Highbanking crevice # 3. First trip in with a highbanker - 2018.

[@goldbunny1973]

....5mins later "Ive been working on that bedrock for a couple of hours by now"....without breaking a sweat : ) I love these videos . Smart guy, great demos of every technique and river reading, "If I don't get any signals I'll see you back at the house"....... "Well, here I am back at the house..." Awww.

[@carnivalwrestler]

Ticks come out after a rain storm. They can be there any time, but when it's dry for a while and then you have a good rain, it seems like the ground and low hanging branches and shrubs are crawling with them.

[@LOSTMINERSGOLD]

I liked learning about recognizing flood deposits vs. multiple influence deposits in the bedrock you worked Gary. Thanks for sharing the adventures!

[@PioneerPauly]

Gah I hate them micro-bears! They are everywhere here too. You dont need me to tell you this but that gold thing you do, your good at it. Thanks for sharing

[@TwoToes]

Grats on 10,000. Now get out there and find some gold!

[@ferdburphel2076]

I second that 👍

[@skysea333]

[@hippietie-dye3892]

You get a thumbs up for the speedy service that I received from your mining supply store. I had my order at my doorstep in Maine within three days unbelievable thank you very much and hope you find lots of shiny

[@TwoToes]

Thank you for the support, now make sure they don't get any dust on them.

[@paulmikul2280]

Just staying in touch to let you know I keep being entertained by your awesome videos! I am 65 and glad to see you in such good shape and doing what you love. It's not about the money, it's about doing what you love till you pass to the great big Crevice in the sky!!! It will be Gold lined as long as you have a good heart and help another human. And that is what you are doing here. Mahalo, Paul da Plumma

[@TheRowdyJ]

just found your channel last night. i love how descriptive you are. im a concept person, i love the why...not just do. you tell why you do these things and i learn a lot.

[@pattimessenger6214]

Hey, Gary, I have a suggestion for insect repellant that I use and love now. I buy my Sawyer permethrin insect repellant in the same aisle as the regular Off and Deet and others. I buy mine from the sporting goods aisle at Wal Mart. But the Sawyer, in a big yellow can or pump spray bottle doesn’t go on your skin. You spray it on your clothing, and let it dry before you put the clothing. Once it dries, it doesn’t smell. And it lasts on your clothes for up to six weeks! Once you are wearing your clothes and your body heat has warmed it up, you notice that the bugs don’t bug you so much. Because it lasts for six weeks, even through washings, it doesn’t rinse off if you get wet. It is based on the natural insect repellant qualities of the chrysanthemum flower. They have either synthesized that or made a close match. So it has never bothered or irritated my skin. My hubby and I own Stetson Creek Ranch in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California. We have an Apple orchard that we open to the public for You-Pick in the Autumn. I am in the orchard all day while we are open, and I have set up my base of operation by the pond, and of course, that means mosquitos. The Sawyer permethrin works at least as well as the stuff you spray on your skin, but in my opinion, it is better. I wear a baseball cap or cowboy hat, and I spray the hats, that protects my face and head. I wear a denim cover shirt most days, and I spray that, and I spray around the hem of my jeans, because ticks can sneak up your legs. I hope this helps!

[@TwoToes]

Thanks, I will have to check it out.

[@mikemcdade5706]

Got my mini sluse and my first clean up. Good gold and even real fine gold. Less than half a gram, still need to run 2 more gals considered. Very happy. Did it the same way I watch you do it,clean up at home.

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

It’s always a good day when Garry uploads a new video.. always awesome videos, always good gold what more can you ask for 🤠 keep them coming

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

Regarding ticks I use Permethrin, treat your clothes with it (not your skin). Kills ticks on contact. I spray my boots, pants, shirt, hat. Let dry 24 hours. It lasts for several washings. Skin I use deep woods off.

[@GrooberNedJardine]

That's an awesome little highbanker , nice and portable , very nice chunky Gold as well Gary , always happy when I see one of your uploads on my desktop , thanks for sharing ,cheers.

[@mccom7862]

You’re the man, this is an excellent tutorial. I watched another video of yours a few days ago and with that info i found my first few pickers. Super exciting. Thanks man!

[@ashleyaveritt1561]

Love watching your videos. I'm actually in Oroville. I don't have much experience but what i have really learned was from videos on here and well of course gold rush didn't help me besides giving me a dream. Would love to go out and learn more first hand.

