river.
Gary. Do you know if there are historical records online which show the largest gold pieces found or the largest finds of smaller pieces in large amounts by individuals/small groups?
I know there are mining records that tell what general size and amounts they were finding. There are accounts online of individual nuggets that are very rare and large size. Accurate records after 1900 get very hard to find. Thanks - Gary
Maybe I missed it in other comments, so excuse me if this is a duplicate, but: what model metal detector are you using?
Do you know if the compony that make the 17" crevies tool ship to Australia.
I am the one that makes the orange handled crevice tools. I would love to send them to Australia, but the cost of shipping and the paper work that the post office requires is just to much. The cost to ship one small tool is over $20.00 dollars. All my shipping is done at my shipping center, all I do is drop off the packages at the post office. I don't have to stand in line or any of that. When I ship out of the U.S. I have to stand in line to fill out the custom forms. I comes down to not enough time in the day. I haven't been able to find a better way to get stuff down there.
For crevices and sniping I'm going too a place called Nundle in nsw Australia looks like the same bedrock were you go and do you sell sniping tools I want too buy some
It cost more to ship the tool to Australia, than the tool cost. With the high cost of shipping and all the paper work you have to do, I only sell in the states. Thanks - Gary
LOL I thought I was the only one that could not get to the other side (where the good gold is) Similar situation or over run with poison oak/ivy LOL :)
That's why they make weedeaters - got to get to the gold! LOL Good luck and thanks.
LOL :)
I was curious what it costs to get the helicopter to do your prospecting
$600 - 700 a hour
Hey two toes are you gpaa member? I only have 6 gpaa claims close to me, California has lots, would love to be were you are
California has gold, beautiful mountains, and great fishing. But we also have high taxes, burdensome regulations, sooooo many laws and blithering idiots running the state. I guess you cant have everything. I quite renewing my membership with the GPAA a couple of years after Buzzard died. Thanks - Gary
Whats the most gold you've ever retrieved in a days work?
The most gold I have found in one day was just a hair over 2 pounds. Thanks - Gary
Holy shit! Thats all from small sluicing/panning?
I was using a dredge. It was on the last day of the season, I had a helicopter scheduled to pull everything out the next day. I decided to move the dredge down stream to clean out a small crevice I had noticed a few days earlier. At that point I had not done very well that year. It turned out to be a virgin crevice, less than a hour of work I pulled out the 2 pounds. Its going to be hard to beat that day! Thanks - Gary
Did you ever wish you had a fishing pole?
Always!
Final weight in in grams sorry
3.67 grams. Sorry about that - I think I am the only one left that still uses pennyweights. Thanks - Gary
The old school boys in Alaska ONLY use pennyweight measurements for their gold.
Dude Penny weights does not mean shit to us watching from SA.... please do grams lol
