You guys should have camped up there. Weathered out the storm, then you’re back to digging for shiney. Good job Jeff oh and Gary you too. lol👍🇺🇸⚒🍀🍺

You two made my day. It's always nice to start my day finding gold with two old crusty men of the west! Thanks for the tag along.

That old pick and crevicing tool are awesome finds! Nice job Gary and Jeff, not a bad day to finish off the high sierra season

Mr. Toes, your 'pretty small' is 100 times bigger than my 'pretty small'. 😂 Thanks!!

A great day for December for sure. Jeff deserves a 12 piece bucket for taking the last before real snow.

Gary, it's always fun to watch your adventures. I hope to see you using your new found crevicing tool in future videos. 👍👍

Your definition of cold cracks me up, from a Southern Alberta/BC perspective. It's not even cool outside if you can't see your breath :)

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner !!!!!!!!!!

Greetings Gary... Gilgold Prospecting San Antonio Tx where every day is a Gold'n day..... is freezing my ass off in the high sierras.. I'm thawing out today. -skycloud-

Thats some nice-looking gold.

I Love the this. Ty 2 toes for making a generation of prospectors. We love all your content.

Right on Gary, good job as always.

East has the least, go west its the best. Dig it down and you'll loose that frown. Shiny as same as below as above! Thanks Gary!!!

Good morning !

All in a day's work, not too shabby!

what a adventure , thanks gary for all the footage . i enjoy watchn the competition . hey jeff , i see your down on the lead yet up on the gold. awesome.

I like watching you both . You make me smile . Good gold. Blessings

That's how to get it done indeed fam. What a blast. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

Nice artifacts,if they could only talk. You said you like the look of the gravel, had that area been washed? Or was it untouched gravel? You were very persistent working through the trash and finding gold below it. Great video, and thank you !!!

There's a lot of line going on there. LOL and a lot of fun.

2 toes, well done. Not a bad take for your last run up the hills. Good persistent dig yhrough the rubbish, most people would have walked away. Cool relics, good friends and good gold. ❤it 😊 enjoy your winter, coming into summer down under. Going to be dam hot soon😢. Thank you for the adventure

I bet you’re planning a return trip to there! What a great session.

Jumped into first place, now to the video.⛏️👍

Gold...is just the bonus. The trip and memories are priceless! December gold is a bonus bonus!

I need a pair of Jeff’s glasses🤣

Thanks Gary for taking us along. Great adventure!

Now ya got me heading out for the day lol. Great finds to the both of you guys. ⛏️🇺🇲💪🤠💚

Y’all both had a great day! Makes me want to go a little further west than Az to check out that Sierra gold! OH-and I thought I was the only one to remember’doomaflochie’! Lol! Congrats to Jeff, it was his day!

Jeff was on fire. Well done to both of you. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

Nice end to the Season guys. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Smith and Honan families and to all of your subscribers as well.

Thank you for the awesome informative video

Gary, 3 nuggets is a very fair price for a much needed steel rake, remember what suppliers did back in the 1800's, over charged for very much needed items, they got richer than the miners. Jeff, you under bid for the rake rental, maybe that was 3 nuggets per hour? Nice chunky 1st gold nugget Gary, very dirty though. Good job on reclamation, leave no trace & leave the woods looking nice, Thanks Gary for the adventure, always good to see you & Jeff working together, gold for both. Merry Christmas to you both & a Happy New Gold Year!! Jeff, nice glasses, did you find those there ; ). Serg

Been watching your videos for years always informative and entertaining thanks .

Nice job fellas! Pretty outstanding!

nice gold thank you for sharing the adventure and information 😅

What a great demonstration on working nugget patches. I definitely learned something on that one great job guys

Just glad to see Jeff out in front, you need to stay in front, and next time out don't forget your water bottle

Sweet at lest your on top of it nice job.

Well done to both of you. That was a proper day out

Also, Nice Rusty!! AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Lots of pieces and good work from both of you. It takes more skill to detect the small ones. Don’t let this minor defeat disrupt your long game. Jeff has got to win every once in awhile to maintain balance and harmony in the universe. Even a broken clock gets it right twice a day

Went outside this morning. Snow everywhere, will probably melt. Cant take this cold anymore. Getting too old.

Good work boys. Banzai

You sure that dumaflagy isnt a thingamajig sure looked like one course I'm blind in one eye and can't see out the other but that's what it looked like. lol But i could sure see that gold sound like Jeff made out like a bandit. Keepemcoming.

Good to see Jeff getting a few bits, that'll keep his interest up. Did he get the chicken dinner?

got a small crusher off craigslist. $35. bring the rocks back to my truck. see if i can find the rhyolite i saw. be out soon. have a good day boss.

Nothing to write home about....HA! I would be doing backflips with that nugget. Great job!!!

