I think I know where that spot is! lol Nice piece. You need to locate good spots with a lot of over burden, then put - don't dig here signs, wait a couple of days then come back in and pick up the gold!
Nice chunky piece Jeff! I’d say a penny weight!! I also think that other piece is mercury covered gold !! Them claim jumpers helped you find that piece forsure !!
Good morning jeff,nice piece of metal, looked cold out there ,stay warm my friend!!! Pretty sure the only reason that store has ice cream is because of you fellas!!
Limited edition T-Shirt right there! Great pieces! All those little ones add up!!! When it came time to test it I thought Gary was just going to put it in his mouth...
Good morning I think you have been to that spot before. Nice gold for both of you !! Time to sharpen your crevice tool, it looked like a rock hammer point in the close up shot.
Good morning! Great video guys! I love that you called Gary the Sensei. The half gram nugget was pretty sweet too, very deserving of ice cream sandwiches ❤! And I subscribed to Kellan's channel.😊😊
@@Smithsgold Someday, you should bring that SDC on a trip here and I will plunk you into a spot with small wire silver. I bet the SDC would excel at it. ;-)
I hammered out 72 couple days ago we used to do that all the time and One a little over 15 Penny weight The largest of this year so far What the F no rain I count on that rain cleans cleans my ditch out
Great piece i am also wondering how would someone know they were claim jumping 🤔 i have never been on a claim but if i went out thinking i was in government land what would alert me to a claim
Having a hard time getting kellens channel in search , 😅 it keeps bringing me back to your channel with him in it. Is there a title of a video of his I could use ? That usually works I'd like to help his algorithm
You have to take out the spaces, all one word but that search doesn’t work well either. Easiest, you can go to the “more” link in this video’s description and Gary has a direct link. ( Yellowfevergoldprospecting )
What or where ccan i find good info on identifing claims and their boundries? It seems everywhere has a claim, is private property or you have to cross private property to get there after a 2 mile hike
BLM office in Sacramento has all the information on file and you can also go to the county clerk’s office and check there too but BLM is better there are also apts on your phone that will help out also
Signs and BLM office in Sacramento has the claim records the county clerk’s office also has records but there not very users friendly and there are also a few on line sites too
I have a detector question if you have any suggestions or info to point me in the right direction. I'm trying to find something halfway decent in the 200 - 500 range. I found a like new XTERRA 705 for 200 but didn't find great reviews. Seen Equinox 600 for a bit more with better reviews but still not great. I know both are Minelab, I'm not stuck on any brand just want the best for what I have to spend and not waste money. I'm in the Central California Valley & hope to "nugget hunt" but plan to "treasure hunt" also when I don't have the time to get in the hills. Thanks & good luck this year!
@Smithsgold thanks a bunch. I'll start checking craigslist offerup etc. I appreciate any suggestions. I've always been interested in prospecting and old west history, jumping into this has some very real "do or die" health consequences for me and I think having a genuine interest will be helpful as a motivator. Thanks again
One is supposed to check online or call BLM to verify that an area is NOT claimed or active. Claim Jumping is a Federal Crime, it carries stiff penalties if convicted.
Yes. I’m a newbie, so I’m sure this is a stupid question. First of all I’m a fairly new member to the GPAA. I don’t really know anyone. I have panned areas in the Sierras off and on for over 20 yrs. I’ve never seen any kind of specific markings anywhere I’ve been, never been ran off, so with all that said, how do you know an area has a claim on it? I’m assuming they have to mark it clearly.
Most are Marked with signs but people take them down if they can get to them easy. BLM office in Sacramento can tell you if an area is claimed or not plus there are on line apts that can help
Claim Jumpers? I guess no one knows how to check online for active claims. You gotta watch out and put signs, up the ass, everywhere! Even people, who know better, will come on to your claims. When they are caught, they’ll tell you that they “didn’t see any signs” or that “your mine site looked abandoned”. Liars. I got cameras and signs now. No one can miss them. I would prosecute to the limit of the law. Think about security. Some people really suck. Good gold hunting. Take care.
That 4500 better than the SDC and he’s got the good coil on it is it modified? Got to use headphones or won’t work especially with that river making noise what. Got to keep a stable your adjustments then don’t beat it up like the other detectors it will post right through everything so you can float it. It will charge up them big big deep nuggets
I think I know where that spot is! lol
Nice piece. You need to locate good spots with a lot of over burden, then put - don't dig here signs, wait a couple of days then come back in and pick up the gold!
LOL! 😆
I think I’m going to try that!! LOL !!!
Did they ever find any Platinum at that spot? Platinum is hard and heavy and resists nitric.
I’m not sure I should probably look into it thanks let me know when your ready to go out
@@Smithsgold Still a bit too cold - snow on the ground in my backyard.
@@ChrisRalph looks like we are going to get some rain this week
FIRE ASS CLAIM JUMPERS!!! I KNOW WHAT CLAIM THAT IS!!! YOUR FADED!!!
LOL !!!!! Kings Royal Hard Cream Soda !!!!
I've been subbed to Kellen. Glad you guys are still getting out and rescuing that metal from the ground!
Heavy Pans!!!
Still getting out I try for at least once a week !!!! Thanks

