You talking about that hike gave me flashbacks of a trip to California a few years ago. I had like 100lbs of gear in an all terrain wagon I was pulling. After 6 days of camping and prospecting I was hiking out and thought I was gonna die. I was cut up from blackberries and damn near cried when I finally got back to the parking area. I left a gold rush nugget bucket in the middle of the trail and put a free sign on it lol. The wagon kept tipping over and I was like, "Screw this big piece of junk!" Somebody lucked out I guess. Lesson learned! Thanks for the upload

Yes i agree on the over loaded pack haha. I Gotta learn to cut out a lot of gear for sure 😵

[@ProspectorRalph]

Thank you. The boys love a day on the river hunting for gold. They're always asking when the next time we are going back out lol

We used to hike Steven's every weekend. It's a beast! We then starting using pennywieght trail and walking up the river. Way faster and better gold! Loved the video!!! New subscriber and cant wait to see what's next

@@3nuggeteers19 i got a vid of me and the kids taking the pennyweight trail and we went an additional mile ish past that, found a chunky picker under a mini waterfall. Love this river. So much opportunity. You always feel like this next crack can have a monster nug just waiting to be popped out.

[@3nuggeteers19]

That's awesome to hear. The wife always ends up with a picker or two from there just from picking the Moss!! We just hit a crack on our clean that had a third of a oz total. So we know what you mean by that next crack!! And its awesome your introducing young people to prospecting😁😁😁😁🍻🍻⛏⛏⛏
