Detecting Placer Gold on the Yuba River
Ойын-сауық
Me and Gary @TwoToes pack up the Jeep with all the gear to head up in the Sierra Nevadas ( Mother Lode ) to find some Placer Gold Nuggets on the Yuba River.
Metal Detectors, Sluice boxes and all our hand tools for Gold Panning and Crevicing are packed in Garys Jeep Rubicon just waiting to get the call if we need them !!!! The Temperature is a bit cold for Sniping and using the Sluice boxes so we concentrate on finding Crevices in the Bedrock and running our Minelab SDC 2300 Metal Detectors over them. How much Gold will we find and who will get the most Lead at the end of the day watch and find out !!!

First gold and a dog toy, Jeff wins again. However, Gary ‘s biggest piece definitely has some rough and chunky character. Your two look purty purty too. Best of all, you both slaughtered the dreaded skunk. I knew there was a reason to beat a retreat to the subtropics at this time of the year. It’s still going to be at least four months until I touch a gold pan or a detector, so keep these cold gold videos coming. Damn, even though it’s near freezing there, I’m still missing Mother Yuba.👍🇺🇸⚒️

just went to Emigrant Gap just under Lake Spaulding on the Yuba last Sunday ... west of Emerald Pools. I didn't find squat. I think the reservoir blocks the yearly flood gold replenishment, and seems like all of the bedrock was picked well. Oh well, still fun. Very little black sand too. I'll go west from there next time, like Maybert Crossing.

Haha that's funny you're working Tim's claim I pulled that dog toy out of the river during the Nugget hunt earlier this year and put it up on the rocks it was pretty close to that quartz vein. The water was a little higher during the Nugget hunt. I didn't find any of that gold on the outside bend.
