Id love to have this guy as a grandpa. So much valuable information to learn and wisdom to share.

I always chuckle when you say, " you guessed it, yeah it's the next day."

Gary, I gotta say that you definitely are the best KZbin gold prospecting teacher, period, and I have put more of your shared wisdom to use than all the other resources combined. Watching this video reminds me that you’ve already made a lot of what you shared a normal part of my scouting routine and it definitely has all strengthened my overall prospecting game. Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom and adventures with all of us these past couple/few years and I truly hope your health and intestinal fortitude to defy aging, will get us all another 30 years with you shooting videos out in the field!

[@FlourgoldWizards]

Agreed.

[@timothycloney1453]

Flour gold Wizards, I just discovered your videos a few months ago and definitely enjoy watching you chase that fine gold in Wisconsin. I have a friend in Wisconsin and you talk just like him or he does like you, you’re older😁. I enjoy so many KZbin gold personalities but you gotta admit, Gary covers all the grounds and does it in a way like he’s one of your uncles trying to have you enjoy the adventure without being too “teachy” but at the same time giving you too much info to retain all at once, lol, so you gotta keep hanging with him. Please know that I admire your notion of feeding that can all this time for one lucky person after 7000👍👍

[@TwoToes]

Thanks - I'm in northern California, to cold in Wisconsin for this old guy!

[@tomheater6149]

Yes Timothy, I feel he's taught me skills that would have taken years to figure out on my own.

Got to watch that heat Gary ! It’s that time of the year, morning metal detecting afternoon sniping to beat the heat. Hope fishing is going well ! 👍🇺🇸😎🍀✌️

Never a disappointing video when it comes to gold on this channel even if your not happy with the results. It would be a good day for me.😂👍💛

I'm a Rockhound so even if you don't find gold, and you just explain how to read the gravel in the pan I will be more than glad to watch it!

Another lesson learned. .... 1. Drink more water. 2. Carry spare Batteries . Thanks Gary, Always a pleasure. Another old guy, up in Washington

[@TwoToes]

LOL

[@FlourgoldWizards]

There aren’t many places around Wisconsin with fabulous looking bedrock like that but its nice to have your insight in case something comes along. Jeff had it made in that water! You’re right about the water too, its very easy to work right through a needed water break!! Stay safe Gary 👍🏻✌️

[@Smithsgold]

yes I did !!!!!! much cooler

[@dwarddward8925]

I said you've tought 10 times more than anyone else it's more like 1000 times more. Again, sincerely thank you so much.

[@seasonalsteve6158]

You and Jeff are slowly cleaning all the gold out of your area. Before long there's only going to be flood gold left. You could borrow Jeff's umbrella.

nice gold,,, that river is so nice,,,, so clean,,so lucky to get to swim there

[@prospectorbob]

Lots of good tips on what to look for in a creek bed. The course black sands as an indicator. Nice.

[@jidtorre]

Hi. Good info about the black sand. Would think that would be the same here in Australia. Will put that to the test when we get out of stage 4 lockdown and are aloud to travel again.

[@welbhloud]

Its so cute to watch from places like Norway and comparing your "small tiny pieces" to my dust particles that i carefully pan out and care to transfer into my glass. I am very long way away from enough for a ring, but one day I will give it to my wife.

[@petten33]

Hi, Gary. I truly don't get why you don't have a million + subs. We've followed you for some time now and are never disappointed. Keep "Golding", pilgrim.🇨🇦❤️🙂

[@markb9347]

Gary must really be enjoying the new SDC detector an awful lot to not get in the water on a hot day and do some sniping.

[@kennethclark5636]

I only wish I could have a bad day of only 2.02 grams of gold. Keep yourself hydrated, Gary! I love your t-shirt and thank you for the video.

[@virginiarocks]

Thank you. I always enjoy your adventures and usually learn something 😎

[@FlashInYourPan]

Good video, Gary. Yeah you need to stay hydrated my friend... Be careful and keep them coming.

[@dwarddward8925]

You have shown us many times, thank you for doing video and taking yourself away from the prospecting. From what I've seen over a few years you are teaching 10 fold over what anyone else is doing. Thank you.

This old man gets more gold getting lost than you ever will. Go clean your old lady's shoes hater.

