I have no idea how this old video showed up in my new videos, but I must say I found it very entertaining. First, I love that mini highbanker. Wish I had a use for it just to get one. The pump “we’re ready to go” line cracked me up as we could see the empty lay flat at his feet. I think I made the same mistake of priming the pump first instead of last when I started a looong time ago. Doubt anyone will see this comment but I just had to stop in and say how much I enjoyed this video.

Not sure how I've been prospecting for 2 years without seeing any of Gary's videos - binge watching the whole channel now that I found it. Great information in each one, well edited, no BS. Thanks Gary!

Even if I never get out to pan or snipe for real, I have already found the treasure! This channel! Thanks Gary.

35 years ago I used to occasionally go out on a Saturday or Sunday on my mountain bicycle with a gold pan and a small bottle and spend the day out panning for gold in small streams around Chico, Ca. These are some of the fondest memories of my youth, alone out with nature, cold water and simple exploration. During my 2 years of graduate school I only accumulated a little over half ounce of gold, but the memories are priceless. I use a wheelchair now and could never get to those places where I used to hike and bike, but your videos allow me to vicariously venture out occasionally again🤗 Thanks for the memories of being out with nature.

These videos are hands down the most informative and well shot videos on gold on KZread. Thanks two toes!!

Your video’s rock! Thank you so much! Nice to learn from someone who obviously knows what the hell they are doing!

I have been watching your videos non stop for almost 2 weeks straight, I am from SC and hope to get an opportunity to prospect in the near future. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise, you are a wonderful teacher!

Great videos. No bull, no ridiculous stereotypical old-timey prospector voice. Just good info. Finding good glacier gold in NY using techniques from your crevacing video.

You are a great teacher! I'm so impressed with your style. Your videos are excellent. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the experience. I missed this beginning and didn't see the motor model or size but I went back and seen the intro .Very informative.

Thank you for the lesson. You explain everything well. I’m hoping Santa might bring me a high banker but in the mean time I will continue watching KZread learning and enjoy the start of my retirement with my new metal detector. Kind regards, Paul (Australia)

I really enjoy your vids TwoToes! Good to see you Live'n the Life!! Thanks for the straight up "how to's". They are great!

Love watching your shows, straight to the point , professional and charismatic . Great job, looking forward to more learning.

Hey Gary, great videos on gold prospecting. With your knowledge of metallurgy and geology, you really make it an adventure for the viewer as well. Good stuff.

I think I have watched this 5 or 6 times. I use it as a refresher course before I head out. Thank You So Much

This has to be the best info on high banking on the internet. Thanks so much Gary . Priceless advice.

I forgot to put the weight of the gold found that day in the video - it was 2.6 dwt.

Dang, now that's what I'm talking about... a bunch of color in the pan after a day's work. I mean sure, we all love a day of activity in the wild and fresh air, but coming home with a tiny flake? Far more satisfying to end the day with a pan full of yellow. Nicely done.

Hey two toes I just started looking at your videos and I thank you for all the tips and secrets to finding gold I'm new at this and I saw a video of you using a medal detector I have an 350 ACE gerret medal detector and was wondering if I can find gold in crevices in between rocks like you did on that one video or does it need to be a fancy one to do that ?

@TwoToes

If it can handle the mineralization, you might be able to locate lead and iron targets. I don't think it will pick up the small nuggets but if you can find iron and dig out that spot you should be able to pick up some gold.

At 25:00 "TINK" beautiful noise. Like music to a panner. Great video, thank you Sir.

Thank you very much. That's the 1st video I've watched on gold. I live in a very good area to find gold and I would think with a simple box like the one you have I think a person could make a little money. So thank you for the good info on the basics.

AWESOME video, love the intro too .....cheers

thank you for sharing Two Toes

playing catch up;i have to watch all your videos to learn all i can.

I'm glad you have forceps, but also I use long, pointy-nosed tweezers which I machined down to suit my crevicing method. Sometimes after grubbing around and see a little sliver, only tweezers will do. Many thanks for producing this first class tutorial - Wendi

Good stuff Gary keep up the channel 👍

Really nice high banking tutorial. Thanks for putting this together. It would of been nice to have a bigger set up and some helpers so you could dig up those crevices better and run more of that good material. But them agin the more people in on a gold set up the more problems may occur.

Hey Two Toes! Just discovered your channel. Loving the videos. I was just thinking, if you and ol Jeff Williams got together and prospected you might take over the world :) His geological knowledge and your mining knowledge would be amazing put together. Keep up the great videos! I live near the Sequoia National park (no prospecting there!) but I'm doing some research on places to prospect outside of the park.

I learned how to pan for gold on the Tuolumne River about 56 years ago. I don't know where we were on the river. My dad and his friend Bill, my brother and I went down there to fish. After a several days of fishing my brother and I were board of fishing, so Bill taught us how to pan. I still remember the gold we found, I would guess it was around a quarter of a ounce. Not sure how far of a drive that would be for you. I'm sure things may have changed in 50 years, but that is as far south as I have gone looking for gold. Good luck and thanks.

Neat story. I would probably end up bored from fishing too, especially since fish aren't near as shiny as gold. I'm still south of Tuolumne. I'm actually south of Fresno. Been doing lots of reading. I guess Merced River, Mariposa County and Fresno River/ San Joaquin River are my nearest hot spots. Should be interesting this summer. :) I'm not too far from Kern county also, might poke around there as well. Hopefully if I find some gold my boyfriend will get as excited about it as I am. ha!

WoW , Lots of Great Info !!!%

That was a great video. Quite the Display of tools, especially the crevicing tools. Do you make or sell the longer tool with the spoon and pick ? Thanks 😎

Hey Gary - thanks again for the awesome video. I like that Proline; after my wife forgets about how much I paid for my gold detector, I think I may pick up one of those! Pretty darned sure I know where you were working, as my friend has a claim up in that area. Would be great to meet you down there sometime! We usually head down around the 4th of July for a couple of weeks and then if I can, I sneak away for another, late-Summer/early Fall trip. Best to you!
