How do you not have over 100 thousand subscribers yet? I find your videos both, entertaining and educational. Thanks for sharing.
Must only be 8000 real miners. LOL Thank you very much.
Thanks Gary. I watch each of your videos more than once. Learn something new and different EVERY time I watch them. You, sir, are a Rock Star in the world of gold detecting! Your delivery is far and away the most authentic on the net and I already feel like we're best friends just from the amount of time we "spend together". Hope to meet you someday and thank you in person. Please keep your videos coming as there is no such thing as one of your videos being "way too long". Thanks, from all of us on the viewing end. 👍
That weathered nugget was a nice find. These short days of winter are especially short down in those deep creek bottoms. Thanks for taking us along.
The hike takes the same amount of time. With the short days, you don't get a lot of working time. Its still worth it. Thanks - Gary
Hi Gary,grew up in Cal. Did recreational prospecting when not working two jobs. Never any dredging, high banking until they took that away from me. Then I came across your u-tube channel and you gave me new life.
Got a Whites GMT, a backpack loaded it up with your suggested crevice tools kit and a wet suit .i want to thank you for my hole new outlook to prospecting, love your videos and you sell quality prospecting tools and equipment thank you !!! I just moved to Utah and have Co. Wy. And Montana at my back yard ,
You are surrounded by some of the most beautifully country! Unlike California, you even have a bit of freedom in those states. Other than the cold - I am so jealous. The best of luck and thank you!
A lot of gold to be had in all those states.
If you crossed that stream we wouldn't have learned about heading to a new location if you run into lighter materials like aluminum. Always a nugget for the poke from your videos,Thanks for bringing us along
Now I'm not sure what side I want to work on! Thanks - Gary
Perfect video for me today, I took the crevice tool and it worked great Gary, I know why you give it an Orange handle, everything started blending in.
Lots of square nails, love the SDC Gary folds right up in my backpack, can’t wait for the next video, Dan Brent
Two Toes I've got snow in Ohio. Watching what you're up to is way more interesting then the cold outside no matter what you find. Thanks for the adventures and keep them coming. Merry Xmas!
We have Californian politicians, you have snow. I think you win! Thanks - Gary
Your persistence paid off. I'm very new to prospecting but I'm learning much watching your various techniques and experience. Thanks, Gary.
Thank you!
Want to know the most efficient and productive way to do something...watch an old guy do it..whole thing boils down to what the man can carry with him. nothing wasted. thank you sir Gary. well done
As always, a wonderful and instructional video. Hopefully I will be able to come down and meet you this coming year. In the meantime, I will just have to sit back and enjoy all of your videos again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and adventures with us. Best regards, Chuck Preston
I plan to shoot videos until the rain puts a stop to it. Thanks - Gary
You make us feel like we're always on the adventure with you! Thank you Gary and a Merry Christmas!
That's great to hear, when filming, it like you guys are there. Thanks - Gary
Sir Gary..You are the university of Gold prospecting...So much to learn from each of your videos....trying to implement your knowledge and experience here in India....Thanks for sharing informative videos...
Well thank you sir , One of the best pieces of advice i have ever heard , Aluminium is light so if its there the gold is heavy and wont sit at the same piont in the water flow ,,, so simple but i never even though it ,,, THANK YOU AGAIN

Gary, I have been enjoying your videos for quite some time now. I always learn a little something from each video you put out. I swing an older model MXT. While its not a great detector for getting the very small pickers down deep, I have picked up my share of small pickers at an inch or so down. My secret is when I find a small picker, I pan out all the soil surrounding it. I usually find fine gold in the same immediate area. Sometimes I will mark the GPS coordinates and return at a later time to set up my recirculating highbanker. Thanks for the great videos! Keep em coming! May the Lord continue to bless you!
I'm the same way. The way I see it, if that one piece is there, your in a good spot - don't leave gold to find gold! Thanks - Gary
Thanks for your time and talents Gary. Enjoy your winter months as best you can. Hope to see you on the other side!
Thank you.
