TWO TOES. there's a few of you guys that go out and bust your butts hunting and teaching about gold Thanks !!! for living our dreams for those of us that can't get out due to health and other things ,about a month ago I won a small pan , 30x loop and a small bag of panning dirt it had some fossils and GOLD all small stuff but with the 30 X loop they look like nuggets I have spent a few hours of dream come true time just like your videos !Thanks TANK
I have been wanting to go out for bigger gold for a while now but really didn't know what to look for, as I'm used to going for flood gold. Thanks! Now I can go out with this knowledge and see if I can find me some chunky stuff! Have an awesome week and see you on the RUclips soon!
You are quite the superstar Gary! You work really hard, long hours at it; you deserve more! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. You are really appreciated.
you know Gary , i thoroughly enjoy your shows. thanks for the information on finding bigger gold. i listen and sometimes watch parts over again until i get all the secrets.
Gary my little pee brain sees a problem ? dang it Gary .... your like a tourist attraction thru your videos ...You have added 24,999 + 1 ( me ) more people wandering thru the forest and rivers looking for ???? an old goat climbing boulders with a camera and gold pan !!! lol 😂 As ur #’s of subs . Climbs higher ??? Your going to have to build stadium seating on the river banks ???? I can hear Jeff yelling out “ Popcorn , hot dogs , roasted peanuts ! “ lol 😂🤔😂😂😂
You are awesome! I'm in Dallas Texas and only wish I lived near a location where I can start prospecting. Never do it and always been dreaming of getting into it as a hobby. Thanks again for your vids and great lessons/tips.
Thanks for the video . There was a time when I would hike for hrs. just to fish a spot like that for native brook trout . Got the big C. about 4 yrs ago , now I'm lucky to swing a metal detector in the town park . And yes I'm envious , keep making these videos I love watching them . Thanks again !
Gary, I havnt watched you in a while and after watching this I wonder why! Thanks, you are awesome and you always manage to give me a smile or a chuckle or two, and you make me jealous.....peace brother
Gary, I watch a ton of videos about finding gold and I'm a newbie to it down here in Arizona. You're videos are so very well put together and informative. The time you put into teaching on your videos is simply outstanding. I love that there's no fluff or hoopla, simply straight forward knowledge and teaching. I just subscribed to your channel. I've been finding flood gold in the washes but it is a ton of work vacuuming and cleaning the bedrock. I'm ready to start hunting for something larger and this video is awesome information. Thank you for what you do, I'm a fan.
I’ve really enjoyed watching all your videos Gary, good to see you getting bigger gold again! Your helicopter/sniping videos were super exciting to watch, thank you for all the effort you’ve put into making them
Love your videos! I spent this weekend up in the Downieville area trying to get some larger gold myself but walked away with almost nothing but a busted power steering system from the crazy dirt roads out that way haha. I'll find a 1 gram+ nugget one of these trips!
Standing with my sign in hand at the end of ur driveway >> “ Plumber will work” for free “ for one trip to the hills with Two Toes !!! Nice video Gary ....
Standing beside Tdiron at the end of your driveway with a sign that reads - Plumber's assistant willing to work for one trip into the hills , ( yes I'll do the Flange work lol).
@hoghenergyog ??? Well replumb the whole place for him !!! 10k increase in his homes value should get us ??? at least a “ Good mornin all “ if he don’t call the cops on us fer loitering??? lol 😂
Congrats, Gary, on those nuggets! I absolutely love your videos, so informative, and so exciting to see the gold finds! Thanks for all your efforts in making these great vids!
I’m gonna have to start hitting the big gold too!! I never thought I’d be tired of flood gold but after seeing those bigger peices you’ve sold me to dig lower :D I like that you showed the heavy dark gravels in your pan. That’s a top knotch tip for people who don’t have the experience to know ... I swear by the ironstone gravels lol. That is for another awesome video to hold me over til I can fly up there and scratch around 🤙
Gary, I've said it before, but you are such a wonderful teacher. I really think you missed your calling. Keep up the good work my friend and may God richly Bless you and your family.
Well, you really nailed that one! Nice chunky gold. You had a very good day. Man that river is fast. There's some pretty big bolders it moves. Heavy heavies. Thanks Gary, really enjoyed.
4.83 grams, nice haul for doing something you enjoy. You're the man! Inspiring even on doing things that are less than desirable, like fixing plumbing under the house! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
_"Guru"_ is the Sanskrit word (roughly) for Masterly Expert Teacher who Dispenses Knowledge. I'm thinking that no other word will do. From here in UK, we say _Thank you Guru Gary, for dedicating so much of your time, both in the hills and on "the next morning", to patiently and skillfully sharing the biggest treasure of all : knowledge._ Thank you.
On a trip to Alaska, Juneau, up on Gold Creek my plan was about the same as yours. I looked up on high bank shelves that trapped gravel. I found 3 pieces of gold in 10 minutes. I had to pack up and get back to the cruise ship! I had to turn in my pack shovel to the pursers office because they thought it could be used as a weapon. (well, so can a bottle of catchup, I guess). I had some gold to show off at the dinner table. 2005.
Awesome teaching Gary. Sometime show the lay of the land and your hole in camera so we can see how the gold gets trapped in certain zones. I want to get you some smaller tweezers for those small cracks!
Love the education you put into your videos - thank you! I'm hoping to get my family out and panning soon... and actually find something (so far all our trips just end up playing in the creek without any gold) - still fun, but no color :)
Awesome Gary , nice score ,you gotta be happy with that , excellent vid ,thanks for taking us along .and i didn't even get tired after all that ,lol , ohh and while your under the house doing the plumbing , maybe take prospecting gear with you , cause there just might be a little gold nugget or two that fell through a cracked floorboard ,ha ha ha .cheers .
A big thank you. I’m certain I will attempt this as a hobby in my retirement. Probably take a trip out to the Rockies a couple times to see what it’s like. Thanks again.
Well gosh Gary if your so enthusiastic about fixing that plumbing I have a hole slew of stuff to do that you can come get enthusiastic over! LOL Another great video and I look forward to your next one.
Really nice pieces Two Toes. There is nothing like that here, what you have and can do by looking for gold i mean It is really cool. No gold to be found here. At least i never seen or heard of it around here and I'm 50 this year. Love to be beside you looking for gold. Dreaming is gona have to do for now.GOOD TIMES
New subscriber Two Toes as I found you today. Me, I'm a 72 year old guy who used to play in the gold fields as it is where you find it not how much as we have god days and great days and the bad days are when we can't go. I think about how many pieces had to go over that rock for one to call home. I hope you find a ton of it some day, who knows, you might be driving a new rig yet
It is a wonderful video..i love the place..fresh water..fresh air..fresh gold..congratulation for finding some colors..i got excited too. I hope you will find more colors..take care..God bless your venture..Amen
Congrats on the nuggies. Good job! What you did show is that there can be nuggets in canyons and smooth bedrock. The old timers believed gold got crushed and flushed out of canyons and that smooth bedrock was a poor trap. They would have avoided such spots.
Now this is about all one could ask for in a RUclips gold-gettin' video -- wonderfully educational, and dang entertaining, what with all that chunkiness. 👍
That was awesome !!! I was just thinking the same thing about that crusty washer and low and behold you were sure to mention it. Great bit of advise sir !!!! Great take for the day too
I go to Arizona every year, but I'm on my motorcycle. I'm planning in a few years (when I retire), making two trips one on the bike and a prospecting trip in the truck!
Two toes watching your videos helped me find a new outdoor hobby besides hunting or fishing, I love prospecting now! Extremely knowledgeable and interesting to watch, every video. I would love to read a book of your memoirs/prospecting how to’s.
Hey Gary just want to thank you again since you've been making videos I've been finding gold true story and as a matter of fact this afternoon I'm taking the vacpack I bought from you about six seven years ago and cleaning up an area where I found seven pickers/little nuggets best day ever!! Lol all in a row up on a high bank with my metal detector
Thanks for the great advice. Its so expensive to travel and takes time and places to go. Yet prospecting is fun and something I wished I did more of even just to get out in the outdoors.
Nice finds Gary. Doing that every day, that's a pretty good living! I love your vids, so much information and ways of doing things. Please keep them coming just like this one :)
Might be a couple stretches of river somewhere in Scotland, but I don't guess anyone's going to draw you a map. :-) www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-44965554
I really enjoy your videos for the gold they produce but most especially for the knowledge you impart.
Viewer 1,623 approves this video bigly! Nice result on that nugget quest, Thank You as always for filming it Gary!
lol - Thanks
He’s smiling because he’s increasing his Gold take on me !!!!!