[@chimpchowder5774]

Ashley Averitt hey your in my old stomping grounds! There is gold in your streets if ya look close enough! Lol yup they used local river gravel! Go up to the middle fork by milsap bar. You can always find color there. It's not very good for nuggets but you can find flood gold! Good luck!

[@georgewarlick3252]

GLAD TO SEE YOU OUT I HAD BEEN WORRIED ABOUT NOT SEEING YOU ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS THANKS

[@linwoodcrosby9348]

Nice video and thanks for mentioning about the tics. We’ve really have a problem with here in Southern and central Maine and the deer and moose are really suffering and our fish and wildlife dept. are very concerned for their and our health concerning these pest.

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Man that mini high banker is slick! awesome work my friend keep it up!

[@HMDickson]

Try a little bit of Repel Permathrin and spray your boots and jeans and let them dry. Lasts 2 weeks and kills all ticks that try to get on you!!! Good stuff!!!!

[@ronalddvorak1967]

Very nice day with your highbanker, enjoy all your videos.

[@roadapple8193]

Great day Gary ! Look forward to all your adventures !!

[@samroberts8365]

Nice one TT! I guess we'll see more videos of crevice#3

[@joeyfussell282]

I've said this before Lord I'd love to go spend the day with you. Your a nice man, very calm, just all around good character. I've always dreamed of doing exactly what you're doing.

[@michaelrausch9798]

Really enjoy your videos. You live in Northern CA which is Gods country in my book. I live in southern CA, which we have not had Real rain in 5 years. You are blessed.

[@peninsulahomerenovations9680]

Nice pickers, I hear yah about the cold winter feelin like a thing of the past lately.

[@jeffmillikan9070]

Dont blame you for going back to 3 with the high banker.. Good job!!! 👍 Thanks for video!!!!

[@goldgetters1164]

Another awesome video!!! Went camping up around Alta this past weekend and you're definitely right about the tick!!! We lost count on how many we had to pull off of us and the dogs.

[@Foxman876]

[@ToddAndrewCole]

Thanks for the warning about the ticks. I got bit 3 years ago and have been sick ever since; it's no fun. I love your channel!

[@maxsands3861]

That's some good gold Gary. Congrats and thanks for taking me along.

[@BruceschultzAU]

Nice one Gary You have to love those flat pieces mate , you get a buzz when you first see em. And they are the peices the jewelers like too, big but not too heavy. Yeah i think when the the ticks first come out they need their first feed the most then they breed or something in a short cycle. I Hate the bloody things too. In the desert here you dont go in the caves where the roos sleep. Or the roo ticks will have ya and they are a prick of a thing. Oh well mate my rivers are cooling down pretty quick round here. I dont know how you blokes handle the cold like yous do, saw Pauly panning in the snow, he can keep that. Might have to use this detector abit more. As allways love the movies Keep em comming Cheers Bruce.

[@TwoToes]

Its starting to warm up here, water is still cold. I think Pauly fell down and hit his head to many times - panning in the snow!!!!!

[@bobbitopaz2855]

[@markbridgeman2683]

Great video Gary. Your adventures give me incentive to get out and have a crack at some new areas.

[@cryptonight4860]

The big nugget in the bottom right of the pan in the intro reminds me of someone giving a thumbs up!..Very informative video as always..Thank you for sharing,love your videos!

[@insolentstickleback3266]

I picked crevice 3 ; D, glad to see its still treating you right! Great video Gary.

[@J.B.SMITHGOLDHUNTER]

I could watch this spot all day, very much like where I prospect. Great Methods And great gold!😎

[@chimpchowder5774]

Hey nice gold. That's a good day alright! I like them old bottles too! Thanks for sharing there Big Brother !

[@VoGusProspecting]

That little banker is mad!

[@TwoToes]

For one person it is perfect. I have been wondering, how much longet before Vo-Gus breaks down and gets a highbanker!

[@joeljeffery8704]

Nice gold! Too much water for gold, then fish. Beautiful area. Never been out there. Thanks for sharing.

[@TwoToes]

I wish I had taken a pole in, there were a lot of very nice fish .

[@paulcook7888]

Good job Gary After finding that much gold in one outing I think that would qualify you for a trip to Dairy Queen to end the victorious day

[@sumrica]

Enjoyed going along with you. Hey, you need some knee pads. Ticks: A couple of years ago, I had to take antibiotics because of a single tick bite

[@curtis6025]

Another awesome and informative video...not to mention some great gold! Gives me an itch to go explore our claim on the middle fork. Thanks Gary!