I have kearned one thing. Digging a target after finding the metal is IMPORTANT.
you already spent the time locating and digging and the possibility of gold being with the initial find is higher than not.
So uncover the entire area...."don't leave gold to find gold" Per Gary.
Thanks Gary. You are THE BEST!
Wow the nugget weighed more than I thought. Really good day of fun in the sun. Congratulations on a great day.
You always seem to find some nice gold Gary, thanks for sharing. Boy I would have loved to dredge with you years ago before the bureaucrats took over.
We used to have some great times dredging with our 8" dredge. We would go up for three days at a time. We even had a old propane refrigerator in camp! I could have made some great videos. Now I have to sneak in my two inch. Thanks - Gary
Another good video there two toes I've always loved the mountains in California lived in Riverside for 8 years it's my second home thank you for sharing peace out
I had a smile on my face when you said that you dig every target , on a few occasions I've walked out of an area that I was detecting in the dark . I also dig every target or at least I try to , you just never know what you might dig up .best of luck the next time you head out prospecting .
If I don't it drives me crazy wondering what it might have been. Thanks - Gary
Two Toes I feel you on that one. I too have passed up a couple of targets not knowing what was under the ground.
Looked like a great day to be out there. Thanks as always for taking us along. Really appreciate the time you and the other guys put into producing these videos. I bought a Fuji xp 120 camera recently. Hope to join the You Tube crew when I struggle my way through all technology stuff and get up to speed.
Thank you and good luck.
Love your videos Gary. Thanks for all you do.
Would love to see a research video. I'm new to prospecting but have been spending a lot of time trying to do research. Seems the hardest part for me is once you find an area that is interesting is trying to locate the roads that get you to that area, hope you cover that if you do a research video. Keep up the good work, you are awesome.
I have already started on it, but as long as the weather hold I will be heading to the hills. I can work on the research video during the rainy days when I can't go out. Thanks - Gary
Another practical video Gary...interesting about the aluminum. You have great products and I hope more serious gold hunters check out your ebay store; I was not disappointed. Thanks.
Thank you very much!
Great video Gary, nice little nugget and pickers..!! Thanks for sharing your adventure.!!
Thanks.
Must've missed this video before. I bet something like a vac pack would work wonders for some of those small crevices. Would be pretty cool to see! Thank you sir! Spring is here in Alaska but still too much snow to access most places.
I love the vac pack. The reason I rarely use it is, 1 - its noisy and 2 - its bulky. They are a great time saver but I can't get past the noise.
Awesome nugget Gary. Cool video
I learn a little more with every one of your videos.
Thank you...
Thank you!
Nice. Too bad part 2 is postponed till next year. But still you had a great hunt in my book. I am looking forward to the next video. I get the itch to try a new permission every time i see your videos. Thanks for sharing. GL and HH. Eric
I am booked this weekend, but if it doesn't rain I will be heading back in the following weekend. There my still be a part two! Thanks - Gary
To bad our low water period is so short and your spot is going to have to wait! However you found a great detecting area and it is the perfect time of year to spend some time hunting the area!!! That is some nice gold hope to see you find even more there!!!!
If we don't get any rain in the next couple of weeks, I might be able to cross the creek. Either way, I got gold to find in there! Thanks - Gary
Thanks! Enjoy watching, from No Gold Here Missouri.
I think it might be a little on the cold side to go looking out there right now! Thanks - Gary
Damn Gary thats awesome. Its so important to dig up every target as youve shown picking up that piece of aluminium. If you never picked that up you may of not moved and found that last nugget! Im glad you didnt give up in those crevices either. Great video I love how crisp the video was and absolutely loved the gold. What camera are you using? Thanks for sharing.
I use a Canon 80D. The sound was bad because my batteries were week on the transmitter. I now have a extra set in my pack - 20-20 hindsight. Thanks - Gary
great info your giving out to hunt gold, this well help for the beginners like me. it to mt is just rec-to hunt gold, don't expect to find much but just for fun with the familey .
Killer adventure as always , sure sparking my fever up been awhile since ive played in the dirt!
