    Do not listen to people that say that area has been worked. I worked an area in the Scott River that everbody said was worked over and over. I paid no attention to them. I got 24 ounces in that spot in 2 months. Most people have no idea how to find gold even when it is rught under them.

And you show it in a real example/area that you’ve worked. For example the need to have more than just the sand…it would stand to reason that anything heavier than sand would have dropped out with the other heavy stuff. You just mentioning that kicked at least a dozen spots into my head that I’ve walked by while fishing certain rivers. Again, thank you for your expertise and willingness to share it.

    Well another great video and very informative. I can't wait for the next one, here in Georgia I haven't seen anything like what you pointed out. Besides we have to remain inside the Natural flow of the creek. We cant dig in any banks or the exposed edge. As well as it is pan and shovel only. Stay safe and see you on the next video.

    This is going to be a really interesting video. The up front cost for a good detector seems to be $4,000 and gold is ~%67/gram. Assuming Gary's success rate w/said detector one would need to find 2 grams of gold/trip for 30 trips to breakeven on just the sunk cost for the detector. My spouse frowns heavily at me whenever I mention buying one.

      I was thinking the same thing. An SDC2300 is $3500! I’ve also been thinking about a Gold monster 1000 which is about $950ish.
