Good morning! Ground with almost no trash,and finding a gram of gold! ( that’s a fun day) A nice video to watch on a wet Monday morning, thank you !!!

[@mathewturner7528]

It'd be nice for 10 minutes out of my day to go there in the Sierra Nevada mountains smell the fresh air in the pines in the water just everything about it have a good day. Thanks for great video Gary

[@MountaineerMatt]

Nice one Gary. Nothing beats a day in the sierras chasing the shiny

[@tattoedmat]

Good morning glad you're finding it, we are flooded out in Scotland

[@TwoToes]

I'm hoping we get a bit of flooding here, need to move the boulders around and stir up some gold.

[@Smithsgold]

I need a Snow Cat to get back in there and get first Gold of 2024 !!!!!!

[@TwoToes]

And a backhoe to get to the ground! lol

[@waltertodd4479]

Cool tertiary gravel nuggets, thanks...

[@rastaralph7154]

Areet man. There's probably more conglomerate around there. It could of come from one big bit that got scattered when they were moving it around but didn't see gold so left it 💚💛❤️

[@goldfools5445]

I know the SDC is a great machine and for what terrain you are working in it’s probably perfect. I just want to say, I sold my SDC and bought a GPX6000, it’s a great machine for punching down deeper. Would save a lot of digging, except for nuggets. They aren’t cheap but hey, if you love this hobby you may as well get the most out of it while health allows. The years go way too fast to miss out on the fun. 🍻 Mark..

[@Smithsgold]

Good Detector's !!!!

[@kenmorrill3774]

I also sold my SDC and bought the 6000. It is much lighter and comes with wireless headphones. My wrists don't give out after a few hours of detecting, as they did when I swung the SDC. I prefer running it with the Goldhawk 5" x10" coil. I turn 70 this year and hope to use this machine for many years.

[@Smithsgold]

Sweet !!!!!!!!!!@@kenmorrill3774

[@GrooberNedJardine]

Nice day in the mountains , and those rocks yielded up some sweet sweet gold ,👍 Gotta be happy with that 👌, YeeeHaaa baby !!!! Cheers Ned . ✌Great way to keep the beer cold too . 💪

Mining in the rain! Neoprene waiters good rain jacket pick rock rake and some balls! Old timers did it.

[@patdenney7046]

Digging just digging ! A pic you can swing dig them cracks out when you’re following that bedrock! They will lead you to the goodies! There’s been a lot of World class detector operators over them pits. Digging is definitely the right way to figure out the right direction. Big gold it’s deeper in them spots the small ones will lead you but you must dig! There’s always a random in the Odd spots but the cracks were there looks like there are no cracks Tree brush have a tendency to grow in them cracks. Not very many targets is a good sign it means it has been pounded it’s cleaned up so now you can find a good spot use a different digger hunt them cracks you’ll find a good one Use your gold knowledge and you have to dig them cracks out right where you’re at at least a foot and a half if not two the small gold will lead you to the big gold. There’s no such thing as easy gold ! Sometimes on your last day of dredging you accidentally find a good hit that makes up for the whole season! You should tell that story sometimes you got pictures It’s a pretty cool story awesome pictures and a great adventure

You're trying to teach the Teacher?

[@andypandyAU.6669]

1g thats pretty good before the snow. Down under we are full on into summer. Just need to get out and have a go. Cheers Jeff. ❤it 😊

[@jefferywilson4091]

I'm surprised you found any gold without Jeff there to pick up the lead and nails

[@TwoToes]

He got them all last trip. lol

[@stuartclark7766]

That's how I go trout fishing, a backpack full of beer, a small little case with extra hooks and sinkers some small red worms and when I get to the hole if there's snow I put my beer in it if not I put it in the water. I'll do the same thing when I start looking for gold here in a couple weeks.

