well i had a pretty good hehehe when you beat the skunk(jeff) and i heard the neenere neener. love the humor ..
one last trip to the Hills in 2023 !!!!!
Goodmorning! Nice Gold, oh Jeff. Thanks for sharing..
Neener neener 👌😁. Great job as always Gary.
Mornin' Gary! That was some nice gold!!! Thanks for sharing such a great day in the Sierras! Pretty stinkin' cool you got out before the rain and snow hit.
Hope you have a few more videos stashed away that you can dig up.
Enjoy the rain. Stay warm. Snicker at Jeff😂
LOL !!!!!
I love the ending... nice battery update. haha
Morning Gary; nice spot ! Nice video ! and nice gold ! Have a nice week !,,
Morning. Want to prospect - have to work. Such is life!
Word of the day Nice. Lol
Evenin gentlemen. 🤙🇺🇸
Great job we worked that area pretty tough and you still kicked butt up there
Nice to see you left few target for Gary Bennett 😅👊💪🇺🇸⚒️⚒️
@@SECRETCREEKPROSPECTING1776 Gary is the man.... He's got some serious skills and knowledge
I was just up near Robinson's Flat yesterday with tons of rain and snow. You got up there in the nick of time Gary! Glad you found something 😄 🪙 ⛏️⚒️
Liked the battery order announcement slip in
Good morning y'all
👍🇺🇸⚒️🪨⚒️🏴☠️👍
Morning!
Good Morning All
Good Morning !!!
Beautiful Nugglets Gary! The Red Fir trees are so beautiful! Thank you, Lord for the Rain!
Enjoyed your video with my lunch! Dan Brent
Good morning!
Ground with almost no trash,and finding a gram of gold! ( that’s a fun day)
A nice video to watch on a wet Monday morning, thank you !!!
Good morning Y'all, good morning Gary. Heavy pans to all. ... ⛏⚒⛏
Nice day in the mountains , and those rocks yielded up some sweet sweet gold ,👍 Gotta be happy with that 👌, YeeeHaaa baby !!!! Cheers Ned . ✌Great way to keep the beer cold too . 💪
You gotta respect Gary putting conglomerate in his mouth just so we can see if there's gold in it.
LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Needs another Beer
It'd be nice for 10 minutes out of my day to go there in the Sierra Nevada mountains smell the fresh air in the pines in the water just everything about it have a good day. Thanks for great video Gary
Nice choice in beer! One of my favorites
Gary you are suck a good man, I mean to leave BedrockBennett a cold beer in his spot is a touch of class! 🤣
Digging just digging !
A pic you can swing dig them cracks out when you’re following that bedrock!
They will lead you to the goodies!
There’s been a lot of World class detector operators over them pits.
Digging is definitely the right way to figure out the right direction.
Big gold it’s deeper in them spots the small ones will lead you but you must dig!
There’s always a random in the Odd spots but the cracks were there looks like there are no cracks Tree brush have a tendency to grow in them cracks.
Not very many targets is a good sign it means it has been pounded it’s cleaned up so now you can find a good spot use a different digger hunt them cracks you’ll find a good one Use your gold knowledge and you have to dig them cracks out right where you’re at at least a foot and a half if not two the small gold will lead you to the big gold.
There’s no such thing as easy gold !
Sometimes on your last day of dredging you accidentally find a good hit that makes up for the whole season!
You should tell that story sometimes you got pictures It’s a pretty cool story awesome pictures and a great adventure
You're trying to teach the Teacher?
Thought you were going to say
“Today im all alone..because this has become Jeff’s favorite spot. Because last time we were here, he beat me. But! Jeff couldn’t make it today..because hes in the trunk”
🤣😂
Nice one Gary. Nothing beats a day in the sierras chasing the shiny
Good morning glad you're finding it, we are flooded out in Scotland
I'm hoping we get a bit of flooding here, need to move the boulders around and stir up some gold.
Hey its jan 22 2024 good day , been waiting, staying with ya
Morning Gary, best of luck to you my friend. Thanks for sharing your passion with us. I know this is going to be good one. 👊💪✌️😅🇺🇸⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️
Thanks 👍
Good morning all ..... Gary, you're the only gold channel I watch ..... because it's simply the best!! Hard to beat a day in the woods 🪵
...well, gary and jeff and todd...💛...
Thanks@@haroldtakahashi8875
Nice Video Gary. I appreciate the content. Makes me want to take more care to ensure I crush the conglomerate targets.
Cool tertiary gravel nuggets, thanks...
Mornin'. Neener neener, Mr. Smith!!
