I love the Nevada desert areas. Finding old artifacts, prospecting, or flying my drone, I always have a great time. Wind and weather can get harsh, so one needs to go prepared. There’s something wonderful about the solitude the desert offers. Great video.
Morning all. I’ve been waiting for this video. Such a great week of camping and being free with no cell phones. Was a trip of a lifetime finding gold and having fun with friends And happy bday Gary ! 👍🇺🇸⚒🍀😎
Morning todd. . And happy birthday gary. Are u 40 now?
Morning!
@@TwoToes Morning !!!!
Mornin gentlemen. ✌️🇺🇸
@@danlonganecker good morning
Looks like there's a new Honan's lost treasure out in Nevada now !!!!!!!!
@Jeff
The largest Gold mine in Nevada. Is the Goldstrike Mine the largest gold mine in North America. It is located in Eureka County, right in north-eastern region of Nevada ???
Is Gary tired of California Gold or just the politics 😂 ?
He’s sniffing out a new claim in a new state 😂😂😂
Two Toes only goes to where the gold is 😎
Looked like fun ! even with the weather ?
😎
Great trip with great people can't wait to do it again ....AMERICA
Morning brother 🇺🇸👍⚒🍀😎
Ida loved to be out with you guys on that one. 🤙
Good morning Brothers
"Murica!"
Someone has never been abroad. Cute.

G'morning! What a great time! Thanks for honestly sharing the highs & lows of a good prospecting trip. A great time out in nature with friends is the best gold of all! Thanks & happy birthday! May all your birthday wishes come true!
It always amazes me where gold can be hidin, looks like a really fun place to detect. Thanks for the video Gary, glad you guys had a great time
Thanks for leaving your nugget jar out there, finally us guys have a chance to find some gold
I just got my gold monster and I'm currently up in the high desert apple valley ca, decided to check out a few of these hills around here, Bad move, this was a western type Roy Rodgers area and if lead and bullets were gold, I would be king.
Thanks Gary. I'm sitting here at home shivering and aching all over with a flu bug or maybe covid. But watching your video made me smile for twenty minutes and forget the rest. Maybe in a week I can get back to detecting here in Ontario. Stay safe.
In the outdoors with the boys can never go wrong! Thanks for sharing Gary, excited to see you again at the nugget hunt right around the corner! Hope all is well brother
💯Cool gold camping trip, weird weather, oh man that stinks you lost that bottle, Just ordered some tools from you're web page the other day, looking forward on using them here in the Green mountains! Semper Fi!
That was a great trip even though I got skunked, i did find a cool bottle. To bad you lost your gold. Your tent is very impressive. Vary fast set up and take down. 🇺🇲👍😎⛏️
Morning brother. Great trip anyways. 🇺🇸👍⚒🍀😎
Morning, give Boomer a pat on the head from me!
What a fantastic group outing. You guys are living the life!
So envious of you Gary and friends... Would love to get away and just camp .
Awesome video Gary! Thanks for sharing. I would be completely lost mining in that area. Take care, God bless.
Love the desert, headed to Arizona in 2 weeks to do some detecting, don't feel to bad Gary, it happens, I've lost 4 snuffers over the years, one was a pretty painful loss, several grams
Its about time with your mates and finding new amazing places. Thanks again for all your knowledge on here Gary. Keep it on the up and up!
Great time out fam. Always have a blast coming by. Your doing great work. Loads of fun getting out with the guys. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream fam. Gold Squad Out!!!
Oh man that reminds me of the vile I lost with a half ounce of gold in it. Great video. Happy you had a nice trip.
your videos are on my top favorite on YT this year, the first one I ever watched was actually you out on the boat fishing... 👍 have much enjoyed all your content.
Thanks for taking us along on your trip. Not someplace I've ever been. Looks amazing.
Thank you for taking me on your adventure much Love Always
That looked like a blast. Sorry you lost the metal but glad you had fun. Good job Gary 👌👊
way to go bennet , i noticed he had that big head on his detector. great move.
Nice video, great company! What elevation were you at during your snow flurries Gary? Thanks, Al
Great video. Looks like you had a blast. I really liked the little round white balls that were jumping into your scoop right before lunch.
Beautiful country. I can’t wait to get down to the lower 48 and try some different types of prospecting.
Gary, I noticed your tent is a Springbar one. A great tent.
Easy one person to set up, good in cold windy conditions.
Bet you slept a lot more comfortable than the others.
You nailed it. Love that tent.
