[@TwoToes]

What can be better than a spring day out prospecting - finding nice gold while enjoying it!! Think we will have a great year, that is if the water ever drops. lol

[@richardmckinney4963]

But seeing how I live in central Oklahoma I find my gold in antique shops, garage and estate sales.

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

I was up yesterday to Adams spot and the water was the highest I've ever seen it, almost couldn't work! Im getting sick of the high water real quick lol!

[@TwoToes]

I can't agree more, tired of finding flood gold. I'm going to check out my claim this weekend, I have a feeling I won't get very far because of high water!!!!

[@derek-stader3445]

Great intro!!!! One of the best I’ve seen! New sub Annnnd “Two Toes”, one of my favorites!!! Thanks to both of you for your explorations and videos!!! Cheers from Southern OR! ✌️

[@borisdoesthings]

I dream of the day when Two Toes comments on my videos ....

[@sophiechandler955]

I love that you guys are are nature lovers and really appreciate your surroundings aswell as finding gold, what a great hobby to have! Hello from the UK...

[@sigdog365]

What a great day on the river. I use clear plastic air line to clean out cracks. Add water into the crack and siphon just like a straw. Just don't drink the river water or the material. I have a piece of air line about 4 feet long.

[@virginiarocks]

Gorgeous butterflies muddling on the beach. Thanks for posting! Nice gold too

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

you ever think of a canvas bucket (no metal rigs) rolls up fits in the pack nice light you just fill the bucket and go back to the pan holds a couple pounds of dirt that you can do several pans mine was $9 on amazon they're water buckets but you can put all kinds of things in them I saw the picture of tools in it really well made just a thought even feed the sluice box

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Great day for you fun and gold

[@chinolok9256]

I don't have experience on this but I do see gold Rush and other shows and they ALL say the same thing gold is heavier and as time passes by it just gets deeper and deeper,hey try it you might be surprised you might gain a little more specially around black sand

Noice, Jerry! Guess I gotta get a portable vac now!😆!

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Get on it Lester!

[@dam4274]

Was that a cordless vacuum? I’d gather as much material as possible in buckets and to it somewhere else to pan.

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Yes cordless vac, we do just that for the most part usually.

[@chinolok9256]

I just have a question doesn't sand get lighter with water,saying that when your digging for gold up on the rocks doesn't sand get lighter and gold heavier should you dig minimum 1/2 ft to 1ft down to see what's really in the sand??well better luck next time.god bless.

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Your not thinking old enough, Millions of years ago when the gold was deposited here, it may have been the bottom of the river or closer. the mountains are always pushing up over years so the bottom ends up higher up the bank.

[@j.c6929]

Nice work mate got some nice yellow there love the video's you put up. Can't wait for the next one cheers 👍👌

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Thanks a ton JC!

DAMN Jerry, I about spit my soda when You said that Squirrel had a stash of acorns and nuggets. I was going to be a smartass and say the exact same thing in a comment. LOL Great minds think alike I guess.. On the bright side, Even if there aren't any nuggets we can eat the cute fuzzy animule and call it even. LOL

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

LOL I always wonder Skittles... I know I find gold with ants a lot!

[@OldWines]

Curious; would bringing a metal-detecting pin-pointer be of any use?

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Yes we do at times, this river is known for smaller gold though.

[@juliaurzik5584]

Very nice haul. Where did you get your vac? Heading out to my secret place on Mokelumne River.

Thanks Julia, I ordered it online, its a dewalt cordless vac.

Looks like a river here in Washington State, lots of deep pools and fast flow.

Howdy Mark, Id say whatever feels the best and doesn't dig into your leg with the strap. I don't use them often though I should, I think Todd used Dewalt brand.

California Mother Lode Prospectors Yeah I’ve never used them when I was younger but now that I’m older the ground hurts my knees a lot more. Even though you don’t wear them I do want to really thank you for at least respond to my question. I guess I’ll just go to the hardware store and try some on.....thanks so much Jerry!