Did you show Jeff where to dig all those nuggets??? Looked like a great day a little over a gram and some very cool relics. I wonder how long was that guy swinging that pick to heat it up enough to finally bend it when he tried to pry with it…. Great adventure thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼

great video Gary! I got a Monster 1000 and so far I suck the big one when I try to use it. This is a good video to watch, thanks!

Nice Shiny!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Most excellent day for the both of you brother. 🤙🇺🇸

Morning Gary...

Good Morning!

I always thought dirty gold tastes like chicken! Thanks again for a great day, Gary and Jeff!

Man I know Jeff work hard for all of them pieces We're letting slide this time

The biggest one I dug this year is a 4 Penny . Built the house didn’t have much time for Detecting . Go or above or to the top of the workings use your best gold instinct less trash and bigger nuggets. A lot of times you have to dig them P streaks once you figure them out but it’s well worth it. It takes goal knowledge you can fold the page streaks specially when she figured out you can see the old-timers were they followed him it’s a game changer. And if you look carefully it’s not always the old-timers that Doug and I’ve done stuff and you did your holes in your back feel all the time when you fall pay streaks so you don’t leave a hole And if you do throw a bunch of big sticks and rocks in it so you can clean it out when you come back to the old couple mills in there nobody clean out maybe one of us would but you’re right you pretty much can’t see the holes we dug the loan we made the whole entire hydraulic press look like parks. It’s a hard thing to do but you get the talent. On the hydraulic pits you look for the older working of that above the pits that will get you in the right direction it’s hard because we’ve destroyed a lot of those filled them in and work them groomed them up so you could even tail when you leave hole if you want them to look like the old times I’ve been there style stack the rocks and stuff blend right in. They work by hand why shouldn’t your piles look the same sometimes I do if you really think about it. Was in your store several times over the years ordered some dredge hoses and things like that. You might be a little bit familiar with at the group miners from Quincy we started detecting in the early 80s pretty much the whole group I hang out with has made a pretty decent living out of it some of us are really good and I’ve done nothing but detect for income it’s nice to mix it up Hydraulic pits aren’t hard to find and we pounded in the hell out of all Then we came back and did it again and again we we would camp right in the pits months two months best times of the year and then move to Arizona or wherever the best mine was for the weather conditions but that’s not where you get all the gold there’s better places can be in the same areas kind of like Your buddies work in that place called secret Creek they didn’t figure out the secret I found some gold there’s a lot more there you can clear the stuff off to the bedrock and you still won’t hear that gold specially if there’s quite a bit of it and you do know but if there’s a bunch of nuggets it cancels out the signal food for thought try it you got to get it down deep in the dirt. You’ll figure it out don’t wanna give too much way out here in public like this even though they couldn’t figure it out if you don’t have gold knowledge

I think we have 1 more weekend before the snow takes over the high country. Rain forecasted for next Monday.

That piece you found towards the end of the video had a loud signal. I thought it was gonna be a piece of iron lol

Great day out. But what can't you believe? At the end of your show and tell, showing that square nail in the metal strap. It's driving me crazy...🫣🤣✌️😎

Snow falling.....It's good to have a look...nugget just for fun.....

An April Fools joke where you keep finding golden nails and throwing them off to the side complaining that you've been finding them all day would be pretty good lol

Nice day

I'd bring a small bottle of water for cleaning dirty gold. Some day you might come across squirrel poo or something.

Thats part of your 🦷, hah the competition is still 💪🏼

😎

WooHoo number 5

Nice day.

Morning

Gary and Jeff R the O G 's.

Morning Gary & Jeff ❄️☃️🎄🇺🇸😆⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️ 10:18 sweet find 12:45 sweet Jeff Merry Christmas to you both 😅

Jeff with the win!

Hey Gary, tell Jeff that lead just hit a dollar a pound. He's getting close to being rich! Bwahaha!😂

Jeff gots some fancy glasses lol

U are the man gary is there a club i can join to access that claim or hydraulic pit

You answer questions? 1) is the smaller coil better for old bedrock? And 2) can you use a carrot to locate the gold the detector picked up? Thanks

If there's gold there, you guys will ferret it out.

Showing on that big iron I thought you were going to show Us several pound nugget

How you identify the gold place in bushes ....

🥇 🐥 🥘 Smiths Gold 🍦

What led you to this location? What did you see that made you hunt this location? I m trying to learn all about this 😊

So ya left gold to look for gold and ya let Jeff put a whoopin on ya. I’m disappointed Gary 😂.

Any thoughts on why the gold is there? Is it a natural deposit missed by the original miners or is it there because they processed the conglomerate there (inefficiently)?

How much Gold did your friend get ?

But what was Jeff's weigh-in?

Since your are doing the video ---- maybe you should get extra credit - maybe 2 to 1 on nuuuugets ;) Thanks again

You guys snowed in.?

Why wouldn't you have moved away from the garbage???

What ? No ice cream ?

Jeff is a skunk?