Thanks
I learn so much from your videos thank you
I enjoy the vids and especially with the cloed captions as i am often in noisy environments
GREAT !! video Gary, I must say I like your metal detecting video's the best !!
Thank you very much.
Beautiful nugget at the end of the day!!
Gary , another great video metal detecting !!!! Thanks !
Thank you.
Nothing wrong with waiting a while longer to highbank that gravel you were getting up there. Gee i cant wait to see that.
Oh well its stinking hot over here and the snakes are out. So im hopping i can find a few nuggets and no snakes. I finally found a gully that has some but its a massive walk downhill in. so going home isnt much fun. Im trying to work it out.
It is very narrow and allmost all bedrock. It is hard to find material in places as it looks swept clean. Even the boil holes are clean. May have been dredged but no big tailings piles. I can see in the bottom of crevaces chisel marks. The old timers worked it in 1875 on from what i can find. All i can do is what you do on your videos. And look for where the big rocks stop i suppose. Thanks for helping us all out with your movies. Cant wait till part three.
Good luck and keep an eye out for those snakes! That's one good thing about winter - no snakes or ticks. Thanks - Gary
Thanks for the video, Two Toes!! I hope that you and yours have a very Merry Christmas!! Thanks for the education and the content!
Same back to you! Thank you for the support.
By the way, I am a new subscriber to your channel. You came up as a suggested video while I was watching AskJeffWilliams. Both you and he have taught me more geology than I ever thought I would want to learn.
Your filming style reminds me a lot of Les Stroud (Survivorman) and how he films episodes solo. From the looks of it, you walk trails a couple of different times to set up cameras and film walking scenes. So far as I can tell, in most videos, you work alone. Excellent job, sir.
Welcome aboard! About 90% of my videos I do alone. Most of my friends have a life. LOL Thanks - Gary
Great vids!! Love the adventures.. thanks for sharing. cheers!!!
Thank you!
Thank you for the video and great information as always Two Toes.
happy holidays thank you for another excellent video Gary.
Best wishes and thank you.
Another great video way to enjoy the outdoors.thanks for sharing
Thank you.
He's in some of the most beautiful spots on earth! I wish I knew where.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours from the Preston family in Bremerton, Washington.
Thank you very much, have the Merriest Christmas and the best new year yet!!
These are really good videos thank you
Happy Holidays! Nice video! Good gold Gary!
Thank you very much!
Well done with the backup plan.
Got to have a plan B. Thanks - Gary
thanks for for the utube i enjoy going on your trips
Thank you.
Thanks Gary great info in video
Thank you.
I go to areas like this in CA all the time and all I ever find is Bottlecaps, barb wire and nails. Not even a flake of gold. Best thing I ever found was black sand.
Great video Gary that was one nice little nugget there !! I have yet to find anything like that yet but watching your videos makes me more determined to find some lol lol !! take care bud !
It was a long time before I found my first nugget, I still have it under glass! It was about half the size of the one in the video, but it was a nugget! Thanks - Gary
Love your videos makes wish I started young when I lived in Cali
Going prospecting will make you young again, well - that's what I keep telling myself! Thanks - Gary
Nice video again 2T. I can't wait for part B and part b 2.0 haha
I'm going to have to start keeping track in a note book! Thanks - Gary
Nice video and gold Gary! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2018!
Thank you and the best to you and yours!
Good job this was a great video good narrator very wise and positive
Thank you!
Gary I really like your video's. I live in the Oakdale area below Nights Ferry. I have a White's MXT. Do think it would be suitable for detecting gold in the hills?
Nice noog! And a good days takings.
Thanks.
Nice gold nugget!
Lets move some boulders lol, the gold has to be under there. Love all your videos. Can't wait for the next one.
