SO MUCH GOLD! in one little pocket.
Рет қаралды 1,494,705
3 жыл бұрынI found WAY more gold than I was expecting cleaning out this one little pocket. And I did not even get it all done. What more will I find when I finish off the rest! Gold panning on the Fraser river usually yields nothing but fine gold. But my claim I call Pickerton is loaded in gold pickers. I find at least one every trip and some trips like this one I come away with a lot of gold.

Gold is a truly remarkable and valuable metal that has captured the human imagination for thousands of years. Its unique combination of luster, malleability, and rarity makes it highly desirable for a wide range of applications, from jewellery and art to currency and investments.
@billanderson9958 Жыл бұрын
I completely agree! Humans have treasured and valued gold for millennia, and its unique properties make it a fascinating and versatile metal. From its lustrous shine to its ability to be molded into intricate shapes, gold has inspired countless works of art and design. And of course, its reliability as a currency and investment has helped to stabilize economies and provide a hedge against inflation. Thanks for sharing your appreciation for this remarkable metal!"

I’m a NZ Scot, so I know accents… please listen to your heart, you have a wife and sons ( I’ve seen them on other videos) and they are worth more than any gold, and I am sure they would rather have you than any amount of gold or jade. One day, when all this “stuff” is sorted, I would love to visit Canada where a whole branch of my family went in the 1860s. Keep well, keep picking’ 🌻🌞🌻