[@outdoorwally8430]

[@tdiron5277]

Bigfoot’s missing ? The sun beat down on the dusty trail, cicadas buzzing a drowsy tune. Gary "the goat", a sun-baked prospector with a beard like tumbleweed, squinted at the faded map. "Bigfoot's Bounty," it boasted, a hand-drawn scrawl marking a hidden creek choked with moss. Legend had it, the elusive Sasquatch staked this claim years ago, then vanished to a wedding vacation. Gary’s' vacation plan? Strike it rich in Bigfoot's absence

[@Smithsgold]

Exactly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

[@tdiron5277]

@Smithsgold Bigfoot’s Guard Dog “Mans best friend “ The sun beat down on the dusty trail, cicadas buzzing a drowsy tune. Gary "the goat" Honan, a sun-baked prospector with a beard like tumbleweed, squinted at the faded map. "Bigfoot's Bounty," it boasted, a hand-drawn scrawl marking a hidden creek choked with moss. Legend had it, the elusive Sasquatch staked this claim years ago, then vanished to a wedding vacation. Gary’s' vacation plan? Strike it rich in Bigfoot's absence. With a grunt, he hefted his rusty pan and pushed through the thicket. The silence hummed with anticipation. Suddenly, a twig snapped. Gary froze, heart hammering. Was it Bigfoot, back early from his piña colada bender? Then, lumbering into view, came... a brown dog. A massive, slobbery Saint Bernard, panting like a bellows. "Hey there, fella," Gary said, cautiously lowering his pan. The dog nosed his hand, tail wagging. Maybe Bigfoot had a pet? The thought was dashed when Gary spotted a worn collar bearing the name "Bruno." Relief washed over him, mingled with a flicker of disappointment. No Bigfoot, no fortune. Bruno, however, seemed intent on leading him deeper into the woods. He trotted ahead, stopping to nudge a patch of ferns. Curiosity piqued, Gary dug. His shovel struck something hard, metallic. Pulling it free, his breath caught. A rusted iron box, heavy and adorned with intricate carvings. This wasn't Bigfoot's buried stash of nuggets, but something else, something older, something… magical. He pried open the box, a wave of cool air hitting him. Inside, nestled on velvet, lay a golden amulet, pulsing with an inner light. Bruno whined, pawing at the box. As Gary touched the amulet, visions flooded his mind - whispered secrets of hidden veins, maps etched in starlight, whispers of a forgotten gold mine. His vacation, meant for sun and sand, had taken a wild turn. Maybe Bigfoot wouldn't mind sharing his claim, after all. Bruno led the way, the amulet humming like a compass. Deeper they went, sunlight filtering through ancient trees, until they reached a hidden grotto. A waterfall crashed, revealing a tunnel mouth glittering with gold. Gary couldn't believe his eyes. Bigfoot's Bounty wasn't gold nuggets, it was a secret mine, an untold wealth guarded by legend and a friendly Saint Bernard. As he filled his pan with glittering ore, Bruno nudged his hand. He looked to see the dog holding a single, massive nugget, a silent offering. Gary grinned, feeling a kinship with the absent Sasquatch. Maybe vacation plans and legends don't always go as expected, but sometimes, the best treasures are found in the most unexpected ways. After all, who needs a east coast wedding when you have a loyal dog, a magical amulet, and a gold mine to explore? Gary’s best vacation . Sorry Jeff ... Lol 😂 Unfinished * Author Unknown

Good to see you Two Toes , just 1 question howd you get that nickname ? Lol I know back in my CB raidio days every one called each other by our handles, I was Little T still am here in the hills and back roads of Kentucky , by the way I’m the 1 ask you about writing a book with pictures ha ha good luck and be safe out there

[@TwoToes]

The whole KZbin idea was started by my son Joe. After he got out of the Marines he built a rock crawler, every now and then I put a picture of it in the intro. The original plan was to make a channel that had 4 wheeling and prospecting. The two toe idea came from the fact that a mountain goat can go anywhere, hence the goat and the name two toes. Joe's wife, is in the Air force and got stationed in Omaha, Neb. There are no mountains in Nebraska, so the plan kinda fell apart. I was having fun making the videos so decided to keep going. I kept the Two Toes name, because I like it and who knows, someday I might get a 4-wheeler!

The Winter Goat The wind whispers secrets through frosted pines, Boxing Day hush on snow-drifted vines. Gary the goat, beard dusted with white, Hoofs crunch a rhythm, a lone prospector's gait. Jeff's Spot, they called it, a legend of yore, Where nuggets like Christmas baubles once poured. But years had passed since the gold rush's gleam, Leaving whispers and dreams in the frozen stream. Gary, undaunted, with a twinkle in his eye, Clambered through boulders, a whisperer of sky. His horns, like divining rods, tapped the earth, Seeking the murmur of buried Gold’s birth **Unfinished** Author Unknown