Yep I've been hearing about this trip for weeks now !!!!! LOL
neener neener
BOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@TwoToes
nice gold good day out ,yep that's awesome. thank you for sharing the adventure
That's how I go trout fishing, a backpack full of beer, a small little case with extra hooks and sinkers some small red worms and when I get to the hole if there's snow I put my beer in it if not I put it in the water. I'll do the same thing when I start looking for gold here in a couple weeks.
💛...well, just like the tesla, maybe the cold is bad for the batteries...?...
Areet man. There's probably more conglomerate around there. It could of come from one big bit that got scattered when they were moving it around but didn't see gold so left it 💚💛❤️
I know the SDC is a great machine and for what terrain you are working in it’s probably perfect. I just want to say, I sold my SDC and bought a GPX6000, it’s a great machine for punching down deeper. Would save a lot of digging, except for nuggets.
They aren’t cheap but hey, if you love this hobby you may as well get the most out of it while health allows. The years go way too fast to miss out on the fun. 🍻 Mark..
Good Detector's !!!!
I also sold my SDC and bought the 6000. It is much lighter and comes with wireless headphones. My wrists don't give out after a few hours of detecting, as they did when I swung the SDC. I prefer running it with the Goldhawk 5" x10" coil. I turn 70 this year and hope to use this machine for many years.
Sweet !!!!!!!!!!@@kenmorrill3774
You can only neener neener Jeff if you lots of nails and lead…. Lol one gram is definitely cool and interesting that it was mostly in conglomerate… thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼
Needs more Lead !!!!!! LOL
1 gram SWEET !!
I'm surprised you found any gold without Jeff there to pick up the lead and nails
He got them all last trip. lol
I said awwww..when u lost the target..been there! Next!!!!
Good job, turned out to be nice gold.
Awesome as always! stay warm up there lol.
Nice love the education
Love your videos man
1g thats pretty good before the snow. Down under we are full on into summer. Just need to get out and have a go. Cheers Jeff. ❤it 😊
Thanks for sharing! :)
Over a gram of gold... I'm okay with that!
Thanks for sharing
🙏❤️🌲
A gram is an awesome December day. And now we have enough storming to shake some good stuff loose for spring!
Thanks Gary. Nice Adventure!
Bigfoot’s missing ?
The sun beat down on the dusty trail, cicadas buzzing a drowsy tune. Gary "the goat", a sun-baked prospector with a beard like tumbleweed, squinted at the faded map. "Bigfoot's Bounty," it boasted, a hand-drawn scrawl marking a hidden creek choked with moss. Legend had it, the elusive Sasquatch staked this claim years ago, then vanished to a wedding vacation.
Gary’s' vacation plan? Strike it rich in Bigfoot's absence
Exactly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
@Smithsgold
Bigfoot’s Guard Dog
“Mans best friend “
The sun beat down on the dusty trail, cicadas buzzing a drowsy tune. Gary "the goat" Honan, a sun-baked prospector with a beard like tumbleweed, squinted at the faded map. "Bigfoot's Bounty," it boasted, a hand-drawn scrawl marking a hidden creek choked with moss. Legend had it, the elusive Sasquatch staked this claim years ago, then vanished to a wedding vacation.
Gary’s' vacation plan? Strike it rich in Bigfoot's absence.
With a grunt, he hefted his rusty pan and pushed through the thicket. The silence hummed with anticipation. Suddenly, a twig snapped. Gary froze, heart hammering. Was it Bigfoot, back early from his piña colada bender? Then, lumbering into view, came... a brown dog. A massive, slobbery Saint Bernard, panting like a bellows.
"Hey there, fella," Gary said, cautiously lowering his pan. The dog nosed his hand, tail wagging. Maybe Bigfoot had a pet? The thought was dashed when Gary spotted a worn collar bearing the name "Bruno." Relief washed over him, mingled with a flicker of disappointment. No Bigfoot, no fortune.
Bruno, however, seemed intent on leading him deeper into the woods. He trotted ahead, stopping to nudge a patch of ferns. Curiosity piqued, Gary dug. His shovel struck something hard, metallic. Pulling it free, his breath caught. A rusted iron box, heavy and adorned with intricate carvings. This wasn't Bigfoot's buried stash of nuggets, but something else, something older, something… magical.
He pried open the box, a wave of cool air hitting him. Inside, nestled on velvet, lay a golden amulet, pulsing with an inner light. Bruno whined, pawing at the box. As Gary touched the amulet, visions flooded his mind - whispered secrets of hidden veins, maps etched in starlight, whispers of a forgotten gold mine.
His vacation, meant for sun and sand, had taken a wild turn. Maybe Bigfoot wouldn't mind sharing his claim, after all. Bruno led the way, the amulet humming like a compass. Deeper they went, sunlight filtering through ancient trees, until they reached a hidden grotto. A waterfall crashed, revealing a tunnel mouth glittering with gold.
