What to look for when picking a spot to prospect.

The part where he explains the importance of making sure the boulder isn’t going to move again is such great advice.

You always share great information, Gary, and you have such a way of presenting it. Love that you were able to get out before the rain. All the best to you!

[@alwaddle7390]

Thanks again Gary & Jeff. You have no idea how much your videos help us newbies identify the best starting spots! How about a video on sand/gravel comparisons (fine vs coarse black sand, hvy vs light gravels), what's in your pan besides gold that makes you do a second, third pan. Thanks again guys.

My Gold Master 2 is the deep depth master of the 4 detectors I have. Flat out no frills but beats my Fisher GB2 and Minelabs GM 1000 every time! Love the Minelabs GM 1000 over all, but all that high tech signal crunching beats down its pure signal strength a bit. Thirty years later still the Deep 45 kHz VLF Master! Thanks Gary ✌️PT

@Robert's happenings I don’t have a MD20 but looks interesting. Do you have one if so, how do you like it?

[@ProspectorTripp]

@Robert's happenings The MD20 is 300khz. Hummm, usually means super tiny material detection with little depth. Still interesting.. I’d like to test one.

Great video Gary thank you way to go Jeff. It is hard to find gold on the South Yuba but it is there. And some good flood gold in every pan hopefully. Nice nuggets something to write home about! I just spent three days in Missouri Bar South Yuba River pretty much got skunked. I looked up at the sky and shouted stingy River where's the gold! The next pan and 1/8 inch slate popped up and then another one and then it was all over! My buddy Justin Smith has a Federal mining claim there. He was not there. There was a burn scar by our miners fire pit and a homemade stretcher at the top of the trail did not look good.

[@skippythetownie3123]

I've discovered that the best gravels when prospecting new places contain Garys, you're always guaranteed at least two grams of gold. If you work those areas down to bedrock or start seeing Jeffs then it's time to move on cause you'll start finding more lead.......

Nice work guys, started to get back out with some help and have some concentrates from the hassayampa up in wickenberg, wow water was way low, hardly ran a sluice box, barely. Using my mini sluice to check it. Found a good clay layer on side of hill. Just ran 8 test buckets. Probly going up to box springs creek next.

My kitchen has put the truck on the back burner. I have hopes to be back on it by April or May. I have been filming as I work on it. Once I get it running, I will start posting videos. I don't want to post one or two them have 2 months without anything. I figure once it's running, it will be killing me to drive it.

When you're moving the overburden, how do you know there isn't a nuget mixed in with the stuff you're throwing over your shoulder?

Gold is around 20 times heavier than the gravel, on the surface the gravel is loose so the gold will settle below it.
