    2 grams, two guys, two toes…too good.

    • @samsonian
      @samsonian Před 24 dny

      Not sure if that’s a good thing…two toes among 2 guys sounds like a pretty big helping of frostbite, beasty bites or some other affliction! 😬👀😳😉😁😂😂

      Stop eating junk food and plants because plants are toxic and junk food is poison and addictive. Watch doctor Shawn Baker and doctor Ken Berry.

  • @seanb3516
    @seanb3516 Před 24 dny +2

    I believe what you have stumbled onto is a Historic Ore Cart Accident/Spill Site.
    They would have cleaned most of it up but would never be able to get it all.
    Guessing where this might happen could depend on the road but back then it could be random with a wheel breaking.
    I have been keeping my eyes open for spots where Mercury/Gold Amalgam was being transferred in old workings.

    • @outdoorloser4340
      @outdoorloser4340 Před 24 dny

      How did they transfer Mercury gold amalgam? I thought they just use to sprinkle it in their sluice boxes to collect fine gold, and they'd lose a bunch of it on the downstream end throughout the day?

    I’ve been thinking about trying gold panning for year ( growing up in the high sierra’s) I found your channel and love it ! You help explain so much so clearly after watching many videos the wife and myself are going to hit up the river this weekend I can wate

    The roads in the sierra’s are truly paved in gold. ( at least in the shady spots ) LOL 😂
    Gary, are you using a new camera ? The picture quality is very good.
    Thank you and stay cool.

  • @KittyGonzalez-bc8ee
    @KittyGonzalez-bc8ee Před 24 dny +1

    Be extra careful up there this year! Too many weird fires seem to be "spontaneously" starting in bizarre areas. A friend was cut off from his truck after a 2 mile hike on a trail he knew well. It took 3 hrs to blaze a way out and double back to find his truck...he said his only clue was hearing spotter plsnes in the distance...thats when he saw a smoke drift.

    • @TwoToes
      @TwoToes  Před 24 dny +2

      That is definitely a concern this year.

  • @geraldbrunckhorst8291
    @geraldbrunckhorst8291 Před 23 dny

    Hey Gary! Howdy again from Montana! I’m a bit of a wandering nut, always exploring new places. I agree with looking for new places, particularly if those places where gold has been found yet sort of forgotten. Looks like a productive day close to the Jeep.

    Your artifact is a support bracket for the lower side panel on the back body of a pick-up truck. One just before and one right behind the wheels .

    WOOHOO!!! GREAT JOB!!! That was sure some beautiful gold after you got it all cleaned up! A camping trip sure sounds epic to me! Great job Gary! Keep hunting! Great things are in store this year!

  • @MrJoshinabox
    @MrJoshinabox Před 24 dny

    Nice score. Wish I could post photos in comments. I hit the mother lode up in my area of the sierra more south. Thurs, sat and sun I pulled 192 pieces of gold out of about a 15x15 area in the river mostly sniping. I owe it to the pros like y’all for the knowledge it took to do it. I’m not done yet..

    • @TwoToes
      @TwoToes  Před 24 dny +1

      That is awesome! I plan to start this year's snipping in the next few days

    Good luck in high country, Mr Gary. As for me up here in Alaska, the temps are already starting to go back down as our 4 weeks of summer is coming to an end. Temps in the mid 40's this morning at work, mid 50's back at the cabin.

  • @ottodeboer651
    @ottodeboer651 Před 24 dny

    The rocks are tree trumps of former trees. Petrified Biblical size trees. The gold runs in the trees together with quarz and other minerals in the veins aka root systems of the trees. The best place according too my knowledge is to go to place higher up where the water comes out of the rock. The rocks, boulders and bedrock work the same way as a giant sluice box. The best gold lays at the beginning of the box.

    Hi Gary, love the videos. I was wondering if it's worth while to do some panning on the south fork, up as high as emigrant gap. I'm wondering what that elevation point is, where the river starts getting scarce? Thank you for any insight out there. Thanks again!
