On this adventure, I took a drive out to Mineral Bar on the North Fork of the American River. Then Hiked down the Pennyweight trail.
I have never been to this location so the goal of this trip was to explore a little bit and maybe find a few pieces of gold along the way.
I was not expecting to unearth my personal best nugget
Metal Detector: Bounty Hunter 3300
Coil: Bounty Hunter 4 inch Gold Nugget Search Coil

Nice little nugget! In the early 70's my Dad and I often fished the Feather river below Sloat. On one trip I took a mask and did a little sniping. I found gold and have been sniping ever since.

Excellent find! I cant believe that bedrock crack had been overlooked in that location, such a frequented spot and no one had ever dug that it looked excellent!

Dropping it repeatedly like a clinker. I'd call that a thumper! 😂. I'd be doing the same thing while laughing and shaking, too. Thanks for sharing that. Great find!

I think the spot in the beginning of your vid where you said was old channel was actually an old hydraulic waste pile. still a good place to look! Nice nug! Makes me want to get out with the metal detector!

Nice picker. Not being able to move a little 100lb rock has old "Buzzard Thompson" Rollin over. Go back there, move the rock with a fulcrum and crowbar . I bet there's good color under it and on the upstream side, huh Jeff?

@@The_fishingfool You proved what many are not learning is that a cheap detector can do what an expensive one will do in the right area. That is awesome. I have found good gold downstream many years ago in a crack above the water level behind a guy using a 5 inch dredge when it was legal. Is it legal to use a detector there? I heard it wasn't in the Auburn State Rec area..

There was spotty service on the way in. I can’t remember if there was service down at the river.