[@ericjensen3662]

Hey Gary. I grew up in Paradise. Now I live in Utah. There isn't any gold in Utah. So I make a trip to the Klamath every year for a week. 5 of us are leaving tomorrow morning. Can't wait to get there and dip my pan in it. I love your videos. Always learn something new. Keep up the good work.

[@thewindyone5228]

I got land on Indian Creek in Happy Camp and am retiring here…

[@ericjensen3662]

@thewindyone5228 I'm actually here right now. Camping at the Big Foot RV park. Found some good gold today. Going back to the same spot tomorrow. I'm leaving Saturday. Come by and say hi. Look for a tent and two trucks with Utah tags.

[@adaml.4076]

You need a backup battery for the SDC. Very nice gold

I don't watch these videos for the gold porn (okay yes I do). This is the best video i have ever seen on reading gravel. That is solid gold!

[@josephnewman9175]

Good finds Gary! Glad your new detector is working for you! Any time I go home with 2 grams or more is a good day! Now let's see how that thing works when you spend the whole day in the river! Knowing your work, combined with good luck which we all need along with skill you'll probably do very well! Good luck man! Joe gold

[@npzninja]

the metal detector picked up those little pieces ?! that's amazing

[@heavymeadowdetective192]

Good job Gary. 2 grams is awesome, but I hope you have a few more half ounce days before winter hits. That SDC should help your odds.

[@gregpinder823]

Great info mate, although I live in an area of Australia with next to no gold there is nothing I enjoy more than walking creeks and checking gravels. Most creeks dry but take samples and pan out to understand heavy material. Please keep posting mate.

[@thornmollenhoff8698]

Hi Gary, Try the Grayl Geopress water filtration system. You can use it to drink the water from the river as it will filter out quite a bit. I really like mine and it has been working well. I enjoy watching your videos and learning a lot.

[@mininhawaiian2911]

Thanks for showing us more about gravels! I Always like following you around and listening to you explain the “ looks” in the gravel..! As always you’ve taught me so much Even the tips on blacksand are pro tips that most people don’t recognize!! Looks like your back from your fishing trip See ya in October :)

See you in Sept. - I hope!

[@kevinhubbard8039]

real sweet trip but you have to take care of your self

[@48thstateprospecting]

Can’t complain about that gold👍🏻 and you’ll get used to that detector soon enough the sound it makes for gold is either high to low tone or low to high tone with iron being the opposite (I can’t remember which is which you can test it at home) but it helps with identifying the rubbish thx for sharing see you on the next one 👊🏻

[@whranch1526]

This is great information. Great video my friend 👍

[@johntaylor4638]

Gary, thanks for a great post and advice as always. I was curious if you could share information on the adapter plug you use between your headset and the Minelab? I haven't been able to find one yet that works, so I'd appreciate a link or other information. Many thanks in advance, and please keep up the great postings!!

I’m sure you’re going to get into half ounce days again, then again if I had your day in this video I’d be more than pleased. Love watching your channel because of your knowledge and I find you and Jeff entertaining. You make a great point about rock colour and weight as I have found some really nice gold with the super heavy rocks. The comment about the bigger black sands is helpful too. Take care out there 👍

Be careful with that dehydration Gary. When I was working blacktop it was usual to drink 1 gallon of water or more while at work. Gotta remember to drink H2O. Take care and good luck. JJ

[@haroldtakahashi8875]

dehydration is nothing to disregard...i ended up in the er due to not staying hydrated...if you can't bring along bottled water, at the very least, get a filter straw...good luck and keep up the good work...

What about Jeff's haul? Boy, that water looked great. Hoping we can get you in the water for sniping hunts soon.

[@williampankratz600]

Great video with plenty of good sense and logical information, I am in Northern Nevada not far away fron Nor Cal and plenty of gold also, but the issue I have is there is "NO WATER" to pan the gold with. is there an effective way to get fine dust gold out of sand without water ? , If you know a way please do a video on the subject because dry panning is painfully ineffective not to mention labor intensive compared to wet panning. Thanks again

Hello from Northern Alberta. Love your stuff here on youtube. Thany ou.Still collecting info and tools. Haven't been out yet.