Good morning
Morning brotherr
Morning
Mornin again brothers. ⛏🇺🇸⛏
Great video just thought I might watch it again remember all the fun we had it was a great trip hopefully this trip is even better
This time maybe I will keep better track of my gold. lol
Awesome video, mad journey right from the begining to the end! Oh yer, did anyone else see the giant gorilla at 0:49 - 0:50? ⛏😎
A little hint next time. Park the trucks in a v and put bags under them to block wind from camp. It helps a ton. I bring extra tarps for that occasion
I would love to see you collaborate with ask Jeff Williams, that would be awesome.
You are an amazing guy still tent camping at your age!!
What his age got to do with it ? It's just a number
@@graydonjones6912 the body hurts from decades of abuse. Sleeping in a tent can be hard on us old guys lol. It's rare to see anyone over 70 doing it. Very impressive!
Hi Gary,
Great location but ugly weather (man, it's summer).
Nice gold you found but could be more (I used to see more from you). Many thanks for sharing this adventure. Too bad you lost your jar.
Btw: Happy birthday belated!
Best regards from Germany!
Great adventure Gary....Much appreciated.
Bullets are plentiful in the desert 🌵 But if there is a nugget, Gary will find it.
You're a great sport Gary. You didn't even mention what your total might have been including the gold that you lost. Bummer on that though, but I'll bet it will never happen again!
Thanks. ✌🏻👊
looks like pershing county that you be in
Very nice Gary !! Thanks for sharing with us.
Ever find black sand patches in low point terrain around washes?
Good morning y'all
Happy hunting
Morning
Morning Hugo 🇺🇸👍⚒🍀😎
Nice video congratulations for the work.. God bless the life of those who are reading this comment.
Life detecting in the desert. 99.9 percent iron...1 percent gold.lol.it is fun thow as long as u find a peace now n then.great video garry
Gary in the future you should write your name and address on your nugget bottles with a sharpie so if you loose em and somebody finds em they can mail em back to ya 🙄 Seriously though that’s a bummer, I know the feeling, I left a plastic vial with my test nugget in it on a rock in the Mojave as I went chasing a tarantula, by the time I got bored with the tarantula I’d forgotten about the test nugget bottle and only remembered I’d left it on a rock a couple hours later when I needed it again .. never did find it .. but I’m hoping another prospector eventually found it and made his day. 🤠👍
Looks like it was a cold but fun trip!!! Really does suck that you lost your jar.
Beautiful area, enjoyed watching , might need to find even more gold just to cover the gas price 👍👌
Not sure if there "is" enough gold to cover the price of gas. lol
@@TwoToes yea really lol 😂👌
Snow ❄ in the desert 🏜 in June !
Ya - that's what we were thinking. lol
I’ve got to say my friend, that intro was awesome 😎
948th like
enjoyable watch.
cant wait for you to find a big nugg on video
good luck
Hi guys. A question for the group. We all know that the further the gold travels down a river the smaller the pieces get and the more rounded they get. But nobody ever says how far is far. Is the larger gold found in the first 1000 feet from source or the first ten miles from source? I just need to know approximately as I intend to do some detecting downstream from a side moraine left by a glacier. The moraine is only about a thousand feet wide and runs for several miles with streams and a few rivers cutting through it. Thx for any expert opinions given.
Man two toes it looks like a really fun trip with some friends!!! All kinds of weather and even thought the targets were few and far between at least it’s not alllll trash
Hey Garry, what kinda tent was that and what did it cost ya? That's my burning question.
My father and I did a lot of prospecting in the high desert, mainly for load deposits, but breaking out the detectors is a lot of fun. And it'll snow any time of year. Fun watching your video. Thanx
The tent is a Springbar made in the USA. Bought it around 10 years ago for $750 - 800. It is a great tent!

Hi Gary, Thanks for such great videos highlighting the technics that you use. My wife and I enjoy tremendously the videos that you post.
That being said I am going to purchase a metal detector and based on what I have read and you have shown, the Minelab SDC2300 seems to be a great all around detector. What other accessories would you recommend purchasing for the SDC2300? Headset, coils etc Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Keep those videos coming. They are super informative and very interesting.
Get a good set of headphones. The Koss headphones that came with mine were terrible, threw them in the garbage and have been using my Nugget Busters.
@@TwoToes Thanks for this tip. Also, where would you recommend I purchase the Minelab 2300 from?
@@jamesarseneau5623 A locale dealer that can help you learn the detector.
