How to find gold in a hydro pit

[@TomBrucker-GoldenYears]

Good morning ! Stating the obvious,ancient and modern rivers flowed across all types of bedrock. Knowing how to read the signs for bedrock and gravel helps improve your chances of locating were gold might have dropped out or accumulate. All your video’s have helped thousands of viewers become better miners! You spend so much time filming what you do and why. Thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge with all of us !!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

Morning Gary, you beat the skunk. Right on.

[@TwoToes]

It was close. lol

[@bedrockbennett1827]

If you can find gold there you could probably find gold anywhere a great job great video

[@Smithsgold]

I should have watched the video before working that pit !!!!! LOL

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Gary, always appreciated!

Take a drink everytime Gary says "Bedrock"

[@GrooberNedJardine]

I think the fascination of the Hydraulic pits is the History behind it plus the fact that so much work was done by the Old Timers there that there must have been extraordinary amounts of Gold there for them to find , and surely they didn't get it all . Another great lesson Gary of how you access an area and what you look for , when in a gold producing area , Thanks for sharing the knowledge . Cheers Ned . 👍✔✌

[@glenncivale6824]

I think the H pits are a good idea too- About 30 plus years ago when I lived on the East Fork in the San Gabriel's , my prospector's told me that H pit tailings were one of the best places to detect, dry wash etc, because back in the 1840's oe whenever they were hydraulicing, they only picked out visible pieces of gold from the sluce's, leaving behind massive amounts of small gold. Now, over the decades, a lot or most of it has been gone through but, I still believe you can hit some good gold depending on where you look and how determined you are. If I had the chance to get back out there, I'd be looking for tailing piles myself. Love the H Pit vids Gary!

[@rickflysaway]

Thanks Gary. Good solid tips on deciphering a hydro pit. I am going to go back to a pit that I stumbled around in and try to detect it using your clues. I'll post back and let you know how it went. As always, thanks for your insights.

[@VendettaProspecting]

Yes sir!!! That’s how it’s done!! Great work Gary! Have a great week 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you for making these videos! Watching these in the morning is a great way to start the day!

[@victorbryant2791]

It almost hurts my feelings what you call tiny gold Gary haha. You do find some really nice chunky gold most times so its all relative! My biggest piece so far has been 32 milligrams. Great video staying tuned for more!

[@hanshart1472]

When you have seen big gold, every thing else is tiny.

Thank you for the valuable information Gary. I'm going to do some detecting this weekend and this information will increase my odds of finding some nuggets. 🇺🇸👍⛏️

[@markopittman2833]

that area sure was worked by the old timers , at least you beat the skunk. what happened to jeff ? did the skunk spray his pan ??

[@Smithsgold]

Yep !!!!! LOL

[@jdmcarandmotorcycle]

Garry hello from Shoreline Washington😊 no gold this year 😊

[@insidebendprospecting]

Thanks for the lesson Gary, working the benches and hydro pits can be a bit daunting cause the gold isn't necessarily where the river put it! Looking for the bigger, heavier rocks is a good tip

[@blueleadgoldproductions133]

Not an easy place to find gold. However, great challenges make for great accomplishments. You beat the skunk, moved the scale and shared some solid gravel analysis in the process. Not bad for a claim jumping day. Aloha

[@toddrodgers5108]

Great information. I don't think we have hydraulic pits here in Wyoming. Mostly house dredge stacks. Blessings

[@kingprospector6953]

Great video bud. Keep them coming trying to learn as much as I can so the next time I'm in cali I know what to look out for

[@mathewturner7528]

You need to go to the most northern point in a hydraulic field. And that's where you going to find your big gold. with that metal. Just a thought Gary have a nice day

[@outdoorloser4340]

Why northern?

Gold is found where gold was found. The old timers didn’t find it all.

[@dananorth895]

They hit areas hard, and grabbed the biggest , most numerous material availible. But there's so much earth to sift through, and over millions of years of shifting rivers and erosion, they still only found a few percent of whats out there.

First back after the vid…the proverbial needle in a haystack but If there’s gold there Gary will find it 🤩 excellent information Gary on how to locate the guys of an old channel thank you for that.
