[@richardmayell1175]

As far as I’ve seen in Jeff’s videos he only drinks water but maybe this day he had a few wobbly pops? It’s the best explanation for the use of bolt 😂 Then again, Jeff’s idea that he might have had sunstroke is a good one too. Heavy pans fellas ⛏

​@@Smithsgold 😂

[@garyroenicke2102]

Gary you should know to use the deep grooves of the Pan to remove most of the black sand. Couldn’t see any gold by swirling it. Really surprised why so many prospectors do that while filming. My Gosh, get rid of most the lighter stuff when showing the gold.

[@HolmesProspecting]

It was surprising to me as well that Gary doesn't even like to use the riffles. Hard to argue with him as he gets far more gold than anyone else I know.

@@HolmesProspecting don't need them the Gold will sit at the bottom with or without them !!!!

Well Jeff my guess is that is a 5/8" bolt and nut off a cutting edge on a road grader or some other piece of heavy equipment. If it was 5/8 ounce of gold you would have been happier.

that's for sure !!!!!!!

Goes to show the amount of good times doesn't always equal the amount of good gold. You got all the good shots! I need to eat those sardines on camera. Let's do it at the end of the day though. Preferably near a bathroom.
