    Two Toes you have the best gold prospecting videos on the internet. You film good, You do not have wind noise overpowering the audio. We do not have to watch you dig and shovel a lot. We do not have to watch basic panning . You show what you get very clearly. And your explanations as to why you are digging where you are at are excellent. Although I have been messing around with prospecting for decades I have learned more about sniping, and reading river ground and metal detecting in the last couple of days than I ever had. Thanks John R.