Dry, self deprecating humour, mixed with masterful, hard won insight. Thanks Gary for another entertaining and informative adventure.
Two toes gets more gold in 1 day than I do in one year.... so depressing but thanks for sharing. Its videos like this that keep me searching
I have been wanting to go out for bigger gold for a while now but really didn't know what to look for, as I'm used to going for flood gold. Thanks! Now I can go out with this knowledge and see if I can find me some chunky stuff! Have an awesome week and see you on the RUclips soon!
In this one video you have explained everything that has taken me months to observe in the wild, and then added some more! Thank you!
Nice take Gary! I love seeing you smile! 😁
You are quite the superstar Gary! You work really hard, long hours at it; you deserve more! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. You are really appreciated.
Gary you really know your gold! Enjoyed watching No BS down to business smart man doing what he loves in Retirement.
I'm still working, that's why sometimes I don't get my video done on time. Problem is I still love what I do for a living!
you know Gary , i thoroughly enjoy your shows. thanks for the information on finding bigger gold. i listen and sometimes watch parts over again until i get all the secrets.
One of my favorite videos so far! What a great find! I don't think you can get this wisdom from any book. Thanks for sharing Gary! :)

I agree with Top Cat,you are a detective when it comes to finding gold.
One of your best videos as far as describing what’s on your mind when reading that river. Almost 5 grams too, helluva day Gary!!

Good morning Gary and friends!

