I Found Bedrock LOADED with GOLD!!!

[@TwoToes]

You found where old buzzards go to die, now I know where to go when its time to die. Those were some nice pans, don't you just love those days!

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

I really think your on to something there Gary.. Never seen anything like that before, we looked up at one point and there had to be 100's of them circling way high up in the canyon.. I know there is a lot of bear activity nearby that it might have something to do with it to.. I hope these days keep up!

The real gold was getting to be in paradise with the Hawaiian dinging side by side again!!

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Yo can you do Monday to Wednesday for that adventure we were talking about? Let me know asap so i can get it off

[@stephenfowler4115]

The bump on the lead ball is from the spot where the ball was cut away from the sprue when it was cast.

[@MrMichaelWHenze]

I've been panning for gold for years (mostly in GA & NC) and never had a pan with that much gold. Good luck 🍀👍

[@LUCKYB.]

That chunk of lead round ball maybe a 440 round ball or a 44 cal for a cap n ball that bump is the Spur. When its loaded that spur is pointed up if now it will throw your ball off when its fired ..

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Thanks for the info Lucky!

[@sigdog365]

[@goldengatedoorsoffice4172]

Hey Jerry. My husband and I have been watching KZbin videos on gold panning and we’ve recently gotten into it. I LOVE panning. Any way we watched a few of your videos and I kept saying “ that guy looks so familiar” - even told my husband “he looks like a rodeo boy” - then the video with Casey and Cody cues up and it all fell together! 😂 sweet channel. Thanks for posting. - Sarah (from JSHS)

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

:D That's really cool, I don't really hear much from anyone that recognizes me, I always wondered if people did lol.. Its great that you two get out and prospect I hope more people get into it as well as it's a great outdoor activity and needs more exposure. Thanks for the comment and I wish you heavy pans!

Hi, must be so much fun picking up those gold. My friends were in South Yuba River State park this past week for fun and gold panning. I found few flecks of gold and it was an icing on the cake of being at Yuba river.

[@wilsonocasio8884]

The GOLD is that place! My God that’s a beautiful river ......

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

YES it is!!

[@timstingel9067]

Yes its a musket ball the lump on it is where they cut off the excess lead from the making of the ball

That bump on the musket ball is called a sprue. Its from the molding process.

[@phattdaddycheesesteak8524]

Great day stay safe and heavy pans keep on coming . Thanks for sharing

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Thanks, you too!

[@tazmo2004]

I love it when people think buckshot is a "musket ball".

[@jeffreyallen3796]

The lump on the back of the ball is called the sprue that's where you pour the lead of the mold and you got to cut it off and that little lump will be there I shoot black powder and I pour my own balls so that means that ball didn't travel very far and it wasn't shot

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Thanks for the info thats a neat find for sure! must have been a drop doesn't look fired.

[@jeffreyallen3796]

@@californiamotherlodeprospect no it didn't look fired and I could tell that even on my little smart phone so that was a really nice fine if it's in the Shasta County Trinity County area it could be one of my round balls from hunting deer if it's a .495cal

[@thomasroberts9752]

[@ketointhekitchenwithpat]

Fun to watch all that gold being revealed, and I really like the format of how you do your video sort of like a mini-series with narration. I believe your subscribers will continue to increase as more and more find your channel and enjoy the thrill of adventure - not only focused on the gold but nature and the hunt as well. So sad about the vulture-- not that we love vultures but they are nature, and help to clean up the dead things on the earth too. I'm concerned why they're dying, but I believe it may have to do with all the chemicals being sprayed into our skies, falling into the water and onto the earth...but that's my belief. Thanks again for showing us a beautiful part of the country. FAB gold! I have just teeny pieces but one day will graduate -- perhaps? lol

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Much appreciated KK! I'm glad that people like yourself are able to enjoy these videos and feel as if they are tagging along, that's what I'm going for. You don't always have days like this for every one there's 100 you find almost nothing if not nothing!

[@waynedennis4708]

Vultures have to eat and, they clean up rotting carcasses that would smell-up the hiking trails and fun times outdoors. Death is a circle of life.

[@aaronadams01]

I wish I lived in an area where there's free milling gold like that. I live in Utah and all the gold here is flour or microscopic, only way to get it is through flotation and it's just too expensive for the average prospector. I work as a contractor at the Kennecott Copper Mine and I see it every day and dream. Great video.

Thanks for your help with the high banker. With the question I asked about the cordless vacuum didn’t explain what I was asking. With the cleaning of the crevasses that’s got dry dirt I was asking if you have ever thought of using a cordless vacuum to get all the dirt out so whinges can’t attack you about crowbars and things. Just thought I’d ask as you could even have a cordless blower one end blowing towards the vacuum and even use thin cheap paint brushes just couple of things I would try if I was fortunate enough to live close enough to the places you are able to get to and the stress free places like that is what I miss since moving from where I spent my younger years
