Finding Gold Nuggets with the Minelab SDC 2300

[@TwoToes]

I was feeling good, my birthday the next day, was up in the hills, I thought what the heck - I think I will let Jeff beat me today. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! lol

[@emielheeneman]

Congratulations Garry. Going on a hunt together is a nice way to celebrate 🎉

[@Smithsgold]

LOL !!!!!

[@Smithsgold]

he got to hangout with me Now that's a birthday !!!!! LOL

[@emielheeneman]

@@Smithsgold 😂🍺👍🏻

[@MericaAdventures]

Next time we’re out let me beat you too. Lol.

[@GeorgiaDogScrapper]

Hey Jeff, I have been watching Gary for a while now and the video he showed finally gave a hint that you had a youtube channel. I always love watching you guys hunting for that GOLD. But also enjoy seeing how much lead y'all grab when you both are playing around a creek or river. I probably would say that he jumped in and not really slipped. You guys looked hot in that glaring sun. Happy hunting from GA.

[@Smithsgold]

thanks !!!!

[@jeffersonstategold8349]

Happy birthday Gary! and a dang nice piece of gold Jeff!

[@Smithsgold]

Thanks !!!!!

[@mininhawaiian2911]

I love how stoked you were when you found that nugget Jeff!!!! Cheeehoo :D That’s a super nice peice ✨ It’s always the ones you didn’t expect that our some of our best finds :) Happy birthday Gary and for the record I think your actually only 50 years old but you dye your hair gray to look 70 … lol You still move better then some 50 year olds I know so you can’t fool me with that hair dye !!

[@Smithsgold]

LOL he only has to use a little of the grey dye cause of the lack of hair !!!!! he moves good for 70 that's for sure

[@ancientbedrock9366]

Gentlemen hair dye is bad for the scalp ??? Maybe talk Gary into skipping the chemicals and go for hair extensions???🤔 U guys are tooo funny ✌️

[@bedrockbennett1827]

Hell jc he still moves better than me on most days

[@colinmucho-oro4099]

[@CplSkiUSMC]

Every once in a while the moon and planets fall into just the right alignment and something like that happens. You could see the pain beneath the smile on Gary's face. Almost makes you feel sorry for Gary... well, not so much. Nice nugget Jeff!

[@Smithsgold]

Thanks

[@blueleadgoldproductions133]

When I was growing up, I used to watch ABC's Wide World Of Sports. Their motto was "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat." This episode was a flashback. A nice chunky piece of gold and the long awaited thrill of victory. Savor it goldseeker. You earned it. P.S. Nice work with the sluice for Gary. I thought there was no small gold on that river. When my Angus sees that nice little pile of pickers Gary sluiced up, it gets hungry.

[@Smithsgold]

I'm still enjoying the victory for sure !!!!!

[@Jessgo33-]

That was awesome. Beautiful nugget and congratulations.

[@Smithsgold]

Yes it was !!!! Thanks