Getting the stuff tighter, hope the weather hold long enough to get it done. Thanks - Gary
well that nugget had to come from somewhere above where you found it. hopefully you can home in on the source. or at least the nuggets brothers and sisters lol
💪💪those days out are the best no matter what you find thank you 4 vid
wow ; I can't believe I'm the first to comment , there must be a prize for that surely , great video again Gary , is the water too high cause of snow melt ,or have you had rain , nice gold , but yeah that gully could have deeper fine gold that your detector may not pick up , be good to put some of that gravel through the highbanker , it's summer here in Australia , bit hot for me to go out, but seeing your vid ,now I,m busting to go soon as the holidays are over maybe when it quietens down a bit , during my breaks I been crushing ore and floating it ,then i'll leach it , and drop it out if there's anything in it ,keeps me busy in the down times ,just a hobby to kill time ,btw, that nugget was a beauty ,cheers .
We had a couple of nice rain storms come threw, about 3 weeks of rain. There has been no rain for the last 2 weeks and they say it will be a another two weeks before we get any more. I have plans to go back in there in a week to see if I can get across the creek. You can be sure if I go I will be taking all of you along! We should trade a little weather - its below freezing here. Thanks - Gary
Question, can you find any good good in bed rock that haven't been under water with water running down hill from natural spring. Also I learn from you thanks.
Watching all your videos...
But came up with a question.
Why do you not use a pin detector? Curious.
Thanks for sharing!!!
very nice!!
Great video Gary ,best videos on gold mining I only watch you and adventure gold, just wondering if you carry any protection against bears or have you had any encounters out in the mountains. Thanks for posting.
I don't carry anything but my mining gear and camera gear. I don't worry about bears, I see them every now and then, but they take off as soon as they see you. I was stocked by a mountain lion once, that is a very uncomfortably feeling. I feel if you keep your eyes open and keep track of what's going on around you, you will be fine. All I can hope for if I am ever attacked, when its all over, it know it was in a fight. I all most forgot, I had a rattlesnake chase me once. It was the strangest thing, it would no give up, it chased me down a path a good 50 feet. It kind of freaked me out, I took the long way out and completely avoided that area. Thanks - Gary
Great video Gary and a nice chunky piece of gold there. I have the minelab 705 gold pack and I sure dig a lot of trash. Nice to know about the aluminum. Winter here in Montana and difficult to get out anywhere now so I already have cabin fever. Really looking forward to highbanking part B. Merry Christmas
Montana is beautifully country, that is right up to when it starts snowing. I have gone hunting there about 20 years ago and got some nice deer, but dam it gets cold there! Best to you and yours!
How are you liking your 705?. It takes getting use to knowing your targets and signals with any machine. I use the 705 Dual Pack with 2 coils and mainly hunt beaches. Although I do also hunt parks but my best luck is the beaches. You’ll get a lot of trash and after awhile you’ll get the hang of the signal or you can cancel out that target. The only problem with that is you might pass up gold because half of the trash you dig up sounds like a gold, pull tabs and bottle caps, etc. I would recommend you check out Garry’s Detectors on youtube and watch some of his videos on the Minelab X-Terra 705. It has helped me get the hang of the machine along with figuring out different setting and I’m still learning it every time I go out with it. Oh I also upload videos of me using my detector. GL&HH
Enjoyable as always... 🖒
Thanks.
Great video! I really enjoy when you are using the metal detector. Did you save and pan the material you dug out of that hole? Thank you. Keep up the good work.
It was to far back to the creek and getting to late to do any panning. I think the material I was digging out has gold in it. The gravel in there looks very good to me. Thanks - Gary
thanks Gary
Thanks for the support!
gday from oz,that gully looks promising great quality vid .
Good to hear from you and thank you!
lol I'd take your December over ours in Alaska any day. Keep 'er comin, sir!
Right now its 30 in the morning and the high is around 65, probably the same as your June. LOL Stay warm and thank you!
Oh I would love to be able to do some dredging up in Alaska during the winter time. Not to many people brave or stupid enough to head out in the brutal Alaskan weather just to find that elusive yellow rock. I just might be the latter one, 😂.
Buena caza. Un saludo, amigo.
Gracias!
