It feels like spring, so we headed to the gravel bar for gold.

Nice hot lunch on the mine site sounds good !

Thank you there, Mr. Jason. You gotta keep your strength up when you’re digging for gold.. Or maybe something to soak up beverages

Great video Tye! You guys did much better than I did today but even a slow day prospecting is a good day 😊

[@IowaGoldProspectors]

Well, this was last Sunday, I tried to upload this this morning. 20 minutes at 4G is about 8.61 gig and I have crappy service. This was supposed to be uploaded at 6 AM. I got finished with this last night at 10 PM. Me and Austin hiked up a creek valley today. It was dry. Got a good hike in about 3/4 of a mile with a 20 pound pack. Found about three micro dots for the whole day.

Thanks, Jacco I hope everything‘s going great with you, sir

[@goldpanningDutchmanjacco]

@IowaGoldProspectors I wish I could say yeah....I have some health issues at the moment...but no worries nothing I can't handle 💪

[@IowaGoldProspectors]

Well, I hope you’re feeling better soon.

Gold looks awesome! I’ve been chomping at the bit to get out, but haven’t yet. You fellas have a great season. Be safe ! 🍻

[@IowaGoldProspectors]

I think it’s gonna be a super dry year. Might have to hit some of the bigger, rivers running through the state. Some of those locations that you can only get to when shit dries up.

No small shovel? You're inventive Tye ⚒👍🤠😂

[@IowaGoldProspectors]

I got a small backpack dredge . I think I’m gonna haul over there instead.

[@midwestmidasmining]

Nice video, Tye. Way more gold than Iowans usually get this time of year! 😊

[@IowaGoldProspectors]

Who thought it would be almost 70 in February. Hope it’s a long hot year. There’s other locations I’d like to get to if the water is going to be low.

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

This weather has been awesome. Nice seeing you guys out enjoying it also. Take care ✌️

[@IowaGoldProspectors]

Thank you sir.

[@larryfoxen9236]

Looks good

[@IowaGoldProspectors]

Mr. Foxen long long long time no see. Thanks for jumping over on my channel last time we talked you told me you were finding gold on a certain creek. That dumped into the river in your hometown. And that you were going to follow that creek upstream. I guess I should’ve gotten your phone number back then we could’ve kept in better touch. Are you gonna get your other knee or hip replaced this summer? Maybe in the fall you can get out or late summer. Do some panning. What a great way to get back into a physical fit shape.

[@larryfoxen9236]

I thought I had found some. Then Life kicked me in the ass. Lost the gold bug. As far as my other hip. I have to wait till the Dr. Says I have suffered enough to get it done

[@IowaGoldProspectors]

@larryfoxen9236 I get that lossing the gold fever. Iowa does it to me. I’ve gained some super great prospecting friends the last 10 yrs. And we go on vacations 3 or so times a year for Gold and those trips revive my gold fever. Sorry you’re in pain i hope your situation gets better soon.