Wait until your my age! lol

I'm working on just that with the drone. Late this Fall, should have it done.
Love the education you put into your videos - thank you! I'm hoping to get my family out and panning soon... and actually find something (so far all our trips just end up playing in the creek without any gold) - still fun, but no color :)
Uncle you are more honest then the professor s of colleges ..Love you
Awesome Gary , nice score ,you gotta be happy with that , excellent vid ,thanks for taking us along .and i didn't even get tired after all that ,lol , ohh and while your under the house doing the plumbing , maybe take prospecting gear with you , cause there just might be a little gold nugget or two that fell through a cracked floorboard ,ha ha ha .cheers .
Funny you say that. I will be doing a video late this fall on a lost I/2 oz. of gold - more on that later.
Drop water DROP!!! Can't wait until Winter here. Thanks for the videos.
I think it's time to Snipe !!!!!!!
A big thank you. I’m certain I will attempt this as a hobby in my retirement. Probably take a trip out to the Rockies a couple times to see what it’s like. Thanks again.
Well gosh Gary if your so enthusiastic about fixing that plumbing I have a hole slew of stuff to do that you can come get enthusiastic over! LOL Another great video and I look forward to your next one.
I watch a lot of these videos and your videos are the most helpful and informative. Thank you
Best lesson in panning I've watched. It all made sense. You've won Me as a fan .thankyou
OK, now were talking and it's about time that this season get into full gear, I loved every minute of this video. Great job you're amazing
Really nice pieces Two Toes. There is nothing like that here, what you have and can do by looking for gold i mean It is really cool. No gold to be found here. At least i never seen or heard of it around here and I'm 50 this year. Love to be beside you looking for gold. Dreaming is gona have to do for now.GOOD TIMES
Great idea for new video!!! The flood gets you hooked and the chunky hangs with the lead!!! Love the Gold and knowledge!!!

Just top class insight to finding the flow line of gold in a river ! Thankyou really for sharing your deep knowledge on this subject !
PioneerPauly told me about you! I enjoyed this video, and like how you teach, too. Nice finds!
Great to see you find some nice heavier gold.
Another great educational video.
Thanks for sharing!
Best video yet Gary, keep up the great work watching from Australia
It is a wonderful video..i love the place..fresh water..fresh air..fresh gold..congratulation for finding some colors..i got excited too. I hope you will find more colors..take care..God bless your venture..Amen
Dang two toes. You are so good at teaching what to look for and how to get it. I just love your videos. Wish you could do one every day. Lol
Congrats on the nuggies. Good job! What you did show is that there can be nuggets in canyons and smooth bedrock. The old timers believed gold got crushed and flushed out of canyons and that smooth bedrock was a poor trap. They would have avoided such spots.
Wow Gary, you make building that retirement fund look easy....Great video
If it was easy, I would be retired! lol
Great video, I was amazed by the gold in the side of the bed rock. Dang stuff is in the craziest of places.
You make it look easy Gary. SEMPER FI!
Best cure for the fever is gold you can hold! Thanks gary!
Now this is about all one could ask for in a RUclips gold-gettin' video -- wonderfully educational, and dang entertaining, what with all that chunkiness. 👍
Ya buddy cool adventure and good tips! My creek i frequent is like that box canyon not much flood gold but when ya find some usually pick em up!
That was awesome !!! I was just thinking the same thing about that crusty washer and low and behold you were sure to mention it. Great bit of advise sir !!!! Great take for the day too
So good of you to share a life time of knowledge.thank you so much
This old guy is awesome I wish he could come to Arizona and we could work the river beds in the canyons.
I go to Arizona every year, but I'm on my motorcycle. I'm planning in a few years (when I retire), making two trips one on the bike and a prospecting trip in the truck!
Thanks Gary, I learn't lots from this video. we appreciate you sharing your Knowlege. Cheers Mate.
Two toes watching your videos helped me find a new outdoor hobby besides hunting or fishing, I love prospecting now! Extremely knowledgeable and interesting to watch, every video. I would love to read a book of your memoirs/prospecting how to’s.
Two toes! Long time fan! This is the stuff I come to watch, loved seeing you pull some real gold!!
Hey Gary just want to thank you again since you've been making videos I've been finding gold true story and as a matter of fact this afternoon I'm taking the vacpack I bought from you about six seven years ago and cleaning up an area where I found seven pickers/little nuggets best day ever!! Lol all in a row up on a high bank with my metal detector
Big gold! I loved every second of this one! Go big or go home I say!
i heard that gotta learn to turn the detector off or ill never make it to the spot !!! love it and can relate!
What you need is a windshield wiper.😅
Great video, thanks again for sharing.
You know he's been getting good gold for a long time when he's not excited about getting big nuggets!!! Lol I can't wait to get my first pan.
Nice video Gary..... Like your attitude toward life and prospecting..... Keep it up ..... Thanks for your videos and time ...... Manny
Thanks for the great advice. Its so expensive to travel and takes time and places to go. Yet prospecting is fun and something I wished I did more of even just to get out in the outdoors.

Great informative video. You have got to love that chunky gold. Well done