@@TwoToes Hi Gary, which online dealer for Minelab detectors would you recommend? The local dealers for me are over three hours away and they do not stock many of the detectors to try out. I am leaning toward the Minelab 2300
Looks like it was fun for everyone. However, goldseeking should really be done during banker's hours in shorts and a T shirt
Put a small brass cat collar bell in the snuffer bottle. It'll make you feel proactive! 😃
You teach me much. Here's a little in return. Turn your chairs over when you aren't sitting in them. That keeps the snow or rain away from your Butte !
I was wondering why I didn't see y'all around... Stuck in Placerville still xD Webber Creek is giving me a hard time, not to anything but getting to the location. Tough path, so, tips on that? I found a perfect bedrock spot for crevices, but it's so so hard to get to.
I always love a treasure story.
That woulda been an awesome adventure maybe someday I’ll have an opportunity to tag along. 👍🤙✌️
We're not getting any younger - let's go!
Morning brother Dan-0 🇺🇸
@@MericaAdventures mornin brother. 🇺🇸
Nevada’s weather is bipolar
Well Gary that half ounce nugget that you lost in your gold bottle would have made you the winner far and away. Well you will pick it up next time. It looks like a great time was had by all.
Did ya check under your tent?
I bet you had fun out there great video
Is it possible to save time by identifying iron targets prior to all the digging and sifting by sweeping the location w/a magnet?
Nice video Gary your gold was nice also ⛏⛏😂👍
Sounds like a blast.
What is everyone heading EAST ?
Jason for Mount Baker Mining went to work with Jeff Williams , no your in NV
Problem is I am too far east MN ;)
In California it's hard to head WEST.
Sure would love to spend a week there.
Great trip! That's one vast thirsty looking place! The video doesn't convey how the cold and wind felt. Nothing like dressing for ice fishing to go to bed. Sorry you lost your gold...did you look on Google earth?
Hello Gary. I watch your videos and I love how you do it. I found your channel because I was looking for information about the SDC 2300.
I see that you still use this metal detector. Could you please tell me if this is worth the money or now after some experience with this device you would choose something else for the same money?
I used only X-terra 705 and now I want to buy something more serious.
I like the SDC 2300 because it is foldable and waterproof. I also considered the Garrett ATX, but for some reason I like the SDC 2300 better even though I haven't used any of them.
Perhaps there is some similar device that is better than these two?
Could you advise something when buying an SDC 2300? I heard there are improved versions. Is this true and which version is better? I will appreciate any advice.
You should pick your detector to match the type of detecting you will be doing the most of. Example - when we were in Nevada, I would have loved to have a 7000 with a large loop. But the SDC2300 is perfect for 90% of the detecting I do. When you get my age being able to fold the detector and put it in the pack is a large plus. When both hands are free you fall less!
@@TwoToes
Thank you Gary for your reply and advice!
I think that the folding design is always convenient at any age. I used a non-folding detector and I never liked it because of the bulky design.
Waterproof is also a big plus.
Today I bought my SDC 2300 just a few hours ago and brought it home. Haven't unpacked yet. Looking forward to tomorrow to unpack it and try it out. :-)
Snow in July??
Awesome video
Beautiful country
It really is!
sad you worked for your gold and end up losing it. hope you get lucky and really will find it again.
Some nice gold.
New sub ! Liked ✌️🙂🤯
i'd have to go home to cold. i would have found some with my gold monster. most werent down far. just saying. have a good day.
Cheaper to buy nuggets on ebay.
Happy Birthday
You need a pin pointer
Happy Bday Garry
The lack of bedrock must have caused you to experience withdrawal symptoms!
Made it tough on me. lol
Great video! Sorry about the runaway treasure though.
There’s just something inviting about the openness of the desert. Thank you!
1st 😎
You in rye patch?
Close for sure but higher up.
More like Placeritas area.
Where’s Jeff, you must be missing his jokes
Are you quite sure you're in Nevada, and not ohio, lol.. that's usually about all I find, is iron.
Gary you need to brake out a pinpointer. Why spend more time on your knees.
I need to get a high powered magnet like his. I get more iron than anything.
Were you on BLM land? 2/3rds of Nevada land is owned by 2 men. And yes it would be illegal to stealing gold on private land. 1 man alone owns1.5 million acres him self and i had permission to be on the property and i had a map of all his land. That much land is bigger then the state of Rhode Island
Don't you worry about the whereabouts lol just watch the video brother
So....your daughter comes by losing gold honestly...
Are you trying to show us what a waist of time it is to go to Nevada .
I just bought a detector if yall have an opening for another tag along please reach out. I live in Vegas and would love to find a group to detect with