Gary couldn't believe his eyes. Bigfoot's Bounty wasn't gold nuggets, it was a secret mine, an untold wealth guarded by legend and a friendly Saint Bernard. As he filled his pan with glittering ore, Bruno nudged his hand. He looked to see the dog holding a single, massive nugget, a silent offering.
Gary grinned, feeling a kinship with the absent Sasquatch. Maybe vacation plans and legends don't always go as expected, but sometimes, the best treasures are found in the most unexpected ways. After all, who needs a east coast wedding when you have a loyal dog, a magical amulet, and a gold mine to explore?
Gary’s best vacation .
Sorry Jeff ...
Lol 😂
Unfinished *

Neener neener Jeff!
I think a Gram of Gold is Great ! That's about $50.00 US, Buy a New Hat then think about the 6000 . Sorry, I've got my own Lucky Stained hats But ....
GL&HH Greg

👍
That would be a camping spot, when nothing else , nice area.
Poor Jeff, always gettin whooped
The East Coast was nice !!!!! No Gold or lead though
neener neener
Alright it's been awhile.
🤘🏻🧔🏻🤘🏻
That will teach Jeff to attend a wedding. Geez lol
😎
With all the small gold, have you panned some of the gravely-dirt to see how many fines may be present?
Pretty nice weather for the end of December. I know you don’t like wearing gloves, but knee pads were invented for a reason. Aloha
For old men, I might need them in 20 years or so. I'll bet the weather is better where you are.
LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@TwoToes
Neener neener Jeff 😂
Good to see you Two Toes , just 1 question howd you get that nickname ? Lol I know back in my CB raidio days every one called each other by our handles, I was Little T still am here in the hills and back roads of Kentucky , by the way I’m the 1 ask you about writing a book with pictures ha ha good luck and be safe out there
The whole RUclips idea was started by my son Joe. After he got out of the Marines he built a rock crawler, every now and then I put a picture of it in the intro. The original plan was to make a channel that had 4 wheeling and prospecting. The two toe idea came from the fact that a mountain goat can go anywhere, hence the goat and the name two toes. Joe's wife, is in the Air force and got stationed in Omaha, Neb. There are no mountains in Nebraska, so the plan kinda fell apart. I was having fun making the videos so decided to keep going. I kept the Two Toes name, because I like it and who knows, someday I might get a 4-wheeler!
Beat the skunk 😎.
Can you please do more Gold Panni 12:51 ng and NOT detecting! I just love when people are doing panning for gold not detecting for gold
Going to do one on panning only, if the weather will cooperate.
I know where your going !!!! @@TwoToes
Morning
Morning Mr. B
Morning
Mornin Bennett 👋✌️👊💪🇺🇸⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️
@@TwoToes morning all
Morning, It's raining, I have gold fever, I'm watching Gary dig up gold. Go away rain, I need to dig some holes.
The Winter Goat
The wind whispers secrets through frosted pines,
Boxing Day hush on snow-drifted vines.
Gary the goat, beard dusted with white,
Hoofs crunch a rhythm, a lone prospector's gait.
Jeff's Spot, they called it, a legend of yore,
Where nuggets like Christmas baubles once poured.
But years had passed since the gold rush's gleam,
Leaving whispers and dreams in the frozen stream.
Gary, undaunted, with a twinkle in his eye,
Clambered through boulders, a whisperer of sky.
His horns, like divining rods, tapped the earth,
Seeking the murmur of buried Gold’s birth
**Unfinished**

Seems like time flys, but look at that pile of dirt. No such thing as retirement, if your work is fun.
Yeah Gary, because Jeff beat you dor once on that spot he'll be digging that place till it looks like an open pit mine haha.😅
Yep !!!!!!!
@Smithsgold Yeah Jeff, I can just picture this: "Grandpa Jeff, will you please tell us a story?" "Sure kids. Did I ever tell you the one about the time I beat 'ol Gary on the gold?" "Please Grandpa, not that one again!"
BWAHAHAHA!🤣
LOL !!!!!!!@@landofsaguaros8330
How far do you go back from the river bank? About as far back as you might see a where the water traveled at one time or another while it was way up?
That detector is really sensitive,.
You've been doing this a long time, I never have. But I'd be tempted to take a "hot rock" home and wash it off and see if it looks likely, and if it does, bust it open and see if there's gold in it. Whaddaya think?
Do you sell them?
TOUCHDOWN GARY
Hi Gary! Do you still seek your crevicing tools? I bought both sizes and left them shoved into a stream bank in Alaska. Sucks to be me.
Have them in the store - honans-mining-supplies.myshopify.com/
