[@FlourgoldWizards]

Why did the chicken cross the road ? To go to the hills !!!! Dang right that first piece was a picker …. A nugget around here ! 🤣

[@patdenney7046]

That’s one smart chicken it’s a lot easier than crossing that damn river ! It’s the right time of year for sniping them places that don’t normally have water! I remember in the 60s and 70s there used to be thousands of people mining on the Yuba! You know there was no Internet and you got like three channels on the TV if that and they took the restrictions off golden 69 so I went from I don’t know 20 something two 200 My dad work for Caltrans for 30 years on Highway 49

lots of cool spots along 49 !!!!!! I bet you know some cool spots

[@TomBrucker-GoldenYears]

Those chickens were hungry, must be like Easter at your house. LOL😂 I like the teams style : Beat the skunk with some nice gold, and get ice cream as the reward 🍦🍦

[@Smithsgold]

They seem to always be hungry and yes its like Easter everyday here !!!! its about time for another hen to show up with chicks !!!!

[@devin1754]

FIrst gold and two more targets, I thought you were going winner, winner, chicken dinner but as usual, Gary gets heaviest gold. Looks like a great spot to go back to after the water level drops. More rain & snow coming in the next few days. Damn!!!! Thanks for sharing Jeff. 💰👍

[@Smithsgold]

my back was acting up and really slowed me down working and after I got that second picker I was on lazy street !!!!

[@richardmayell1175]

Didn’t quite beat out Gary but still found some nice gold! After your last time cleaning up you probably wanted Gary to feel better 😉 about his abilities to find the shiny. Video was a 9 but then the ice cream and now a 10! Keep up the great work fellas and may the gold be with you both!

[@Smithsgold]

Thanks Richard I had a great day Gold and Ice cream !!!!

[@Smithsgold]

You got that right I didn't show all the nails there were a few more I cleaned up !!!!

[@harleyhawk7959]

nice gold and a pair of pliers, great day. I've found a big breaker bar, a mason level, a huge dunnage block I use for my woodshed step, 3 4by16" bolted together with huge carriage bolts. driving my semi in the day, I even got to run over a fold up bed couch at 65 that fell off a guys pickup. talk about a ride.

[@Smithsgold]

Nice Finds !!!!!! I bet that was a crazy ride !!!!!

[@TomsWildTreks]

Wow, incredible job finding those gold nuggets! It's not every day that you stumble upon such a precious treasure. Your hard work and determination really paid off. The excitement and joy on your face when you uncovered those nuggets was contagious. Keep up the great work and continue sharing your amazing adventures with us. You've definitely inspired me to grab a metal detector and start searching for hidden treasures myself. Kudos to you, and may your future expeditions be filled with even more golden discoveries!

[@Smithsgold]

Thank you we will try to keep finding those Nuggets seems like each year it gets harder and Harder

[@TomsWildTreks]

@@Smithsgold I've been prospecting since 2008 and I can concur, getting harder. I know someone who found a nugget already this early in the season, sure wasn't me.

Just because you're out prospecting with your dad (which is pretty lucky by most guys estimation) doesn't mean you have to use a child's trowel. Glad to see you move up to the big time. :) As for losing your dad out in the woods, that happens with older folks. They eventually wander back.

[@Smithsgold]

LOL !!!!! not my Dad but still funny !!!!!!! LOL He loves it when people think that !!!!!! LOL

[@48thstateprospecting]

Well you had it in the bag until you let Gary at your spot lol other wise youd have beaten him this time… couple nails but no lead this time out?
