J.C. cleaned up on those clean-outs. Justin always seems to find at least one good picker. You remain as the undisputed master of the recreational gold prospecting video. Thanks for another killer video.

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

You are always a big inspiration Tim with your kind words, I appreciate it brother!

[@janjohannessmith7033]

Nice day beautiful River good people bright pans of gold. Cool water warm sun soothing music interesting narrative well done editing feeling encouraged feeling inspired today wondering

[@GrotyGold]

Awesome video Jerry. Sweet gold you guy's cleaned up. Liking the milk jug scoop idea, looks like it works really well. Cheers for sharing, happy hunting Alicia & Steve

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Thanks guys!

[@KingFPV]

Wow that was awesome. Great video, editing & everything!

[@chefbarryriverchef7705]

Man you guys keep killing it this year I swear! Wish I was back in Cali for the gold adventures with the locals only crew !

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

We miss ya Barry!

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Man what a sweet area you are in. I Could throw up a hammock and a tarp for shade and stay there all week, happy as could be!

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

Insolent Stickleback , are you a gold prospector ? Just curious what you do for a living.

[@ronaldblack7222]

Say hey Brother, Love your show ! I've made my living on that river since 1978. I kind of giggle cause I have seen all of the spots that you go to. And no I won't say where they are. I found one that redeposits with every good storm. It's on that river too. You would drool over some of the pans that I get and they are consistent not like your good ones and then you're really funky ones this place is always consistent. We use to dredge that river with an eight inch and always did very well. I'm too old now too even go play, so I just wanted thanks ! Watching you kinda helps that old gold Jones.

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

I really appreciate the support Ronald! Any time you wanna throw some location tips my way I'm all ears!

[@chakmo_ol]

Love the voice overs bro

[@MericaAdventures]

Looks like another good spot guys! Good job out finding gold and making gold great again lol 👍🇺🇸⚒🍀😎

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

HAHA you know it brother! Will be good to dig with you again soon, at the good spot!

[@MericaAdventures]

Well hopefully it has some new gold for us👍🇺🇸😎⚒🍻

[@cooperventures1984]

Hey Jerry it's Nick with Cooper Ventures just wondering when you guys are going out again and if I can tag along I go on a lot of trips alone solo because I don't know a lot of people into this stuff and just looking for some more people doing the same thing I guess keep it up you guys are awesome

[@kylewinnett4691]

Man I wish I would’ve know more about gold panning and prospecting while I was stationed out in California a few years ago. I’m back in Oklahoma now and I’m wanting to head to Colorado and California to try it out.

[@chinolok9256]

Wow that's a good place.continue the good work.congrats to all

[@oriley81]

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

I appreciate it Oliver!

[@chrismyers9273]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos man! I lived in Alaska 13 years and got to prospect a bit. Now I'm in Va.Beach, Va. No panning and sluicing going on here. Thanks!

[@snil3464]

Moving to California in a month. Seems fun even if you don't find gold!

[@illeodavinci]

That location looked like paradise, with a bonus natural swimming hole! Great video and Gold 👍

[@michaelstanley9635]

Gold is Good. Being with others that share the same passion and interest in God's Country is Perfection......

[@MrWingo]

Just found your channel. Your videos are awesome. What's really blowing my mind is seeing JC in your videos. A few years back his brother and I were hanging out with him in Kaneohe and he was telling me how he was going to do this. Somehow I just knew he would make it happen. Just seeing him in these videos inspires me to find my way out there and make it happen as well. YOU'RE THE MAN JC!!! Someday I hope to get out of Kaneohe and pan for gold with you in Northern California.

@California Mother Lode Prospectors - What is your opinion on the Desert Fox Gold panning machine, compared to the regular gold panning method? Have you used it in the past?

Hey Joe, I do not have any experience with it but Dan Hurd has a video on using it if I remember correctly, maybe ask him and see what he thinks.
