Howdy friend 😎. I thought that was a piece of gold stuck on your finger nail about to fall off. When Gary looses body parts it turns to gold lol. Have a great week sinsia 🇺🇸👍⚒😎🍀

[@TwoToes]

It's gone now, kept bugging me so I pulled it off. Bit sore now, but much better. lol

AMERICA folks

[@insidebendprospecting]

I always appreciate you sharing these mining tips, never noticed the difference in riffles between a sluice, banker, or dredge before. Makes sense! Thanks Gary

[@blueleadgoldproductions133]

Nice chunky loose standards picker. Where the heck was Jeff? Excellent tutorial on sluicebox basics. However, the best advice on sluice boxes is as follows: Jettison the classifiers and tiny sluice boxes and start digging and dumping with an Angus Mackirk. Experience the material moving power and joy of drop riffles. The Angus is the next best thing to an illegal dredge for demolishing a gold rich gravel deposit. They clean out in 30 seconds and also work surprisingly well for recovering fine flood gold. Armed with an Angus and some proper smoke offerings even greenhorrns can bring home the gold 3% for digging and dumping

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

I've never found any of your videos too long. Great tips for working the small sluice. 👍

[@charleswilson1063]

No annoying music. Just fantastic pure knowledge coming straight at ya. If you want to learn about getting gold his videos are the best. The best. Thanks for all that you do.

I stumbled on a gold mine youtube channel! edit: Keep up the good work, youre doing wonders teaching future generation (myself). I am gonna study your channel like a book. Thank you.

Your videos could never be " too long". I love information and knowledge from tricks of the trade Ol'Tymers like yourself and your buddy. They are not Long enough as far as I'm concerned. Lol Stay sharp you ol Leather neck.

[@davidbreen4353]

i bought bags of paydirt. i have come out of 1 bag, really small flake gold, i mean really small specks, some what they call tweezer pickers. i just bought a mini sluice, this video was very helpful. i am hoping to recover more miniscule flakes. my point is great tutorial on correct sluice set up. thank you, hope you find a rich pocket after you move those boulders.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Great info on the sluice .In my area we can't use anything but a sluice or Rocker and pan, a lot of areas that I go are low flow or just puddles so the rocker is the go its as fast as a big sluice in putting through the paydirt maybe even faster as u don't have to classify first cheers Glenno. 👍😎

[@shawnsparks1965]

Yes!! I luv equipment setup videos!!! Thats twotoes appreciated this vid!!

[@petertwiss356]

trying to find gold myself, I live East of Sacramento area. I suck at it, but you're my number 1 channel for learning. I love your videos dood, please don't stop!

[@onemansthought]

Dang Gary another great teaching, thought I kinda knew sluice boxes but you taught me more, THANK YOU!

[@robklein583]

I have about ten books on prospecting, and none mentioned the different angles on riffles depending on the box used. Thx Gary. You really should write a book about prospecting. But do it in the off season of course!!

[@ferdburphel2076]

Greatly done and quality gold! Time to get Jeff and the baseball team to roll some boulders after seeing that return🍻. So I've gotta say it.....put a damn bandaid on that finger before you hook it reaching into your pocket and I have to feel your pain....too late...I feel it🍻

[@hooahextreme]

Awesome. This is one of the most informative sluice setup videos I have ever seen.

[@Aco747lyte]

Thank you for your tuition on the sluice box and that high banker. I made our own including a high bankers because I can weld having been a lifer in the UK Royal Navy. My daughter Molly and I love your channel, which IMO is the best on YT. I cannot thank you enough for all you have taught us. All the very best from Wendi in the UK.

I am the worst ever at setting up a sluice so thx for the video.

[@davidboerner2677]

Thank you for telling us about the three types of ripples for the sluice, high banker and dredge. You will help me catch more gold as I was using one kind of ripple for all three types of equipment.

[@norcalprospectinggoldandadv]

My Son and I would love to go out with you prospecting someday. You are a wealth of knowledge and we would love to learn from you.

