The gold is just a bonus, I spend a lot of my time just taking it all in.

Most Americans don’t venture out into the natural beauty of The American forests , when you hear prospectors talk about their “Secret Spots” its the beautiful forest and rivers of this country and it’s no secret ! Beautiful sights and sounds of the forest and these guys call this spot with pride “Camp America “ ! Family and friends kids and dogs these people know the secret. Thank you to the Brilliant minds that made this happen . 😎

[@VendettaProspecting]

Amen 🙏

[@tdiron5277]

Next year sir see ya at the secret spot 🙃 It was fun meeting everyone! It was and will be again a good time . 😎

It’s not safe outside with all this nature 😂

[@tdiron5277]

I sat for a bit and looking at everyone out in the river scurrying up the banks hopping boulders digging , sluicing …. As I sat there looking at all you guys it reminded me of the fishing commercial and that secret spot . 😂😂😂 Next year we do it again 😎

Very nice meeting you Tim! This was my first nugget hunt. I did not dig, but hanging out at Camp America and swapping stories with the veterans was gold enough for me! Hopefully, we can do some gold hunting in my creek on my claims in the future. Aloha!

[@blueleadgoldproductions133]

I didn't dig a scoop of matewrial, or find a speck of gold, and still had a great time just socializing. Aloha

Thanks so much to everyone involved in The Nugget Hunt. Tim you have such positive things to say, and I love that you always remind us young prospectors that when your not finding any color, sit back and take deep breath and observe your surrounding and you will find the real treasure of being in nature and great company. I hope you enjoyed the purple lemonade and gorilla glue during one of the many smoke offerings to mother Yuba.!!! Until next year. ALOHA - Sean

[@blueleadgoldproductions133]

Mother Yuba thanks you for the offerings. Aloha

[@dirtypawsgoldadventures]

What a great event Tim. Amazing people and nothing but great times. Was fun breaking in my Angus Mackirk Formen 2. What an easy sluice to use, carry, and clean up. I was such a pleasure meeting you and everyone else. Already anxiously awaiting for next year's Nugget Hunt. Happy Prospecting.

[@cisummar]

Tim, excellent job on the Nugget Hunt. You & the other miners do an excellent job setting this up, i'm sure it's a lot of hard work. It was so nice meeting you, you are such a friendly & generous person & a pleasure to meet you and the other miners. I had a great time and found a nice shady spot across the river on your claim, although I didn't find too much, just small flakes it was definitely worth the long drive and I did win a bag of Dirty Paws pay dirt w/ 1 gm of gold, pretty cool. The Yuba is such a beautiful river & the forest, can't beat it and I didn't see any litter anywhere there, cudos to you & all the miners, I did find a coffee cup near where I was but I picked it up. I'm going to have to get to know the river Yuba to know where to look for the shiny stuff and will have to go light next time to be more mobile, thanks again Tim, take care, Serg

[@SaraJean85]

@blueleadgoldproductions133 may Kathryn (only) and I go up there and practice. It's the 1 spot I know if I'm not finding something its probably an operator error. I give u ny word not to bring anyone else. Plus Kathryn wants to get the courage to jump off that rock. By the time the miners council was over the sun had moved off the water in that area by the rock. I would never just go without permission and I told Kat I would see what u think but she may have to wait another year...