[@1000000trs]

Excellent video from a great guy.

[@charleswilder2985]

Congrats! Almost 2 pennyweight! Well worth the effort!

[@goldinhandadventures9970]

Love your videos!! Been watching your page for two days straight. Keep the good stuff rolling!

[@GOLD_FEVER]

every time you upload a video is an occasion for me ! they can't come out quick enough!

[@brandonpurcell4059]

Please be my grandpa... lol

[@jimgriffiths9071]

Just love to see all that shiny in the pan!

[@watermain48]

Great video Gary and a lot of good learning to be had...

[@billcoley8520]

I’m amazed you guys I see on the videos digging in rocks don’t have a hoist and cable or rope to pull some rocks out of the way. Just so you can get under them. Plus I never see anyone with a magnet checking for the minerals or black sand

[@TwoToes]

When I'm out for the day, I don't want to haul in the stuff needed to move rocks. Back when we could dredge we would take in all kinds of rock moving equipment. Most everyone I prospect or detect with carries a magnet, I have one in my pack all the time.

[@BackyardProspector]

Thanks for the video Gary, looks like you're having fun!

[@TwoToes]

If I'm in the hills - I'm having fun!

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

I'm really glad you did go back with the high-banker. I saw the contest videos too late to enter. I had picked #3 and even guessed it would yield around a gram, lol, oh well. Anyway I just took it to mean that I was learning some things here. That one big picker had me really curious what else was there and I was thinking "Damn he really needs Shane's vac-pac down there". That way you could suck out all the fine stuff in the bottom. Since the #1 and #2 spots had been mined out already, who knows what had been there? Maybe there was even more than at #3. Part of why I picked #3 was because I thought it was likely to still hold more, even if someone had creviced there before. I hope you do another one of these. I don't even care about winning gold I just want to play along and learn from it.

[@bobsullivan5714]

I would like to mention to those who easily get their knickers in a twist; The next time the water levels in the river come up, these holes will be refilled with fresh rocks and dirt......No damage being done to anything here.

[@oldminer5387]

Thank you for another great video. You make my cabin fever a little better.

[@cjsoutdoors4412]

Great to have you back Gary!.. I was just thinking about you today on my way home from work, wondering.. "what happened to Two Toes? It's been a couple of weeks since his last video! " lol... You're tutorials are the best! ⛏🇺🇸

[@TwoToes]

My days off and the weather just couldn't seem to work in my favor. Plus, I have been working on something new - should be out in a week or so.

[@boblemon8337]

Red = mineralization!!! Yessss

[@Freespiritangel61]

Even Before you mentioned Jeff I was wondering if you were still ahead and if he is still at the school? I just bought 2 cans of Ben's we get ticks real bad in the spring here in NH. I can even pick them up in the garden I am not always lucky enough to catch them before they bite. I just pull them off if they are not deep, if they are then I turn them counter clock wise to unscrew them they go clock wise to go in learned that from a nurse. Great gold as always love your videos.

[@Smithsgold]

I'm still coaching Baseball so not much Mining as of yet. Gary's winning on the Gold count !!!

[@zekeisme1]

i like to check around the base of the wall of bedrock when the gold moves it hits that wall and falls to the base of it on some of the big tall bedrock walls

[@stevenhigby3512]

Great video you know how to find the gold that is for sure . I always enjoy watching you find gold great job.

[@frederickbierweiler8020]

nice haul pretty gold

[@Famo59]

Hi Mate I think 🤔 you had a wonderful day Gold panning.. Ticks are bad to get..! Thanks for sharing your crevices tips. Cheers Tony.👍🍺⛏🇦🇺

[@prereitz]

Nice! Thanks Gary, great video

[@davidjeffrey8204]

I've been waiting for you to get back with the highbanker. Nice

[@naturechanel209]

Hella good info on the tick they really suck lmao I had a fat one on the back of my neck crawling and I freaked out what I get for splunking

[@area46241]

Oh ya big gold! Good Luck Gary Great channel!

[@carocarp5]

I would like to hear your tips for avoiding bears. In South, I have heard of them coming into campsites and grabbing backpacks right in front of the campers.

[@royolstad8532]

What great instructional info. Appreciate your videos

[@nathanlabelle6923]

Excellent trip out for gold ! Great take and video!