Would it be possible to introduce artificial crevices to catch gold as it's washed along?? ie. semi-permanently in position and you just lift & clean them out every so often? If they were camouflaged as rocks they'd be very hard to find by others. Only you know exactly where they were precisely GPS situated..?
great nugget
Very nice nugget
Thanks.
What luphole do you have. I can not use a high banker in so cal
Wondering why you don't use a pinpointer for tight places like that? Liked the video. Makes waiting for spring easier or tougher. Depending on what day it is. Thanks for the trip.
I have never gotten used to the pinpointer. Most of the time I end up walking off with out them, then I have to back track and find it. The depth of detection is so shallow, especially on gold, To me its not worth packing around. Thank you - Gary
Two Toes I hear you on that one too. After losing my pinpointer once and being able to track it down. I now keep it attached to me via tie off sting.
I loved that video!.... What would have happened if you used an AT Gold?... Would you have been able to detect all those targets? I also have an Infinium with all the coils, would that have worked?
I have never ran the AT, so I'm not much help on that one. Thanks - Gary
What are those boots you got? They look like they do the job.
It's still looking good
What kind of Metal detector do you use?
Love your videos! Do you ever do classes or seminars in gold panning or detecting?
Not enough time! If I ever retire, it is something I will thought to. Thanks - Gary
Determined.
Yeah that old iron, well made for back in the day ,what they had. throw you for a loop but she would that really good tone sounds like something nice but it's just not too crumbly crappy iron they make today.
On the bedrock underneath one of those boulders in the old gulley, that is where a pile of gold is.
That's what I am thinking - just a little dynamite will do! Thanks - Gary
Maybe just a Sierra Blaster? Do you own or use one?
Hahaha.. now your talking...lol
Two Toes or a come along winch/turfor winch, not sure what you call them in America.
Your videos are mint!
Thank you very much.
nice picker good job keep it up
Thank you.
Not a big haul. Nice picker. Still better than a good day at work.
Any day in the hills is a great day! Thanks - Gary
I always wonder what Gary had for lunch.
Nice video. What camera are you using?
Canon 80D, Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. Do you ever prospect an area after a wildfire gone through it. I hear gold can appear after the ground has been burned up loosing the soil being able to release some trapped gold down to the river. Is that something you have tried or willing to try? Again thanks for sharing. GL&HH
You get a lot more run off in a burn area. I have done a lot of hiking in burn areas, it is easer to see old workings and old camp sites after a fire. You can get a better lay of the land when the brush is gone. Thanks - Gary
Any future on part B for the highbanking and this old channel? Also really curious to see your metal detector in an old hydraulic site... ...you've talked about it a couple of times, but I don't think you've done a video on them yet.
I went up to check into a favorite spot... ...see if the snow had melted off... ...and I found someone had parked a truck in the middle of the road and set it on fire... ...no idea how long it's going to take the sheriff to tow that one out. Some people.
Question for you though. If you were going to introduce a friend to panning, would you take them somewhere they can get a little fine gold in every pan, or somewhere with a chance of bigger gold, but might go home empty handed?
Got to wait until the water drops before I can get back to that spot, I'm guessing late May - June. I'm going to get to that hydraulic pit this year if it kills me! I would take someone new to where they could get a little gold in each pan. After they get there confidence up on the panning, then take them to where they can find bigger gold.
Awesome, Thanks!
Gary,
Please explain why you did not continue to pan the rest of the gravel in that 1st catch when you found small gold pieces in both the 1st and 2nd pan??
For times sake making video?
I am asking because I would have panned all the fine sand and Gravel in the event that there was more small gold flakes...
Or do you have a reason...thanks man
It takes a lot of flower gold to make any weight. If that is all that is there, most of the time I will move on to where I might find heaver gold.
Sometimes ya gotta work off your hinny if ya wanna find some good shinny..
Gary, great day. That last target sure didnt sound like iron to me. Sure that wasn't a golden spike, partner?
I agree, It sounded like a good target to me. That's why I thought sure I had another nugget. When I go back in I have plans to check that hole one more time. Thanks - Gary
Semper fi. Good video.
All the way! Thanks - Gary