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
@YellowFeverProspecting Absolutely bud!
Heavy Pans!!!
Nice piece jeff To bad about the jumpers. That’s a tough spot for that. Have a good week bud.
It's definitely a tough spot, but I'll keep trying! Don’t work to hard
@@Smithsgold were they actually claim jumpers?
Nice chunky piece Jeff!
I’d say a penny weight!!
I also think that other piece is mercury covered gold !!
Them claim jumpers helped you find that piece forsure !!
I’ll take it !! LOL

You need the Gold Posse to go in and clean up those claim jumpers
Let me know when you want to take a road trip !!!
Good editing and entertaining video, I think you'll get popular
Thanks
You just found some platinum my friend. Pewter!!! Oh No!
I thought it might be but turned out to just be pewter !!!!
Good morning
I think you have been to that spot before.
Nice gold for both of you !!
Time to sharpen your crevice tool, it looked like a rock hammer point in the close up shot.
You’re exactly correct !!!! Trying to get Gary to just weld me a new tip on it !!!! Hope you have a great day !!!!
Yes they can help
You , when you go to dig the hole to throw them in , you never know you just might find gold there .
LOL !!!!!!!
Morning, that’s a nice piece 👌. And I looked up yellow fever prospecting but it didn’t show up for me.
@yellowfeverprospecting Your Welcome 😁

Don't let them claim jumpers get away with your lead and square nail stash! Nice chunk!
Too late !!!! LOL !!!!! Thanks for watching
Great title for a video. Enjoyed the adventure! Nice editing and B-Roll and of course the hunk of gold.
Thanks my friend it’s not Silver but I’ll take it !!! LOL
@@Smithsgold Someday, you should bring that SDC on a trip here and I will plunk you into a spot with small wire silver. I bet the SDC would excel at it. ;-)
I’d love to and I just got the Minelab Manticore for coins and relics
@@Smithsgold The Manticore is the best detector for here on silver ore. I still use a NOX800 but the Manticore is better
What's a "B-roll" ?
Damn claim jumpers
Yep
I hammered out 72 couple days ago we used to do that all the time and One a little over 15 Penny weight The largest of this year so far
What the F no rain I count on that rain cleans cleans my ditch out
Sweet
We have claim jumpers here too. But what can you do when it's public land?
Your name in nail letters. Awesome ⚒👍🤠
Call the sheriff office
@@Smithsgold 🤣
Great piece i am also wondering how would someone know they were claim jumping 🤔 i have never been on a claim but if i went out thinking i was in government land what would alert me to a claim

Hello Jeff. Curious as to how someone can tell if a site is claimed.
Signs and BLM office in Sacramento has the claim records the county clerk’s office also has records but there not very users friendly and there are also a few on line sites too

I'm in the Central California Valley & hope to "nugget hunt" but plan to "treasure hunt" also when I don't have the time to get in the hills. Thanks & good luck this year!
For doing both I'd look at the Minelab Equinox 800 Might be able to find a used one for a good price

@@Smithsgoldagreed fantastic versatile machine
@ good luck !!!!
Do you place signage stating an active mining claim ? If I saw a sign, I would move down stream until i saw no sign's 100 yards upstream.
Yes they don’t care
Not being rude just genuinely asking, do you not check claim maps before heading into new areas? Placer claims are generally 1320' x 660' or larger.
One is supposed to check online or call BLM to verify that an area is NOT claimed or active. Claim Jumping is a Federal Crime, it carries stiff penalties if convicted.

And I have checked the state sites prior to going out, but I don’t really trust them for accuracy.

Yeah it must suck not knowing what they got
Hopefully Poison Oak !!!!
Claim jumpers didn’t finish the job! Half assed it 😂
Yep !!!!
I think every tweaked in the world has claim jumped that spot lol
I think your right 😢
Just goes to show you. That digging for gold is more profitable than metal detecting
Sometimes it is !!!
Claim jumpers had a few of those.
Edit can find your sons channel for some reason would gladly sub.

Thanks all good ideas 👍🏻
And for gods sake don’t say your getting bullets in a stream bed. The state will outlaw and tax that as well. 😂🤣
Sounds like a high capacity stream bed on top of it 😂
And add a Fee to it also !!!
LOL
You are going to have enough nails to build a small house
I hope so have you seen the price of Nails ??? LOL
That 4500 better than the SDC and he’s got the good coil on it is it modified? Got to use headphones or won’t work especially with that river making noise what.

GET RID OF THE METAL DETECTOR! Only old fashioned panning for gold is allowed
I need to do a video with just the the pan good idea
You are starting to sound like dan hard
I hope Not

I do both that’s for watching 👍🏻