[@portroyal6886]

Awesome video... Talking about nails no one ever talks about them when panning, I panned in a river found some gold and enjoyed it so much but after about a week my finger nails were brital, and braking and I hardly even had nails I had to tape the ends up, hahaha,

[@WheelieShinyGold]

Can't wait to watch it. Always good info, thanks for providing it

[@outdoorloser4340]

Love your videos Gary, you're the most knowledgeable prospector on YT hands down.

[@lonesquid]

Hey Gary! I'm sure you know this, but since you didn't mention it, I'll toss it out for what it's worth: When I'm using the sluice for prospecting, I always be sure to clean off the black "witness mat" before adding material from a new hole, as that way you can know that any new gold is from your new hole and not the previous. Thanks again for brightening our days - sure am excited to get out there myself!

[@RandyLunn]

Gary, thank you for sharing all your knowledge and showing us in a hands-on demonstration. You also give all the background context and insights to help us understand the ground we are operating. Great stuff!

[@danlonganecker]

Nothin better than a day of sluicein on the river, gives a fella time to reflect and relax and just enjoy the day. 🤙🤙✌️

[@dphxtruthresearchradio869]

Nice video Gary, wudda liked to see a better run of material see more gold but it was nice instruction. I think we finally have some water here north of phoenix to go try Lynx creek. Hard hit area but learned a lot from you on where to look. Hit some crevices and run it see how we can do.

[@shawnie2027]

I always enjoy your videos 👍your to the point n so informative! Thank you so much! Heck I wasn’t even thinking about panning for gold n have not for Along time but now after watching your video I am wanting to get out my pans n gear n head out n dig! Lol thank you again!!!

[@chrisfrench2130]

Great info never can have enough when it comes to prospecting gold. So very elusive, but decent take for just 6 or ten pans that's good from where I from lmao but, we still got gold and plenty of make-shift adventures and remote camping here I the green mountains of Vermont. Jeff to the rescue on the boulders he is a great dude.

[@montanatreasurehunter9600]

That was a good informational video Gary and you even found a little gold which is always a plus.

[@kenmorrill3774]

Thanks for the excellent video! Knowing where to look, what equipment to use and how to use it equals consistent gold recovery. That gold didn't travel far!

Thank you Gary. Very informative and now I’m planning to ask a friend to let me sluice on their property soon. Cheers, Anita

Lets get to moving " a couple semi loads of boulders " ;) Every video I am jealous of not being in CA anymore [ use to dredge in 80s-90s in No. CA ] but now we can't so it doesn't hurt so much . One of the best channels for learning --- instead of just showing what you doing ! ;) Thanks again

He's an awesome guy too. Will be you making and selling any crevicing tools in the near future? I would love to be able to buy some from you. Had to save up first, lol. I'll be doing real crevicing for the first time this year, as I finally have confidence in what you have taught, so I don't go digging a big fat mud hole, lol. Take care Gary and God bless.

[@altakach2976]

Thanks Two ! !

[@johnbilsky1153]

Excellent presentation Gary. I'm wondering about your statement of that little sluice being 2 feet in length. Is that the length of the actual working area with the riffles? The one inch drop per foot "rule" would be affected somehow wouldn't it? Ouch on the fingernail.

[@TwoToes]

It is the length of the entire box, that is where you start, then fine adjust from there.

Hi Sir, I’m in San Francisco and my partner and I went out with a group this weekend for our first time panning. I’ve been wanting to do this for a few yrs now and it was a blast and ready to go more. We were on the Yuba below downieville. I bout a panset about a yr ago and now we want to get a sluice box. Is there a brand you recommend like the one you’re using in this video? I think a 10-12” x 39-48 is where we want to be. Thnx for the great content. Been watching you for a few yrs now. Any clubs you suggest for us newbies? I’m definitely gonna hit your site and grab some of your crevicibg tools! Thnx again. ~Matt

[@TwoToes]

If you are running the sluice by yourself, I would stay with the smaller ones - around 6 inch by 3 feet. If you like the Dowieville area I know Comstock Gold Prospectors has some claims up there.