[@mikaelis1116]

Great video, and outstanding advice at the end. Ticks are no fun at all

[@JorgeRodriguez-iq7vb]

excellent video! Keep them coming! Can't wait till I head west.

[@tickpicker2001]

Great vid thanks Gary and thanks for the tips about ticks. If you go back in the summer and prospect the other side of that large boulder and if you find good gold would you be inclined to move that boulder or is that were a guy just has to move on and try somewhere else.

[@Forest_Actual]

Can you do a video on your mini high banker and how you run it? How to pack it to a location, etc? Thank you!

[@addictedtobedrock5282]

Thank you for your invaluable knowledge Gary! I enjoy all your vids, keep up the good work.

[@alinawaz3475]

[@donlombardi5219]

My sister lives in San Diego outside near Valley Center, and I'm always with visiting her. I watch your videos all the time and I was wondering if there's any place in San Diego or Valley Center that you could actually go out and try to find gold .

[@tomhall3172]

Great video Gary

[@lousimoneau7564]

good morning Garry,,that a nice pile of gold,,good thing to waik up to,,,thank you ..good video

Nice little total, imagine if you worked as if your life depended on it, me thinks you would get your 8 grams! Got the same problem with ticks here in OZ, I'm allergic to the little bastards and they have killed many of my furchildren ( eg. dogs and cats)

I see you have been adding to your hoard of Gold !!! I need to get busy

[@mijodo2008]

Great video. I have been looking at all your videos, collecting suitable gear in preparation for our upcoming first prospecting trip of 30,000 km around the top end of Australia. I notice you don't carry a Pin Pointer Metal detector. Why is that.?? Many thanks for your excellent teaching videos, they are so good we feel we are there with you. Top job mate 😀. Cheers from Australia.

[@TwoToes]

I have tried using them, but I keep having to go back a find it. I have been using the same tools for so long, when I move if they are in my hands I move on, forgetting the pin pointer. A lot of the spots I go are very long hikes and for me the pin pointer is not worth carrying in. Ounce you get to know your detector you can pin point the target very close. Thanks - Gary

[@malcolmscoins7581]

Nice day

[@johnpacman9547]

I love your videos and your teaching ability...but I didn't know you could still use a gas engine to run a pump to highbank in Cali? If you can please let me know cuz I own several claims and 1 has several good spots to highbank.

[@TwoToes]

I don't think you can in California. Lets just say I'm doing this wherever its legal!

[@johnpacman9547]

Two Toes. Wink....gotcha...

[@MericaAdventures]

Nice picker Gary. Your video's are very informative! I live is Sac and go to gold country but I don't find what you do lol

[@GarnettM]

I've got the gold buddy like yours but I'm making a grizzly box similar with a Letrap below .

[@joeljeffery8704]

Beautiful creek. Have you fished it? Nice gold, great information, and your videos are fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

[@TwoToes]

I have fished it a couple of times. Great fishing, alot of 6 to 10 inch trout.

[@bkblackmon1402]

Thanks for a Great Video!👍

[@bmdub]

Hey gary thanks for all the awesome videos. You've got me interested in mining, even if it's just an excuse to get outdoors and into some beautiful country. I was wondering the model highbanker you're using, looks like a proline? Do you think it's too much for someone just starting out? Would I be better off starting with the backpack sluice box from Keene? Either way I look forward to exploring the pacific northwest in a whole new way and I've got you to thank for it.

[@TwoToes]

I use the Proline 1 1/2" highbanker. I think a sluice box is a great way to start. Most are around a hundred dollars and you can move a lot of gravel. A sluice box is a great scouting tool, a highbanker is more for once you find a good spot.

[@au_rockn6797]

Great advise. Awesome nuggets.

[@cynthiaherr9029]

Really nice gold ya got this time..congrat's my friend..Be safe out there..

[@ScotlandsGold]

I was hoping you would put out new lesson today, thanks

[@peninsulahomerenovations9680]

Heed his warning! My dog got 2 ticks on him during an outing last weekend. I live in the Pacific Northwest.

[@jaredbalke9540]

Love your channel. I'm in NorCal and trying to find more color. If you don't mind the question, what kind of high banker is that? Do you have a few favorites?

[@TwoToes]

That is a 1 1/2 inch Proline highbanker - I love it!

[@121erich]

Great video! Good job, nice pickers and thanks for the tip about the tix 😉👌
